Nickelback – Edge Of A Revolution single artwork Source The Canadian rock band released their newest single, Edge Of A Revolution, which is also one of the songs from their upcoming album. Even though they didn’t announce the official name of the album and an official release date, it seems that the album will surface this fall. You might want to know that this upcoming album will be the band’s first album…
So after the announcement of Avril and Chad Kroeger getting engaged, the internet decided to comment on the situation. It’s some pretty funny stuff. Uproxx collected some of the best reactions – tweets, photoshops, whatever – together and I’ve included a few of my favorites. My favorite non-pic reaction comes from am incredibly clever tweet from Ben Paddon: That said, my favorite reaction – text or otherwise – is a photoshop that’s just so perfect, it’s like it came…
Yes, you read that right. Two music megastar Canadians have gotten engaged. He apparently makes her “so happy.” Uh, ok. I guess not everyone hates Nickelback after all. That being said…. in other news: Nickelback still easily the most hated band in music.
So, for all the shit that I’ve given Nickelback over the years, apparently it has been warranted – at least a little bit. A blog calling itself Tastebuds.fm has named the Canadian rockers the “number one musical turnoff.” Tastebuds, a similar site to Last.fm, did their research thusly: Each user was allowed to specify up to 12 acts that turned them off. Nickelback – regularly lambasted by the music press – came out on top…
I’ve given Nickelback a lot of shit for its continued existence since I started writing for ZME last year. That said, I’m not sure that I can top a Facebook group called “Can this pickle get more fans than Nickleback?” Yes, the band’s name is mispelled, as the author of the group admits: I am fully aware that I misspelled Nickelback as “Nickleback” in the name of the page. This is because Facebook doesn’t allow…
Much like the metal category, hard rock is something that the NARAS doesn’t understand to any degree. Yes, it can sometimes -* sometimes* – pick the ‘right’ bands but its choices for songs is bizarre. AC/DC, “WAR MACHINE” Alice in Chains, “Check My Brain” Linkin Park, “What I’ve Done” Metallica, “The Unforgiven III” Nickelback, “Burn it to the Ground” OK, first off: Nickelback?! Not only is that a terrible choice for a band nominee, it’s…
Even as I include the following qualification to this piece, it’ll still probably be misinterpreted. Nickelback is a terrible band, OK. I get it. They’re the band everyone points to when discussing all that’s wrong with modern music, specifically rock. Yes, Chad sounds like the bastard child of a rather violent hate-fuck orgy including Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland and Scott Stapp. Yes, none of the band members are particularly talented musicians, save former drummer Ryan…
