Darcy Tucker and Sean Avery · Oct 24, 04:11 AM by Nickelback Freak
Just a few days ago Sean Avery, the Los Angeles Kings player, told reporters that our favorite band Nickelback was “Canada’s worst export” and compared them to the radio equivalent of lice, now one of my personal favorite hockey players Darcy Tucker, he plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs, has made it his personal mission to defend the band.
Why? Well Tucker hails from the same hometown as the band and as Darcy put it “I hardly ever agree with anything he says.”
Music Culture Calamity · Oct 17, 04:19 AM by Nickelback Freak
It appears the music industry is having some difficulty changing its culture from one of bribery and backroom scheming to get its songs played on the radio to a more legitamate way of doing business.
Recently Universal Records got smacked with a $12 million dollar fine for buying radio ad time to play there songs, but what makes this related to the band Nickelback is that recently Roadrunner Records bought airtime to inflate the rankings of Nickelbacks song “Far Away” and it worked… But seeing as how Roadrunner is owned by Universal it does show that the often complaining about the legal rules music industry isn’t so clean itself.
