Kid Rock (and Bud Light slap-fight) y’all

I’ve known him since 7th grade I’m 42 now. He used to come to my oldest sisters backyard parties every now and again at my parents. I started playing guitar summer of 7th grade and he always made time to talk to me and give me pointers. He was always cool to me as well. Csb

[jimmyjazz 45162]

Kid Rock gave you guitar pointers?  Were there no better teachers available?

He was giving tips on how to pretend to be southern white trash when your Dad owns the largest Lincoln/Mercury dealership in Detroit.

His childhood home had 7 bathrooms.  That's a rough upbringing.

I was a fan of Devil Without a Cause for about 9 months. I think his dumb shit was fun in May of 2000?

Look, that was 24 years ago.

Holy shit

Also I liked Limp Bizkit for about 7 months in 99.

I’m sure everyone else was listening to Pavement and Husker Du.

I was 13 when Devil Without A Cause came out ('99 IIRC) and I thought it was the greatest fucking thing I'd ever heard.  Of course, I was shitfaced (for the first time) in a pasture listening to it around a bonfire.

When he was first breaking through, Rolling Stone had an interview with him and it was at his parent's house.  His dad greeted the writer at the door and said "Welcome to the 8,000 square foot lake front double wide Kid Rock grew up in."

I was reading an Atlantic article on the Woodstock '99. There really was a small sliver of time '97-'01 maybe, when crap like Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock and Korn had the attention and buy-in of America's youth. Crazy.

I loved that shit for like a year (basically '98-'99).  When I heard (of all things) Blink 182 "What's My Age Again" I immediately swerved towards punk and that took me completely away from the ragey nu metal shit for good.  Within a couple of years I'd picked up everything from the Velvet Underground to Phish.

[Horn Dogg 3726]

Was anyone else here at the Warped tour in about 1998 at South Park Meadows?  Kid Rock got on stage before anyone knew who he was and basically got booed out of there.  It was mostly a punk rock/ska type audience and the crowd wasn’t having his shit.  He got mad and said “fuck you Austin, I can play some fucking Hank Williams if you want.”  It spiraled downhill from there.

 
Oh, and Limp Bizkit sucks!

Just because you know it doesn't mean everyone does.  I have the same thought when I see memes or tweets posted in the holy shit/lol/cool threads that I saw years ago, and then I remind myself that not everyone consumes way too much fucking internet every single day of their lives.  Same w/ recruiting news or CFB history.  I can't shit on someone who comes across new info and is excited about it just because I have known about it for 6 months or 10 years.

[aggie08 20343]

Why the fuck would absolutely everyone know the personal history of Kid Rock?

I was there but don't remember that.  I was probably at the other stage listening to Cowboy Mouth cause my gfs favorite song was Jenny Says.

I was there. I remember that. And I was also dragged to the other stage by the girl I was with at the time to hear a song that was “going to change my life”.

Fucking Jenny Says.

Nope, you can’t. I was in with it too. Thankfully Pantera saved me. Though I had a strong background of Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, PJ, Nirvana, and STP before that, but we all slide to the dark side sometimes when we are young and dumb.

I normally scroll past your posts, but for whatever reason this one caught my eye. I’m genuinely curious what you mean here. I see lots of posters here that acknowledge their background of privilege and, at the same time, acknowledge that the party that they grew up with has shifted in a very different direction over the past 20 years. Is it not possible to acknowledge that both people and political parties evolve in their ideologies?

I don't think I've read anyone ever accuse Kid Rock of being a Nazi. That would require sincere conviction. This is the thread to laugh at his sellout ass and mock any morons who fall for it.

Try to keep up.

It means I find the hypocrisy highly comical that people want to gatekeep what Kid Rock can or cannot sing or perform like because of where and how he was raised.  Further that anyone gives enough of a shit about Kid Rock to produce a custom animated gotcha video in regards to his upbringing in 2024 and think that’s breaking news.

Kid Rock can sing any way he wants, just like Beyonce can put out a country music album.  Whats the fucking problem with any of it?  They both can sign up to do a monastic chants/polka fusion album. Fuck the god damn gatekeeper bullshit.

So you’re worked up about someone on Twitter and/or TikTok doing a lame take down of Kid Rock, but the mis/disinformation that gets posted doesn’t get your goat? Weird thing to worked up about my friend.

[jimmyjazz 45162]

I don't care that Kid Rock assumed an inauthentic persona when he started releasing music, but I do care that his music sucks ass.
