100% this. God damn smelly wooks screaming “play Cumberland Blues” at a random bluegrass show like it’s some old folk song that every band should know. The entire genre is being overrun by these people.
Billy Strings ruined Bluegrass. And that’s coming from someone that thinks Billy Strings is actually a pretty solid artist.7/20/2023 1:54:44 PM |

He’s the one that covered Dead songs. Covering those songs and not expecting to be inundated by wooks is like leaving your porch light on all night and not expecting the entire porch to be covered in moths in the morning. 7/20/2023 2:17:42 PM |

Del Mccoury gets a haircut every few weeks and wears a jacket on stage. Only the bravest deadheads go to his shows because Del reminds them of their fathers too much. Imagine getting spun at a show and feeling the fatherly disappointment vibes emanating from the lead singer. Total buzzkill.

Ok, I thought more about it and I may have been suffering from some bad causality. It’s not the Dead covers, or dissonant jams, or decent song writing that attracts the wooks to Billy. It’s the fact that the availability of good LSD SKYROCKETS when his tour is in town. It’s really only Billy’s fault depending on how you view his embrace of drug culture. Jam culture is complicated though with all of those elements playing off each other. So it’s like a chicken or egg first kinda thing.

His IBMA show in 2015 didn't have a lot of wooks that I saw, but that was almost 8 years ago. Maybe they hadn't attached themselves to him back then. He had a really good set though and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Haven't seen him live since though. 7/21/2023 8:18:41 PM |

The poor guy flew all the way to Europe trying to run from the wooks, but somehow they, the same people that bum multiple cigarettes in line before the show opens, always have the cash for a flight and concert tickets.
Billy is now having to address the front row culture in his Insta comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/BillyStrings/s/BqiIsVWq4O
I think the lesson for artists is simple. Don’t mention, cover, or pay homage to anything related to mainstream Jam culture, or these wooks will find you and haunt you for the rest of your career. 11/17/2023 6:10:29 AM |

^I went to the Polyphia show at the Ritz a few weeks ago and paid for the VIP front row balcony seats upgrade to avoid the sold out crowd below. It was really nice as I could leave to go to the bathroom and come back to have my seat waiting for me. I hit the merch tables after the first artist, go to the bar during the show, etc. and was able to get out right after the last encore song. I parked near the front of the Ritz so I was able to beat the entire crowd getting to their cars and was home back in Chapel Hill thirty minutes after my last photo walking out. It was great. 11/18/2023 5:39:42 AM |

I’m a year late to this, and I damn sure don’t read Insta comments, but holy shit:
https://www.jambase.com/article/billy-strings-grateful-dead-covers?
Quote : | "Billy Strings was frank in sharing his feelings about other acts leaning on the GD repertoire. “[J]ust too many pigs on the teet,” Strings wrote. “There are sooo many bands trying to suckle off the dead. I’ll leave that to them.”
The guitarist also took aim at fans who yell for him to cover the Dead at his own shows. “[I]t chaps my ass when I hear people hollering requests for dead songs at my shows,” noted Billy. “I want them to scream dust in a baggie not fucking Althea.. I just wanted to see how many people would stick around for the music that I write and the bluegrass that I love to play. That’s my world,” added Strings." |
Billy was right there with me the entire time:
