Nickelback: "Animals" isn't for kids

Nickelback have gotten so popular over the last few years that the band is starting to attract younger and younger fans. But frontman and main songwriter Chad Kroeger told us that the band's new single, "Animals," isn't exactly material for the grade school set:

A good friend of mine has got some young kids, ten or eleven, and they're like, 'Dad, what's the song about?' (laughs) You know, he's like, 'That's when I had to start throwing out, hey, who wants ice cream?' We do have a lot of young fans. I don't keep them in mind when I'm necessarily writing the material, but it's cool that they're there."

"Animals" is the second single from Nickelback's fifth album, All The Right Reasons, which has already sold well over a million copies since its early October release.

Nickelback will begin a US tour on January 30th in Duluth, Minnesota, with Trapt along as special guests. The trek is expected to last well into March.
