Can’t blame them for firing him. That’s totally disrespectful.

Never seen Eric Church in concert, but have seen Rascall Flatts. When you are opening act you should have the decency to be on time. Him being 90mins late cuts into R F show time. Eric is scheduled for a certain amount of time so that the headliner can get their full show time in. Afterall a concert is only 3 hrs. total with about 30 mins for take down of one and set up of the other.

I'm not a big Rascal Flatts fan, but that was totally disrespectful. He was trying to make his Waylin Jenning rebel image more than anything.

This isn't being "cool". To have that tour at that stage in his career it really should have been something he was extremely gracious for. Folks true colors shine through but its up to you to believe them. It doesn't matter if you like Rascal Flatts or not...its flat out disrespect and purposefully done. NOT COOL

Here's the thing. As the opening act you are employed which means you have a boss. RF took the time to explain to him why time limits are so important. And to be nice enough to add time at beginning only to have him show late and then go over 20min definitely shows a lack of respect. Can't blame them from firing him. Hiring Swifty to replace him however is another question all together. I would take talent over punctuality every time personally speaking. 😆

If the show is *SCHEDULED* to start at 7:00, then you start sometime around 7:00. He doesn't need to wait 'until a certain number of tickets are scanned.' 🙄 That's not an excuse whatsoever. He's the ONLY artist I've ever been aware of that consistently 99% of the time starts an hour and a half freaking after he's scheduled to go on. (Ever think some people show up late now because they know that 99% of the time he's going to start an hour and a half late??) You think each show had its own feel? What does that have to do with anything?? Literally nothing. 🙄 Whatever unique feel you think each show has, I guarantee you the one thing they have in common is that they all started around an hour and 20 minutes late. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Absolutely not. You start ON TIME. If someone shows up late for the show then that's on them if they miss some songs. It's ridiculous. *People have lives. People have kids to get home to, babysitters to relieve and jobs to get to the next day.* What excuse does he have for the Rascal Flatts situation? Showing up late and not stopping at the appropriate time costing them thousands of dollars? Can't use the old 'waiting for tickets to be scanned excuse on that one.' 👍 ( Or why he's so drunk during some of his shows causing them to be an utter disappointment and definitely not worth the ticket cost? Can't make sure you're sober for 3 freakin hours? 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️) My 'hobby' used to be traveling and attending shows. I had friends in the industry who would hook me up at times. I've been to hundreds of various shows over the course of my lifetime. Again, he's the ONLY artist I know of that starts around an hour and 20 minutes late for 99% of his shows. Give me a break. Start showing up on time and people will learn to be there around the time listed. Like I said, if someone misses some songs that's part of the natural consequences of showing up late. What would happen if you showed up for work everyday an hour and 20 minutes late? You think that would fly? You don't put people out like that. Especially when they're paying to see you.

The first time I heard EC I was all in…I LOVE his music. My view of him changed when I saw him at Red Rocks a few years ago. We weren’t informed he was playing acoustic without his band, and I was really looking forward to the energy rock vibe that he is known for. We enjoyed the show for what it was worth but what turned me off is that he didn’t interact with the audience at all. This was a time to really connect with the audience on a more intimate level and it was almost like he didn’t want to be there. I’m trying not to let that experience taint my love for the music, but image is important at the end of the day. Kinda bummed…my bubble has burst.

I have worked in the Entertainment Industry for several years and there are certain rules that are observed. Your word is your bond and People talk. If you are the Opening Act, you are not the Headliner. They are paying you to open for them and not the other way around. If you feel like it is too much, then swallow your pride, respect your contract and take your earnings and book a solo tour next season. If you continue to do something you were asked not to you WILL be sent home. It doesn't matter if you are the Opening Act, the Guitar Tech, Front of House Engineer or the Production Roadie that won't stop pooping on the Tour Bus...your going home and it WILL be talked about and you just may not be getting that phone call to Tour next season. It is a privilege and an honor to work on Tour in this profession and you need to act like it. Otherwise get a job rolling road cases or playing in the local dive bar. Don't be a punter.

Just ripping off the bandaid. He needs to headline, not open.

I mean his song Mr Misunderstood pretty much explains things easily…just listen to the words closely

When you are an opener and just comin out you follow the rules and you respect those that are helpin you. Period. You don’t do what you want.

Never heard of him! Don't care for anyone with that kind of attitude.

As far as the fans go you're not there and buy your tickets to see the OPENING ACT you're there to see the HEADLINER. The And !!!!

Could of been said in 1 minute. Old news ..

I thought I clicked on a Will Forte sketch muh bad

We all have rules we have to play by.

Dang they fired me?

Omg 10 minutes late and 20 minutes over!!! What a monster lol

Church is talented but gives on that cringe middle aged fonzy wanna be vibe his whole vibe is extreme arrogance and ego. the funny thing is he and his fans think he is outlaw country but honestly a lot of his stuff is pretty mainstream, just because it's not bro country doesn't make it outlaw.

Eric is from the small town adjacent to mine.. so he’s a pretty big deal around here.. but I’ve just never been a fan. I love COUNTRY, but that’s not what I hear in his music. All the songs sound similar.. like AC/DC and Kenny Chesney 😂. Plus, he is notorious for being late. You’re a Star, young man. Act like it.

Rascals Flatts are divas

They suck

I love Rascal Flatts forever ♾️❤️

He's country musics bad boy for a reason

Not to mention at the time of Eric's firing, he had released "Two Pink Lines" as the second single from "Sinners Like Me". That song stirred up controversy with radio listeners, because of its subject matter of teenage pregnancy.

I was at one of the shows and the whole crowd was chanting for church to keep playing.... so maybe rascal really wasnt happy with being showed up🤷‍♂️. Because the crowd was definitely louder and more involved woth church on the stage

I never have thought Eric Church was all that good myself. But many people disagree with me and that's okay.

Cracks me up when people call rule-followers "sheep." Usually, that type of person is all about breaking rules in the name of "freedom" until someone smashes up their chosen set of standards and rules. Every one needs to follow some rules in life for people to be able to live. To equate being rude, not following rules and not really caring how your choices impact anyone else with true freedom or a person's talent seems really kind of dumb. I agree with the other comments that say it doesn't really matter what one thinks about either group/person's talent. Talent was NOT the issue.

I have never been a fan of Rascal Flatts ever. Just never enjoyed their music. I want to see them with a friend of mine. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I don’t know much about Eric Church i’ve never listen to it.

Thumbnail made it sound like he was a member of Flatts

I love Eric church ge never disappoints. Coming from a granite falls native thank you Eric!

@@badbetty76 He has plenty of respect for others. Part of his act is playing overtime though. Rascal Flatts should also have played overtime to compensate. They gave him a very short window of a set, less than 20 mins. Thats insulting to any artist

@@JohnGormleyJG Not when he cancels on you at the last freaking minute so he can go to a basketball game. 🙄 Or the show where he showed up drunk as a skunk an hour late and sucked! That's NOT "plenty of respect for others." Neither is not sticking to proper conduct and the rules on the tour which was NOT HIS. You can't just assume it's okay to 'play overtime.' Maybe you need to listen to the piece again. It costs thousands of dollars to do so. The guy is a pompous ass. If he doesn't start changing his behavior he's going to be on borrowed time. No one is irreplaceable.

That's not right what's wrong with it taking a little extra time he should have it he's done got his career ready for him anyway he don't need them

Later that year, I think, Eric Church was opening for Bob Seger. Guess he wasn’t nuclear to Rock and Roll.

Talent aside, you're talking logistics and unions I.A.T.S.E. to be precise. If Church goes over, Church pays. That's the way it's done.
