Tim McGraw Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

I too, am not a fan but after hearing my own singing and seeing how much he's made, I guess he doesn't need my opinion.

Steve Stallings · Post by **Steve Stallings** » 5 Nov 2003 12:11 pm

I've liked several things Tim did... I especially liked the horseriding debacle

I guess I'm just a sucker for cheesy ballads but I still like "Don't take the Girl".

I also saw where someone had a problem with Clay Walker. Clay is a bonafide cowboy and Texas hero. He is a huge star in Texas right up there with George. He also is a fan of Texas swing. He has a working cattle ranch outside of Brenham, Tx. More importantly, Clay is my 16 y/o sons fishing buddy. He is about as down to earth and normal as they come. When not in his "stage persona" he has no use for any of the trappings of stardom, dresses like your average redneck fishing buddy and goes completely unrecognizable among the general public. He would much rather talk fishing or cattle than music.

I personally don't care for aobut 99.9% of what Quck Draw McGraw puts out, and I'd venture to say a good bit of it is NOT country... (although, the live version of his 'new' song runs into a version of David Allen Coe's ''the ride'', which is fine with me), however, I have to wonder how much of what he does (or any of the big stars today) is what he chooses, or what the record companies SAY he has to do.... and I do respect and in fact admire the fact that he recorded his last album using his touring band, and in his performances will give them the credit they deserve.

A lot of times the touring bands do NOT receive the credit they deserve... they can play all the studio ace's parts note for note, and do it well, and are great players as well, however, the economics of it is, guys like Brent Mason, Paul Franklin get the studio gigs because 1) they ARE good, 2) the can put down a part in one hour that the touring musician may take 4 hours to put down, 3) can give the producers the tone they want, and more importantly, 4) know how to deal with the producers etc much better.

As for Faith hill, I give her MUCH more respect than Shania Twain, if only for the fact that yes, both of their last albums WERE pop music, and not country, however, Faith came right out and said 'this is a pop CD', while Shania still tryied to convey that it is Country (which if you ask me, dig up some old Def Leppard from the '80s hair metal era, and listen to the songs... shania is recycling the old themes and CALLING it country, just because there is steel guitar and fiddle on the recording).. at least Faith is honest about what she is doing....

In my opinion last night on the CMA's Tim did sing really good.
He does have my respect.

As Shania being mentioned here. She deserves much respect. I'm shocked she wasn't nominated for best album or female vocalist of the year.

Is there not a distinction between someone being a good person and someone being a good musician? I did not start this thread to attack the personality of the guy, I was just dumbfounded at how unbelievably bad his new song is and how poorly he performed it at the radio city awards or whatever that was called. When I say Tim McGraw sucks that means I think that the music released under his name contains so really horrible stuff. And him being a down to earth bald guy doesnt make him a good musician, just as being a great musician doesnt make you a "good guy".

Jesse Pearson · Post by **Jesse Pearson** » 10 Nov 2003 8:08 am

I know a few gals who think Tim is the bomb. Tim is a good looking front man who also happens to be a star. I don't like all his stuff, but he does have some good country songs that are cool club songs. Bald is part of growing older, big deal? I don't know any stars who never ended up putting out some lame songs at one time or another, but Tim can sing and he's done with puberty that's for sure. Wantabe Child stars who are going through those changes of growing up shouldn't ought to be puttin down Tim's singing when their own voice is going through them changes and as such, can't sing for dog right now? Being Dolly Parton won't get you laid boy? Tim is a good role model for ya, and shave your head, it's in style.

Jesse,
I've never thought he was the bomb.

Maybe if Tim magraw came upon the country music scene 30 years ago he might have had a hard time doing the music he does now.Reverse that, maybe if Hank Williams came on the scene now he might have a hard time doing the music he did then.90% of it now is promotion and it is working.Good salesmen have always been able to sell ice to Eskimos. Country music down through the years has had a lot of distinctive voices that fit the music they sang.Good songs sold the artist.(as Bill Anderson) If you go back and play the originals you will find their voices were not what you would call great but the music fit the era and people could sing the styles and relate to the artist...It was easier to get up close and personal. People who flock to see and hear Tim Magraw do the same it's his era. I don't have any Tim Magraw collection I may not be a fan however I don't condemn his successes However there is a lot of good music out there.Isn't music the one thing we are all about? We changed a lot of things too,When I first started I was a Hillbilly singer,then It was Country and Western,and finally I got stuck on Country which lasted 40 good years Oh yes I have light growth of cranium residue also. I salute all my fellow veterans on this Veterans day.

Todays country it all sucks, cant tell any of them apart they all sound alike. id rather listen to hard rock then todays country, thats why i have over 1800 classic country songs stored right here on my computer

McGraws lack of hair doesn't bother me, nor does his lack of talent. What does bother me is the lack of taste of the people who buy his CDs and go to is performances.

Started with no talent---still have most of it.

Tim won best country vocalist for the 6th time on the AMA. Tim and Faith were both winners last night. Good going Tim, the record buying public were the ones that voted.

kyle reid · Post by **kyle reid** » 17 Nov 2003 11:01 am

Unfortunatly, the record buying public is the problem.

If Tim McGraw sucks in the forest and noone is there to hear him, does he really suck?

I think someone needs to put this thread out of its misery. Lock it up and let it fade on down the line.
