    Kid Rock Summer Tour - ZZ Top To Open For This Loser......

    Kid Rock is not worthy to smell ZZ Top's shit.

    I saw a piece of an article on scalping tickets for tours this year, and it is very informative about the current state of the live concert ticketing industry, but towards the bottom they discuss KR's summer tour:

    Kid Rock's discount ticket pricing is leading a change in tours where scalpers play a major role as the marketplace for secondary sources for tickets continues to grow, especially in a summer when key acts like The Rolling Stones, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z are on the road. "If I see a scalper, I'll scalp him," the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards said, laughing.


    Kid Rock, whose tour openers include ZZ Top, Uncle Kracker and Kool and the Gang, is playing the same venues he's performed at in the past, but he said he's filling up more seats and selling tickets faster. Even scalpers have approached the performer to cut deals.
    Oh how the Mighty have fallen.

    Seriously.

    ZZ Top has been a headlining act since the early fucking 70s.

    And they are OPENING for Kid Jackoff?

    Sure.....on the plus side they will be playing for large audiences and possibly making a lot of new fans......

    But that just sucks fucking ass.

    For all you guys who dig KR, more power to ya.

    I have never been impressed by him or anything he has ever even remotely attempted to do.

      I think ZZ Top's just glad they can still stand up.

        Oh I agree. I have posted several times over the past 10 years how I saw them in about 2003 or so, and they had become so slow (musically AND physically), that they looked in danger of shifting into reverse.....

        But even so.....I had to whine about it...

          Sorry but the new ZZ Top album was at least better and still video friendly....I stopped listening to them after "Sleeping Bag" though. Maybe they just want to sleep more and let Kid NoCock* pull his pants down halfway like every other white sub-urban white boy and fake it while they get paid in advance:



          Least they can still make an 80's video in the new millennium....a follow up to Hot For Teacher might have been kewl from VH as well.

            Maybe if we send ZZ Top the Karloff outburst clip from Ed Wood and the above sentence they'll write a song called Kid Ritchie does not deserve to smell our shit and they'll get kicked off the tour.

              What happened? Limp Bizkit wasn't available for Kid Cock's opening slot?

                  The whole Kid Rock thing . I just don't get it . Never have from day one and never , ever will . Thought he was a poser wannabe joke from day one and I don't think much different of him now . He seems to attract the loser cornfield crips crowd . Nothing to brag about for sure . His questionable " talent " is marginal at best .
                  Either ZZ Top is experiencing real hard times or they are just hard up for attention . If the real and very capable ZZ Top shows up , Kid Rock will be experiencing nightly ass kickings on a regular basis . The same goes for Kool & The Gang .

                      Like most peeps who are into bands, we all get to see bands when they are young and hungry and kicking everyone's ass.

                      Then you get to watch them get older, and hope they do not get lamer.

                      I have to admit, the Top have stuck to their artistic vision over the years, but the intensity level for me has gone way downhill from the first time I saw them in 1976.

                      They just cannot seriously deliver ass-kickings the way they used to, just like any other band. Look at what happened to Led Zep in 10 years time.....

                      Happens to many bands.

                      Kid Rock has stayed at the exact same level of Suck since he first arrived on the public scene....

                        Look at it this way- the clueless young dopes who listen to Kid Rock will be exposed to great rock music when ZZ Top opens. It's a start....

                          I saw Kid Rock years ago. Fantastic show! Fun! Supertight and professional. He plays several instruments, which I didn't know. Had a blast!

                          ZZ Top on the other hand would bore the shit out of me...
                          Same ole song and dance...

                            Now I have the guts to say it...I like Kid Rock. He was here with Jovi last year (or he one before, can't remember for sure). I live close to the stadium and it sounded like a hell of a show. Two months later he was back again. From all accounts a great time was had by all.
