Burn! So, Nickelback are king of the comebacks with THIS snarky tweet

They may not be quite as popular as they were back in 2002, but it looks like Nickleback are up there with James Blunt when it comes to hitting back at online haters.

The Canadian rockers, who performed in Dublin over the weekend, decided they weren't going to take a particularly nasty dig from English duo, Royal Blood, lying down.

Dublin -we called you home for a few days (on break) & you treated us like family tonite. A thousand thanks wouldn't be enough. #NBDublin

And in fairness to them, it was a pretty slick comeback.

After the Brighton-based duo decided to compare the two American presidential candidates to the How You Remind Me crooners last Friday, the lads hit back and pretty much slayed.

Calling the lads out on their snarkiness, Chad and the crew replied: "NIckelback jokes are like @royalblooduk, they were a lot cooler a couple years ago. Don't drink and tweet fellas. Stay safe. XO" 

And it looks like Twitter users were on Nickelback's side when it came to this, with one writing: "THANKS GUYS BECAUSE INSULTING NICKELBACK IS HOW YOU RELEASE AN ALBUM."

"Maybe fist start selling an album or two before attacking another band. #Nickelback rocks btw…y'all dus suck #bye."
