'One of my many pet peeves is the fact that we live in a society nowadays when people don't get punched in the face anymore,' said Gilbert.
In a minute-long rant posted onto social media, Gilbert tells the crowd that he doesn't understand society nowadays and says the Aldean situation made him"mad as hell."
Aldean's new song"Try That in a Small Town" has been criticized for allegedly promoting gun violence while some have suggested its video has racist themes. The song received little backlash when it was first released in May, but the music video was released on July 14, which gave it a wider audience. The accusations of racism stem from the fact that Aldean sings in front of the Mary County Courthouse, a building in Columbia, Tennessee, that was the site of race riots in 1946 and the 1927 lynching of an 18-year-old Black man.
