Country Singer Smashes Bud Light During Queen Cover

Loudwire reports:

The country music star Brantley Gilbert showed his disdain for the beer Bud Light during a concert in Alabama on Saturday (April 15). The country singer did so during a cover of a Queen song, apparently unaware of the irony. Gilbert — the star himself doesn’t drink — made the onstage statement against Bud Light, violently throwing a can of the beer to the floor, as fan-captured footage found on TikTok shows.

The video shared on TikTok finds Gilbert with the beer can already in his hand. As his band plays a hard-edged version of “Another One Bites the Dust,” Gilbert says, “Yeah, fuck that,” and throws the can to the ground. The beer can explodes to cheers from the crowd. After that, Gilbert is tossed another beer in a silver can. He throws it to his drummer and urges him to shotgun it.

Read the full article. I’d never heard of this tool until now, but according to Wikipedia he’s had four #1 songs on the country chart and his albums have included gospel tracks. Earlier this year he performed at an event titled “The NRA’s Country Concert.” According to Fox News, he has the text of the Second Amendment tattooed on his back along with guns tattoos. The clip below has 2.4 million views. 

“Brantley Gilbert” is a name that gives more neck-beard energy than almost any name ever.

Hope that Queen cover goes well for him while he slams the “gay beer” on the stage. https://t.co/8wMgj8RWpj
