Sunglasses, ammo belts, fur hats, etc do not look cool when a stylist puts them on a veteran badboy in an attempt to look tough when he'd really rather be practicing his putting or detailing his Mustang or whatever.

It's surprising how un bendy they are of gender these bands. What a crap era it's been for rock fashions this last 30 years.

Part of me has kinda wanted to see Nickelback for a while (supposedly they're a good, entertaining live act) but if there's ever a band that should not do a "plays their classic album in full" tour...

Pretty sure they picked two guys from each band, took the photo on the right, gave haircuts to the longhairs, and then photographed the same four dudes for the one on the left

It could be argued that when you crop the group photo so you're only seeing the models from the shoulder up, you're not gonna get the maximum value from your western wear interstate billboard.

in that photo i have no idea which band is STP and which is NickelbackMe neither. Going from the photos if I had to guess I would go Nickelback on the right. But the fact those photos look slightly smaller makes me think that's more likely STP
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 22:47 (four years ago) link
I like how Nickelback’s portrait also looks ready for a Wall Street Journal story. And how you know the band or their manager made the designer resize STP’s portrait 20% smaller.

I clicked on the STP tweet, the replies are pretty funny — it’s a steady stream of fans complaining about the Nickelback pairing (“please kick your manager in the balls”), and a sprinkling of “Come to Brazil!” tweets.

At last, the state fair-ening of the '90s alternaboom has begun in earnest. In a parallel universe, a bloated Nirvana is somewhere in rural Kansas waiting backstage for Matchbox 20 to finish their opening set.

I heard a commercial AM station segue from Pink Floyd's "On the Run" into Pearl Jam's "Evenflow" the other day.
I don't know why I'm posting that to this thread, but it somehow made sense to do so.

the other guy was a hired bassist from 1980-96, who was rehired as lead singer when a similarly longtime hired guitarist got the URL transferred to his ownership from the founding guitarist in the year 2000; he then sued the original members for using "the voices of the Little River Band" on their posters in Australia.
