At what point in time can we consider Kid Rock no longer a Kid?

I think he's under the false impression that people want to listen to his music.

I thought he died from Pam Anderson's vag diseases.

 
brian7dog 2008-06-19 09:27:51 AM  
But if I steal his music via downloads how will I be able to smash the worthless crap to pieces? Do I have to trash my computer, my ipod or do i just lift the cds and smash them instead?

Considering that his two biggest hits involved stealing a refrain from the Sugar Hill Gang, and a metal riff from Metallica, this should suprise nobody.

/he also stole hepatitis from Pam Anderson

Pull out your hard drive, take off the cowling, remove the platters, smash them. It's the only way to be sure.

That song he, uh, "wrote" where he simply sampled a Metallica song and threw in some ham-fisted rhyming is the best.

1) "Recording artist"??? Really, subby?

2) No one would pay for his music in the first place.

No, he has definitely recorded stuff, so it should be recording "artist".

Do you mean "well" taken care of? If so, I will begin the process.

wookie1: I think he's under the false impression that people want to listen to his music.

They actually did at one point, as hard as that is to believe. He made a ton of money years back, and that's probably why he's ok with piracy now. He's losing such little money due to illegal downloading at this point, since no one wants his music now, that it's easy for him to come out and say this.

Ask him this back when he was actually making money off his music and see what his answer would have been.

Fair enough, I'm all for hyperbole.

Gee, does he play every instrument?

'Cause, wow, that's sooo amazing.

There's a homeless guy I know who plays every rock instrument. He doesn't have enough hats or tone-deaf fans to move out of East Dallas, however.

His latest "hit" steals from "Sweet Home Alabama." Isn't that akin to sacrilege?

Debating the finer points of pop music is about as productive as debating the finer points of movies.

It's just entertainment people. Get over it.

AND SOME (not myself) would argue that in order to fight the huge mindsuck that is Hollywood one should steal their products until they rot.

Note that is SOME people, not me.

/fight the power?

[Kid Rock] - whose real name is Robert Ritchie - said his record company Atlantic had asked him to "stand up for illegal downloading" a few years ago because it told him "people are stealing from us and stealing from you".

"And I go: 'Wait a second, you've been stealing from the artists for years. Now you want me to stand up for you?'

"I was telling kids - download it illegally, I don't care. I want you to hear my music so I can play live."


I know it's trendy to hate on him, because gosh all those hillbilly red staters like him so that means he's bad mojo, and hey look how cool we are and stuff. But you know what? He's right about what I quoted. Good on him.

Say what you will about him, you always know where he stands on something. You may disagree with his position, you may think he's an idiot for holding it, but you are never in doubt as to what he thinks. Unlike pretty much anybody else in that godforsaken business or even life in general.

If I could have chosen to have lived his life I would have in a New York minute.

As much of a douchebag he is, his argument for stealing music is a relatively good one.

"I was telling kids - download it illegally, I don't care. I want you to hear my music so I can play live."

Artists should strive to get their music out to as many people as possible, because that in turn drives the real money making aspect of playing music. You can steal a song off of the internet, but you can't steal the experience of a live show.
