NICKELBACK NAILED IT PERFORMING ZZ TOP'S 'SHARP DRESSED MAN'




This really pumps man! Nickelback need no introduction, this canadian four piece has long since conquered the world since storming onto the rock charts with the 2001 release SILVER SIDE UP.


Since that time the band lost drummer Ryan Videkal in quite acromonious circumstances, due to creative and personal diffrences with the other band members, especially guitarist/lead singer Chad Kroeger, but NICKELBACK continues to power along with ever growing commercial impact.


Kroeger might now be sporting a short back and sides goodey two shoes hair cut, but he still knows how to write a mean guitar riff, even if the band is branching out in a more ballad and acoustic direction as the four members grow older.


Have to say Videkal's replacement, former 3 DOORS DOWN drummer Daniel Adair, is an absolutely awesome drummer in his own right, make sure you check out some of his solo drum solos on You Tube if you get the chance.


Here is NICKELBACK performing a blistering version of ZZ Top's SHARP DRESSED MAN live in 2007, you gotta have guts to try and get up on stage and playing a cover of such an iconic song from one of america's most iconic band's of the 80`s, but NICKELBACK took the chance and nailed it.
