Nickelback rocks for Imran Khan's Pakistan 'Revolution'

Canadian rock band Nickelback's rising rock single "Edge of a Revolution" is making an impact across the globe.

The Wayne Isham-helmed clip features video footage from cultural and political protests around the world, along with the four members of the band.

Along with Egypt's Arab Spring and the Occupy movement it also features a short clip of Imran Khan led Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) rally in Islamabad.

The brief clip from the PTI rally shows red and green party flags along with a poster of PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

Nickelback released on Friday the full music video for its latest politically-themed single "Edge of a Revolution".

Nickelback continues the theme of rebellion and dissent with the visual treatment for the song, combining arresting scenes of soldiers, protests, and a classroom full of children being fed messages of conformity...that they ultimately decide to reject in favor of much-needed change.

The band performs in a dark classroom as filmed images are projected on a screen behind the musicians.

While the single was released on August 18 as part of the band’s upcoming album No Fixed Address, the full video was released Friday.

It's been three years since their last album.

PAKISTAN PROTEST:

Pakistan's protest leaders demanding Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's resignation prepared to resume talks with the government, reviving hopes for a negotiated solution to a crisis that has shaken the coup-prone nation.

Protests turned deadly last weekend, with thousands trying to storm Sharif's house, in an outburst of violence which has prompted fears that the country's powerful army might intervene and even topple Sharif.

But by last Wednesday tension has significantly eased, with only a couple of thousand of hard-core supporters camping out peacefully outside parliament in the high-security Red Zone area in the center of the capital, Islamabad.

After weeks of deadlock, early signs have emerged that protest leaders Imran Khan, a former cricket star, and Tahir ul-Qadri, a firebrand Sufi cleric, were inching closer to trying to find a negotiated solution to end the confrontation.
