| Message Board > Music Chitchat - Heavy > WOO! Nickleback is coming to Victoria!!! |
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Bah! We couldn't get Foo Fighters, hell no, we get Nickleback for 2 nights. I think they were practicing yesterday in the arena cause all I could hear was someone practicing drums yesterday morning when I was walking past the arena. On the plus side, The Trews are playing Friday night, but I doubt it's worth what they're charging to see just The Trews. Note to House of Blues, GET BETTER BANDS IN VICTORIA!!! Cause apparently you can't. - Fri, 19 Aug 2005 11:29am | ||

| _Griphin_ User Info... | I dunno. I wish I had some more info on what happened down there (I have the video). I still think the band was better before they made it famous (Curb is a good album), as much as I hate the band, they must be doing something right. Heh.. go Monday magazine!!! - Fri, 19 Aug 2005 1:52pm | ||

| The One After Two User Info... | We all have our thoughts on Nickelback but what Monday wrote in their listings section is just dumb. Keep the editorials on the editorial page. Hey Jason, great read on Crime in Stereo! And I liked the the article on the restaurants. - Fri, 19 Aug 2005 4:31pm | ||

| XY-WALK User Info... | Just too funny, or strange ? Nickelbag has got a hold of recordings of Dimebags riffs that he had recorded but not released . DD (rip) seems to have been buds with the band (or Chad)and his wife turned the recordings over and they've sampled it into a song on the new release . I think I'd like to hear this ,if anyone has a copy lemeno . Now I return you back to your scheduled slag post. - Fri, 19 Aug 2005 5:43pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | I read that there was a bunch of Pantera/Damageplan songs that were never released that will be released eventually. But I wonder if Nickleback's up and coming CD will have a number of songs where they copy those riffs?!? - Fri, 19 Aug 2005 6:14pm | ||

| Yo Mama User Info... | Unreleased Dimebag Solo Included On Nickelback's Tribute Song 'Side of a Bullet' includes Dimebag outtakes assembled into a solo. by Jon Wiederhorn A previously unreleased solo by late Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell will appear this fall in an unlikely place: on Nickelback's new album, All the Right Reasons. The guitar parts for the flailing, 24-second lead were donated E-Mail this story to a friend by Darrell's brother, drummer Vinnie Paul, and assembled from outtakes from the Pantera albums Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven. The song, a tribute to Darrell titled "Side of a Bullet," was written three months after the guitarist was killed while performing onstage with Damageplan in Columbus, Ohio (see "Dimebag Darrell, Four Others Killed In Ohio Concert Shooting"). Kroeger first penned the song's aggressive, metallic riff, then wrote call-and-response lyrics from the perspective of a Pantera fan so enraged over Dimebag's murder that he vows revenge, not realizing the shooter had already been killed by a policeman. Kroeger roars in the song's chorus: "How could you take his life away (What made you think you had the right?)/ How could you be so full of hate (To take away somebody's life?)/ When I heard you let him die and leave the world, I wondered why/ I sat and home and on my own, I cried alone and scratched your name in the side of a bullet." "I was very upset, and for two months, if I saw his picture somewhere I would get angry," Kroeger said of his motivation for writing the song. "I hadn't lost somebody to a shooting before — it wasn't as though he'd been killed in some sort of accident. He was taken in such a horrible, malicious way that just made it more painful." Once Kroeger finished demoing "Side of a Bullet," he called up Paul and played it to him to get his take on the tune. Paul liked what he heard and urged Kroeger to write lyrics about Dime. "I said, 'Well, funny enough, that song is about your brother,' " Kroeger recalled. Paul volunteered to play on the song, so Kroeger overnighted him the tape and encouraged him to record a new drum track over the one played by Nickelback drummer Daniel Adair. "He thought about it for a while," Kroeger said, "then he decided that Daniel had done such an amazing job that we should leave it the way it was. That's when he sent the guitar parts from Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven, which we used for the solo." Kroeger was introduced to Dimebag and Paul in 2002 in Dallas by former Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell, who was touring as Nickelback's opening act. A few drinks later, the ex-Pantera members admitted to Kroeger that they were big fans. "Vinnie told me he listened to Nickelback every day, which really surprised me," Kroeger said. "But I guess they come from that whole Southern-rock background, and we're a hard-rock band with Southern-rock influences, so they liked it a lot." In 2003, the next time Nickelback played Dallas, Kroeger hooked up with Dime and, during a long night of partying, played him his demo of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," which Nickelback were covering with Kid Rock for the soundtrack to "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." "I wrote all these heavy, tuned-down guitar riffs and I asked him if he wanted to play the guitar solo on it, and he was pumped to do it," Kroeger said. Dime ultimately joined him and Kid on the track. "That was the first time I appeared on a record with Dime, and now this. I just wish this wasn't the way it had to happen." - Fri, 19 Aug 2005 11:42pm | ||

| lonemonk User Info... | God knows we tried to get some juicy backstage recordings of the Friday night show, but it turns out only 'The Kroeg' has the authority to invite folk backstage. Opening acts are forbidden from doing so. (I heard some bullshit about it being due to the massive amount of pyro equipment back there... Whatever) - Tue, 23 Aug 2005 3:42pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | What? Are you serious?!? That doesn't sound right. Perhaps Chad is too insecure?!? - Tue, 23 Aug 2005 4:03pm | ||
| Yo Mama User Info... | Chad wasn't the only one handing out backstage passes. My friend went back and he didn't get the pass from The Kroeg. For what it's worth. - Tue, 23 Aug 2005 4:49pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | I'm speaking somewhat facetiously. All I know is the long-lost brother of one of the Trews was not aloud to hang out with him. - Thu, 25 Aug 2005 2:13pm | ||
