Nickelback Tour

Mon Nov 16, 2009, 7:29 PM
GUESS WHAT!!!!


I went to my first ever concert
...unless you can include the Wiggles when I was like 4... *shame*

Yesterday I was able to go and see Nickelback live in Melbourne!!!

And...
IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!

While we were waiting for the band, the Mexican Wave went round a couple of times
By about the third or forth time though, it was only half hearted by most people

Chad Kroeger sounded awesome and the band was great onstage
In between songs Chad would be cracking jokes... well saying things that were funny
He kept on talking about the ****** photographers
And also beer, boobs and drugs
As he put it
(Well, atually this time, not so much about the boobs)

I remember one bit, I think it was just before Photograph
I'll let you use your imagination on how he talked and how many times he dropped the F-Bomb)
Where he was talking about High School and how it was so great
No responsibilities, no taxes, the bliss of not knowing what the mortgage was (And other things)
And all he worried about was whether he was getting laid the next weekend (Lots of laughs)
And obviously he shared the school with a couple of concert go-ers (More laughs)

Chad also said he loved being in Australia
And one of the best things about Australia is we have something no other country has
Can you guess what it is?
.

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!

AUSSIE!
OI!
AUSSIE!
OI!
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!OI OI OI!

He was really into turning the concert into a party
There was so much interaction with the audience
(And if you were in the mosh - you would've been splashed with beer by the band)
But the people in the sides got to have a couple of shots handed to them by the band members

Nickelback played many songs over the 2 hours or so, with
Photograph
Animals
Savin' Me
Far Away
If Everyone Cared
Rockstar
Something in Your Mouth
Burn it to the Ground
Gotta Be Somebody
Someday
Because of You
Figured You Out
How You Remind Me
Too Bad
If Today was Your Last Day

(And probably a couple others that I've forgotten)

I'd probably get the DVD of the tour
One of the guys in our group said Nickelback's concert was one of the best he'd been to
He even said it was better than Coldplay and P!nk
Because there was a lot of audience invovlement in Nickelback, whereas P!nk's was a performance
In P!nk's the was so much stuff going on in the background,
and she was always spinning around or doing something
That you were just too busy watching the performance

That and hardly anyone stood up
Whereas in Nickelback, they nearly got the whole 'Loudatorium'* to be upstanding
*Just quoting Chad again, just cause I can
Particularly with one of the final songs Too Bad
They had nearly everyone standing up, bouncing and/or doing the devil's horns
...I just did the devil horns... for obvious reasons

If there's still concerts near you, and tickets are available
I definitely suggest going to see it - It's well worth it

PS The compare between the P!nk and Nickelback concerts is a friend's opinion not mine
