Musician Tries To Change His Identity And Fails

Don’t act like this isn’t just you, Danny. We’re too good at critical thinking for this.

Danny Gonzalez“how i tricked the internet into believing I was a country singer named Garth brooks”

I 100% thought that alter ego picture was onision

I genuinely thought that was Onision in the thumbnail

what garth loses, chris gaines.....

Chris Gaines sounds like an emo Deviantart OC with a very tragic backstory, I'm surprised he's not some sort of angel with eyes that change depending on his mood

Every time someone is both the host and musical guest on SNL I always want them to introduce themselves while sitting in the audience and then sprint on stage in a panic while their band starts playing

I remember this. What a weird stunt. 😂 Later when Chris Angel appeared I legit almost thought Garth was back at it again.

His alter ego in the thumbnail looks so much like onision, I took psychic damage from remembering he exists.

danny is every paul zimmer clone's worst fear

As an old…he really was hiding who he was. The single came out and Garths name or a project was never mentioned. Someone outed him, and people were laughing about it, and that’s when PR stepped in and the albums label was changed to put Garths name on the cover. He wanted us to believe Chris was real, the album was supposed to be ground breaking, and then he’d surprise us all that Chris was Garth all along. But it didn’t happen that way.

I wasn’t a country music fan, but he was say about 1/2 Taylor Swift popularity. In fact he’d be second I think in popularity as of now. But I understand he was put in a box and wanted to try something super different but fans would of just left if he said “I wanna go Emo”. But I think the overdone character just made people say wtf no matter what music we all liked. But his career still recovered and then he retired pretty early still hugely popular.

when you mentioned "was this as his career was starting to fade into irrelevance or is this at the height of his fame?" I laughed a little. just for background, he never really faded into irrelevance. he's STILL wildly successful. He regularly sells out stadiums and still makes new music. Friends in Low Places is in the top 5 on several country music charts, and is even #1 on a few.

Garth Brooks recently released an album exclusive to Bass Pro shops. So congratulations to him for continuing to have the weirdest instincts on the planet.

as someone with OCs its genuinely so real of him to just make every possible traumatic event to happen to chris gaines

silly danny has never heard of the absolute banger no skips album "hannah montana 2: meet miley cyrus" from like 2008

Honestly i love the idea of this project even if it was a flop

Danny, I am 43 and my daughter and I watch you together.😊 As a teenager during this time in Garth's life, I can tell you that Garth is trying so hard to rewrite history. At the time, Garth LIVED as Chris Gaines. Nobody ever mentioned "a movie" back then. He wore that wig full time and refused to answer to "Garth." It was confusing because Garth was "method acting" but acting like THE PUBLIC was crazy. The fact that they've rewritten history and lied about this fake movie and "the public wasn't ready..." 😂 We weren't ready to accept Garth selling us Chris Gaines was a real person. That wig must've squeezed his brain too tight! Great video, Danny, my daughter and I love your content! 🎉

Chris Gaines is just Garth’s dark and edgy OC you can’t not convince me that. The 90s weren’t ready for Gaines, but I think 2024 could be his year

Chris Gaines failed as a rock artist, but at the encouragement of his late father, Gaines became Garth Brooks, the country singer. As Garth Brooks, his career skyrocketed, but Chris's passion as a rockster still burns inside, believing that he can make it work as his true self and not having to hide behind the Garth Brooks facade anymore. However, the country star power was proven unstoppable. Chris maintained the monster he created, but deep down, he will always be Chris Gaines.

I love when an artist creates an OC and lives it
