Nickelback Says Put Down Guitar Hero, Pick Up a Guitar

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 23:02:40 +0000

Nickelback frontman, Chad Kroeger, is urging people to put down video games like Guitar Hero in favor of doing the real thing in real life. He recently said: "start rock bands. Set down the ‘Guitar Hero’ learn how to play an actual guitar and start a band, because it’s hard to find more bands to put a solid rock-and-roll package together."

I know what he means. I love GH, don’t get me wrong, but the musical journey and understanding cannot start and stop there. I’m hoping these games pique the interests of young people and inspire them to want to get up and learn how to wail for real on an actual guitar. It worked for Nickelback…

Nickelback Releases "Dark Horse" Album

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 23:17:51 +0000

Alberta rockers, Nickelback, have released a new album called "Dark Horse."

The first single is "Gotta Be Somebody" which is good but I think there are better tracks on the album.

The songs, well, sound like what you would expect from Nickelback but I think they are really good. I really like "Burn It to the Ground" and "Just to Get High" a lot (the latter had a really good message about drug use).

Here is the tracklisting:

Something In Your Mouth
Burn It To The Ground
Gotta Be Somebody
I’d Come For You
Next Go Round
Just To Get High
Never Gonna Be Alone
Shakin’ Hands
S.E.X.
If Today Was Your Last Day
This Afternoon

Nickelback "Gotta Be Somebody" #1 on Sirius Iceberg Channel

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:38:30 +0000

I have to admit, that I didn’t see this coming! This new Nickelback some “Gotta Be Somebody” really surprised me. It’s got a real upbeat, 80s sound to it. I can’t put my finger on what it sounds like exactly (my mind keeps going to Richard Marx but it’s more than that).

Anyway, people must be liking it because it’s currently #1 on Sirius satellite radio channel “Iceberg 85″ which is devoted to Canadian music. I couldn’t find a video for it but you can listen to the track here.

Flashback Friday – "Hero" by Nickelback

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:27:18 +0000

For today’s Flashback Friday, I’ve chosen the 2002 single “Hero” by Alberta-grown group, Nickelback featuring Josey Scott (lead vocalist of Saliva) from the Spider-Man soundtrack. I really think this might have been the best theme song for the film franchise to-date and I love the part towards the end where the music breaks down and it’s basically them and their guitars.
