i dont think Nickelback are that bad...i like some of their singles, havent heard a full studio album though as i have got a feeling they may not make good studio albums so im waiting for a "best of" set to be released.

you are correct, my mistake....Simple Plan did release an album.

no, never got to see Sheepdogs, we didnt get there till around 1.30pm,they were on in the morning for a half hour set...wish i'd made the attempt to see them now.
