    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 trying to leave a comment on your facebook page and it won't let me...saying I need to verify my account by giving my credit card number or moble phone number. WTF?

Way too tell it like it is! I could not believe it when I heard that people were dissing you over putting on a performance in bad weather. Here in Canada if we thought like that we would be completely shut down eight months out of the year! Thank you for keeping it real, and I look forward to seeing you on the cruise in a couple of months. Keep Kid Rockin' On!

Fuck 'em! If the dumbasses are not smart enough to figure out that if they purchase tickets to a show that is in the middle of winter that there may just be a chance of bad weather then the dumb mother fuckers need to stay at home anyways! Hell they probably can not even figure out how to work the door knob. What a bunch of douche bags!!!

@MCompeau Yes! I've got my John Deere (with loader) all ready to go! I also have a FORD Flex that manages to get out of the snow, believe it or not, all wheel drive. I know you could probably sell out a whole week at Pine Knob this summer...why don't you try for a few days then add the rest? We'll be there!

Sorry I missed the concert. Couldn't get out of Northwest Arkansas. Heard it was great. Saw u at Endymion last year and was hoping to get to concert. Don't want a refund. U did the right thing by going on stage. Hope rest of tour is great and maybe next time I'll make it

As always there's bitchers and complainers about everything. People are so used to getting their way because they are so spoiled..I agree ...FUCK EM.. Who can control the weather? Who wants people to put their lives on the line to entertain a bunch of spoiled asshole? Stay safe, Bob, and take care of what matters most to you. I'd rather see you and the band out of danger than bitch about a cancelled show. Shit happens...no need to apologize.

Shit you can't win for losing, people get over it...Kid Rock is capable of many things but controlling the weather is certainly not one of them...if the show had been cancelled people would be pissed, if the show goes on people are pissed!! Really..these things happen in life...get over it and move on...get tickets for the next show, cuz there is no doubt that you did miss one hell of a good time!! This clearly isn't Kid Rock nor his band/crews fault. I nearly missed a show at the DTE coming from Niagara Falls Canada, was an hour late due to a 4 hour wait at the brindge (which I'm sure had several Kid Rock fans held up) and not once did it even cross my mind to ask for my money back should I miss the show...wow it amazes me!! Kid you keep on rockin' and do for you and yours!!! PS I really hope Canada gets added to the tour...bring Rev Run back with ya cuz the Bday bash rocked!!

you are an awesome man!!! i have been one of your fans for many years, it takes a big heart to offer a refund to the people that didn't make it to your show, my hats off to you, alot of your music has influenced me to rock out and keep writing songs and performing, my daughter just turned a year old on december 30th, and i am just getting back into writing and playing after taking a year off, i love listening and playing your tunes and i am patiently waiting for you to return to canada...... ROCK ON!!!

As always you stand true to your fans by performing for the ones who could make it & offering a refund to the ones who couldn't. I was blown away by the ugly comments made about you! Obviously those people don't know how much you care about your fans & what a big heart you have. I was so upset I missed the show last night & I can't wait to see you next week in Nashville, then Jackson MS, then Memphis & finally the best will be on the boat with lots if sunshine!!!

Bob I heard somewhere that you like lamps with Eagles on top. If so, I have a lamp like that and would like to give it to you. I am in the U.P., but would send it to you if you like. Keep healthy.

Right on!! I just love it when you personally write stuff on here! Here is a solution to all your problems: Don't EVER leave Michigan!! We TRULY and devotedly LOVE you here!! I bet you could play once a week somewhere in MI and it would sell out everytime! We would get there no matter what - If our 4-wheel drives won't make it then we would try the 4-wheeler, snowmobile or John Deere!! LOL!! All kidding aside....PLEASE, PLEASE don't get frustrated...you make sooooo many people happy with your music - we are so lucky to have you!! Forget the bad, greedy, critical people and keep doin what you're doin for all of us who really appreciate you! I check this EVERY DAY just to see a new picture or comment from you or your crew. THANK YOU for all that you do! We know you work hard and it shows!! Be safe on the road and come home soon!!! :)

I would personally like to say,Thank you to Kid and his Band for risking their safety comming to Wichita to give us a big ray of light in this rather drab time,Now with that being said,Kiss my 41 yr old ass,to those who maybe don't know what it means to have someone bring a smile on your face and music in your soul,go call yourself a whanbulance and hire someone else to bring you a memory that was left with us in Wichita,I for one appreciate the efforts eveyone envolved made to give us just one night of freedom to exspress ourselves when in a world we slowly are loosing our freedoms,Thank you to Kid and Jamey for a kick ass night,music is a freedom we should all appreciate,and appreciate the efforts of those who give it to us,Thank you Kid and your Band,and Jamey for making the dreadful trip through this bad weather and for showing your appreciation for the money we spent and the efforts we made to be close to you.My Blessings to you and your Tour and all envolved. Thanks from Wichita, Ks Kate

I would just like to say that I am a TRUE fan and just because I was not able to make it to the show last night does not mean otherwise. I wish everybody would stop talking shit and making Arkansas look bad because not everybody here is a complete jackass. I was completely devastated at the fact that I could not get there, I do not drive the right kind of vehicle for this winter weather bullshit plus having bald tires right now, which doesn't help either but anyways I have been looking forward to this concert since the day I found out that Kid Rock was coming to Little Rock. I seen you last time you came to Little Rock and played at Edgefest. It literally was the best night of my life. It was such a great show. The show last nite was going to be in celebration of my 21st birthday and I was really looking forward to getting to be there for it however shit happens and you have no control over the weather. I think that you are a wonderful person for refunding us that couldn't make it our money. Which its not the money that I am so upset about its not getting to see Kid Rock. However Im not sure how we will be getting the money back or how thats all going to work out, I just need it so I can get tickets to your Memphis show before it is to late! O yea and to the people who say that its our fault that we didn't plan better or be better prepared for the situation can kiss my ass. Don't you fucking think that I thought of going down tuesday night. If I would of had enough money to afford a hotel I'd a damn sure been there and would not be dealing with all this. Why don't we all stop hating on each other and enjoy this badass motherfucker called Kid Rock before he says piss off to all of us. Kyla Marie

Hey Bobby, I think the people that are giving you the hard times must not really be fans anyway. And your right, you don't need people like that around you, your family, your band or your real fans!!! You and yours hang in there and stay real to yourselves. Take things slow and let all that go. I guarantee you I will be waiting here in Houston when you get here & I'll make it to the show if I have to build and ark. Can't wait to see you. Stay safe and warm!!!

We'd love to have Kid Rock perform for the military and their families at Operation Appreciation, May 21, 2011. "Born Free" would be an awesome theme. OceansideOperationAppreciation.com

The same thing happened in Wichita, Kansas and I braved the road conditions and made it to the concert 1 hour and 1/2 late. There was 8 of us going and all but me decided not to go. Kid's band was stuck in Oklahoma in the weather and was not there to start the show. That man came out on stage and told us that made it that he would perform whatever until the band got there and we would rock it out and I am going to tell you that it was the best concert I have ever been too. Kid is a true artist and you can tell that he loves what he does when he is on that stage and he loves and appreciates his fans and after that concert and his awesome performance I have a new respect for him and what he does. So for those bitching about it...think he travels thru the same shit you do to get to these places and works his ass off. Weather happens. The other 7 people who made the decision not to come have never complained. They know...shit happens. It is not Kid Rock's fault!
