I understand that. There are a multitude of things I don't like contending with at arena concerts: overwhelming cigarette smoke, amplification systems cranked up way too high, bad acoustics, loud people, obstructed views, uncomfortable seats, lines everywhere, moving about, etc. But that's the way it's always been. Since you're a frequent concert goer, I figured you would have resigned to this years ago.
With the general smoking bans indoors which are now going on 30 years, the smoking of any sort in a concert hasn't been too big an issue. It does happen occasionally and when it does I go on a rant about it.
Seems like an odd opener. Great song but I wouldn't have expected it as first song
I only know 17 of the 29
100% agree on this. Whether or not everyone's done it since the beginning of time is irrelevant to me, I'd like to see 'em thrown out of the venue.
I was directly familiar with 8. I think I have heard another 3 from way back when I listened to the "Appetite For Destruction" CD in its entirety. There was not a song on this playlist which I did not enjoy even if unfamiliar.
Have they been arrested?
No. Just the natural price vs demand action. As they continue, they will pay their next audience.
Why would I go to Canada?
Any Nickelback haters will be arrested.
The audience does pay attention to Nickelback.
So we don't need to order a bunch of "FREE NICKELBACK!" T-shirts like they made for Britney. Got it.
The concert was a part of TIFF. Promoting a new movie "Hate To Love: Nickelback" which no doubt documents the universal hatred most sane people have toward this band.
