Do any of the prominent Canadian rock bands/artists have noted hockey affiliations?

[Dicky113]

No idea, but Kingston is Leaf country for the most part.

This is soo wrong, Kingston is very much Bruins country dating back to when Kingston were affiliated with the bruins. That is why sinden, Cherry and a bunch of Others were bruin faithful.

 

[RegDunlop]

Skid rows lead singers brother played goal in the NHL.

Sebastian Bach?

 

[Pucklington]

Sebastian Bach?

Yes. As a previous poster mentioned, Zach Bierk is his brother.

 

[thewall]

Sebastian Bach?

Yeah but bach is not is real name. Its bierk. Zach was an nhl goalie, i know her sister is somewhat famous too. An artist or paintor if i can recall and zack was a goalie for the Petes then played a few years in the NHL

 

[Ana Crusis]

Zac bierk. He was 18 and wild

 

[RegDunlop]

Thanks all.
I knew his last name but not about his brother

Local indie folk musician Dan Bergesma occasionally follows the Oilers when happy hour is on. Yes, THE Daniel Bergesma.

I lived in Kingston for five years and it’s not what it was.

I guess you don't know good rock.
3 days Grace....
14 No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and three No. 1 hits on Alternative Songs.

Just shows you the sorry state the music industry is in when such a shitty band has that kind of success.

I've been in Chad's house (back before the Abby mansion just as he was starting to rake it in) and he had an Scatchard Islander jersey in his closet... a couple more too I think. I think I remember hearing that they were good buds.

I read an interview and I don't feel like tracking down the link but Chad said they were Calgary fans in the 80's but it was hard not to cheer for the Oilers dynasty at times.

Edit: he was born in '74 so maybe it was just a childhood thing.

I do know that Anne Murray is a Leafs fan. She actually called into Leafs Lunch (a radio show on TSN) a few yours ago to talk about the Leafs.

[Jyrki Lumme]

ITT Grandpas talk about bands from the Stoneage

 

[Pyrophorus]

Zac Bierk.

They could say the same about Oshawa.
The Gens used and offshoot of the B's logo, and Orr was a Gen.
I heard they were kind of the Jr. team for the B's

Its the word going around among some parties.

 

[Pocket Hercules]

Chris Jericho is a Rangers fan because his dad played for them

Not a Jets fan, but Jericho has a tattoo of the Jets logo as part of his sleeve.

 

[sharkhawk]

Another thread where people can't distinguish real fans between people being paid for publicity? lol

But he wore a (fill in the blank) jersey when he was at our home arena

 

[The Nuge]

Sebastian Bach, who was the lead singer of Skid Row during their golden years, is the brother of former Lightning/Wild/Coyotes goaltender Zac Bierk.

That’s really cool! I didn’t know that

Kevin Smith is also a Jersey/Oilers fan.

Smith is a lot of things, but he’s not a musician. If you’re not talking musicians, there’s countless people to name (eg GSP is an Oilers fan, Lesnar is a Jets fan, etc)

There hasn't been a good rock act out of Canada since Rush.

wrong. if you mean get big elsewhere then you're close but still not quite. we can help it if the USA and other places like our garbage. Quality gets pushed to the side stateside.

 

[JJ68]

I remember when people said the same crap about Nickleback before they were mainstream

nobody ever said nickelback were good.

f***ed up is a pretty good band too

 

[JJ68]

50 Mission Cap is still a great story, but what about the other members of the band?

Langlois is a Habs fan, I think the others may be Leafs fans.

I dont think thats a band that is very good. It fits the mold americans like to listen to is all. Which again, when you look at what rules in america...not very good.

 

[Yarbles02]

July Talk are oilers fans.

 

[Bank Shot]

nobody ever said nickelback were good.

****ed up is a pretty good band too

Everyone loved Nickleback when they were coming up.

 

[Choralone]

I'm positive Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly, Delirium, and a million other side projects and collaborations said in an interview he was a Canucks fan.

 

[Calgarybrutalist]

Tegan & Sara are flames fans
