whaaaaaat man you should check out his solo albums

We should poll people named Chad in bands. Live had two of them!

That's a pretty funny story, but there's never been an outside songwriter on a Nickelback album - hell, Kroeger writes and produces for other people at this point (most notably Daughtry, and now Avril Lavigne, who rumors around the office suggest he's also sleeping with).

does the canadian press call them "ChAvril"?

yeah i was gonna say, story doesn't pass the smell test for this among several reasons. still funny to picture, though.

Mutt doesn't get a credit?

I don't care if that's fake, that story is hilarious

"Dark Horse:"

All lyrics written by Chad Kroeger, all music composed by Nickelback with Robert John "Mutt" Lange on tracks 1, 4, 7, 8 and 11.

The last one had track written with the producer, too, Joey Moi. No?

that is the greatest story ever told, replacing the former greatest story, the Bible

I'm sure I've reported here before on the one time I saw Nickelback, and they interrupted their show for 15 minutes wasted firing shirts out at the crowd with t-shirt canons. It was as NASCAR as Canadians get.

They should have at least thrown in a drum solo during that time.

you misspelled "first"

Obv I have no idea if it's true, all I heard was a snippet of talk radio

Still....if we can't believe in this what can we believe in

just look at this post of m@tt's, every time i do it makes me laugh

well it says "might" have sold some songs to nickelback, maybe chad just likes to fuck with hacks

xpost to Dan, I totally would have seen the band again were they not so utterly dull and gormless. Totally unaware - or aware but not caring - of all the cliches they embody, so that it transcended self-parody.

"Chicago, you may be the best crowd we've ever heard! Let me hear you again! Yeah, that was awesome. Tonight, we want to party with you!" Then he told his roadie to order a few hundred pizzas and beer so that they can party with 10,000 of their new best friends. Or something like that. It was total school of Paul Stanley.

Did they actually go through with the pizza

every stadium band these days rips off U2

More bands should do the t-shirt cannon thing.

it would certainly be a nice gesture at those big shows where the merch stand charges $40 and up for every shirt

It would have been hilarious had every fan that caught a shirt then been handed a bill for said shirt.

Saw Merle Haggard the other night, and his t-shirts were $35!

Would watch.

Should be a spin-off "Guy from Creed."

D'YA WANNA HEAR SOME RRROCK'N'ROLL OR DO YA WANNA GO HOME!?

have we got any Nickelback fans in Portugal?

See ya!

"How You Remind Me" is a great song. its got at least 4 hooks. classic

The question shouldn't really be "can it be done?", more "can it be done... in Portugal?"

are hooks a universally positive attribute tho

Depends on whether or not you're a fish at the end of one, I guess.

i'm actually quite curious about whether the Portuguese have come around to Nickelback's musical charms and nowadays buy shit-tons of their records.

Yeah, it would be incredibly funny if it got to the stage where they became the biggest band ever in Portugal while they got shit thrown at them whenever they played anywhere in the rest of the world.

Doesn't play for me

I feel like they have turned into a muscular version of Live

getting a real 'war pigs' vibe from those lyrics

are we entering the era of #wokenickelback?

NEVAH MADE IT AS A WISE MAHNG
COULDN'T CUT AS A POOR MAN STEALIN

They've done this before.

ashamed of my ignorance of #wokenickelback cuts tbh

every time I see it, it makes me laugh

harder riffage than i'm used to from nickelback in this new one. it's pretty enjoyable until the chorus!

I interviewed them once and they were very nice.

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

for the record this song sounds better than any Nickelback song I've ever heard

'this genocide took fewer lives than that genocide'

(although i agree the riff is actually... not bad?)

if I didn't know it was Nickelback I would probably say, "this song is ok"

Nickelback quite frequently bring the riffs on their album cuts. It's their singles that tend to suck the hardest.

I think it's funny that Trump has driven people into such pits of despair that they're now telling themselves "Hey, that Nickelback song...I kinda dug that."

This is my Nickelback song of choice, for the record.
