The depths to Jay’s answers reminds me he is exactly who we think he is. High Five Jay

This interview is really great. She asks some great questions and his answers are so thoughtful and genuine. Bravo.

Thank you Sandra for sharing this interview. I've recently stumbled upon Rival Sons and am blown away by their music and really respect where they are coming from. I think Jay is such a great singer and their music is actually timeless. I grew up on classic rock and I am so appreciative that Rival Sons exist in this day and age! I never dreamed that I would come across a band that brings me the same kind of joy and excitement I felt when I was growing up! Jay really comes across as the real deal, and that is a breath of fresh air during these times. I really hope that more people become aware of and appreciate Rival Sons and I wish them as much success as possible!

I listen to this band, I look at him, I think about what he’s saying, and I realize how truly fake and superficial most people are. Absolutely awesome band, great interview, great questions. Rock'n'roll will never go away. ✌️

I love Jay. He's such a genuine person.

I absolutely love the fact that he mentioned Greta Van Fleet and The Struts along with Rival Sons as up-and-coming bands doing rock and roll the way it ought to be done.. I love all three bands, but right now Rival Sons just took a commanding lead!

Yes, we need more genuine and authentic artist out there! No point in decorating a cake if the cake is dry and taste like s^%$.

Ive been *committed* to #RivalSons for the last 10 years now. Own every single one of their albums. These guys have revived Rock N Roll out of it's fatal coma! I hope their latest album _Feral Roots_ makes it to number 1 w/ a bullet !!! P.S: Jay is the _Robert Plant + Jimi Hendrix_ of our generation as far as _fashion + style_ goes; and as a _vocalist_ - he is in a league of his own, and probably one of the greatest Ive had the pleasure of listening to during the last decade!

Met him in LB somewhere 2012. He was a down to earth spoken intelegeant person. He still looks cool.

This guy gets sexier and sexier but the day. I love how he is so gentle in how he replies and looks her in the eye. Not only is he speaking his truth but you can sense its coming strait from his heart. Great vid

Finally someone who knows how to interview an artist properly!

This guy is a level-headed, solid & thoughtful dude.

New fan here, I really like this dude.

rlly appreciate the kind of question that u gave to jay instead of some typical question some interviewer keep on repeating with the same questions, keep it up. love u jay!

Great interview

Great interview! I am a huge fan of Rival Sons and after watching this, even more fan. This band deserves much more recognition. They are so good. Saludos desde España.

Great voice, great artist, great person. Thanks for sharing

Great interview questions and very thoughtful and articulate responses from Jay. Rival Sons are a great band and great people.

Seeing them in 3 weeks STOKED! Great interview

Great interview, great questions. This video deserves more views and likes. Keep 'em coming :)

This man has pipes of fire 🔥 great voice man

Fantastic interview! Jay is very articulate and concise. However, I disagree with his political bit. I have seen and read countless testimony from Border patrol about the influx of illegal immigration. This is NOT a racial issue, it’s a real issue. All countries have strict immigration laws for a reason. Do you lock your door at night to protect your family, or do you leave it wide open?

Ones personal opinions are revealed in their "output" whatever that may be. He's a musician and songwriter. His internal self is out there in his art. How can you say just sing dude, don't give us your views? It's All his views. Accept it or don't.

I think it's great that a young, rock icon makes bold statements about the dangers of social media. I find him very sincere and caring.

Dude has one of the best voices ever...

Damn, he‘s smart..

I'm so glad I found your channel. Great interviews. Thank you

I love his voice its unique ❤

Great artist Great guy Great band

Thank you for staying committed! I'm a very loyal fan!

Yes your style is great! It is important ❤ Rival Sons got it all!

Love it and own it and it's a beautiful album with wonderful pictures and it's amazing.

Great interview!

He seems like a sweet and easygoing guy....love RIVAL SONS!

I agree with him about the politics. Just disagree about who the problem is. But will always be a RS fan!

Great interview. Pertinent questions. Thank you

Great guy and amazing Rock singer!

Jay Buchanan sounds like a very smart man.

What a dude . Great attitude and genuinely cool.

The only way I ever heard of these guys was from KZfaq.

He seems to be a very genuine person!

Great interview, great questions, great guy!

This interview is off the chain!....Jay is talented, intelligent, wholesum, charmastic, arrestingly hansum n a wicked dresser. I love the cut of his jib, he speaks my speak!!

Fantastic interview Sandra. I feel there's really few interviews where you get Jay to say much. Good job.

This is a fantastic interview.

He's so sweet. 😊

How can we love Jay any more? 😍

Great interview Sandra. Love your accent. Love Rival Sons.

I love this band and this guy 🔥🤘

great interview

Smart interview 👍 🎸

Great interview ❤️

Great interview and I couldn't agree with him more on the points made about social media.

Good interview and you have a awesome cat.

I could listen to this fucking guy talk for hours.

It's crazy to read the comments he answered one question about politics and it's all most of you focused on.

Saw these guys last fall opening for STP, they were outstanding and they are a hometown band too.

Girl! The right questions. Great interview!

I love Jay. But I'll tell him what I'll tell anyone dismissing the sovereign borders of our country: Go buy a house in El Paso. Live in it for a year. Then revisit that discussion.

He’s insanely talented, gorgeous, super fly AND a decent beautiful human being! Yup. I’m a fan.

Fantastic 👍👍👍

Coming to Fillmore in SF next week . Somebody said be sure to wear some flowers in your Hair but I'm thinking some Sacred Sativa in there dressing room would be more insightful.

Oh man! His answer to Niki or Cardi! Love it! Lol 😆

There’s a difference between The States n The Government n yes live ur life in a good manner n respect for all people.Then life will be good back to you. Ps. You handle yourself well,plus y’all Rock ! From South Louisiana man

New respect for this guy

He is really very wise and clever !

Good interview. Two mics would have been nice. Hehe

Best f#####g band on the planet!

Cool rap ✌

😊

nice guy

The false binary of politics is nonsense. They're two wings of the same bird. Now, with that said......Too Bad is the best song I've heard in a while. Diggin' this band.

I dont wanna be rich, I just wanna make enough money making music to quit waiting tables

Really, Michigan doesn’t have any water? Wow 🤨

7:38 i feel bad because I sent him a message 😢 sorry Jay!

All these snowflakes should remember, Jay was asked a question, he answered a question. No one asked your opinion, someone asked him.

Slash or Jimi Hendrix? Lol his reaction was hilarious.

Jay is right that you should be able to say your opinions as an artist, but it is true that it is risky. Because of the simple-mindedness of 90% of Americans, I wouldn't bother sharing my opinion.

Wonder how he feels about the wall now that America is being invaded and destroyed with chaos and immorality. Still like some of their songs.

I’m a right leaning guy and I don’t think he said anything terribly controversial. Opinions vary on the efficacy or merit of building a wall. One could definitely argue we have bigger problems in the US regardless of the consensus on what the solutions are to those problems.

I for one, have all but become furious with all these people in showbusiness, trying to force us, and feed us their political opinions the way they do. They come off as though we should follow them, do as they do, think as they do and feel as they do. It's okay for them to have an opinion, but put it in your song's. I won't listen to them preach to me about it. I understand everybody has a microphone, and their own television shows nowadays, and we all have a way to voice our views, but the hollyweirdos have an unfair advantage over the minds of people, in how they can influence a mind, especially when it's a young mind in a current state of development. Young kids look up to these people, and put them on pedestals, because of trend's, and popularity. It's not fair, and they should be given the chance to think for themselves, not be influenced by some famous pop star that they idolize.

Great band and singer, but he's an entertainer, so I personally would prefer to keep politics out of my entertainment. We get enough politics everywhere else 24/7. And it "is" embarrassing to be an American and have 100,000+ people illegally crossing our borders and into our country illegally and the left doesn't think that's a crisis that needs fixing ASAP. Border patrol is overwhelmed, kids are being used as pawns and recycled by drug runners and coyotes, with their info written on their shoes. Meanwhile we already have 500,000 homeless Americans struggling to find food and shelter tonight. The DEMs priorities are clear and political, and citizens are #2 on their list. Crazy times.

Play a show with out security then.

Having a personal political opinion is fine, but when I pay to see a band at a concert I don't want to hear anything about politics, even if I agree with what the band members believe. Politics is now in every part of our lives and I personally use music to get away from it. All politics does is divide and stir up hatred.

Huge fan and he should do what he does best, sing. Leave politics completely out of it. It isn’t about losing money, it’s about letting down your fans by giving your opinion on things that while you have a right to your opinion it certainly isn’t going to match a lot of others. Why offend anyone? It leaves a bad taste and will make people feel disrespected. I don’t care what your views are and I don’t want to hear them, just bring the music.

I haven’t been this into a band like I am in love with the Rival Sons since Mr. Big back in the old days. I love their songs and every pay day I try to buy another song from iTunes or buy off the remaining songs to complete the album. I will always see them when they get close and now that I got my passport plan to go see them in Europe in 2020. I wish he wouldn’t trash Trump. The problem in the USA is liberalism and the attack on Trump. Jay doesn’t know shit about that but I still love him.

Im from Flint...the problem is with state and local leaders..who should be in jail. And there is a huge fukin problem with illegal immigration at the borders.. Jay is blessed with a beautiful voice And sings for one of my favorite bands.. But he prolly should stick to the music. Growing up in Kalifornia has made you a full fledged lefty..

The problem with musicians and politics is that they believe because people like their music all of a sudden their political views must be injected into their music to guide their fans. Bullshit. People escape through music. If a band wants to be CNN blasting their opinions on everyone go do it and leave the music to people who want to show their artistry at music. Because baby, if your opinions are the same as every fucking talking head on tv, you aren’t different or counterculture you’re just main stream media, sorry. And yes, you will lose fans because people love rock and roll for the rebellion, for the balls, for the real world of love, spirituality, and dealing with the bullshit of life, not being lectured on who they should vote for or how to believe political bullshit. But hey, you be you, it’s your gig. Wanna sing about #orangemanbad go for it and join all the other NPC artists, you’ll still make your money. It’s cool.

To bad she didn't stick to music in her interview .

Jay I agree Michigan Democrat's should fix the water problem in their state, an in case ya don't know, without laws we have no Country, an why we need sections of walls to stop drugs an humane trafficking, terrorist, etc yet to allow legal immigration. Do you lock your doors at night?, Why cause you hate people on other side or because you love the people behind your locked doors. Please stick to music not politics

bottom line i go to concerts to escape politics. there are stages for politics and the music stage isn't it. please don't ruin a good time with politics. the world is messed up and we are trying to forget about it with some music.

Well...Jay should should stick to music....Flint Michigan' s water problem was due to switching their water source in an attempt to save money in 2014 while Obama still had two years left his second term. However in Obama's defense, this was a State and local issue falling completly on the shoulders of Michigan's Governor and the local elected officials of Flint. For Jay to make a statement implying that the Trump administration was too busy " spending money building a wall on our southern border when Michigan residents didn't have proper drinking water is a perfect example why musician's and actors should stick to their areas of expertise or at least get their facts together before spewing stupid shit in interviews....oh well.....Jay.....I hope you are proud of the current administration and have a strong Haitian fan base....sincerely....former Rival Sons fan. P.S....maybe the Taliban can help out Flint with their water issue....hell they have BILLIONS of our tax payers equipment at their disposal surely they can concoct a solution....

All you have to do is change the pronouns and then the wool pulled over ones eyes will see. Say for instance that in two generations Mexico's majority would be either El Salvadorians(which they hate) or even say Caucasian and then ask a Mexican rocker if their President wanting to build a wall to help stop this from happening made him a Racist/Bad Man, And you would have the very same people who call Orange Man Bad for doing it, all of a sudden agreeing 100%, This is a very easy exercise to see if you are brain washed and how bad it is, It's also the easy way to judge Equality, All you do is change the Pronoun(You know Pronouns, Something that if you don't use the correct one in some western places, you can be fined or arrested for not doing) This way you can walk in the shoes of someone else and see a bigger picture( Also doing this you will be shocked how much racist and sexist bigotry the so called Tolerant Left and their MSM get away with, HOURLY, Proving they are not anti-racism but are all for Division and the Hate that it brings!!! I agree that Rock n Roll has in part been about rebelling, but echoing what the Mainstream Media and a large part of the politicians tell you to believe is not that, quite the opposite in fact.

I love ya but im gonna massively disagree with ya jay on our musicians speaking up about politics... i dont want to hear 1 thing about politics at a show.. thats not what i payed my hard working money to hear, n i dont want to hear possibly a favorite musician of mine come out and say political shit i dont agree with at all! Bc then i might now not like them or want to support them bc i dont agree with what i might find very offensive ideas or opinions. Does anyone want their porn and their religion mixed together? NO... n i dont want my music mix with political views either PERIOD. Dont do it. I go to have a good time and get my mind off of shit, no to have it brought up on my dime... sorry i dont like it. Thats a very fast way to lose fans! Sorry... political issues are just that sensitive.

Politics is just as difficult as music. If you make an effort to learn one and not the other you really have NO right to comment. Put your money where your mouth is and help all those people you claim to care about. You are a great singer. Stick to that.

When people pay to hear music and see a show the last thing they want to hear about is your political opinions. Somehow musicians tend to forget that.

I just watched this video for the first time . Sorry but , I hope you think differently now about Trump, with what Biden has done to this country. I am sooo disappointed in you for even going there. I WAS a big fan but not now.

The reason you shouldn't talk politics is because politics isn't your strong suit. Obviously, drinking water and walls can be addressed simultaneously. And drinking water in Michigan is like... Problem 1003 compared with illegal immigration, which is Problem #1. You're a great singer with a powerful voice, but you're a little out of touch with working man issues. Do you think we don't pay for it when people get "free" health care? Its free for them, not free for U.S. If you ride in a limo, don't talk politics.

Yeah Jay, you're a great singer, but the fact that you don't know that Flint was a self-inflicted wound on a local level of gov't shows that you should really stay out of politics.

Keep your mouth shut about politics and play the music.
