Nickelback’s “Rattle The Cage” featuring Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5, has ruled the Billboard Canada’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart (dated 11/14) for seventeen weeks. It marks a major milestone for Nickelback and John 5 (his first Mainstream Rock #1). Black Keys currently hold the record at 19 weeks with “Fever.” “Rattle The Cage” originally topped the Billboard U.S. Mainstream Rock Airplay chart on September 26th. One week later, it got bounced from the #1 slot by “A Perfect Circle’s “Starless.” Rattle The Cage Sitting at #2 on Canada’s Mainstream Rock survey is “Beaches In Tennessee” by Cage The Elephant. The song’s lyrics reflect frontman Matt Shultz’s psychotic delusions caused by his prescription medication that resulted in nearly a three-month hospital stay and undergoing six months of outpatient treatment before his mental clarity returned. “This song for me symbolizes me finally being able to move past it. It was my attempt at reclaiming the ability to write about something serious that happened in my life, from a place of genuine experience,” notes Schultz. “Having gone through what I did, I’m grateful to have the perspective that I have now. The experience gave me a greater appreciation for my life when I came out on the other side.” Beaches In Tennessee Young Again A former #1, Shinedown’s “Young Again” holds the #3 spot. The track draws on frontman Brent Smith’s childhood in Knoxville, TN. “When we wrote it, the entire embodiment of the song is about nostalgia,” recalls Smith, who composed the track with bassist/producer Eric Bass. “That song is such a reflection of simpler times. (It) is about ‘not losing your inner kid’.” ### The post Nickelback’s “Rattle The Cage” Rules Canada… Cage The Elephant & Shinedown Follow appeared first on RockinTown.
