VANCOUVER (CP) - Nickelback is down a drummer after announcing longtime member Ryan Vikedal has left the band.

The departure of Vikedal, who's been with the band since its debut CD in 1996, was announced in a short statement issued by the group's record label EMI. "At this time, no replacement for Vikedal has been named and the band wishes Ryan all the best in his future endeavours," read the note.

Fronted by Chad Kroeger (news), Nickelback is currently working on new material in their homebase of Vancouver.


Nickelback formed in Hanna, Alta. They achieved international stardom with songs like How You Remind Me and Too Bad.

1. Grammy nominated?

Good lord, no wonder I don't listen to the radio. Nickelback is in the top five of a Grammy category?

8. I'M CONFUSED!-they released their last album in 2003

How can they still be up for a Grammy in 2005?

2. Good God NO! Where will they ever find another drummer...

... who will play mediocre crap for lots of money!

[Minstrel Boy]

3. Glad to hear he didn't choke on someone else's vomit.

They lose more drummers that way.

4. And who says that all drummers are morons anyway.

Not I. Not after reading that.

5. Stop them before they record again!

Aaagh! Such absolute shit.

6. "We reached irreperable creative differences"

"Mr. Vikedal still wants to walk away with what little shred of dignity and self-respect he has left, and that was just incompatible with the goals of the band."

7. Well it must be hard to decide what level of suck you want to reach

:bounce:

12. "Differences"? I didn't think Nickelback knew the word.(website included)

All of their songs are identical.

9. You know what's funny? I saw them at Music Midtown* years ago...

...about two years before they got famous. Their songs weren't exactly hard, but they were a lot more aggressive than the sappy drivel Nickelback puts out now. For instance, one was about doing shrooms (they devoted that one to the police at the event).

*for the record, Music Midtown sucks! It's this three day music festival in Atlanta, except that the music gets worse every year, and the drunk freepers get meaner every year.

10. Could they lose their other members, too? Please?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze?

11. I just ran into them in a Vancouver bar last week.

They were every bad thing you could possibly imagine they would be - arrogant, shallow and total pricks. And their music is unlistenable.

13. oh boo hoo

this is almost as sad as the time i found out Creed broke up.

:P

14. Whew!

At least it wasn't spontaneous combustion.

15. Hopefully, it'll be back to Hanna for the rest of them.

Back to Hicksville, you mad poodle-haired freaks.
