Why is everyone calling Kid Rock a rip off? A lot of people who rapped back then used instrumentals of other peoples songs. Kid Rock also has a song with an instrumental of Rush's song "Tom Sawyer."
all you needed to tab was any fills and the solo. because the riffs are metallica\'s \"sad but true\". but good tab.
it's a rip off of Metallica Sad But True...man Kid Rock's a punk.
