Kid Rock Lends Support to Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan

Chad Childers — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:58:12 +0000

Looks like the third time is a charm for Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan. The politician, who is Mitt Romney’s running mate, was lambasted by Tom Morello after claiming to be a fan of Rage Against the Machine. He also took it on the chin from Twisted Sister‘s Dee Snider, who denounced him after the usage of ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ at a rally. But there is one rocker in his corner, as Kid Rock turned up at a fundraising event Friday (Aug. 24).

Joe Robinson — Sun, 06 May 2012 16:30:30 +0000

They can’t, they don’t and they won’t stop — and then they did stop.

Nobody can fill the extra-large Adidas sneakers favored by the Beastie Boys, but the Roots, Kid Rock and Travie McCoy of the Gym Class Heroes nobly did their best last month when the B-Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. Adam “MCA” Yauch called in sick at the 11th hour — Yauch’s mom later revealed he was admitted into the hospital that very night as he continued to battle cancer, a battle that sadly ended Friday (May 4) when Yauch passed away at the age of 47.

Kid Rock Focuses on Giving His All During Upcoming Club Tour

Chris M. Junior — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 01:29:49 +0000

Having fun both offstage and with his music still matters to Kid Rock. But as he gets older, Rock gives much more thought to when it’s best to act like his younger self.

Thanks in part to his scaled-back partying, Rock says he’s been more consistent singing and playing on tour — and that should be a plus for fans who will be attending his fall club dates.

When I think of a Buddy Holly tribute, I can’t imagine a better artist to redo one of his songs than the The Black Keys. This may not be the most rocking thing you’ve ever heard, but it sounds like a cool to tune to cuddle up to your chic with. The tribute cd entitled “Rave [...]

Best Rock Cover Songs [VIDEOS]

BJ Ragone — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 12:03:26 +0000

It’s always a pretty ballsy move when an artist tries to tackle a song by a fellow musician. It’s even better when they do it so well they knock it out of the park. I love it when a band is on stage and will start to play a kick ass song by a fellow [...]
