Nickleback has thanked the Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney for dissing them.
This unprecedented move comes after Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney told Rolling Stone that “Rock & roll is dying because people became O.K. with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world. So they became O.K. with the idea that the biggest rock band in the world is always going to be sh*t.”
Nickleback took to their official twitter account later on and said “Thanks to the drummer in the Black Keys calling us the Biggest Band in the World in Rolling Stone. Hehe”.
This is not the first time Nickleback bravely took the haters. Back in November, thousands petitioned against the band’s Thanksgiving Day NFL halftime performance.
The frontman Chad Kroeger in an interview with Billboard heard saying “We get that all the time. We’ve never really been a critics’ darling or anything like that… The people speak. We sell a lot of records and fill a lot of arenas, and we don’t hear many complaints.”
