Yes, I know: the name is anathema to anyone who likes rock or heavy metal. But you know, I was thinking the other day that I've never actually heard much of Nickelback. I know their reputation: derivative, unimaginative, bland. But are they really as bad as all that? Do they have any songs that are decent?

You can find out by listening to one song by them. After that, you'll have heard everything they play.
 
Nickelback is the band that gave every other rock band that came after it permission to be horrible, especially Canadian bands. It's as if they said, "this is the new level of bad that music is allowed to be and still be marketable."

As well, the attitude of the band members themselves are terrible. A facebook group was started named "Can this pickle get more fans than Nickelback?". The pickle did, and rightfully so. Chad Kroeger went on a bit of a tirade, going on about how disrespectful their haters were being and how the band didn't deserve that. If they'd had a laugh at themselves, they're cool. But they didn't, so they're stuck-up douchebags.

And Jo, liking Nickelback and Metallica? Really? You gonna tell me you're into U2 and Coldplay next? :evileye:

I don't outright dislike Nickelback but they have several songs that are played incessantly on radio (of course it doesn't help our cause that it falls under "Canadian content" that MUST be played on our radio airwaves) but there are a couple of songs I don't mind and one I actually like. Now ask me if I enjoy their concerts and I can tell you without a doubt that I detest them...of course I haven't been to one as a fan (wouldn't pay money for many bands) but enough as security and it's a pain in the ass to work their shows. Kroeger is demanding but no more or less than other stars and musicians; GET WITH THE PROGRAM, WHEN YOU WANT THE TEMPERATURE IN THE BUILDING TO BE INCREASED 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THEN GO FUCK YOURSELF AND THERE'S YOUR INCREASE!
 
Nickelback kicks ass... yes they have some great songs...

Their concerts are amazing as well 🙂
 
iactuallyreallylikenickelback.

Fixed that for ya, because I feel the same way. I also like Metallica and some U2 and some Coldplay ('Yellow' was big when I was big with Rosie, love that song). Being an adult and having diverse tastes means you can enjoy many different things 🙂 I've heard the band members aren't the most easy going people, but I'm just listening to them while I workout, not having them over for high tea...
 
Every Nickelback song is a war crime.

Yeah, pretty much.

I don't really like U2. But I like a few Coldplay songs, sure.

I dunno. I like a lot of different music. But I've always been a fan of Nickelback. : )
 
Fuck Nickleback.......here's a REAL rock band:

Nickelback had a neat sound and catchy melodies when they first got big..... but all their songs are exactly the same. They suck because year after year, they release the same thing, and we're sick of it (especially Canadians, who have to hear them all the time because of Canadian content laws).
