In a career spanning 30 years, Rock’s musical style alternates between rock, hip hop and country. A multi-instrumentalist, Kid plays everything from the flugelhorn to the sousaphone. Bawitdaba!

Kid Rock had a turbulent on again off again relationship with Pamela Anderson. At the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, Ritchie got into a fistfight with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, another ex of Anderson’s, and was charged with assault after sodomizing Lee with an MTV award statue. A month later, he was arrested and charged with battery after fighting with a Waffle House waitress for inserting her thumb into his grits.

Taco Bell

Kid was in the news recently for mistaking a Taco Bell drive thru for an ATM. Kid Rock was punching and kicking the drive thru menu board, when it would not disperse the stack of $20 dollar bills he was requesting. Frustrated, drunk and with a full bladder, Kid Rock relieved himself into the drive thru speaker, causing an electrical short and fire. Kid Rock stumbled back into the car and the trio passed out. Cheers Kid!
