I'm the guy that managed to track down the Chris Gaines NBC Special and the Chris Gaines VH1 Behind the Music and put them on the internet back in 2012 and 2014. It was near impossible to find because they only aired once on TV and only existed on a few VHS tapes, so you're welcome America. Chris Gaines is the best undiscovered meme on the internet.

People forget just how big Garth Brooks was in the 90s because he retired in 2001 so he could be around for his daughters as they grew up, which I respected the hell out of, and you didn't hear anything about or from him really until the last few years. Garth is the biggest selling solo artist in US music history, a country singer, has sold more albums that Michael Jackson or Elvis in this country, he trails only The Beatles in album sales and he really did it all from 1989-2001. Garth had good songs ofcourse but his concerts are what really blew him up, they were amazing. Maybe the best trip of my life was when I was 20 and me, my gf, and our closest friends drove almost 12 hours on August 7th 1997 to see his concert in central park, New York City. We thought their may be 200,000 people max show up there, instead it was right at a million people, to see a country singer in New York City, that's when I knew just how big he actually was. That might be the biggest concert ever in the US. I remember these big New York guys crying their eyes out and singing with him to his song The Dance, that image has stuck with me for almost 23 years, amazing concert, amazing artist!!!

The whole album was great. Fuck you Rogan. Try writing a song and then we'll talk.

Lost In You is a phenomenal song. Garths vocals are so velvety smooth on the song.

I would listen to Chris Stapleton sing literally anything. He could sing the annoying song billion times back-to-back, and I would be there for all of it. He, Tyler Childers, and Colter Wall are my favorite country artists of all time.

Chris Stapleton, I love you! So talented and humble. I love Morgane as well. Country GOLD!

The music and the performance on that Chris Gaines cd is incredible. That’s what the cd is about. Not a wig. You ought to listen to it.

“I don’t want to control people’s... thing.” - Christopher Stapleton

I gotta say Chris S is one wonderful human being. He’s so down to earth and relatable. He didn’t/ doesn’t let the fame and fortune ruin him. If you met him in the street and didn’t know him you could talk to him for hours and never know he’s a multimillionaire. I find that to be the greatest quality a human can possess.

Chris Gaines “lost in you”. Was one of my favorite songs by Garth Brooks. Not joking.

As a Hispanic kid from NY, I was not into country music… for whatever reason I bought the Chris Gaines album at Virgin megastore with my allowance. 😂 I loved it and then I never looked back. I even learned to play the banjo. Garth Brooks rules

Way to go Chris on checking Joe. The Chris Gaines experiment was something that anyone with a brain appreciates.

This is brilliance, some people get lucky, never give up

Garth was in the middle of a nervous breakdown when he had the Chris Gaines fantasy 😵🥴😳

Art is always subjective. Garth was huge and a major asset to the craft---period.

"Thinner" was a great book

He was the industries first attempt at "Daughtry" Gaines is Fetal Daughtry.

The album was actually really good. It's all about context. GB got into that stratosphere of "weirdo" stardom. This was a by-product.

It's great that when Chris is unaware of Richard Bachman, Joe isn't a tool like "you idiot!" and instead just calmly tells him about it. Also, I get the feeling that Chris knew at least as much about the Chris Gaines stuff as Joe did because he seems to know that there was a movie planned that never materialized.

The guys should’ve just dressed normal and got a pop rock album.

I have the Chris Gaines CD. It's actually pretty good. Had Garth just released the Chris Gaines CD without the back story...it might have worked

Garth was always a rock guy. He grew up wanting to be a rock star. He was a MAJOR KISS fan. But growing up where and when he did - Stillwater, OK, and one wants to play music, he was sort of pigeonholed into that genre. Consequently, Garth became such a major country success due to his edgy and more rock sound in country music. So he got a 4 or 5 MAJOR records under his belt and he doesn't have a whole lot more to prove as a country star. He was the biggest selling ever at that point. So he goes back to his youth and wants to reclaim what he wanted to be, a rock star. Chris Gaines is his alter ego rock start he never got to be. I appreciate the artistic expression of it all.......perhaps the execution could've been handled better? I also wonder if Garth was surrounded with nothing but Yes-Men and no one telling him the brutal truth. "Uh......this is not a good idea Garth." Hell, maybe they did but Garth was at a point he didn't give a fuck.

It was an interesting way to try and experiment doing music in a different genre. But the choice of that alter ego was just goofy af. It'd be better if he did it like Gorillaz or being a guy in a Quiet Riot mask.

Gaines knows where the bodies are!

I guess Joe is going for a Twin Peaks vibe at the beginning there.

When you start a new save file.

Fuck up? That was fucking brilliant

Craziness aside, it's a good song!

I think the fact that Garth was not touring at the time, he shows that he can be versatile and did a good job. The movie was supposed to be The Lamb, which was never completed. The music however is good. He wants the writers to get paid and itunes can't offer that.

There's an alternate reality where the world's biggest pop-rock star Chris Gaines has a 1999 country alter-ego album called "Chris Gaines in the Life of..... Garth Brooks"

Garth looked like a Zoolander character as Chris Gaines 🤫🥴😵

I think it was a brilliant idea and i still listen to that record. People were not ready for this. And nobody critised David Bowie for creating Ziggy Stardust, right?

I feel like Chris is the kind of guy who says “Well I think…” when he Damn well know for sure.

I was a huge gb fan back then. That Chris gains shit was fucked

come on,unsigned letter is a pretty cool song.

I think Brooks was wanting to move away from country music for a time and try pop/ rock music. But instead of just going for it as himself he got the wild idea of an alter ego. There was just no way of pulling it off without looking kinda foolish. The album was well done and it sold very well but the alter ego Gaines thing was confusing to country fans so it flopped.

He looks like Zac from ghost adventures on that cover 😂 incredible dbag

Garth sold/sells his music by the album so all the collaborations from writers and others all get paid. If only one song is bought, only that writer gets a check. At least that’s how Garth explains it. Hard to be mad, but as a fan I’d sure like to be able to access his music easier.

Was never a Garth fan so I had no idea about Chris Gaines.

The Bachman Books are a collection of short stories King wrote while in college that were published by Omni magazine and others. He used a pseudonym so his early works wouldn't haunt him later in his career. It's my opinion that they are his finest works, particularly ' The long Walk '.

I don't remember who it was and I'm probably way off but someone was using a different name on some of their work because they we're worried that if they released too much material it would start effecting their sales I don't know how that would work but I thought it was King who did it by publishing books as Bachman ... I do know I liked some of the Bachman stories more than the King stories though he seemed to be willing to go a darker route under the Bachman name

Chris Gaines came about as a character in a movie Garth was starring in. The album was the soundtrack to the movie. The movie never ended up being released and the only thing left was the Chris Gaines album and everyone was wondering what the hell Garth was thinking creating some alter ego Chris Gaines. It's a lot less Garth going off his rocker and more of a failed movie and a big misunderstanding. I don't know who wrote the script for the movie or if Garth had a hand in that. I think he just helped write the soundtrack.

the crazy thing is garth as Chris gaines the vocals he laid down were amazing that gimmick could hav even huge kinda how hank 3 does a 3 hour show where 1 hour is metal/punk 1 hour is hillbilly and 1 hour is traditional country he could have filled staduims 1 set as Chris gaines and 1 set as garth.

Joe "mmmmmmmmm" Rogan

“Make him like an ugly, saddle worn dude” And if he did that, people would be criticizing him for doing that. I love the album and I feel like I’m one of the very few people that read the back of the CD where it explained it was going to be a movie.

This is gold. 😂 Garth is a troll.

I think the Chris Gaines personality is who Garth really is and the country music star we all know is his alter ego.

What genius told Garth that the Chris Gaines thing was a good idea 🥴🥹🤫

He looks like the lead singer of Three Days Grace lmao

I don't know man... It was like Zoolander. He definitely went way off the reservation!

Art should be allowed to be expressed in the moment and that’s it. So many critics and consume get fixed into a box of how they want artist work to be presented and forget to not judge the process. For instance, Prince has always had several different eras of his style, influence and faith that changed his style through the decades he was here blessing us. Kanye is probably the most successful artist know yo have changed his style, moniker, crafted several different ego’s and presentations for his work. Some have been more successful than others but his work is still appreciated by his fan base and more. Childish Gambino/The Boy/Donald Glover has experienced the same level of freedom with expressing his art as well
