The page that the young woman started, Coral Anne, the “Pickle” Nickelback facebook page was meant to be a page that is not supposed to be for hating on Nickelback. Plus, I don’t think that is really Chad Kroeger chatting with Coral Anne in e-mail in Facebook. Probably, just another one of her jokes. It was all meant to be for fun and humor. Kind of the like Mad Magazine or the Onion or something like that. The Nickelback haters think she’s using it for Nickelback hate but that’s not her vision with the page. I see her as a bored person wanting some fun in Facebook.

While so many music fans may hate Nickelback as well as I, do you think a band like Nickelback would care if so many people hate them online? No. They could give a rats ass. While so many don’t like their music, you can’t deny that they are a best selling band. And they do write a bunch of hits. In my eyes, when so many people hate a band or a certain solo artist, that is doing nothing but promoting their music even more. Giving the band more publicity. Like I sometimes say, sometimes bad publicity is great.

I’m sure the real Chad Kroeger would actually like the “Pickle” Facebook page. Honestly, I think he would be flattered by it. So don’t get the wrong idea that he would be upset by Nickelback hate on the internet, ’cause I think he would find all this entertaining. Yes, I am actually defending this band. I’m not a fan, I don’t like their music. They are successful. Like ’em or not.

I’m sure Chad would speak out on this “Pickle” stuff soon when he gets around to it, to squash rumours that he didn’t threaten to shut the page down and all that. Think about it, if Nickelback “sucked”, then they wouldn’t have gotten signed to a major label and constantly selling over millions of records. Saying they “suck” is just an opinion. I’m sure they still have some fans and supporters that still support them. That’s why they still do what they do.

He maybe egostitical, delusional and maybe an asshole, but who isn’t in the music industry these days? It seems that stuff is what music is all about. All musicians have egos whether national or local. Hell, I’ll admit that I have a huge ego at times! Nothing wrong with having an ego or delusional problem, right? That’s the name of the game with music and musicians have to deal with these things.
