Absolutely the most repulsive performer I've ever seen. I lasted one song before walking out. Blech!

At least he is more "hip" with the kids than Gene freaking Simmons!!!

He's a more recent has-been. I could find more positive to say about Simmons, but it's not worth the effort.

It seems 95% of the musicians the various race series book either suck or are a bad mismatch.

The San Jose people seem to have a clue. They got the B52s in '05. In '06 they had David Lee Roth and Pete Escovito. Frankly, I thought David would come across as pathetic, but I had some free time, so thought I'd check out a song or two. They did only Van Halen songs (most appropriate for this gig), he was in peak form and the band were all extremely talented and not only didn't degrade the songs, but added to them. So, possibly better musically than Van Halen ever was. (Except no light show, not too much jumping around like 20 year olds, and the amps were only turned up to 10.)

You see that is the problem, you are playing at 10 you can go anywhere. That is when you need to go to ELEVEN.

As far as Kid Rock goes, Bob is the nicest celebrity that I ever met in a strip club.
