Travelled over to Newcastle from Belfast for this gig and hands down one of the best gigs I have attended ever. I saw daughtry a few months ago in the US and was really impressed - a very tight professional outfit and they did not disappoint last night either. Great set list and the crowd seemed to really enjoy it. Nickelback get a hard time from many quarters probably because they are very successful as evidenced by the near sell out arena tour. Their last album has been the weakest for years but it still has some great tracks. As a live band - brilliant. Saw them in Belfast a few years ago but even since then they have grown as a band. Chad as a frontman interacted brilliantly with the audience but most importantly he can really sing live. Very impressed. Rest of the band seemed to actually want to be on stage and enjoy themselves providing great musical and backing vocal support. Only gripe is a few more of the rockers could have been added to set list but minor gripe tbh. Even if you are not a great fan of their music go see them live as they will impress with their good time rock and roll show.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914356#msg-914356Sun, 26 May 2013 10:00:47 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914512#msg-914512 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914512#msg-914512 stevie(NI) NoticeboardMon, 08 Oct 2012 07:27:07 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914508#msg-914508 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914508#msg-914508 DaveP NoticeboardMon, 08 Oct 2012 06:48:57 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914507#msg-914507 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914507#msg-914507
Funnily enough I really love latest CD and prefer it to 'Dark Horse' hugely (an album with great production and all but lots of sweary, pervy songs that don't float my boat so much). Love the rockers and ballads on 'Here and Now' and I've found it to be one of the most consistent Nickelback albums for my tastes.

Anyway, with you all on them live. Great stage presence and performances.]]> Cressy NoticeboardMon, 08 Oct 2012 06:33:52 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914503#msg-914503 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914503#msg-914503 OzzMosiz NoticeboardMon, 08 Oct 2012 05:13:51 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914356#msg-914356 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914356,914356#msg-914356
