Kid Rock Says Radiohead's OK For Computers, Not Parties
Yahoo! Music, Mar 28, 2002 12:00 pm PST
(3/28/02, 12 p.m. ET) -- Radiohead is one of the most critically acclaimed modern rock bands of the decade, but don't count rap-rocker Kid Rock as a fan. The "American Bad Ass" recently told LAUNCH that he doesn't understand all the fuss about the veteran British band.
Rock explained, "I mean, I'm sure nice guys, and we could probably have a beer and have a great time hanging out, but I don't just don't like the music," he said. "I do not get it at all. I haven't given a lot of it a chance. It might be ignorant on my part, but for the most part I've seen a few live things and heard some records. If I'm having a party and I've got some chicks over hanging out, and all my boys are hanging out, I'm not grabbing for the Radiohead CD. Flat out, it's not gonna happen. If I'm in the office with all my computer buddies and we're trying to design a website, I might put on Radiohead."
Meanwhile, Kid Rock continues on his Cocky world tour. He and his Twisted Brown Trucker band hit the Municipal Arena in Kansas City tonight (March 28). Radiohead has some dates in Portugal and Spain lined up for July and August, and is reportedly working on some more rock-oriented material that might better suit Kid Rock's future parties.
