Nickelback? WTF.....

[edgecrusheraza]

Taken and VinneandDime.com:

Jon Wiederhorn of MTV.com is reporting that a previously unreleased solo by late PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN guitarist Dimebag Darrell will appear this fall in an unlikely place: on NICKELBACK's new album, "All the Right Reasons". The guitar parts for the flailing, 24-second lead were donated by Darrell's brother, drummer Vinnie Paul, and assembled from outtakes from the PANTERA albums "Vulgar Display of Power" and "Far Beyond Driven".

The song, a tribute to Darrell titled "Side of a Bullet", was written three months after the guitarist was killed while performing onstage with DAMAGEPLAN in Columbus, Ohio. NICKELBACK mainman Chad Kroeger first penned the song's aggressive, metallic riff, then wrote call-and-response lyrics from the perspective of a PANTERA fan so enraged over Dimebag's murder that he vows revenge, not realizing the shooter had already been killed by a policeman.

"I was very upset, and for two months, if I saw his picture somewhere I would get angry," Kroeger told MTV.com. "I hadn't lost somebody to a shooting before — it wasn't as though he'd been killed in some sort of accident. He was taken in such a horrible, malicious way that just made it more painful."

Once Kroeger finished demoing "Side of a Bullet", he called up Paul and played it to him to get his take on the tune. Paul liked what he heard and urged Kroeger to write lyrics about Dime. "I said, 'Well, funny enough, that song is about your brother,' " Kroeger recalled.

Paul volunteered to play on the song, so Kroeger overnighted him the tape and encouraged him to record a new drum track over the one played by NICKELBACK drummer Daniel Adair. "He thought about it for a while," Kroeger said, "then he decided that Daniel had done such an amazing job that we should leave it the way it was. That's when he sent the guitar parts from 'Vulgar Display of Power' and 'Far Beyond Driven', which we used for the solo."

WTF...........this is lame. Couldn't Vinnie give the solo to an actual GOOD band?

[Gnarkiller]

At least he didnt give it to "a perfect murder"

[MindsetOfAnnihilation]

I thought that dime had done studio work for them... but if i am reading this correctly they are just using samles from vdop and fbd... this makes me happier

[fags mate]

i remember how dissapointed i was when i heard nickelback were working on their 2nd album, those guys should just shut up.

Side of a Bullet > lyrics


Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say
“Oh God, don’t let him pull it”

Please God, don’t let him pull it
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched you do it

How could you take his life away?
How could you be so full of hate?
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own,
I cried alone

And scratched your name
On the side of a bullet

And in the wake of his mistake
So many lives are broken
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse that you could use
Could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say
“God why’d you let him do it?”

How could you let him do it?
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched him do it

How could you take his life away?
How could you be so full of hate?
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world
all wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
and on my own
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet

On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet

song blows

[onetwothreefour]

that's one the shittiest, most poorly written, exploitative, dogshit "tributes" i've ever heard. i'm not even keeping it for the dime solo. makes me wanna shit myself.

[Dimebag Derek]

The songs not worth listening to again just for the 10 second solo.
I'd rather just throw in FBD and mosh in my house. >:]

[Lestat]

I agree

[tgstk2]

i like the song.

[IMISS]

Nickelback was on rockline last night and Chad said Vinnie was going down to Houston to Buzzfest to pick up his bubble hockey from them..
I'm so hoping he gets on stage and does a song with them..

Also I hope they invite Billy Gibbons up as well.. it would be a perfect show to tape!!!!!!!!

[oblivious]

fuckin

[long4theblur]

i hate nickleback just as much as the next guy, but this song is tolerable just for the guitarwork. just try to ignore the shitty vocals.

[PanteraRuleTheWorld]

Is it actually a recording of Dime playing the riff or whoever the fuck plays in nickelback playing it?
