This is quite amusing to me since the reason Nickelback claimed to be happy as a clam (not to mention raking in the clams) at Roadrunner Records for so long was the creative freedom it enjoyed there. After all, Roadrunner became a titan in modern rock labeldom largely because of the Brothers Kroeger and co. Now, after the band makes two more albums on Roadrunner (which I'm sure Live Nation will get a stake in now), its marquee attraction is gonna go clam-digging somewhere else. Meep-meep! Fearless prediction: by next year, Live Nation will announce that it's cloned Michael Jackson circa 1982, and that a "Thriller v2.0 World Tour" will last into perpetuity ... with $50 tour T-shirts for sale, even. You read it here first. Photo: Nickelback front man and master clammer Chad Kroeger. (Jonathan Hayward, AP) |

Who cares anymore. I used to love this band before they went all ballad song on me and sold out for that dollar. I still dig the first 3 albums....after that it was Elton John with long hair singing all those lovey dovey yucky ballads...and I am a girl for crying out loud. However; I am a girl who likes to rock not sway my hands in the air. Booo!!!!! Get it together boys.
