Holy shit, aging has hit him like a sledgehammer. The guy is apparently 55 but looks like he's 75. Is it weak genes? Is it poor lifestyle? Or is it from having a curdled and hate-filled soul? Maybe all three I guess. But regardless, bubba looks like he's about to head to the old folks home any day.
I used to hang with a lot of hard-partying night-owls. Combining poor sleep, cigarettes, and alcohol can age a person pretty damn fast. If you add hard drugs to the mix, or even some legitimate prescriptions, it happens faster.
Supposedly he only allowed classical music in their house and hated country music. He would've hated this and his wife is a liar disgracing his name for saying otherwise.
In this creep's defense, If I could come out of retirement and make millions more off the absolute dumbest motherfuckers on the planet by putting in the bare minimum amount of effort....I'd have to seriously consider it.
He is rich, privileged white boy, who came from rich family, grew up in a fuckin mansion, went to private school, etc etc.
But he is obsessed with trying to cosplay as some low income, blue collar, trailer park livin dude, whose highest achievement in life was fondling his sisters tit when she was drunk and unconscious after a party when he was 15.
eh. I dunno... Maybe for your god. My god (Church of Satan) says to use science to make sure your house is not built on flood plains. He/She (its both) also says to mind your own business and make sure other people are fed and educated.
No one likes these ideas. They prefer the deadly flood.
I just don't think this is productive and is slightly hypocritical. Every Superbowl halftime show is lip synced, the artist doesn't get a choice, it's mandated by the NFL. I can't really criticize this shit for it.
I can absolutely criticize these fascists and pedo defenders for everything else though.
This isn’t true. It is down to artist choice. Usher and Beyonce were live, Katy Perry was part-live, part-lip-sync, and the RHCP sang live with pre-recorded instruments.
Kid Rock sucks, and there was no reason for him to flail around on stage, but there's a reason entertainers lip sync: Axl Rose 2002 VMAs. Other good reasons exist, but man...I remember watching that live and thinking he must have mocked the rock gods.
::: spoiler i apologize, but this is my hobby horse. so, here is my musician rant.
have you heard stevie nicks lately? she's just aged, same as the rest of us. her voice ain't what it used to be, that's no reason to ban someone from live performing. take it from someone who has been a very bad professional musician, the line of "are you good enough" is "do you have the chutzpah to stand up in front of a crowd". that's it. punk is full of musicians who are terrible at their instruments but they play together, they have the emotion and they have fun. The Gin Blossoms' guitarist knew two chords and one strumming pattern on their first two albums and was really more of a country guitarist than a pop/alternative guy. Thousands of people remember their songs fondly. It's not about good, it's about emotion and enjoyment, and if you get that when you play that's what people go to see. -source i've played with tower of power, afterglow, confunkshun, i'm not going to name my band or the actual local bands that i sit in with but sitting in with those 3 were the highlights
:::
anyways.
Hell yeah. And I suppose my "not good enough" would be better stated as "if a musician or venue is insecure or uncomfortable with a real performance, they shouldn't play live".
I saw a clip of the performance... It was a really bad lip sync. As in he kept pulling the mic away from his head well before the lyrics were over. I'd heard the controversy and was like, I'm sure it wasn't that obvious he was lip syncing, and was floored when I saw the actual performance.

I was just wondering if we shouldn't be calling him Old Man Rock by now. But he's only 3 years older than I am? He looks at least a decade older.

If you're a decent performer there's no need. If you're not good enough without studio editing, you shouldn't be performing live anyway.
