14:38 Hearing Kid Rock shout "I love black people" in his usual rocker voice and then a guitar riff plays cracked me up to coughing. It's like an SNL skit.
On top of that, said "Satan" is just that fucking phoney baloney weenie from Dragon Ball Z, this album sucks so bad it can't even get an actual "Satan".
Weird Al probably had the best dunk on the Kid Rock video, saying something to the effect of, "That's not my new Kid Rock parody, but that's actually the new Kid Rock video"
Gen X metro Detroit here. Kid Rock is a rich boy from the exurbs. Grew up in a mini-mansion with a 5-car garage, separate guest house, kidney-shaped in-ground pool, horse stables and a tennis court -- in a completely different county than Detroit. His childhood mini-mansion in Macomb county sold for $1.3 million in 2019. His father owned a Lincoln-Mercury car dealership. His "straight out da' trailer" schtick is as fake as it gets. Eminem is the actual working class Detroiter.
You know what made me wonder about that? Ironically the song I like the most, All Summer Long. If you grew up poor downstate, you weren't taking trips to this area. It's always an influx of middle to upper class. Lately more upper since there are literal mansions here now. That raised our taxes, thanks guys, lol
@@DestinyKiller -- Yes, growing up in a blue-collar/working class family, I didn't have a cabin or lake house to go to "up north" like my friends whose parents had middle class white-collar jobs. And the times my family did save up enough money to take a vacation up north, we pooled funds with at least one other set of aunts and uncles and cousins, and rented some stranger's lakehouse up north for a long weekend, with the grown-ups sleeping on the beds and couches, and the kids on the floor in sleeping bags. It was a 3 to 4 day excursion at the most, with a good chunk of it spent driving to and from -- and wasn't anywhere NEAR "all summer long"
> Insert "two nickels" joke here. If I had a nickel every time someone was self-aware enough to realize the "two nickels" joke has been done to death in TH-cam comments, I'd have a single nickel as of yet, which kind of ruins this "two nickels" joke but I applaud you nonetheless.
I've always bristled at the weird participation trophy thing. The kids weren't the ones who asked for that; it was always the parents. Like, that's your generation that made that a thing, Kid Rock.
More to the point, no kid ever thought they had done something when they got a participation trophy. It was humiliating and strictly for the benefit of the parents.
Lol good point. What was I supposed to do as an 8yo? Refuse it and call my parents and the staff "pussies"? I would have been called ungrateful. Which they also complain about my generation for. I also would have gotten beat and cried and again, they call us "pussies" for having trauma from that. There is no winning, except to laugh when they do cringe nonsense like this.
@@calmbbaerI mean, my dad is a Baby Boomer and he got a participation trophy for Little League back in the '60s. His parents' generation was the Silent Generation, so I guess they're the one to blame? Really, though, I think the real source is parents of any generation living vicariously through their kids and not being willing to accept that their kids have different interests and strengths. The form it takes may change, but I think that kind of self-centered parenting has been around forever.
Love how he says "Inflation is up like the minimum wage". Bro, the federal minimum wage hasn't changed since 2009. Not even conservative economists think the inflation of the past few years is being driven by wage increases.
It's a fundamental principal of the present-day right-wing that everything that leftists online have made noise about then actually happened. They think minimum wage is up even in red states (it's not), that police got defunded (they didn't), I've even run into people who genuinely thought student loan forgiveness already happened. Who's going to correct them--their kids, who they already think are brainwashed? Fox News?
Conservative economists --- well, Austrian school economists --- think inflation is driven entirely by money creation in the central banks. i.e. it's deliberate (because they redefine the word 'inflation' to exclude any other causes). So I think what he's getting at here is that by increasing minimum wage and inflation at the same time that there's a deliberate attempt to exclude hard-working Americans yadda yadda. Either that or he doesn't know what he's talking about and is just stringing together phrases he doesn't understand.
I'm not shocked it placed 124, MAGA people don't actually like rap. At best, rappers are just useful idiots too them (Lil Pump is another great example)
"My kind of country has a Trump and a JFK And NAACP and an NRA" Kid Rock is truly an American - completely idiosyncratic, incomprehensible politics that he sees no conflict in, and he doesn't get why people don't understand and agree with them.
@@TheAlps36 that really is conservatism, stuff is working for me, keep it the same, i dont care who it is not working for. i think thats why so many other white straight guys are kind of default conservative, because, as a straight white guy, it works for us...mostly, geography and education play in.. which is probably why its so easy to get resentment and bitterness from those areas, but generally for us, it works. for nonwhites, women, and gay people, the system sucks to general degrees, so they gravitate towards change. and also why so many wsm liberals flipped from conservative after seeing something happen to a sister or daughter or friend, "why did nobody tell us this wasnt working???!"

"A liar would pander more successfully and an honest man would be more relatable, but a poser just gains no respect." I think in any circle, political or otherwise, posers are the default pariah.
I think it's because we can all understand lying in the name of self-interest, and we can understand sincerity, but there's nothing within us that understands transparently cosplaying something you aren't that you yourself don't seem to believe. They're the pariahs because they're the hardest to get. I don't get the motivations of poseurs and I have a minor in psychology.
@@morganqorishchi8181 - I don't think it's that hard to get. It's self-interest, only there's the added layer of hypocrisy-like the bigot who says "Some of my best friends are...." I have LONG believed that hypocrisy is the worst of the sins, because it makes the rest possible.
It’s very important to point out that Kid Rock had a private tennis court in his backyard growing up. His father is Lou Ritchie, and he owned several car dealerships all over metro-Detroit. He was always a spoiled brat and the definition of a poser. (Edit: One too many a’s in that last sentence, my bad)
That totally makes sense. He's basically a theater kid, just like most conservatives, doing their little cosplays. Maybe the lines between the act and reality simply started to blurr...
That's why he's always sounded comically shallow even from the very beginning. He's Baby's First Country Rocker, a cheap cosplayer that doesn't know what he's talking about and has never shared an interesting thought in his life. The only appeal that I could possibly imagine him having is that people just as boring as he is can relate to his dullness.
Someone on Twitter mentioned this and as a Canadian I think it needs mentioning too. The band Monster Truck were seen as CanCon darlings throughout the 2010s on mainstream rock radio. Hell even the original song of Don't Tell Me How To Live was a hit. And then when the remix with Kid Rock dropped it KILLED their career and I believe they get little to no radio play. So in a sense this album is a double trainwrecord.
Oh, really? Good! I discovered a local community/university radio station, and I rarely set my car's radio back to the various IHeartRadio stations since. Don't Tell Me How To Live was a common staple for the rock stations for a /long/ time.
I'm actually kind of astounded that Kid Rock basically co-opted what was their song as his own, Run-DMC "Walk This Way" style lmao, kinda hilarious that they just let that happen really honestly
When I saw Roth with Van Halen, he did indeed stop the show for a bizarre rant. Even put on a short film on the same subject. What subject? How much he loves his dogs. This is what you could've been, Kiddo.
I remember seeing him with the Foo Fighters for Dave Grohl's birthday and he had a bizarre rant in the middle of a song about how he had a freudian slip asking his wife for ketchup saying "Bitch you fucked my life up". But I got to see Lemmy befire he passed and Perry Ferrell before assaulting a bandmate.
I'm very glad you brought up his bar in Nashville. When it was revealed that it was still serving Bud Light despite him shooting an entire case of it people started to realize that his politics might be a little more flimsy than he was letting on
i'm shocked that he didn't mention the patron who fought the police there by swinging his full colostomy bag at the cops. because i was also already aware of his bar, but only because of the news story wherein a patron fought the police there by swinging his full colostomy bag at the cops. are people not familiar with the patron of Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse who fought the police there by swinging his full colostomy bag at the cops?
Seems like he hasn’t matured past then either. I won’t say he hasn’t changed (because I don’t know him or his discography well enough), but his writing is so juvenile. It honestly bums me out a lot.
This entire album is a wonderful reminder that "fuck your feelings" was not about "feelings" but "your." The issue they have is that your feelings don't matter. But their feelings? Those matter. When you say 'black people should have rights' they say 'what about MY rights' like someone at someone else's birthday party complaining that they didn't get a cake. When you say things, that's politics. When they say things, it's common sense. Kid Rock is the perfect example of a guy who hates 'snowflakes' but is the biggest snowflake of them all.
Well the thing about the "special snowflake" crowd is that they are not against the idea of people being special. They are against the idea that EVERYONE is special because that means that THEY are not any better than anyone else. You know the whole "if everyone is super then no one is." thing. They base a lot of their self esteem on comparison to the less privileged, so they are naturally defensive and angry toward movements that would try to lift those demographics up.
@@jamescook5783 you can even tell from the simile they use: snowflakes. snowflakes aren't "special" per se, their defining characteristic is that they're all distinct and unique. And this bothers the conservatives because their entire ideology hinges on painting entire groups of people in massively broad strokes, even themselves
One thing that bugs me about that crowd is the weird participation trophy. The kids weren't the ones who asked for that; it was always the parents who got miffed that their kid was left out. Like, that's your generation that made that a thing, Kid Rock. That wasn't a thing before.
@@GreekDudeYiannisbaby boomers pioneered the whole “child worship” phenomenon where they treated their children as extensions of themselves who they lived through and existed only to make them proud. They wanted their kids to seem special because THEY wanted to feel special.

Someone else mentioned being bothered by it, & I had a similar "Brother ewwwww...what's up with that? Brother, ewwwww!" recoil reaction. I think it's the fact that sex workers at any age deserve respect + safety, while also "underage sex workers" is literally criminal --- crimes against minors for whoever's hiring or coercing them. So Kid's victim-blaming by calling them basically a slur + acting like they have agency + responsibility in this situation. Like, I don't feel mad at underage sex workers --- I want them to have protection, safety, restorative justice, & the resources + support to heal + move forward in their lives. Kid sounds like he hates them. The "all the girls are b!tche$" line reinforces the Ick.
@@picahudsoniaunflocked5426 I don't think he's actually talking about them as sex workers which would be bad and gross enough but just song because they're there they are therefore "whores". Probably because they're showing their shoulders and ankles. And, as I said on a different comment, he saves the really nasty, gendered insults for the women in the song
The thing about Eminem reviving Shady for "The Death of Slim Shady" was that it was meant to show how shitty and corny and out-of-touch that persona sounds in the modern day. People keep clamoring for him to go back to it and he doesn't want to. It's a concept album about wanting to kill Slim Shady and move on from it.
Wasn't it also a way to show from his point of view what potentially would've happened to Eminem if he decided to stick with his guns and keep going down the spiral he was in during 2004 instead of changing things up to mentally recover like he actually did after said year?
I also find it funny how the ring wingers supporting the new Eminem album just completely forgot when he trashed on Trump a few years ago. They really are that braindead. Edit: “right wingers” fml 🤦♂️
I actually can't believe Todd missed this. Yeah, Eminem, the dude who made cringe Anti-Trump freestyles (not cringe because of the politics, they were certifiably really corny) and whenever he gives his thoughts seems surprisingly progressive, is the one who's turn red? Also the whole point of Em reviving Slim was to essentially tell people that he hung it up for a reason. Slim Shady being edgy isn't really edgy anymore. It's actually closer to an old, out of touch man (which means it's actually way closer to making fun of the right and people like Kid Rock than laughing with them). This is like music analysis 101. Analyzing Eminem shouldn't be difficult lol. I know it was one line from the end of the video, but I immediately had to pause and look at the comments to see if someone else mentioned this.
@@GeneralShyGuy7And even when Slim Shady was IN FULL SWING he was still relatively progressive. In the Year of Our Lord 2000, Eminem was saying "No reason a man and another man can't elope" in a chart-topping LP 4 years after the fucking Defense of Marriage Act.
One of the funniest things to come out around this era is when, either Don't Tell Me How To Live or We The People came out, Weird Al Yankovic made a post thanking people for the compliments he got for his recent Kid Rock parody, only to clarify it was actually Kid Rock. One way you can tell in particular: with all the F-bombs in these songs, since Weird Al doesn't swear, like, at all.

I’m the song he LITERALLY says “my way or the highway.” It was definitely unintentional, but if you take the lyrics in their entirety, he’s saying “you can’t tell me what to do, I’m supposed to be able to tell you what to do.”

No. Youth. Generation gaps alway amount to the same thing. Older people want things to stay the same, and the youth want change. People make up and blame generations because it help them ignore the fact that they have been like or might become like those they dislike.

@@wiretheswede For BEP the true spiritual trainwreckord would be The Beginning in 2011, when they tried to redo The E.N.D part 2 and went so off-rail that they went on hiatus. I had this album back then and today except for Dirty Bit and Just can't get enough I don't remember any of the other tracks. At least The E.N.D was somewhat cool and futuristic for the time, but with TB they became annoying and a joke, and remains so to this day. Yeah ''some'' of the most recent songs are hits, but I never hear them outside of supermarkets.
To say nothing of the cover band stuck in a Sisyphian loop of singing "All Summer Long" for the rest of their lives. They couldn't be a Bruce Springsteen cover band, or a Beatles cover band. No, their lot in life is to serenade the patrons of Kid Rock's bar with songs from his oeuvre. Even a house band at Margaritaville would have a better catalogue to work with if they were forced to stick with Jimmy Buffett.

It's hilarious that Kid Rock was comparing himself to Springsteen, a rocker as left-wing as one could find! Seriously, Bruce got onto right-wingers for misinterpreting "Born in the USA"!
I was thinking that too lmao. He even mimics the Born in the USA album cover. Either he doesn't understand he's praising a leftist album or he's praying to god his audience is too stupid to notice.
he just listened to the chorus, heard "USA" and went "YESS!!!! AMERICA!!!! WOOOOOOO" without actually thinking about the meaning within the lyrics. it's a thing ive noticed a lot with right-wing people who use another piece of media as a comparison point. the whole "you couldn't make blazing saddles today" argument and all that.
Kinda like political figures misinterpreting "Pink Houses" by Mellencamp just because of the ironically patriotic chorus. Some things never change, I guess.
@@giwake I mean shit... look at how many right-wingers unironically like Rage Against The Machine, an unapoligetically left-wing band. Right-wingers have really bad media comprehension skills; look at how many of them like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7...

They simp for Tifa, even though if she were a real person, they'd call her a blue-haired SJW. The FF7 stuff is as funny as right-wingers liking RATM.
I think it's because he knows that if you badmouth Springsteen, you lose all credibility as a rocker. The crybaby thumb whose name eludes me who wrote "Am I The Only One" complained about Springsteen and it just sounded whiny to the point of being comedic. You don't want people laughing at you if you're trying to think of yourself as a rock star.
My 40+ punk rock buddy said that there are two types of loud angry musicians - the ones that are righteously angry about real issues, and the ones who just hate being told what to do regardless of the source. The problem is that you can't be 100% sure which is which until they get old.
This is actually backed up by psychology, oddly enough. Broadly speaking, anger falls into two categories: extrinsic (caused by outside sources and problems) and intrinsic (caused by someone saying, doing or thinking someone you disagree with that you can't let go of). So this is more or less correct.
Exactly. I've noticed this as well (tho admittedly only as a mid-20s punk rock guy.) This is why I always glared at my dad kind of incredulously when he would say he was "just like (me)" as a kid, with his anarchist symbols and punk music- because like bro I've seen who you are as a 50 year old and you're just angry and hateful, meanwhile I'd be so happy and not angry if people (cough cough like my dad cough cough) would just be kind people and let others live their lives peacefully.
This. Is the EXACT reason why I have respect for socialism and communism (in theory, not how it's been practiced or preached) and none for anarchism. One school of thought is all about overhauling the entire sociopolitical system with the intent of coming up with something better that works for everyone and not just the luckiest or most fortunate, and the other is contrarian for the sake of it, with little thought of how what they want affects people other than themselves.

"Metros" in 2022 is so insanely late that I was fully convinced he was complaining about an increasing prevalence of public transport, specifically underground railway systems, over cars.
it does kinda lend a certain charm to how offline this album is. the chronically-online version of trumpism i'm used to wouldn't be caught dead without an f-slur substitute at the ready.
Kid Rock flipping wildly between “FUCK YOU FUCK THIS FUCK THAT” and “peace love unity☺️💞” in one song has got to be one of the funniest whiplashes I’ve ever heard.
>"Fuck your feelings, snowflake!" >"We all bleed red, we should come together" These sentiments should not be within the same area code, let alone within the same songs. Something something paradox of tolerance.
Monster Truck sounds like a South Park parody of a metal singer and the line "ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live" makes it feel like he's arguing with his dad about bedtime or something.
He's one of those who sees a 15 year old and thinks they're a millennial, which is as bad as those who think anyone over 35 is a boomer when the youngest boomer turns 60 this year
Conservatives wearing Slayer and Black Sabbath shirts will never not be buck wild to me considering all the pearl clutching that conservatives did during the 70s, 80s, and 90s when it came to heavy metal
Older generations were uniformly opposed to rock music in the 70's and 80's. Not just "conservatives". And Tipper Gore, a Democrat, was the one who created the PMRC.
Most probably had a liberal phase when they were younger and listened to that music. But as time passes what was once considered a progressive stance becomes conservative, and people choose to cross over into extremism when they’re told they’re beliefs, while not as bad as their parents’, still are problematic. So without that universal praise they reveal they only want validation that they can get from extremists by just being worse and never admitting they are wrong.
I swore I wouldn't get offended at Kid Rocks jabs, but the line "Underage whores" sent a cold wind through my heart Pick one word or the other, dude. Will happily be called a Snowflake jeez
Then again, this was 2022. While it was in the process of being bought out, I doubt that would apply to the album's recording process. Especially if he would refer to the largely lefty community it had before the Musk takeover. Probably just a case of a line aging terribly, not like Kid Rock's lines age any good to begin with.

Why do I feel like MGK is gonna go full Kid Rock and start making country music after his "rock" career ends? When you don't feel accepted in one genre, why not try them all? That's how someone like Kid Rock goes from hip hop to rap rock to nu metal to southern rock to country to an ungodly combination of all of them.
Not even try them all, it's always "move to country." There seems to be this idea that if you can if you can get it good with country fans, they'll sustain you as an act of political spite with the same sort-of knee-jerk "trigger the mainstream" contrarianism that MyPillow banks on with its "trigger the libs" contrarianism (Seriously, I caught one of his commercials the other day, he barely even mentions the pillows themselves anymore, it's all "cancel culture is after me, buy my stuff for FREEDOM!")

When you showed his bar in Nashville after just explaining how much he hates the way Nashville has changed due to the trendy celebrity bars popping up, it practically melted my brain. I mean just Goddamn, its almost impressive just how unaware he is of self. Awesome work bud, thanks for taking the time. We all appreciate the effort you put in to these man, truly.
To be fair. Unless the celebrity is from Tn. Most celebs do not belong in TN as they told they hated our accent and though we were idiots. Also we do not need increased prices because of higher demand thanks their their Celeb arse here... Is it wrong to not have celebs?
Living in Nashville, I know a few people who've met him and they all say he's an asshole. So not only is he actively contributing to the problem he's complaining about, but he's also making it worse by stinking the place up with his presence.
Fun fact about Kid Rock's bar in Nashville: one of the patrons got into a fight with police to the point where he was swinging around his colostomy bag.
The fact that the Parental Advisory sticker is changed to "Snowflake Advisory: Explicit Content" says everything you need to know about this album and its quality.
I wonder how he didn't get in actual legal trouble for that; if your album is full of fuck words, you're required to put the real, official sticker on it, yeah? It'd be like selling real junk food at the supermarket with a joke nutrition label.
Kid Rock pretty much did all of this stuff to sell More albums which ended up not working for him like for example when he made that video of himself in his backyard shooting up a whole case of Bud light and then just only a few months later we find out this guy was selling the same Bud light that he said he refused to drink in his own bar 🍻 pretty much all that ranting and raving he did on Bud light was just nothing more than a publicity stunt to get people to buy his music and it didn't work I honestly don't care if he's conservative He's welcome to support whoever he wants to but it's not really so much of that then I'm focused on it's more of his hypocrisy that I'm really focused on he did all of this ranting and raving on about Bud light only for himself to get caught in his lie.
@@heymistercarter. Who ALSO has weird exceptions to see across the aisle, like with environmentalism and (inasmuch as it was a cause championed by a Democrat) Tipper Gore's censorship efforts. As Todd said, "a true bipartisan douchebag."
Monster Truck performed at a lacrosse game I attended a year ago. They had this mini-stage on the back of a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck, and my sister & I were seated right above their entrance. She asked me if I ever heard any of their stuff before, because she didn't know who they were. I told her, "The only thing I really know about them is they did a song with Kid Rock about conspiracy theories or something... I still don't really know what to think of that." I happened to notice someone looking at me out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was the band's guitar tech... until they started pulling the stage into the middle of the arena, and he wasn't staying behind. So, yeah, the guitarist from Monster Truck probably hates my guts... 😅😅😅
Todd, I'm a 59 year-old former working musician. Regardless of our age difference, I've been a subscriber for many years now. As a film school graduate, I really appreciate the research and work you put into Train Wreckords and One Hit Wonderland, so much so that I wish you had the time to do 6 of each every year. But I'll take what I can get. I enjoy the pod, too.👍
When todd said we'd been 10 songs politics free but he was about to get back into it I immediately thought "oh God someone gave kid rock another beer" and was immediately proved right by the next track being titled cold beer
Kid Rock is also a nepo baby. He was born into wealth and allowed to pursue a musical career without ever having to work a normal job. He likes Republicans because of tax cuts.
Reputation is a decently good album with a few bad songs by someone who’s actually talented. Bad Reputation is a bad album where all the songs are bad to varying degrees, by someone long past his prime.
You’re not wrong, but the true final boss of bad autotune has to be Ron Browz, the genius who gave us Pop Champagne, which you have to hear to believe, and who somehow thought that song sounded good enough to use basically the same style of autotune on everything he did afterwards.
Ngl, I’m VERY happy that Todd actually spoke about how “coming together” isn’t a solution. At least from my perspective as a marginalized person, I’m tired of being demonized for not wanting to hold hands and sing Kumbaya with people who want me and my friends dead and who are actively stripping away my human rights. I don’t want to “have a friendly dialogue” with people who will shout over my voice until I give up. I want peace, but peace is born from inclusion, kindness, and respect.
Fun Fact: Unless I'm mistaken, Kid Rock is in the illustrious Hall of Shame of artists who appeared in two Trainwreckords. Kid Rock in Bad Reputation & Run DMC's Crown Royal... and Robin Thicke in Paula & Will Smith's Lost and Found.
Kid Rock makes music for the divorced dad who lives in that 1 bedroom apartment, with a mini fridge full of beer and a toilet he has to teach guests how to flush properly.
I don't like saying this about someone who's mostly known for saying political things I agree with, but everything I have ever seen about Sean Penn (especially this thing I found in this video) says that he is a genuinely stupid man
@@ToddintheShadows he made "The Last Face" which is the ultimate liberal white savior fantasy movie, which in a vacuum alone puts him in the Insincerity Hall of Fame
Kid Rock is the uncle the family never invites because he starts arguments about politics when he drinks too much, and he creepily flirts with all his female family members who had just hit puberty.
I can't think of a good reason why a 53 year old man is calling teenagers 'underage whores'. Of all the bigoted crap before hand, why is THAT the line that made me ick?
Psychology minor here whose mom is a psychologist: lots of predators, including those who prefer their victims much younger than their teenage years, refer to their victims as whores, sluts, etc. That's probably why it's pinging your ick radar.
I think Kid Rock is a specific weird kind of Gen X conservative. Not racist and clueless on most identity politics, but unable to see that the guys around him are all basically Klansmen. I know guys like this, they generally have a warped view of the world that is half "I want to piss you off" and "just let me grill". If every conservative was like that they certainly wouldn’t be good, but the right would be a lot easier to deal with as someone on the left, because guys like that are generally not actually engaged in politics beyond facebook memes.
Hm. Thanks for posting this, I'm not sure I agree but this is def something I will be thinking about. I'm trying to reach various friends + fam who lost touch with anything but RW talking points, & I'm trying to figure out which approaches work best with different people. I've always been the family progressive, so we've fought about politics for years but bc they repeat talking points some of them have drifted into saying actual fascistic h8 speech & yet they totally deny it is dehumanizing or hateful. Your comment pairs well with Todd's "2 Kinds of Racist" bit in the video. I come to Todd's channel for fun but this is genuinely something for me to consider. I want them to stop hurting other people plus they've alienated people, so it's a feedback loop. Anyways, thanks.

Todd revealing the album -debuted- peaked at #124 and his reaction to it is one of the funniest moments in Todd in the Shadows history. Edit: Sorry, it didn't debut at 124, it *peaked* at 124. The reveal was still funny
That reveal restored a little bit of my faith in this country 😅. At least no matter what political side you're on, nobody likes political albums. If it's just a song or two, fine, but making your whole album like that...we've seen how that goes a time or two on the Trainwreckords series.
I always love this "participation trophy" insult, like us Millennials at 6 years old were somehow supposed to have the foresight to go, "I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot accept this participation trophy as it will be asshole rhetoric in 25 years."
I also think it's weird to fixate on. It's extremely normal to find a way to include people in organized activities & participation is necessary for everything from fundraisers to track meets. Participation gifts are simply free merch for helping something happen that wouldn't happen if people did not PARTICIPATE. There's something vile in the way the rightwing is trying to make concepts like "not being a greedy sh-theel" bad, somehow. Inclusion is normal + good. Thanking people for their help is normal + good. Participation in everyday activities, sports, civic + social events etc is normal + good. It's weird they want to demonize things like treating others with dignity + respect.
it's such a completely bizarre thing to get angry about. i guess they think that participation trophies mean that people don't get rewarded for their work? i don't think i've ever even received a participation trophy.
@@giwake I'm not American, but in European schools, there is a sports event every year where every kid, even the ones too disabled to do sports like me, gets a participation certificate, just a pretty sheet of paper thanking the kid for being there. So, that type of participation "trophy" I know, it wasn't a literal trophy though, lol.
Fun things about Kid Rock that I learned researching him for a video: -Devil Without A Cause outsold both NSYNC’s debut album and Britney Spears’ “Oops I Did It Again” album - He namedropped Trump in one of his songs as early as his first album in 1990 - His dad owned a bunch of car dealerships in the Detroit area so he grew up super rich - The Polyfuze Method is surprisingly pretty good production-wise - He owns the rights to his independent back catalog and refuses to make those records available - His rap style has stayed basically unchanged since the beginning of his career. It’s actually kind of impressive he was still rapping like it was the 80s at the turn of the century while being one of the biggest acts in the world
I guess people in their younger adult years at the time still preferred hard rock over cute boy band stuff that they never asked for (so many teen-angst rock bands in the middle of the 90s and the boy bands come in out of nowhere for the girlies and the little kids and take over EVERYTHING like we had nothing to do with the 90s _at all)._ This was before we knew what a politics even was, like we didn't even care, we were busy being young and free. Trust me, 1991-1993 were amazing... 1994 too, except for the death of Kurt.
@@chrisrj9871 I was 14 when the first Rage Against the Machine album came out and the politics were pretty clear on there, Eddie Vedder was all over the news talking about animal rights and feminism, he wrote PRO CHOICE on his arm when Pearl Jam were on Unplugged that year. Lots of us were plugged in to the political content of our music as kids.
@@chrisrj9871 some say the onset of gangsta rap in the late 80s and the media it attracted were too political for a lot of folks. after g-funk got popular a few years later and it really started blowing up MTV and hitting the suburbs and getting white kids to spend their money that got a lot of attention too. whattayaknow, punk came back (to all the malls too!) which for the 12 years olds is political enough without them thinking too much
@@lorcannagle - stuff like that existed, we cared. it was just not as bad as it is NOW. Since George W Bush, EVERYTHINGs been a large evil political NIGHTMARE. At least we didn't have social media forcing lies into our lives everywhere we went. Don't misunderstand - I lived in a small town but I watched plenty of liberal-themed tv shows and the like, and those resonated with me as a scared gay youth who didn't want to be hated by his peers for being gay. I didn't know what politics was cuz I was 14 in 1994. I didn't know Kurt and RATM were left-political until much later in life. How anybody expects a TEENAGER (esp in the 90s) to be POLITICAL is beyond me.
The line wasn’t said during the movie, but was on the soundtrack. Though, a cartoon zit germ version of Kid Rock was the obe singing the song during the movie.
I guess they told him to make a villain song and he just completely lost all good taste? It's pretty funny that they cut exactly that line from the movie and the rest of it was fine
I've technically seen Kid Rock live because he performed at Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert's 2010 rally in DC, which feels more impossible every passing year
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live is something my gf and I sing to each other when we don't follow the instructions on food packaging or we break some pedantic rule.
14:38 Hearing Kid Rock shout "I love black people" in his usual rocker voice and then a guitar riff plays cracked me up to coughing. It's like an SNL skit.
like a "bad to the bone" meme
Does he luh blah peepo?
it was like something i'd hear the band do on Kill Tony
He reminded me of Tom Cruise screaming it in Jerry Maguire, all in a desperate effort to keep Cuba Gooding Jr. as a client.
just got to that clip i bursted out laughing lmfaoo
Some say that if you play a Kid Rock album backwards you'll hear Satan. Even worse, if you play it forward you'll hear Kid Rock.
you just spelled "dissed" backward and it still spells "dissed" LOL
On top of that, said "Satan" is just that fucking phoney baloney weenie from Dragon Ball Z, this album sucks so bad it can't even get an actual "Satan".
Calm down there Bill Hicks!!!
Great reference though!
Nice copy/paste from the joke originally about Nickelback.
that's pretty good..
Weird Al probably had the best dunk on the Kid Rock video, saying something to the effect of, "That's not my new Kid Rock parody, but that's actually the new Kid Rock video"

Definitely warranted but OUCH
The whole album sounds like a parody criticizing The "MAGA movement" but nope. Worst way to ruin your career supporting a dumb movement.

Let's just give him a trophy for something. Maybe he'll shut up.
Only masochists and npc's like things the way they are now
Gen X metro Detroit here. Kid Rock is a rich boy from the exurbs. Grew up in a mini-mansion with a 5-car garage, separate guest house, kidney-shaped in-ground pool, horse stables and a tennis court -- in a completely different county than Detroit.
His childhood mini-mansion in Macomb county sold for $1.3 million in 2019.
His father owned a Lincoln-Mercury car dealership.
His "straight out da' trailer" schtick is as fake as it gets.
Eminem is the actual working class Detroiter.
You know what made me wonder about that? Ironically the song I like the most, All Summer Long. If you grew up poor downstate, you weren't taking trips to this area. It's always an influx of middle to upper class. Lately more upper since there are literal mansions here now. That raised our taxes, thanks guys, lol
@@DestinyKiller never thought of it that way and you are 100pc right

@@DestinyKiller -- Yes, growing up in a blue-collar/working class family, I didn't have a cabin or lake house to go to "up north" like my friends whose parents had middle class white-collar jobs.
And the times my family did save up enough money to take a vacation up north, we pooled funds with at least one other set of aunts and uncles and cousins, and rented some stranger's lakehouse up north for a long weekend, with the grown-ups sleeping on the beds and couches, and the kids on the floor in sleeping bags.
It was a 3 to 4 day excursion at the most, with a good chunk of it spent driving to and from -- and wasn't anywhere NEAR "all summer long"

This is now the second Trainwreckords artist who was once married to Pamela Anderson. Insert "two nickels" joke here.

I was thinking "Two guys, one cup"?
If I had two nickles for every time Todd in the Shadows does a TrainWrecords on a former husband of Pamela Anderson, I'd have 4 nickles!

If I had a nickel every time someone was self-aware enough to realize the "two nickels" joke has been done to death in TH-cam comments, I'd have a single nickel as of yet, which kind of ruins this "two nickels" joke but I applaud you nonetheless.

I've always bristled at the weird participation trophy thing. The kids weren't the ones who asked for that; it was always the parents. Like, that's your generation that made that a thing, Kid Rock.
Sadly, no: Rock is Gen X; it was the Boomers who're responsible for that one.
More to the point, no kid ever thought they had done something when they got a participation trophy. It was humiliating and strictly for the benefit of the parents.
Lol good point. What was I supposed to do as an 8yo? Refuse it and call my parents and the staff "pussies"? I would have been called ungrateful. Which they also complain about my generation for. I also would have gotten beat and cried and again, they call us "pussies" for having trauma from that. There is no winning, except to laugh when they do cringe nonsense like this.
That reminds me of all the boomers and older Gen X-ers trying to crap on millennials and Gen-Z. You know...the people who raised these kids.
@@calmbbaerI mean, my dad is a Baby Boomer and he got a participation trophy for Little League back in the '60s. His parents' generation was the Silent Generation, so I guess they're the one to blame? Really, though, I think the real source is parents of any generation living vicariously through their kids and not being willing to accept that their kids have different interests and strengths. The form it takes may change, but I think that kind of self-centered parenting has been around forever.
Love how he says "Inflation is up like the minimum wage". Bro, the federal minimum wage hasn't changed since 2009. Not even conservative economists think the inflation of the past few years is being driven by wage increases.
Also, how is people getting paid more *bad*?
@@Chad-xs2de because then they might have mobility.
It's a fundamental principal of the present-day right-wing that everything that leftists online have made noise about then actually happened. They think minimum wage is up even in red states (it's not), that police got defunded (they didn't), I've even run into people who genuinely thought student loan forgiveness already happened. Who's going to correct them--their kids, who they already think are brainwashed? Fox News?
@@Chad-xs2de because if they have more money, prices will go up! as if they havent skyrocketed in recent years already!
Conservative economists --- well, Austrian school economists --- think inflation is driven entirely by money creation in the central banks. i.e. it's deliberate (because they redefine the word 'inflation' to exclude any other causes). So I think what he's getting at here is that by increasing minimum wage and inflation at the same time that there's a deliberate attempt to exclude hard-working Americans yadda yadda. Either that or he doesn't know what he's talking about and is just stringing together phrases he doesn't understand.
"Kid Rock is music for for dads who are allowed to see their kids on the weekend, but never do."

"Kid Rock is music for people who know exactly how much sudafed you can get for a catalytic converter."

It’s very important to point out that Kid Rock had a private tennis court in his backyard growing up. His father is Lou Ritchie, and he owned several car dealerships all over metro-Detroit. He was always a spoiled brat and the definition of a poser.
(Edit: One too many a’s in that last sentence, my bad)
ahhh. so Malibu's Most Wanted did have inspiration on a real world person: him lol
That totally makes sense. He's basically a theater kid, just like most conservatives, doing their little cosplays. Maybe the lines between the act and reality simply started to blurr...
Before he was on the charts with the Rap Rock; he tried to be a rapper and didn't get anywhere. So he pivoted to a trend!
That's why he's always sounded comically shallow even from the very beginning. He's Baby's First Country Rocker, a cheap cosplayer that doesn't know what he's talking about and has never shared an interesting thought in his life.
The only appeal that I could possibly imagine him having is that people just as boring as he is can relate to his dullness.

The band Monster Truck were seen as CanCon darlings throughout the 2010s on mainstream rock radio. Hell even the original song of Don't Tell Me How To Live was a hit.
And then when the remix with Kid Rock dropped it KILLED their career and I believe they get little to no radio play. So in a sense this album is a double trainwrecord.
Oh, really? Good! I discovered a local community/university radio station, and I rarely set my car's radio back to the various IHeartRadio stations since. Don't Tell Me How To Live was a common staple for the rock stations for a /long/ time.

I'm very glad you brought up his bar in Nashville. When it was revealed that it was still serving Bud Light despite him shooting an entire case of it people started to realize that his politics might be a little more flimsy than he was letting on
i'm shocked that he didn't mention the patron who fought the police there by swinging his full colostomy bag at the cops. because i was also already aware of his bar, but only because of the news story wherein a patron fought the police there by swinging his full colostomy bag at the cops. are people not familiar with the patron of Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse who fought the police there by swinging his full colostomy bag at the cops?
And then when pictures of him drinking Bud Light at a Colt Ford concert came up a few months after that, it helped show that even more
@@dackattac this comment has me absolutely dead
I was kinda worried about his aim … he unloaded a lot of ammo at those Bud Light cases nearby and a worrisome number of them survived unscathed.
This is a stellar analysis. That is all.
Kid Rock forgetting that millennials are in their late twenties, thirties and forties. Man permanently stuck in the 2000s. 😂
Biting the hand that feeds the nostalgia act for sure
Seems like he hasn’t matured past then either. I won’t say he hasn’t changed (because I don’t know him or his discography well enough), but his writing is so juvenile. It honestly bums me out a lot.
This entire album is a wonderful reminder that "fuck your feelings" was not about "feelings" but "your." The issue they have is that your feelings don't matter. But their feelings? Those matter. When you say 'black people should have rights' they say 'what about MY rights' like someone at someone else's birthday party complaining that they didn't get a cake. When you say things, that's politics. When they say things, it's common sense. Kid Rock is the perfect example of a guy who hates 'snowflakes' but is the biggest snowflake of them all.
The kinda guy who thinks we need a White History Month and a Straight Pride, and thinks "cis" is a slur
Well the thing about the "special snowflake" crowd is that they are not against the idea of people being special. They are against the idea that EVERYONE is special because that means that THEY are not any better than anyone else. You know the whole "if everyone is super then no one is." thing. They base a lot of their self esteem on comparison to the less privileged, so they are naturally defensive and angry toward movements that would try to lift those demographics up.
@@jamescook5783 you can even tell from the simile they use: snowflakes. snowflakes aren't "special" per se, their defining characteristic is that they're all distinct and unique. And this bothers the conservatives because their entire ideology hinges on painting entire groups of people in massively broad strokes, even themselves
One thing that bugs me about that crowd is the weird participation trophy. The kids weren't the ones who asked for that; it was always the parents who got miffed that their kid was left out. Like, that's your generation that made that a thing, Kid Rock. That wasn't a thing before.
@@GreekDudeYiannisbaby boomers pioneered the whole “child worship” phenomenon where they treated their children as extensions of themselves who they lived through and existed only to make them proud. They wanted their kids to seem special because THEY wanted to feel special.

I can't get over the phrase 'underaged whores.' So teens? Teens that are sleeping around? Those are victims?
Nashville has never been about hooking up with underaged girls. Just ask Elvis (married a 16-year-old) or Jerry Lee Lewis (married a 14-year-old).
Whaaaat a conservative victim blaming teens for being groomed into promiscuity instead of the abusers? Color me surprise
Someone else mentioned being bothered by it, & I had a similar "Brother ewwwww...what's up with that? Brother, ewwwww!" recoil reaction.
I think it's the fact that sex workers at any age deserve respect + safety, while also "underage sex workers" is literally criminal --- crimes against minors for whoever's hiring or coercing them. So Kid's victim-blaming by calling them basically a slur + acting like they have agency + responsibility in this situation.
Like, I don't feel mad at underage sex workers --- I want them to have protection, safety, restorative justice, & the resources + support to heal + move forward in their lives. Kid sounds like he hates them. The "all the girls are b!tche$" line reinforces the Ick.
@@picahudsoniaunflocked5426 I don't think he's actually talking about them as sex workers which would be bad and gross enough but just song because they're there they are therefore "whores". Probably because they're showing their shoulders and ankles.
And, as I said on a different comment, he saves the really nasty, gendered insults for the women in the song
Ehhhh he probably wouldn’t care anyways since it’s “mandatory” to deal with those sort of people in his eyes
The thing about Eminem reviving Shady for "The Death of Slim Shady" was that it was meant to show how shitty and corny and out-of-touch that persona sounds in the modern day. People keep clamoring for him to go back to it and he doesn't want to. It's a concept album about wanting to kill Slim Shady and move on from it.
Wasn't it also a way to show from his point of view what potentially would've happened to Eminem if he decided to stick with his guns and keep going down the spiral he was in during 2004 instead of changing things up to mentally recover like he actually did after said year?
I also find it funny how the ring wingers supporting the new Eminem album just completely forgot when he trashed on Trump a few years ago. They really are that braindead.
Edit: “right wingers” fml 🤦♂️
I actually can't believe Todd missed this. Yeah, Eminem, the dude who made cringe Anti-Trump freestyles (not cringe because of the politics, they were certifiably really corny) and whenever he gives his thoughts seems surprisingly progressive, is the one who's turn red? Also the whole point of Em reviving Slim was to essentially tell people that he hung it up for a reason. Slim Shady being edgy isn't really edgy anymore. It's actually closer to an old, out of touch man (which means it's actually way closer to making fun of the right and people like Kid Rock than laughing with them).
This is like music analysis 101. Analyzing Eminem shouldn't be difficult lol. I know it was one line from the end of the video, but I immediately had to pause and look at the comments to see if someone else mentioned this.
@@GeneralShyGuy7Eminem is - ironically - the most "politically correct" rapper of his generation, if you think about it.
@@GeneralShyGuy7And even when Slim Shady was IN FULL SWING he was still relatively progressive. In the Year of Our Lord 2000, Eminem was saying "No reason a man and another man can't elope" in a chart-topping LP 4 years after the fucking Defense of Marriage Act.
One of the funniest things to come out around this era is when, either Don't Tell Me How To Live or We The People came out, Weird Al Yankovic made a post thanking people for the compliments he got for his recent Kid Rock parody, only to clarify it was actually Kid Rock.

@@mattphillips3537 those cohotrs are typically agreed to be 15 years long, so Millenials are currently ~ 29-44 (27-42 at the time of Bad Reputation release). Ultimately - adults. Not even young adults, just regular adults approaching middle age. It's such a werid group to be angry at.

No. Youth. Generation gaps alway amount to the same thing. Older people want things to stay the same, and the youth want change. People make up and blame generations because it help them ignore the fact that they have been like or might become like those they dislike.

@@wiretheswede For BEP the true spiritual trainwreckord would be The Beginning in 2011, when they tried to redo The E.N.D part 2 and went so off-rail that they went on hiatus.

I was wondering why he mentioned Beverly Hills Cop 2 on the podcast semi recently. I guess the version of Break Down of this abulm explains that.
It's hilarious that Kid Rock was comparing himself to Springsteen, a rocker as left-wing as one could find! Seriously, Bruce got onto right-wingers for misinterpreting "Born in the USA"!
I was thinking that too lmao. He even mimics the Born in the USA album cover. Either he doesn't understand he's praising a leftist album or he's praying to god his audience is too stupid to notice.
he just listened to the chorus, heard "USA" and went "YESS!!!! AMERICA!!!! WOOOOOOO" without actually thinking about the meaning within the lyrics.
it's a thing ive noticed a lot with right-wing people who use another piece of media as a comparison point. the whole "you couldn't make blazing saddles today" argument and all that.
Kinda like political figures misinterpreting "Pink Houses" by Mellencamp just because of the ironically patriotic chorus. Some things never change, I guess.
@@giwake I mean shit... look at how many right-wingers unironically like Rage Against The Machine, an unapoligetically left-wing band. Right-wingers have really bad media comprehension skills; look at how many of them like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7... FF7 in particular is HILARIOUS to me because the thing they got mad about in FF7: Remake was "Oh, they 'shrank' Tifa's boobs!" because they put her in a fucking sports bra, but seem to neglect the fact the plot isn't even SUBTLY pro-climate action and anti-capitalist. They simp for Tifa, even though if she were a real person, they'd call her a blue-haired SJW. The FF7 stuff is as funny as right-wingers liking RATM.
I think it's because he knows that if you badmouth Springsteen, you lose all credibility as a rocker. The crybaby thumb whose name eludes me who wrote "Am I The Only One" complained about Springsteen and it just sounded whiny to the point of being comedic. You don't want people laughing at you if you're trying to think of yourself as a rock star.
My 40+ punk rock buddy said that there are two types of loud angry musicians - the ones that are righteously angry about real issues, and the ones who just hate being told what to do regardless of the source. The problem is that you can't be 100% sure which is which until they get old.
This is actually backed up by psychology, oddly enough. Broadly speaking, anger falls into two categories: extrinsic (caused by outside sources and problems) and intrinsic (caused by someone saying, doing or thinking someone you disagree with that you can't let go of). So this is more or less correct.
Exactly. I've noticed this as well (tho admittedly only as a mid-20s punk rock guy.)
This is why I always glared at my dad kind of incredulously when he would say he was "just like (me)" as a kid, with his anarchist symbols and punk music- because like bro I've seen who you are as a 50 year old and you're just angry and hateful, meanwhile I'd be so happy and not angry if people (cough cough like my dad cough cough) would just be kind people and let others live their lives peacefully.
This. Is the EXACT reason why I have respect for socialism and communism (in theory, not how it's been practiced or preached) and none for anarchism. One school of thought is all about overhauling the entire sociopolitical system with the intent of coming up with something better that works for everyone and not just the luckiest or most fortunate, and the other is contrarian for the sake of it, with little thought of how what they want affects people other than themselves.

Conservatives wearing Slayer and Black Sabbath shirts will never not be buck wild to me considering all the pearl clutching that conservatives did during the 70s, 80s, and 90s when it came to heavy metal
I'm old enough to remember when the idea of Ozzy Osbourne played in a grocery store would probably get a person arrested.
Older generations were uniformly opposed to rock music in the 70's and 80's. Not just "conservatives". And Tipper Gore, a Democrat, was the one who created the PMRC.
Most probably had a liberal phase when they were younger and listened to that music. But as time passes what was once considered a progressive stance becomes conservative, and people choose to cross over into extremism when they’re told they’re beliefs, while not as bad as their parents’, still are problematic. So without that universal praise they reveal they only want validation that they can get from extremists by just being worse and never admitting they are wrong.
to be fair, some of Slayer are MAGA. just especially not Kerry King.

Thank you for bringing to my attention that there is a Trainwreckords episode that I missed and _desperately_ need to watch
It hurt so much because he was losing to a bird.
Wasn't... wasn't an elderly rock star saying "I pooped my pants" over and over a South Park joke? So, at best, it's a reference to an old South Park episode, quoted wrong, like a bad office wannabe comedian that can't even tell the joke right.
@@mightyfilm It was Rod Stewart, if I remember correctly.
@@insertcleverjoke8383 I gotta watch that one again. That Liz Phair album is seriously the most ludicrous thing he ever talked about on Trainwreckords lmao
Todd, I’m giving you a thumbs up because I love your videos. But if the TH-cam algorithm now starts recommending Kid Rock content because of it, I will be so mad at you.
I removed this from my watch history once I was done JUST to make sure...
I have never seen an artist exude “old man yells at clouds” energy as much as kid rock.

When you showed his bar in Nashville after just explaining how much he hates the way Nashville has changed due to the trendy celebrity bars popping up, it practically melted my brain. I mean just Goddamn, its almost impressive just how unaware he is of self. Awesome work bud, thanks for taking the time. We all appreciate the effort you put in to these man, truly.
To be fair. Unless the celebrity is from Tn. Most celebs do not belong in TN as they told they hated our accent and though we were idiots. Also we do not need increased prices because of higher demand thanks their their Celeb arse here... Is it wrong to not have celebs?
Living in Nashville, I know a few people who've met him and they all say he's an asshole. So not only is he actively contributing to the problem he's complaining about, but he's also making it worse by stinking the place up with his presence.
So he's uh Detroit till he dies (whatever) but decides to put his bar in Nashville?
@@MaoRattoto be fair people from Tennessee ARE idiots with stupid accents
This was my favorite comment in a thread just fuckin FULL of gems!!!
Fun fact about Kid Rock's bar in Nashville: one of the patrons got into a fight with police to the point where he was swinging around his colostomy bag.
I want to make a Liz Phair "peña colostomy" joke but I'm too tired, un-funny, & uncreative to make it work.
The fact that the Parental Advisory sticker is changed to "Snowflake Advisory: Explicit Content" says everything you need to know about this album and its quality.
It's kidzbop for boomers.
🙃Kid's so kwirky that way I guess.
Can’t wait to drop my parental advisory MAGA TEARZ record. They’ll be so owned.
I wonder how he didn't get in actual legal trouble for that; if your album is full of fuck words, you're required to put the real, official sticker on it, yeah? It'd be like selling real junk food at the supermarket with a joke nutrition label.
Kid Rock pretty much did all of this stuff to sell More albums which ended up not working for him like for example when he made that video of himself in his backyard shooting up a whole case of Bud light and then just only a few months later we find out this guy was selling the same Bud light that he said he refused to drink in his own bar 🍻 pretty much all that ranting and raving he did on Bud light was just nothing more than a publicity stunt to get people to buy his music and it didn't work I honestly don't care if he's conservative He's welcome to support whoever he wants to but it's not really so much of that then I'm focused on it's more of his hypocrisy that I'm really focused on he did all of this ranting and raving on about Bud light only for himself to get caught in his lie.
"I got a bad reputation for having a good time" makes me think of Mike Love saying "Life in prison as a ladies man"
Considering Mike Love is also an avid Trump supporter and ally, it makes way too much sense.
Two different comments comparing Kid Rock to Mike Love in completely different ways. If that doesn't say it all...
@@heymistercarter. Who ALSO has weird exceptions to see across the aisle, like with environmentalism and (inasmuch as it was a cause championed by a Democrat) Tipper Gore's censorship efforts. As Todd said, "a true bipartisan douchebag."
"No I don't like Kid Rock at all" Brain Wilson
As someone who didn’t really get into music growing up it’s wild getting an education in music entirely in the context of failure
I'm in a similar boat.
Not the worst way to go about it, honestly. In order to understand what works, you must understand what doesn't.
Monster Truck performed at a lacrosse game I attended a year ago. They had this mini-stage on the back of a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck, and my sister & I were seated right above their entrance. She asked me if I ever heard any of their stuff before, because she didn't know who they were. I told her, "The only thing I really know about them is they did a song with Kid Rock about conspiracy theories or something... I still don't really know what to think of that." I happened to notice someone looking at me out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was the band's guitar tech... until they started pulling the stage into the middle of the arena, and he wasn't staying behind.
So, yeah, the guitarist from Monster Truck probably hates my guts... 😅😅😅
In your defence, you were in no way telling him how to live.
Todd, I'm a 59 year-old former working musician. Regardless of our age difference, I've been a subscriber for many years now. As a film school graduate, I really appreciate the research and work you put into Train Wreckords and One Hit Wonderland, so much so that I wish you had the time to do 6 of each every year. But I'll take what I can get. I enjoy the pod, too.👍
Kid rock keeps trying to rep Michigan and he's been disowned there for like fifteen years now.
The only song I hear on the radio up here or in the wild at all is All Summer Long (for obvious reasons)

Kid Rock is also a nepo baby. He was born into wealth and allowed to pursue a musical career without ever having to work a normal job. He likes Republicans because of tax cuts.
And guns , don’t forget guns . One of the 2 biggest reasons anybody likes the republicans .

Reputation is a decently good album with a few bad songs by someone who’s actually talented. Bad Reputation is a bad album where all the songs are bad to varying degrees, by someone long past his prime.
Surprised you didn't mention the trainwreck that is "Never Enough."
Bad autotune has a final boss, and his name is Kid Rock.
Other than the horrendous autotune, there's probably not enough to say about the track to spend much time on.
It sounds like what happens if you take an autotune song and tried to drown it.
You’re not wrong, but the true final boss of bad autotune has to be Ron Browz, the genius who gave us Pop Champagne, which you have to hear to believe, and who somehow thought that song sounded good enough to use basically the same style of autotune on everything he did afterwards.
The autotune saved the song from being boring
That song is so grotesque, it actually started to sound good to me. It’s like a huge shitpost.
Ngl, I’m VERY happy that Todd actually spoke about how “coming together” isn’t a solution. At least from my perspective as a marginalized person, I’m tired of being demonized for not wanting to hold hands and sing Kumbaya with people who want me and my friends dead and who are actively stripping away my human rights. I don’t want to “have a friendly dialogue” with people who will shout over my voice until I give up. I want peace, but peace is born from inclusion, kindness, and respect.
Fun Fact: Unless I'm mistaken, Kid Rock is in the illustrious Hall of Shame of artists who appeared in two Trainwreckords. Kid Rock in Bad Reputation & Run DMC's Crown Royal... and Robin Thicke in Paula & Will Smith's Lost and Found.
Seeing my comment pop up at 10:53 made my entire day, Todd! Lifelong fan since college, you're one of my biggest influences as a critic.

"...tied himself to the most unlikeable man in America." I think that's a justifiable, if perhaps too generous, way to refer to Sean Penn.
I don't like saying this about someone who's mostly known for saying political things I agree with, but everything I have ever seen about Sean Penn (especially this thing I found in this video) says that he is a genuinely stupid man
That terrible novel he wrote ['Bob Honey who just do stuff'] didn't do him any favours either.

Didn't sean penn also beat the ever loving shit out of Madonna when they were married?
@@ToddintheShadows he made "The Last Face" which is the ultimate liberal white savior fantasy movie, which in a vacuum alone puts him in the Insincerity Hall of Fame
Kid Rock is the uncle the family never invites because he starts arguments about politics when he drinks too much, and he creepily flirts with all his female family members who had just hit puberty.
he's also always late on child support payments from the four so far confirmed baby mamas!
And they're worried about how much time he's spending with uncle Aaron
Does he tell them about his hairy legs that get blond in the sun?
I can't think of a good reason why a 53 year old man is calling teenagers 'underage whores'.

Psychology minor here whose mom is a psychologist: lots of predators, including those who prefer their victims much younger than their teenage years, refer to their victims as whores, sluts, etc. That's probably why it's pinging your ick radar.
@@シロダサンダー guess it's not so mandatory anymore 😔
I can’t think of a good reason a 53 year old man calls himself“ kid rock” .
LIkely because an underage sex worker isn't going to be doing it voluntarily.
I think Kid Rock is a specific weird kind of Gen X conservative. Not racist and clueless on most identity politics, but unable to see that the guys around him are all basically Klansmen. I know guys like this, they generally have a warped view of the world that is half "I want to piss you off" and "just let me grill". If every conservative was like that they certainly wouldn’t be good, but the right would be a lot easier to deal with as someone on the left, because guys like that are generally not actually engaged in politics beyond facebook memes.
Hm. Thanks for posting this, I'm not sure I agree but this is def something I will be thinking about. I'm trying to reach various friends + fam who lost touch with anything but RW talking points, & I'm trying to figure out which approaches work best with different people. I've always been the family progressive, so we've fought about politics for years but bc they repeat talking points some of them have drifted into saying actual fascistic h8 speech & yet they totally deny it is dehumanizing or hateful. Your comment pairs well with Todd's "2 Kinds of Racist" bit in the video. I come to Todd's channel for fun but this is genuinely something for me to consider. I want them to stop hurting other people plus they've alienated people, so it's a feedback loop. Anyways, thanks.

That reveal restored a little bit of my faith in this country 😅. At least no matter what political side you're on, nobody likes political albums. If it's just a song or two, fine, but making your whole album like that...we've seen how that goes a time or two on the Trainwreckords series.

I always love this "participation trophy" insult, like us Millennials at 6 years old were somehow supposed to have the foresight to go, "I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot accept this participation trophy as it will be asshole rhetoric in 25 years."
I also think it's weird to fixate on. It's extremely normal to find a way to include people in organized activities & participation is necessary for everything from fundraisers to track meets. Participation gifts are simply free merch for helping something happen that wouldn't happen if people did not PARTICIPATE.
There's something vile in the way the rightwing is trying to make concepts like "not being a greedy sh-theel" bad, somehow. Inclusion is normal + good. Thanking people for their help is normal + good. Participation in everyday activities, sports, civic + social events etc is normal + good. It's weird they want to demonize things like treating others with dignity + respect.
it's such a completely bizarre thing to get angry about. i guess they think that participation trophies mean that people don't get rewarded for their work?
i don't think i've ever even received a participation trophy.
@@giwake I'm not American, but in European schools, there is a sports event every year where every kid, even the ones too disabled to do sports like me, gets a participation certificate, just a pretty sheet of paper thanking the kid for being there. So, that type of participation "trophy" I know, it wasn't a literal trophy though, lol.
Fun things about Kid Rock that I learned researching him for a video:
-Devil Without A Cause outsold both NSYNC’s debut album and Britney Spears’ “Oops I Did It Again” album
- He namedropped Trump in one of his songs as early as his first album in 1990
- His dad owned a bunch of car dealerships in the Detroit area so he grew up super rich
- The Polyfuze Method is surprisingly pretty good production-wise
- He owns the rights to his independent back catalog and refuses to make those records available
- His rap style has stayed basically unchanged since the beginning of his career. It’s actually kind of impressive he was still rapping like it was the 80s at the turn of the century while being one of the biggest acts in the world
I guess people in their younger adult years at the time still preferred hard rock over cute boy band stuff that they never asked for (so many teen-angst rock bands in the middle of the 90s and the boy bands come in out of nowhere for the girlies and the little kids and take over EVERYTHING like we had nothing to do with the 90s _at all)._ This was before we knew what a politics even was, like we didn't even care, we were busy being young and free. Trust me, 1991-1993 were amazing... 1994 too, except for the death of Kurt.
@@chrisrj9871YOU didn't know what politics was. A lot of great bands, and a lot of young people, knew damn well.
@@chrisrj9871 I was 14 when the first Rage Against the Machine album came out and the politics were pretty clear on there, Eddie Vedder was all over the news talking about animal rights and feminism, he wrote PRO CHOICE on his arm when Pearl Jam were on Unplugged that year. Lots of us were plugged in to the political content of our music as kids.
@@chrisrj9871 some say the onset of gangsta rap in the late 80s and the media it attracted were too political for a lot of folks. after g-funk got popular a few years later and it really started blowing up MTV and hitting the suburbs and getting white kids to spend their money that got a lot of attention too. whattayaknow, punk came back (to all the malls too!) which for the 12 years olds is political enough without them thinking too much
@@lorcannagle - stuff like that existed, we cared. it was just not as bad as it is NOW. Since George W Bush, EVERYTHINGs been a large evil political NIGHTMARE. At least we didn't have social media forcing lies into our lives everywhere we went.
Don't misunderstand - I lived in a small town but I watched plenty of liberal-themed tv shows and the like, and those resonated with me as a scared gay youth who didn't want to be hated by his peers for being gay. I didn't know what politics was cuz I was 14 in 1994. I didn't know Kurt and RATM were left-political until much later in life. How anybody expects a TEENAGER (esp in the 90s) to be POLITICAL is beyond me.

The most disgusting part about Kid Rock's "statutory should be mandatory" line is that it came from the soundtrack for OSMOSIS JONES. A KID'S MOVIE.
..... WHAT?
@@tiraXpyrrhano joke. Look it up.
The line wasn’t said during the movie, but was on the soundtrack. Though, a cartoon zit germ version of Kid Rock was the obe singing the song during the movie.
I guess they told him to make a villain song and he just completely lost all good taste? It's pretty funny that they cut exactly that line from the movie and the rest of it was fine
Kid Rock is the kind of dude to tell a foreign couple to "speak American!" when they speak anything other than English.
I've technically seen Kid Rock live because he performed at Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert's 2010 rally in DC, which feels more impossible every passing year
