Toronto punks Billy Talent will go head-to-head with Alberta-raised rockers Nickelback over bragging rights to the most MuchMusic Video Award hardware on June 17.
Each band was accorded a lofty five nominations apiece on the 2007 MMVA nominees list, unveiled by the folks at Much headquarters yesterday.
*Stunned*
Some mistake, certainly, but over at much HQ..Nickelback are nominated as Favourite Canadian Group.
Now, certainly it could be argued that these awards are for music videos, but a key component of a music video is the musical aspect of the music video. Much had a golden opportunity to take the snuff out of this Creed derivative of Pearl Jam derivatives. They're a derivative of a derivative..which spawned a plethora of ass monkey bands that have really (really this time) killed commercial rock radio.
Anyways, the anger will subside eventually, so until then I need some Sneaker Pimps to calm me down:
take me down
6 underground
the ground beneath your feet
laid out low
nothing to go
nowhere a way to meet.
i've got a head full of drought
down here, so far off
losing out, round here
