Let's be honest - taking the p*ss out of Nickelback these days is like shooting fish in a barrel.
That didn't stop Royal Blood from doing so over the weekend, however. The English alt-rock duo took to Twitter to make a joke at the Canadian band's expense, making the rookie mistake of tagging them and assuming they wouldn't reply:
@realDonaldTrump + @HillaryClinton = @Nickelback 🇺🇸

The 'How You Remind Me' rockers - who played Dublin's 3Arena last night - weren't about to take such abuse sitting down, though, and returned with a pretty good comeback:
NIckelback jokes are like @royalblooduk, they were a lot cooler a couple years ago. 🇨🇦 Don't drink and tweet fellas. Stay safe. XO https://t.co/Gb1IizED4c

Ouch.
On an unrelated note, it seems that Chad Kroeger and co. enjoyed a few days off in Dublin before their gig, visiting the Teeling Distillery amongst other things:
So these guys kick ass. Great folks, tremendous whiskey. #TeelingWhiskey #DublinWhiskey #NBEurope2016 #NBDublin pic.twitter.com/KgUQVvTrdf
