Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
We all cannot be rock stars, we all can not all be heroes to the world, yet we do something that is heroic and takes real guts and determination, it can be a rock star choice, we can stop the hate, not just on certain genres but on people too, countries, individuals, we can bring an end to the practise of self proclaimed abhorrence to that which we either don’t understand or which we confess to never listening to in the first place.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
It doesn’t take much mental acumen to notice that the machine is getting bigger, more intolerable, extra insidious; you would have to be without sight and the ability to listen to know that life is less about freedom and more of being ground down and used for fertiliser. Pink Floyd may have welcomed you to the machine but Nickelback have shown in their latest release just how to Feed The Machine.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The gaze of the music lover as they stare into the image, the dramatic pose of the Rock musician as they ply their trade on stage may leave some baffled, bemused by the adoration and respect dished out as songs about sex, abandonment, alcohol and heroism are played out before an arena’s audience; no band perhaps has caused that bemusement more to manifest in the eyes of eyes of a large percentage of the population than Nickelback.

For many a band, home is perhaps somewhere only where you dump your stuff and put a fresh change of clothes into a bag before heading off onto the road again. The road, whether it’s a journey from Hell on the M6, somewhere between Bicester and Scotland or one of those cross-country runs underneath the open skies of the North American highway, can be all consuming and in the end nowhere feels native, everywhere feels as though you could settle down and find love; it is in the end the sign of the murky waters that goes with having No Fixed Address.
