Many jokes can and will be made about this

Damn, how badass is Nickelback? They have to hold their shows right next to a gorge to keep fans from sneaking in. Nickelbackmania!

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

I guess he was ( •_•)>⌐■-■...

Through with standing in line for clubs he'll never get in! (⌐■_■)

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Damn, the Facebook comments already went through the "trying to sneak OUT" jokes already.

[Mr. N]

I can only assume he was sneaking in so as not to let anyone know he was going to a Nickelback concert.

[anticonscience]

I'll admit that I went to this tour last week. Nickelback has a few songs I like, I've heard that they put on a good show, it was a Groupon where tix that were usually like $80 were on sale for $35, and I love My Darkest Days (who opened the show).

I enjoyed myself. I don't care what anybody says, lol

Someone took the lyrics to "Savin' Me" to literally:

"Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'"

Could you imagine if he'd actually made it into the concert? His brain would have melted out of his ears.

I love how every news site is emphasizing that he was intoxicated.

Seriously. His life almost ended while he was doing something very stupid. Hopefully this teaches people a lesson: "Friends don't let friends drink and go to Nickleback concerts."

HOW DO YA LEARN TO FALL DOWN A 40 FOOT GOURGE!

Was it this man?

I know a lot of people don't like Nickelback on this forum, but why the hate? I don't listen to them because that is not the kind of music I listen to, but is it a fair assessment that they are like the ICP? They are a hit and miss band. When they are listenable they are quite good, but when they are bad, they just plain suck.

[Bam Neeley]

Well. Falling was probably less painful than succeeding.

The words "falling, "gorge," and "concert" brought to mind the story of the men at the Metallica concert in 1996. I was (pleasantly) surprised to discover that it's an urban legend: www.darwinawards.com/legends/legends1998-05.html

How else can you enjoy Nickleback, and I hate how they got their name.

like The Eagles and Bon Jovi before them, they're about as milquetoast and cheesy as a rock band can get. even their attempts at being sexy/edgy are unintentionally hilarious. they're harmless, but they're so cheesy that mocking them is too fun to pass up. they're like the musical equivalent of The Room, if that movie actually made any money.
