Nickelback Rocks Metallica Classic

You knew Metallica was going to be featured on this week’s best covers list, right? How about Nickelback doing Metallica in a very proper, very heavy way?!?

Years ago, Nickelback played the Rock Am Ring festival and covered “Sad But True.” The song works on so many levels, especially since Nickelback were directly catering to their festival audience that day. Rock Am Ring books lots of true metal acts, so Nickelback needed to deliver. If you don’t nod your head along with this cover, you’re dead inside.

This Looks Fun And You Know It

So the "Summer of ‘99 and Beyond" Festival is a thing and it happens this summer at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI. Nickelback and Creed will headline. There's a slew of other bands too like Our Lady Peace (!), Sevendust and Fuel.

Show is July 18 and 19 (gonna be hot!) and tickets go on sale Friday at Live Nation outlets.

'Tidal Wave' - Nickelback, New Video

From the album Get Rollin,' - Nickelback has a new video for their song "Tidal Wave." This is apparently the last video for the Get Rollin' project. Still one of the best live shows I've ever attended - if you can see Nickelback live, you should do it.

'Horizon' - New Nickelback Video

At 10 am ET, Nickelback premiered a video for their latest single "Horizon." The track is on the album Get Rollin.'

Honestly I was surprised to see another video for this latest album since it has been out for over a year, but I don't think the same rules apply in the music industry anymore. When you have as much money and fame as Nickelback, you can do whatever you want basically.

"Horizon" is a classic-type Nickelback song with a slower tempo and catchy hooks. It's good.

Nickelback Announces Live Album

Last year, Nickelback performed a show in Nashville and recorded it as part of the Get Rollin' tour. Now the band has announced Nickelback: Live From Nashville, due November 15.

The live version of “San Quentin” from the recording is below. The album is available for pre-order now.

Nickelback Release 'High Time' Video

I’m just sucking wind at this point and trying to get to my vacation – now less than two weeks away!

It’s Friday and that means time for new music! Today’s new music and video comes from Nickelback. The band released the album Get Rollin over the summer. Now the newest single is “High Time” is available with a fun video to match.

Nickelback Announces Summer 2023 Tour

Nickelback will tour behind their new album Get Rollin' this summer at sheds across North America. As you would expect, there are lots of Canadian dates and several festival gigs, too.

A country singer (?!?) named Brantley Gilbert will provide support. I have no idea what he sounds like since I don't follow country music at all. Looking at replies to his tweet announcing the tour below, it seems like his fans are stoked. I would like to see Nickelback live again - but last time I saw them inside an arena and it was nuts. I'm not sure an outdoor venue will provide the same experience, so we'll see.

How do you make the most unexpected and bad@$$ tour of all time… @Nickelback and your boy join forces for the summer… That’s how!! I’m so stoked to announce we’ll be seeing y’all on the #getrollintour criss-crossing the country all summer long https://t.co/PC3Sns8qhz pic.twitter.com/RCXDB4J8f4
