d halfnote Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've only watched the first couple minutes so far (time be's money, man!) but you could tell from his eyes & the pauses in his statements that he's either tripping (check the imploring look he casts to a bandmate @ the 1:30 mark)or concentrating on a prepared script of contrariness which he's turning the talk toward (I lean toward the latter b/c he gets more focused as things continue). This looks like a radio studio but was it TV ? The reason I ask is I wonder how many radio interviews are filmed w/a 3 or 4 camera set-up; is that SOP these days ? all such interviews are arranged by artists contacting the media &, unless someone knows otherwise, I'd presume that the filming was done by the BBT people. Was they whole thing some misfire or a deliberate stunt ? BTW, I think BBT should portray John Prine in the eventual film bio... d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02R96 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 He must have the same doctor Michale Jackson had. And I'm not joking either. He makes no sense through out the interview. Oh, and by the way, he's not as good as he thinks he is. He's right down there with Gary Busey... Dan "I hate what I've become, trying to escape who I am..."

J J Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 You have to watch the whole thing. He's pissed because the first thing the interviewer mentions about the band is Billy Bob's career and his affiliation with the band. I think Billy sees it to be totally irrelevant and starts responding irrelevantly to all of the questions asked to him. I think the DJ holds his ground quite well though. I think it was pretty dick of Billy Bob to act the way he did. It was funny though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarzan Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 what happened was BBT acting career was not supposed to be mentioned and you can see how he got all pissy as soon as the lead in segment broke his rule for the interview. man the tension was thick there. i noticed how lightly the others tread. awkward. this was going nowhere fast. Billy had his arse up and he wasn't about to cool down. i doubt drugs were the problem , what we have here is a grown man sulking. the remaining dates were cancelled.. CLICKERONI i just realized that Unknown Hinson is in BBT's band.

Gifthorse Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 What an ass. He is mad because he knows that the only reason he is even being talked about is because of his film career. He wishes it was his music, and wants the radio DJ to 'pretend'. My band never got on the radio in any interviews when our CD was done. The funny part is one of our good friends and former drummers was a damn PRODUCER of the biggest radio station in Detroit with a 600,000 person audience. We STILL didn't get anything out of it. Why? Well it is a closed loop of corporate marketing and media--just like everything else. Like the song lists at a radio station.. They are fixed. You HAVE to play a song from the list of like 300, cuz that is what is backed by the industry. There is this illusion out there that bands have a chance to 'get signed' or 'get noticed' But really thats not possible anymore, or highly improbable. BBT is a jackass, and to me is disrespectful of this idea. He is a total primadonna, and obviously thinks he is God's gift to planet Earth. He wants to live in world of make believe and pretend that he is being noticed for his music.

Gifthorse Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This is another Youtube of BBT. Actually he is pretty cool in this one. He doesn't act remotely rude or bizarre as in the other interview--or 'uninterview' he did in the other clip. http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarzan Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Billy Bob, guess what? there are people who have not heard of your band or that you are a "musician" now. if you are interviewed on radio you can count on your past achievements being listed so the listeners know who you are and what you are doing. the reality is your fame as an actor helped open some doors to a musical endeavor. get over it. you brought more attention to the fact you were/are an actor than the interviewer did. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd never gotten famous as an actor, he'd never gotten close enough to any of those guys to get backstage, let alone onstage. Maybe that's why he doesn't want to talk about his real ticket into that world, because it wasn't his playing... Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

RobRose Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Of course, the funniest thing here is that in BBT's appearance contract the band is to be listed on all signage and posters as "Billy Bob Thornton with special guests, The Boxmasters". (I saw this on the contract riders section of the Smoking Gun.) I find it hilarious that he pulls this, "I'm just part of a band, treat me like that" act, and in all official interactions he's playing on name recognition from his acting career and demanding the association.

Larryz Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Wish I hadn't watched it...Billy bob just wasn't cool no matter what the good natured interviewer tried to do to get Billy bob to talk rationally, he just could not get through the fogged out mind...I mean would you ask Tom Petty that question? Went and watched Kevin Bacon's band at a local casino and yes he's a great entertainer and a good singer and has a lot of fun on a local stage with his band (who are alos pretty hot musicains) and he's like 5 times the actor Billy bob is...would have loved to see the same interview with Kevin for comparison...

02R96 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 That reminds me, I remember a benefit concert WSL in Chicago was sponsoring for our troupes family's overseas, and Gary Senice and the Lt. Dan Band headlined. The did an interview with him and he sounded like one cool dude who truly believed in what he was doing, with no ego involved. Unlike Billy Butt Thorazine who thinks he's the next John Bonham or something... Dan "I hate what I've become, trying to escape who I am..."
