NICKELBACK

WARNING LOTS OF NICKELBACK PICTURES!!!!!!!

Nickelback Preconert!

So Kyle and I went to Vegas over Halloween weekend to see Nickelback in concert.  I saw on facebook that they would be doing a preconcert at Mandalay Beach.  We went over and got tickets and got to see them up close!  The first picture is of the entire band.  The second is to show you what the place looked like.  Kyle and I were standing in the water just a few feet away from the band.  It was so cool!  Then third picture is of Chad the lead singer of Nickelback and the fourth is over the drummer. Now I know you are wondering why a picture of these guys cuz the lead singer really isn't good looking {but the drummer is =) }.  Kyle took the picture of the lead singer looking in our direction and the drummer is amazing! The 5th pic is the guitar player who is the half brother to the lead singer.  In the 6th pic it has the head cut off of the lead singer but the guy in the background is the guy who named the band.  He also sings along with the lead singer and so does the drummer.  They sang 3 songs.  They sang Rock Star, Friend in low places by Garth Brook, and This Afternoon.  It would have been cool had they sang more songs but honestly it was awesome to be so close hanging out at the pool.  One thing I do love about Nickelback is they do sing other bands songs and it makes it fun.  Plus the concert lasts longer which I wish it would last longer. I was so sad this was their last concert until they put out another album. =(

This shows what the stage looked like and where our seats were.  We were pretty close but I wish we were closer.  Next time I'm spending the money for better tickets.

This pic is of the Nickelback symbol that is on their new album Dark Horse.

This is Nickelback on stage.  The platform the drummer is on actually moves.  When the band takes a break the platform moves and he plays an awesome drum solo and the platform also rises.  It was so COOL!!!

Nickelback moved out onto the smaller stage and sang a bunch of songs.  This is when they really interacted with the crowd.  I love it!  It was cool when they went to this stage cuz as they were walking out to it the drummers drums came up from under the stage.

Another awesome part of the concert besides the awesome music was Nickelback always has tons of fireworks and fire throughout the concert.  As you can tell these last 2 pics are of the fire.  There was blue, green, red, and yellow fire used.  I don't know if you could feel the heat from every seat but you sure could feel it where we were.

Behind the band was a huge screen that they played the music video to their songs or showed them singing or playing their guitar or drums.  I hope these pictures are as awesome as the concert was.  It was hard to pick which picture to put on here.  We took SO MANY!!  Even if you aren't a Nickelback fan which is hard to imagine they put on an awesome concert.  There were so many things going on. 

This isn't the best picture but it is the lead singer of Hinder and Chad talking before they sang.  They had the lead singer of Hinder come out and sing the song by AC/DC Highway to Hell.  I don't know if he did that at every concert but I think he only showed up for this one in Vegas.  I do know he didn't show up for the concert in SLC.  

Also the comedian (who is very creepy looking I think) Carrot Top show up and come out.  The lead singer tried to talk him into shaving his hair into a mohawk but he declined. 
THANK YOU Kyle for being wiling to go to this concert with me.  I fell in love with Nickelback when I heard their song How you remind me. (Thanks to my brother Brian for burning me a cd with that song on it).  I can't wait for the next concert!!!!
