Defend the Indefensible: Nickelback... (Can it be done)

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.

favourite nickelback story of mine:

ex of my wife worked at a record store, him and a pal from work got free tickets for a big nickelback show and went just for kicks, having no interest in the band in general

one of chad kroegers piece of banter between songs was to proclaim, as a sort of non-sequitur but maybe partly related to some song they were going to play:

"Let me tell you guys, ain't nothing finer than watching the sun come up on zoomers"

I interviewed them once and they were very nice.

― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative)

canadians in "very nice" shocker

There's a totally new a kind of Boomer. One who breaks retirement tradition. Increased life-expectancy has transformed "Yesterday's Yuppie" into today's ZOOMER ... boomers with zip!

These new boomers are coloring outside the lines, zig-zaging and zoooooming toward a bright new horizon chock-full of possibilities for reinventing retirement and redefining what it means to be a mature adult in the new millennium.

One of my few regrets from my time at Roadrunner Records was not accepting a ticket to see Nickelback at Madison Square Garden. I don't like many of their songs, but they're supposed to be great live, in a big/loud/stupid AC/DC sort of way.

this track has zero riffs

A buddy of mine I work with was dragged along by his wife and confirmed this. He said the backdrop alternated between American flags and footage of Aaron Rodgers throwing touchdowns.

the meme of Nickleback being terrible has almost ruined Nickleback hate for me. like it almost delegitimizes how shitty they really are.

and yet when they cover "Sad But True", Chad sounds better than James H does now

forever classic for leaving the stage while getting pelted with stuff tho

thanks for reminding me of that

It can't be done but that was fun

Angels Try to End Losing Streak With Nickelback Songs, Get Shut Out

The Angels are in the middle of a franchise-record losing streak, so they are doing anything they can to change their fortune. First, they fired their manager, Joe Maddon, replacing him with Phil Nevin. But Los Angeles lost its first game after that change.

Next, the team tried a music change. On Wednesday night against Boston, every Angels hitter walked up to a different Nickelback song to try and alter the vibe.

It didn’t work.

well, yeah

I mean if you put laxatives inside everybody's Gatorade, their play would also suffer. not sure why they thought doing the aural equivalent would yield a different result.

yeah when i heard about this i was like, "dang why they gotta mock the players MID-GAME?"

Haven’t the fans suffered enough

9:38 pm

Angel Stadium of Anaheim
S. Ohtani
(3-4, 3.99 ERA)
N. Pivetta
(5-4, 3.50 ERA)
Tickets Starting at $1.00

and just like that, i'm an angels fan. who knew. even on stats alone, you got this one in the bag pivetta. sheesh. i'm an angels fan until they stop torturing the players with nickelback. no one deserves that sort of punishment. demoralizing and, dare i say, dehumanizing.

DON'T "`BACK" THE ANGELS.

has a nice ring to it.

At least their social media manager is still hitting home runs
