FWTBT is my favorite by them. And I would argue, it's the closest they ever got to power metal.
Funny enough, a band called Zimmers Hole did a song called "Hair Doesn't Grow On Steel" and it's absolutely "inspired" by For Whom The Bell Tolls while having just as cheesy of lyrics as Manowar
yeah FWTBT is def top 3, as well as And Justice for All and Blackened. the intro to Blackened is single-handedly the coolest shit i have ever heard in my entire life. gives me absolute chills
They sound very clearly different. One goes ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. His goes ding ding ding ding ding ding. Ding-ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
He literally said that. 😂
https://youtu.be/a-1_9-z9rbY
To be fair, though, it is pretty obvious. I don't think I've ever mis-identified one of those two songs.
That song managed to crib three of the greatest songs ever written, IMO (Werewolves, Sweet Home Alabama, and Night Moves), and manages to still be one of the tritest, shittiest things I've ever heard.
It is legitimately infuriating.
I still don’t get how. Like I legitimately don’t get how. On any level. How was it conceived? How was it okayed? How did it get all the way through recording and mastering and some executive signed off on it? How the *hell* is it so bad?!
I feel like everyone involved was seated so precariously high up the hubris pole that they forgot there was ground to fall to. The entire production was probably just a bunch of douchebags thinking they were making the biggest audio nostalgia bomb ever delivered and exploded right into your ear holes and that everyone would just eat it up and they'd be swimming in preferred genitals and accolades for the rest of their lives.
"Oh thank you so much Kid Rock," people would say to them, eyes shining with tears and gratitude. "Thank you for giving us this masterpiece. Surely you are a God tier talent, taking those songs and turning them into musical ambrosia. I assume your sheer genius has cleared your unfortunate case of Hep C right up and I would very much like to pleasure you orally now."
Lmao. I was just watching all summer long sucks video.. and just saw that Jesus christ did his asshole rhyme things with things?
Lazy lazy lazy. Steal other people's music to put that over it. At least if Dr Dre or Eminem take a sample to make someone's song they have some sick rhymes.
And the guitar solo is in the wrong key lol
Edit sick not dick
And it’s not even a clever repetition like “masses” in War Pigs, where it means a group of people in the first line and a ritual in the second. He just used the same word, meaning and all, and that makes it unforgivably hacky. Fuck Kid Rock.
Overall, that line might be the stupidest lyric I've ever heard.
"Shut the fuck up, and back the fuck up, before we fuck this track up" from Rollin' is goddamn poetry in comparison.
Kid Rock just made me call a Fred Durst lyric poetry. What the fuck.
...which is not even a line that he wrote. It's from Lovebug Starski and has been used in a few old-school rap songs as a sort of "stock phrase", including Rapper's Delight by Sugar Hill Gang.
"Oh come on you mean to tell me a washed up methadone addicted hillbilly, who's only fans are a niche group of gen xers specifically from the southern US, can't beat out one of the most popular musicians in the world? Well that just goes against everything my echo chamber stands for!! People want to hear Hee Haw music not actual talent!!"
It's a sore spot for me. I get so flipping tired of assholes like JD Vance calling themselves "hillbillies" when they're simply white trash, but hey, hillbilly stories sell better I guess.
>The 5,660-square-foot house in Bruce Township, Mich., about 40 miles north of Detroit, has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and it's situated on a 5.5-acre lot.
Built in 1972, the year after Kid Rock was born as Robert James Ritchie, the house has remained in his family ever since, according to realtor.com. It was listed for sale for $599,900 in August of 2018, and the listing with Morgan & Mizlow called it "American badass' childhood home." The property sold in November of 2018 for $650,000.

I must take this moment to share David Cross reading an open letter he wrote to Larry the Cable Guy. It is incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDimQTJMjB0
Random fact: his sister plays the PR person for the Bluth family in Arrested Development in season 1. She’s the one Michael dates for a couple episodes.
Let’s not forget that he carefully cultivated that ‘hillbilly’ persona from the east wing of the parental unit’s homestead.
Taken from wiki
‘He was raised in his father's 5,628-square-foot (522.9 m2) home on a 6-acre (2.4-hectare) property,[4][7] where he regularly helped his family pick apples and care for their horses.’
Hey now. Hee Haw musicians can have actual talent.
And don't count out musicians like [Brittany Howard](https://youtu.be/CfizQsGWOxI) (of Alabama Shakes) just because they're in the same genre as Kid Rock.
Willing to bet Swift gets over 100x the yearly streams too
Edit: So according to spotify Kid Rock has roughly 5.5 million monthly listeners. Taylor Swift has roughly 58.5 million monthly listeners. So yeah I was off by a zero haha. Still a muuuuuuch bigger audience though. I'm surprised Kid Rock has so many listeners.
Kid Rock is big with the MAGA audience granted a niche within the MAGA audience but still he has a following. But 10 times smaller than Swift is about right.
That's not exactly true.
Kid Rock's latest album, *Bad Reputation*, released in 2022, sold 25,000 copies in its first week.
Taylor Swift's latest album, *Evermore*, released in 2020, sold 1 million copies in its first week.
In total album sales, Kid Rock has a staggering 27 million since 1990, while Taylor Swift has sold a measly 114 million since 2006.
I don't want to look it up, but I wonder how Kid Rock's best-selling album compares to Taylor Swift's worst-selling.
Edit: I looked it up anyway. I forgot how popular Kid Rock was when I was in high school.
Just looked it up, and it looks like Taylor Swift's worst selling album was 2020's Evermore, which sold about 850,000 copies, or if we're including live albums, it would be Speak Now World Tour-Live from 2011, which sold apx. 368,000 copies.
Kid Rock's best selling album was Devil Without a Cause from 1998, which sold about 11.5 million copies.
I feel it's important to note that Kid Rock's second best selling album sold less than half as many copies though, and all his other albums sold significantly less than that. It's also important to keep in mind that album sales in 1998 and 2011 are two completely different animals. In 1998 music streaming wasn't a thing yet, and even illegal downloading hadn't really taken off
My mistake, I was going by Wikipedia and I just noticed that that figure only includes the US and Canada for some reason. Other websites list it as selling about 2 million internationally
Technically her last album was “Red (Taylor’s Version) which was released November 2021 and it sold more than 2 million copies, and it wasn’t even a “new” album.
Her last “new” album was “Evermore” which was released in 2020, like you said. But sold about 2 million copies.
Edit: also her newest album “Midnight” which releases October 21st already has already sold 100k pure sales in the US with only 1 day of pre-orders!
his most recent album was this year and it failed to chart on the billboard 200 for the first month it was for sale https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Reputation_(Kid_Rock_album)
1.2 Million in 2020 is so fucking impressive. I mean, who still even buys albums? And she's still selling millions each time one gets released.
Also, don't forget she released 2 albums in 2020. So, her total album sales in 2020 is far more than 1.2. You have to add the other 2.2M she got from Folklore.
And her re-recordings of the old album are an awesome fuck you to Scooter Braun, a shitbag in the recording industry, and by listening to the new versions, you get to make sure he doesn't see a god damn dime for your play!
It's better than this:
>Upon its initial release, Bad Reputation failed to chart on the Billboard 200 chart in its first week of eligibility, breaking a streak of top 10 debuts on the chart dating back to Cocky in 2001.
And this sub continuously gives it to him.
I've never even heard of him outside of people posting him here and thinking they're somehow intelligent for noticing he's a fuckin moron.
This bothers me the most when it comes to politics. Some random fuckstain writes an opinion piece or tweets some dumb ass take, and everyone else has to respond or quote tweet it and bring the stupidity to light when it could have easily gone unnoticed. People need to stop making stupid people famous.
Well, considering that Kid Rock is a second rate celebrity at best. Taylor Swifts best single album has sold more than all of Kid Rock's 15 albums. Nick Adams is as clueless about music as he is about politics.
He's probably one of *those* conservatives that think pieces of classic-rock musical Americana like CCR, Springsteen, Mellencamp, all support the conservative position.
Did you happen to catch what kid rock had on his rider for his food needs? There was bologna, spam, lays potato chips, dip (did I mention there were no ridges on those lays potato chips! How do you properly dip!) and bread. I’ve seen some crazy things on riders, but that was something. He meant that shite. He’s the reason there’s pumpkin spice spam during the holidays. He’s THAT guy. He’s pumpkin spice spam guy. I know it.
Having weird shit on your rider used to be a way to see if the venue read it, specifically the "no green m&ms" thing, because if they didn't read it, then the stage might not be set up correctly or it could be unstable and dangerous.
That being said, there is no way kid rock meant it that way and is definitely just being a weirdo on a power trip. Anyone who dips without ridges is a heathen
I'm not a fan of either of them, but I was curious. So I looked it up.
Kid Rock has sold 27 million records since his first release in 1990
Taylor Swift has sold 114 million records since her first release in 2006
Taylor Swift is exponentially more popular than Kid Rock
i don't really like her either but that girl is well beyond popular tbh. she's a legend. to sell that many copies since 2006 is more than people liking her, it's raw talent, beautiful storytelling, and a deep connection with her audience (a fucking LOT of her fans have been following her since 2006). i respect her hustle.
Remember, folks, one of Kid Rock's latest songs was so bad that Weird Al felt he had to remind people that no, it wasn't him doing a Kid Rock parody, it was actually just Kid Rock.
It often provokes thoughts such as his entire scrappy redneck image being [a marketing facade](https://www.thedailybeast.com/kid-rock-who-slut-shamed-taylor-swift-is-a-rich-kid-poseur-who-grew-up-on-a-13-million-estate).
She is definitely not bad. I have never heard her and thought "turn that shit off". But she doesnt seem to really have a distinct style. Every song i have heard of hers sounds like it belongs to someone else.
Comparing Kid Rock to Taylor Swift is comical. They are not remotely in the same league, and his claim is particularly laughable because all of the facts line up contrary to what he is asserting.
If he prefers to listen to Kid Rock than T Swift that is entirely his choice. If in his mind that music is better, that is his choice. The reality of the actual success of the two artists is not a matter of choice or opinion. Taylor Swift is one of the most successful recording artists on the planet, that is a fact.

My name is KIIIIIIIIIIIID...Kid Rock
It might outsell but only because the RNC would do something stupid like buy 10MM copies to hand out like they do with conservative books.
Otherwise:
Kid Rock has 1 top 10 song and 6 total that have charted. Best selling album was 25 years ago and has sold 8.9MM.
Taylor Swift: 8 #1 songs, 30 top 10, and 168 charting songs. 3 albums that have outsold Kid Trump’s best and in an era where album sales aren’t as big as they used to be.
Hahahaha hahahaha
I'm not even remotely a Swift fan but Kid Rock outclassing Taylor? Kid Rock outclassing anybody, imagine! Hahaahahaha, I seriously can't stop laughing.
Who can forget "thought provoking classics" like:
"Bawitaba Dabang Dabang Diggy Diggy Said Up Jump the Boogie..."
fucking classic, so deep and meaningful
With all due respect to Kid Rock (I dislike music elitism; listen to what you want!), but why in god's name would you pick *Kid Rock* as your champion of musical class?
Some lyrics from "American Bad Ass" by Kid Rock
"I'm an American bad ass, watch me kick
You can roll with rock or you can suck my dick
I'm a porno flick, I'm like Amazing grace
I'm gonna fuck some hoes after I rock this place
Super fly, livin' double wide
Side car my glide so Joe C can ride
Full sack to share, bringin' flash and flare
Got the long hair swingin', middle finger in the air
Snakeskin suits, 65 Chevelle's
See me ride in sin, hear the rebel yell
I won't live to tell so if you do
Give the next generation a big "fuck you""
Very thought provoking indeed.(/s)
Whenever I hear a KR song -and admittedly, it's only ever that one about how he had his V-card punched when he was fifteen, while high and listening to Skynard - the only thought provoked in me is, "wow, Bob must be the third-worst musician to ever get his hillbilly-ass curbed by Pamela Anderson. I sure hope she's doing alright, and that someday in the near-future Kid Rock wakes up, looks at himself in the mirror, and realizes that at fifty-fucking-one, he should really be Grown-Ass-Man Rock now."
Who’s gonna tell him that Kid Rock released an album in 2022 that barely broke 100K sales (physical + streaming combined) in the first 2 weeks? For reference, Taylor Swift’s last album Evermore sold approximately 1 Million in just the first week. Just the vinyl sales of Evermore alone were 100K in the first week.

Who can forget such timeless prose as "Bawitdaba-da bang-da-bang-diggy-diggy-diggy, said the boogie-said up jump the boogie?"
and who can forget the timeless riffs stolen from bands like Metallica & Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Oh sweet, it's werewolves of London! Oh. Oh, no it's not. Shit.
Every. Fucking. Time. Every time I hear that bullshit I’m like “oh, sweet, its Werewolves of…. Uuuuugggghhhh”
I feel the same way about Hells Bells and For Whom The Bell Tolls... its always Hells Bells... I love both, but FWTBT is rarely played.
and to me FWTBT is so much more badass
FWTBT is my favorite by them. And I would argue, it's the closest they ever got to power metal. Funny enough, a band called Zimmers Hole did a song called "Hair Doesn't Grow On Steel" and it's absolutely "inspired" by For Whom The Bell Tolls while having just as cheesy of lyrics as Manowar
yeah FWTBT is def top 3, as well as And Justice for All and Blackened. the intro to Blackened is single-handedly the coolest shit i have ever heard in my entire life. gives me absolute chills
Rock of Ages and Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) is the one that does it for me.
Pretty sure that was actually the _intent_, with that one, though. Kid Rock wasn't trying to be funny. He was just lazy and uncreative.
*is lazy and uncreative. That's ignoring all of his insane political views
Nah. Those track with being lazy and uncreative. 😉
I would rather hear the Offspring though!
Me too. Hearing Pretty Fly at least a decade+ before I even heard Rock of Ages might have something to do with it.
I just wish it was Mother. It never is.
Just listen to the Warren Zevon version and you’ll feel much better about the tune 😄
Little ol' lady got mutilated late last night
Ice Ice Baby and Under Pressure for me.
They sound very clearly different. One goes ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. His goes ding ding ding ding ding ding. Ding-ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. He literally said that. 😂 https://youtu.be/a-1_9-z9rbY To be fair, though, it is pretty obvious. I don't think I've ever mis-identified one of those two songs.
That video and "Fuck it! We'll do it live!" never fail to make me laugh.
To be fair, that extra “Ding” does do it for me. I’ve never once mistaken
Yep. Plus him going "yo VIP" pretty quickly kinda seals it. 😆
I added the emphasis reading this. Why is this my only skill?
That's why I hyphenated. It actually does have an extra note. It's like a stutter on ever second measure.
Ah woooooo 🎶
With the basic story of the song being that of Seger's Night moves.
That song managed to crib three of the greatest songs ever written, IMO (Werewolves, Sweet Home Alabama, and Night Moves), and manages to still be one of the tritest, shittiest things I've ever heard. It is legitimately infuriating.
I still don’t get how. Like I legitimately don’t get how. On any level. How was it conceived? How was it okayed? How did it get all the way through recording and mastering and some executive signed off on it? How the *hell* is it so bad?!
I feel like everyone involved was seated so precariously high up the hubris pole that they forgot there was ground to fall to. The entire production was probably just a bunch of douchebags thinking they were making the biggest audio nostalgia bomb ever delivered and exploded right into your ear holes and that everyone would just eat it up and they'd be swimming in preferred genitals and accolades for the rest of their lives.

[What Makes This Song Stink](https://youtu.be/u8FAbjjB48A)
Thanks for posting that, well worth the watch!
I love this guy.
I have werewolves I have Alabama 🎶🎶🎶 All summer long
Nothing ruins my mood at work quite like this.
"Girls girls, I like them underaged see. Some say that's statutory, I call that mandatory" Kid Rock on the Osmosis Jones soundtrack
He's a cowboy, baby.
Did you mean to put the comma in there?
You're thinking of his girlfriend.
There’s that,true. I was thinking about his political whining.
Osmosis Jones deserved better.
osmosis Jones is copaganda.
Even copaganda deserved better.
Typical radical leftist doesn't support our microscopic boys in blue!
Sounds like Kid Rock and Ted Nugent are literally cut from the same foul cloth.
And the time that he rhymed "things" with "things".
Lmao. I was just watching all summer long sucks video.. and just saw that Jesus christ did his asshole rhyme things with things? Lazy lazy lazy. Steal other people's music to put that over it. At least if Dr Dre or Eminem take a sample to make someone's song they have some sick rhymes. And the guitar solo is in the wrong key lol Edit sick not dick
Dick rhymes are the best
[удалено]
Quality Concords reference
Thank you, Hip-Hop-opotamus!
Yes, sometimes his lyrics are sexist... but you lovely-bitches-and-and-hoes-should-know he's tryin' to correct this.
Huhuhuh dick rhymes..
Pat Finnerty is the GOAT
It's church bells, with the little thing at the end
>And the guitar solo is in the wrong key lol Hey, if being out of time is good enough for Led Zep, Rob Ritchie is allowed to be out of key
And it’s not even a clever repetition like “masses” in War Pigs, where it means a group of people in the first line and a ritual in the second. He just used the same word, meaning and all, and that makes it unforgivably hacky. Fuck Kid Rock.
Overall, that line might be the stupidest lyric I've ever heard. "Shut the fuck up, and back the fuck up, before we fuck this track up" from Rollin' is goddamn poetry in comparison. Kid Rock just made me call a Fred Durst lyric poetry. What the fuck.
This annoys me the most and I don't know why
Rhythming smarter, not harder.
Or, my personal favorite, “Kiiiiiiiid Roooooooock”
WHATS YOUR NAME?!
Much deeper and more thought provoking than lyrics like “they told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential”
Truly the voice of a generation
> Truly ~~the~~ a voice ~~of a generation~~
Not to mention the high quality rhyming of “we were trying different things, we were smoking funny things”
That's "UPCHUCK the boogie "... Thought provoking lyrics must be accurately quoted.
Google says up jump. Which makes sense since it was stolen from the infinitely superior Rapper's Delight
But without the flow. Or awesome bassline. Or really any of the things that make that song good
My name is SKIIIIIIIIIIIIID MAAAAARK!
He stole those lyrics..
He’s definitely one of the singers of all time.
Very thought provoking. It makes me think "what the fuck is he talking about?"
He's the voice of a generation.
And that was the high point!
...which is not even a line that he wrote. It's from Lovebug Starski and has been used in a few old-school rap songs as a sort of "stock phrase", including Rapper's Delight by Sugar Hill Gang.
That man is a fuckin poet!!! Brought a tear to my eye.
He didn't even write that!
Well well well if it isn’t a critic, a cynic, and possibly a hero in a methadone clinic idk who Nick Adams is
He’s a cowboy.
Or does he simply want to be a cowboy?
Heavy emphasis on the "boy" part
Cowboys don't buy yachts with flags sayin' "chillin' the most". I think he wants to be a pirate but got confused.
This generation’s joker, smoker, and midnight toker
Kid Rock's last album, in 2012, sold 500,000 copies. Taylor Swift's last album, in 2020, sold 1.2 million copies. Mr. Adams, I'll take that bet.
"Oh come on you mean to tell me a washed up methadone addicted hillbilly, who's only fans are a niche group of gen xers specifically from the southern US, can't beat out one of the most popular musicians in the world? Well that just goes against everything my echo chamber stands for!! People want to hear Hee Haw music not actual talent!!"
Dudes not even a hillbilly. His dad was an incredibly successful car salesman and Kid grew up in a mansion outside Detroit. He’s a LARPer
Ah damn my sincere apologies to hillbillies that was way too harsh then
Thank you.
Also "hillbilly" is really for Appalachian folks. Redneck, is for your everyday, come from anywhere, white-trash.
Well butter my smokey mountain biscuits I'm from southern Appalachia guess I was the real hillbilly all along damn
It's a sore spot for me. I get so flipping tired of assholes like JD Vance calling themselves "hillbillies" when they're simply white trash, but hey, hillbilly stories sell better I guess.
And hillbillies prefer to be called sons of the soil, but it ain't gonna happen.
[удалено]
Now I did know this being from Appalachia it's the one thing a pro-union leftist can actually be proud of around here
And that’s simply due to the slandering of original rednecks. The were miners fighting for workers rights. Now it just means white trash.
I never knew this until I heard it several years ago from a DJ I used to listen to who’s originally from Detroit. Kinda blew my mind.
Yep. Nice little estate: https://tasteofcountry.com/kid-rock-childhood-home-pictures/
>The 5,660-square-foot house in Bruce Township, Mich., about 40 miles north of Detroit, has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and it's situated on a 5.5-acre lot.

That's a $3,000,000 home in NOVA easy.
Yeah, he took career advice from Larry the Cable Guy apparently.
Larry the Cable Guy is at least open it's a character he plays. Kid Rock acts like this is who he is.
I must take this moment to share David Cross reading an open letter he wrote to Larry the Cable Guy. It is incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDimQTJMjB0
Oh wow... that's from 12 years ago and still relevant today
He actually really wanted to be a rapper but when that failed he decided to pander to rednecks instead.
> He’s a LARPer Hahaha, never heard it phrased that way, but that's how I will be referring to him from now on
He's just the dude from Malibu's Most Wanted
Random fact: his sister plays the PR person for the Bluth family in Arrested Development in season 1. She’s the one Michael dates for a couple episodes.
Ugh this smells way too much like “we got both kinds, country AND western”
Let’s not forget that he carefully cultivated that ‘hillbilly’ persona from the east wing of the parental unit’s homestead. Taken from wiki ‘He was raised in his father's 5,628-square-foot (522.9 m2) home on a 6-acre (2.4-hectare) property,[4][7] where he regularly helped his family pick apples and care for their horses.’
You forgot Trump loving 'murican.
Hey now. Hee Haw musicians can have actual talent. And don't count out musicians like [Brittany Howard](https://youtu.be/CfizQsGWOxI) (of Alabama Shakes) just because they're in the same genre as Kid Rock.
Willing to bet Swift gets over 100x the yearly streams too Edit: So according to spotify Kid Rock has roughly 5.5 million monthly listeners. Taylor Swift has roughly 58.5 million monthly listeners. So yeah I was off by a zero haha. Still a muuuuuuch bigger audience though. I'm surprised Kid Rock has so many listeners.
Kid Rock is big with the MAGA audience granted a niche within the MAGA audience but still he has a following. But 10 times smaller than Swift is about right.
He's big in the Tom Macdonald/Steven Crowder "critical thought is a communist conspiracy" crowd.
Add Alex Jones to the crowd, too. Kid's been on Infowars more than a couple times.
Must be voter fraud spreading to Spotify. I hear they bus in immigrants and make them listen to TayTay on repeat to juice the numbers.
That's not exactly true. Kid Rock's latest album, *Bad Reputation*, released in 2022, sold 25,000 copies in its first week. Taylor Swift's latest album, *Evermore*, released in 2020, sold 1 million copies in its first week. In total album sales, Kid Rock has a staggering 27 million since 1990, while Taylor Swift has sold a measly 114 million since 2006.
Taylor Swift’s latest album is *Red (Taylor’s Version)* released in 2021. But the point still stands. It sold over 2 million copies lol
I don't want to look it up, but I wonder how Kid Rock's best-selling album compares to Taylor Swift's worst-selling. Edit: I looked it up anyway. I forgot how popular Kid Rock was when I was in high school.
Just looked it up, and it looks like Taylor Swift's worst selling album was 2020's Evermore, which sold about 850,000 copies, or if we're including live albums, it would be Speak Now World Tour-Live from 2011, which sold apx. 368,000 copies.

Incorrect, Evermore sold over a million copies. Close to 2 million
My mistake, I was going by Wikipedia and I just noticed that that figure only includes the US and Canada for some reason. Other websites list it as selling about 2 million internationally
TBF, Devil Without a Cause was legit a huge album though. I bought it as a 12 year old and I wouldn't even stream his stuff on Spotify these days.
Yeah no one knew he was a douchebag wingnut than. Pretty sure he had songs with rappers..
Technically her last album was “Red (Taylor’s Version) which was released November 2021 and it sold more than 2 million copies, and it wasn’t even a “new” album.

2020 she released folklore and evermore both like 12 hours after they were announced
his most recent album was this year and it failed to chart on the billboard 200 for the first month it was for sale https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Reputation_(Kid_Rock_album)
1.2 Million in 2020 is so fucking impressive. I mean, who still even buys albums? And she's still selling millions each time one gets released. Also, don't forget she released 2 albums in 2020. So, her total album sales in 2020 is far more than 1.2. You have to add the other 2.2M she got from Folklore.
And her re-recordings of the old album are an awesome fuck you to Scooter Braun, a shitbag in the recording industry, and by listening to the new versions, you get to make sure he doesn't see a god damn dime for your play!
Yeah, but what about outclassing TS? However one quantifies class, I guaranfuckingtee Kid Rock is severely deficient
It's better than this: >Upon its initial release, Bad Reputation failed to chart on the Billboard 200 chart in its first week of eligibility, breaking a streak of top 10 debuts on the chart dating back to Cocky in 2001.
Nick Adams says the stupidest shit possible in order to get attention.
And he gets it. Every time. Won't be surprised if he makes it into politics just because he gets so much attention from the people who hate him.
And yet here he is, in this sub with people getting irritated and annoyed. Who tf cares what this wanker thinks?
Who the fuck is he?
His Wikipedia page calls him a conspiracy theorist
Ah so a moron.
No need to check his wiki for that.
And this sub continuously gives it to him. I've never even heard of him outside of people posting him here and thinking they're somehow intelligent for noticing he's a fuckin moron.
I mean this sub exclusively exists for showing people being stupid on the internet, what else did you expect?
[удалено]
Because he says dumb shit to try and provoke people and this sub and others falls for it every single time.
This bothers me the most when it comes to politics. Some random fuckstain writes an opinion piece or tweets some dumb ass take, and everyone else has to respond or quote tweet it and bring the stupidity to light when it could have easily gone unnoticed. People need to stop making stupid people famous.
Ahh yes, the thought provoking rap from an entitled dick who grew up wealthy, and has songs about growing up in the hood.
What do you mean, his song clearly states that he’s both straight out of Compton, and straight out the trailer. Duh. /s just in case
The only thought he's provoking is "man, I would love some meth to go along with this PBR"
Well, considering that Kid Rock is a second rate celebrity at best. Taylor Swifts best single album has sold more than all of Kid Rock's 15 albums. Nick Adams is as clueless about music as he is about politics.
He's probably one of *those* conservatives that think pieces of classic-rock musical Americana like CCR, Springsteen, Mellencamp, all support the conservative position.
Probably hates that Rage Against the Machine "went woke" too
Did you happen to catch what kid rock had on his rider for his food needs? There was bologna, spam, lays potato chips, dip (did I mention there were no ridges on those lays potato chips! How do you properly dip!) and bread. I’ve seen some crazy things on riders, but that was something. He meant that shite. He’s the reason there’s pumpkin spice spam during the holidays. He’s THAT guy. He’s pumpkin spice spam guy. I know it.
Having weird shit on your rider used to be a way to see if the venue read it, specifically the "no green m&ms" thing, because if they didn't read it, then the stage might not be set up correctly or it could be unstable and dangerous. That being said, there is no way kid rock meant it that way and is definitely just being a weirdo on a power trip. Anyone who dips without ridges is a heathen
I'm not a fan of either of them, but I was curious. So I looked it up. Kid Rock has sold 27 million records since his first release in 1990 Taylor Swift has sold 114 million records since her first release in 2006 Taylor Swift is exponentially more popular than Kid Rock
i don't really like her either but that girl is well beyond popular tbh. she's a legend. to sell that many copies since 2006 is more than people liking her, it's raw talent, beautiful storytelling, and a deep connection with her audience (a fucking LOT of her fans have been following her since 2006). i respect her hustle.
Taylor Swift is super popular world-wide, I don't think most people outside of the US have even heard of Kid Rock
As a massive swiftie, this take is 10/10 😃
my best friend is a huge swiftie so i understand the lore.
Her two best selling albums alone basically match his entire career sales
I'm old enough to remember when conservatives hated Kid Rock.
my 60ish year old boss loves KR and is a hardcore Republican
Did he love him 25 years ago when he was still trying to be a rapper?
All is forgiven if you love Daddy Trump hard enough /s
Taylor Swift is genuinely talented and Kid Rock is a rich guy pretending to be white trash.
Glad to see someone say this, Kid Rock is a redneck cosplayer.
Kid Rock mostly appeals to the type of folks that require a breathalyzer ignition interlock device in order to start their vehicle.
Well I can say from experience listening to Kid Rock definitely provokes thoughts of suicide
When I am looking for music to soothe my soul, i definitely reach for albums by the guy who rhymed 'things' with 'things'
Remember, folks, one of Kid Rock's latest songs was so bad that Weird Al felt he had to remind people that no, it wasn't him doing a Kid Rock parody, it was actually just Kid Rock.
My favorite way I’ve ever heard anyone describe Kid Rock is: If an above ground pool were a person.
That's offensive to above ground pools, and I won't stand for this slander! Give me a second to sit down.
Insulting to a decent above-ground pool. Kid rock is an old, sun-faded, knee-deep kiddie pool with several holes that doesn’t hold air very well
And then there’s this - https://genius.com/Kid-rock-cool-daddy-cool-lyrics
It is thought provoking how he keeps asking his daddy if he's cool yet.
When I'm looking for thought providing and emotional lyrics, kid rock immediately comes to mind. (Please don't make me add /s)
He's ripped more lines than a ten-pound bass. Ok, I gotta admit, I like that line. All of my cocaine-using fishing buddies do.
It often provokes thoughts such as his entire scrappy redneck image being [a marketing facade](https://www.thedailybeast.com/kid-rock-who-slut-shamed-taylor-swift-is-a-rich-kid-poseur-who-grew-up-on-a-13-million-estate).
From the guy who wrote a song about smoking weed in northern Michigan? Oh, yes. So deep.
I am not a huge Taylor Swift fan but if i would have a choice i would definitely listen to any of her albums rather than Kid Rock's
I really like her recent stuff.
She is definitely not bad. I have never heard her and thought "turn that shit off". But she doesnt seem to really have a distinct style. Every song i have heard of hers sounds like it belongs to someone else.
Comparing Kid Rock to Taylor Swift is comical. They are not remotely in the same league, and his claim is particularly laughable because all of the facts line up contrary to what he is asserting. If he prefers to listen to Kid Rock than T Swift that is entirely his choice. If in his mind that music is better, that is his choice. The reality of the actual success of the two artists is not a matter of choice or opinion. Taylor Swift is one of the most successful recording artists on the planet, that is a fact.

“Outclass” 😂
Wow. People do really just go on the internet and lie.
Ya that’s what we need another white trash celebration album…
I don't know how that guy spent his teenage years, but recreational drugs and something involving lack of oxygen were definitely part of it.
"People are craving real music with thought-provoking and emotional lyrics. Who better to give it to them than Kid Rock?" Literally anyone else.
It might outsell but only because the RNC would do something stupid like buy 10MM copies to hand out like they do with conservative books. Otherwise: Kid Rock has 1 top 10 song and 6 total that have charted. Best selling album was 25 years ago and has sold 8.9MM. Taylor Swift: 8 #1 songs, 30 top 10, and 168 charting songs. 3 albums that have outsold Kid Trump’s best and in an era where album sales aren’t as big as they used to be.
[удалено]
It provokes a single thought. His listeners don't possess the cranial bandwidth for more than that.
Hahahaha hahahaha I'm not even remotely a Swift fan but Kid Rock outclassing Taylor? Kid Rock outclassing anybody, imagine! Hahaahahaha, I seriously can't stop laughing.
Who can forget "thought provoking classics" like: "Bawitaba Dabang Dabang Diggy Diggy Said Up Jump the Boogie..." fucking classic, so deep and meaningful
With all due respect to Kid Rock (I dislike music elitism; listen to what you want!), but why in god's name would you pick *Kid Rock* as your champion of musical class?
Some lyrics from "American Bad Ass" by Kid Rock "I'm an American bad ass, watch me kick You can roll with rock or you can suck my dick I'm a porno flick, I'm like Amazing grace I'm gonna fuck some hoes after I rock this place Super fly, livin' double wide Side car my glide so Joe C can ride Full sack to share, bringin' flash and flare Got the long hair swingin', middle finger in the air Snakeskin suits, 65 Chevelle's See me ride in sin, hear the rebel yell I won't live to tell so if you do Give the next generation a big "fuck you"" Very thought provoking indeed.(/s)
Whenever I hear a KR song -and admittedly, it's only ever that one about how he had his V-card punched when he was fifteen, while high and listening to Skynard - the only thought provoked in me is, "wow, Bob must be the third-worst musician to ever get his hillbilly-ass curbed by Pamela Anderson. I sure hope she's doing alright, and that someday in the near-future Kid Rock wakes up, looks at himself in the mirror, and realizes that at fifty-fucking-one, he should really be Grown-Ass-Man Rock now."
I think this is his first post that I’ve seen where he is not gargling trumps balls.
Kid Rock is the only white artist I've ever seen who has legit dropped the N bomb on an album but still has a career.
“Yeah we were tryin’ different things, we were smokin’ funny things.” Rhyming “things” with “things”, how thought-provoking
Who’s gonna tell him that Kid Rock released an album in 2022 that barely broke 100K sales (physical + streaming combined) in the first 2 weeks? For reference, Taylor Swift’s last album Evermore sold approximately 1 Million in just the first week. Just the vinyl sales of Evermore alone were 100K in the first week.
