[Video] Nickelback gets owned by portugal!

[Squeeky]

Nickelback are in the usually enviable position of being a Canadian band that's loved throughout the world ? all the world except Portugal, it seems.

The band were playing the Ilha do Ermal festival in Portugal on Monday (August 19) when they were forced to walk off the stage in the middle of their second song. According to a Portuguese television report, the Portuguese public were looking forward to the concert and are generally well behaved ? in fact, no band in recent memory has had to cut a show in Portugal short. But the Portuguese just weren't digging the ?Back.

While in mid-song, singer Chad Kroeger was suddenly sprayed with a full bottle of water, hurled from somewhere within the audience. Kroeger immediately tore off his guitar and confronted the crowd.

"Are there any Nickelback fans in Portugal?" he asked into the mic.

"Are you sure?" he asked, after the crowd let off little more than a grumble. "It's up to you, do you want to hear some rock 'n' roll or do you want to go home?"

Obviously, they wanted to go home. Just as Chad turned around, he was pelted in the back of the head with what looked like a large rock.

"See ya," he replied with a wave.

With that, the entire band followed him off the stage. Both Kroeger and drummer Ryan Vikedal (who's sporting a Rick The Temp faux mohawk these days) gave the audience the finger as they strode off.

Nickelback's label, Roadrunner, has posted video footage of the entire incident on the Blabbermouth section of their website. Luckily, it appears that Kroeger was unharmed by the rock.

Morons...

Why would you go to a concert just to boo the band? Nickleback isn't my favorite but they are a decent bad and don't deserve that kind of crap.

Reminds me of the idiots (usually liberals) who go to political speeches just to interupt the speaker and make asses of themselves.

Prolly a combo of not enough brains and too much to drink. Either way, it always irritates me when people throw stuff on-stage durring a concert...

[Sputty]

Nickelback sucks, but Portugal sucks too...
I'm conflicted.

:lol:

[Squeeky]

It was actually a festival of music, if you read the article, not just nickelback. They probably didnt like Nickelback and decided to pelt them with rocks and waterbottles.

[Sputty]

You're right though bob, and it's funny as Nickelback seemed amicable enough to ask and then start to leave. Guess they get drunk when they can't try to wipe out species of fish

[BUGGER]

nickelback sucks......atm......they were good.

[I Hate Pants]

Squeeky posted this because they were Canadian and the got shut down on stage. Anything thats anti-Canadian, French or any country thats not America is worth posting here to him.

[Sputty]

Well, whatever, if portugal hates them, they can't be that bad

[Smaug]

Nickelback is pretty horrible, I hope they realize this soon and quit.

[I Hate Pants]

I haven't heard of any good bands coming out of Portugal lately.

[Smaug]

yeah and I haven't heard of any good ones coming out of canada :p.

[I Hate Pants]

Actually there have been many. But you guys mistake them for being American.

Our Lady Peace

Trebal Charger

Billy Talent

The list goes on. But now that you know their Canadian im sure most of you will disagree there good just for the sake of arguement.

No, i posted it here because it was funny. Portugal is retarded for throwing shit, and Nickelback is retarded for walking off stage.

[I Hate Pants]

Its cool man I was just joking. I don't care where a band comes from just as long as they're good. I just passionately hate nickelback thats all.

I hate them too...but again, I'm conflicted...
I relaly can't say which is better. Probably nickelback, but they still suck.

[Kikinchikin]

:lol:

[Seer]

I don't like Nickleback, but they're blameless here.

[Veteran]

Not much of a squirt if you ask me, but then again what kind of fuckup does that shit?

Probably not a rock, unless that guy has some pretty dense hair. Nice throw, though.

Looked gimpy all around.

[Squeeky]

Here is 2 nickelback songs at the same time. (Listen to it with headphones for optimum comparison)

All verses's cut in at the same time, along with the bridge and chorus. Drum tempo is almost the exact same.

:rofl:

[CorDharel]

I have to try this song out at home :D

Uhm to NB: my father likes them. I also do, if I have to do something that needs some chilly background sound. But don't get me wrong, I don't listen them very often :D

But I'm really sorry for the guys that grumbled... :groovy:

[HunterKiller]

Nickelback sucks, but Portugal sucks too...

why do you hate portugal?

[Jennyboo]

:( stupid people .. Nickleback = wIn ... they act like asshats they deserve to not hear nickleback :rawr: :mad: :(

[Hamma]

No, i posted it here because it was funny. Portugal is retarded for throwing shit, and Nickelback is retarded for walking off stage.

So, stfu
THey are retarded? Would you fucking stand there and take stones to the head while trying to play a guitar and sing? If so, please let me throw stones at you.

[Squeeky]

You can throw stones at me anytime baby :brow:


Actually, i didn't mean it that way. I should have elaborated. Yes, they we're right for walking off stage, but it was incredibly stupid for him and his drummer to walk off while flipping off the crowd. Totally unprofessional. But i agree with them walking off stage :lol:

[Queensidecastle]

I don't like Nickleback, but they're blameless here.

I totally agree.

[321]

it was incredibly stupid for him and his drummer to walk off while flipping off the crowd.

I agree when he asked if there were any Nickleback fans there was obviously some noise. So he flicked them off as well.

Holy shit!

[Biohazzard56]

Nickelback is pretty good (see: not the best) but that sucks

Also, he should have waved and asked if they like him, they are throwing rocks at you, its pretty fucking obvious that they dont.

[Happy lil Elf]

Title is backwards. Nickleback still got their money, and the dumbasses in portugal who paid to see them got the finger.

Nickleback is an ok band. I know I wouldn't say they're the best band out there, but they're definately not the worst. Was kinda cool getting to see them live a couple times before they made it big too.
