Heres the thing. I dont get the feeling Kid Rock is trying to make money off Sweet Home Alabama. Aka riding the songs coat tails. I truely believe Kid Rock just loves the song and wanted to attach lyrics of his own teenage life to it. And it reflects in the song. I dont listen to this song and think " OMG ripping Skynard off " . I honestly listen to it and think its a great summer toon. Nothing more, nothing less. I appreciate Kid Rock quite a bit. He doesnt come off as some poppy rap rock douche. He knows his music, respects those who came before and i think he's just giving a shout out with this song. Its a good song. Stop trying to be all elite and shit. Its a good song.

I was gunna make a thread last week about how i thought Kid Rock was more the just a fad. I like the guy as a musician. I think he's talented. His music isnt grammy worthy, but i respect him enough and the music enough to enjoy it and not come off as some dipshit with a giant stick up my ass preaching Skinnard, Zepplin and Hendrix like i actually was around to feel those guys at the time they were big.

Obviously the guys in Lynyrd Skynyrd don't think Kid Rock ripped them off since they're currently on tour with him.

He always plays covers he likes at his shows and Sweet Home Alabama is always one of them.

But does Warren Zevon fucking approve? That is the true question, and the true song being fucked with. Listening to it right now. The first line of this song is better than Kid Rocks or Lynyrd Skynyrds stupid song.

I SAW A WEREWOLF WITH A CHINESE MENU IN HIS HAND.

Damn right. It's still one of my top 6, next to a tyraid of Zeppelin.

I did try to give Kid Rock the benefit of the doubt, even bought into the whole 'Hey, it's a good song to hear on the road to work'....However, I've always felt that 'Werewolves of London' was a good enough song to hear in the car and prefer Warren Zevon's lyrics to Kid Rocks butchering. I know it's not a cover, but for fuck's sake...He could have made something DECENT with the borrowed instrumentals.
