Music: Nickelfeud

As if Mr. Kroeger doesn't have enough to worry about...
Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger is suing former drummer Ryan Vikedal in a bid to stop him from collecting royalties on the hit songs of the rock band.

Kroeger and his production company, Arm Your Dillo Publishing Inc., are claiming damages against Vikedal for royalties received since he stopped being the band's drummer in January.

Maybe he should concentrate on writing... good songs instead of worrying about a few thousand dollars.

I know it's going to be hard for him to take, but I'm going to lay it all out on the line. Your music sucks. I know, I know. There are millions of people who like it, but they are all wrong. Bon Jovi asked, "Can 100,000,000 Fans be Wrong?" The simple answer is, yes, yes they can.

There are a million Canadians who acknowledge that this is how you remind us of how arragant you really are. Get your head out of your ass and realize that you're still Canadian, which in turn means being humble about your greatness. We're loved the world over, but only when we don't do stupid things. This, is a stupid thing.

I wouldn't be down on Nickelback if it wasn't for the fact that before you made it big, when I lived in Vancouver years and years ago, you guys were actually pretty good. I might've even seen one of your concerts, but I can't be sure. But, alas, you found your sound, your one song, and you stuck with it. Chad, experiment a little! Don't write the same song over and over and over and ov... You get it. It's annoying.
