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."
