Seriously .. What happened to Garth Brooks?

I hate....... no despise country music but how can you not like the song Thunder Rolls.

So here's a huge star does his Chris Gaines thing and dissapears never to make an album again?

Where's the follow up press?

What happened to that dude?

He got a divorce. Had some other life issues and retired in 2001.

stickyfingerz · 08-17-2007, 02:49 PM

He retired. He has a new album coming out. Think 1 single was released so far. He will be marrying Trisha Yearwood and the duet albums will ensue. He'll explode in popularity again.

Country music is pretty wack, but I could still get into his old stuff even though I'm not a country fan. Who knows, he might bring country out of the gutter. Good luck to him.

I think rap stuff is nuts, but then each to their own taste

Garth Brooks is the fucking man.

He has made more money than any other artist in the past 20 years.

I believe Country is actually still the number 1 selling music in the U.S. Gutter? I thinks not.

I think he's sold more albums in America than any other artist.

Btw, for those who hate country and rap. I think those are the two most popular selling genres in America in the past decade. lol. Both pretty much American born and bred styles.

Matt 26z · 08-17-2007, 04:19 PM

I don't like country, but I do like Garth Brooks.

I can't stand country but at least it is music. You can't call rap music...not with a straight face anyway.

tony286 · 08-17-2007, 04:25 PM

Lost in you was a great song. He seemed like a very humble and thankful man.

Red Ezra · 08-17-2007, 04:33 PM

he doesnt have to work anymore - why should he? - next...

He is way up there, but probably not at the top. There are the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and U2 that are probably above him. Garth had a hell of a run and I've seen him live once, he puts on a great show. He sold a lot of records and sold out shows every night for about 5 years, but artists typically don't make all that much on record sales and people like the stones, u2 and paul tour all the time and sell out arenas world wide year after year, not to mention the sheer amount of money they earn on publishing royalties alone.

He will be announcing his "unretirement" this weekend. Expect a single city long run show, possibly Vegas or Branson.
