my Nickelback story

I was thinking earlier about different shows that I've been to. around 1999 or 2000, I saw Nickelback play. it was before they were famous and I really had not even heard of them at that point. they were playing at a club with 2 or 3 other bands for something like $5, so I went with some friends.

On this night, I got more drunk than I had ever been in my life. I was still throwing up 12 hours later. anyway, towards the end of Nickelback's show, I made my way to the front of the stage, reached up, and unplugged all of the horseface singer's pedals and equipment. I also grabbed the setlist which was taped to the stage, turned around, and calmly walked back into the crowd. if you've seen Forrest Gump, it was almost like that scene where the military guy goes and unplugs the PA equipment while Forrest is giving his speech. I looked back and a roadie or somebody had run forward and was frantically plugging everything back in. nobody said anything about it, not even the bouncers. they were probably thankful for my drunken asshole actions. at that point, I'd never heard of Nickelback and was too drunk to realize how bad they would go on to suck. so it's almost like God himself guided me to the front of the stage for some divine intervention. funny or asshole?

you all are seriously ridiculous

wait till some drunken asshole walks up to Pearl Jam's stage and unplugs their shit. We'll see how hilarious you think that is.

No matter how much i hate a band, i would never fuck with their shit. You just don't do that. All my friends are in bands and i guess i just understand what it means to fuck with a band's equiptment. You just don't do it.

Like the music or not, they have every right to do their job. No one shows up where you work and unplugs your computer or sets fire to your cement mixer.

Fuckers.

Take it down a notch dude. We're in an internet chat forum

He told a story that some of us found funny. Don't believe anybody else stated they would do the same thing. Nor do I think he's planning on doing it again.

Why does the Stickleback lead singer always get called horseface? He's always reminded me of the cowardly lion in the Wizard Of Oz!
