3 DOORS DOWN STILL SORE AT NICKELBACK?

3 Doors Down are set to release their first album with new drummer, Greg Upchurch, but are they still sore at Nickelback for stealing their old one?

Could 3 Doors Down still be sore at Nickelback? 3 Doors Down is currently prepping the release of their new self-titled album, and it’s their first with drummer Greg Upchurch. Upchurch, who was with Puddle Of Mudd, replaced Daniel Adair, who Nickelback had “stolen” from 3 Doors Down after their tour together a few years back.

3 Doors Down was not happy with the situation at the time, and we asked vocalist Brad Arnold and guitarist Matt Roberts if they’re still angry at Nickelback.

[Arnold] “You know what? Honestly, since the last time we’ve spoken, we haven’t spoken to them. I haven’t talked to those guys in…” [Roberts] “Obviously we’re thankful to have Greg. It’s water under the bridge, and it worked out for the best because we’ve got a better drummer. It just really worked out, and it’s like, ‘whatever.’ We’ve moved on and we’re a better band for what’s happened. So, we’re thankful.”

3 Doors Down’s self-titled album will hit stores May 20, and they’ve already hit the road to get people amped up for the new album. It features the smash single “It’s Not My Time,” and dates in the U.S. are currently booked through May 24. The band will play the U.K. in late May, early June. Check 3doorsdown.com for more details.
