    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!)

Hey Kid! Just wanted to say that I caught your show a couples of weeks ago with my son. He is a huge fan of yours and this was his first concert. He had so much fun! Just wanted to say thanks for the comments about LeBron, you couldn't have been more true and the appreciation for coming out to see your show. The appreciation goes a long way! I can't wait to see you again! Thanks for making the night special for Beau, 8, Akron, Oh! Love ya KID!!!!

AMEN!! I flew from North Carolina to Dallas, TX last Thursday in that weather JUST to see YOU!! I made it, of course I had a 4 hour delay getting home on Friday but I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world!! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night in Greenville, SC. BE SAFE on the road!!

We were at the concert, and we cannot thank you enough for putting on the BEST show I have ever seen. It was my first time to see you live, and you better believe me that I will be there each and every time you are near the Little Rock/Memphis/Dallas area. Though I was on the floor about 3 rows from the end of the stage, it just was not close enough to the fun and action! You have a fan for life, and I thank you for your dedication to the fans! Thank you again for the amazing show, and thank you to friends with a Super Duty that got us there!

Hallelujah brother. Real Arkansas fans wouldn't bitch about a little snow. They'd get off their sister, zip up their pants, grab a filterless Lucky Strike, head to the grab-n-go for dinner, and then jump in the matador and head to the show. Guess it just goes to show that Michiganders have the most heart and soul in the world. Rock on bro! Looking forward to the shows back home later this year.

You always amaze me. They aren't true fans. No KID ROCK fan would ever bitch because you DID do the show. You sure didn't have to refund their money but that's your true character. You're one hell of a guy and the rest of us appreciate that about you.

We drove from Romance Ar to Little Rock in the bad weather, we took our time and made it with no problems. I want to thank all the Ass Holes who stayed home and bitched, because we got thier Good seats! My Grandson got to high five with you and he is now the Shit with all his friends. It was a great show and I thank you for not canceling! You put on a hell of a show & can't wait to go to another one of your concerts!

to be really honest i havent listened to any of kid rock's recent stuff just like from years ago id say around 2001 or so give or take. but anyway my little 2 cents on this since this is what the internet is for i suppose is that true that anyone who does get out and drive in bad weather do take any and all risks like everyone else weather doesnt play favs but from a person whos realistic my point of view is how much of it did kid rock actually get into he said in that comment he had money why would someone who had alot of money want himself to be in that stuff if he didnt have to and still i dont know i could be wrong but as far as the refunds he didnt need to go that overboard with it just because a person can or cant or even wont get out that person could be a big die hard fan some people know their limits when it comes to driving in this stuff some people were probably just snowed or iced in completely and couldnt even if they had a choice and to put it a little more simpler calm down because its the fans that make the star everyone has a family of some sort to take care of. so just calm down because even if kid rock himself didnt post that comment about the refunds that comment right there could of cost him a couple hundred fans maybe so take a step back honestly humble yourself and thank God that you still have fans that do support you to hell and back cause that little comment right there just made me lose way so much respect for him. once again im not expecting an apology for it just be humble and take a look around you it could be worse than people worrying about not getting refunds and stuff atleast they bought tickets to want to come to the show. anyway i will do this though i do pray for kids rocks safety not only for himself but his band and family and anyone else out there driving cause it is rough wether he is out in or not. thanks for reading know its long just wanted to give my 2 cents if you dont like it dont read it that's all i got to say. later!

Arkangel, you don't get it. KR's language aside, look for the message. He has never cancelled a show nor ripped anyone off. PPl complaining were over the top nasty, attacking his character unnecessarily. Take personal responsibility.Complainers were rude too. He's supposed to be above and beyond feeling attacked? Just because ppl can be nasty over a computer anonymously, doesn't mean they should. He's over it, we're trying to get over it, maybe you should, too. I'm done now.

I WONDER IF KID ROCK ACTUALLY DROVE IN THE BAD WEATHER OR SOMEONE DROVE HIM. I'm not a fan and after reading his comments here that cinches it for me. I won't ever be one.I had friends trying to get to the concert because they love him .The rude comments he made here are a great way to show what he is really like. Do you think women and children should risk their lives to see him? WHAT AN EGO

People need to realize, although you are the "Rock 'N Roll Jesus" ~ You are not God! and can hardly be expected to control the weather. LOL. What the hell, no kind of bad weather would ever prevent me from seeing one of your concerts...even if I had to walk and trudge through mounds of snow...Geesh! People need to get a grip, and if they were "True Fans" they would also find a way to be there! I think it was a very kind gesture of you to refund their tickets though. As for me, I can not fathom considering you greedy in any way shape or form. So, I like what you said to those who accused you of being so. Yeah...GO FUCK YOURSELVES ~ plain and simple. Ha! Ha! "How do ya like me now?" Stay you for the millions of us out here that truly love you, just the way you are ~ "EXTRAORDINARY" PS: By the way, you're lookin' way sexy as always sittin' there with your laptop! HOT DAMN!

We saw you at The Joint/Hardrock in Vegas when you were sick and felt like crap, however, you still put on an awesome show. As a fan, that is very much appreciated. As mentioned and the pictures show, you, the band and the crew had to endure some pretty brutal driving conditions and weather, however, you still went on with the show. That is very cool. As you always say and I believe you mean it, when you thank everyone for "spending their hard earned money", you truly appreciate your fans and do not try to "rip them off" at all. So, as a fan, thank you.

YOU DO YOU! You cannot please everyone so don't try. If you would of canceled people would of bitched too. Real fans would have sucked it up and drove there instead of whining like little bitches. "The show must go on" right?? Much love & respect, Dawn

Several months ago I had made some comments to a lot of my fellow GM workers that "I would like to see Kid Rock do a GM commercial". I see you driving that big white car (older cadillace I think) of yours in Clarkston all the time, and feel you could really represent us. I am thinking you would look good in one of those new Vettes, or Camaro convertibles. It was just a thought, you sure can rock Detroit. D. Garza

Oh poor little wimps , I have a true story to tell all of you and can prove every word. Well known story on Myspace and I can be found at rockanroll4u@yahoo.com. In 2007 I went to see Kid at The Taft Theatre in Cinn. When I got home I fell down 16 stairs hit the bottom and broke my left foot off my leg. When the cops finally showed and told me I was going to die I told then " I don't care I just saw Kid Rock." After a 268,000 dollar surgery in Trauma at Riverside in Columbus , I managed to get home, lost my job , truck daughters VW bug , home and most of our stuff. I was never suppose to be able to walk again. Lmfao Then my best Myspace friend Joanna helped me get to a show in Toledo I was in a wheelchair with my foot stapled on. You have no idea what fear is until you try that with a friend. People we somewhat helpful , all saying with out Joanna I would of been at a loss. the show was great. Then 3 weeks ago today he came to Columbus , Ohio . I got a flat tire it was -3 outside and got so sick I have been in bed 3 weeks as of today. You Know what it was all worth it and I wouldn't change a thing , and a family story that will go down in History. So all you people that couldn't make it.......... Fuck Off. Salle, from Legendvalley

Whoever called Kid Rock "Greedy" doesn't know much about him. I too am from Clarkston and know he is really respected in our area. When a school had it's athletic equipment stollen, he replaced it. He is one of the few entertainers that goes to entertain our troops! Is that a greedy person? He can't be expected to cancel a performance because of snow! He is from Michigan for God's sake, and eight inches of snow happens here quite frequently! Give him a break, he is refunding your money. Maybe the go.....yourself was a little over the top, but I can understand his fustration. You go Bob, and hello from Michigan! D. Garza

Being from Michigan does not make us invincible to the weather. I being a former truck driver that rocked my ass off to your music all over this great country of ours knows the weather issues first hand. My hat is off to you for taking your drivers saftey seriously. The fans need to understand your crew and equipment is not transported by the enterprise to the gig actual people bring it and sometimes emergencies due come up. Thanks for all you do, have done and are planning to do! Keep making the music and I will keep on buying. Tutt Clare Michigan

I had friends with tickets to the show in Little Rock they were asking if i thought the show would cancelled I said hell no he is from Michigan he is use to this weather. They went and they said it was GREAT!!! I think people should realize you have no control over the weather if you want to return their money that just shows what a Good Man you are!!!!! I have tickets for memphis and I can not wait ......I dont give a dam what the weather does I WILL BE THERE.

If the people complaining were "True Fans" they wouldn't complain at all! The simple fact that they had tickets to your show is enough to be happy (Try getting them in Detroit!)! You offering to refund their money is WAY above and beyond!!!! The weather is out of your control and everyone of them know that! You may be the Rock and Roll Jesus but you cannot be the Weather Jesus too! Screw them! They should no longer have the privilege to call themselves fans of yours! Keep rocking Kid, your true fans will still have your back no matter what the weather is!!!!

ROCK ON KID; your "true" fans would never bitch like that - you cannot control the weather! Props to you for offering refunds regardless, you don't see other artists doing that! Can't wait to see you here in sunny South Florida next month - I guarantee there will be snow or ice to deal with!!!! See you and Mom hopefully at the Hard Rock!!! Lots of Love!

I have to agree with Kid Rock he has been a great artist for many years a real down to earth type of guy and those who try to take atvantage of his refunding can FUCK THEM SELVES. I enjoy his work and have yet to be able to go see him at a show but would like to soon. Guess some people dont think about how things are done and yes SHIT HAPPENS they are only human. Glad to here Tim is safe and the truck doesnt look to be in to bad of shape. I sure hope alot of you realize that the magic fairry does not get the shows to happen magicly there are alot of preperations well be for the shows that have to happen before any thing happens. I may only be a normal joe that drives semi's like Tim but I also know the work that goes on for every show. Fuck the fakes and Rock on Bob and have a good time at the show.
