Nickelback Frontman Talks Touring & Songwriting....


This past weekend with a big party in Las Vegas,Nickelback completed his successful tour for Dark Horse, But before he leaves to the other state, Billboard catches up the singer Chad Kroeger to take an interview to reveal about the band next steps, discuss the art of crafting a set list that varies from the hard rocking tracks to the slower ballads, as well as what's in store for the band's next album and what some of the special features of his brand new signature Les Paul Blackwater are.

"The rockers tend to come while we're in the studio. Just noodling around, you wind up with rock riffs.It's the other one that are harder to craft,the ones you sort of pine over a little bit more..." said Chad while giving an interview.

He continue saying that ""We've got so many of the 'How You Remind Mes,' the 'Somedays,' the 'Far Aways.' We've got a couple of the 'Photograph'-type things and a few of the 'Rockstar' and 'This Afternoons.' ...it's always a concern [whether] we have enough rockers in the set when we play live. You've got to save room for the 'Burn It to the Grounds' and that kind of stuff."

For the next album, Billboard reports that, "Kroeger expects to start writing in earnest around February and says he'd like to work with 'Dark Horse' co-producer Mutt Lange again, but most likely 'only in a writing capacity.'"

And when asked about his brand new signature guitar, Kroeger says it "has everything I need there in one guitar. When I've got clean parts in the song I've got this ghost Piezo pickup that makes it sound exactly like an acoustic guitar, and then when we get into the dirty, distorted parts, that's there, too. It's pretty exciting."

Nickelback What Makes Their Show So Lively And 'Rock N Roll'

According to a reliable source the Dark Horse World Tour saying, 'Throughout their fantastic set at The Honda Center in Anaheim this past Friday, Canada's finest rock band got asses shaking across the packed arena."It was happened when Nickelback rock this past weekend and brought their explosive live show to Anaheim

The source further confirmed that "That tune about the good old days, 'Photograph', allowed Chad to take a step back and showcase just why Nickelback are the modern rock phenomenon that they are.

The man can write an undeniable hit, but these songs enter bona fide timeless status live as fans chant along... Chad and Co. lit up the speakers with 'Shakin' Hands,' a stripper pole-ready anthem that immediately got the easy-on-the-eyes crowd of primarily real 'California Gurls' dancing. Nickelback ...Ultimately, Nickelback know how to put on a show with the right mix of songs, sex and swagger.'
