Off to Brum in a bit to see these 2 corking bands. I'm particularly a massive fan of the 3 Daughtry CDs and was miffed I missed them supporting Nickelback a couple of years back (will never get to the one-off headlining midweek shows in London) so really excited to see Daughtry live, even if they only play for 45 minutes or so. I love Nickelback singles and most album tracks too so really looking forward to a night of quality modern alt/melodic rock from these 2 bands. Might not have much voice left by the end of the night with the amount of sing-a-longs to come!

Figured You Out]]> andypuk NoticeboardWed, 03 Oct 2012 19:17:38 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,913866,913905#msg-913905 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,913866,913905#msg-913905
Loved hearing Daughtry live and I'dd be mega-chuffed if they did an o2 academy headline tour for a full 90 minutes close up with the band. Great stage presence and setlist although I was a bit disappointed they only did 'No Surprise' off my favourite Daughtry CD 'Leave This Town' and did 2 tracks from debut (amongst 5 in total) that I like but am not so fussed on ('Feels Like Tonight', 'There and Back Again').

Nickelback were just awesome! I enjoy their albums but find the overtly pervy lyrics and swear words not to my liking too much at times so don't own loads of their albums. Did a compilation of their singles and tracks that aren't so blatantly pervy a few months back though and it's on in my car constantly. So Daughtry was my major pull to book this gig but Nickelback rocked the arena, packed out to almost full, with a superb set, rocking show, fantastic sound, spectacular lights and video show and really natural, relaxed and funny interactions on the stage and with the crowd. A truly superb live band and 10/10 for me. Loved it!]]> Cressy NoticeboardWed, 03 Oct 2012 18:13:19 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,913866,913873#msg-913873 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,913866,913873#msg-913873
Both bands were very good - Chad in particular has a great rapport with the audience.

Hopefully you'll have okay seats. I must admit, I was so far from the stage at the O2 Arena that I felt totally disengaged from the gig. It was like watching a DVD. Add to that the cost of refreshments - £4.60 for a Coca-Cola - and some arseholes in the crowd who spent the entire gig chatting, texting and acting like total twats, I must admit it wasn't the best gig I've ever attended. But that's more to do with the venue/crowd than the bands.

I've seen Nickelback at smaller venues - Shepherds Bush Empire a few years ago - and that was much more pleasurable.

But don't listen to me - I'm just being grumpy! Enjoy tonight!]]> Martin Howse NoticeboardWed, 03 Oct 2012 01:35:28 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,913866,913870#msg-913870 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,913866,913870#msg-913870Enjoy guys.
