You know your band sucks when you play Portugal, get pelted with rocks, and quit during the second show. BTW: The commentator speaks Portugese during it, but Chad is speaking English. BTW: This apparently happened a few years ago.

PLAYING COVERS OF YOUR OWN TUNES SHOULD BE OUTLAWED
A few weeks ago I managed to piss off Cyndi Lauper fans, and now I get to rub the noses of Nickelback fans into the shite music of their favourite bad hair band. Some guy at the http://www.thewebshite.co.uk/nickelback.htm has posted a far out audio clip which plays two of Nickelback�s hits at the same time, one in each headphone speaker, so you can see for yourself that the band is writing the same song over and over again. �Nickelback, you lazy, talentless bunch of wankers,� writes the creator of this site, �did you think nobody would notice that you�re recycling your hideous dirge and selling it all over again...you�re taking advantage of those tone deaf MTV brainwashed twats who are too thick to notice you�re releasing songs that are EXACTLY THE SAME as ones you recorded earlier.� - Tue, 13 Jul 2004 8:49am

Seems the folks in EU love pelting these guys with various things. Guess the dumbasses just don't learn. Also speaks to how many mindless sheep there are in N America, since there's no way that would happen here or in the US. - Tue, 13 Jul 2004 9:13am

Kudos to Chad Kroeger on that one. I would have handled it the exact same way. Not that i will ever get the opportunity to do so. That lucky bastard, I dont care how many songs he re-writes, or re-releases, i would love to have his $$$$$$ and Lifestyle. - Tue, 13 Jul 2004 11:19am

If you hated Nickleback enough to throw a rock at them then what on earth are you doing at their show? - Tue, 13 Jul 2004 11:36am

The Portugal thing was at a Festival I believe, and anyone who has been to a festival knows that not all the bands that play are personal favorites. - Tue, 13 Jul 2004 12:54pm

as much as I dislike Nickleback, I felt kind of bad for them watching that . . . but then I remembered all that stories I've heard about how Chad Krueger is a prick and I don't feel soo bad. - Tue, 13 Jul 2004 1:20pm

I remember watching an interview with CK on Much one day, he was so fucking pissed off that people think they suck. Though he then said something along the lines of it's "ok to hate us, but you can't say we suck! WE DON'T SUCK!!"

Haha, jesus christ calm down and stop caring who thinks what about your fucking band. - Tue, 13 Jul 2004 1:43pm

k those songs don't go together perfectly, nickleback probably just has a formula for writing his songs that makes them go harder and softer in the same places. and screw it, if you can get away with re-using the same song to make like 10 million bucks I say go for it, nobody who isn't a rich prick can honestly tell me they'd rather be poor than sell out. besides he wrote different lyrics. - Wed, 14 Jul 2004 10:49pm

I heard a series of Nickleback stories recently at rehearsal which made us all sick with laughter. (It comes c/o a band that was recently forced to tour with them)

Kroeger refers to himself exclusively as "The Kroeg!"

There were others, but I think that sums up everything about that band. - Thu, 15 Jul 2004 9:21am

This proves that despite language and cultural barriers, shitty music is still shitty music. You can't hide the truth. - Thu, 15 Jul 2004 12:44pm
