    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!)

I was so sad yesterday that we could not make it out! We have infant twins that we would have had to take to their grandparents so we could come. I just was worried about getting out with them:( This was my Valentine present from my husband--date nights are hard to come by with 2 little ones:) I am still soo sad I missed what I know was an awesome show... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for thinking of your fans though...maybe we can go out to dinner for Valentines day now:)

You are not responsible to guarantee those people have a way there to your show. You are only responsible to sell the tickets and show up to play. Those people who bought tickets and could not make it, well that is their problem not yours. You did what you were supposed to do., which is sell the tickets and be there to play the show. You don't owe those people anything more than that. Keep your money and tell them to suck it up the whiners. Sandra in Canada.

You go Bob, tell them, our world is full of self absorbed whiners and they should fuck themselves, but they'd probably complain about that too (too slow, not hard enough, etc, etc, whine whine whine....) thanks for always being so el, that's why your true fans love you so much.....

Good for you!! Keep it real and do what you have to do. I've been to two of your shows and have never been disapointed! Some people just want to piss and moan, fuck them! You keep doing what your doing...you rock! And your a great entertainer!

Ok, Kid, this will make you smile--I just talked to a manager of a grocery store in Cary, NC. He is trying to order some Badass beer for me so I can take it to my friend's house before the Greensboro concert. I'm flying to NC so I can't take any on the plane although a Sanders bumpy cake WILL be in my carry on. Anyway, the manager has never heard of your beer so I gave him the americanbadassbeer.com website address. I'm spreading the word, bud (pun intended). Hopefully, the beer will become a regular on their store shelves...here in Michigan, Meijer carries it religiously. I always smile when I see it..BTW, my husband loves the beer!

I say if you guys think he is actually listening too any of your shit.... you are all fools!!! He stayed, he played, and obviously rocked down the 30 people there!!!!! On that note..... stop sucking his ass and bitching at his ass.. Kid rock will do what kid rock wants to do!! i am sure he would rather be at home helping mom control his teen!!! I would be very weary about coming to little rock again!! If he hasn't got one trying to slap him down, he got one glued to his nut sack!!! Come on, people all of ya!!!

I couldn't help but think of the lyric from "Forever"... "Can't say that Kid..." "Fuck off I just did." I loved it. Basically Kid Rock said in the words of Kenny Powers, "I'm about to fuck you up with some truth." What I think is funny is the people saying they weren't going to be fans anymore because of you not canceling the show in Little Rock didn't give a rat's ass that you didn't cancel the show in Kansas because of snow. Why? Because it didn't affect them. If they are going to take the stance of "I'm not going to be a fan anymore" they should do it because he didn't cancel ANY shows instead of the one(s) they were attending. That doesn't mean it doesn't suck for the people that couldn't make the shows, but to say you can no longer be a fan just blows my mind. If Kid had been scheduled to play in Chicago the night of our recent blizzard and we chose to not go to the uncanceled show, I'd have been sad that I missed it but in NO WAY would I say I wouldn't be a fan anymore, and you better believe I'd still be buying tickets when the next leg came through. Why would I do that? Because I enjoy Kid Rock's music too much to simply walk away because he didn't do something to appease me. You can Kid Rock it up and down my block anytime you want Kid!! See you in Chicago!!

Way to go!! We're all battling the stormy weather, same here in Newfoundland. So screw all the bitchy fans; at least they do have a chance at seeing you, we'll probably never get that chance here. You take care out there and be safe!! XXOO

Thanks, Kid, for telling it like it is. And thank you for really being there for us true fans!! More power to you and your band and staff for getting out there in that crappy weather so the show can go on! Here at home we're just freezing to death, without the two feet of snow! We love you!

U were AWESOME!! Concert was great.. I think ur comments to the "Fans" that were talking trash is RIGHT ON!! If it were me, they wldnt get shit back if the ticket outlet didnt give it to them, they sld have thought about wanting their damn refunds when they was talking trash... Kuddos to u for agreeing to give to them, out of ur own pocket though, I mean since ur such a money thirsty, selfish ass person. Right?????? I mean isnt that what they said? BS....

Our dear Robert Richie, Kid Rock, The greatest performer on God's green earth, Thank you always for being who you are. I speak for myself as well as many fans I know. We are thankful to you. You have always worked hard for your fans to keep prices down. You speak your mind. You let us know that you are a man, not a machine, not God, not perfect. Most of us respect you for being simply a hard working man! We can't imagine what life is on the road but we want you to know we can't help but love you! You have always gave us 100 % (most of the time more!) I am grateful to be one of your fans. My daughter is 16 and she has always begged me to see your shows.! We have always been very close and she was only 12 when I took her to to her first show. It was a Sunday night so we had to leave early because of school. You started playing at 8PM ish and we left at 10PM. You played another hour. She was so impressed. I wanted to let you know your fans are from 0-100 years old. I can never say thank you enough! Thank you for bringing music and fun to our lives...Love, true fans (mother and daughter)

I'm from Detroit (White Lake) originally and have lived in Arkansas for 32 years. The southern mindset is totally different than the north and there are a lot of drama queens. Sorry you ended up with such a negative experience in Little Rock. My niece went to your '40th Birthday' party and got some wonderful pictures. Love the car...thanks for being such a great Detroiter. When I retire I'm moving home.
