T.O. - NICKELBACK

Glad to see that Andrew is showing Nickelback some love here.

Since like most of you, I'm older than dirt and they are a newer band that is VERY VERY good. Their current CD plus their first album (Never Again, How You Remind Me) are legendary rock albums.

Nickelback, Sevendust('The Past' GREAT new single) & Dream Theatre are three bands that I have REALLY grown to like over the past few years.

Didn't their last album sell, like, 7 million or some amazing amount? I am not much of a fan of their music, but Nickelback has some of the best videos out there for their songs.

There are so many soundalike groups/lead singers to that Nickelback style it makes my hair hurt. Daughtry is prominent among them, but there seem to be hundreds of others and now latest Idol winner, David Cook, is set to do an album that sounds exactly the same.

Congratulations! You're still the same.

'Photograph' & 'How You Remind Me' are in my opinion two of the best ballads ever. 'Photograph' is an amazing song. 'Rock Star', and 'Never Again' are two of the best hard rock songs ever.

They are a GREAT GREAT group!

One of the few new/newer bands that I enjoy. I've seen them and they deliver live also.

I had the luck of seeing them perform before the broke wide open.. You knew something was going to give honestly.

But their last tour was enough for me. It was pure "going through the motions" and they even Piped in Music! (Billy Gibbons voice and Dimebag's guitar solo in This side of a bullet.

This was even the shows in their home Province of Alberta for freak sakes!

I'll give their new CD a spin because of Mutt, but I've had my share of NB for a while!

My local high school football team was using Nickelback's song "If Everyone Cared" among other songs on it's warmup cd. I really have not listened to much Nickelback till I heard this song played. They are a pretty good band.


You probably have already heard this or seen this, but this is the video for "If Everyone Cared".

If Everyone Cared was my bathroom song at their last concert..

They played that dribble yet they didn't play Too Bad or Leader Of Men at their last show? Ugg..
