Chad and Mike from Nickelback took some time out of there day to chat with Ethan from inside the VORTX.

Whether you like it or not, Nickelback has been a top Rock band for the past 17 years. They’ve released nine albums including Feed The Machine which was released on June 16th. In March, Nickelback joined the exclusive DIAMOND-certified club after the RIAA certified the group’s fifth studio album, All the Right Reasons, DIAMOND for surpassing 10 million units. Even if you don’t like them, they’ve got to be doing something right to get all of those record sales.

Ethan had a chance to talk with the band about the new album, politics and what goals the band might still have to achieve.

The Feed The Machine Tour kicks off June 23 in Noblesville, Indiana, and continues with 45 dates across North America including stops in Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Vancouver, with more dates to be added along the way.  Daughtry will join Nickelback as their special guest for all of the U.S. dates, as well as Toronto and Montreal, while Shaman’s Harvest will be seen on all dates.  Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame icons, Cheap Trick will be special guests for the western Canadian leg of the tour. You can catch the tour at Starlight Theatre in Kansas City on July 23rd. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.

Feed The Machine is available everywhere music is sold and you can tune in to V100’s VORTX Sunday nights from 9-12 to hear the latest tunes from Nickelback and all of your other favorite bands.
