April 7, 2003-Cobain and his fellow grunge frontmen are asked to comment on the fourth album by Nickelback, The Long Road. Layne Staley comments, "well, Jerry really likes them a lot. He often hangs out with Chad Kroeger, and he joined in on a show in Edmonton. Personally, I don't really get it, but that's Jerry's choice." Eddie Vedder shrugs about the band, saying "I can see why they've become extremely popular, especially since Creed broke up." Cobain states firmly, "I can see that they're very formulaic and pandering to the audiences."
