The original "Redneck Paradise" video which was shot entirely on Kid Rock's 3rd annual Chillin' The Most Cruise in 2012 and then shown to fans at the end of the cruise has surfaced on YouTube. CLICK HERE to watch the fan-captured video.

As we reported last week, Kid Rock has re-recorded "Redneck Paradise" with Hank Williams Jr. and the pair recently shot a new video in Troy, Alabama. It is therefore unlikely that the original Chillin The Most version of the video will ever be officially released.

***UPDATE: This video has now been removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim by Warner Music Group***

Kid Rock said in a blog on his official website last night that the comments he made about lip-syncers at the Billboard Awards on Sunday were not aimed at anybody in particular. "I didn't even see any of the performances! I showed up, did the award, spoke my mind, and left," he said. "There should be no reason for anyone to get their panties in a bunch, unless of course, well....We don't need to go there! lol"

Meanwhile, on the topic of what was in the coffee mug he took on stage with him Rock said "I was drinking coffee by the way - the Beam was gone from the night before!"

Kid Rock also spoke about the Tiger Jam event he attended saying, "great time this weekend at Tiger Jam. Good people, good golf, good show, good gambling and all for a great cause! Made some new friends and really enjoyed everyones company. Thanks to Tiger and his Foundation for making it so enjoyable, first class folks all the way around!"

Kid Rock stated in a blog on his website last night that tickets for his upcoming "Best Night Ever" tour are selling fast.

Kid Rock said, "ticket sales are through the roof and it is shaping up to be one hell of a good time!"

All tickets on the tour are priced at $20 and it's a model which, if successful, could change the music industry.

Meanwhile, Kid Rock announced on Twitter that a second date in Melbourne has been added to Bon Jovi's tour of Australia for which Kid Rock is the support act. The new dates is on Dec-8th.

Kid Rock raised a few eyebrows at the Billboard Music Awards last night whilst presenting the award for best rap song. Kid Rock walked on the stage with a coffee mug in hand and said, "Let's give it up for people lip-synching under pre-recorded music.” Social media went into overdrive with viewers questioning who the comment was aimed at, Kid Rock was soon trending worldwide on Twitter. Some concluded that the comment was aimed specifically at Selena Gomez who had performed earlier on the show, whilst others thought it was just a general comment.

Reading Twitter it would be fair to say that the reaction to his comment was mostly positive and he may have even made a few new fans.

The new video for Kid Rock's song "Redneck Paradise" featuring Hank Williams Jr. was shot in Troy, Alabama last month the Troy Messenger reports. Kid Rock's publicist Kirt Webster said, "Hank Williams Jr. and Kid Rock love Alabama so much they both have residences in the Troy area. The music video for “Redneck Paradise” is being filmed in the area."

One location used in the shoot was the Double Branch Lounge. “I am glad they picked my place,” said Double Branch owner Max Reeves. “I just told them not to remove the duct tape because it might fall down,” he added with a chuckle.
