Nickelback has announced tour dates for an upcoming tour in support of their latest release, Dark Horse. Darks Horse has sold over 1.5 millions copies in the United States since it’s November 18th release, even though it got a lot of negative reviews and some have called it the worse album of 2008. Honestly, I haven’t heard it yet and I probably won’t bother for the simple fact that I’m tired of Nickelback and the whole craze around them. They are like the Pearl Jam of the new millennium in the sense that everyone is trying to sound like …read more

Nickelback’s song structure is almost all the same. Whether it be for on of their faster songs of one of their slower song. I was in the car the other day and a song was playing on the radio. When it was over the d.j. says that it was Theory Of A Dead Man or someone, honestly I can’t remember. I said to my wife, “I thought that was Nickelback” and she did too. Bands and labels see the popularity in Nickelback and if you sound remotely like them, chances are you might get signed. They’re the Pearl Jam …read more

“I’ll get washed up singers writing all my songs,
lip sync em every night so I don’t get em wrong
Than listen to the fans tell me how damn good I am.”
