Nickelback Responds To Black Keys' Drummer Diss

We're all used to hearing about "beef" on the regular between hip-hop artists, but now when we find out about two alternative rock groups throwing shots at each other there's no telling what to think of it. In their cover story with Rolling Stone, The Black Keys' drummer Patrick Carney unexpectedly stated that  "Rock & roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world."

P-Willi will agree with me when I say that although the radio hits that Nickelback creates can kinda make them seem like sell-outs, the rest of their albums for the most part really rock hard (except for maybe their most recent one). However, you can tell that Nickelback is new at this whole "beef" thing, because I believe rule number three is never say "Hehe" at the end of a statement when trying to rebuttal a diss. They may want to take some lessons from Robin Thicke.

Round One winner: The Black Keys.

Nickelback - Here and Now

For more than a decade Nickelback has been rockin' it with their heavy riffs and Kroegers amazing vocals. However, I regret to inform you that Nickelback fans may be a little disappointed with their new album Here and Now. As Nickelback has squeezed its way into the mainstream it seems (and I hate to say this) that they have been just phoning it in as of late. Their last album Dark Horse showed some symptoms of pop-rock fever but this years Here and Now has got it full blown. The musical arrangement has is weak compared to previous albums and the lyrics are even weaker. Here's one of the more solid songs on the album, "Midnight Queen" but, I'll let you decide for yourself.

Nickelback - Bottoms Up

Nickelback currently has two new singles out, "Bottoms Up", which you can listen to right here, and "When We Stand Together". These songs will be featured on their upcoming album Here and Now, landing November 21st. Now, Nickelback fans will understand why I chose to post this song rather than its calmer counterpart. Every Nickelback album always has at least one or two "radio-friendly" songs on it, while the other 80% of the album will be pure hard rock. From a business standpoint, it's pure genius. Honestly, how can any music fan dislike their catchy, emotion filled tunes that flood the airwaves whenever a new Nickelback album is out. However, with this great success the band achieves, radio lovers do not get the chance to hear what kind of band Nickelback truly is: a hard rocking, a$$ kicking, bass pounding, rock and roll machine! So, if you have always liked what you hear on the radio from these guys, here is your chance to hear what kind of band they really are. Beware, this song may cause an urge to turn the volume up to 10 and thrash around your house, dont blame me for breaking your mom's favorite vase. Enjoy!
