Chef Greg Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm not really into Kid Rock, but someone on here suggested a summer tour amongst the two and for some odd reason I could see it working. When Kid Rock tours with Skynyrd, who opens? I assume Skynyrd. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I could see it working, but I wouldn't want it to happen...I used to be very into Kid Rock til the "Cocky" album. Now that he's just doing generic white trash rock n' roll, I can't stand him anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknophyle83 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah, I'm over Kid Rock, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 When I seen Kid Rock and Skynyrd, Skynyrd played first. Kid Rock and Guns N' Roses, it would never happen though it would be cool as fuck. I just don't see either men wanting their group to open.

Powerage5 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'd have no interest in it. TBH, I'm perfectly happy with Baz opening for GN'R for the rest of their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyL Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I myself think that would be a terrible idea. Kidrock fans are largely rednecks. They are going to want to see the old gnr only. And I for one wouldn't be going to that tour. Kid was pathatic on stage with Axl in New York. ruined it for me anyway. he maybe fun to party with but that would be about it.

And I for one wouldn't be going to that tour. Kid was pathatic on stage with Axl in New York. ruined it for me anyway. he maybe fun to party with but that would be about it.I suggested this tour the other day in another thread. Kid Rock might not have been great with an impromptu performance with Axl- I was at that show but have never watched the replay on youtube. One thing is for sure, he's an awesome performer and his band sounds good live. If you haven't heard the entire Rock N' Roll Jesus album, you're missing out on what is, for the most part, a good straight-forward rock album with classic rock influence. If Axl wants to play before Brazil-sized crowds in America, he's going to have to do something like this or outside of a couple midwestern cities, New York and Los Angeles, he wont fill a hockey/nba arena. I also believe that Kid Rock would open for Guns N' Roses. Kid Rock is respectful of legendary artists and doesnt try to upstage them. Here in Atlanta a few years ago, he stood-in for James Hetfield when he hurt himself and couldnt perform. You've got a point about redneck fans. I saw a woman at my last Kid Rock show wearing ass-less jeans (she was huge too), but at least he has a slightly different fan base. If he had the same fans that would be at GNR anyway, then it wouldn't do him any good to have Kid Rock with him. Finally, i made the point the other day that Kid Rock doesn't charge a lot for his tickets, so the prices wouldn't be as expensive as they would be with other big name artists.

AmyL Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) The reason Kid doesn't charge a lot for his shows is because he doesn't put on a big production like gnr. It costs a fortune to do the stage stuff gnr does. I think they would be good acts together at festival type shows. And I have seen the performance on video. lol This isn't the proshot but you can get the idea. Axl for one was not impressed. And actually it isn't that he sang that bad. He just looked like an idiot too me. lol Nothing against the guy. I have 2 of his cds. Edited January 21, 2010 by AmyL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1989 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 At Download 2008 one of the biggest cheers of the day was when they announced that Kid Rock couldnt perform that day because he was ill or something. The guy is a douch and nobody in england gives a shit about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyL Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 See I can see that. He is huge in the US but I don't think other counties get acts like his to well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motörhead and Priest got slightly extended sets due to him having the barry whites or whatever was wrong with him that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Matinator Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I've never liked kid rock, id rather see Guns tour with with someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well, Kid Rock sings on the new Slash album so maybe we'll see him on stage with that guy. Hell, maybe he even sings on the track that Slash did with Izzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunsNRevolvers2 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I saw Skynyrd with Kid Rock in the summer of 2008, I went for Skynyrd, but they ended up being the first "headliner"..and then I lasted about 6-7 Kid Rock songs just to see Rev Run come out and do a couple songs, then I headed out...Kid Rock would kill a GnR concert for me..
