Played for 4hrs every time I seen him, then stepped off stage and signed every autograph and took pictures until no one was left, then finished helping load the rest of the gear.. 1 of a kind
@@Eric-ff2ii definitely, it's gotta be tough to play every other night for 15 yrs ..he did switch up from ass jack to add and 3bar then fiendish threat , but when he wants to play metal the most and the majority are there for the cuntry set I'm sure he's sick of playing the same songs ..I'm really fortunate I got to see him 10-12 times including superjoint 2 but I still would go every year if he was touring
When I was about 17, my dad took me to a Robert Earl Keen show. Shooter Jennings opened, Hank 3 middled, and Keen closed it out. Before and after their respective sets, the entirety of the lineup mingled with the crowd, bought people drinks, lit up doinks and passed them around. To this day, best concert I’ve ever been to hands down. I got to meet the triple crown of outlaw country royalty because my dad didn’t have the communication skills to tell me he was sorry for being such a dick growing up. Fair trade, old man.
Saw him 3 different times in Jacksonville Beach Florida at what was at the time The Free Bird Cafe. Ronnie Van Zant' widow Opened up. Great venue for Live music. Anyhow, 3 unbelievable shows every time. The last show he came off stage & came straight to me, my girlfriend & her cousin. Said we were rocking out harder than anyone else in the crowd & had to come holler. He bought us drinks and I bought him some in return. I commented on his drummer reminding me so much of Animal from the Muppets with the wild hair and badass drumming. He thanked me and said damn Man you're right & then calling his drummer over & I told em I had some badass Bud & some Killer Moonshine which I did & then we retired to his tourbus and proceeded TO GET LIVE!!!! Literally one of the absolute hands down best nights of my entire life!!! It was just amazing. We talked music, guitars and amps, fiddles and just had a really great time. Stayed with him about 3 whole hours and he was genuinely unhappy when we had to go & he had to get on the road. I'll never forget that he insisted on us calling him Shelton and we introduced ourselves to him once inside the club when he first came to us and started talking to us and he called us by name the entire time on the tourbus and never once asked what was y'all's names again or anything like that. He was just a genuinely nice really really great dude. I made it a point to let him know that I had met Kid Rock a couple of times because of my friendship with Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd and he said F#@k Kid Rock!!! Man that was a great great night.
@@killerkiser8541 that’s true. I’m very grateful he needed to start cutting country records to pay child support. After the 1980’s a lot of the OG country stars started slowing down. When his record came out in 1999 there wasn’t many people making real country music at that time.
I’ve had work in the music industry over the years and have heard some things from some touring friends of mine. I don’t know what the reasons are or know anything firsthand so can’t say. I do know he was one of the best concert I have seen and love listening to his records. Hopefully whatever the reason is he can overcome it and possibly hit the studio and road again.
@@bendaves77 let’s hope. It would be pretty awesome even if he didn’t tour again but started dropping records. I’ve enjoyed the demos and covers he has been releasing on his CZcams channel the last few years.
I'm a metalhead who happens to love country. I don't know how this never reached me. Thank you for putting this together. Definitely going to look this artist up!
Don't state that as if it's surprising (metal head who happens to....) True music lovers love music of all kinds... "Metal heads" (a term I don't like) who don't love & explore all music are ppl I don't waste time on, no substance, to small minded. I DO FKN LOOOOVE METAL THO!!
Another great one. Hanks a class act in all the ways. He is great at the traditional country, great at the punk stuff, and great at metal. I think his grandpa is proud of him for sure 🤘
My son & his son are long time friends. When III did the tribute thing for his grandfather, the promo poster had his face next to his grandfathers & it was almost impossible to tell them apart.
Met Hank when he toured playing w Phil Anselmo and he was the most humble dudes. He is one of the greats in music and more musicians could take a page out of his book. Long live HANK III
Discovered Hank3 at a Warped Tour in Ventura CA. We were walking by and his Band Assjack was playing and was so good, we watched his set. Picked up the album and then discovered his Hank3 and Country albums. Amazing stuff.
Right Right Right…. Hank can play and make the money and jesco can snort up the profits. The crazy thing about Jesco White is he’s not unique in any way shape or form. There’s thousands more just like him in Boone, Logan, Mingo, and Wyoming counties, no cares, ambitions or work ethic, wants everything given to him and has no moral qualms about robbing the working man. Yeah what a cool dude. 🙄
I've seen H3 live i don't even know, probably 5-6 times and he lives what he writes about, the most genuine show and personable Artist I think I've seen. He plays like 4 hours and absolutely dishes it out, finishes the show, sits on the end of the stage and shakes every hand, drinks every shot (I mean a line of people forms that lasts for a long time, I don't know how he walked back to his bus) and is pretty much an open book, who absolutely earns every red cent of that ticket price. He never disappoints and I'm grateful to have caught the Straight to Hell era live like 3 times. Hell of an Artist, hell of a down to earth person as well. If you get a chance to see him, fukn do it, trust me.
In just 20 minutes youve summed hank up.absolutely brilliant.hes just so good at what he does,from country to hardcore.he gets it.and with massive respect to the musical styles. Ive seen him a few times,have missed last trains home because,he will play and entertain for as long as you want! An absolute top bloke,hope hes happy an healthy an tours again.i still love the black flag 3 bar logo respect and his listening to under the radar punk that aint mainsteam punk.i aint got any heroes but if i did,it would be hank.
He had just got off his bus, headed in to the venue. Too dumbasses jumped out of the line and said take a picture.. Thanks man. I was one of them dumbasses. That picture means a lot and I still got it.
I saw him at the Croc Rock, a tiny club. He played 4 sets for his four album release. Country, hardcore rap, rockabilly, heavy metal. Each set they wore different outfits. The group I took, some didn't know he played other than country. They left b/c they thought it was a different band after the country set. Their loss.
Hank 3 rules. Ill forever love the man for gracing us with his work on the first Superjoint Ritual album. Its soo sad he never did any tours or played on the 2ns album after the 1st. When I saw them live it was next fucking level and a moment in time that probably wont be captured again. ie Phils heroin arc, and everyone just drowning in fusion hardcore and drugs. It was so influential to me I ever started using at one point and ruined 10 years of my life, but despite the bad times in jail and everything. Ill always remember it fondly.
I've seen him a few times. Every show has been well worth the money. How the music evolves throughout the show is really fun and interesting to experience.
This was my life for 10+ years. Meet some of the greatest people via shows. It’s like by having the same taste in music gave you an automatic pass to party with the best. Would love a comeback. We need a Hank3 resurrection
That one aired when I was 12 and I was absolutely on board for it. My mom on the other hand absolutely was not and I didn't hear from him again until I was 16 and found him on youtube.
Partied with him once at a county fair years ago. He was on a fair tour playing his grandfather's music. He's an amazing guy! Very down to earth and welcoming to talk to. Rosen outlaw is my favorite album of all time! Great guy!!!
Hank3 is a badass..He could have sold out and took tbe easy way but he stayed true to himself and his punk roots..Hank3 is as real as the come..We love ya Hank and hope you return someday.
I was working on my friend's Farm the year I got out of prison my buddy put this on when we were delivering vegetables told me that I reminded him of this guy a real country Outlaw and a stand up guy
My favorite artist. We’re related distantly. His mother is related to the Shelton family as am I. That’s how he got his first name and I also named my son Shelton. We never missed a III show if we could make it and I’m glad. I don’t think we’ll ever see a return but I damn sure hope I’m wrong.
I love me some Hank 3 , Arson Anthem , Assjack and all he is involved with ! He is not only real country , he is the real deal and real to the bone ! I recently moved to a little town in Kentucky where everybody listens to country , yet nobody ever heard of him ! Blew my mind ! So Slowly but surely I've been showing his music off and telling a bit about him to everyone who will listen , and now they love him and wonder why they are just now hearing of him lol ! I get em hooked with 7 Months 39 Days and Cecil Brown and go from there .
I’ve probably seen a couple hundred concerts I guess but I’d never seen anything like them at that time. World class musicianship starting with Shelton and they just nonstop blew our brains out for four or five hours. Don’t think I ever never met a nicer dude either.
Holy shit!! That is the greatest thing Ive ever saw!! I now remember someone telling me about this guy a few years back. That was the same guy that told me about some of the Country rap and rock stuff that I have now enjoyed for many years. I never checked this guy out. I have a 4 hour drive to make this morning, I know what I will be listening to now. This sounds amazing!! How have I never listened to this guys music??
saw hank3 in denver. he played every country song hes has and then played a ton of assjack it was one of the sickest show ive ever seen. and the longest.
It's interesting to know Shelton Williams knows the true spirit of Punk Rock. I love the Killed By Death album compilations. You should look for Blood Stains Across Texas albums. I wonder how many KILLED BY DEATH records have been made? I have a handful of records #1 - #13 I picked up from Hogwild Record in San Antonio over 25 years ago or longer.
You should watch the episode of crate diggers he did, it’s here on CZcams, he talks about his album collection and his love of Punk, he is a true fan of Punk, check it out, it’s pretty good, just look up Hank 111 on Crate Diggers, God Bless🤘
I met him and hung out with him for 10 hours at a cheap motel in Knoxville Tennessee as he was touring with Superjoint Ritual which was Phil Anselmo's (of Pantera) band. He was extremely down to earth. I asked him why he chose the underground scene over the "mainstream" legacy his father and grandfather left. He said,..."Because im a fan of ugly and brutal honesty." He also said he never has to worry about money but refuses to touch his family's money. Which i took as "i make my own way from A to Z. I will say this though. He did have a significant drug issue when i met him. He was very transparent about it. Sheldon has a golden heart. Extremely kind and giving. I really hope he is doing well. Love you brother.
Thank you! I didn’t know about this. I used to see Hasil Adkins and got to hang out with him a few times. I miss that guy, he let me play his guitar and he used old🚬 cigarettes shoved into the strings to keep them in tune. He told me I “got the hunch “. Anyway this is new to me something to check out 🙌appreciated !
Awesome video, good sir. Freaking love Hank 3, and Coe for that matter. DAC, after all, is the only man in the world who can make Linda Lovelace...well, you know what I'm asayin
I saw him in Indiana. I'm one of those people who would go see ANY live band if I had the time. Country has never been my absolute favorite, but I respected it. I was just vibing and drinking when he announced that the country portion of the show was over and they were going to burn the fucking place down. If you were there for country, and offended by punk and metal it was time to get the fuck out. I was all in! Easily one of the greatest surprise shows of my life. I loved it all. The hard-core, and the country.
Played for 4hrs every time I seen him, then stepped off stage and signed every autograph and took pictures until no one was left, then finished helping load the rest of the gear.. 1 of a kind
Probably why he stopped working because he burnt himself out with the four hour shows
@@Eric-ff2ii definitely, it's gotta be tough to play every other night for 15 yrs ..he did switch up from ass jack to add and 3bar then fiendish threat , but when he wants to play metal the most and the majority are there for the cuntry set I'm sure he's sick of playing the same songs ..I'm really fortunate I got to see him 10-12 times including superjoint 2 but I still would go every year if he was touring
@@Eric-ff2ii Hell, I know from personal experience that even a 2-hour show will wear you the hell out. He had amazing stamina.
@@etherashe5164 yeah it’s sad I won’t be able to see him live. It seems like he’s disinterested in returning to touring.
Straight up by the time the last hour came around you can tell who the real fans were cuz they were still there!!!
A Hank3 comeback would make the world a much better place!!
He plays metal pretty sure
He had one project with Phil Anselmo
Hank 3 is a legend. I appreciate how he incorporates punk,metal,and country and shows respect for every genre. A true original.
Fuck Curb Records , life is short ,we need Hank 3 back
Imagine a corporation ruining an artist. Who'd a-thunk it!
He's strung out on meth probably won't see him again. 😢

I've probably been to some shows with you, my dude. Really miss the Free Bird, so many good shows. Surfer Bar sucks shit through a sock.
RIP Gary.
Stoked for this one. Hank 3 is one of my all-time favorite country music singers. Hopefully he makes a comeback soon. It’s much needed.
He never really intended on being a country artist.
@bendaves77 why do you say that? How do you know he's on drugs ? Explain ? I heard he's had been dealing with curb again , so
@@killerkiser8541 that’s true. I’m very grateful he needed to start cutting country records to pay child support. After the 1980’s a lot of the OG country stars started slowing down. When his record came out in 1999 there wasn’t many people making real country music at that time.

By far the best story and coolest guy in country music of the 21st century.
Hank 3 is a real down to earth fella. He is one of the best guitar pickers I've ever seen in person. You always got your money's worth seeing Hank 3.

You wont be dissapointed🤘
No shit??? Hank's the bees knees and a fire up her skirt, son!
Check out his side band called Assjack
Another great one. Hanks a class act in all the ways. He is great at the traditional country, great at the punk stuff, and great at metal. I think his grandpa is proud of him for sure 🤘
Hank 3 is one of a kind. Dig the country and the hardcore he plays. It's a shame he hasn't been given the recognition he deserves.
My son & his son are long time friends. When III did the tribute thing for his grandfather, the promo poster had his face next to his grandfathers & it was almost impossible to tell them apart.
So cool 😎
No shortage of decent Tennesseans out there, God bless ya'll.
@@NickajackP Hardly. Racist-ass state government is representative of the tennesseans that vote for them.
@@NickajackPthanks man
There's no doubt that they're related. Spitting imagine.
Hank III is my absolute all time favorite! Let's hope he gets on the road real soon!
I love the seamless transitions between classic country and punk without changing instruments. Love the nods to Coe as well.
my mom and sister have met him a few times. he was always so respectful and kind. he is a genuinely nice and talented person.
Same here. I've seen him a few times and I will again. I wish he'd come back again.
Met Hank when he toured playing w Phil Anselmo and he was the most humble dudes.
He is one of the greats in music and more musicians could take a page out of his book.
Long live HANK III
I caught Pantera 3 times in the 90s, loved them guys, sad ending
A Superjoint Ritual show changed my life. I never missed a chance to see Hank3 live from that point
@@jasonfoster7481 I saw Superjoint Ritual at the Aladdin Theater back in '03. Phenomenal show!
Now this is "OUTLAW COUNTRY". Fucken genius man.
My favorite country singer. He needs to come back!
Cheers from acorss the pond, cool to see someone from outside of USA appreciate Hank 3
I sold this guy a QP back in the day after a show in Texas. Awesome down to earth dude. Easily top 5 best performers I’ve seen
Discovered Hank3 at a Warped Tour in Ventura CA. We were walking by and his Band Assjack was playing and was so good, we watched his set. Picked up the album and then discovered his Hank3 and Country albums. Amazing stuff.
May I ask what year Warped Tour that was. I was at 07. I'm guessing Hank was there long before that. I can't picture him there in 07.
He is the spittin image of his super legendary grandfather Hank Williams.
Hank 3 is the truth .. Great video
the most punk metalhead of country singers
David Allan Coe
Hank III was one of the best shows I've ever been too.
best sets ive ever seen came from this legend
Absolutely. By far the best country show I’ve ever seen. Also in my top ten concerts of all time. I am bummed he stopped doing everything.
Hank and Jesco together with bucket head. That would be the complete package. He’s a very cool dude.
Jesco 😂😂😂😂
Right Right Right….
Hank can play and make the money and jesco can snort up the profits.
The crazy thing about Jesco White is he’s not unique in any way shape or form. There’s thousands more just like him in Boone, Logan, Mingo, and Wyoming counties, no cares, ambitions or work ethic, wants everything given to him and has no moral qualms about robbing the working man.

Thanks man. I was one of them dumbasses.
That picture means a lot and I still got it.
Superjoint Ritual! This band reall changed my life! Thanks lll!
What a great video! He’s the real deal! All these other modern country artists can’t hold a candle to him!
I don't know. Have you checked out Sierra Ferrell? She's pretty damned good. Also Charlie Crocket and Mellisa Carper.
Cody Jinks played metal before going country. Now a platinum selling Texas country artist. Independent artist.
Very talented country musician,and Metal!
I saw him at the Croc Rock, a tiny club. He played 4 sets for his four album release. Country, hardcore rap, rockabilly, heavy metal. Each set they wore different outfits. The group I took, some didn't know he played other than country. They left b/c they thought it was a different band after the country set. Their loss.
The man walks his own path, he pisses excellence in his own way
Thanks for the education, I had no idea....
I'm better now for knowing him.
Great video! Glad he is still getting the love he deserves!

Love Hank III,and his father,Hank Williams Jr,and his grandfather,Hank as well 🙂
Hank3 is a badass..He could have sold out and took tbe easy way but he stayed true to himself and his punk roots..Hank3 is as real as the come..We love ya Hank and hope you return someday.
Loved Hank Sr. and the Sex Pistols…. so yeah, Hank III was a natural fit.
This is absolutely superb!!! Thanks for putting it together ⭐
Hank 3 !!! We need a new album soon, love your gig brother the whole hellbilly shindig rocks much love from Jakerz outta coos Bay OR
Now, THIS is a country star I'd be excited to meet. I've opened for a lot of people, but I'd pay to see Mr Williams III.
TOME TOME TOME Back with full vengeance. GENIUS at footage findings. 👏 let's get TOME to 1000000 subs guys. 🎉🎉 let's make it happen

I freaking love OxyContin Blues. Phenomenal banjo playing, Phenomenal song.
@@user-xl1zq8sk7v you are my kind of person. Try CCKMP from the album I FEEL ALRIGHT
Great video, Tome. Cheers!
Seen him three times, met him twice, and the only time I ever went out of state to see a show in Vegas and his opening act was Those Poor Bastards💀💀💀
I seen that tour as well! When he came out in the skeleton costume for black dog yodel was very dark and extremely theatrical
Thats how country should sound today
Great video on an AMAZING artist, American, and Human Being!! Shelton has earned the right to roll his own in his own way and more power to him!!
I was working on my friend's Farm the year I got out of prison my buddy put this on when we were delivering vegetables told me that I reminded him of this guy a real country Outlaw and a stand up guy

Thank you, thank you, thank you. My fav
I saw Hank 3 and his other band Assjack at the New Orleans House of Blues in 2010 and it was pretty freaking awesome
Saw him in monroe louisiana some yrs ago and it was one of the best shows ive ever seen
He is most definitely the most legendary of the three hanks
I discovered him via the Melvins. Only collaborator on the album I hadn’t heard. Struck gold on that one.
I saw Hank 3 on that tour around 7:40
His crowd was the most diverse I have ever seen in 30 years of going to shows.
I saw him playing with Superjoint Ritual on their first tour. Great show. Met him afterwards and was really cool to everyone. Thanks for sharing.
Hank 3 is an eclectic madman and I love it brother!!!
He was awesome in Superjoint Ritual!
Thanks for this video here, Shelton is The Real Deal, Cousin Figel
He is one heck of an artist. He is really self-aware.
If Hank III ever tours again, I will definitely be there.
Much love to 3 from Oklahoma.

kinda dope was he doing?
@@shanehopson8644 He said speed. I assumed speed was meth but didn't ask.
He's been strung out for a while. He just can't get that monkey off his back. Meth is a hard drug to kick 70%, so don't make it.
He's talented and genuine.
A rare combination
Thank you! I didn’t know about this. I used to see Hasil Adkins and got to hang out with him a few times. I miss that guy, he let me play his guitar and he used old🚬 cigarettes shoved into the strings to keep them in tune. He told me I “got the hunch “. Anyway this is new to me something to check out 🙌appreciated !
It's so awesome seeing those old sets with Joe Buck and Banjo Dan and JD Wilkes.
Joe Buck and Dan Mason still tour the country
We need the Hank 3 Billy strings tour.
That was great thank you
Awesome video, good sir. Freaking love Hank 3, and Coe for that matter. DAC, after all, is the only man in the world who can make Linda Lovelace...well, you know what I'm asayin
I saw him in Indiana. I'm one of those people who would go see ANY live band if I had the time. Country has never been my absolute favorite, but I respected it. I was just vibing and drinking when he announced that the country portion of the show was over and they were going to burn the fucking place down. If you were there for country, and offended by punk and metal it was time to get the fuck out. I was all in! Easily one of the greatest surprise shows of my life. I loved it all. The hard-core, and the country.
Hank III is the kind of guy who will hang out with his fans after a show. Very down to earth, cool guy.
This is awesome. How did i sleep on him all these years. 11:53 That decending violin part. Awseome.
So lucky i got to see him live, I hope he returns one day !
My god an innovator like his dear Grandpa thanks for this really educated me about the evolution of what music should be.❤️🙏👍
Thanks for covering this
When I saw III wearing a Misfits Fiend Club shirt at the grand old opry, I knew I'd be a fan. Have been ever since!
This guy is the real deal . 100% . A Product of Punk rock Americana in the flesh.
I have ssen 3 live. Its one the best shows ive been to 💀☠️💀☠️
One of the best shows ive ever been to
