Mind you, I'm neutral about nickelback but to me they seem like the kind of band that people feel guilty about liking, due to so much hate around them. L'arc just doesn't seem like that kind of band to me.

When a fan can like or dislike equally stuff that their artist do and still support them, I believe that's the meaning of a real fan and not a 'momento fan'.
I may not like the idea of this tribute album or not feel motivated about it, but that doesn't mean that I'll stop following them and see what's next. After all this wasn't performed by them, but by other artists. Hence the word 'tribute'.

Extreme off-topic:

I actually love Nickelback's music...and I don't think that the world will plan to make my life miserable because of it. And it's the same when I say that I don't see Lady Gaga as something big, just a lucky person with catchy Madonna-like music.

I don't see the Gaga fans' tanks outside my house...so I think that I'm safe.
