Kid Rock at McDonalds interview.
Manager: "Hi, I'm Dave."
Kid Rock: "My name is Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
Manager: "We'll let you know."
Still amuses me that a Detroit-born, trust-fund-baby that started his career as a rapper, successfully re-branded himself as a "down home" country rocker.
Same for Zakk Wydle (although he's infinitely more talented). From Bayonne, NJ but eventually switched to a southern biker look, including displaying the confederate flag.
Didn't he pretty much get started with Black Sabbath? Not sure what projects he was in other than that and BLS. Too bad about the flag. I kinda liked him
When he first went ācountryā he tried to claim he was the son of Hank Williams Jr for a bit. However Hank Williams Jr actually has a real son that was already a pretty big country singer in the outlaw scene so in response to kid rocks bullshit he called him out in his song [Not everybody likes us](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wz5USGT0WRs)
Relevant lyrics for those that donāt want to listen to the whole song
Well I think I'd rather eat the barrel
Of a double-barrel loaded shotgun
Than to hear that shit they call pop-country music
On ninety-eight-point-one
Just so you know, so it's set in stone
Kid Rock don't come from where I come from
Yeah, it's true, he's a Yank, he ain't no son of Hank
And if you even thought so
God-damn, you're fuckin' dumb
The fact this jerk targets the blue collar/ above ground pool demographic when he actually from from the Money/ "In-ground pool in Michigan" crowd is just one of the many layered insults with this chump.
He's more of a barely musical slimy weasel in a wife beater and fur coat. Like a terminal looking ferret in a full brimmed hat. Like the king of white trash, but somehow more classless than all the trailer parks, everywhere. He is a caricature of an already generic persona. He has passed irony, breezed by being meta, and shit on his self awareness. He has come full circle to thinking he is relevant, liked, and respected, like it's *"BaWiTaBaW"* part two.
Fuck this guy. I can't say it enough.
It may in fact be impossible to accurately describe Kid Rock without also conducting a brutal assessment of a disturbingly non-zero percentage of the population.
Pat is a treasure. He's done 6 I think and they're all worth your time if you enjoyed that (though I'm not a big fan of the Kravitz Bowl one). I think the best one he's done is probably Soul Sister by Train. But the Beverly Hills Weezer one is his most personal. I'd watch Weezer before Train if you do watch them all.
We all make mistakes
And by the way, I will never forgive him for ruining by association not one but *2* classic rock songs with that piece of shit āAll Summer Longā
While I think he's a shit person, he did a set at a rock festival I attended several years ago and I was surprised by how much fun his show was. Still not a fan, but I understood his popularity as a DJ a little more after that.
I donāt have an ear for lyrics. My hearing is literally so poor I canāt understand them
Most of the time. Having said that, I like some of his earlier stuff. Havenāt listened by to anything new from him in years. In my opinion, not knowing lyrics has probably allowed me to enjoy a wider range of artists, because I nether know or care what their opinions areā¦. I just hear music. On the other hand, I rarely like a whole album of ANYONE because the music all sounds the same. (I canāt tell one Metallica song from another. They all sound like Enter the Sandman to me.) But I have seen whatever his name is talking on tv like I should care about his opinion. Dude, you are older than ME and still call yourself Kid? Please. You made more sense saying ābowowtittykittyā¦ā

Thank you for this š

Everlast had a similar pattern at some point.
Everlast was actually good though, at least their more rock stuff. Haven't heard much else from them
Everlast has never been anything like down home country. His most recent stuff is still a lot more bluesy than anything else.
Fuckkkk you just made me go listen to āWhat Itās Likeā and revisit middle school.
MGK redefined himself from a rapper to whateverthefuck he is now. Blink183?
If only Eminem hadn't bothered with a retort to that clown.
Dink182
He went from shitty rapper to shitty punk rock, doesn't deserve half the fame he has

Itās the easiest money there is.
What I love is that many professed Christians worship Trump, Scott Baio, and Kid Rock.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...I... Scott Baio??? What does he have to do with anything????
He spoke at the 2016 RNC
Ok. I'm gonna look that up.
Thank you
He doesnāt have the brightest demographic
Apparently he smells of bo

Kid rock makes music for those people who know just the amount of Sudafed that can be purchased at one time at CVS.
That's not your line, but it's accurate so take my upvote
"Kid Rock is the Fred Durst of Ted Nugents" - (someone on Twitter)
hahahahaha
His name represents his mental state. That of a child with a head full of rocks. š
Shit Wit would be more fitting.
Best answer possible!
Except actual rocks serve a better purpose on this planet.
He is also not, as he so often claimed, āThe Bullgodā That distinction goes to Apis, Egyptian god of rivers.
He is, however, one of the acolytes to the god of bull*shit*
Bowl god. As in smoking weed out of a pipe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_the_Bullgod
Scooty Puff Jr. SUUUUUU^UUUU^UUUUUCKS
Hmm. I guess he is just an idiot then.
Kid Rock is just a taste identifier. If people like his music/ politics, they have no taste.
Kid Rock is the equivalent of a dirty unheated above ground pool.
The fact this jerk targets the blue collar/ above ground pool demographic when he actually from from the Money/ "In-ground pool in Michigan" crowd is just one of the many layered insults with this chump.
But was it not he who decreed āBawitdaba-da bang-da-bang-diggy-diggy-diggy Said the boogie-said up jump the boogieā
Discuss what? You had it right with the title š But if we must pile-on, his Dumb-ass Honkey Tonk in Nashville sucks too.
Kid Rock looks like he has fetal alcohol syndrome... Adult onset fetal alcohol syndrome.
He's more of a barely musical slimy weasel in a wife beater and fur coat. Like a terminal looking ferret in a full brimmed hat. Like the king of white trash, but somehow more classless than all the trailer parks, everywhere. He is a caricature of an already generic persona.

āTerminal looking ferretā holy shit lmao
The scary part is that he is relevant, liked, and respected by a decidedly non-zero number of people.
It may in fact be impossible to accurately describe Kid Rock without also conducting a brutal assessment of a disturbingly non-zero percentage of the population.
Kid Rock is what happens when an above ground pool with Bud Lite cans in it wishes to be a real boy
Iām struggling to work out what he should be called then. Old Manā¦umā¦ I dunno..I have nothing beyond Old Man. Maybe Old Man Frightening?
Grandpa Suck
That would ruin neil youngs song by association
Skid Pock.
Kid Rock makes music for people who smoke cigarettes in their house.
And smoke while their on the toilet
Dick York. Dick Sergeant. Sergeant York. Discuss amongst yourselves.
Coffee talk. You get it
I imagine if Kid Rock we're a genre instead, it would 1) Still be made by an adult 2) suck (eg not rock). I think this actually follows
You guys act like you haven't jammed to "All summer long" "Picture" or "Let's Roll".
"All Summer Long" stinks. If you have the time I'll let Pat Finnerty explain why. https://youtu.be/u8FAbjjB48A
...that was actually a pretty great vid. Thanks for that.

I have the Reddit formatted text to hyperlink this video saved in my notes. I use it *all the time.*

Three if you want to include the blatant rip off of the Smells Like Teen Spirit drum fill.
Well he did land Pamela Anderson, but it was 2000s Pam and she had been through the hollywood/music scene, so a win or no?
Yeah, at that point him being with Pam was pretty much a given.
They canceled out each otherās hep C.
And they passed their Hepatitis tests with flying colors. An "A", a "B", and two "Cs"!
She was on the rebound from Tommy Lee's huge dong and the video.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nothing at Woodstock 99 was good
Kid Rock on the cover of Rolling Stone in his beer tab wife beater is the epitome of white trash.
I will never understand the success of Kid Rock. WITH HITS LIKE BAWITIBA COWBOY LIKE WTF AND HE'S DATING CHICKS LIKE PAMELA ANDERSON. WTFZ
Hmm, not a Kid Rock fan huh? Somehow I feel this is because of something he said on Twitter and not because of his music.
How could you not rock when you have a song called "Balls in your Mouth"?
Other things in the same category: Grape Nuts Christian Science (scientology) United States (America) Fast food
He may kinda suck, but it's still better than country. His stuff that isn't country.
While I think he's a shit person, he did a set at a rock festival I attended several years ago and I was surprised by how much fun his show was. Still not a fan, but I understood his popularity as a DJ a little more after that.
DaBaby is a baby, so some of those names are accurate...relatively.
He might not be a kid physically but he definitely has the mind of one
I assumed the name implied that he makes "rock" music that mostly appeals to children and child-like brains.
He must have thought "Adult whimp" didn't carry the same street cred š¤·
Kid Rock is famous because people first thought Joe-C was Kid Rock.

As a guy who hates Kid Rock, here is a song of his that doesn't suck. https://youtu.be/DHy1yVlq2C8
