Nickelback has become notorious for the hate they draw from music fans – a phenomenon the band wryly acknowledges; their documentary is actually titled “Hate To Love: Nickelback.” But you’d think they were beloved rock legends the way Nashville – and several country music stars – treated the band when they performed in the Music City.
The Canadian rock band already has certain country music ties; they’re currently touring with Brantley Gilbert. But when the tour stopped in Nashville, several of today’s top country stars showed up – not for Gilbert, at least not only for Gilbert – but for Nickelback. And it turned into quite an on-stage party.
The guests who jumped up with the bands included ERNEST, HARDY, Jelly Roll, Bailey Zimmerman and Jason Aldean – and they didn’t just get name-checked, they performed: ERNEST, Bailey Zimmerman, Chris Daughtry, and HARDY all came out on stage during the show to sing some of their songs with Nickelback, while Brantley Gilbert was joined by Jason Aldean and Jelly Roll. Nashville definitely got their money’s worth.
