    Show Update

    February 09, 2011

    It's this simple, If you bought tix to tonights show and can't make it, YOU WILL BE GETTING A REFUND, STRAIGHT OUT OF MY POCKET. I've never ripped any of my fans off, EVER!!! I have also NEVER missed a show. I know there are people who drove here from Memphis and Oklahoma, been in there cars all day driving and dealing with this shitty weather, the same as me and my band have the WHOLE TOUR. You so called "fans" on my website bitchin and moanin and saying i'm greedy, can GO FUCK YOURSELVES, plain and simple. Throw out my cd's and lose my number, I don't want drama kings and queens like yall anywhere around myself, band, crew, family or my fans.

    Thank you to the real fans who not only understand my situation but defended me. It's not easy to tour in these conditions and also be stuck on the road with a teenage son at home and in high school. I make alot of money, no question, but i've never ripped anyone off to do it. I have sacraficed alot to live this dream and play music for all of you, i wouldn't trade it for the world, but the fact remains. To the people who made it too tonights show, I WON'T LET YOU DOWN. Now, time to make a set list and get ready to ROCK. Hope everyone traveling gets here safe!! Kid Rock (straight from the dressing room!)

The only greedy asses I can see are the idiots that expect you to risk your own ass for thier entertainment, but yet they bitch about having to drive to work in the same shit you are coming through....so tell ya what, all you so called fans that suffer from that rare disease that causes paralisis from the neck up...you ain't shit... Kid if your band is ever in southwest Iowa and need to stop or just hide from the crazy people, my home is your home.....thank you for all you do...you are a true stand up and deliver kind of guy.....

Baby rock on! Admire your honesty, bluntness and dedication to your music and your family. I have teenagers and know how hard raising them can be without being on the road and long distance. My teenagers think we should date! lol hmm? funny shit! But we do have a lot in common. Loved the show in Saginaw and wish I was there tonight. Stuck in MI in the snow!!

Why are you letting them push your buttons? Life is too short! Fuck them! The majority know you're an honest guy. There's always gonna be someone bitching and whining. Can't please them all. Can't control Mother nature! Rock on and do what you do best!

We'll I was part of the Wichita Ks. show that was almost canceled. And I'm glad the show went ON!!!! You see I have seen KID ROCK 3 times and each time I see him I'm blown away by how much more VERSATILE he gets!!!!! Ya his music speak's for it's self but when you see him and his band in concert you really gain a respe...ct for him and how hard his band works, And I think for people that had not been to one of his shows really got to see how versatile he is the other night!! I thought it was very cool to see KID working his CRAFT with Jamey's band on his song "COWBOY" thats is something i'll remember. I just wanted to Thank him and his band for workn so hard to make this thing a go. It would have been so easy to call it off but thinks for making me one of your biggest fans and Wichita Ks as important as one of your big venues!!! THANKS AGAIN Much RESPECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See More

ROCK....YOU RULE!! I don't know how you do it. I'm amazed at how you got yourself to where you are. You never let the haters tear you down. I give you a lot of credit....you had the dream and the drive. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll be here singing along with ya! I have two boys that I'm raising myself and I know what its like to try and teach them right from wrong....money or not as long as I raise good, honest boys thats all that matters. Be safe....have a blast and give em hell!! Peace, luv & etc.... Jipz

That's very generous of you, Kid. Wish more artists were like you. You really do care about your fans. Think that you offering the refund is awesome. Wish I could have made it out, us here in Arkansas just aren't used to these snow storms, sucks it had to happen on your concert date here but it's nature and no one can help that. Thanks again, Kid. Best of luck for the show tonight. =) I'll catch ya next time. And dont' listen to the haters, some people just can't deal with a little bad luck weather and want to blame you because they can't make it out, safety's priority but to take it out on you was wrong. You keeping the show going means alot to those who traveled a long time to get there to see you. Rock on.

Hey I am with you Fuck them all. I am in Tucson Arizona - we had a freeze go thru here last week that broke 85 water lines, froze 30 heat pumps etc out of my 200 rental homes I manage! 1000's of people lost water and heat for days due to the main line blowing because of overusage (Tucson is not prepared for natural disaster - too many people not enough resources). Many of people still out of water and heat for almost a week now. AND MY TENANTS are yelling at me to put them up in a hotel - as if I caused Mother Nature to send the freeze. Because of my connections with companies, these tenants were lucky that we had their water lines and heat repaired within 2-3 days - Many people are still waiting out there!!! (I am just venting cuz people can really make u mad no matter what you do for them) - Mother Nature took over here (maybe we even caused it due to the global warming problems). Screw them if they cant see that. I hate to see what the people of this world will be like, when there is a really really really bad natural disaster. Just keep rockin cuz no one can ever take that away from you! :)

Dear Rock & Roll Jesus, As part of your congregation let me just say this one thing right here: Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. It is with sheer ignorance that they speak. We know you, what you represent and what you bring to our souls. truly. THANK YOU.

You may have never missed a show, but I have to say I feel that I have been played for a fool. I have loved you & your music for years. HOWEVER, this last cd was VERY disappointing, all country music, except Born Free & it is borderline! I was so excited for the new cd. Bought it, brought it home, played it, & about cried. I told my husband if I had an address for you and knew you would get it, I would mail it back to you! I know there will be a lot of to tell me to get over it, but I know I am not the only one to feel this way. I have talked to several other fans who feel as I do. I hope this is a one time thing and the next cd ROCKS!!!!!!!!! Please!!! As for them being mad because you are going on with the show, screw them! You said you would refund their money, & I fully believe that you will!! I may be disappointed with the new cd, but I know you are one who will do what he says he will do!! Have a good show!

You tell them! Straight up it is Feb and the weather is gonna suck some days. Nothing knew there. I don't think you are personally rippen anyone one off. In fact I saw your show in Wichita last Tuesday and truely want to see it again. It was a blast and I may just drive to KC to get a repeat. Somedays we have to roll with the punches and right now that seems to be crappy weather. Common sense people!

so much for good southern hospitality. what the heck is wrong with you guys. you didn't even give Kid Rock a time to explain that you would get your money back. i knew the minute i saw what was going on in little rock that you would get your money back. just shows you don't know Kid Rock at all. YA'LL EATING CROW ABOUT NOW. LOL..
