Not only does Nickelback suck, Nickelback sucks!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Nickelback has never cared if you like them. In fact, the perennially popular Canadian hard rock titans have in recent years embraced their reputation as the “world’s most hated band.”

But that hasn’t stopped music fans north of the 49th parallel from bristling at the band’s decision to join noted Donald Trump booster Kid Rock as a co-headliner for Rock the Country, a massive U.S. rock festival described as a celebration of the country’s “God-fearing patriots.”

“If you hated Nickelback before, how about now that they’re doing a MAGA-friendly festival tour?” one lapsed fan wrote on X.

“Rock The Country is more than just a festival,” the event’s website reads. “It’s a gathering for the true heart of America. This is where hardworking, God-fearing patriots unite under the open sky, celebrating the freedom we hold dear and the power of live music to connect us all.”

7. I know, right? Real patriots don't have to thump their chests about being patriots.

Using that level of patriotic buzzwords all the time probably means you're compensating for something. It's like hanging trucknutz on your pickup.

4. I'll give them a pass

The Rock the Country website doesn't specifically mention Trump or MAGA. Knowing where your bread is buttered isn't the same as having a political axe to grind. If Nickelback wants to thread this needle and try to succeed as a touring band in 2025, they can have at it.

8. How dare you insult the creator of both Autobots and Decepticons!

6. Kid fucking Rock.

A true example of God and Good and Patriot. He served how? A real good man every dad of a daughter would die for as a son in law.
Never cared for Nickleback one way or the other, but felt bad for the hell they have taken from critics. But Now, put me on the band wagon of Fuck them and that Rock the Country promotion. Maybe a reading of the Constitution and the 10 commandments at the Under Gods Sky would be appropriate for all those Hard Working God/fearing American Patriots, true heart of American’s.
Stop the God Fearing shit, they promote and follow every fucking thing not God. They celebrate mocking God, If they feared him they need to run for their fucking souls, if that exists, before the smelting gets going.
God damn it God, have you no self respect?
At least your son showed a back bone tossing over tables and condemning the lies and grifters.
I know, ya did that flood thing, maybe all these smaller floods are a message, they ain’t getting the message though.
MAGA is the exact not God Fearing or Patriot.
I see those words and think Satan worshipping.
Looking like he is doing the winning.
