‘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 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.
Ted Nugent is still a thing too.
Cocaine has that effect
Point and laugh.
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.
assuming that its viewership totals exceeded Melanoma is a big assumption
He looks so fucking stupid, I can’t breathe
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.
No, it aired after the actual halftime show.
Hillbilli Vanilli
Kid Cuck.
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.
He never retired, he just became irrelevant.
You can take the Kid out of the used car lot, but you can’t take the used car lot out of the Kid.
I swear I slipped and fell on it doctor.
It was a one in a million shot, Doc!
Like that rich kid ever saw a used car lot.
Is it still lip syncing if he totally failed to synchronize with it?
Out of everything, if you cared that he lip synced then that says more about you than about him.
Eh, it’s still fake and kinda lame compared to actually performing it.
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.
That’s fair, it’s more of a criticism of the NFL.
Source?
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.
So I guess the methtime show didn’t work out?
Old Man Rock
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.
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.
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
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.
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”.
