I just checked out a bunch of Garth Brooks songs on youtube and I didn't like any of them, so I pressed the 'thumbs down' button for each

I guess I'm just not a country music fan. Though I do love bluegrass.

This. He's fake and he sucks at whatever genre of music he tries to exploit.

Screw him to begin with. Screw him with a cactus after today. What a pretentious asshole.

"Garth Brooks" was always a scam. (I can't stand country "music" to begin with, but his BS is worse because it's so fake.)

I caught an interview with him on the old Larry King radio show where he said he was an advertising/marketing major, and upon seeing some big-budget rock shows (KISS, Queen, etc) hit upon the idea of stealing the visuals of a rock concert, and applying that to country-music concerts (yet preserve the music as the same cookie-cutter focus-group-tested pandering crap.)

So, he invented this "Garth Brooks" persona and millions of rubes were rooked. They actually thought "Garth Brooks" was a good ol' boy, when nothing could be further from the truth. His "Chris Gaines" character was another effort in taking advantage of the corporate-backed "grunge" market, which fell flat as country-music fans rejected it because it sucked and wasn't country, while rock-music fans rejected it because it sucked and he's more fake than Milli Vanilli.

>The country-music fans I know personally were outraged at the "Chris Gaines" money-grab, where I was just amused because I already knew he was a scammer in a cowboy costume.
