NPR - Music Fan Pokes Fun at Nickelback Song Similarity

[Splat88]

Probably most of you have heard of this, but its a funny story nevertheless. Towards the end, the Avril Lavinge/Nickelback part is priceless.

Nickelback.........rrrrrrrrright.

Yeah I remember hearing the mash-up when it was new. Nice of them to play Porcupine Tree at the end.

Personally, I don't care about this kind of idea recycling. I honestly enjoy the Nickelback stuff anyway, it's as varied as the blues is. It's the little things that make the difference. So what if it's the same progression and tempo?

Nickelback is probably among the cooler bands that sells millions of CDs. I don't like them nearly as much as say, Soilwork or Arch Enemy, but they're still cool.

Bah! You wanna hear a great Canadian band? Go buy Voivod's "Nothingface"

OT a little but... A friend was telling me he was in the studio with the drummer from Default who are really good friends with Chad Kroeger. Chad even produced their debut.

Anyways, apaprently Chad and Tommy Lee had a cockoff once to see who was bigger. Chad won. *insert "the more you know" PSA here*

Limp, erect, both?

And were they alone?

I don't know what's more unsettling, the fact that they had a cockoff, or that you want more details about said cockoff.

Didn't AC/DC make a living off this sort of shit....among many other popular bands/ artists??
