Bobby Bones revealed the Top 5 country artists he wouldn’t want to get in a bar fight with, and Brantley Gilbert had the best response.
“Hey @mrbobbybones see ya at the bar?” Gilbert captioned the response on social media.
Bones picked the Top 5 artists he’d never fight, appropriately opening the video with “Small Town Throwdown,” Gilbert’s 2014 hit featuring Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett. The list included, from bottom to top, Trace Adkins, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Billy Currington and, at No. 1, Gilbert — and the “One Hell Of An Amen” singer had some thoughts.
Gilbert shared a clip of Bones explaining that Lambert made the Top 5 because even though she’s “not a like a big, strong dude, I wouldn’t mess with her I’m gonna be honest with you,” Bones said. “Ain’t crossing her.” He explained that even though Gilbert has “softened a lot,” Gilbert was the No. 1 country artist Bones wouldn’t want to fight in a bar: “I probably wouldn’t even be in the kind of bar that he’s in because I’m not tough enough to even get in a bar that Brantley Gilbert would be in because that’s probably a bunch of tough guys,” Bones thought (he clarified at the end, however, that he doesn't want to fight anyone, and “if you’re watching this right now, you can probably beat me up”).
But Gilbert had a different idea — and even suggested which artist he’d bump to the No. 1 spot instead.
“Hey, yo, Bobby. Just wanna tell you man, you’re always welcome in any bar that I’m at,” Gilbert invited. Then he dished: “I do think that (the) No. 3 should’ve been No. 1, because I gotta tell you bro: I ain’t even messing with Miranda Lambert.”
