цитаты Чада

1  I’ll tell you this: I’ll never be in a van again. I’ll quit before I do that. You have no idea what it’s like unless you’ve done it. Pissing in a fucking bottle because you can’t afford to stop or you won’t make it to the next gig sucks. I’m not going to go out like that. When it’s over, it’s over. When people stop digging Nickelback, I’m not going to push it on them.”

2  “I want people to know we’re a rock band — not an alternative rock band, just a rock band  “We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel — we’re just putting our own spin on it.

3  It´s easy to hit the kid who´s standing on top of the hill. You´ve got this English rock magazine, they come to America and literally start an argument with us in the dressing room, so we knew this guy was gonna do everything he could to make us sound like the most horrible people on the planet.
And he did. And then after that they took a poll and called me the ugliest man in rock´n´roll.
My parents read that, my girlfriend read that. Nobody on the planet outside the UK knows who the f**k that magazine is until they take shots at the biggest star in the world at that time.
The next thing you know, everyone knows who that magazine is, and every interview I do I get asked about how I feel about being called the ugliest man on the planet.
That´s lovely, it feels really good.

4  Well, I'm from Alberta,
And I don't know how city kids deal with things, but when you talk s--- about somebody from a small town, they find you in a back alley and they deal with the situation. They beat the living piss out of you and then laugh at you the next day when you're seen around town all marked up.

5  Don't bother writing to impress other music geeks
Instead, try to get inside the head of the woman who packs your groceries because the mainstream market is made up of people like her.
"Listen to your friends when they say they really like a song, listen to them, don't say 'oh he's a welder or just an average guy, what does he know, he's not a musician.' If you want the big trophy you have to connect with the average person."

6  “From the bottom of my heart I want to thank all of you so much who have embraced everything we’ve done with Nickelback, this means a great deal to me.”

Record deal a shot at stardom for Norwood band - 06.08.09

Posted By GALEN EAGLE/Examiner Staff Writer
It was seconds into their acoustic set when record mogul Antonio “L.A.” Reid began humming their chorus.
Three songs later the three-time Grammy Award-winning American record executive said: “Yep, this is awesome. What do you guys need?”
Norwood’s Matt Walst laughs as he recounts his band’s recent trip to New York City, where his band My Darkest Days ended a whirlwind tour of the world’s biggest music labels with a record deal and a shot at stardom.
The band has just finalized a deal with Mercury Records, an offshoot of Island Def Jam, home to the likes of The Killers, Kanye West and Fall Out Boy.
Walst, the 26-year-old lead singer, founded the band with fellow Norwood friends Brendan McMillan (bass) and Doug Oliver (drums) about three years ago.
Winnipeg guitarist Paulo Neta has since joined the band, which now calls Toronto home.
It was 2003 when Walst watched his older brother Brad realize his dreams as member of Three Days Grace.
The band’s debut album plucked the group from the Peterborough limelight and launched it into international success.
Walst got his feet wet on that album, co-writing two songs.
Now he and his bandmates stand on the cusp of fame themselves.
“Seeing Three Days Grace coming out of Norwood and the area, it’s a one-in-a-million chance,” Walst said. “There are so many bands. You just have to write good music and do the right things to make it.”

Partnering with Canadian rock superstar Chad Kroeger has given My Darkest Days some heavyweight credit.
Walst met Nickelback’s lead singer through his brother about two years ago and was invited to the star’s Vancouver mansion.
“Going out there was … insane,” Walst said. “He has a gigantic mansion. He has a Lamborghini.”
Kroeger has helped the band develop five songs and will be producing its first album under the label, Walst said.
“Once we got working with Chad, it gave us a lot of hope and inspiration,” he said.
Walst wouldn’t say how much the band’s record deal was worth but said it was a “substantial amount.”
“It’s enough for us to live for a couple of years, enough to record a kick-ass album,” he said. “This is just the start for us, to get our name out there, have a label behind us pushing the music.”
The group plans to go back to Kroeger’s west-coast recording studio in September to finish its album.
It will follow the release with a tour, Walst said, adding he has the unique opportunity to learn from his big brother’s experience.
“He told me to just be smart about the decisions you make. When you’re playing tours be logical and keep your nose clean,” Walst said.
For someone who just a few years ago was attending Fleming College to become a customs agent, Walst is clearly enjoying the ride.
“It’s pretty crazy. Five years ago I never thought that we’d ever get the opportunity that we’ve got.”
