WAYLON JENNINGS - CMT INSIDE FAME (2001 Edit)

[@angiejones3733]

It's 2024, 22 years since he's been gone, people are still listening to his music, watching videos about him, interested in details of his life and talking about his contributions to the world of music. I'd say those are some pretty legendary achievements. I'm sure that would be something that would make him proud. Imagine being gifted with that sort of talent. What a great life he lived doing what he was born to do. ❤=w=❤

[@HellbillyHalloween]

I’m young and a part of gen z and Waylon is one of my favorite artists, I loved how rebellious he was and hate how all the artists of my time are system conformists

[@DuWayneJamesSnider]

"His music will be played until the end of time." --- Hank Williams Jr.

[@miket.220]

I got to see Waylon perform at Lollapalooza '95. He was sandwiched between the bands Rancid and The Ramones, playing for a crowd of alt-rock twenty-somethings. Waylon's first song went ok with the crowd, then he did "Always Been Crazy", crowd warmed up a little more. Then he did "Good Ol' Boys", and the crowd went bananas. Crowdsurfing, you name it. Waylon said to the crowd at the end of his set, "I hope ya'll enjoyed yourselves, I don't know if ya'll know what to make of me, but I thank you for listening just the same." What a legend.

[@DavidCase101]

I lost a lot of respect for Metallica when I learned they were the sole reason free access music went away.... I gained more than I had before when I learned they were the sole reason Waylon was at Lollapalooza 95.

[@shanewoods1980]

If you wanted an outlaw, you got it with Waylon. If you wanted TRUE country songwriting, you got it with Waylon. If you wanted a very talented singer and entertainer, you got it with Waylon. How many more boxes need to be checked? He’s the TRUE American country music outlaw that sang about what he knew and I’ll forever be grateful for this gentleman. Hats off to you hoss

[@joantessierowens7624]

He has always been the greatest he still is. I'm glad I got to see him in concert . I loved his music then and still love it today .

[@MsMeandnikki]

My daddy raised me on Waylon and to this day 43 years later I still listen to Waylon and think of my daddy. RIP daddy hope you up there listening to Waylon.

[@davidterry919]

Waylon was the original outlaw artist. His style was pure , raw, and had never been heard or seen in country music. He paved the way for today's country and rock artists. A true rock star and hell raiser . Thank you Mr. Jennings for the entertainment and hard working ways.

[@rexoates4484]

Everyone in America who gets to record their music and have control over the music owes a big thank you. If there isn’t a street named for him in Nashville, there ought to be. Just like in Littlefield.

[@SinCitySharksfan702]

I wish I was able to see him alive! I was born in 1998 and man he sure helps me get through some deep and tough times

[@miket.220]

I got to see him at Lolapallooza '95. He had his son Shooter playing with him, who was 13 or 14 at the time. Waylon was older then, but he still sounded great and the alt-rock 20-somethings there liked him, gave him a great reception. Favorite song: "Good Ol Boys", crowd surfing in full effect. Dude was a legend.

At the time I posted this I had not started getting into restoring the audio aspect of the videos on my channel. I just posted them exactly as they were in my collection. However, in the past year I've been correcting audio levels. I sure wish that KZbin would allow us to upload a file to replace the original once we have posted it, but I don't see any way around just having to post it again when I correct the audio level. If I do that then I will put the new url in the description of this video.

If there is king of country music legend he the king of country music i love his voice and i still do nobody will ever have a voice like him Waylon could have sang rocknroll .and he was just as good as anyone who knows how to play guitar player he new how to play like the time Johnny cash needed a guitar player and some how Johnny cash told waylon you don't know who he could guitar player waylon said i know one Johnny cash said who he said me he said waylon i can't get you do that waylon would not be in the spot light but that didn't make anny different to him he played for Johnny cash said one thing he never for got that So there a friend waylon Jennings johnny cash and willie Nelson. See waylon told what was on his mind if nobody like it that was there problem he was a honest man and told the truth about him self .jessic was the person for him i think waylon would have died if it was not for her thay were ment for each other i listen to waylon Jennings pretty well every day and willie Nelson hank Williams jr merle haggard i guess i just one of the country boy that i always listen to theos bad ass country music legends of country music not the tractor rap pop garbage that on country radio station today. I dont give a dam if i hurt people feeling of what on country radio station today Nashville CMA don't know nothing about real country music to day just plain garbage and i really don't care who a country singer .whst i say about the pop music it not country music may 6 2021.by the way happy mother's day sunday.happy mother day to jessie colter Jennings enjoy your day.

I loved Waylon. I would go see him when he would come to the Bay Area. Almost got to shake his hand at a concert at the circle Star in San Carlos California. The closest I ever got to him. I still love Waylon. I put my little dog Sophie in the car and travel 200 miles and I got Waylon singing and playing to me. Alway love Waylon. One of my sons went to his grave and got a picture and sent it to me. Now That son can play like Waylon. But he is shy so I don’t get to here him much.

You know, I took Waylon's passing harder than Cash's. That kinda let me know how much his music meant to me growing up. I can hear a song like Amanda or Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys and be transported to a rodeo my dad would be roping at when I was just a short little fart. The sounds and smells all come back in an instant. That's powerful medicine.

You realize just how far ahead and how much BETTER (BY FAR) Waylon is than anything that’s come around since when you hear Trick Pony and Montgomery Gentry sing in this show. It’s like hearing cats dying versus anything Waylon has ever done, regardless of how F’d up on coke or pills. He’s just a dang legend. Timeless legend.

[@joshuacareins4002]

[@sulynn72]

Nashville milked these artists literally almost to death, to make money out of them. That's why so many of these guys had addiction problems. On the road constantly, away from their family, and tons of appearances in a short amount of time.

[@Bijou2013]

They played all of each other's hits. The biggest hit as a group was probably Highwayman which is a cool song about reincarnation that has 4 verses so they each take a verse. There aren't any songs written by all 4 of them but Kris and Willie along have written enough songs for a lifetime of concerts. Johnny has written 1500 songs and recorded about 600 of them.

It says that they were all quiet when Waylon gets up and walks out. Jerry or Chet asked where Waylon was going and Neil said,. "Waylon's mad. No telling what he might do. I guess it's over." And that's when RCA caved. Neil asked Waylon where he went. Waylon said I had to have a piss, and Neil said, "well, that was a 25,000$ piss! Lol. Now, my question to you is: who's telling the truth?
