Zac Brown Band Enter Sandman Alpharetta, GA 5/13/17

As a hard rock/metal dude from way back, I gotta hand it to some of these country guys like ZBB and Rascal Flatts. They know how to rock and rock pretty well. It's called musicianship.

I love bands (of any type) occasionally doing something "outside their genre". Good music is good music, and the fans clearly loved it.

[@IronReece13]

Saw Kenny Chesney's band do a Heart song (don't remember which) with his bassist singing, she was good

[@dandwyer5491]

I’m convinced that ZBB can do damn near anything

[@timmacsweet131]

ZBB is really a rock band that was forced into the “Nashville System”. That’s why literally 40% of their live show is covers. If you listen to their covers you can see what they’d actually like to be playing.

[@jacobnolan8929]

ZBB does a lot "outside" the country genre and they kill it. This is a talented band.

Felt like I saw another world when they played 'Back In Black'(AC/DC), 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'(Nirvana). From Mozart to Metallica and ZBB, they have given me countless precious moments.

[@ricknees1699]

All of the misdirected hostility in this thread is ridiculous. It’s safe to say that most of you are not musicians...cause everyone knows that musicians pay their dues by playing covers. You play songs that appeal to both you and the audience and slowly start to find your own voice. This performance isn’t a faithful rendition of the originals...it isn’t meant to be...no more than Hetfield doing Waylon’s Don’t you Think was meant to be a carbon copy. It’s done for fun, for Pete’s sake! I was actually pretty impressed by this myself. I’ve always like ZBB, but seeing them stretch and show some of their influence has made me appreciate them a bit more!

I went to this country music concert or festival back i n 2010 with my wife and daughter. I started raising up and down on my toes rapidly because I'd just gotten diagnosed with vascular disease and and my feet had swelled up and fell asleep. The singer stopped and accused me of assaulting my own daughter and I was grabbed up by this big fucking security and tossed over the rail and taken to the parking lot. I guess she must have thought I was dry humping a teenage girl from the angle, but we were just squished together on the floor. It was such a shame that I didn't make it to see Taylor Swift give one of her last true country music performaces...not really. I know someone has it up on KZbin probably, or Watchmojo has probably made a show out of it.

[@barrymannefeld6583]

You know, what is missed is its all country and blues. If there was a miss, it was the Nashville sound, which put handcuffs on the musicians. I used to think the rockers and the country artists would have a shootout, if ever in the same room. Instead, they were hanging out with each other. Most of the original rock and roll guys ended up country, because that was what they were. The next wave trended that way as well. Look at Brown and imagine him on a country stage 40 years ago.
