Larry Gatlin: "I'll be Zell's second"

[Bake]

Gatlin to dissenter in the crowd: "When you get to be a big star and they want to interview you ... until then, shut up!"

Uh, Gatlin hasn't been a big star for 20 years. In fact, Gatlin was NEVER a headliner ... he opened for country acts like Alabama back in the 70's or 80's. What a prick. He used to be able to sing.

1. BIG star? Ha ha ha ha

[Ron Green]

2. His latest gig around here was at the Lincoln County (Oregon) fair...

I guess he was a headliner, but I'm not sure. I mean, a local magician got more ink.

[oasis]

3. Drunken ass hasbeen. He needs to jumpstart his career that's why he's

in NY, kissing Repub ass.

4. When my vet was pro..he wouldn't play music with the Boy !

Gatlin asked him to play lead and My vet said, No I don't like you. Besides, why should I play for you when I'm playing for Marty Robbins? robbins is a class act, you're just a drunk! Bwwwwwwwwwwaa !

[Bake]

6. Marty Robbins was indeed a class act!

Good for your Vet to tell Gatlin to take a hike!

Tell me, please, did your Vet play with Marty on the classics like El Paso??????? If so, I know who Vet is! Some fine fine fine guitar work on that one!

11. No he didn't. when he came back from Nam he played

with a Front band and did some studio work and toured with The Wally Fowler Show. And the Oak Ridge Boys. Wally was a crook but Wally and Willie did some good work together.

[vetwife]

12. I hate to brag ..but Vet is awesome or was before Agent orange

and PTSD. He fingerstyle picks like Chet did. And can play anything ! did some work with Phil Driskell. Produced some with some pretty big folks and played all over till things went bad for him. HE has a guitar in the Country Music Halof Fame. I am proud of him.



this is my vet backstage at the Grand Ole Opry.....

[Jo March]

22. You should be proud of him!

That is a neat story to read.

[Ron Green]

18. Grady Martin did the great guitar work on "El Paso."

[oasis]

10. Marty Robbins was as smooth as silk. (eom)

[roguevalley]

14. Marty Robbins is so missed in our house.

5. Who the hell is Larry Gatlin?

I'm 33, never heard of him.

[vetwife]

7. You're lucky..A jerk who is one of the Gatlin Brothers Country Crap

A has been wantabe.....A drunk...a womanizer..and last but not least....a rededicated Christian. He's arrogant and from Texas. Need I say more? My apologies to smart Texans. But the dumb ones are like my Georgia joke folks ..CRAZEEEEEEEEEE !

[Lex]

8. Washed up, has been, ignorant ass, mediocre country singer

who hasn't ever had a big hit, and who now plays the state fair circuit apparently.

[Bluebear]

9. See him at the Norsk Hostfest - All Seasons Arena; Minot, ND

BIG upcoming engagement for the BIG star.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

13. Well then what about the liberal stars who speak out?

KKKountry has run it's sad path.

[EST]

15. One is not required to be emotionally mature

to have opinions, political or otherwise.

[zulchzulu]

16. Gatlin couldn't get a gig at freakin' Branson with Yackoff Smirnoff

The guy is a hat act... even Travis Tritt could kick his too-tight ironed-jeans ass.

[mrbill]

20. larry's got a gig in branson.........

In addition to two shows in Minot, ND, Larry the star and his brothers Daryl and Daryl are booked at the Welk Resort Theatre in Branson from September - December. Looks like three weeks on, one week off.

At one time the Gatlin Brothers were the Park Cities/Dallas "society band". They were the big stars at the "cattleman's ball". Everyone pretended to kiss their asses.

They got a lot of mileage out of two or three "hits" from the early eighties. Guess they ran out of "all the gold in california".

When Larry is not preforming he likes to appear on the 700 club with brother Pat.

[Democat]

17. Is he saying the celebrities have more right to an opinion than others?

Isn't that the opposite of a previous right wing talking point?

Arnold and Reagan excluded from all right wing talking points, of course.

[jmowreader]

19. It's "liberal celebrities" who should just shut up and sing

Springsteen should just shut up and sing.

Charlie Daniels has freedom of speech, you're a traitor if you complain.

Janeane Garofalo should just shut up and act.

Bruce Willis is a proud American and you're a traitor if you complain.

Sheryl Crow should just shut up and sing.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a proud example for all immigrants and you support Osama if you say otherwise.

[saracat]

21. Who wanted to interview him? Zell was a bigger star!
