- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31Even though I hate Nickelback (mediocre rock FTW!) I would do the exact same thing. Hell, he even stopped and gave them a chance.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27The crowd wanted their nickel back.
- FBMGriever, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Indeed. Their music is definitely rock-toss worthy but I must admit I too would question as to whether or not playing would be worth my time if nobody cared.
- evensong, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Marked as inaccurate. You called Nickelback a "Hardrock band".
j/k =P. But seriously... - Cbeck527, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16BOOM HEADSHOT!
sorry replied to wrong comment :( - Makubex, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15I laugh hysterically every time I see this.
- AmishRefugee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12looks like somebody in the crowd watched this too many times
http://www.*****.net/nickelback.htm - pento, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Ah, Nickleback. They wouldn't know rock if it hit them in the head.
*rimshot* - elCapitanNemo, on 10/12/2007, -7/+15***** Portugal, I don't even like Nickleback but feel for them
- rugger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Maybe I'm just annoyed with how much they play their crap on the radio, but I take offense that nickelback is referred to as 'hard rock'
- nikkesen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Considering that they had rocks thrown at them, the finger seems rather civil.
- MyKungFu, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Wow. This is why I love digg. So I can read something that happened in 2002!
http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2002/08/2109.cfm - lansuggs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I have to say they handled themselves exactly right: any band would do the same. Who goes to a concert and have no appreciation for a band? Didn't know 2002
- bouche, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Oh, they had every right to get off the stage. I'd love footage of the backstage banter right afterwards.
- NewPunk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Why are they throwing rocks if they went to their show? Nickelback suck overall, but hell, if you're paying to go to a show and throw rocks at the performers, you sir are an *****.
- scottylist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4cuz NickelBack were the opener for a pair of siamese portuguese acrobatic monkeys that whistle.
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -1/+4Yeah, I'd probably cry backstage.
- zforrester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3and i quote:
"Wow. This is why I love digg. So I can read something that happened in 2002!" - EricCiccone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Nickelback is not music, they deserved what they got, I'm glad Portugal knows what is and what is not music.
- NitrousFlare, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Dugg for the word "pelted"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow, luckily you haven't heard punk..
- Alcorr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Two things here:
1. Why go to a nickelback concert if you don't like them...why bother buying tickets?
2. Nickelback had every right to walk off the stage, I would have done the same thing and flipped em off too... - TheBrandman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This is about as close as Nickelback gets to anything remotely related with rock.
- dudemaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Luckily for Nickelback people only have two ears - otherwise we could probably add a few more songs to this auto-plagiarism demonstration.
- mr.hostility, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I kiss you!
- sdrawkcaB, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4The last thing thrown looked like a water bottle rather than a rock.
- SystmBetatester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2forgive me if im wrong but didnt this happen a long time ago? anyway never listened to them...ah well seems like im not missing anything, but why go to a concert and boo em off stage.. everyone knows concerts are about weed and sex FTW!
- Maxo1128, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hah, serves them right, they take themselves way too seriously. Their fanbase is based solely on radioplay. Not to mention that there are a million and one other bands that sound JUST like them.
- scooby2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Same category as Creed in my book. Anyone listening to either should be put out of their misery immediately.
- Zinite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Never get tired of seeing this. At the 44 second mark, you see one hit him right in the head.
- flamingmb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4wow thats bad, the drums are exactly the same. So is the tempo. I hate them even more now.
- telexgalt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this happened like 4 years ago, in Portugal. Where the hell has everyone been?!
- trogdor282, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Straylight Run played at my campus for a free show and some high school douchebags threw stuff at them. And they kept playing - emo FTW!!!
- Koskun, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3This was quite comical when it came up... like 4 months ago.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Tempo's have been changed, as well as pitch. Not an accurate comparison. Tons of songs use the exact same song structure and chord progression.
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Yeah, too bad they didn't ***** put him in a coma. Then maybe they wouldn't have come out with their newer CD. :(
- TheHessian, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4This is *****.
Nickelback may blow, but nobody has the right to injure another person, let alone somebody up on stage performing.
We are up there working, doing our jobs, and while I'm a tough s.o.b, anything hard that is thrown with force is going to hurt and possibly injure if it makes contact.
I guess the person who threw that is lucky, because if it was a Hardcore/Metal act, they would have jumped off of the stage and beat him senseless...
I'll probably be Dugg down for this, but I just think that people should be more respectful than that.
What goes around comes around...
The Hessian - carnytrash, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Maybe I should post the All Your Base video and maybe even the dancing baby animation since everything that's old is new again here on Digg.
- xmadman30, on 09/21/2009, -0/+0to bad somebody wouldn't ***** put you in a coma you piece of *****
- xmadman30, on 09/21/2009, -0/+0The people of the world are unbelievable!!. I happen to think Nickelback is a pretty kick ass bank. So let me ask you this if YOU were performing and all of a sudden you were getting rocks thrown at you, how would it make you feel?.
And also I already know this story, The band got booked for this show, and the whole show was supposed to be hardcore metal. Nickelback got thrown on the list to perform. It's not there fault..you bunch of flamers - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1they shouldnt have walked out but called more security in and tossed the ppl that were throwing things out.
- wickedscholar, on 06/04/2008, -0/+0What a bunch of *****! Nickelback blows. They have to be the *****, most overrated band in the world right now.
- Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I don't like Nickelback, but as a musician, I definitely sympathize. Imagine trying to play while people are throwing rocks at you. If you don't like Nickelback, why go to one of their concerts?
- chaiulud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0ugh. not hard rock. and indeed... funny.
- SweeterThnEqual, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1The middle finger at the end... real classy.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2I like Nickelback.
- nesibus, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2need to change their name to RockBack
...
