While I wont be attending Kid Rock's tour I applaud and respect him standing up for the hard working fan.

Highlights are calling the entertainment industry 'garbage' and 'highway robbery.'

Also thought that was a bit out of nowhere but appreciated the honesty.

Can't stand the guy's music, but I give him full marks for trying this. Good on him. Hopefully his experiment is a success so that other musicians can follow suit.

It is definitely highway robbery. I've paid around $100-$125 to see concerts with Brad Paisley (went as a favour for a friend and actually had a good time), Neil Young, and the Stones. Would I pay that much to go to a concert again? Nope. I think that the prices to see The Hip are outlandish. I paid a little over $75 to see them in 2007 with about 1200 people in a crappy, small hockey arena. Would I pay that much to see them again? Nope. Anything over $50 is a ripoff to see a concert. I've had some great times at music shows but, in the end, a show is a show. I've been to good shows, but I don't see the value in paying that much anymore.

I agree about the guy's music. But, I recently heard his new album and recommend 2 songs: "Rebel Soul" and "Midnight Ferry." They're decent...

imo u pretty much need to see kid rock live at least once, before you can have a valid opinion!
and i bet a lot of people(music lovers) would be fans after seeing him live
he puts on a great rock show. IF that's what you like

Totally agree, Saw him a few years back and he had Lynyrd Skynyrd opening for him. Both acts were great but as good as Skynyrd was Kid Rock was that much better live. I was not sure if I would like it as much as I did, but I do agree with your above statement. I would go again and have bought a few of his CDs since the concert.
