RWJC Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Nickelback to perform during NHL's Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium Canadian rock band Nickelback will take the stage at Commonwealth Stadium when the Edmonton Oilers host the Calgary Flames in the NHL's Heritage Classic later this month. Nickelback, recently honoured with an induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, will perform during the second intermission on Oct. 29, the Oilers announced Wednesday. This year's Heritage Classic will mark the 20th anniversary of the NHL's first-ever regular-season outdoor game, which was also hosted at the home of the CFL's Edmonton Elks. The 2003 event saw the Montreal Canadiens record a 4-3 victory over the Oilers before 57,167 fans in the Alberta capital. The NHL has hosted a total of 37 regular-season outdoor games, attended by more than 1.85 million spectators. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 4, 2023.

Strawbone Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Nickleback isn't my cup of tea, but I certainly don't hate them. It seems to me people hate them just for being popular and successful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Even the CFL has a better act for the Grey Cup this year. The NHL really is bush league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I don't listen to Nickelback but I do understand why they are popular for sporting events. Was at the 2011 Grey Cup and although they're not my favourite, they rocked the house and created a pretty good atmosphere. Really though? What a beautiful love song...

Canadian band active and successful for nearly 30 years, even if some of their new music isn't my thing I don't hate them at all. Also know a former member of the band who has nothing but nice things to say about the guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand they’re not everyone’s favorite band but they’re like the top 105th band of all time in worldwide album sales, pretty good for a band from small town Alberta. And since I’ve been living in Hanna, their hometown, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting them more than once and they’re really down to earth and have never failed to support the community and help with local fundraisers when asked. Just all around good guys. A Canadian success story we should be proud of no matter what you think about the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwarrior Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 So, I guess this is proof the league does indeed hate the fans by subjecting them to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently, when referencing Nickelback it’s generally spelled Suckcess. I believe they trademarked that. Just my dumb opinion but Chad’s singing voice sounds like he’s horribly constipated and painfully sharing that with the listener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Awesome! Alf likes this singing group. And they are from Alberta. Excellent choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nailed it. The rest of the music isn't that bad, just formulaic, but I'd rather listen to Hamarayan Singh than hear that singing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapshot Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The internet convincing the entire world that a mediocre rock band with the occasional decent song is the biggest musical abomination in the history of the world has the be one of the weirdest psyops ever. I'll take How You Remind Me over any mumble rap bullshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
