I listen to this band, I look at him, I think about what he’s saying, and I realize how truly fake and superficial most people are. Absolutely awesome band, great interview, great questions. Rock'n'roll will never go away. ✌️
Thank you Sandra for sharing this interview. I've recently stumbled upon Rival Sons and am blown away by their music and really respect where they are coming from. I think Jay is such a great singer and their music is actually timeless. I grew up on classic rock and I am so appreciative that Rival Sons exist in this day and age! I never dreamed that I would come across a band that brings me the same kind of joy and excitement I felt when I was growing up! Jay really comes across as the real deal, and that is a breath of fresh air during these times. I really hope that more people become aware of and appreciate Rival Sons and I wish them as much success as possible!
I absolutely love the fact that he mentioned Greta Van Fleet and The Struts along with Rival Sons as up-and-coming bands doing rock and roll the way it ought to be done.. I love all three bands, but right now Rival Sons just took a commanding lead!
Ive been *committed* to #RivalSons for the last 10 years now. Own every single one of their albums. These guys have revived Rock N Roll out of it's fatal coma! I hope their latest album _Feral Roots_ makes it to number 1 w/ a bullet !!! P.S: Jay is the _Robert Plant + Jimi Hendrix_ of our generation as far as _fashion + style_ goes; and as a _vocalist_ - he is in a league of his own, and probably one of the greatest Ive had the pleasure of listening to during the last decade!
Fantastic interview! Jay is very articulate and concise. However, I disagree with his political bit. I have seen and read countless testimony from Border patrol about the influx of illegal immigration. This is NOT a racial issue, it’s a real issue. All countries have strict immigration laws for a reason. Do you lock your door at night to protect your family, or do you leave it wide open?
I agree completely! I love this band, but if he thinks drinking water is more of an issue than our boarder's, then I find that pretty small minded. Drinking water in Michigan, or any state, is a problem within their own states local politicians. I would bet anytime that, crime in Michigan is a way bigger problem than drinking water. Not trying to start a political debate, but that sure is a poor example of comparison.
This guy gets sexier and sexier but the day. I love how he is so gentle in how he replies and looks her in the eye. Not only is he speaking his truth but you can sense its coming strait from his heart. Great vid
Ones personal opinions are revealed in their "output" whatever that may be. He's a musician and songwriter. His internal self is out there in his art. How can you say just sing dude, don't give us your views? It's All his views. Accept it or don't.
Brilliant Artist but clueless views about the boarder, We can't have open boarders anymore, draining taxes away from homeless Vets, we need to know who is coming into our country, we want legal immigration not illegal, just as you lock your doors at night, not cause you hate people outside but because you love people inside
rlly appreciate the kind of question that u gave to jay instead of some typical question some interviewer keep on repeating with the same questions, keep it up. love u jay!
I love Jay. But I'll tell him what I'll tell anyone dismissing the sovereign borders of our country: Go buy a house in El Paso. Live in it for a year. Then revisit that discussion.
David Rivera exactly what I just said. Reality is much different than what people who live in Hollywood and New York realize. Did you not comprehend my sentences?
@@mojopin2000 Look at the situation now! Is there any sane person who has doubts as to the screaming urgency of a wall on the southern USA border? Also, the whole of Michigan is not struck by a lack of drinking water. And the problem in Flint was acute in the Obama days, as we all recall. That was an inane statement. Nonetheless, great music.
Great interview! I am a huge fan of Rival Sons and after watching this, even more fan. This band deserves much more recognition. They are so good. Saludos desde España.
Albert Valdez i seriously try to keep politics out of what music i like. I also appreciate bands who aren’t over the top with their politics. Sometimes agreeing to disagree or trying to see the other side is fine!! Personally i think unvetted immigration is part of the problem we currently have!!! Not our whole problem but nonetheless! I still love rival sons and try to keep an open mind. However i dont agree with all musicians i listen to nor do i expect they have to agree with me!! I try to keep an open mind and understand all sides even if i think I’m right!
This interview is off the chain!....Jay is talented, intelligent, wholesum, charmastic, arrestingly hansum n a wicked dresser. I love the cut of his jib, he speaks my speak!!
There’s a difference between The States n The Government n yes live ur life in a good manner n respect for all people.Then life will be good back to you. Ps. You handle yourself well,plus y’all Rock ! From South Louisiana man
Coming to Fillmore in SF next week . Somebody said be sure to wear some flowers in your Hair but I'm thinking some Sacred Sativa in there dressing room would be more insightful.
Jay is right that you should be able to say your opinions as an artist, but it is true that it is risky. Because of the simple-mindedness of 90% of Americans, I wouldn't bother sharing my opinion.
Having a personal political opinion is fine, but when I pay to see a band at a concert I don't want to hear anything about politics, even if I agree with what the band members believe. Politics is now in every part of our lives and I personally use music to get away from it. All politics does is divide and stir up hatred.
Never saw him give a political speech in any of his shows. When did this happen? Never. He just replied to the lady's question, as honest as he is when he is asked questions. Genuine guy. That is all
Great band and singer, but he's an entertainer, so I personally would prefer to keep politics out of my entertainment. We get enough politics everywhere else 24/7. And it "is" embarrassing to be an American and have 100,000+ people illegally crossing our borders and into our country illegally and the left doesn't think that's a crisis that needs fixing ASAP. Border patrol is overwhelmed, kids are being used as pawns and recycled by drug runners and coyotes, with their info written on their shoes. Meanwhile we already have 500,000 homeless Americans struggling to find food and shelter tonight. The DEMs priorities are clear and political, and citizens are #2 on their list. Crazy times.
Too funny. People who support a president that "speaks his mind" while using his "status" to insult, bully, and weigh in on television ratings and everything but presidential matters though the press and social media have an issue with a singer sharing how he feels. Crazy times indeed.
The false binary of politics is nonsense. They're two wings of the same bird. Now, with that said......Too Bad is the best song I've heard in a while. Diggin' this band.
Im from Flint...the problem is with state and local leaders..who should be in jail. And there is a huge fukin problem with illegal immigration at the borders.. Jay is blessed with a beautiful voice And sings for one of my favorite bands.. But he prolly should stick to the music. Growing up in Kalifornia has made you a full fledged lefty..
Jay I agree Michigan Democrat's should fix the water problem in their state, an in case ya don't know, without laws we have no Country, an why we need sections of walls to stop drugs an humane trafficking, terrorist, etc yet to allow legal immigration. Do you lock your doors at night?, Why cause you hate people on other side or because you love the people behind your locked doors. Please stick to music not politics
The problem with musicians and politics is that they believe because people like their music all of a sudden their political views must be injected into their music to guide their fans. Bullshit. People escape through music. If a band wants to be CNN blasting their opinions on everyone go do it and leave the music to people who want to show their artistry at music. Because baby, if your opinions are the same as every fucking talking head on tv, you aren’t different or counterculture you’re just main stream media, sorry. And yes, you will lose fans because people love rock and roll for the rebellion, for the balls, for the real world of love, spirituality, and dealing with the bullshit of life, not being lectured on who they should vote for or how to believe political bullshit. But hey, you be you, it’s your gig. Wanna sing about #orangemanbad go for it and join all the other NPC artists, you’ll still make your money. It’s cool.
Amen! like i said before i'm drawn to them for the music..... i could care less what their favorite flavor of ice cream is or who they voted for.....still laughing at the guy who compared slash to hendrix
I’m a right leaning guy and I don’t think he said anything terribly controversial. Opinions vary on the efficacy or merit of building a wall. One could definitely argue we have bigger problems in the US regardless of the consensus on what the solutions are to those problems.
The reason you shouldn't talk politics is because politics isn't your strong suit. Obviously, drinking water and walls can be addressed simultaneously. And drinking water in Michigan is like... Problem 1003 compared with illegal immigration, which is Problem #1. You're a great singer with a powerful voice, but you're a little out of touch with working man issues. Do you think we don't pay for it when people get "free" health care? Its free for them, not free for U.S. If you ride in a limo, don't talk politics.
I for one, have all but become furious with all these people in showbusiness, trying to force us, and feed us their political opinions the way they do. They come off as though we should follow them, do as they do, think as they do and feel as they do. It's okay for them to have an opinion, but put it in your song's. I won't listen to them preach to me about it. I understand everybody has a microphone, and their own television shows nowadays, and we all have a way to voice our views, but the hollyweirdos have an unfair advantage over the minds of people, in how they can influence a mind, especially when it's a young mind in a current state of development. Young kids look up to these people, and put them on pedestals, because of trend's, and popularity. It's not fair, and they should be given the chance to think for themselves, not be influenced by some famous pop star that they idolize.
@@ledzeppelinfan1001most people don’t want to hear political garbage from politicians and talking heads on TV let alone musicians. We come for the music to forget about political crap. Next thing you know Biden will be playing guitar on TV😂
Well...Jay should should stick to music....Flint Michigan' s water problem was due to switching their water source in an attempt to save money in 2014 while Obama still had two years left his second term. However in Obama's defense, this was a State and local issue falling completly on the shoulders of Michigan's Governor and the local elected officials of Flint. For Jay to make a statement implying that the Trump administration was too busy " spending money building a wall on our southern border when Michigan residents didn't have proper drinking water is a perfect example why musician's and actors should stick to their areas of expertise or at least get their facts together before spewing stupid shit in interviews....oh well.....Jay.....I hope you are proud of the current administration and have a strong Haitian fan base....sincerely....former Rival Sons fan. P.S....maybe the Taliban can help out Flint with their water issue....hell they have BILLIONS of our tax payers equipment at their disposal surely they can concoct a solution....
jay, tons of respect for you as a musician, however dont alienate half your fan base with your opinion... yes you have a platform, an unfair platform that most people dont have access too (you dont know my political opinions) people are drawn to you and rival sons for your music, including me, not your political opinions weather i agree or disagree with you.... to quote Gene Simmons (not that everything that comes out of his mouth should be quoted) .... "if your a dancer...dance, if your a singer....sing, if your an actor...act, no one is interested in your political opinions"
@@jeffdaniels1001 the fuck does a dude who literally forced his way to killing millions, and an American initiating his rights have to do anything with each other? Dumb fuck.
All you have to do is change the pronouns and then the wool pulled over ones eyes will see. Say for instance that in two generations Mexico's majority would be either El Salvadorians(which they hate) or even say Caucasian and then ask a Mexican rocker if their President wanting to build a wall made him a Racist/Bad Man, And you would have the very same people who call Orange Man Bad for doing it, all of a sudden agreeing 100%, This is a very easy exercise to see if you are brain washed and how bad it is, It's also the easy way to judge Equality, All you do is change the Pronoun(You know Pronouns, Something that if you don't use the correct one in some western places, you can be fined or arrested for not doing) I agree that Rock n Roll has in part been about rebelling, but echoing what the Mainstream Media and a large part of the politicians tell you to believe is not that, quite the opposite in fact.
bottom line i go to concerts to escape politics. there are stages for politics and the music stage isn't it. please don't ruin a good time with politics. the world is messed up and we are trying to forget about it with some music.
Huge fan and he should do what he does best, sing. Leave politics completely out of it. It isn’t about losing money, it’s about letting down your fans by giving your opinion on things that while you have a right to your opinion it certainly isn’t going to match a lot of others. Why offend anyone? It leaves a bad taste and will make people feel disrespected. I don’t care what your views are and I don’t want to hear them, just bring the music.

WOW! I CHECKED OUT THE OTHER COMMENTS?AND I SEE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE FEEL LIKE I DO! I LOVE LISTENING TO THIS AWESOME BAND AND WON'T LET HIS POLITICAL VIEWS GET IN THE WAY OF SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC OUT THERE TODAY. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT!🤘🇺🇸
Yeah Jay, you're a great singer, but the fact that you don't know that Flint was a self-inflicted wound on a local level of gov't shows that you should really stay out of politics.
Embarassing when you dont know the facts enough to talk about your chosen subject on your political soapbox i love your music i just hope you dont keep stepping over that boundary to be political
Musicians can be political if that is their passion but most are just ignorant clones who have not even bothered to research the subject areas they speak about. and come on everyone could not have exactly the same opinion. if they did their music the same way they did their politics they would be out of business. basically, he just repeated the same exact sound bites that everyone does. he should have been honest and said I really have not given the subject much thought and I really do not know or really care
I love ya but im gonna massively disagree with ya jay on our musicians speaking up about politics... i dont want to hear 1 thing about politics at a show.. thats not what i payed my hard working money to hear, n i dont want to hear possibly a favorite musician of mine come out and say political shit i dont agree with at all! Bc then i might now not like them or want to support them bc i dont agree with what i might find very offensive ideas or opinions. Does anyone want their porn and their religion mixed together? NO... n i dont want my music mix with political views either PERIOD. Dont do it. I go to have a good time and get my mind off of shit, no to have it brought up on my dime... sorry i dont like it. Thats a very fast way to lose fans! Sorry... political issues are just that sensitive.
I haven’t been this into a band like I am in love with the Rival Sons since Mr. Big back in the old days. I love their songs and every pay day I try to buy another song from iTunes or buy off the remaining songs to complete the album. I will always see them when they get close and now that I got my passport plan to go see them in Europe in 2020. I wish he wouldn’t trash Trump. The problem in the USA is liberalism and the attack on Trump. Jay doesn’t know shit about that but I still love him.
No, that problem with todays politics is, in my opinion, a lot of things. Trump has done, in my opinion again, more harm then good. hes divided a country, seemingly done corrupt things that HAVE been proven, and overall just lies a lot. now, if it comes out all of those lies happen to be actually accurate, I will rescind my comment, like an adult lol. LMAOOOOOO NEVERMIND, FUCK TRUMP.
I just watched this video for the first time . Sorry but , I hope you think differently now about Trump, with what Biden has done to this country. I am sooo disappointed in you for even going there. I WAS a big fan but not now.
First and foremost I have seen this band and met its members numerous times starting as far back as 2010. Second a musician's music is their art and therefore is put out there for the listeners interpretation. No artist tells their viewer, or listener in this case what to see and hear. That's part of the beauty of art.Third no one should preach politics to anyone. It creates alienation, segregation and division to the individual on the receiving end who may not have the same beliefs or views. Performers need to get out and perform. Give the world their art. That is what they are paid for. People don't come to be preached to about the performers "personal" beliefs. Leave the politics aside and to yourself and just play the music.
The depths to Jay’s answers reminds me he is exactly who we think he is.
High Five Jay
This interview is really great. She asks some great questions and his answers are so thoughtful and genuine. Bravo.

@@jeffdaniels1001 shut the fuck up, I hate people like you who insist on censoring people.
I’m a right leaning guy and I don’t think he said anything terribly controversial. Opinions vary on the efficacy or merit of building a wall. One could definitely argue we have bigger problems in the US regardless of the consensus on what the solutions are to those problems.
Slash or Jimi Hendrix? Lol his reaction was hilarious.
The reason you shouldn't talk politics is because politics isn't your strong suit. Obviously, drinking water and walls can be addressed simultaneously. And drinking water in Michigan is like... Problem 1003 compared with illegal immigration, which is Problem #1. You're a great singer with a powerful voice, but you're a little out of touch with working man issues. Do you think we don't pay for it when people get "free" health care? Its free for them, not free for U.S. If you ride in a limo, don't talk politics.
he should be allowed to speak politics, as hes an American. Dumbass.
I for one, have all but become furious with all these people in showbusiness, trying to force us, and feed us their political opinions the way they do. They come off as though we should follow them, do as they do, think as they do and feel as they do. It's okay for them to have an opinion, but put it in your song's. I won't listen to them preach to me about it. I understand everybody has a microphone, and their own television shows nowadays, and we all have a way to voice our views, but the hollyweirdos have an unfair advantage over the minds of people, in how they can influence a mind, especially when it's a young mind in a current state of development. Young kids look up to these people, and put them on pedestals, because of trend's, and popularity. It's not fair, and they should be given the chance to think for themselves, not be influenced by some famous pop star that they idolize.
Literally no ones trying to influence you.
@@ledzeppelinfan1001most people don’t want to hear political garbage from politicians and talking heads on TV let alone musicians. We come for the music to forget about political crap. Next thing you know Biden will be playing guitar on TV😂
@@flyingburritobro68Like all republicans, you're just making shit up lmao
Well...Jay should should stick to music....Flint Michigan' s water problem was due to switching their water source in an attempt to save money in 2014 while Obama still had two years left his second term. However in Obama's defense, this was a State and local issue falling completly on the shoulders of Michigan's Governor and the local elected officials of Flint. For Jay to make a statement implying that the Trump administration was too busy " spending money building a wall on our southern border when Michigan residents didn't have proper drinking water is a perfect example why musician's and actors should stick to their areas of expertise or at least get their facts together before spewing stupid shit in interviews....oh well.....Jay.....I hope you are proud of the current administration and have a strong Haitian fan base....sincerely....former Rival Sons fan. P.S....maybe the Taliban can help out Flint with their water issue....hell they have BILLIONS of our tax payers equipment at their disposal surely they can concoct a solution....
jay, tons of respect for you as a musician, however dont alienate half your fan base with your opinion... yes you have a platform, an unfair platform that most people dont have access too (you dont know my political opinions) people are drawn to you and rival sons for your music, including me, not your political opinions weather i agree or disagree with you.... to quote Gene Simmons (not that everything that comes out of his mouth should be quoted) .... "if your a dancer...dance, if your a singer....sing, if your an actor...act, no one is interested in your political opinions"
Shut the fuck up. Hes allowed to speak his mind
yea, so was hitler jackass...........does mommy know you are on her computer again?
@@jeffdaniels1001 the fuck does a dude who literally forced his way to killing millions, and an American initiating his rights have to do anything with each other? Dumb fuck.
All you have to do is change the pronouns and then the wool pulled over ones eyes will see. Say for instance that in two generations Mexico's majority would be either El Salvadorians(which they hate) or even say Caucasian and then ask a Mexican rocker if their President wanting to build a wall made him a Racist/Bad Man, And you would have the very same people who call Orange Man Bad for doing it, all of a sudden agreeing 100%, This is a very easy exercise to see if you are brain washed and how bad it is, It's also the easy way to judge Equality, All you do is change the Pronoun(You know Pronouns, Something that if you don't use the correct one in some western places, you can be fined or arrested for not doing)
I agree that Rock n Roll has in part been about rebelling, but echoing what the Mainstream Media and a large part of the politicians tell you to believe is not that, quite the opposite in fact.
he was asked a question do you really believe people do not have opinions?
bottom line i go to concerts to escape politics. there are stages for politics and the music stage isn't it. please don't ruin a good time with politics. the world is messed up and we are trying to forget about it with some music.
Literally the guys just stating his opinion and hes never said political opinions on stage. Stop making shit up.
Keep your mouth shut about politics and play the music.
This isn't a stage and he was asked about politics. Good thing he's no one's to order around.
Play a show with out security then.
Is that related to anything he says? No? then quit talking out your ass.
Huge fan and he should do what he does best, sing. Leave politics completely out of it. It isn’t about losing money, it’s about letting down your fans by giving your opinion on things that while you have a right to your opinion it certainly isn’t going to match a lot of others. Why offend anyone? It leaves a bad taste and will make people feel disrespected. I don’t care what your views are and I don’t want to hear them, just bring the music.
Shut the fuck up, hes an American and hes allowed to say what he wants.

WOW! I CHECKED OUT THE OTHER COMMENTS?AND I SEE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE FEEL LIKE I DO! I LOVE LISTENING TO THIS AWESOME BAND AND WON'T LET HIS POLITICAL VIEWS GET IN THE WAY OF SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC OUT THERE TODAY.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT!🤘🇺🇸
Well a majority of this statement is a lie lol
To bad she didn't stick to music in her interview .
Its an interview, fuck off.
ledzeppelinfan1001 Exactly what I was thinking every time I read someone’s comment and you sticking your two cents worth in there.
@@stevewalters6853 Because I'm defending a mans right to free speech and the interviewers ability to do her fucking job. dumb fuck.
Yeah Jay, you're a great singer, but the fact that you don't know that Flint was a self-inflicted wound on a local level of gov't shows that you should really stay out of politics.
Embarassing when you dont know the facts enough to talk about your chosen subject on your political soapbox i love your music i just hope you dont keep stepping over that boundary to be political
Oh let the fucking guy voice his opinions.
Musicians can be political if that is their passion but most are just ignorant clones who have not even bothered to research the subject areas they speak about. and come on everyone could not have exactly the same opinion. if they did their music the same way they did their politics they would be out of business. basically, he just repeated the same exact sound bites that everyone does. he should have been honest and said I really have not given the subject much thought and I really do not know or really care
But he was honest??
I love ya but im gonna massively disagree with ya jay on our musicians speaking up about politics... i dont want to hear 1 thing about politics at a show.. thats not what i payed my hard working money to hear, n i dont want to hear possibly a favorite musician of mine come out and say political shit i dont agree with at all! Bc then i might now not like them or want to support them bc i dont agree with what i might find very offensive ideas or opinions. Does anyone want their porn and their religion mixed together? NO... n i dont want my music mix with political views either PERIOD. Dont do it. I go to have a good time and get my mind off of shit, no to have it brought up on my dime... sorry i dont like it. Thats a very fast way to lose fans! Sorry... political issues are just that sensitive.
He probably doesnt want a boomer like you as a fan anyway. He was asked a question, he answered, hes an american. Cry about it.
I haven’t been this into a band like I am in love with the Rival Sons since Mr. Big back in the old days. I love their songs and every pay day I try to buy another song from iTunes or buy off the remaining songs to complete the album. I will always see them when they get close and now that I got my passport plan to go see them in Europe in 2020. I wish he wouldn’t trash Trump. The problem in the USA is liberalism and the attack on Trump. Jay doesn’t know shit about that but I still love him.
No, that problem with todays politics is, in my opinion, a lot of things. Trump has done, in my opinion again, more harm then good. hes divided a country, seemingly done corrupt things that HAVE been proven, and overall just lies a lot. now, if it comes out all of those lies happen to be actually accurate, I will rescind my comment, like an adult lol. LMAOOOOOO NEVERMIND, FUCK TRUMP.
I just watched this video for the first time . Sorry but , I hope you think differently now about Trump, with what Biden has done to this country. I am sooo disappointed in you for even going there. I WAS a big fan but not now.
Cry me and everyone with sense a river.
When people pay to hear music and see a show the last thing they want to hear about is your political opinions. Somehow musicians tend to forget that.
never saw them live? rget dont talk politics but instead he answered a question. and a lot bands musical lyrics have a pov like it or not..
First and foremost I have seen this band and met its members numerous times starting as far back as 2010. Second a musician's music is their art and therefore is put out there for the listeners interpretation. No artist tells their viewer, or listener in this case what to see and hear. That's part of the beauty of art.Third no one should preach politics to anyone. It creates alienation, segregation and division to the individual on the receiving end who may not have the same beliefs or views. Performers need to get out and perform. Give the world their art. That is what they are paid for. People don't come to be preached to about the performers "personal" beliefs. Leave the politics aside and to yourself and just play the music.
@@cavdragoon Man fuck off, let the guy speak his mind.
@@ledzeppelinfan1001 Great addition and insight to the discussion. You must be a big fan of Bono and his political rants. One last thing, blow me.
