    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!)

Hi Kid Rock, Been a fan forever I think its awesome you have never missed a show... The fans complaining about the refund and slamming you,and the cause they need to go and follow someone else and let us fans enjoy your shows. You can never please everone but you give it a heell of a try !!! Keep it Up.. I've been forunate enough to have been able to follow you and see many of your shows and never have been disappointed. Thank You... Will see you on the cruise, can't hardly wait, The out of your own pocket is an awesome gesture but with some people nothing will please them it is what it is.. KEEP IT UP..... You are the man......

Hey, we new you would be in Wichita on Feb.1. The weather was terrible. -35 degrees wind chill and a terrible storm. I managed to get my kids who live in Wichita a room at the Hyatt too. I had long johns, my windproof Cabelas hunting coat, bubbles ( bubbles freeze if it's under 8 degrees), and a marble in my pocket! You should have come outside and seen those bubbles! Great concert, thanks. You winged it :) Met you the next day at a steak house. Too cool. One of the best moments of our life. Glad I was wearing my concert shirt. Need to figure out how to put a pic on here lol Thanks for a great experience. If you only new what really happened, what a night!!

Retired military...First thanks for supporting our troops. Second, I now work for the railroad and work on the road all year long. I had tickets to your birthday bash at Ford's Field. I was in Atlanta when the ice storm hit and shut down parts of the major interstates, so I took a day of unpaid leave to get back to Michigan. YOUR GREATEST CONCERT TO DATE!!!! BECAUSE I AM A MICHIGAN BOY, CAN YOU FEEL THAT???

I was dating this guy when you came to Sacramento....he blew it, didn't get tickets. Soooo, I jumped in my Chevy and drove to Seattle to see you! oh, that guy is sooo gone. Then, the next night you were in Spokane, that was great too!!! I have to tell you, you help people...more than you will ever know. My lifelong best friend, Kim you helped directly, and I watched it happen. You don't even know who we are, and you held us up through some really tough times. Briefly, in 2003, Kim got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Her husband worked in logging/excavating, and was gone 4-5 days a week. Your songs kept us going. I moved home to be with Kim and her daughter. Now I am back in Cali, and brought her and her husband to the Konocti for the honeymoon they never had.....we walked around all day the day before and the day of your concert, hoping to catch you on your bike, or just hangin...had a welcome mat out at our room too...Your concerts, your songs, and the real truth we feel from you....there are no words Bobby. You saved my friend's life, you changed mine...I tried everything to get to meet you at the Konocti...I was right by your chopper when you landed and when you took off...I was crying and waving, and I swear, you saw me....sure, in a see of fans...heh heh...Kim has sworn that she will not turn 40 until you sing her happy birthday. Going to try for tickets to mid-California State Fair....I made you a candle collection also...sounds corny. I am a trauma nurse and make candles...they rock...and would love to give back just a little...

Hey first and foremost you do not and have not ever ripped anybody off with your concerts, you are one hell of an entertainer and there isnt a soul there that dont get there monies worth. As far as the weather you are the Rock and Roll Jesus but you are not the Big Guy above and you dont control the weather. Hummmmm what about the ice in TI car and the lighting truck that slid off the road, now come on RJ twitch that nose and poof your there. You all be safe out there, Luv ya and when your ready to become that real cowboy look me up.

I LOVE YOU>>>>>I cant' wait for Chicago Saturday....here is my story: I am from PA and wanted to come see you but airfare tickets were over $400....so I knew it was a no go....then I told my husband you were on my bucket list and my tickets included a meet and greet...I'm a LIAR....but it worked!!!!!!! He bought my ticket so now I need a picture with you. I love your new CD and love all your songs. I'm in section 110, ow 10, seat 1. So if there is a raffle....that's your number or if I need to come up with $400 to pay my husband back. Hahahaa! Looking forward to meeting you -Reenie Scarpellii is my name-Picture with the Kid is my game! HAHAHA! see ya in the windy city XXOO!

I will have to say that before Wednesday night (Feb 23, 2011) I was not a BIG Kid Rock fan. My bff had tickets to the show and I do like Jamie Johnson so I went with her. I have to say that was the BEST concert I have ever been to AND I AM A HUGE KID ROCK FAN NOW!! Will definately be at the next show you perform in Huntington or Charleston WV!!!

We went last night to the show in Huntington, WV and we (my husband and I) have gotta say - you get better with age and everytime we see you which has now been #8. You definitely also had 2 awesome acts with Jamie Johnson and Tye Stone too!! The whole show was completely amazing!!! It still blows me away the age of the fan base you keep from our age (yes we are the f------ forty too) to the younger generation. Trying to get out the door yesterday and explaining to our 3 and 5 year old boys that have grown up on Kid Rock since they were conceived that one day we would take them to see you in concert but too young now - was a definite fight therefore, I had to tell them details of the show while getting them ready for school / daycare this morning. My husband was really sick the night before the concert and I wasn't sure we would make it but he assurred me that NO WAY would we miss it. He acted like he was better but it did get the best of him half way through the show and he is really sick now - but he still had a great time and I definitely did. Keep on rockin' and be safe! We hope to see you again soon. Love from WV die hard fans...

Kid Rock, Kid Rock I'm your biggest fan Ever since I found out that you laid it down with Pam. You've put out how many albums in a twenty year span? Wow, Rock, I didn't even know -- well, I'll be damned! I bought a ticket, a shirt and a CD So, now, that Kid from Detroit, he owes me see. It's my birthday and I'm going to your concert, lucky me Can I get a shout-out to seat 3, row 22, section G? Hey, it's 40 below and I'm in heels and a miniskirt -- is that class? Gee, I guess all these funny looks tell me, nope, instead I'm really just a big dumb ass!! What the heck, times are tough and I'm down and out, Hmm, a famous rock star, seems as good a place as any to start asking for a handout. Kid you're so hott n sexy in every way If only I was a raindrop . . . you're my fantasy lay. Maybe we can chat, or you could text me one dreamy day Cuz I know if you ever saw my face, you'd surely run the other way! Kid Rock shame on you for going on with the show This white stuff is NOT the kind we know how to blow! I'm mad as hell, what can I do -- ah, I know, I'll just get in line and threaten to sue After all, you wouldn't be here without me, so now, I'll show you! Kid Rock, huh, he's just a no-talent hack All my girl does is talk about him, and I think that's whack. Sitting here all alone, I'm starting to stew, I realize now, because of him, my balls are beginning to turn an ugly shade of blue! Ugh!! Kid Rock -- no thanks to you!!
SHUT IT's picture

Watch out, she might go postal on your ass! It's the moonshine talking and typing -- she wants to be a raindrop . . . Actually, she's been an inspiration to me in a way. Take care and Rock On

Hey Patricia Bearden -- You have two older children and you do not know how to talk or let alone type?? Why don't you just take a breather and calm your ass down. So what if you are a postal carrier and whine and cry because you put yourself in danger each day. YOU chose your carrier. If you don't like it, change it! Go to school first to learn to speak and type. How did you ever get a job????

Kid Rock you're the absolute BEST and you are TRUE to your FANS!!!!! I love your music and would travel everywhere to see you if that were possible! Love the way you put this to those who claim to be fans!

Went to your concert last night, Feb. 18th. You rocked it as always! Never a dull moment-and we had great seats! We will see you the next time you are in Nashville. Thanks for the Fucking Fourty song!! It was great & stuck in my head. Still smiling....Anytime you are passing through Clarksville, TN stop in for a home cooked meal. Be safe & have a fabulous tour.

I love you Kid Rock.....Stay TRU to who you are!!! "Your fans" love you & your band for ALL that you do for us & we realize all the sacrifices that ya'll make to bring enjoyment to our lives.

I've stood out in the elements just to watch you & the Twisted Brown Trucker Band & ya'll have ALWAYS DELIVERED!!!! Keep it up & hope to see you out there on the road soon!!!! Love from MISSISSIPPI!!!!!

Hey Kid, Right on. You don't have to put up with any shit. We appreciate you and your crew busting ass to bring us this tour and some dumbass's don't realize how hard your logistics are. Thanks again for all the effort and the great music. Making this show at all proves you're a Badass! Rock On and Keep on Truckin!

Dear Kid Rock, Your offer to personally give refunds to fans who couldn't make the show is fantastic! Last October 2010 I walked into a Wal-Mart and went to the TV department and every TV was on playing the TNT commercial for the MLB baseball playoffs with you singing Born Free. I was hooked and determined that I just HAD to see you in concert. Three months later, just last month (Jan. 2011) I was very lucky that your tour was coming to Dayton, Ohio and I bought a ticket to see your show for the first time. It was THE BEST CONCERT I've ever been to!! (I'm 53) I liked EVERY one of your songs. The video of your comments on LeBron James was Right On! Happy 40th Birthday and I look forward to seeing you again in concert and bringing my wife and my friends too!

Just read about your Arkansas show and your response to the whiners. My respect for you just went up several notches. I am a bit older than your average fan. Not much into a lot of your music - like some, love some - some is not my style. But you are one of those few truly honest performers - don't take crap from anyone nor should you. Stay true to your music, to yourself and to your fans and you will never stray far from what is right. - Cathy in Chicago

You tell them Bobby. To hell with the nay-sayers!!!! They should've figured the weather might be crappy when they bought their tickets, & if they couldn't handle it, they should've left the tickets for the REAL FANS who would drive in ANY weather to see you. See you when you do another concert in the D!!!!!!
