Santana + Nickelback = GENIUS

I've been waiting for a power duo like this for much of my adult life. Santana is widely respected and recognized as one of the greatest guitar players around. He's teamed up with some musical legends and is still kickin' it after all these years.

I always thought there was something missing from Santan's career though. What was missing? The sweet melodic, yet gravely, tone of Chad Kroeger's voice!

Who's Chad Kroeger? You're kidding right? If you listen to pop radio you've no doubt been graced by the soothing sounds of one of the greatest bands of our, nay ANY, generation: Nickelback!

When Chad allowed Santana to play guitar with him for this song he knew he'd have to exclude the rest of his band. I mean you can only have so much rock in one song.

Without further delay, here's the latest single and soon to be greatest song on the Earth. It's "Into the Night" by Santana featuring Chad Kroeger, although for my money it should be labelled "powered and rocked out by Chad Kroeger with minimal help from some Spanish guy."

Some things to look for: Chad's sweet shades and the best lyrics I've ever heard: "Oh way oh, oh weey oh way." (Repeat several hundred times):




Some actual comments left on this video's YouTube page by adoring Nickelback fans:

"Chad have an awsome voice and santana is really talented in guitar"

"Awesome song and great video!"

"oh my god what an awesome song and the video too !! dem santana you the man"

"lol, Chad is good and so is Santana... together they are freakin awesome"

"1 of the best songs atm!"
