A few months back, I received an email from the Orlando Magic informing me that as a season ticket holder I was eligible for a pre-sale for tickets to a Nickelback concert. Not a dime moved from my bank account that day, friends, but needless to say, many people packed into the Amway Center to watch Chad Kroeger and Co., as well as Bush and Seether, belt out song after similar-sounding song. I can’t explain it. People just love Canadian cock rock.
But imagine my delight when I stumbled across the above image, presumably from the Boise Weekly, this morning. I don’t think I could write a better preview for a Nickelback show if I tried. I mean, I probably could, but why bother? Josh Gross already nailed it.

Banner picture caption suggestion, “LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH!”
Chad Kroeger and Co., as well as Bush and Seether
That’s an all-star lineup of crappy bands.
I saw a very expensive looking bright red sports car with the license plate “NKLBACK” yesterday. When did real life turn into this?
And you didn’t get a picture of that? For shame.

Where did you a picture of my car?
The car I saw was in real life. It was a different model, though. Jesus, how many of these exist?
@RockFlag Too many.
I’ve never udnerstood teh level of hatred for Nickelback. On the radio, they are perfectly passable. Then, I am reminded that there is such a thing as a Nickelback concert where tickets cost $45.
I love that this ad just flat out insinuated that MIB3 was better than a Nickelback concert.
And it probably is, and that opinion has not correlation with the fact that I was forced to see that movie this weekend when I went out with the cute brunette from HR at my company on Friday.
Well, I just remember what my kindly old Sunday School teacher always told us: Don’t shit where you eat.
I don’t understand why Josh Gross must lead a miserable life just because he doesn’t like Nickelback… I think avoiding their music might even lengthen your lifespan. I think it’s sad that people are getting so upset about this. If these Nickelback fans didn’t like my favorite band, you can bet your ass I wouldn’t be insulting them on the internet. I’d be burning down their houses.
…. no, not really.
