Eminem Mocks Bret Michaels, Hilarity Ensues
Friday, April 17, 2009 at 12:01AM
Glamtastic, Batman! Eminem takes a swipe at all sorts of pop icons, including our beloved Bret Michaels. Sure, the song is crap (it is rap, after all) but the video is so great, it's worth enduring the tune for three minutes. My favorite part is when "Bret," his wig and Sarah Palin are in bed and...oh wait. You better just watch for yourself. I'd hate to ruin the plot.

Sorry - this is no music to me. How is it possible to make so much money with this crap?
Rock of Love is embarrassing too, but at least Bret Michaels does real music. Nothing can beat that.
This song isnt very good though, but the video's pretty funny, and you're all right, Bret has made a fool of himself, and he deserves it.
And to think, HE threw ME (CC) out of the band...but I'm not from Pennsylvania anyway, so was I even part of the band to begin with, or someone to fuck with because of his misperceptions and his thirst for power and control.
There is a reason I skated under the radar for so long...I didn't even need to be on it. I know what glam looks like, I just don't know what it sounds like.
And don't worry about us, we are enjoying the fruits of our labor..Rick has his drum works, Bob has his family in sunshine Florida, and I have my beautiful son, Valen.
Therefore, we tempted fate and did EXACTLY what "those who know better" did, to see the outcome when we did it. I would have LOVED for someone to have taken me to task and called me and asked what I was doing, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE REASONS WHY... I mean, even the "Hmm", is a cheap shot at those in the know. Keep going back to him for answers. I am SURE he A Lot to say. ME FUCKING TOO!
Stay the outcast. That's where we belong. It's YOUR band that's the joke. HA HA
And to all the people that are putting down rap, that's fine if it's not your cup of tea. But remember that there's been many a discussion here about not being so elitest or pigeonholing people based on bands or types of music they like. So ease up, metalheads.
And - Bobby, Rikki, and CC - WTF?? Dude, whoever you are, lay off the cough syrup, 'k?
Oh and I'm a rap fan, and a major Eminem fan, but this song is horrible. I'll admit the chorus did get in my head after a bit, whoever it is singing it, it just doesn't fit an Eminem song though. I still stand by the opinion that the Eminem Show is one of the greatest albums of the 2000's (yes I said it) and that he won't make a major comeback until he returns to that grab-you-by-the-balls style writing he was doing back in 2001.
And I like Rock Of Love...
