Danko Jones has made his opinion clear when it comes to fellow Canadian rock act MONSTER TRUCK collaborating with Kid Rock for his latest song and video.
Kid Rock dropped his latest single, “Don’t Tell Me How to Live”, on Friday (November 19) which is an anthem against “woke” culture and a middle finger to a society where everyone is getting “offended’ by everything and everyone.
“Don’t Tell Me How To Live” was recorded with MONSTER TRUCK and plays off their 2015 song of the same name. The accompanying video which features Kid Rock telling his critics to “kiss my ass” while he and MONSTER TRUCK’s Jon Harvey trade off vocals, can be seen just below this post.
Yesterday (November 20), Danko Jones took to his Twitter account to make his opinion quite clear about Kid Rock’s new song with MONSTER TRUCK, saying it gets the band “a lifetime membership in the douchebag hall of fame.”
“Disappointed to hear of a certain band on a song with a certain musician who has been so public with his MAGA politics, including uttering the phrase ‘Fuck Colin Kaepernick’ during a live performance,” Danko wrote. “It’s tantamount to standing in solidarity with him. Gross. And the video of them posing as rednecks in fur coats is FUCKING EMBARRASSING Disappointed and embarrassed FOR that band.
“I think it’s fitting that Kid Rock’s piece of shit song, ‘Don’t Tell Me How To Live’, is released on the day of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict,” he continued.
“Just so you know, I DON’T FUCK WITH bands that buddy up next to a racist POS. Wearing fur coats, sporting guns and smoking cigars in the music video gets that band a lifetime membership in the douchebag hall of fame. Embarrassing.
“Kid Rock said ‘Fuck Colin Kaepernick’ during a concert,” Danko added. “Colin Kaepernick sacrificed his career to draw attention to racial inequality. If you stand alongside Kid Rock in a music vid calling out ‘snowflakes’, sporting fur coats & guns, you’re as big a piece of shit as Kid Rock.”

Colin Kaepernick sacrificed his career to draw attention to racial inequality.
If you stand alongside Kid Rock in a music vid calling out “snowflakes”, sporting fur coats & guns, you’re as big a piece of shit as Kid Rock.

I’m a music fan and I think it’s a good tune…I don’t agree with most of the things he has to say and that’s fine…I like some stuff from GG Allin as well and that guy was truly fucked…I don’t care about their politics, I care about Rock and Roll????

Not to mention, the song itself is shameless (surprise!), infantile and oh-so embarrassing. That, and he rhymes Roth with Boss.
