1. ROBIN LEBEAU SAID...
I watched the AMA's last night and saw NickelBack and they did a good job of representing and I watched the whole. Dark Horse sounds better through headphones and stereo speakers so crank it up which I do in the car. It's a good cd. Thankyou NickelBack.
I'll always be your fan.
