I think Gary Lindsey rocks! He has more energy that most performers these days and brings and intensity and energy to the show that those prior his participation lacked. I saw the band before Gary Lindsey was in AssJack and after and I would I would say he is an added bonus all around not a douche bag like Bob has mentioned although bob hasn’t addressed WHY he thinks he’s a douche bag so hard to comment directly.

Alright, I’m listening to this album at the moment, and it’s pretty good… however, the production is really bugging me. It clips almost as badly as Death Magnetic, and the drums sound like a drum machine. The bass drum is extremely clicky and has no ‘oomph’ to it at all. That aside, the album itself is pretty good. Hank III’s vocals aren’t exactly suited to this kind of music, but it works in a weird kind of way. I just wish it sounded a little better.

Hey, i was at that Raleigh show (the dude with the beat up thrash vest), and it kicked all sorts of ass. Hank played for three hours with three different bands (Hank III, Hellbilly, and Assjack.) I still haven’t given this cd a spin yet, because I’m still waiting for it to come in the mail. However, StH and DR,RP are always in the ol’ CD player.

I actually prefer Damn Right, Rebel Proud. It’s a little more traditional, but still very Hank 3. He’s surely coming into his own!

Maybe compared to his grandfather, you could make an argument for that…but compared to his father? The guy who did the Monday night football song??? REALLY???

I’m gonna say you’re off your rocker.

Hank iii is one of the few contemporary country artists worth following. Snr an undisputed legend, Jnr ive never cared for. But im a metalhead first and from a metalhead perspective this is my favourite album thus far this year. UK tour next month cannot wait. Gonna get real loud, get stoned n get proud n have a damn good time…… which is also a good summary of this album heheheh

Compared to his grandfather and father, this Hank sucks ass.

Straight to Hell is a great country album. If you liked that you should really get his new one, “Damn Right, Rebel Proud”. It’s just as good.

I’m definitely checking this out… Hank III is one of the only two country artists that i will voluntarily listen to, Johnny Cash being the other (involuntarily is a different story… the wife likes country music, unfortunately). His country work is great (see “Straight To Hell”), and this should be interesting.

Do you mean that he’s a douche as a person? Or he’s a douche onstage?

i think it’s worth noting that hank iii plays ALL the instruments on this album: guitars, drums, bass, and vocals. i have to disagree with the post about gary lindsey, the guy he takes on the road with him to help out on vox for assjack. that guy is a douche. i would enjoy assjack more if he wasn’t on stage.
i saw hank iii/assjack at the orange peel in asheville a few weeks ago… i have to admit i don’t remember the country set because i drank almost a half jar of moonshine beforehand. but i was up front for the metal part and my ears were ringing the next day! i saw the show july 3 in raleigh and that was probably the tightest i’ve ever seen hank iii…i’m just disappointed joe buck wasn’t on the tour playing bass.
i think hank iii is one of the most important musicians of our time!

Been supporting him since his first country CD. Good stuff. Glad to see Curb wised up and released this. I prefer the rawness of the old bootlegs, but this is still good.

I tried to get into this record, but maybe it’s just because I’m used to Hank 3′s country stuff. Musically, I was into it… vocally, however…

A 16 oz can of PBR costs 6.50 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA. You can normally get a twelve-pack for about the same cost. I spent at least $40 on delicious, sweet PBR when I saw Hank III & Assjack a few weeks back. It was worth every red cent!

This was a good review for a great band, though more could be said about bad ass Gary Lindsey. I think he was responsible for most of the “nightmarish howls” on the CD. He might also be the best part of an Assjack show. He’s the added element that pushes a great show over the edge into MADNESS!

FINALLY!!! i have an old boot leg from when he was touring here a few years ago. it was so great that about 10 times over the course of his 2 hour country set, he said “ok, those of you that don’t like heavy metal should just get the fuck out when we’re done, because we are going to take a short break and come back and rip your fucking heads off with some heavy metal”… sure enough, not 15 minutes after Hank III was done, Assjack was on the stage. killer, killer show.

I couldnt really get into the new cd, wasnt bad but thats about all I could say. I am bummed though that I missed his summer tour a couple years ago when he had Arp on guitar that would of been amazing
