Hellbound Glory's 'Hellbound Blues': See Video
Leroy Virgil
Hellbound Glory's Leroy Virgil  isn't afraid to explore the lows to which desperate people will sink. In fact  it's kind of the Reno  Nevada native's forte. As far as lows go  robbing a strip club would seem to rank pretty high on the list  and that's just what  Virgil  does in the new video for the band's grungy country rocker  "Hellbound Blues."

"Cocaine  Kurt Cobain  I've been blowing up my fucking brains " goes the opening line of "Hellbound Blues " a line that proves prophetic in the video  which was directed by Bob Wayne.  Virgil  and a female love interest show up to rob a strip club in the middle of the day  and hit an unexpected jackpot upon emptying the cash registers: a small mountain of cocaine. The two celebrate by snorting the haul back at their place  but the party quickly nosedives as  Virgil 's partner overdoses and  he  commits suicide with the shotgun that  he  just used in the robbery. In typical Hellbound Glory fashion  no grisly detail gets spared.
The video's lurid  violent subject matter already seems to have angered some of the band's fans  prompting a video response from  Virgil . "I understand. I get it. I feel you on that "  he  says. "I don't really like it that much either because I guess I just prefer comedy over drama but I think that Shooter [Jennings] and Bob [Wayne] both did a really good job on it  making it and creating it."
