      I hope the audience claps enough for Kid Rock so he doesn’t have to stomp out of there like a little throw a tantrum bitch that he is.

          Perry Mckinney not even a Bad Bunny fan, but reggaeton isn’t rock. lol totally different genres. But nice try. Creed sucks ass (Alter Bridge is so much better). Politics aside, Kid Rock is the definition of butt rock alongside Nickelback.

          Politics aside and purely talking about music, Kid Rock’s music is pure ass. Creed has also always sucked bc of the studio requiring the band to be radio friendly (check out Alter Bridge, same band members, different singer, but Tremonti is allowed to go nuts on the guitar). 🤘

          Perry Mckinney yesssss—RIP Jeff Hanneman. Seeing them with the original lineup in 2009 was one of the best live shows I’ve ever been to. Worth every penny to see the OG lineup kill it on stage. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

      Kid rock and the first three mentioned after I wouldnt walk across the street to piss on their shoes. That has to be the most horrible lineup I’ve ever seen. I’d go see nickleback before I’d go see this.

      Really suprised you would sell out and share a stage with that chump.
      Seems to be an odd mix of beliefs . I thought you guys represented peace and harmony .

          Kenneth Helton no one person is blocking them you fucking moron 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And it’s funny that we know all those dems names ARE in the files from the victims, the same ones who said Trump was NEVER inappropriate and was never on the island. But hey im sure your dumbass knows better than the victims huh.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 There aere lots of pics released already….no comment on your boys in those? Why did the Clintons just fail to testify? I get common sense is hard for you people but by law certain things will never be released. And the judges that have been denying the release have been on what side……wait for it…..dems. So go put your helmet back on pumpkin and go back to your corner. Use critical thinking for one second dipshit, do you think if Epstein have ANYTHING on Trump,he would have been in jail? Smh….keep repeating what your told like a good little sheep.

      Will he be bragging about statutory rape? Or telling tales of being on a private flight with Bill Clinton? I’d tell him to go back to the trailer park, but he’s actually from a wealthy family and only pretends to be blue collar/ gangster/rocker.
