There's gotta be somebody better than Nickelback

I'll never understand the contempt some people have for Nickelback.

This is the city that gave us Kid Rock - I think they can handle it.

I once went to a Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field where the halftime act was Vanessa Carlton. I have not been to one since.

fark the haters, Nickleback is farking awesome.
 
2011-11-02 09:25:23 PM
Normally I'd say fark the Lions but since Packers fans are going to be there I'll work with them on this one.

Look, the Lions obviously made a deal with someone for this season, this is the price. Suck it up and listen.

Also, Nickelback > Tebow.

Well, it is a group named after a football player position, so why not?

...at least it's not ICP.

Yeah, but we also got Jack White out of it.

Bob Seger would be a good choice.

The hate for Nickleback, lets put it this way.


If I want to listen to hard rock, I will listen to a hard rock station.
If I want to listen to, as my gramma calls is baboom baboom music, I will listen to a baboom baboom station.
If I want to listen to alt rock, I will listen to an alt rock station.
If I want to listen to pop, well I would probably shoot myself first but, I guess if for some reason that urge occurred I would listen to a pop station.


I more or less listen to a station because it is the genera I feel like listening to. When a band can kind of be put into all four of those categories but not really entirely into one of those categories it ends up getting played on multiple stations, this leads to two things happening.
1. A lot of people hear the song and hate it.
2. A lot of people hear the song and like it.


Rock people hate it because it is not really rock. It is wuss rock, it very basically sounds like rock but it is not rock.
Baboom Baboom people hate it because most of it lacks enough baboom baboom.
Alt rock people hate it, because it is both too much rock and too much pop.
Pop people hate it because it sounds like rock.

That is really basic in terms.


Or it could be that their old music was awesome, I have their first album actually. Now their music feels cheap and manufactured lacking feeling and the musical talent they showed in their early works. Now their music is so simple, repetitive, and lacking in feeling that while it is good the first time through by the second or third I feel like I have been listening to a broken record. And you can have simple songs and have them be good, and repetitive songs and they can be good, you can even lack feeling in your songs and still produce a good song, but when you smash the three together you are going to produce crap.

It feels like they got famous off talent then made a money grab not caring what happened afterwards.

To quote the Nickleback song I hear the most as one of the sad, sad WWE farkers

"That shiat makes me batshiat crazy"

Burn it to the Ground AKA Monday Night RAW theme.

Detroit should get KISS if they want lame rock at half time. At least Detroit Rock City would make some kind of sense.

/Or Eminem, Kid Rock, Motown or anything that isn't Nickleback

I'm pulling for a White Stripes surprise reunion

/csb: Meg White once bought me a beer when we beat her in darts
 
2011-11-02 10:38:08 PM
I forsee record sales of hot dogs, beer and concessions during half time...in fact it might restore Detroits economy....
 
2011-11-02 11:03:36 PM
Whenever someone asks me if I like Nickleback, I always reply "No, I'm not into country."
 
2011-11-02 11:34:54 PM
I am not a Nickleback fan but come on, they couldn't be worse than the Black Eyed Peas.
 
2011-11-02 11:36:58 PM
Matt Millen would've selected Great White.

Or you from and are actual Lions fans - we just haven't had anything to cheer for except Barry breaking for a random 80 yard dash that nets 20 yards. Go drown your Colorado tears in a glass of STFU.

your IQ is inversely proportional to the frequency of which you call people "haters."

also, you're a nickelback fan.

Is burning, spraying diarrhea that gets up the back of the toilet worse than the straining-to-breathe, haven't-sh*t-in-5-days razor brick that feels like giving birth to a Christmas ham sideways? That's basically what the entire history of philosophy has sought to answer.

I miss the games being somewhere relatively safe and fun. Like Pontiac.

I dunno.... the fact that they're immensely popular despite being incredibly and relentlessly average?

"the foursome is America's most popular foreign act since The Beatles"


I never considered Canada "foreign". I thought you had to cross an ocean to be considered foreign.

By the way, your joke would have worked a little better if the article was actually talking about the Superbowl.

Sorry they both kick ass. Go listen to Coldplay or something. Or better yet, whos the act for this years Superbowl? Madonna??? That will delight gay men everywhere. Forfeit your man card please.

Ah, Nickleback, the band praised as the "biggest band since Creed". If only they knew.

Scientific proof of why Nickelback is awful (new window)

/Case farking closed.

Considering this game had the Jonas Brothers doing the halftime show a couple of years ago Nickelback is sadly an improvement.

Please.

The worst thing you'll run into in/around Ford Field is drunk fans.

Winnipeg did it first. Also lol at the guy asking for someones "man card" because they don't like Kid Rock and Nickelback. I would like your ears card please
 
2011-11-03 12:00:22 PM
How about just ask for the local college marching bands? The big rock groups never give that good of a performance at football halftime shows (Prince excepted).

In fact, Nike should hand the NFL a fat check with a team of lawyers and PR people pre-prepared to fight any derp, and ask that the Stanford band perform a halftime show.
 
2011-11-03 05:34:37 PM
How bout AC/DC, Foreigner, or Van Halen?

Or if you want a modern rock band, I'd go with Airborne.

Just get us some rock and roll that isn't whiney and/or boring.

BEER_ME_in_CT: Sorry they both kick ass. Go listen to Coldplay or something.

I didn't criticize either. I like several songs by both - I just don't see much of a difference between the two. If you can support Kid Rock, you can listen to Nickelback.

/like Nickelback's cover of "Saturday Night's Alright" - it was the ESPN college football lead-in music for a couple years and it still reminds me of college football
//like Kid Rock's earlier stuff when it was all about talking about how badass he is

UNC_Samurai: How about just ask for the local college marching bands? The big rock groups never give that good of a performance at football halftime shows (Prince excepted).

Based on the Aziz Ansari bit about him, I really want R. Kelly to do a halftime show lol

That was at least amusing. Remember when Aikman was standing next to the brothers and just had the most contemptuous look on his face.
