2. He is a huge phony.

Although his vulgar behavior seems genuine.

[backwoodsbob]

3. how is he a phony?

this should be good since I knew him before he got big

[PassingFair]

10. In just about EVERY way.

17. Snopes is starting to irritate me

Can't we just say Kid Rock is?

I may be out of line.

:think:

[madeline_con]

32. Kid Rock may be Hank's love child, so he's a phony?

:wtf:

[sasquatch]

46. Agreed!

:thumbsup:

[Pale Blue Dot]

4. You mean the guy who thinks he's worthy to steal from Warren Zevon?

:rofl:

The question is, why is there any Kid Rock love?

[backwoodsbob]

5. he stole more from Seger and aerosmith than anyone

dont see them complaining.

Amazing how people dog on anyone who seems southern

I LOVe how people try to pull obscure singers to try to get their music creds

[Pale Blue Dot]

11. 1. I said nothing about southern - you did.

2. Warren Zevon, obscure? What are you, 12? Rock's new song "All Song Long" is built on the riff from Zevon's "Werewolves of London".

3. Warren Zevon can't complain, because he's DEAD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Zevon

On edit: Here's Werewolves of London. Sound familiar?

[Rhythm]

34. You mean "All Summer Long"???"

I hate the song, at first because of the sample of Zevon's "Werewolves"...
Lynard Skynard's "Sweet Home Alabama" clinches the deal... makes it even worse.

[Inchworm]

6. I've slept in dumpsters, got high with kings...

My favorite.. so true.

Ok, he is a sexist, phobic, freak egotistic dude from detRiot, but I like the vibe.. built in rage usually.

:headbang:

[backwoodsbob]

7. a young kid with talent

he learned.TRUST ME..he learned.

He got dogged in Detroit for some of his early stuff.

Have you listened since he grew up?

[Inchworm]

8. Listening.. but

I hate the "sell out" thing that most bands do.

Kinda like what he "bit" from Aerosmith... their style... from Back in the Saddle to Ragdoll.

I miss the old cocky Kid Rock from hell.

:)

[PassingFair]

13. I have a couple of folks living in Rochester now

They may not be "from" there, but Detroit is part of their life.

I'm not defending Kid Rock by saying he is lowdown dirty white trash that society has shat on. I'm saying he can talk shit from 25 miles away. So what, it's a message for those that may be 25 miles away from his home.

By doing that he may "rap" cool shit that I dig.

:hi:

[PassingFair]

15. His father OWNED a car dealership.

I don't think he grew up in a manner that would
explain his greasy, unkempt and generally white-
trash persona.

[Inchworm]

19. Devil without a cause?

Rich people give cash to their organizations. He "gave" in other ways. He gives energy.

20. Phony without a pause!

:rofl:

[Inchworm]

21. hehe

:yourock:

So glad this this didn't deteriorate into hate.

:loveya:

[PassingFair]

22. To each his own....

I secretly idolize Freddy Mercury!


:hide:

[Inchworm]

23. Well...

I dig him too!

I like art and expression. All rules to me. I just observe and clap when needed hehe

:woohoo:

[RadiationTherapy]

12. F the purists. When people WHINE about selling out, I always say...

working 40hours a week SUUUUUCCKS! Where do I friggen SIGN???

[Raffi Ella]

14. I love his sound

LOVE it but then I saw him talking about poilitics - He's a republican isn't he? I got the distinct impression that he was; haven't listened to him since I came to that conclusion.

[sniffa]

16. 1. He's terrible

2. He went from a crappy rapper (with one of the most ridiculous hairdos ever) to a crappy "rocker".

3. He tried to make white trash cool.

4. He's a fucking dirtbag.

[PassingFair]

18. You forgot phony....

FAKE white trash.

[backwoodsbob]

24. I guess knowing him before he got big means I'm trash

WHO CARES what he is?

Does he play music that makes you groove?
I just dont get it

[sniffa]

25. He plays music that makes me puke in my mouth

I just don't get anyone who likes it.

[Inchworm]

26. Dude.. you could sooo get me

;)

[PassingFair]

31. Look pal, your OP asked, "Why all the Kid Rock hate?"

I'm only answering your question.

If you had said simply "I love Kid Rock...."

I wouldn't have posted in your thread.

[Inchworm]

36. Wanna dance?

Pick a song hehehe

:hug:

[LostInAnomie]

27. Because he's corny as an Iowa turd.

Anyone that has to work that fucking hard trying to establish an "outlaw bad-ass" persona is a fucking joke. I was kind of glad that I hadn't heard anything from him in years until he put out that shitty "Werewolves of London" rip-off.

[Inchworm]

28. Would Idaho turds be potatoey?

:rofl:

[Robeson]

43. self-delete...

...posted to wrong post.

[Runcible Spoon]

29. the correct question is "why Kid Rock love" in ANY amount?!

:puke:

washed-up little wanna be who jumped the shark the minute he removed his head from between Pam Anderson's cleavage.

[backwoodsbob]

30. kk

41. I'm sorry, I saw the words "Jimmy" and "Kimmel" and I had to shut it off.

sorry :evilfrown:

[aquaman]

33. I don't hate him....

I just think that his "music" sucks.

[Fran Kubelik]

35. Are you Kid Rock?

Bob? Zat you?

[Inchworm]

37. No! Me is yo!

:*

[mitchum]

38. Because he's no Jim Dandy Mangrum?

I have nothing against white trash rock, but Kid Rock is just not very good

[HughBeaumont]

39. Because his music isn't even good enough to suck.

Bad at rapping, worse at rock and the pinnacle of lame in country. I mean, who the hell steals one of Metallica's worst riffs for a song?

Topped off with his Bewsh-supporting rhetoric and well, it's a pile of pigshit, money. What I don't get is how people can like music so phenomenally derivative and awful in so many aspects (see: Insane Clown Posse, for instance)? It's not even a "so bad it's good" thing like The Shaggs or Sampson; I would just expect people to know the difference between what goes into making even a semi-classic collection of songs vs a pile of hamfisted "Ah Luv This Bawr" LCD horseshit.

42. I don't hate him

He just hasn't done anything worth remembering.

[Inchworm]

44. Come back home...

This song is eerie to me cause teh ole lady tried to make me listen...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kskFvErnVQ

She shoulda died in a fire though.

:hi:

[noamnety]

45. This thread is a joke, right?

Please tell me you aren't seriously confused as to why people might not like that misogynistic shitforbrains.
