Brantley Gilbert has a kind heart for hurricane victims, but not so much for hecklers. He shared a story with Taste of Country Nights about a bar fight he was once in that involved Colt Ford. The “Bottoms Up” singer said the incident happened in a “hole-in-the-wall bar” during one of Colt Ford’s first live performances.
“He walked on stage and in the middle of the song, during the guitar solo, and I looked at him and said, ‘As soon as this song’s over, I’m gonna get the dude in the red hat, you get the dude in the blue shirt.'”
