Garth Brooks is a Wal-Mart cowboy. Waylon is an absolute legend.

Waylon Jennings is truly a legend in country music.

Waylon is a true legend. Garth was the beginning of the fall of country music.

I'll always think of Garth Brooks as the pioneer of the Duche revolution in county music, and it continues to this day.

Waylon 100% all day every day! No questions asked!

Waylon was a Musical Genius and I wouldn't walk across the street to see Garth Brooks.

It warms my heart seeing that everyone in the comments is on Waylon's side.

Waylon comes on the radio, I turn it up. Garth comes on the radio, I change the channel.

Garth Brookes couldn't hold a candle in any way to Waylon Jennings!

There is no comparison catalogue wise, and Waylon was also a far superior guitarist.

Garth Brooks was a manufactured pop star-- he represented everything Waylon hated about music. The big productions, the polished sound. When country music started going in that direction-- Waylon kept stripping his music back down. He always went against the grain and the fans loved it.

Garth is like tacobell to mexican food

I saw Waylon every time he got within 100 miles or so from the 70's until he passed. The line he sounds like Mr. Haney from Green Acres was genius, spot on, funny and pure Waylon.

Waylon all day everyday.

I met Waylon in the early 1980’s. He actually stopped and talked to a handful of fans waiting for him to cross the catwalk into the theater. The music was playing for him to go on stage. He didn’t care he still talked to us fans. A very warm personality. I’ll never forget that. Rip Waylon. It was the Holiday Star Theater in Merrillville, IN.

Garth will only be remembered as long as the fans from his generation are alive Waylon will be remembered forever

I loved Waylon & I thought he was the best next to Conway Twitty. Waylon had a one of a kind voice & said & did it his way. R.I.P Waylon you will always be loved & missed.

Waylon"s music takes my soul to the edge.❤

I read that shooter Jennings said his favorite quote ever from his dad Waylon was “Garth Brooks did for country music what pantyhose did for finger fu@king” 😂😂

Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest, my first exposure to country music was on Hee Haw... I fell in love with all the people on that show, not just because they were so happy, but, as a child, I could sense their genuine love, respect, & sincerity for one another... My first experience with Waylon was his narration on The Dukes Of Hazzard... One of a kind man with a one of a kind voice! RIP, Mr. Jennings 🙏

Waylon hands down. Like Ringo said "You got to pay your dues". Waylon did. Anyone who says, Garth over Waylon, loses all credibility in my book. Waylon is the man.

Waylon all day everyday. ❤

I've always felt like Garth was corporate creation made to appeal to the masses. Waylon came across as much more authentic person which made his songs have a real weight to them. Plus his voice is probably my favorite in country music along with Don Williams.

Grew up in the 80s and loved Waylon narrating the dukes of hazard and making guest appearances.

Waylon's telecaster playing with phaser was magical. Waylon was one of the first outlaws, he did real cocaine, and sounded how he looked.

I saw an interview with Waylon where he was asked about Garth. Waylon said " I'll say one thing. He has brought a younger crowd to country music. Waylon said what he thought, like it or not. He wrote Bob Wills is still the King because he thought Willy was getting a big head. The difference in the two is one had a degree in marketing and one had a degree from the school of hard knocks.

Never could understand why Garth brooks was so popular back in the day.

Waylon is like a fine Bourbon, Barf Brooks is Bud light. One aged fine and is still wanted, the other has just gone away

Who do I still listen to, Waylon.

Waylon was the man, Garth doesn't even compare.

“Three Chords and the Truth” is a book that has a lot to say about Garth and how he handled the business. Waylon Jennings was right. Waylon said what needed to be said. He’s the music LEGEND.

Im in my early 20s and grew up in the south. Garths music is what initially made me hate country music. As I got older and listened to Waylon, Johnny, George, and Merle it became my favorite genre.

Waylon is the gold standard for me in Country Music (or music rooted in Country, but influenced by multiple genres). He was an underrated guitarist with an absolutely original sound, and most importantly he had one of the greatest voices to ever grace a Country album. He could also walk out, pick up his guitar, start performing and simply own that stage. He was that good. But his talent was restrained by RCA and the "Nashville Sound" for years. When he got the contract he wanted and the creative control, he struck when the iron was hot, making music that was perfect for the younger audiences thirsting for music that was honest and raw. The "Outlaw" label was coined, and RCA milked it for all it was worth. By the time Garth came around Country had become more homogeneous again. Garth found huge success with a mainstream sound and big stage productions that Waylon found insincere. It was as much about the show as the music. Waylon wasn't one to hide his opinions, but that's okay. Garth has been gentlemanly about it. I truly believe that Waylon would be an independent artist today, not relying on a major label to market his music. He played by his own rules, and made incredible music. That's as real as it gets.

Garth started nothing revolutionary. Waylon is one of the fathers of outlaw music. Garth can’t be compared to the Legend.

My rant about Garth. I grew up on Waylon music and love his music. I was a relatively young man when Garth came out nationally, and saw first hand he was nothing but a "Rexall Ranger" (what we called a drugstore cowboy). In the 90's I happened to live in the Metroplex in Texas (D/FW). So they start advertising that Garth is coming to Dallas for one show only at Cowboy Stadium and give the date. So tickets go on sale the concert sells out in less than 30 minutes. Garth who had played in a house band and in the 80's in Dallas, (Cowboy's on Gaston Road) holds a press conference on Monday after the tickets for his show sells out, wipes his eyes and says "Dallas I love you, and since my show sold out so fast and I'd never want my hard working fans to have to pay a scalper any money just to see me perform live I'm going to put on another show for you". Tickets for that show goes on sell Saturday. So this is two shows of the one time only performance. That show sells out in 45 minutes. So Monday another press conference. Same thing as Garth wipes away his crocodile tears he says "I don't want scapers to make a dime off me and I do want anybody who likes my music to get to see me perform to do so, So we are going to give you another show". So this is three shows on what they told us was one show only. This shows tickets goes on sale Saturday. That show sold out in less than one hour. That Monday same thing at the press conference. As he wipes away his tears "I don't want any scalper to make a dime off my music for my hard working fans, so since you obviously love me and my music, I'm going to give you a free concert for Sunday night, just show up bring your family and enjoy my music". So what was a one time only is now 4 shows with one free. How this turned out was the 3 shows on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday was a taped concert show on NBC in the fall of that year, the free Sunday show was for the close ups. So as a country music fan I felt cheated and used by Garth Brooks and spent my hard earned money on George Strait!

Garth Brooks was the beginning of the end for country music .

Waylon is the best

WAYLON JENNINGS for life!🇱🇷💯

I’ve always considered myself one of Waylon’s biggest fan But after watching this I now consider myself his biggest fan It’s like the man could see the future

Funny he mentioned him trying to cry. For decades I've said I've never seen a GB interview that he didn't cry in at some point 😅

Waylon 100%

Waylon gets my vote

One is a phony One is the REAL DEAL 🤔 I don’t even have to say anything else.

Garth Brooks is GMA and Today show country, Waylon is dancehall, beer joint country.

Waylon is real country and that will always be Garth not worth talking about

I did not care for Garth until he gave Chris LeDoux his due. Waylon's opinion on anything country is golden.

I guess Waylon saw through the BS that Garth was about and was telling us all the true.

Garth Brooks doesn’t deserve to be in a fued with a legend like Waylon.

Waylon knew a fake when he saw one.

Wayon was bigger than life. His music was honest and groundbreaking. I think Brooks was the beginning of the end of traditional country. I prefer the guy who plays the guitar and sings the truth about life as opposed to a show off who makes an ass out of himself in order to sell tickets. Waylon has always been a hero of mine...always will be.

I was a kid in the 80s. Mom and Dad played Waylon all the time. Thanks Mom and Dad, I miss you!

Started listening to Waylon as a teenager im now 63 and still listen to Waylon.

I'll never go against Waylon

You're about half right. Waylon is a legend.

Garth is basically the Al Gore of country and western music.

When I think of country music,Waylon comes to mind first. He lived it,wrote it,played it and sung it like it should be.

Garth Brooks is Dr. Phil of country music.

Garth's new lyrics- 🎵 Bud's got cans with ugly faces There are stacks and stacks Of unsold cases Down at the store That we won't buy no more Sold to men that wear frills and laces Oh, Bud's got cans, With ug-gly faces 🎶

Buddy of mine had a decal on one of his guitars that pretty well summed it up, "Garth killed country"

Chris Gaines is who Garth really wanted to be. Country music genre just paid his bills. Waylon knew there was no country in him.

I'm not a "country" fan but Waylon (an outlaw) was a favorite of mine. Garth however....I never "got" what people saw in him. I wouldn't listen to anything he did. I think it is correct to call him "pop country".

Lol Waylon is Rollin in his grave right now .if he thinks Garth isn't country he would lose his mind over the WOKE country music !!!

Waylon is the superior sound and Talent, a true Legend in the industry with a voice that could touch peoples Soul. His Guitar Skills were just as impressive.

I knew Waylon in the late '80's. I had an hour long conversation with Garth in '96. Garth was an advertising (marketing) major in college.. Waylon was a real HOSS & could always call it.

Country started to go down the drain around the time Barf came onto the scene and sunk even deeper when Shania Twain came along.

I vaguely remember watching Garp “ perform “ on TV long ago. I watched for about thirty seconds and asked somebody at the bar if he was a comedian or some wise-ass impersonator making fun of country music. The high-pitched twangy holler, the pyrotechnics, whirling floodlights, and head- set microphone, it looked so ridiculous it’s got to be a joke. I felt the same way the first time I saw KISS. Clown makeup, Superhero Halloween costumes, Alien Stormtrooper boots. Pass the Pepto!

Waylon is iconic Country Music. garth is "country music" and honestly a one hit wonder. People will know who Waylon Jennings is 200 years from now. Most country music fans 50 years from now won't know who garth is.

I can’t imagine where or why Waylon would care about Girth one way or the other

Waylon

Waylon sang how he lived, Garth is just an entertainer for the people.....Waylon wasn't considered country (hence the whole outlaw movement) back in the day....Love Waylon and some Garth.....either is better than today's "country" music! Waylon, Willie, Merle, George, Johnny Cash was real country music!

I worked for a trucking company that hauled Garth's equipment. One driver begged me to go to the central park concert for him but i passed. I asked several of the drivers if they got to talk to Garth? They all said no they couldn't even look at him. Waylon is a legend Garth is a pop star but i am sure his fans adore him.

the sound of Garths voice make me cry , not into country music but my mother loved this man, and yes this 48 yr old still cries over his mother a decade later, Rip mom

I grew up to 70’s & 80’s country because that’s what my parents listened to. But in 86 i jumped over to 80’s rock/pop. That’s what i listened to mostly till August of 1990. Then I heard Blame It all on my roots and I was hooked on country through out 90’s up till about 10 years ago. I can’t listen to anything on the radio today. It’s all 💩 So thankfully I got my own 80’s-90’s country playlist. It includes everyone from Waylon to King George to Garth to no name artists of the 90’s that I liked. Waylon would definitely be disappointed with country music of today without a doubt

Garth wants to be all things to everybody. Waylon knew who his people were and loved being a part of them.

Waylon is a legend, pioneered the outlaw movement. Garth was responsible for destroying real country music.....look at what they're calling country music today.

Waylon is the TRUE LEGEND !!!!!

Waylon Jennings a true legend!❤️❤️

Maybe 2 of garths songs once every 5 years. All of Waylons everyday.

Wow! That quote from Jennings about Brooks pretty much sums it up.

I’m a metal kinda guy from the 80’s and calling Garth country is like calling Poison metal, both radio diatribe manufacturered pop music for the ignorant masses. Waylon is the Legend and his son is doing him justice, I’ve seen Shooter twice and he didn’t disappoint🤘🏻

Garth is pop country not real country music. Waylon was real deal country music

They’re both great but Waylon took the hit and paved the road for Artists like Garth and many others to do the music they wanted to. Waylon may have not had the most #1’s blah blah blah but that’s because he didn’t do what Music executives wanted him to do. Because of that Waylon is the GOAT in my opionion.

Loved Waylon! I wish we still had country music today.

I’m a Waylon fan I wouldn’t walk across the street to see Garth if it were free

I agree w Sir Waylon...

Gosh, what would Waylon think NOW, 21 years after his Death, with all the Collaborations in Pop Country and Pop Music? Can't have a Country Music Awards without having Pop Music Stars singing with the Pop Country Stars to get through their Awards Shows! Are the Power Brokers in Music trying to get ALL MUSIC STARS to Operate out of and live close to Nashville? Waylon is correct as far as this music out of Nashville today and even 25 years ago, is not the Country Music that Others and He, wrote and sang, back in the day! But, in defense of all the collaborations today, Dolly laughs all the Way to The Bank!

Garth Brooks/Fred Durst is a Wal-Mart cowboy. Waylon is an absolute legend.

I have always been and always will be a Waylon fan. That said, I jumped on the Garth bandwagon when it came along as well... and I am still a big fan... heck, I'm even a Chris Gaines fan! I think there's room for both... at least in my playlist.

Garth who?

The big difference between the two of them is that Garth has more bodies buried at different places, while Waylon never killed anyone.

The fact Waylon had issues with garth, says a lot!

Waylon has always been my hero . RIP Waylon you are missed and still loved.

Garth is a Gucci cowboy. Never paid his dues got fame fast. Egomaniac

Even back then Waylon knew something we didn't. Hes got a sixth sense for posers

Everyone in the comments taking Waylons side is restoring my faith in humanity

Waylon struggled and helped create country music. Garth had it easy, someone picked him up and then cast him out. Waylon's name is forever, Garth will not be. Most new stars are that way... easy come to them.

To even compare them two is a slap to Waylon's face .. Garth stole his whole show from Chris Leudex .. A real cowboy

I must live in a vacuum as I had never heard of this "feud" before. I have been a Waylon Jennings fan forever. I also enjoyed some Garth Brooks and have a few of his albums. Today I spend most of my time listening to music on KZfaq videos. Come to think of it, I watch some Waylon Jennings every night and I have hardly ever watched a Garth Brooks video. Just my experience. I'm a 78 year old guy by the way.

I have never liked Garth. Never got a good feeling about him. But Waylon is a legend. And yes, Waylon was a musical genius and he was such a kind soul. I listen to his music to this day. Every night I listen to his favorite song, “ Dreaming, my dreams.”I know he’s in heaven with Johnny, Hank and George Jones. Waylon is greatly missed.. ❤️🙏

Waylon all the way 🇺🇸
