FIRST TIME HEARING Riley Green - I Wish Grandpas Never Died (Live) THE WOLF HUNTERZ REACTIONS

[@jealousjelly1]

That song went double platinum -- two million records sold. No wonder his fans knew the lyrics.

[@stevefair3375]

What they play on the radio now is country pop. You nailed it.

[@HateTheGameTX]

This song was all over the radio. Overplayed actually. Great song but of course the radio has to ruin everything.

[@mcgrath16511]

I absolutely love this song.. brings back memories of my high school days, still best friends with the guy i met in first grade 63 years ago! i miss my grandpa who i lost in 1973,, and they say all dogs you had are waiting for you ... i have some damned awesome dogs to team up with again! just wish none of them ever had to end!

[@dauddysdream]

Riley Green got famous on KZbin. His fans got him there. ❤

[@justinchapman4971]

This is like the perfect country anthem. A lot of

[@justinchapman4971]

I love Riley Green he should be bigger than what he is

[@mdawg7049]

This is how every country concert is….a giant sing a long! It’s so much fun….I highly recommend….Riley, Morgan, Luke, Cody, Jason

[@ittybitty8924]

Have you heard of hunter Hayes? I know he’s not country anymore but he was my first and only concert and it was just like this…super intimate, and everyone was singing. These are the best concerts, make such powerful core memories.

[@mdawg7049]

@@ittybitty8924 yes I have! I always liked him.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

These younger guys that have been coming up the last few years, have brought a whole lot of fans over to country. And there re a ton of variations within the genre. No cookie cutter stuff. This was a fun performance, but you didn't really get to hear him sing. LOL They drowned the poor guy out. Country fans love to sing along. In fact, if you check out any performances that are at country award shows, you will also see all the artists singing along in the audience. They truly support one another & aren't too cool to admit they know all the words to each others songs.

[@DavidShield-l9o]

This is one of the best songs I've heard thank you

[@andrewalshouse2967]

I know country music isn’t necessarily your lane here guys but….. if you want a good one to pull at the strings check out chase rice and the song is “bench seat” only thing is you have to watch the official video for it. Makes you think as well as rips the heart right out

[@armywife1641]

If I remember correctly this was in Arkansas, the Birmingham thing is that it’s a reference to Tracy Lawrence’s “paint me a Birmingham”

[@heyohikes]

This was at the amphitheater in Phenix City Alabama. Right across the state line from Columbus Georgia on the banks of the Chattahoochee River

[@joshuawillis1144]

This is a reference to Alabama in general. Home state.

[@gavinc1539]

Yea but he’s also from Alabama too so that might be it too

[@pixster78396]

Never heard of him but love it and all the fans were amazing

[@joshuawalling12]

Riley green numbers on the cars is another great one

[@gavinc1539]

Jesus saves is another one that’s rlly sad

[@valeries2037]

He wrote this song for himself and wasn't going to record it, let alone perform it... he decided to sing it for an acoustic song.. and by the second chorus everybody was singing... so he kept playing it and the crowd just got more vocal each time... and he knew it was helping people other then just him.

[@JoshHorning]

I think its a bit of every genre that labels are messing things up. Labels are trying to appeal to EVERYONE! Just because someone with a "southern accent" does a song doesn't make it country. Tracy Chapman didn't write a country song. Its still not a country song. But since a sellout covered it theyre saying shes the first black woman to write a Number 1 country song.... No she didn't. She wrote her song which was amazing to everyone

[@Blake_Cook]

About the line where he says i wish country music was still played on country radio. Country music was played on 96.5 but some Christian company bought it and moved country music to a differnt station.

A honky-tonk is a back woods bar😊

[@tigertalkk]

We love riley duck man

[@joevoshalike7114]

A honky tonk is a country beer joint

[@ericburks1913]

Honkey tonk is a country bar

[@alitram5942]

Please, please, please! If you haven't listened to Garth Brooks, you might want to check his live performance videos. Great story teller country style. Songs like " The Thunder Rolls, "The Waltz" as well as "I Got Friends In Low Places" to name just a few. I know you will love his energy.

[@nightmareman9960]

4:05 yeah theres a kinda rift in country nowadays most of the chart topper are more of a hybrid either into country-pop or country-rap. He’s calling out the country singer that just talking about drinking and driveling truck want to go back to when country told a story and taught a lesson. He’s still pretty green but you’ll probably enjoy Elliot Greer he another new country artist that picking up some traction. I recommend “Elliot Greer - 33”!it’s one of the best he has out, the message is fairly similar with it being a song about lose “Lowdown drifters - alright” is another good one if you want more of that country sound. Basically about whatever you go through in life you will make it through it Or if you want some good ole country rock try “jackyl - the lumberjack” let’s just say they use a very unconventional tool as a music instrument, very fun song tho

[@dl8619]

Whers is this? Lol anywhere in the south

[@Tibbs81188]

People don’t/can’t realize how great this song is unless you have lived in the south. Being that I’m from the south I can tell you this is 100% country.

[@Keebee225]

Being southern means absolutely nothing in understanding how great this song is lmao

[@Creamscicle]

@@Keebee225true but the things mentioned in the song are more stereotypically southern

[@FullmetalC5]

I'm from back woods Louisiana, 100% accurate

[@guillermor9207]

I’m from California and this song hit me hard… you don’t have to be from the South to realize how much of a masterpiece this is. I grew up in a small countryside town in Central California, then I lived with my grandpa in his Mexico farms for a bit too, and it sounds like Riley is describing my hometowns here. Different people can relate to different parts of music, that’s the beauty of music.

[@clintnelson4182]

I grew up in Indiana, but was raised by my grandpa who is from the south….I can definitely relate.

[@justinchapman4971]

Mostly Alabama

[@teamrealtree0073]

The real country music is gone. It's still country just not like it use to be .

[@okiemikeoutdoors7833]

Yall are so removed from real life. Rewind and listen until you cry. Your welcome
