BRANTLEY GILBERT: "THE PROBLEM WITH SOCIETY IS PEOPLE DON'T GET PUNCHED IN THE FACE ANYMORE"

BRANTLEY GILBERT: "THE PROBLEM WITH SOCIETY IS PEOPLE DON'T GET PUNCHED IN THE FACE ANYMORE"

  • Brantley Gilbert has written hit songs for Jason Aldean, recorded with him - so you kinda knew which side of the Aldean controversy he would land on
  • In case you didn't - he came right out and said it at a concert in Arkansas over the weekend 
  • "One of my many pet peeves is the fact that we live in a society nowadays where people don’t get punched in the face anymore. Just a bunch of keyboard warriors hiding behind cell phones and laptops talking a bunch of sh*t. So I got mad as hell the other night over this Aldean thing and I thought I was going to tweet something or something and I realized that I don’t have the password to any of my social media"
