Kid Rock said that he would have given Tommy Lee a bigger jab at 2007 MTV Video Music Awards event, had he known the publicity it got.

Kid Rock wishes he'd hit Tommy Lee harder at the MTV Video Music Awards. The 36-year-old rocker - who came to blows with the Motley Crue drummer at the Las Vegas awards ceremony on September 9 - regrets not leaving a more lasting impression.

Rock told Rolling Stone magazine: "I don't got big guns, but I know how to throw a punch. If I knew how much press this was going get, I would've come back with a left."

The 'I'm a Cowboy' singer claimed he started the fight after Tommy antagonized him throughout the evening about their fellow ex-wife Pamela Anderson, following years of "disrespect". He added: "I was like, 'That's it!' He knows how much he has disrespected me through the years, and I'd told him he had it coming. I was left with no choice. I was going to be a b***h or be a man. And I'm not a b***h. Never have been."

Meanwhile, the star has joked he is not leaving any of his fortune to his 14-year-old son, Robert James Ritchie Jr., because he plans to spend it all on living a luxurious life. He said: "Oh, my kid's grandchildren are set for life. But I also tell my son, 'You see how your dad is, if you think any of this is going to get left behind, you're nuts, because I'm going out with a bang, buddy.' "
