    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!)

Fuck the whiners- I took 2 days off of work.. drove 4 hours in a fuckin' Mini Cooper through the back woods of Louisiana to see Kid... people need to suck it up and shut the fuck up. Kid, you ROCKED Shreveport... I only thought Zombie could put on a show with that much energy, but damn you proved me wrong! ;) See you at the Houston Rodeo and Jazz Fest!

This is for some of your "so called fan's." Let me tell you about Kid's show in Saginaw Michigan, apparently the Event Center was selling Kid's beer at the Friday night show for more money than their own beer. Kid was NOT happy and let everyone at Saturday's show know it, he then made his beer cheaper than the other beer, but the most important factor was that he care's and tries to keep his cost down and if you don't know that then you are not a true fan. He even asked that if anyone knew someone that had been to the Friday show to please apologize for him, because that is not the way he likes things done. Way to go Kid!! Be safe and prayers for a safe tour for all of you.

Kid Rock you rocked Little Rock, Arkansas last night. Best concert ever. Hope you come back soon. Happy 40th Birthday! My husband turned 40 on January 5. He bought your fuckin 40 T-shirt last night. It took us 4 hours to drive 100 miles in the snow, but would do it again in a heartbeat to see you. Be Careful on the rest of your tour, Love ya your #1 fan. Christy

Sorry we missed the show but we chose not to try in the weather. Sorry we are not from Michigan either, not used to this as you guys are. We made a decision to stay in, I am glad the show went on for all of those that did make it, what a drag to get there and it be cancelled. Sorry the arena won't step up to the plate and refund tickets though, they should do their part, it is money in their pocket everytime someone plays there. It is a drag also to know that you paid for seats and something out of your control caused you to miss the show.

So agree with you Kid!!! Keeping it real like always!!!!! I was able to attend a concert in the summer at DTE and most recently for your 40th Birthday Bash at Ford Field and have never been disappointed. You have always been devoted to your fans and your community and never forgot where you came from. You have a great heart and your TRUE fans will always defend and stand by you, not complain about you! Be safe on the road and with the remaining of your Tour. Much love to you and your son!!!

That's what I'm talking about! It was their choice to come see you. I guess it was also your fault the weather is the way it is too. A true fan will stick with you regardless. And I among many others will continue to support you so......FUCK 'EM!!!!!! Love you!

I'm late to the party but... Kid - I saw you in Wichita on Feb 1st... some of you. My husband was stuck on business in Ottowa because of canceled flights in... you got it... Detroit. My best friend & fellow Kid Rock luva couldn't make it because of the weather so I swallowed my pride & went to the show alone. I had to leave before your band made it in - damn it. The band was late but I couldn't be late for the babysitter. Despite all the obstacles... I felt like I was treated to 45 minutes of something others on your tour might not have gotten to see... something raw & unchoreographed. You improvised, entertained & I loved every minute of it. Still, not enough for me... my friend & I have tickets to your show in KC on the 25th. This time I'm staying for the entire show - come hell or high water... or more snow... I'm not leaving until I do!!! I'll be the last one standing on the floor, section 3, row 16. Rock on...

Dear Kid Rock,my son David bought me a ticket to come see you at the bi-lo center this Saturday. i know you are a very busy man,but i have a huge favor to ask,my son David Owen and his friend Randy Cobb are 2 U.S. Marines that have returned from duty in Afghanistan and may be going back.David surprised me with a ticket to go with him to your concert!!!! I would love to surprise him,if you could just give a shoot out to them ,it sure would be a great memory for them.When David first got back to California he went to a bar he had went to several times before the deployment, when he got back he wanted to do a shot to celebrate him being back on U.S. soil, the bar would not serve him because his military i.d. was scratched up from being in afghan.David told the people at the bar,he should of took better care of it while getting shot at in afghan.It would mean so much to me,if you could let him and his buddy in battle know that their service to our country is worth a shot of liquor.Thank you for caring about our military.

As true KID ROCK fans that we have been for years, we can understand your disappointment in so called fans. We are hard working, simple people that have been handed a lot of crap lately ourselves so we know where you are coming from in your post. We know that you have not ripped anyone off and we know what kind of great person you are. Keep up the good work and great music; we cannot wait to see you in Huntington, WV on the 23rd. Be safe and God bless!

Arizona would be blessed to have you come again soon! Anywhere in Arizona, I'll be there. Will sell my ex-wife's son from a previous marriage to make this happen soon.

IF I get a refund, the only thing I plan to do is buy tickets to see you somewhere else. I was not one of those who bad mouthed or even posted anything at all. I am happy that your show went on. To cancel would have been horrible for those who could make it. If I don't get a refund, I will still buy more tickets to see you somewhere!! So for all of you who think everyone that didn't make it are bitching and griping, you need to realize that not all of us were doing that!!

Hey there, I drove to Nashville last night from Cookeville, it usually takes an hour. Last night, OMG it was freaking crazy, snow was coming down and the roads, well you couldn't even see the road, everyone was making their own lanes. Anyway, point being I went to see Robert Plant and The Band of Joy and it took 3 1/2 hours to get there. I ain't bitching.....I reveling in the fact I got to see such an awesome show. But, there were a lot of people who didn't show up, that's their loss. If you can't get there by God you can't get there. I would have drove for your show too, but I too understand the situation. Hell, your a Michigan boy and it ain't no piece of cake weather there and you know!!! See you next week in Nashville and it is gonna be in the 60's, yeehoo!!

Seen you once in Iraq in 2007 (I even got to listen to you jam after the show in our security house) and then I saw you in KC! You know how to bring the house down! By far the most entertaining show I've witnessed! I will be buying my tickets this weekend for the show in KC on the 25th. I don't care if I have to ride behind a dog sled to make the 3 1/2 hour journey to see the show, I will be in that stadium! Keep doing what your doing and piss on the ones that have nothing better to do than bitch
