Just once I'd like to hear an Irish punk band cover the bigger hits from NB just to see if it's the song or the band that sucks.

/thinks Burn It Down would be awesome if the Dropkick Murphys covered it

Nickelback responds, "OH MY GOD! SOMEBODY FAMOUS MENTIONED OUR NAME!"

Nickleback hate thread?

I'm going to throw in what I always ask. Why does Nickelback get the hate and ACDC all the love? Nickleback's music is way more diverse, and the lead singer does not sound like a cat being beaten.

Not a Nickelback fan.

OOh, edgy. Making fun of Nickelback is tired. Yes, they play mediocre corporate butt rock. So what. All the second generation corporate grunge bands in the mid to late 90's were no better. Bush, Seven Mary Three, Puddle of Mudd. All mediocre corporate butt rock. I think we should be turning our hatred towards the likes of that piece of shiat group LMFAO.

That's a 796 character article on something that originally only had 202 characters worth of content.

If you're a journalist and you write an article who's content is entirely twitter posts, then you are pathetic and a whore...and honestly, you know you're pathetic and a whore.

Haters gonna Hate the same tune being used again and again.

/they're hardly the first band to do this - Aerosmith, ACDC, Black Eyed Peas come immediately to mind
//and common - rock star's lyrics are hillarious the first time you hear them

I can take 1 ACDC song at a time. I just don't find Nickleback enjoyable.

/thinks Burn It Down would be awesome if the Dropkick Murphys covered it

Everything would be awesome covered by Dropkick.

I dislike them but don't hate them. To me they are the modern version of Loverboy.

How can the members of Nickleback sleep at night?

On top of piles of money, with many beautiful women.

:(

TravisBickle62: I dislike them but don't hate them. To me they are the modern version of Loverboy.

Oh BURRRN!

Would you prefer "I'm rich biatch!!" as a response subby?

Because it'd be just as accurate.

Get back to your day job ya jealous weenie.

/don't own any of their albums

TravisBickle62: I dislike them but don't hate them. To me they are the modern version of Loverboy.

That means that they must have an American equivalent.

Loverboy is to Foreigner as Nickeback is to _____.

Lego_Addict: Nickelback is certainly no Sheep Dogs or Black Keys but they are succcessful and that's what gets them a ton of pussy.

Pretty sure the money gets them a ton of pussy.

MoronLessOff: Smeggy Smurf:

Also this.

I was reading in another thread that they are called the Bligh Keys.

/that's what I heard!

Journey?

MoronLessOff:

Hell yes. They need to cover some Elvis Costello tracks.

Spade: Lego_Addict: Nickelback is certainly no Sheep Dogs or Black Keys but they are succcessful and that's what gets them a ton of pussy.

I am prretty sure just holding the instruments and not being completely butt ugly would get them that.

Toto > Loverboy > Foreigner

What are the Black Keys and why should I particularly care about them any more than I care about Nickelback?

Scratch that, I just looked them up on wikipedia and Youtube. As I suspected, they have no room to throw stones on anyone's music being generic, corporate, or sell-out-ish.

Jake Havechek: Toto > Loverboy > Foreigner



No one travels from the Moon to get the belt of Toto.

And Loverboy has always sucked...

Lego_Addict: Nickelback is certainly no Sheep Dogs

Ahh the Guess TWho Thousand Eleven Turner Overdrive.

Nickelback has the one thing liberals hate.....success. Then they want me to subsidize them with my hard-earned wages, no thanks

Good on them. I liked the funny or die skit with them before that Detroit Lions halftime show. At least they have a sense humor about the whole "we suck" thing

Yeah, Loverboy has always sucked, but that "Africa" song that was on the radio a lot was pretty good.

Rock and Roll isn't dying. What a dopey statement. You just have to look outside of the Top 40 for it. That's a good thing.

Also, what's wrong with Nickelback? Don't like it? Don't listen to it. Life is hard. If listening to Nickelback helps people stave off existential torment, more power to them.

Toto, Loverboy, Journey and Foreigner were always big with the 80s roller rink DJs.

"couples only! couples only!"

Relax - art will always make fun of its commercially viable equivalent.

Plus, nb REEEALLY blows. So, it's all okay.

Yeah, nobody can have a negative opinion of something unless it's fueled by jealousy. Right. Dumbass.

TenaciousP: I can't throw a rock without hitting an incredibly talented, yet poor and unknown musician. The music industry is just that...an industry.

Simple solution would be to stop throwing rocks, no? it's not bad enough that they're poor but now they're being pelted with rocks too.

What do you guys do with the untalented musicians?

I noticed that "Don't Stop Believing" still gets a lot of radio play too

PSA: If you get an email with a link directing you to a sample of the new Nickelback song DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY! It leads to a sample of the new Nickelback song.

Lego_Addict: Nickelback is certainly no Sheep Dogs

This is a discussion about rock music, not rap (or hippy-hop, or whatever they're calling it nowadays).

Funny how the Journey "blast from the past" tune Any Way You Want It was suddenly replaced by that when the Sopranos ended......

Nickelback does blow. And The Black Keys are hipster pap.

If someone likes nickelback, what do you guys care?

Nickelback is indisputably the most successful boy band of the 21st century.

Haters gonna hate.

Magnetar: Nickelback does blow. And The Black Keys are hipster pap.

Hipster rap?

Every time I use a urinal with the "TOTO" brand name, I immediately get that damn song stuck in my head.

Could everyone saying that Nickleback is just like AC/DC send me their address? I'm going to come over and beat you senseless.

//seriously though, come one

"Carney told Rolling Stone, "Rock & roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world."

a) Nickelback is forgettable, sure. They write formulaic, predictable, boring rock, just like Def Leppard did for most of their career. However, the band writes their own music, plays their own instruments, thus making them far more deserving than a truckload of other 'artists' in the industry. If you're going to biatch about the state of rock, pick a better angst target.

b) Rock isn't dying, numbskull. If you're overly concerned with who's in the top 40, you're doing it wrong to begin with.

Good point. I concede that you can have a negative opinion of something without being jealous.

Vehement hate has to come from somwhere however. Fark has lot's of it.

TravisBickle62: I dislike them but don't hate them. To me they are the modern version of Loverboy.

I'm thinking they're more like an updated Bon Jovi, i.e. pop singers dressed like a "hard rock" band (whatever that means).

Farking Canuck: I was reading in another thread that they are called the Bligh Keys.

/that's what I heard!


Most of the time they are called African American Keys

Def Leppard is nothing like Nickelback. DL had a unique sound. They had neat riffs. Does NB even have anything like "Women" or "Rocket"?

NB always sounds the same. They use the same three chords on all their songs.
