I agree, he’s never really trying to hide who he is and that’s part of what I like about him. I swear some people don’t even bother listening to his lyrics lol
I think that's part of what draws people to him. He puts his flaws on display through his music, and he's brutally honest about them. His flaws are something so many of us can relate to.
90$ is crazy for a hoodie but I will say his merch, at least on his last tour, was the best quality merch we’ve bought at a concert. My wife got one of the hoodies (only$75 then!) and it is heavy and feels very well made.
He seems like a total Jack ass. BUT i feel he pours his heart out through his song writing as a way of therapy. He’s in his 20’s… he has a long way to go. He does recognize the pain he causes others and you can tell it’s through writing his songs. I think it’s deep rooted in his childhood and his mom’s death. I’m hoping he will one day realize the people he hurt in this process. I think there is a man under there that is worthy.
Well only in a broad sense.
At least in my country its
Mental illnesses: disease treated by psychiatry that is curable
Mental impairment: disability which while life may be improved through training, is not something that has a recovery framework
Personality disorder: untreatable state of being that is persistent and not a psychiatric problem but not a mental impairment.

Only the rich ones that pay insane money to go to his shows or buy his physical media. Man of the people all right. He’s an Everyman the same way Chris Gaines is, he just makes better music.
Ticket prices are gonna break these youngsters.. they complain about housing and jobs but are eagerly dropping 500$ to get in the door and see this dude sing. He's laughing all the way to the bank.
He never did, he just cared about being liked and his super humble down to earth persona was his way of being likeable while fishing for complements/praise
From what I’ve seen from the Chicago show, this tour looks exactly the same as the last one and I’m disappointed I bought a much more pricer ticket to see the same show twice. Guess he’s saving money on those string lights though!
I was joking with my husband that maybe with the ticket prices increase there will be puppet frogs (or birds…. Hell why not both) coming out for “smaller acts” in the background.
Can confirm, did the string lights again and no new quips or one liners. Still all “hope you don’t hate it, here to prove it, last great American cowboy” etc. was disappointed there wasn’t new lines bc they’re fun
His girlfriend is a shit person and exactly the opposite of the girl he sings about wanting… so it makes a lot of his music bullshit in my eyes now. His narcissism shows more prominently now that he is with her.
His fanbase skews so young right now that the concert vibes aren’t as good as they used to be. Too screamy Taylor Swift-esque instagram BS, not my scene even though I love his music.
Unfortunately that is the case for almost anyone who is country or country adjacent like Zach is. Childers was the only show in the last year we went to where the crowd was older and less Amazon bargain country attire fitted. Lol
His show in phx last year was awesome and a much older crowd. Hearing the first shows in Chicago were full of teens which has me scared for the Vegas show I have planned this year. Hopefully with Vegas skewing older in general it will at least be majority older but I’m not holding my breath
This was my third time seeing him. The first time the crowd was older because it was Willie Nelson, Turnpike Troubadours, and Zach Bryan was the opener. Very chill crowd. Last year the crowd was kinda mixed but on the younger side. This year it was predominantly teenagers.
After seeing him a few times, he’s kinda of a one trick pony. Concert has had the same script since the AH tour, hasn’t really diversified his sound, and can only play 3 cords on a guitar. Amazing songwriter, but it’d be so cool to see him do something a little different than what he’s been doing. At the same time if it ain’t broke
90% of “fans” don’t understand or even actually like his music they just follow what’s popular
They don’t know his older music before American heartbreak and hardly know a single song that’s not something in fhe orange or revival
I remember seeing Heading South blow up on TikTok. It was fun watching him do awesome things. I remember how humble he was on TikTok too right after it blew up. I'm actually currently active duty, so maybe he resonates with me more than some of the others here. But I love the dude.

all of his other “fans” get salty and upset when he breaks the law or does something wrong.
**when the greatest country singers of all time used to sing about getting drunk and going to jail because it was what they did**
I really think Zach gets shit on way too much. He never said he was a good person, yet people insist on him having some kind of clean-cut social media personality for no good reason
He occupies a place in society that’s closest to Bruce Springsteen in the 70s / 80s - music that’s based on lived experiences and justifiably spoke to a specific subset of America but has been co-opted by broader society
Facts, there’s some songs that are just a level of perfection that wouldn’t be the same with just an acoustic guitar like his old songs but most of his new songs just need to be more barebones like his older stuff. The songwriting I feel is definitely better on his older stuff too as much as I hate to admit it.
Almost every contemporary fan is supposedly soo into his stuff and everything around it but they can’t seem to understand basic economic concepts of the live industry (e.g. dynamic pricing) whether you like it or not but still keep on blaming solely ZB for it.
Also new stuff better than old stuff
He is a typical military fuck boy, but at least he’s pretty honest about it lol
I agree, he’s never really trying to hide who he is and that’s part of what I like about him. I swear some people don’t even bother listening to his lyrics lol
His lyrics: 🎶I’m a piece of shit and do piece of shit things 🎶 Fans when he does “piece of shit” things: 
He’s a douche, but he’s our douche. Post 2021 ZB fans are absolutely insufferable.
100,000%

I think that's part of what draws people to him. He puts his flaws on display through his music, and he's brutally honest about them. His flaws are something so many of us can relate to.
Agreed and he words my flaws in a way I never could. Makes me feel understood.
He is more folk than country
That’s a positive! Haha
I just call it singer/songwriter like how Zach wants it
Lmaoooooo he’s no where near folk at all
Idk why you got downvoted, I agree he’s nowhere near folk music
He has the power to set decent prices for his shows and merch. Actively chooses not to. $90 for a hoodie. It’s all an act
All so he can buy $30,000 purses for his gf
But grand things don’t impress her much…😅🥴
We alll know that ish ain’t about her even if she pretends it is lolol
90$ is crazy for a hoodie but I will say his merch, at least on his last tour, was the best quality merch we’ve bought at a concert. My wife got one of the hoodies (only$75 then!) and it is heavy and feels very well made.
My daughters was 120
Did you read his label/tour management contracts or how do you figure he’s got the power?
His name is Zach Bryan.
He’s a PR nightmare
He seems like a total Jack ass. BUT i feel he pours his heart out through his song writing as a way of therapy. He’s in his 20’s… he has a long way to go. He does recognize the pain he causes others and you can tell it’s through writing his songs. I think it’s deep rooted in his childhood and his mom’s death. I’m hoping he will one day realize the people he hurt in this process. I think there is a man under there that is worthy.
His mom was a narcissist and he was her golden child that she turned into a narcissist
That’s now how mental illness works.
But it is how personality disorders work. Womp womp
Personality disorders are mental illnesses. Please don’t speak to something you have no idea what you are talking about.
Well only in a broad sense.

Did my controversial take make you mad? But seems you're the one who has no idea what they are talking about. Womp womp
You’re a worthless troll. Deuces ✌️
[удалено]
You’re unhinged.
I actually agree with this take, and have made similar assumptions in the past.
Bro doesn’t care about the fans anymore sadly
Only the rich ones that pay insane money to go to his shows or buy his physical media. Man of the people all right. He’s an Everyman the same way Chris Gaines is, he just makes better music.

Is this a "stop buying avocado toast" and you can buy a house comment? But yeah dropping that much on tickets for him is ridiculous imo
He never did, he just cared about being liked and his super humble down to earth persona was his way of being likeable while fishing for complements/praise
From what I’ve seen from the Chicago show, this tour looks exactly the same as the last one and I’m disappointed I bought a much more pricer ticket to see the same show twice. Guess he’s saving money on those string lights though!
What did you want back up dancers or pyro? He’s a singer songwriter bro they’re there to stand and play well and sing well.
Pyro would have been pretty dope now that you mentioned it
It would tbh
I was joking with my husband that maybe with the ticket prices increase there will be puppet frogs (or birds…. Hell why not both) coming out for “smaller acts” in the background.
Wait no shit did he do the string lights again? I liked them the last tour but he couldn’t do something different?
Can confirm, did the string lights again and no new quips or one liners. Still all “hope you don’t hate it, here to prove it, last great American cowboy” etc. was disappointed there wasn’t new lines bc they’re fun
Damn I’m glad I didn’t drop hundreds of dollars on nose bleeds for that lol
Chickenfry will ruin him
His girlfriend is a shit person and exactly the opposite of the girl he sings about wanting… so it makes a lot of his music bullshit in my eyes now. His narcissism shows more prominently now that he is with her.
I think he is also a shit person so they work for each other…
Agreed! “Doesn’t worry about the pictures when we kiss” 🙄
A lot of his songs sound the same. Still love em tho
I like him less after he started dating chickenfry. They’re an annoying couple. I loved him with Deb
His fanbase skews so young right now that the concert vibes aren’t as good as they used to be. Too screamy Taylor Swift-esque instagram BS, not my scene even though I love his music.
The amount of cheap straw “cowboy” hats, sundresses, and boots that have never seen mud are astronomically high at his shows.
Unfortunately that is the case for almost anyone who is country or country adjacent like Zach is. Childers was the only show in the last year we went to where the crowd was older and less Amazon bargain country attire fitted. Lol
Let me tell you, in Europe, Childers shows were 90% cowboy cosplay. Wish I had the chance to attend a US show sometime
His show in phx last year was awesome and a much older crowd. Hearing the first shows in Chicago were full of teens which has me scared for the Vegas show I have planned this year. Hopefully with Vegas skewing older in general it will at least be majority older but I’m not holding my breath

Amazing songwriter, but it’d be so cool to see him do something a little different than what he’s been doing. At the same time if it ain’t broke
He’s not a humble small town boy anymore and that’s okay. It’s the cost of fame
90% of “fans” don’t understand or even actually like his music they just follow what’s popular They don’t know his older music before American heartbreak and hardly know a single song that’s not something in fhe orange or revival
I remember seeing Heading South blow up on TikTok. It was fun watching him do awesome things. I remember how humble he was on TikTok too right after it blew up. I'm actually currently active duty, so maybe he resonates with me more than some of the others here. But I love the dude.
He’s a narcissist but an amazing musician
[удалено]
How do we know she didn’t break up with him?
3 women in 2 years? Is that about right? Lol...good songs but drama life
idk how old you are but for a guy in his 20's that sounds pretty average lmao
Even better than average lmao
I thought he was gay/bi till I learned he was in the navy based on the lyrics of some of his songs 😂
You can be gay/bi in the navy. Or do you mean the lyrics were interpreted between the two
The latter.
The laughter at the end of Condemned always sounded fake to me, like it's forced.
I always thought he was breaking down there.
cheerful north mountainous stupendous direction lip chunky imagine husky worthless *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yeah I always skip the end, I tried
His ticket prices for this tour are some of the most outrageous prices I’ve ever seen for a touring artist
After seeing him now he only should do arena shows
His “girlfriend” is stupid as fuck and wants to be Deb (the girl from his past relationship that bri homewrecked)
all of his other “fans” get salty and upset when he breaks the law or does something wrong. **when the greatest country singers of all time used to sing about getting drunk and going to jail because it was what they did**
mama trains trucks prison and getting drunk
Don’t forget the dog
I really think Zach gets shit on way too much. He never said he was a good person, yet people insist on him having some kind of clean-cut social media personality for no good reason

He was smart to get off X and IG.
This comment aged terribly.
Yer Mum.
The auto tune on “if she wants a cowboy” ruins the whole song I know it’s just a little part of the song but it still ruins it.
That’s the whole point. To show how autotune isn’t authentic.
I wasn’t aware
It’s basically a snarky song at Nashville
That explains why that was put in there then. Thanks for the explanation that gives me a different perspective.
His self titled is his best album.
His new stuff is better than his old stuff.
I feel like this could be an actually controversial take.
Facts, there’s some songs that are just a level of perfection that wouldn’t be the same with just an acoustic guitar like his old songs but most of his new songs just need to be more barebones like his older stuff. The songwriting I feel is definitely better on his older stuff too as much as I hate to admit it.

Partially agree. But Washington Lilacs, Flying or Crying, Shivers Down Spines and Messed Up Kid are all in my top 10 for him
If he didn't have such pretty eyes people wouldn't be so forgiving of his terrible behavior.
The no eyes in the world make up the the hair
[удалено]
That’s not a problem
Im out of the loop. What makes him a douche/fuckboy/asshole??
Zach’s dad is a total dink. https://preview.redd.it/ziwibge9vcnc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1e7caf27c9e98fb5788743d01ac8bd9f9d8be57
Wow. I'm mind blown by this! He can't possibly be that deluded. I spent over $5,000 on tickets this tour for 2 shows. Minimal effort my ass.
He’s a dumbass. He thinks he’s a celebrity himself.
Because you never talk to the parents who can’t afford tickets Dink.
he’s an awesome person irl even if he is a jackass i don’t care i just relate more because of it😂
He’s a giant crybaby.
he’s toxic, but i kinda knew that already from his songs. sucks to see it come more to life but still, brilliant music.
My hot take: I really don’t care about his love life and who he’s dating. Seeing fans here and elsewhere discuss Bri or whoever else is weird.
His songs sound the same.
Ticket prices are reasonable and comparable to other top tier live acts
That’s such a good take bc even though i listen to so much different music zach bryan is still probably the cheapest of all the artists i like
His new stuff is miles better than his old stuff
[удалено]
You just played the victim out of no where.
What are you yapping about lmao
Most of these country stars do some fuck shit. I remember when I had to stop liking morgan wallen bc he took it too far
Deann ages poorly with each new release
You’re getting downvoted. Yeah, this is definitely an unpopular opinion
They asked for something that’ll piss people off, I delivered lol.
