Music DVD Review: Nickelback - Live At Sturgis - Page 2

It looks and sounds fabulous, and if you've got a fancy sound system, you're going to love the audio mix. The Dimebag Darrell tribute "Side Of A Bullet" features video of the man himself and the one-two knockout punch of "How You Remind Me" and "Too Bad" is ample proof of why folks love Nickelback, regardless of what critics might say.

Away from the too brief festival show, you get the usual behind the scenes documentary where too many people are wearing shades indoors to be taken seriously, as well as a five minute advertorial for the Sturgis rally, a photo gallery and the video for "Rock Star."

Despite my slight reservations, Live At Sturgis still an excellent concert DVD. However, if you're thinking about buying this for the 12 year old Nickelback fan in your life, be warned. There is a surfeit of potty mouth from Chad and a large number of naked breasts on display. Although, depending on you, that may just count as a bonus!

    a "great" nickelback song is like a "wonderful" wet willy. or a "rad" rape. or something. seriously, it would take being someone who just sat on 140 decibels for 8 hours (as it would be at a motorcycle rally, i suppose) to not be horribly offended by this canadian poop-rock.

    if your wife gives you this for christmas, you're getting divorced; if your friend gives you this for christmas, your friend is fucking your wife; if your father gives you this for christmas, next he's whipping out the belt because you asked for something to cry about, you little shit.

    no, no mark. linkin park is too girly for nickelback. nickelback is all manly manness. man upon man, in another man, manning up to the man, man. seriously, if there were an "m" chord and an "n" chord, nickelback would only use three chords.

    linkin park, as shitty as they were, were never this bad. at least they had some pop aspirations, even if they did come out as emo-rap-rock squeals.

    aah hahahaha, the dvd is so shitty it's sold out on amazon (hmmm...unless they only had 5 copies) I think it's a safe bet to say that nickelback kicks ass, the only thing i see that could hurt them is mutt lang turning them into something they aren't. why mess with a good thing mutt? look what u did to shania you dumb ass.
