iTunes shaken to the core!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7459796.stm
US music star Kid Rock is refusing to put his albums on iTunes because he says artists do not get paid enough for downloads from the Apple store.Kid Rock is one of the last few acts not fully signed up to the service.He said it was based on "an old system, where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don't give it to the artists".

What's not to hate about Kid Rock? I hate that you did this first. More like Kid Cock, amirite?

the worst thing about Kid Rock is that what little charm his records used to have is gone now. he doesn't even rap on any of the 3 singles off of his current album, and I sure as hell don't wanna hear that guy sing.
― some dude, Thursday, 19 June 2008 02:43 (fifteen years ago) link
He kinda raps -- because he's a shitty singer -- on that new tune where he drives around in his speedboat karaoking to a band playing a combination of "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Werewolves of London" badly.

For all of it's ubiquity 10 years ago, I had no idea that Kid Rock song was called "Bawitdaba".

My favorite Kid Rock story is that he was thrown out of a Waffle House in Atlanta a few years ago. Really sums him up.
I wonder what happened, if he was an asshole to the waitress or something. Also, i wish i had been there so i could have tripped him on his way out.

as long as i don't have to look at him or listen to his music then i guess i'm pretty okay with him

You gotta admit, this guy is pretty ballsy, ramming his van through Kid Rock's gate and attempting to break into his house, alone, in broad daylight, ON CRUTCHES. Talk about an American Bad-Ass!*

Didn't Kid Rock recently like cap his ticket prices at 15 or 20 bucks to keep it affordable? That's kinda admirable, right?

Was Kid Rock's "Only God Knows Why", the first blatant use of Auto-tune in a song?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMk2fClfOjg
Most places on the net cite Cher's "Believe" as being first, but while that was released as a single in October of 98, Devil Without a Cause was released in August of that year, even thought it didn't seem to start getting hit singles till like summer of 99. Or is there an even lesser known example that predate both?

did a stadium tour with tickets capped at $20 through official sellers. which was mainly Wal-Mart.

was kid rock's "only god knows why" a really moving and great song? (yes.)
are you sure it's autotune on that song? (for the record i find it really annoying when downfall-of-all-music youtubers call every form of vocal processing "autotune" -- tho that's obviously not really related to anything in this thread)
lol i believe i purchased a kid rock album at a wal mart once. i probably only listened to it once, too.

<i>did a stadium tour with tickets capped at $20 through official sellers. which was mainly Wal-Mart.</i>Also negotiated beer prices down to $4 each and parking to $0. Plus has ZZ Top and Kool & the Gang opening. So very worth the price of admission, even/especially if you don't drink or stay to watch Kid Rock.

As an ordained minister I don’t look forward to marrying gay people, but I’m not opposed to it.
Any gay who'd want to be married by Kid Rock is not a gay that I wanna know.

I’m always buying more guns. I have everything from a Civil War cannon to an MP5 machine gun and old police guns. If someone invades your house, yeah, you can shoot them. I don’t think crazy people should have guns.

"Beyoncé, to me, doesn't have a fucking 'Purple Rain,' but she's the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one 'Sweet Home Alabama' or 'Old Time Rock & Roll'? People are like, 'Beyoncé's hot. Got a nice fucking ass.' I'm like, 'Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big tits.' Doesn't really fucking do much for me."
