    Show Update

    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 am sick of jerks wanting free tickets and raggin on Kid Rock. If people want to see his show buy a ticket. and you jerks saying hes ripping you off are idiots.He has a band ,a child ,himself to support.He can do alot ,he cant control the winter fall out.not his fault if you cant drive in ice and snow.

Well put Bobby! We live in North Idaho (60 miles from the Canadian border), you would never hear us bitch about a little weather. Hell, we would brave our worse blizzard to go see your show. No one puts on a better show than you. Now.... would you please get your peeps on the ball and announce the next dates so we can see when you are coming our way. (okay, maybe a little impatient here.)

Wow! I did not realize that I lived in Michigan with the Rock and Roll Jesus - SNOW GOD! Must be why the weather is crap LOL. Last week Kid's driveway was plowed 5 feet high so Junior could get to school and he could make it to your states to entertain his fans! Thanks Bobbie for all you do for the Michigan fans and the D: Warmer weather on the way. Go Tigers !

Props to Kid for showing his fans the devotion and respect they deserve. I have travelled to shows only to have them cancel due to weather and nothing is more disappointing! To all you bitches out there: If you didn't make it, that's not his fault, you should not be entitled to refunds unless he cancelled. Anyone that really wanted to make it could have found a way, if you chose not to, that your problem.

Hiya Bob. I mentioned this post to a friend and she wanted me to pass on a message. She isn't a member of this site so couldn't post it herself. Her name is June but we call her Junie. Hi Bell It’s just a short message. “ God Bless you Kid Rock. There are not many artists with your talent, work ethic, dignity and honor. People are fools if they don’t realize that the weather is beyond anyone’s control. The fact that you and your band continue to travel and brave the elements to bring music and happiness to everyone speaks volumes. Have a fantastic and safe tour!! “ That’s all I wanted to say Bell. Like I said you can say that it’s from a MJ fan or just use my real name, whatever. I don’t mind as I speak from my heart. I might not like all his music but I think the world of him. He is a fine man and should not have to deal with this BS!!! Our world is insane! Sending you love from both of us. Bell & Junie

To KID: First of all I want to say that I am a huge fan, and saw both of your shows in Saginaw. I wouldn't have missed them for the world. Front row seats on Friday's show and regular seats for Saturday's but with good friends and both nights it was worth every penny I spent. OK, so the weather is terrible, but what? Does everyone think that they are sacrificing themselves to come see you? Well then don't go. BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE IT TAKES TO COORDINATE, SET UP, WORK AT, AND PERFORM AT YOUR SHOW? If all them people are willing to make it or try to make it so the "show can go on" then the so called "fans" should respect that they are at as much risk as the ticketholders. If you don't want to or feel like you are not able to go to the concert stay then stay home, simple as that. And if you are blessed to be able to make the show then go and have a good time because I KNOW that you don't make a mint coming to play in Saginaw, and you put on two shows two nights in a row everytime in order to give people the opportunity to see you because the Dow is small and you could have played anywhere else three times its size to sold out crowds for only one show and wouldn't have to put the extra time or energy into a smaller venue. That, to me, shows you are there for your fans just as much as they are there for you. Saturday's show you said "i am tired tonight" but you went out and still played your heart out for the little folks of Saginaw, MI and you even made the gesture of selling your beer cheaper on Saturday because you felt the civic center overcharged at Friday's show. THAT, to me, shows how much you do care and that you are a helluva lot more loyal to your fans then apparently they are to you. So I say to KID ROCK, thank you. When you are old and gray you will still have this girl as one of your biggest fans, that you can believe. SUPERSTAR. That shows me you take that title seriously and love us as much as we love you. THANK YOU KID ROCK!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT TRUE FAN 4 LIFE!
txrebel4lif1's picture

You know these people Bobby, if they ain't got nothin' to bitch about they ain't happy. They don't realize the stress that life on the road can bring down on any one person. Not being able to see your family on a regular basis, and half the time when you do get to see them, you feel like your being criticized for not spending time with your so called fans! What I say to people like that is my family is my first priority before anything else, and if you don't like it then FUCK OFF!

Kid, I live in Houston now for the past 12 yrs. But lived in Detroit for 40 yrs. You give Respect to the city brother.Just like others before you. Nuge, Bob Seger, all the Motown Greats, and so many others. You have shown a lot of class my freind in paying back all those who couldnt make it to the show, it was a NO WIN situation for you Kid. Either way you went, you would have been critsized. I have no doubt you will do what you say, because even though I dont know you, I think you are an honorable person. BTW. I WILL be there in Houston for the show at the Rodeo. Can't wait. Bringing all my Family with me (by marrage). 8 of us in all. My wife thought you Sucked at first. Till I set her straight. Now She love's ya man. We all do. More power to you my freind. I wish you great things in the future.......Mike......

It's completely ridiculous and sad that people think you are God, Mother Nature, and the department of roads all rolled into one and can control the weather and road closings on your tour??? For shit's sake people lighten up. There are far worse things in the world to be whining and complaining about. I'm sorry you even had to address the situation. Thanks for posting the pic. though. It's nice to have a glimpse of you in that setting. Be safe!

This is my husband's advice to all the bitching "fans"- "Take a look at the Devil Without A Cause cd art. THEN check out the cd art for Cocky. If you don't automatically know what these two cds look like, look 'em up then quit your fuckin' bitching."

Well said Bobby! All of your true fans know you would never rip your fans off and you appreciate us. You guys have been thru hell on tour so far and it hasn't gone unnoticed. You guys be safe out there and continue to do the best shows ever. Will see you when you come to NC and back on the boat!!!!

You tell'em Bob! You ROCK, Kid! My hometown is in Alabama and all my friends are going to see you in Birmingham this month. I wish I could go. PLEASE come to Tallahassee sometime, cause I'd love to see you in concert!
OneOrganizedGirl's picture

Sooooo everyone knows Kid Rock isn't THE Jesus, right? Thanks so much for all that you do- your talent, honesty and candor! We hope to see you soon in Virginia (or within our 6 hour travel radius- don't ask...)!

Dude, that's awesome...but when are you coming to CANADA???

Maybe Bobbie should have rescheduled for the summer then you could have blamed him for a hurricane, tornado or flood. Maybe you should blame your state government for not being prepared as the weather patterns have been changing for years. They need to buy snow removal equipment as with global warming you'll have more of the same year after year. It's not going to get bettet. As CallMeCarol stated it can take us 3 hours to go 29 miles just so we who live in Michigan can get to work for a 9 or 10 hour day and drive home for another 2. Texas had this crap, did the NFL feel sorry for there fans and offer refunds? Hell no. Just my two cents. I am sorry you had to miss the show because it was awesome in Saginaw. Bobbie do more shows here and we will fill the house regardless. Thanks for all you do.

AMEN!!!! Kid, your true fans will "weather any storm" to get to your concert. I've been counting down the days til you are here in Louisville. (1 day to go by the way)....I am even using a vacation day tomorrow just so I can be downtown in time to beat the crowds. Love the pic by the way. Hope you guys have a safe trip coming up to Louisville!
