'Kid' Rock.

Holy shit, aging has hit him like a sledgehammer. The guy is apparently 55 but looks like he's 75. Is it weak genes? Is it poor lifestyle? Or is it from having a curdled and hate-filled soul? Maybe all three I guess. But regardless, bubba looks like he's about to head to the old folks home any day.

I was just wondering if we shouldn't be calling him Old Man Rock by now. But he's only 3 years older than I am? He looks at least a decade older.

I used to hang with a lot of hard-partying night-owls. Combining poor sleep, cigarettes, and alcohol can age a person pretty damn fast. If you add hard drugs to the mix, or even some legitimate prescriptions, it happens faster.

Holy shit, this is the SAME kid rock from the 90s? i thought someone was reusing the name because that dude is forgotten.

In a social media post made after the halftime show had concluded, Kirk’s widow Erika said that her husband “would have loved” the halftime show.

Jesus, just dig him up and shoot him again. No need to say the guy would have liked Kid Rock...

Fuck, you just unlocked a memory of mine.. going to a private school that had school on Sunday...fucking hated it.

Supposedly he only allowed classical music in their house and hated country music. He would've hated this and his wife is a liar disgracing his name for saying otherwise.

Every time I hear her talk about Kirk, I become more convinced that she played a part in his assassination.

I recently learned he had her investigated, and was confirmed to have been cheating on him. Supposedly she's not in his will.

I am sure all the fan that watched it were disappointed.

The only thing more distracting than a crowd booing you is silence with one person cheering for you in public.

There's really no way of knowing either cause you know they artificially inflated the numbers with bots.

I think it's hilarious that the MAGATs tuned out the real Superbowl halftime show in order to watch an old ass pedofile lipsink to his godawful songs.

In this creep's defense, If I could come out of retirement and make millions more off the absolute dumbest motherfuckers on the planet by putting in the bare minimum amount of effort....I'd have to seriously consider it.

Quite in the line of expectations, to be frank. Fakiness is part of that country

Everything about Kid Rock is fake.

He is rich, privileged white boy, who came from rich family, grew up in a fuckin mansion, went to private school, etc etc.

But he is obsessed with trying to cosplay as some low income, blue collar, trailer park livin dude, whose highest achievement in life was fondling his sisters tit when she was drunk and unconscious after a party when he was 15.

You can take the Kid out of the used car lot, but you can't take the used car lot out of the Kid.

Kid Rock is country? I thought he was shitty rap rock. Or is any MAGA artist now deemed "country"?

Country rap is a thing now.

It's how God is letting us know the next flood is imminent.

10

eh. I dunno... Maybe for your god. My god (Church of Satan) says to use science to make sure your house is not built on flood plains. He/She (its both) also says to mind your own business and make sure other people are fed and educated.

No one likes these ideas. They prefer the deadly flood.

I heard a backstreet boys song on the radio today. The way they showed the release year of 2000 was offensive to me.

5

Give him a break, his hit song was from decades ago. He can't possibly have enough brain cells to remember something that long ago.

Is it still lip syncing if he totally failed to synchronize with it?

11

It wasn't the lips on his face that was syncing with the music...... It was his ass

Out of everything, if you cared that he lip synced then that says more about you than about him.

10
lemmy.world

Eh, it's still fake and kinda lame compared to actually performing it.

5
lemmy.world

I just don't think this is productive and is slightly hypocritical. Every Superbowl halftime show is lip synced, the artist doesn't get a choice, it's mandated by the NFL. I can't really criticize this shit for it.

I can absolutely criticize these fascists and pedo defenders for everything else though.

5

Huh, til. Bad bunny did an incredible job, and obviously rehearsed his show a whole bunch. Cause I genuinely thought he was performing it live.

4

This isn’t true. It is down to artist choice. Usher and Beyonce were live, Katy Perry was part-live, part-lip-sync, and the RHCP sang live with pre-recorded instruments.

Kid Rock sucks, and there was no reason for him to flail around on stage, but there's a reason entertainers lip sync: Axl Rose 2002 VMAs. Other good reasons exist, but man...I remember watching that live and thinking he must have mocked the rock gods.

If you're a decent performer there's no need. If you're not good enough without studio editing, you shouldn't be performing live anyway.

If you’re not good enough

::: spoiler i apologize, but this is my hobby horse. so, here is my musician rant. have you heard stevie nicks lately? she's just aged, same as the rest of us. her voice ain't what it used to be, that's no reason to ban someone from live performing. take it from someone who has been a very bad professional musician, the line of "are you good enough" is "do you have the chutzpah to stand up in front of a crowd". that's it. punk is full of musicians who are terrible at their instruments but they play together, they have the emotion and they have fun. The Gin Blossoms' guitarist knew two chords and one strumming pattern on their first two albums and was really more of a country guitarist than a pop/alternative guy. Thousands of people remember their songs fondly. It's not about good, it's about emotion and enjoyment, and if you get that when you play that's what people go to see. -source i've played with tower of power, afterglow, confunkshun, i'm not going to name my band or the actual local bands that i sit in with but sitting in with those 3 were the highlights ::: anyways.

10

Hell yeah. And I suppose my "not good enough" would be better stated as "if a musician or venue is insecure or uncomfortable with a real performance, they shouldn't play live".

1

I saw a clip of the performance... It was a really bad lip sync. As in he kept pulling the mic away from his head well before the lyrics were over. I'd heard the controversy and was like, I'm sure it wasn't that obvious he was lip syncing, and was floored when I saw the actual performance.

I can’t believe that he is only a couple years older than me. He looks like he was raised on meth and cigarettes.
