Yeah, plan on being able to leave around 8 or 9- that should be when the opening bands should be about over.

Agreed
i'm not a fan either, but they do seem to consistently be in the top ten so somebody has to like them.

mosh pit baby!

a mosh pit at a nickelback concert is not a mosh pit....

I went to a system of a down concert once. I was in a mosh pit this guy was thrown out of it with his elbow bleeding all over. He took his finger, got some blood on it, wiped it under his eyes like a football player would and jumped back in. I decided that maybe I should move on to the next one...

they don't have mosh pits at nb concerts?

No no, your mistaken. That's just the crowd trying to get out.

edit: Format error =/

HAHAHA right on... so true

My friend plays them in his car all the time and I swear I'm gonna puke if I hear anymore Nickelback. I do however, like one song by them. "Woke Up This Morning" is pretty good.

The only thing I like from them is the Hero song from the first Spiderman.
But it wasn't really Nickelback, it was a bunch of guys from different bands, just the lead singer (I think) was Nickelback.

BTW, Breaking Benjamin is good stuff. :thumbsup:

no..i am sure they do..i mean every concert with a rock band..or something claiming to be a rock band is gonna have a mosh pit. Its just that the level of awesome and brutalness varies. I am guessing its a pretty lame mosh pit at the nb concert.

System was my most brutal
Then it was Disturbed
Old green day had a pretty good one
and flogging molly is fun with all the irish drunk people.
Never been in one, but I've heard that Disturbed mosh pits are pure insanity.

I went to the Avenged 7 Fold, the starter played for 2.5 hours. At System of a down , Bad acid trip played 4 tracks + bs so roughly an hour.

We went the Stoned Sour concert where Evanescence followed them, and they played for 2.5 hours. What was funny about that one is that probably 40% of the people left after stone sour finished their set...

I'd wear a poncho or something.

If you listen to their songs, it sounds like the lead singer has to take a really big crap

2 cover bands, probably 30 or 45 minute sets each. Just go early and watch them, you might like them. If you like Nickelback your standards are low anyway ;).

Does anyone have a link to "Taking Care of Someday" it was a mix that someone did. It laid their first two singles on top of each other and they both sounded the same. Which is why if you like one of their songs chances are you like many of their songs since they are all the same song.

The same can be said for Creed.

While i will bash Creed, I have seen them live and they put on a hell of a show. And ive seen MANY MANY bands.

ATOT, please name some decently-current popular bands that you think are good.

Or do most of you think you're special because you like the "underground" ones ? I think the internets popularized the term "sold out". /golfclap

it will be at least an hour, depending on how big the opening acts. could be upwards of 1 1/2 hours before they come on.

Listening to Nickleback is like eating rice cakes. It's so bland, boring, and empty. You know it's not going to get any better either.
