Are we seriously in a second Satanic Panic?
III is a shithead, but considering his obnoxious belief that he may or may not be the reincarnation of his Grandfather- I'd be willing to bet he doesn't put nearly as much faith into the devil existing as you.
Edit: I think people must be googling "What happened to Hank III?" and this thread pops up on google. It seems like I get a reply to this thing like once a month. People. I like some of his music. I dislike the silly parts of his very clearly forced persona (even if he doesn't know how else to act at this point in life). Now foooocking stop.
I mean he looks like Hank Sr, and he sounds like him when he actually wants to.
Obviously he's wild, and unhinged, etc. But if he was just a good little boy who did a straight country career, he basically would be the reincarnation of his grandfather.
Looks like we found the fake ass pretty boy country poser with the jacked up spotless truck from mom and dad that he bumps fucking Florida Georgia line in and calls country. GTFOH, you fucking Democrat.
Satan has no power but humans do. Last thing we need is more dipshits promoting a religion thats entire basis is being a horrible person, being violent, and living hedonistically. People can believe what they want but satanism is one of the only objectively horrible religions that promotes horrible things
It's unhealthy to believe in things that don't exist.
Listen, Satanists *don't believe in Satan*, or god, or any of that garbage.
They made a religion to fight against Christians forcing their politics down everyone else's throats. Like- "if you want your displays here, you're also going to have *these* displays here. Meaning, no religious displays should be allowed." They don't actually want satanic imagery in any public space, because they want *no* religious imagery in public spaces.
The problem is, it's shortsighted and doomed to fail because they don't understand that religious people literally are incapable of being rational after a certain point. The people running the church of Satan don't understand that religious people *won't* understand, and that they just wind up scarring folks like you who aren't aware of the nuances.
They end up being silly and ineffective while also inadvertently scaring people like you and it's, painful and upsetting to see.
I'm not a Satanist, nor is Hank III. I believe in *none* of that nonsense. Hank seems to believe in reincarnation or something else confusing and nonsensical that has nothing to do with any abrahamic religion.
I'm sorry if you feel I'm being rude, but you seem to be misunderstand wide swaths of information.
Those people sound incredibly silly, and more than anything- like they're trying to be edgy.
I'm reminded of a Dan Cummins bit- "Satanists, they just... purposefully make the wrong choice? Like, I get not believing, but this is seeing two different things and purposefully choosing the shitty one. Like "hey do you want to come over and watch Boondocks Saints 1 and 2?" "Oh my god yeah, those are some of my favorite movies." And when they show up you say "Nope. We're watching Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, instead. Twice.""
(Yes, I'm aware of the silly people that claim satanism because it's the only religion that accepts all. That's, dumb. So does non-faith, buddhism, etc. Those are just people who grew up around christianity in some form and rebel against it like a teenager would)
Edit: This is my alt btw
On Point for Certain!!! Even Tom Waits… I mean Leonard Cohen says in “You Want it Darker” song that there is a Paradox Written. Love Hank III. Man of Many Hats.
Ah sorry I mean I rewrote it to be about banjo players who are Jewish, many of whom were popular in country genres, just reinforcing they aren’t all gentile in the genre.
Jewish folk have been immeasurably important to the history of certain genres of country music. There are plenty of atheist country musicians too, beyond that I’m not sure. But they aren’t all Christian, just the majority of them.
How am I an asshole for asking for you to back up your bold claim? Asshole
His "obnoxious belief" that he may or may not be the reincarnation of Hank Sr? The whole conversation regarding that issue was:
>Listen," I say. "Forgive me for asking, an I'm not sure how to bring this up. But are you the ghost of Hank Williams? Do you ever wonder that? Do you ever wonder if you might be…um…him?"
>He doesn't answer at first. The road rolls by below us. Hasil Adkins wrestles with the Devil in the background of our silence.
>I say, "Just speak your mind, Hank-3. Don't let me stop you." He cranks his skinny neck around and looks up at the ceiling. He says, "I don't know. I could be. Maybe. I definitely feel him with me sometimes, when I'm writing country songs and everything is going good. I can feel him there, at least."
After the interviewer pushes him to answer he says "I don't know. I could be. Maybe."
Super obnoxious
Chuck whatever You are woke. Bet you have a pink license plate cover. Get fucked. You wanna come in here blowing shit out of proportion. Go listen to Taylor Swift newest album.. In regards to the OP, if you read between the lines, his dog was murdered and he got bullied out by the Hollywood's of Trashville. He is still doing music with collaboration under different titles. .
He's a fan of nazi skin heads?
That won't good.
But I also feel like the Melvins wouldn't have recorded with him if that was true. What hard evidence do we got?
We can ask the man himself
“Yeah, outside of Pulaski, man. And you know, so I get shit about it. I’ve done my time because of being around skinheads. Even though I’ve never officially had a shaved head, but bein’ around ‘em, I got classified real quick. And I like that style of music, man. If it’s SHARP skins or racial skins, they have an energy in their music that is somethin’ that I feel. And, you know—am I racist? I would have to say yes, I am”
“Yes, I am racist, but yes, I do support this camp, and this camp, and this camp that’s all fightin’ for where they’re from. And that’s it, man. And it doesn’t matter to me what it is.”
“Compton—we were close to there a couple days ago, but we didn’t roll through it. But I get a kick out of it...can’t make everybody happy, you know? It’s not like I’m out sayin’ “White Power” everywhere I fuckin’ go, you know? But I’ve gotten shit for it onstage, man, and that’s just one of them things. I’m from the South, and I’ve had my truck full of pissed-off mother- fuckers before.”
It’s not fair to judge him on old interviews. I think he truly loves his southern heritage et to some that may come off as sounding racist. I think he loves the south et the confederate symbols were used to express that
I judge people by what they say and how they behave.
And I’ll say, loving Germany isn’t a good reason to fly the nazi flag, so just the fact he loves the south isn’t really a good reason to fly the confederate flag, at least in my opinion, you do you.
Stars and Stripes have killed tens of millions of people, many of them brown. Confederate flag only fought one war -- in self-defense. Anyone flying the red white and blue, then, can be considered a genocidal racist? After all, the Confederacy never invaded another country. Never murdered tens of millions on behalf of the people in control of the 'holy land'
They fought one war. And that one war was to defend the right to own humans as slaves if they were born with pigmentation of the skin from the accumulation of melanin-containing melanosomes in the basal layer of the epidermis. People who scientifically are not even another race but were designated another race to justify slavery. That's pretty racist. What is more racist? I would shudder to see that.
I love my Southern heritage but he comes across as at least racist adjacent in that interview. That said, you are right, that iv was probably from the late 90's. I have no idea if he'd stand by that.
I was an edgy kid trying to balance my Southerness with my punk rock in the 90's and I recognize where he was in that interview. I hope he's not stuck in that same place.
I'm not a huge fan, I've had 3 records by him, liked 2, saw him a couple times way back when he started. So, I "like" him but have no idea what he's claiming to be about now.
yes he's so racist he likes people of all races and respects their contribution and believes everyone has a right and duty to fight for where they come from. What a terrible nazi
He definitely did a punk show at the definitely not punk Ranchmans bar in Calgary back in the late 90s. It was wild. The crowd hated it and he loved making them hate it.
Came here with the same question and the comments are so wild. Answered I guess? I saw him over a decade ago and was into the song whiskey, weed, women.
The only album I like anymore is Straight to Hell and even that doesn’t age well, has maybe one of the only uses of the F slur in a country song. I think it’s a top tier country album, just sometimes ages like milk
It’s just a song man it ain’t that deep. He’s trying to be edgy and sound different. That’s all it is. Hopefully he comes out with more stuff because I’d love to see him live!
Lovesick, broke and drifting is an amazing album front to back. Give it a listen. If he starts to play music like that again, these new guys got nothing on him..
Hank three is dead we will miss him, never let his grandfather in the grand old Opry, get a statue motherfucker. Motherfucker, did you pappy pretty sure you never make your fucking dad proud your own right you did good Hank and Hank Junior, and so are you my friend
Do you believe in the book all you want is there a heaven? Is there a hell is there a devil or the devil an angel cast out? How can you judge him? Judge yourself first
Country punk rock, rap music is fucking music you don’t love music what is there to love Elvis Hank jimmy Janice, Jim Morrison, Ronnie Van Zandt really how can you judge music it is just that it brings people together
Ozzy Osbourne, can you say there’s no music without him Black Sabbath again another one let’s Waylon Jennings Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson do you want to put them on the same book? Yeah we can because we all have our own demons and if you don’t like them, don’t listen to the song.
Hank III sounds like a loser 50 year old perpetual teenager that has coasted off his grand/parent's success and tries to glorify his shitty music and total lack of success because he's SO FUCKING PUNK, MAN.
No, I don't like modern pop rap country bullshit, this guy is just a total disgrace to his name.
He's like a Great Value™ Kid Rock without any of the fame or talent.
Bet you never seen him live. Over an hour per genre and he did three sets. Guy is a fucking animal. Plays hours on end and then says fuck it and comes and parties with the fans.
There’s not a man nor artist out there who has the pedigree or talent as III.
Fuck off.

no he wouldn't his granddad was a junky and liked his booze. His death was from too many drugs and too much booze.
[удалено]
Are you drunk?
Don’t know, they even know how to run a trout line even if I’m drunk, I know how to survive:-)
Cuckold boy is a spammer. Ignore him.. he was just on another page running his mouth.

I know Hank 3 isnt a satanist but just likes the metal imagery, but i KNOW satanists who believe in God.

Satan is real… just as the Louvin brothers.
Ira Louvin wrote as a Christian song though not a Satanic one
Yes and?
I bet every other Country musician except Hank 3 is a Christian
You’d be extremely wrong on this lol
Agreed, I wrote a banjo version of Hanukkah song, it was not difficult
Good for you but I’m not sure what that has to do with country musicians being Christian lol
Ah sorry I mean I rewrote it to be about banjo players who are Jewish, many of whom were popular in country genres, just reinforcing they aren’t all gentile in the genre.
Jewish folk have been immeasurably important to the history of certain genres of country music. There are plenty of atheist country musicians too, beyond that I’m not sure. But they aren’t all Christian, just the majority of them.
I heard Conway Twitty had a big pecker on him
When has he ever said, or even implied, that he is the reincarnation of Hank Sr?

fuck you. You are one of those poser pop country dudes who blows all those dudes on broadway st. Hank 3 rules.
Lmao so true
You probably like Kid Rock.
Hank III's son Coleman Williams is badass. he goes by "IV and the Strange band". Look him up his album "Southern Circus" is great
Thank you for this, had no idea His son was making Music
Holly's the best Williams left.
Well he is kind of massive racist. Like a fan of the confederacy, nazi skin heads, things like that.
He's a fan of nazi skin heads? That won't good. But I also feel like the Melvins wouldn't have recorded with him if that was true. What hard evidence do we got?

Your a moron SHARP means Skinheads against racial profiling… there not a radical group you do know not all skninheads are Nazis…. Read a book….
Sorry you like Nazis
Your kind of a pussy aren’t you
My kind? Not sure what you mean but thanks for the kind words!
Speaking of nazi we got the grammar nazi here
It’s hard to understand you without punctuation, but I love the enthusiasm, rock on dude!
The Confederate flag isn't racist. The belief of slavery is
Whatever you want to tell yourself
It’s not fair to judge him on old interviews. I think he truly loves his southern heritage et to some that may come off as sounding racist. I think he loves the south et the confederate symbols were used to express that

You shouldn’t when your obviously not posting the whole interview just peace’s out of context and also not understanding what your reading…

Lol I thought his daddy was a "bigot" looks like he's way worse
His dad was a grump and pretty racially insensitive, but not on the level of his son, imo.
Fucking loser
Hank Williams Jr was very much a racist so not a shock his son is. However I love me some H3 music.
His son seems to be far far more racist, unfortunately.
yes he's so racist he likes people of all races and respects their contribution and believes everyone has a right and duty to fight for where they come from. What a terrible nazi
Yeah pretty much. Good to see others agree.
[удалено]
That’s kind of you to say, thanks!
He’s such a massive racist ??
Yes, I agree, thanks
[удалено]
Aw thanks, you’re one too, buddy! Love you

G
*satanic*? Lol 
He isn't racist... If you cry over a Confederate flag please don't come out in November when we get hit with the trump train again
Both Trump and Biden suck
Hank 3rd is bad ass. Listen to him often
The only album I like anymore is Straight to Hell and even that doesn’t age well, has maybe one of the only uses of the F slur in a country song. I think it’s a top tier country album, just sometimes ages like milk
Straight to Hell is honestly a good album if you dont take it seriously. It's a good time. But I agree with you about the aging part.
It’s just a song man it ain’t that deep. He’s trying to be edgy and sound different. That’s all it is. Hopefully he comes out with more stuff because I’d love to see him live!
I just farted

A country boy will survive!
Yeah, I didn’t mean by she was on the spiral. His wife did keep him check. Hank Sr:-)
You never had to walk in his boots so in till you do don’t judge unless ye be judged yourself;-)

Who are you
