Nickelback Teases Concert Announcement

There is a countdown clock on Nickelback.com right now that ends Tuesday morning. The band is teasing a tour in celebration of the 15th anniversary of the album All The Right Reasons. That is my favorite album by the band. While most people love to mock Nickelback because that is trendy, All The Right Reasons has some really great songs. Nickelback is a very fun live show, too. I would be interested in going to a show if they make a stop close by and the ticket prices are not bananas. Below is a teaser video for the tour announcement.

Don't know songs from All The Right Reasons? Here's one of my favorite tracks: "Side Of A Bullet"

I mock Nickleback cuz they suck tremendously. Not everyone is in on this so called conspiracy, some ppl actually know that this band totally blows. And yes, some women will like them cuz they think they’re cute. Lol

[Metalboy!]

You nailed it, BK!

However, they do have ONE good song, “Animals”!

Some people love Nickelback. Others don't. I fall into the latter category, though I can appreciate their ability to craft songs that have 'reach' (probably not the right word). They seem to mine a vein that is comparable to a modern-day Def Lep, in their focus on being catchy and anthemic. Like i said, I can see why people enjoy them.

Kroeger seems to have the right attitude about all the hate, and also seems to be a well-meaning and balanced sort of fellow. He is also rich, which is more than I can say for myself!

Pump-up song, Crued? Careful. But that is an easy one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L6KGuTr9TI. Nothing makes my strategic approach to Bingo feel more alive or rewarding. NOTHING!!!

My question is who mocks Nickelback and why ? Successful RnR band, that stays pretty true to their roots and sound. I only digress because there comes a point with a lot of successful bands is they play way too many ballads. There rock songs and I mean ROCK songs actually Rock ! Hate all you want, good songs and great to see live.

I feel like its always the Bro Country, Mumford & Sons, or those that think Nickelback is too polished of band crowds that dog them.

[Bkallday]

I’ve gotta listen to heavy metal to get pumped up. Hard rock/glam is just more of a party music, for me. I listen to a lot of thrash metal or even death metal, when I’m in the gym, though. Testament, Slayer, Mantar, Death, Sepultura, Anthrax, Malevolent Creation, Morbid Angel, & Kreator are some of my go-tos! 🤘🏼

[crued]

@Him your post was well thought out. I actually lol'ed when I saw the send in the clown's vid pop up :)
Do you want me to buy you a walker with bandanas tied around the legs kinda like steven tyler's mic stand?

[Metalboy!]

Aren’t you forgetting OVERKILL, BK?

[Him]

Crued, I would gladly accept that gift! You had me laughing as well.

Between meals consisting of vanilla pudding and fruit cocktail, I need to get my motor running before the next race around the facility (one smoking hot chick looks exactly like Beatrice Arthur!).

So its got to be Anne Murray, Christopher Cross, Air Supply, or good ole Judy to get my heart to hardline rather than flatline.

Switching gears . . .

Metalboy!, I think Overkill fits the bill wonderfully. I'd go with their one almost breakthrough song, "In Union We Stand."

------------

Switching lanes . . .

I think the issue is much more basic, GNR. They are successful and they rock . . . and they encroach on the turf of the sacred (according to some). In my younger days, I was a whole lot more dismissive of bands that didn't 'fit' what I thought X or Y should be. Only as I grew older, did I come to appreciate what they brought to the table (even if I still didn't enjoy them . . . which is on me, not them or their fans). Rock, metal, glam, whatever . . . they exist on a spectrum. Loyalists hate bands that encroach on their turf. That's the thing, that is all that it is, their turf.

I don't like Hagar's music. But I would love to meet him. And still struggle to carve out a spot in my playlist for Poison. So what? I'd like to think I am open-minded enough to say "that isn't for me" and move on. Or, in the case of Devin Townsend (another acquired taste), step back and think about it and then say: "Woah, I misjudged Kroeger. He's cool." There is space for all of it. And, even then, we can still pick our spots and defend our choices. Regardless, we all love music and it sustains us: pumping iron, chasing old women around the nursing home, or even making dinner for our families. We pick the soundtrack because it is the soundtrack that we pick. That is circular. But it also makes a lot of sense.

Back to bingo. My trigger finger is acting up!

[Metalboy!]

HIM! Don’t forget to add Hellen Reddy, Neil Sedaka, Captain & Tenille, Debbie Boone, John Denver and whatever other horsesh*t that was foisted on us because of payola or whatever the h*ll it was that got it to chart.

And, switching gears (speaking of which, show me another thread in the entire nation, if not the world, where Overkill and Air Supply are uttered in the same breath!), check out Overkill’s cover of The Dead Boys’ “Sonic Reducer”. Also, watch the Stiv Bators documentary, “Stiv: No Compromise, No Regrets”, about the iconic singer’s crazy life!

[Bkallday]

Air Supply & Neil Sedaka!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced a Sedaka mosh pit, brutality at it’s finest!!!
