Default Live opening for Nickelback

Wow, I think it should be the other way around, but this way I can go and catch Live's show and then leave before Nickelback starts.

Too bad they aren't playing without those losers from Hanna.....

That "band" has to be one of the most disgustly stupid acts out there today. Completely embarrasing.

Crap, followed by more crap.

Two of the most savaged recordings in recent memory:

The New York Times
For hard-rock ridiculousness, Nickelback is tough to beat.

All Music Guide
Despite all their newly developed relative nuances, Nickelback remain unchanged: they're still unspeakably awful.

ShakingThrough.net
Birds of Pray just seems clueless, like a high school kid who doesn't realize that his strident need to seem interesting just makes him a joke, and not a particularly funny one at that.

Blender
Every chorus is a rousing tribute to overstatement.

I like the fact that people seem to be catching on slowly when it comes to Nickelback.

I guess even the dumbass public can tell eventually when the new singles sound exactly like the old ones.

Old Live music is some of the best. I am a big fan of Throwing Copper, and Secret Semhidi.

Live is one of my favourites, definitely not crap IMO. They produced a lot of great songs. Especially on the Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi.

I find it strange that they are opening for Nickelback. In my mind it should be the other way around.
