There’s not a lot of people willing to die on the hill of Nickelback in 2016. The group hasn’t released an album since 2014’s No Fixed Address, which met a reception that was lukewarm at best. You may even say that Avril Lavigne’s dislike of Nickelback haters is stronger than the band’s discography.
Lavigne showed this when she went on a mini-Twitter rant yesterday (May 12). The singer was responding to an E! News article with the headline “Justice for Nickelback: Poll Reveals People Actually Dislike One Thing More Than the Rock Band.” The writer wasted no time making a punchline out of the band led by Lavigne’s erstwhile husband, Chad Kroeger: “It’s no secret pretty much everyone hates the Canadian rock band more than dog poo on a shoe.”
Lavigne wasn’t laughing.
