Nickelback

[Mike Patton]

Bon Jovi were one of those bands played a lot in our house when we were growing up and I took my sister. Despite shite sound, Nickleback support and Jon Bon Jovi being full of hayfever and could hardly see let alone sing I still loved it. Not sure I'd pay to see them again but it was still great to see that bit of my childhood!

There is however no excuse for Nickleback anywhere...

[pinback]

After a recent conversation with an acquaintance, I thought I would throw it out there...

Would you like to see Nickelback play at Reading, and if so...where on the bill?

"Hey, hey, I wanna be a rock star!" etc etc

[yayrickwaller]

it is so predictable that evryone has a go at the american rock band if i didnt know the festival better i'd think it was a plie of s**** at least thats wot u lot make it out to be. The fact is on a smaller stage i cud bear them.

They headlined in 2006, I don't think the organisers would have them back so soon.

[ste4_20]

No they didn't

[VCK]

I honestly wouldn't mind if Nickelback were booked.

[pinback]

I'm guessing that was a Pearl Jam reference.

They are terrible.

Ah, and I see Pinback is still on his one-man crusade against Pearl Jam...the record is still spinning just fine then.

Excellent!

[sammysundae]

to be fair, pearl jam really are a great band. i think what people got fed up with is that they're not the only band.

out of interest, are there any artists that you've liked who've come out over the last year to two? sorry, realised that sounds sarky, its not meant to

Has Cliff Richard come out yet..?

[shoptildrop]

Bon Jovi aren't very good either though, to be fair...and I would say Nickelback are an appropriate support.

[Ølivavu]

Bon Jovi have got a massive following indeed. A lot of old women though!

They're not really a rock band though, more a pop-rock band. Too cheesy and lacking in sentiment for my liking.

They seem to go down very well with a lot of people though.

Believe me, it's not one man... it's an army.

[pinback]

[Azzy G]

I'm saying there's an army of people who don't like Pearl Jam.

[pinback]

Im sure theres a bigger army of people who dont like nickelback....

[Ølivavu]

ar-mee

1. the military forces of a nation, exclusive of the navy and in some countries the air force.

2. (in large military land forces) a unit consisting typically of two or more corps and a headquarters.

3. a large body of persons trained and armed for war.

4. any body of persons organized for any purpose: an army of census takers.

5. a very large number or group of something; a great multitude; a host: the army of the unemployed.

Hmm...you must really hate them...

Apologies if it was unclear:
