Kid Rock...seriously?

[Peep50]

I totally agree with you. I was dissappointed in the "mood" of the crowd. Put him with Cohella next year. He certainly thinks a lot of himself having everyone keep yelling his name! Keep it country!

[5143dog]

I agree 100%, especially about the vulgar speech. Stagecoach is billed as a family friendly event, unlike Coachella. Event organizers should keep that in mind next time they consider booking someone like Kid Rock. Were Kenny not following, I suspect half of the crowd would have walked out.

[Mars Bars]

Kid Rock was my least favorite artist of the weekend. There were too many children (mine included) that didn't need to hear his vulgarity. And Kid Rock went on waaay too long for his set. If it weren't for Kenny, we would have been out of there. I am glad we stayed. Kenny was great.

[USNavyHusker]

Kid Rock was the best act of Stagecoach '09 followed by The Charlie Daniels Band and The Reverend Horton Heat. I do agree that he could have either toned down some of his language for this venue or put out a bit of warning as some of the others did. I have seen him before and will say that this was pretty tame.

I have seen Kenny before (2004 tour) and wasn't impressed with his act then or now. I like his music but that is about it.

imo, once the sun goes down it is adult time, especially once the clock hits the 9/10 o'clock hour. i understand kid rock was on earlier, but even then, they are just words. as long as you are raising your kids right a few vulgarities here and there should not be that big a problem. they hear much worse from their friends at school on a daily basis anyways.

[annutt]

I never thought I would enjoy Kid Rock, but let me tell you he was better than Kenny Cheney I thought He was funny, and I really enjoy the song with Miranda, she is just so good. First time I seen them both. Enjoy it very much.

I think you're 100% wrong. I'm so sick of people thinking a little is ok. IT"S NOT. I don't take my kids to Coachella beacause it's billed toward adults. Stagecoach was billed as a family event... not a drunk F*** Fest. Wow Cooter....I lost all respect for you. I'm gonna believe you were probobly part of the problem!

[Damnwhataride]

always interesting what parents find ok vs vulgar for their young children. Walking around the festival - I can only assume that:
Drunk is OK,
almost (and in many cases leaving nothing to the imagination) NAKED is OK,
Tee shirts, Shorts and Tattoo's with Vulgar (Same as Kid Rocks lyrics) words and sayings any 2nd grader should be able to read is OK.

Very Public Displays of Affection are OK

It is a family festival - and there are all kinds of families...... and we all have choices.....

Ralph Stanley was fantastic.... and


Too bad you missed Roger Alan Wade at SC 1

you lost respect for me because i am not all offended by a few "bad" words? pathetic. THEY ARE FUCKIN' WORDS...oops, sorry about the "fuckin" part, i really am.

[lina224]

Sure they're only words. I'm 32 ..... my children are 11 and 4...... and didn't ask to hear those words and DON"T deserve to hear them either. No prude here, just a mom who loves her kids enough to tell you to FUCK OFF AND GO TO HELL!

haha, classy!

can't believe you had such an issue with me saying "as long as you are raising your kids right a few vulgarities here and there should not be that big a problem. they hear much worse from their friends at school on a daily basis anyways."

looks like they probably hear it from you, too.

[Kat]

Yikes, getting kind of heated on this subject. I am a mother of 3 small children and personally LOVED Kid Rock's performance. I did not bring them to Stagecoach because it is a festival not Disneyland. There is loud music, extreme heat and alcohol with a line-up containing an artist who is well known for their not so family oriented music. I was looking more forward to seeing Kenny but after Kid Rock's performance I was totally not impressed by Kenny and left after his 4th or 5th song.

[horsephotographer]

haha, classy!

LMAO.....Cooter knows this word and the meaning.....LOL....LOL....
No worries he has me on block.....lol......

I like this new person on here...You tell him girlfriend....
He hates that...lol

[Buddy_Rabbit]

I was going to use Kid Rock (to a lesser extent, Kenny Chesney) as a bathroom break.
Never cared much for Kid Rock, especially at a "COUNTRY" event.
If he had ended his set at the explosion - (the first ending), I would have found his act to be the single most memorable of the weekend.

HOWEVER:
By the FOURTH ending - he had completely lost me, my wife, and everyone around me. He went on WAAAAYYY too long. WAYYY WAY too long. I couldn't wait for it to end.
When he finally called it quits, the only people cheering were because it was finally over.

If he (KR) had ended his set at the explosion, Kenny Chesney could have come out to an electrified crowd. But as it were KR went on WAY too long, and afterwards KC took WAY too long to come onstage, and people were streaming out the exits.

Just about three encores too many, and the "I wanna **** you one more time" song totally killed it for me.

[lina224]

I get what Kid Rock is.....I've met him a few times in the past and Robert Ritchie is not KID ROCK...Robert Ritchie is a down to earth person. So when I heard he was performing at Stagecoach, at first I was hesitant to bring my kids, but believed this to be a family festival. Kind of wondering what Goldenvoice has to say about his performance. Somebody there had to take into consideration the language Kid uses.

And like I said....A** and B**** didn't bother so much...in our house we call those adult words. My kids think stupid and shut up are bad words too. I could have done without c*** and f*** her......multiple time.

When it comes to the kids ,I think I'll stick to Jonas Bros and Taylor Swift concerts for now!!! LOL (for now at least)

[Buddy_Rabbit]

He could have almost converted me.
I was in reserved seating, and throughout his set, people were on their feet, dancing, singing. The place EXPLODED at the end. . . . then - he came out again with Miranda. OK, maybe a good idea ? .. . . people were now seated.

After that, people headed for the heads. Packing their reserved chairs. And yet - it continued. People waiting for Kenny Chesney getting pissed off. People that actually had to work in the morning heading for the exits without having seen the Sunday headliner.

It was that bad.

If I was Kenny Chesney, I would be SO pissed off. And maybe that is the reason that his performance seem 'less that inspired' . . . .

[Cooter]

was kenny late, though? or did he start at his scheduled time?

[saratheshorty]

I must admit that before last night the thought of seeing Kid Rock at a country music festival seemed amusing to me, but I must admit I was really impressed with his show and the quality of voice. I still don't think he is country, but I loved his performance and it was such a treat to hear him sing with Miranda Lambert. After Kid Rock played, Kenny really should have tried harder and they should have done a better sound check. I almost felt like Kenny went on stage angry and defeated. I do think Kid Rock should have thought a little bit more about who he was playing for and thought about all those children out in the crowd. Even though the song was kind of amusing, it was in bad taste to play it at this venue. All in all, he rocked!

[unclefeiny]

I was most offended by Brad Paisley playing "Alcohol". With all those kids in the audience, he should not be dedicating an entire song to how great alcohol is. Come on Brad, you should be a better role model than that.

What are you nutz? When you go to a family oriented outing no matter what time of day it is just words or not, you shouldn't have to have this type of vulgarity and sexually oriented phrases as I stuck my d*&^% in her ^% is just not acceptable for alot of us with or with out children. They are a consideration but not the main topic of this kind of vulgarity. He should be at coachella fest where he belongs. At least two and 1/2 of his songs were great.
