The Black Keys' drummer Patrick Carney has issued an apology to Nickleback (well, sort of) for criticising them in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine earlier this year. Carney told the magazine that, "rock and roll is dying because people became okay with Nickleback being the biggest band in the world. So they became okay with the idea that the biggest rock band in the world is always going to be shit - therefore you should never try to be the biggest rock band in the world. F*ck that. Rock and roll is the music I feel most passionately about, and I don't like to see it f*cking ruined and spoon-fed down our throats in this watered-down, post-grunge crap, horrendous shit. When people start lumping us into that kind of shit, it's like, 'F*ck you', honestly."
