Song: Too Bad - LIVE at Edmonton
Artist: Nickelback
Album: Silver Side Up
Tabber: Andy Conroy
Tuning: D-A-D-G-B-E
I am tired of seeing this song in some weird tuning with C as the bottom string.
I recently bought the Nickelback: Live at Home DVD and I watched Chad's fingers and
I realized that this song is NOT IN A DROP D+1 TUNING. It is only in a Drop D tuning.
If you don't believe me, watch the DVD and watch Chad and Ryan's fingers on Too Bad.

| This song is amazing. I saw Nickelback in concert when they were just barely heard of, and I remember them playing this song. One of my friends just recently killed another friend....the guy that shot him was my best friend's boyfriend. My boyfriend is in jail for being there...so when I hear this song I think about what they've done to ruin mine & megs lives...among so many more. It makes me think about how if that hadn't happened, we'd have so many more memories, but we'll never get the chance to expierence any of that. All because he fucking pussy to face the rough shit like a man. | |

| The video could probably be seen in most music stations, if you live in Canada, you could probably see it on MuchMusic, if in America more times than not you could probably catch it on MTV. It's a really good video, it's very different from the videos that are out now, and has meaning beneath the song, which is hard to find now adays with all the NSYNC crap being played. | |

| wow, duz this song hit hard, yah like all the typical stories it relates to my dad. When i wuz in second garde, a long time ago, bout 7 or 8 years my parents split. My dad had lived here for maybe a year not even and lived in an apartment near me. He then packed his bags and moved to california, mind you i live in massachusetts, with his brother. I saw him maybe once since then back in 4th grade for maybe 3 days if that. He never really did say goodbye, thats the sucky thing. My parents hate eachother with a passion, so she won't let me see him, she threatens me so i threaten her back to leave but she says i hafta wait til im 18 then i can do what i want to do. My dad is supposed to be gettin married and then im going to have 2 stepsisters. I think this is a shock, sum may say oo whoopey, but not my family we were always so perfect but now were not, i have grown up a rocky life with my brother as my father, and my mom as a naggin sister. He even forgot my birthday this past march, but i have made it this far and im not going to let him bring me down!! | |

| I can totally relate to this song. A lot of people can because it can apply to a lot of different situations, whether someone died, a mate left you, or your parents split on you. | |

| I heard an interview about this song. Chad refused to send the CD to his father because he was afraid of how he'd react to this song, but his father loved it apparently. It's sad..but yeah, a lot of people can relate to this. | |
