🎵 Kid Rock - All Summer Long REACTION

[@FUBAR1986]

The thing that impressed me the most about Kid Rock was the one on US O tours and actually showed the service members how to play different riffs on their guitar. He is an amazingly kind and generous human being and as far as the media goes of course they don’t like him because he doesn’t follow their protocols or they’re insane beliefs

[@mage1439]

He either shows up hard or doesn't show up, but you can't blame everybody who doesn't like him. He did a show near here where he went on stage in no shape whatsoever to perform, just drunk out of his mind.

Technically, a sample is digital technology that allows an artist or producer to digitally record a snippet of a song or even an isolated track such as a base line. When musicians record the portions of the song using live instruments, it is called an interpolation.

This song just reminds me of my youth. It really was a great time. I look at my kids and see them not really enjoying life. They're to busy with things on the computer and cellphone. Even though I limit it as much as possible, they just don't have the same things we did as teens.

[@SilverbladeDagger]

As a Michigander, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for Kid Rock, but also for Bob Seger. A TON of talent came out of this state. Anyway, it's a neat mashup of "Werewolves of London" and "Sweet Home Alabama", but with completely original lyrics. Definitely sounded similar to my summers here around 1989... minus the smoking funny things and drinking, I was too young and not into that. Hell, I was 13-14 back then! But the fishing, the swimming, the boating... every summer for Independence Day week we'd stay at my uncle and aunt's house on Myers Lake doing all of that, then sleeping in tents in the back yard. Those were perhaps my favorite summers of my 46 years of life! The song sorta encapsulates all that.

[@brettpenning]

So true. I watched a video on KZbin the other day and we were ranked 4th out of all the states for the Artist that were born here. That's an awesome Stat. 3 was Texas, 2 was New York and 1 was California of course. Tennessee was around 28? Which I think is kinda crazy.

You should really check out some early Kid Rock, to get a feel of where he started. I would recommend the original version of the song “Early Mornin’ Stoned Pimp”, from the mid-90’s, off his 3rd album, of the same name. His very 1st album was released on Jive records, the same month as Vanilla Ice’s, it was a very early 90’s Hip Hop style, he got dropped from the label after 1 album and had to build everything back up as independent artist. He was still Hip Hop, but got together a live band and started working other genre’s into his music, and did well enough on his own the major labels came back to him. He recorded his next major Label album the same time fellow Detroit Rapper Eminem was recording his debut album, that’s how long Kid Rock had been working to be successful, and that was his 1st album to blow up.
