RIP Troy Gentry

Yes. Still so sad

The way he died was so heartbreaking. I truly felt so sad for his wife and kids and his partner in music.

May these 2 were so so awesome. Rest In Peace, Troy Gentry. Sure are missed. So much love and respect to Eddie Montgomery for going on.

Saw Alabama in concert yesterday with Eddie Montgomery as their opener. Almost 20 years since this first came out and the crowd still went nuts. RIP T-Roy!

[@grannyLynnsCreations]

So loved them, cried when Troy Gentry was killed in the helicopter crash. My favorites of the songs they sing.. My Town, Speed, and Where I come from. please give them a listen .. thank you

[@jackie_jrml]

Agreed. 😭👍🏼Love them. Love those songs!

[@josephsmith590]

Favorite of mine has always been some people change, but love all of those ones as well!!!

add 'Tattoos & Scars' to that list for me - and my guilty pleasure cause it's just so dang funny 'Titty's Beer'

That one hit me hard 😢 I lost my father suddenly and it brought up a lot of those memories. Great song and reaction 💖🦋

I LOVE that "Self esteem is such a shallow thing compared to self respect"!

That was very well put!

Troy Gentry - You are missed! Troy was a war veteran as well as an amazing musician. Eddie Montgomery never recovered after losing his friend. Their music is so important!

You know I'm sitting here tearing up right now because as a dad, I put a lot on my shoulder, thinking my kids deserve better than what I'm giving them. This song hit me different than any other time, but sometimes you need that reminder..... thank you, sebs

I turned 27 today and I’ve been spending a lot of this morning thinking about how little I have to be proud of, what a failure I find myself to be sometimes. So I needed this today, thanks Sebs

[@cinder1959]

Happy Birthday. Be true to yourself and find your own respect. Life is hard and difficult sometimes but it can be wonderful with just love, for yourself, for your family, for your friends and for God. Write down all of your blessings in life and what you have overcome and you will see how much you have really done.

[@MRC_2008]

Nobody cares. Work harder my friend.

[@lindarumsey3109]

Listening to you talking about your family; a home, safety, security, food on the table, a warm safe bed to lay down in at night...I'd say that's Something to be Proud of. And, really, you absolutely should be.

[@katmit69]

Love this song, love this generation of Country music. RIP T-Roy you are so missed! ❤

[@jodipatton238]

I loved everything Montgomery Gentry did. My favorite duo! It was a sad day when we lost Troy Gentry, the one playing guitar. He was my favorite.

[@rebekahcorder1365]

YES! This generation is "robbed of hardship" and as a result, rarely do they understand the actual cost of their comfortable lives. Someone, lots of someones, paid a heavy burden to create the lives and comfortable existences we have today. There's a quote that says " Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak man, and weak men create hard times' - G. Michael Hopf. It rings truer & truer every day.

[@MichaelWilson-ql8si]

Bless you rebeka! I'm an old guy now and it's plain to see, that freedom isn't free! All the best to you!

[@Gutslinger]

What hardships did y'all go through? I think there is hardships going on with our younger generation. People of the older generation are indoctrinating many of them into believing bad ideologies. It's hardships of the mind.

[@auntiethetical]

Sebs, this was really uplifting and relevant. It must be so difficult to navigate societal expectations as a young man these days, but this song and your comments are the absolute antithesis of “toxic masculinity.” Thank you!❤

[@maryannweitzel5636]

What I love about what modern-day country music is the life lessons we learn. Songs like these help build character and morals. RIP Troy you are missed.

[@ivanalaff5346]

Garth was the true extent of my country music experience. This is a great story set to wonderful music. Thank you and bless your heart for your thoughtful and heartfelt reactions.

Jump in the rabbit hole that is Montgomery gentry, you will not be disappointed

[@sheilasisk7550]

Wish you could have been there when my parents, uncles, & grandparents telling the tails of coming up in depression times, my daddy lied the day after Pearl Harbor, that he was18, instead of 17. The telling of so much history thst has been lost, because everyone’s got their head in these phones but not talking to the old folks. Such wonderful times.

[@KittCrescendo]

I love what you said about self respect v. self esteem. The reality is self respect usually begets self esteem in an organic, soul deep way that allows a person to be much more resilient even when they stumble. I’m currently reading a leadership book called The Obstacle is the Way about turning trials into triumphs and how the biggest difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is how they perceive life obstacles. It has a similar philosophy. Great song choice, and dead on introspection. Thanks!

[@midnyteblues]

I am so glad I got to meet them back when they were up and coming in the early 90’s in Knoxville. They both were so kind, funny, respectful, and loved goofing off with their fans. It a small venue too so only a few hundred people, meaning we got to spend more time with them. Less security and scrutiny back then too. Good old days. RIP Troy…

[@anthonykielman5469]

My dad raised me this exact way, he passed away a few years ago and this song gets me

🥰🥰🥰 One of my all-time favorite Montgomery Gentry songs! Beautiful reaction Sebs!!❤ 🙏Rest in sweet peace Troy Gentry... you are so missed.❤

[@ScottyScott70]

What a great video! As an aircraft mechanic with over 30 years xp, I will never understand why the pilot did not set that helicopter down immediately upon having problems. The beauty of helicopters is you can land literally anywhere. Maybe being in the presence of a celebrity caused him to disregard good judgement in not wanting to disappoint Troy or cause him to be late for the show etc. Either way, he will always be missed. Great singer and U.S Veteran. Thanks for the reaction Sebs.

[@allendixon7700]

Good music some good times brother I love it still love it

Saw them in concert a few years before Troy passed in the helicopter crash. They were awesome! RIP Troy.

[@mkay2925]

Wow. Such a classic. Thanks for bringing it back to me. Your reaction was very genuine and endearing. I especially appreciated the part where you stressed to “just do the thing!!!” - I’m constantly yelling at myself to just do the thing so it’s nice and particularly effective to hear it from someone else lol

[@EllaDeanPendragon]

[@katiem7850]

Hi Sebs….love your videos. Your reactions are so genuine and I love that you give props to all music genres. I’m in my mid 60’s and have lived a full life. Blessed in so many ways. Not a lot of money or possessions, but I’ve been married to my husband for 48 years. We have an amazing son that makes us proud everyday. 2 incredible grandchildren that fill our hearts completely. The love and wisdom we got from our parents and grandparents guide us everyday. We wouldn’t be who or what we are today without them. I’m so proud of all that they sacrificed so our lives would be rich and full….and not from money rich…but the rich history and love they blessed everyday of their lives. Keep up the great videos.😊

Man i've always loved these guys, RIP Troy Gentry, he unfortunately was killed in a Helicopter crash years ago

[@barrettappel9319]

Bro you’re seriously one of the most humble people I’ve ever seen. Keep pushing and don’t be so hard on yourself

[@tinaanderson6185]

I'm sure your family is happier having you there with them making less than having you away working or whatever.... making more. You can't make happy memories with your family if you aren't there with them! I know I was happier when my mom worked as a waitress for min. wage and home every night.. than when she got a job on the road being away for days sometimes weeks at a time. We weren't making memories .... she gave up that job and we were all much happier! Poorer yes but we ate, frugal but we got by ..... and made memories that will last forever........ that's something to be proud of! Hang in there Sebs........ you are on the right track! Love how much you love your family !!!

[@terryduncan31]

Getting confirmation from your dad is golden to a young man.

[@jeffreyburley4033]

Just a note, never, ever apologize for anything you believe or feel. There is only one judgment you will receive and that is when your last day comes. Be yourself, be proud to exist, and ignore the haters. Throughout this life, you have only one person to satisfy and that is yourself. And the simplest rule is to "do to others as you want to be done to yourself". It covers every possible situation in life you encounter. Excellent review on this one.

Best dual that ever has been

[@nicolelylewis]

I still remember when I heard about Troy's death....so sad :( his memorial they had at the Grand Ol Opry was sad too. I remember they had I believe Dierks Bentley and Rascal Flatts singing "My Town" and then Eddie Montgomery came out and sang the rest of the song with them. Troy's wife and daughter were in the audience and cried/smiled.... You should definitely check out "Better Man" that Troy mostly sings; it was recorded before his death and I think came out after his death... Other good songs of theirs: Gone, One In Every Crowd, Back When I Knew It All, What Do You Think About That, Some People Change, She Don't Tell Me To, If You Ever Stop Loving Me, and Hell Yeah

[@jerrih2749]

Montgomery Gentry ( Eddie Montgomery, Troy Gentry) is one of the few duos in country music who you can recognize no matter which of them is singing. Most of the duos, if they switch the main singer, you might not recognize which duo is singing, i.e. Sugarland, and Brooks and Dunn. I think Troy's son sings with Eddie since Troy's death.

[@PaintingandExercise]

"Speed" is a great song of theirs.

No father is gonna be disappointed if their child is happy, productive and taking care of others. It's ultimately our goal as men to be productive, protective and to provide for those we take as our own. I don't need any of my adopted kids to win the Nobel Prize or have millions in the bank to be proud. I want them to feel happy and fulfilled and able to look at themselves in the mirror and like what they see.
