  • Eric Church recently shared a very candid account of how he handled Rascal Flatts firing him from their 2006 "Me & My Gang" Tour. Eric Church held nothing back when admitting that what he and his team did to Rascal Flatts infuriated them. Eric Church may have pulled off one of the biggest trolls in Country music history!

    He signed a contract. Made a commitment to open for the band, then changed his mind. At the time The Flatts were massive in the music industry. They've offered huge exposure to many opening acts who've gone on to big things. In addition, they donated $millions to Vanderbilt Medical and other charitable orgs and remain active in their community. You don't need to like the Flatts, but you do need to respect them.

      Vanderbilt Medical is more corrupt than the music industry is. Maybe they should've just donated instruments to needy kids or started their own (legitimate) charity.

    Major Eric Church fan BUT we all have rules to follow when we work for someone. It’s basic respect. If his salary had been affected by the extra fees, then maybe he would have been able to understand.

      That and the fact that, I don't know where the narrator gets his info from but this DID NOT work in Church's favor. He's got what? ONE real hit song, that's bloody pitiful. The guy can't sing for ish.

    If what Eric did doesn't capture the essence of "rock n' roll," than i don't know what does! 'Some serious Hank Williams and Waylon Jennings shit right there!
    I also understand the comments below that he was in the wrong...I agree with those comments, he was in the wrong and he deserved to get fired but oh well. Great he stood up for his beliefs and antagonized Rascall Flatts, and i'd say it all worked out well! Kudos Eric! Rascall flats could have very easily deducted the overage fines from his comp...a well thought out contract and a sharp R.Flatts manager could have handled that. But I'm glad Eric did what he did, LOVE his music and his spirit.

    I love Rascal Flatts and Eric Church. But thus far in my 42 years of life hold Eric's concert a few years ago as the worst show I've ever been to. The instruments were way too loud and you couldn't hear his voice. Worst 120 bucks spent in a long time

    • @radicalreactions1633
      @radicalreactions1633 Před rokem +1

      Not that anyone really wants to hear his voice since he can't sing. And clearly he hasn't learned because he doesn't listen, he thinks he's a God.

    Maybe if he took them glasses off he could see a clock better and leave the stage. No matter how big you are or how big you think you are rules are rules. Hank Jr, brooks and Dunn and Vince gill who are arguably bigger than rascal Flatts have all opened for em and respected their set times. They’ve been in the business long enough to know how things are. Church was a newbie who got thrown into one of the best selling tours at that time. Should’ve been enough for him. Most newer artists would’ve been over the moon about a opportunity like that

    • @radicalreactions1633

    I'm a fan of Eric but nobody takes the place of Rascal Flatts as a group or individually . Pretty sure people will remember the name Rascal Flatts 50 years from now, and their songs. I hope Eric Church realizes fame can be fleeting and eing kind and generous gets a person a lot further in life because I'd like to see him hanging around years to come.

    His nasty attitude caught up to him at CMA 2023! He got booed off stage because the crowd couldn’t stand his new music and were leaving while he was performing. So he pouted and ran back stage. Meanwhile Taylor Swift has a pennical award (only 4 given in music history)

  • @Kristine_202
    @Kristine_202 Před 10 měsíci

    To the people saying that Eric should have honored his contract...What you're missing is that he was BETTER than Rascal Flatts and the audience knew it. They didn't want him to stop playing. I saw it with my own two eyes. In fact, I barely knew who Eric was before the show, he had one song out, and I was a big Flatts fan. But after I left that concert, I started listening to Church non-stop and haven't listened to Rascal Flatts since. (Are they even still together? I honestly don't know.) IDC if he broke his contract, he was just giving the audience what they wanted. (They probably felt the same way when Taylor Swift took over for him. If Rascal Flatts didn't want this to happen, maybe don't book opening acts that put on a better show than you. 🤷‍♀)
