you worked really hard on that, didn't you?

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 09:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Reason number ten, repeated ten times, is sufficient for me, but the other evidence can't hurt.

― Schwingung (Damian), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

He no longer hangs with a midget

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

He exists

― Schwingung (Damian), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 11:03 (twenty-two years ago)

He no longer hangs with a midget

That's hardly his fault. Also he has a recipe for deep fried turkey which involves 7-Up in the cooking process. This is amazing.

Apart from that obviously he is shit.

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 11:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Personally I hate virtually all music that "kids" are into anyway. Does that count as "kid rock"

(Oh, nevermind, the guy is awful too, so...)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

DJ Mencap OTM with the Kid's cooking technique. Recipes that feature syringes = classic.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Recipies that feature deep frying = k-classic. My girlfriend thinks deep frying a turkey is "trashy." I may have to leave her for Bulah Mae down the block, with the cutoffs and the grease on her tank top.

"Yodellin' in Da Valley"

i believe it was Canyon not Valley?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Kid Rock almost caused me to go buy a copy of Bad Company's 10 From 6, because his version of "Feel Like Makin' Love" is so atrocious it momentarily deluded me into fond nostalgia for the original. For this he must die.

― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Hongro sines his pitty on the punny kine.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

we went to a sushi restaurant the other day and they were playing the loudest shittiest trance all night. when the trance cd finally stopped, they put on kid rock. it sucked

― JaXoN (JasonD), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

He's fat? Weird. You're a brutal bummer. Not that I like Kid Rock or anything, but jeez.

― Ben Boyer (Ben Boyer), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

You're a brutal bummer

That's quite harsh

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

One of the photos on the CD that made him big a few years back looks EXACTLY like Boy George.

― Dave Fischer, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Devil Without a Cause is still fucking ace.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

The three albums since haven't been all that bad either, to be honest.

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

three? you're counting American Badass, I take it? or was most of that re-recorded?

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I'm including that one. The new one is kinda fun, by the way. I wrote a lick on it, but it won't run in the Voice for a couple weeks.

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Still need to play it.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

*American Bad Ass* had lots of outtakes & old bullshit & whatnot on it, but his last two "real" albums are just as hodgepodgey and messy. I just wish he'd release his live Seger/Nugent/Grand Funk/MC5/Eminem medley on an official album sometime, so I can get rid of what's just about the only live bootleg CD I own by anybody. I hate those things!

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:25 (twenty-two years ago)

He was sorta funny on the Simpsons, but like the past five years of that show, not nearly as funny as the writers thought it was.

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh, that sounds worthy. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

two important reasons that you forgot..
- "Only God Knows Why" is "Yellow Ledbetter" with different (and albeit more decipherable) lyrics.
- When he sings "I take the punk rock and I mix it with the hiphop," one begins to wonder what this man's perception of punk rock must be.

A few reasons why I do somewhat kind of respect him
- As far as I know, he plays all the instruments and produces his albums alone.
- The large kid running in the Bawitdaba video.
- No one really likes him anymore.

― billstevejim, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Rod Smith is reviewing Kid Rock and Toby Keith together for me. [[rubs hands together, cackles like maniac]]

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

>one begins to wonder what this man's perception of punk rock must be

ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, etc. And you know what? He's right.

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha!!! I was originally GOING to do Toby and Keith as licks together, with that dumb new Seger greatest hits thing. But then I decided it made more sense (both philosophically and for space reasons) to run my Toby lick alongside Merle Haggard instead. Toby's new album is fun, too, though lots of it, obviously, is also full of shit. "I Love This Bar" definitely has a shot at being one of my top ten singles.

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Bob Segar was garage rock back in the day, wasn't he? Although something tells me Kid Rock has never heard this era of Segar.

― billstevejim, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not really into "I Love This Bar," though it's grown on me. But "If I Was Jesus" is some kind of sick masterpiece.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

He grew up in Detroit = he's heard that era of Seger

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I meant Toby and Kid together, not Toby and Keith (who I did do together, since I couldn't figure out where to cut him in half.)

He covers "Ramblin Gamblin Man" as part of the medley, okay? And yeah, Seger's early singles are as punk as any music ever made.

Is "Yellow Ledbetter" like, a Pearl Jam song or something? I forget. "Only God Knows Why" is a great song either way, and unlike Eddie Vedder, Kid Rock is not the worst vocalist and human history. Also, it sounds a lot more like an Allmans ballad than like Pearl Jam.

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

...worst vocalist IN human history....(duh)

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Is "Yellow Ledbetter" like, a Pearl Jam song or something?

Some B-side that's allegedly worshipped. I've heard it once, I think.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

And oh yeah, he does not play all his own instruments. The Twisted Brown Trucker band, one of the more rocking bands on this planet (or at least they have one of the best drummers), play a lot of them.

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

i only know Kid Rock's singles but i'm not sure any of them are actual songs. not that there's anything wrong with that.

would eddie vedder still be the worst vocalist in human history (I won't argue this on the merits) if he were more intelligent? less? if he were from a red state?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I have no idea what his IQ is, to be honest. Many points lower than Kid Rock's though, I bet. Not that that has anything to do with his singing. Perhaps he'd be a better singer if he bought some Metamucil.

― chuck, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm wondering whether he changed the Seger portion of his Detroit medley. When I saw him in the summer of '02, he played the far-less-punkish-than-"Ramblin Gamblin Man" "Old Time Rock And Roll." Regardless, the medley was a nice addition to his set. (My friend and I left the show speculating whether other acts could attempt similar tributes to their geographical roots. Our most amusing idea was Rush concluding its show with a tribute to fellow Canadian acts, including Loverboy, Neil Young and Alanis Morissette.)

Anyway, Kid Rock's albums have struck me as a bit hard to get through, but "Cowboy" was one of my favorite radio/dance floor songs from the late '90s, and most of his other radio hits have been enjoyable.

― John Fredland (jfredland), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

One reason to love him:

"I like Johnny Cash and Grandmaster Flash"

― Ben Dot (1977), Thursday, 27 November 2003 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

C'mon, people, Coors Light is reason enough.

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

to hate, I mean. It tastes like piss, the owners are Nazis, and now every-other commercial during football games is an advertisement for this crap.

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

"he's NOT a cowboy" is my new favorite reason to hate someone

― jones (actual), Thursday, 27 November 2003 02:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, c'mon, he "can drink about fifteen heinekens".

Reason to love, as William Hague proved...

― Jacob (Jacob), Thursday, 27 November 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

So not one person on this thread has a problem with Kid Rock's relentless Bush-licking, rah-rah 'War on Terror' jingoism? This no-talent hillbilly stands out in my mind only because of one of his sickening music videos which showed "heart-warming" highlights of Kid Rock's let's-entertain-the-troops USO Afghanistan sojourn. Most stomach churning moment: Kid Rock "bonding" with US Army personnel loading missle into fighter plane; Kid Rock "autographs" said missle with magic marker - "To bin Laden, from Kid Rock" or some such SHIT then grins all aw-shucks sheepishly redneck and mugs for camera.

Ah, gee, ain't he cute and clever, ma? A real downhome nice boy after all.

FUCK THIS SHIT.

Five'll get you ten that that particular missle showered some godforsaken village, eliminated from existence (take your pick) who knows how many innocent men/women/children and NOT: a) Osama bin Laden, b) associates of bin Laden, c) etc., etc.

But who cares about that, eh? All in all, a nice photo op for that cornpone flag-waving no mark. Pimp of the nation? No, more like Bush's no. 1 bitch.

And don't even get me started about his association with that other no mark, right wing flag-waver, Hank Williams, Jr. and his "heathen muslims, we're gonna stick a redwhiteandblue boot up your ass an' send y'all to hell in a handbasket".

Never minding Kid Rock's hopelessly worthless/shitty music, how can anyone possibly stand to deal with this shit?

― Kjoerup, Thursday, 27 November 2003 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

lefties are so cute when they use classist terminology to denigrate poor people

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Cinniblount,

RE: the alleged "poor" people I mentioned in my post. I can assure you that:

1) Kid Rock has far more money in his bank account than I do. Hell, I bet that you have more money in your account than I do.

2) Hank Williams, Jr. was not born poor, has never been poor and will most likely never be poor.

3) G.W. Bush ... uh, don't think he ever was or will be either.

4) Osma bin Laden ... ditto

So what the fuck is your point??

― Kjoerup, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:12 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe blount thinks "troops" is classist?!?!?

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah you're right - hillbillies and rednecks ain't human! fuck the poor!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean - have you heard the way they talk?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:16 (twenty-two years ago)

kjoerup if you wanna compare bank account sizes feel free - I guarantee you mine's smaller

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:16 (twenty-two years ago)

"And yeah, Seger's early singles are as punk as any music ever made."

You don't have to put words in my mouth. I was noting that Bob Segar was, at one point, garage rock. Garage rock is a distant cousin of punk rock, so I think my statement was relevant.

Also, I agree about that video where Kid Rock performs for the USO show. Made me physically ill the first time I saw it.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:17 (twenty-two years ago)

blount read it again, he calls Kid Rock the hillbilly and redneck.

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:17 (twenty-two years ago)

you sure as fuck don't need to be poor to be a redneck

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:17 (twenty-two years ago)

esoj you need to read up on the origins of the term 'redneck' apparently

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Beverly Hillbillies to thread!

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:18 (twenty-two years ago)

howard dean also

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

so kjoerup you wanna compare bank accounts yet?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:21 (twenty-two years ago)

ha! My mom says the biggest redneck she ever met was from Vermont!

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:21 (twenty-two years ago)

blount you still haven't touched any of the substance of his argument re: Kid Rock's bullshit jingoism.

(I personally find his accepting Nazi beer money more troublesome, but that's me.)

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:22 (twenty-two years ago)

when he tells me which hank song that quotes from I'll respond

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Cinniblount,

No classism on my part, I assure you - and my grandmothers, grandfathers, great aunts and uncles, et al. all come from Okie and Cajun backgrounds.

Regardless, fuck! ATM machine told today that my checking balance is now down to $46.82. There's no savings account either.

Post grad school unemployment is fun fun fun. Plus those government fucks are after me to repay student loans. Maybe I'll send them part of my life savings: $46.82. Hahaha.

Is your's really lower than that? I hope not, because I don't wish this shit on ANYONE.

― Kjoerup, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

haha - mine is lower! (til friday)(hand to mouth baby!)

meanwhile, call me crazy but i'm not buying 'patriotic' + 'supports the troops' + 'hate bin laden' = 'republican' no matter what that current gop ad sez

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

well how about 'accepts money from corporation also known to support Republican causes?'

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

CHECK THIS OUT:

1) In 1988, Coors gave $10,000 to ACCURACY IN ACADEMIA: a right-wing watchdog group that spies on university professors who teach, in the words of AIA director Malcolm Lawrence, "incorrect information which leads to conclusions that may be distasteful from the point of view of our national heritage or national security." Offending professors are blacklisted and the AIA use economic pressure to have the instructor removed.

2) $5000 went to the COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL POLICY, a right-wing think tank that deals with national policy objectives. Members include such "luminaries" as Tim LaHaye, Jerry Falwell, Don Wildmon (head of the American Family Association-AFA), and Phyllis Schlafly (head of Eagle Forum), who helped Tipper Gore apply economic pressure on record chains. They are anti-ERA and wanted the Nazis to win against the USSR in World War II.

3) And $20,000 went to EDUCATION RESEARCH ANALYSTS, a group run by Mel and Norma Gabler who try to ban textbooks that espouse sentiments that they interpret to be unchristian, unpatriotic or anti-family. They also want all mention of the Great Depression stricken from the books because it places doubt on our capitalistic society, and think that certain mathbooks have to be altered because, "When a student reads in a math book that there are no absolutes, suddenly every value he's been taught is destroyed. And the next thing you know, the student turns to crime and drugs."

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

agreed both are bullshit, but the coors angle is alot stronger argument for the prosecution

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Kid Rock and the Heritage Foundation - both recepients of Coors largesse.

(same with Dr. Dre, Pharrell and Quincy Jones)

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:31 (twenty-two years ago)

an even stronger argument is 'he ain't as good as he used to be'

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean stence - are you boycotting neptunes or dre or quincy jones productions cuz of their coors association?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

so you're saying indie rockers with their tired-old "their early stuff is better" mantra have the best argument?

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

ha like I'd ever buy Dr. Dre, Neptunes, or Quincy Jones productions! Aside from maybe Thriller or N***a Please (I don't own either, but hopefully I'll get 'em used some day).

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:35 (twenty-two years ago)

wow, this thread went from Rock to Suck pretty damn fast.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:52 (twenty-two years ago)

"meanwhile, call me crazy but i'm not buying 'patriotic' + 'supports the troops' + 'hate bin laden' = 'republican' no matter what that current gop ad sez "

cinniblount,

But in Kid Rock's case the formula applies. Kid Rock is an admitted Bush supporter, Republican and Iraqi war supporter. His choice, surely, but call him for what he is (and unashamedly admits to being).

― Kjoerup, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:57 (twenty-two years ago)

While we're being all politial and shit, let me say I'm not bashing KR for supporting our troops. Hell, I support the troops and would gladly go play for them if anyone wanted me to. (They don't) But fuck ANYONE who uses said act in a video to sell his crappy fuckin' rekkids. And at the same time selling WAR to all those dumbass Kid Rock fans so they will sign up. "Hey Cody! Let's go to Irun or whatever that desert is and kick some towel-head ass. Kid Rock is there, dude! Maybe we will get to see Pam's titties, for real."

― Speedy Gonzalas (Speedy Gonzalas), Thursday, 27 November 2003 10:22 (twenty-two years ago)

One reason I love Britain is that no-one here knows or cares who Kid Rock is. I've never heard his music, yet he wins all these awards in America. Corporate scum.

― harveyw (harveyw), Thursday, 27 November 2003 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

1. Kid Rock is hardly the first asshole with dumbass political ideas to make some great music. Though I guess it's kinda refreshing to see there are still people out there who confuse ethics with aesthetics.

2. Maybe I'm wrong, but I assume whoever wrote this: >>Hank Williams, Jr. and his "heathen muslims, we're gonna stick a redwhiteandblue boot up your ass an' send y'all to hell in a handbasket"<<< was confusing Hank with Toby Keith, and misquoting both of them. Though if Hank Jr. actually said that, I'd still love to see where.

3. Garage rock and punk rock are hardly "distant" cousins. And while they're not always the same, Bob Seger's early music was both.

― chuck, Monday, 1 December 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

"3. Garage rock and punk rock are hardly "distant" cousins. And while they're not always the same, Bob Seger's early music was both."

My mistake, I understood your previous statement to be sarcastic due to the "and yeah" that preceeded it.

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

It's that dumpy beer-belly. I don't care if he has a gut , just don't highlight it with a tight wife-beater. It's like seeing a fat girl in bike shorts.

― Speedy Gonzalas (Speedy Gonzalas), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

It's like seeing a fat girl in bike shorts.

I don't care if you're a douche, just don't highlight it with douche statements.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

haha "the Douche Statements" sounds like some group you could hear at new band night at the Continental!

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I only got six or seven tracks into it, but what I heard off the new Kid Rock is even worse than Sea Change. It's like he took "Lonely Road Of Faith" and just RAN with it. Fuck, UNCLE KRACKER does this shit more intriguingingly now ("In A Little While" tops ALL of Kid Rock's attempts at Segerness).

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 1 December 2003 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

That he's about to get a Grammy nomination for that duet with Sheryl Crow.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I do love that Beck's descent into boring '70s schmaltz was less commercially successful than Kid Rock's (though maybe Glen Campbell albums did better than Gordon Lightfoot ones in the first place). Hell between the four-star review in Rolling Stone and the Grammys, Kid Rock's might even wind up as critically successful!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

he's been critically successful

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:23 (twenty-two years ago)

AS critically successful though?

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:24 (twenty-two years ago)

His music is irredeemably god-awful, and he is tasteless, uncouth and an affront to decency. I never!

All the flag-waving and the rest of it is just icing on the cake.

― Blood and sparkles (bloodandsparkles), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:32 (twenty-two years ago)

He's completely forgotten how to write a decent lyric too. I've been flipping through the words to the new album on some website and they are DRY, completely devoid of a one-liner half as good as needing to smoke three joints just to mow the lawn. There isn't even a "punk rock the Clash/ boy bands are trash!"

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:35 (twenty-two years ago)

he lost the eye of the tiger

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm wondering if Pamela Anderson is to blame for this. Actually the best review of recent Kid Rock I ever heard was from the mailman for the local record store. "He hasn't been the same since the midget died."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, that chuck guy is pretentious.

Oh, he writes for the Voice. I see.

I don't think anyone confuses ethics with aesthetics as much as they say "fuck, I'm not gonna give money to that shill for a shite war". Ethics trumps aesthetics sometimes, plus aesthetically, the music is fucking awful.

Then again sometimes I'm a contrarian too, and spend too much time defending Whitesnake.

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I take it no one noticed that Rock covered Johnny Cash's "What is Truth" at the recent tribute concert.

He also useta cover CCR's anti-Nam working class statement "Fortunate Son" years before Sleater Kinney ever did. And apparently (somebody I work with told me this, but it sounds like something he'd do) he was interviewed on Fox a couple weeks ago, and told them that he'd never watch the news on CNN as opposed to Fox because "who wants to sit and listen to all those boring FACTS?", har har. So yeah, there are a lot of contradictions in the man. Which is a GOOD thing, by the way.

Aesthetics-wise, we've just hit 100 posts and still no one has mentioned the great "Wasting Time", one of the best singles of '98.

The only interesting thing about this post would be if the name was supposed to reference Mark Blucas.

It WOULD be good if any of those inner contradictions helped him create memorable songs. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame won't be eulogising him in 50 years
