Nine Inch Nails drummer Josh Freese recently took a shot at Kid Rock’s music catalog value. He shared a satirical news headline on Instagram.
Josh Freese takes shot at Kid Rock
Freese’s post featured a fabricated news story designed to mock the perceived worth of Kid Rock’s musical output.
In the made-up headline, Josh Freese posted, “Kid Rock Sells Entire Music Catalog for Extra-Large Bucket of Cheese Balls.”
The drummer’s social media shot appears to be his take on the relative value and cultural impact of different artists’ musical catalogs in today’s market.
Kid Rock’s early ticket sales for his 2026 tour have raised questions after online ticketing observers noted sluggish presale windows. The singer, known for criticizing modern ticketing practices, creates a contrast between his public stance and how his onsale is viewed by fans and resale accounts.
Early sales appear weak, with high prices and limited transfer options potentially discouraging fans from purchasing early, especially if they’re worried about reselling tickets at face value when plans change.
Many fans are making calls to address bot activity, overhaul queue mechanics, and eliminate platinum and dynamic pricing on Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
The pricing conversation also arrives as Kid Rock has previously been vocal about ticketing practices, including a period when he backtracked on a Ticketmaster boycott after publicly criticising the system.
