Kid Rock’s Hot Summer; No iTunes Required

8/8/08, 11:39 am EST

Kid Rock is ruling summer ‘08: His smash hit “All Summer Long” — which mashes up the super-familiar riffs of Lynyrd Skynryd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” and Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London” — has charted on rock, country, top 40 and adult-contemporary radio. Powered by the single, his album Rock N Roll Jesus — which came out way back in October 2007 — has been climbing the charts, selling over 1.3 million copies and landing at Number Four in late July. How’d it happen? Check out Austin Scaggs’ story from the new issue:

I would say KR is very good at business to fool the masses into purchasing his so called songs but musical talent is zero. He can’t sing, can’t write even his new guitar player rips off segments of other songs but people by it because they have a short memory span or no memory at all.

was a success, but mixing other hit tunes to make a buck is like listening to him do a karaoke and becoming a star……… guess his own stuff was not good enough……

He steals the music from one song, lyrics from another, makes a fortune off of it then bitches on YouTube because people download it free. Untalented bitch.

I don’t care if the Zevon riff is licensed. Kid Rock has got a lot of nerve to go there. It actually makes me sick to my stomach. He will never be in the same class as Zevon. Not even close. It wouldn’t be so disgusting if Zevon was at least still here with us.

I used to look at Kid Rock as a relatively harmless nice guy. Not I look at him with nothing but contempt and a knot in my throat.

Just remember what happened to George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord”.
He had to cough up a bundle to pay the Ronnette’s for “He’s So Fine”!
Do-Lang Do-lang Do-lang!

Kid Rock’s tune is all over the air waves and Warren Zevon is turning over in his grave! Did he get permission to steal Warren’s melody? I’ll bet folks who love Kid’s All Summer Long tune have NO IDEA what I’m talking about!

Kid Rock Deserves all the success he has, anyone in the music industry will tell you he is one of the most talented artists in the business. Give props to those who can actually play several instruments, can be successful is several different kinds of music(rap, country, and rock.)Peace out.
