The other day driving in my car, listening to the radio, and
this Nickelback song comes on, I'd heard the tail end of it
once before when flipping the channels, but this was the first
time I'd heard nearly the whole song. It's the one
called "Rockstar", and if you haven't heard it, it's something
along the lines of Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good" (lyrically
speaking, musically it's nothing like it), wherein Chad Kroeger
sings about stuff like having a big mansion on the hill, dozens
of fancy cars, his own jet airplane, etc., etc. (you know, all
the stuff that keeps you humble LOL).
Anyway, I HATE this guys voice to begin with - it's like he's
got this forced rasp that's just way too raspy for my taste...
but now on this song, they take it even further - I swear
they're adding some kind of processing to make it even MORE
raspy on this cut. If you haven't heard it yet, check out the
link below & you can hear a clip (it's the last cut listed on
the page):

Gotta hand it to these guys for having at least three songs off
this album in solid rotation, but WTF is it with the ultra-rasp
on this tune??? Whaddya guys think?
