I met Mr. Brad Paisley at a ranch near the village of Comstock, Nebraska. I remember seeing him after the concert and I asked him to pray for the ranch owners and the business and he said, "I'm right there with you brother.". Its great to hear Brad affectionately say he owns a farm.

Recap by Tammy AI
Neither do I, but there's a video of him and other top level guitar heroes playing the 'Game of Thrones' theme here on RU-vid and he's a great, great guitarist. His solos had the others impressed.
Look up some of his “instrumental” tracks. Brad paisley is known as in the guitar community as one of if not the best guitarist of all time. He can play any genre and uses jazz constantly
That’s how his music is as well. I’m not big on country but I’ve adored him since the first time I heard him. Saw him twice and both times he put on a great show. That says a lot considering I’m normally more of a metal girl.
I grew up with guys like Brad in Ohio, and it's the best. I can relate to the humor, demeanor, personality and outlook on life. Southern/Midwestern people are the best. After 42 years, I'm still convinced of it.
Hilarious! Enjoyed spending time with Brad Paisley and Bill. Such good chemistry, flow and great vibes. Brad is an outstanding person as well as an entertainer.
Lucky for me, I got to meet Brad right when he got signed. My friend was on the same label and they brought him to dinner where I was there server (that's what unsigned artists do, wait tables). He was fresh into town. Kind and lovely! Then, I have another friend who wrote a song that Brad wanted to use, and he changed a few lines so it became a co-write. Brad is a stand-up human! And, when Edward Van Halen passed ❤🤍🤎🎸👑, he honored him in his show, and that is difficult to do guitar-wise, but Brad is an AMAZING guitar player, and it seems as though he kept HFT alive to this day! It is so refreshing to see him try and bridge the gap between the right and left (that's what he is doing in case you didn't notice). Thanks Brad!! Rock On lil brother! 🎸
You should see him shred on guitar... watch the "Game of Thrones" video with him, where he plays with Tom Morello, Nuno Betancourt, etc... the man is GOOD at guitar.
@@BostonMarcus He said a couple songs are country. That's a drop in the bucket compared to his entire catalog. I'd classify Brad as a neo-traditional country artist when he first started out, and then he moved more towards country-rock and pop. Like Bill Maher said, many modern day country artists have a similar trajectory.
I'm 44 mins in and just love the conversation about Miley's song flowers!!! This is awesome!! I agree with you both! I just wish Bill would give Metal music a chance. That's my favorite music!!!!! 🥰🥰
It comes off as a desperate need for validation, though. He's getting older and there's definitely some regret in his voice about never getting married or having kids, no matter how well he tries to hide it, and he's looking for people to tell him that it's ok.
I completely disagree, especially with the no kids thing. Bill has made it very clear he just doesn’t like kids, not everyone has this “ yearning “ to have a kid, I never did either.
I don't gravitate to country music but I do love certain songs performed by specific artists! Like who doesn't love Dolly ? Working Nine To Five, one of her best!
I also love listening to albums start to finish. Though for me it was in CD format. So much so, when I hear a song on the radio, after it ends, I start singing the next track on the album.
True - That Richard Dreyfus episode was BONKERS 😂And I’m a big fan - Love American Graffiti, Close Encounters, etc. & watch “Jaws” ever 4th of July. He’s a National Treasure imo.
One of the things I've enjoyed most about CR is when Bill discusses music with a knowledgeable guest. It's obviously a passion of his but one that doesn't get explored on Real Time.
thanks Bill and Brad. I always actually wondered these things about you two. My favorite BP album is "Play". "Kentucky Jelly", awe man that album is so timeless.
This was a great podcast and this coming from someone whose no where near a fan of Brad Paisley's music. Although, he as a person seems very insightful and more importantly.... relatable.
So happy to see Brad on club random. That is so funny about the steel guitar. I knew that was the instrument you were going to mention. Every time my husband hares a steel guitar he says “ what is that”😂😂😂
Bill's tore up from the floor up and its not totally my thing but you gotta love this....Freedom baby! Cool show, Brad is a an insane player and Maher is a heady (literally) comic. Wish there were more broadcasts like this.......
If if I ever get invited to Club Random to be interviewed by Bill, and I probably will, the first thing that I'm going to do is tell him that what I love most about his interviews is that he never interrupts and never speaks about things he doesn't know about. Finally, I will tell him what I'm most impressed about is that he never argues just to argue. Scholars have proven this "to be the sign of true genius".
Yes this is one of the best ones. You guys are such comrades on so many levels. This may be one of your best only because I have the flow and common interests and passions. Just wonderful thank you again Bill. And thank you Sammy you guys are awesome
They're talking about country musicians turned actors near the end... Dwight Yoakam was a hell of an actor. I think I only saw him in Sling Blade and Panic Room, but he had that talent.
Great one!. Actually, to make one point, George Harrison wrote most of his earlier songs (1963-=69) were all about Patti. Between He and Eric Clapton (they both married her) she is the most written about muse in history. Over 10 songs hit the charts about her.
@@monicabeaston4996 Brad told Bill that he never misses Real Time so apparently Brad is a big fan of Bill's so then it isn't too surprising that he did Club Random. A nice surprise, I agree.
I😢 complained about my lover sending me red roses, very expensive, from Sweden to Spain - I said it should have been a plant! Later we lived together for 18 years with terraces full of blooming pots, never forgot the roses though ❤
The problem with Maher as an interviewer, this venue,is he doesn't listen to his guests and constantly interrupts to make a joke. You don't learn much about the guest.
I’m sorry for my ancestors and I’m ready for us all to heal, but I don’t know how to make amends for something that I didn’t do and as I feel now. I would have fought against.
@@HH-gv8mx Jason Aldean might be catchy but it's in the vein of this latest generation of trashy pop country (also known as "bro country")... it's barely country, it's pop with some twang.
My dad Jaroslav Jakubovic plays sax on one trick pony . ❤ Also , bill I met you 11 years ago at that hotel in the marina in San Diego with that stage where rockstars perform and u did too. We crossed paths next to my room and I said bill ! U looked at me and I said “…. Uhhh… I love you”. And u said thank you and kept walking . Cheers .
@@monicabeaston4996 haha it is ! I wish I could be a guest on his show . I have so much to say and talk to him about in different angles . But I’m nobody . Besides large amounts of musical talent . I have nothing (;
The writer’s strike has been going on for a really long time now. How are these people paying their bills? They haven’t been working, so how are they eating? Or paying rent?
West Virginia joke...The toothbrush was actually invented in West Virginia. If it had been invented in any other state today it would be called a "Teeth brush." I know....
Another great episode! Here I am on Friday wishing I could laugh as you roast Trump, the GOP, and Dems about their latest BS. Us old school Liberals miss your funny ass!!!
Bill, i know you don’t read this , but this format of you shooting the s,,,,, is great, some of you political views suck hahah, but you one in a million, respect
