[Hard Canadian]

i listen to a lot of hardcore & metal bands which could be why you guys haven't heard of them. i also like alot of underground music but to be honest i'm surprised some of you haven't heard of some of the bands in bold. i'm only 22 by the way so maybe that could be why? a younger hip fan?

[dreyfuss]

Nickleback - 15 minutes before walking away from them

I don't even remember when this was either, it was at an Edgefest and they were on the side stage, probably before their 2nd album came out.

[PRINCESS]

I've seen Neil Young!!!

However, I've also seen....

NKOTB (New Kids on the Block)
Celine Dion
Back Street Boys (twice)

Along with the more normal bands like

The hip (8 ) - I think

Ect. Ect. No way I can even name 1/3 of them.
