this brings tears of joy to my eyes... an amazing display of human courage in order to avoid listening to a crappy band play their terrible music for 2 hours...

That was so beautiful...

Thats dumb, it just ruined the fans night, i swear if you don't like the music don't go to the shows

I don't get it. Har har. Why waste your time at a show you don't like?

She raises a good point.

course she does, every band has people that think they suck no reason to ruin the fun for the real fans.

It's like Ozzfest except the band is worse!

Kind of an [CENSORED] way to react to a sucky band.

The person who threw the rock was probably beaten to death by angry Nickleback fans.

nickleback weren't getting too many cheers though, the crowd obviously didn't want nickleback playing. they went to a show for the same reason most people end up seeing bands they don't like - they're playing with other bands.

there have been shows here with local black metal bands that co-headline with hardcore bands. the hardcore bands usually get boo'ed off the stage as well. the show organizer is at fault for even putting nickleback on the bill, obviously they didn't blend well with whoever else was playing.

They were at a music festival. Maybe they played before a better band people actually wanted to see.

hah i feel sorry for them......

I, uhm...Thought that nickleback stopped touring and such, or decided to end it. I guess not, but maybe they should consider it...hmm.

If that's true that'd make more sense.
It would have just been stupid if they actually paid for tickets just to see them and not like it. :o

Yeah, Ebby, most likely a festival. I didn't see the rock... was it on the movie?
Nickelback aren't that bad... I mean, it's not really my music (I like some good rock every now and then though) but you can listen to it...

 Quote: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.

The drummer didn't give the crowd the finger though. Those were the devil hornsss.
