Nickleback love/hate
« on: March 03, 2010, 08:52:30 AM »
I am in the somewhere in the middle.  I am curious to hear why so many people hate them.  I can think of plenty of other musical acts that need hating on more than they do.  Someone please be splain' to me.  I love to hate but I just don't see it.

Does this have to do with them not being on the now defunk indie station?

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

I used to like them a lot. Don't know if I ever really got to love, but the radio stations sure did. They played the shit out of every song they had.

Pretty soon they all started to sound alike...the lyrics got silly and generic.
And I got sick of hearing that guy's voice, which to be fair, is good and pretty distinct.
I'm also sick of that guy's face....lead singers shouldn't look like that.

Close enough to hate.

A national championship is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it.

I can only deduce that this thread is talking about paying for something that costs twenty cents with a case quarter.


Get the hell off my lawn.


My kids do speak this "nickleback" phrase frequently. I'll have to investigate.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You might want to look into that Limp Bizkit the kids are raving about as well.

For the record, I hated Nickelback from day one.

I hated the whole genre. Puddle of Mudd, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Creed, Alterbridge, Three Days Grace, Smile Empty Soul, Crossfade...

They are all indestinguishable. I had a friend that was into those kinds of bands named Jason. I referred to the genre as Jason Rock.

Let's take a look at my tolerance for them vs. their singles (see chart attached below).

1. This is How You Remind Me - I could tolerate that. A cheesey cliche' generic rock ballad. But decent enough to not despise. Never wanted to buy their album or anything though.

2. Too Bad - I began to dislike them here. The song just grated on my nerves with its repetiveness

3. Two singles I don't remember "Never Again" and "Someday" - I may remember them if I look them up and listen to them, but I don't want to put myself through that kind of torture.

4. Figured You Out - This is the only point on the graph that is represented by a crest rather than a trough. The song was about doing cocaine and sexual abuse. Pass for this one, Nickelback.

5. Feelin' Way Too Damn Good - Another meh-inducing song.

6. Two more crap singles I don't remember "Because of You" and "See You At The Show" - See #3.

7. Photograph - The bomb goes off. It's pretty much fuck Nickelback from this point forward. I hated this goddman song.

8. More crap. I want nothing to do with any knowledge of what Nickelback is doing at this point. They have dipped even below the zero scale for me.

9. Rock Star - Chad Kroger must be killed. This has got to be the worst song ever recorded. If you hear the background vocalist add "I'll take the quesadilla" and you don't fill with rage right there, then you probably are one of the ingrates purchasing their albums.

10. Even more crap - Please make it stop

11. Something In Your Mouth - Christ, is this a stupid fucking song.

I present to you the Shakespearean Sonnet in its entirety.

Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
They say it's over budget, but you'd pay her just to touch it, come on!
Needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood had called her she'd be gone before you holler, come on!

Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along!

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb

You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

Crafty little lip tricks, tattoos on her left hip
She's bending as you're spending, there's no end to it, so baby come on!
Dressed up like a princess, betting that her skin smells
Better than the scent of every flower in the desert, come on!

Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along!

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb

You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

She loves the night scene, bar queen, just living for the fun
Taking over every dance floor like she's the only one
In the spotlight, all night, kissing everyone
And trying to look so innocent while sucking on her thumb

(So much cooler)
When you never pull it out
(So much cuter)
With something in your mouth!

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone!
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake that ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb

Let me put it this way.  Their music is bland, thoughtless shit.  Repeated over and over and over and over...

They make money off of people with no musical taste at all.

I can see that.  I apply that to many acts that hit mainstream radio and were in the play rotation every hour.  I guess I just never heard them that much but then I was on satellite radio and listen to very little new stuff in comparison.

I like all these bands, I think its a matter of taste. I like heavy guitars matched with screaming vocals.
I'm in between on Nickleback there cheezy but not bad enough to get rocks thrown at them.

Don't get me wrong, I like some heavy music.

I'm not saying I prefer Dave Matthews or any shit like that.

I'm just saying all of those bands try way too hard to be "edgy" but it's all radio garbage that sounds the exact fucking same. It's not "heavy guitars" the way they should be played. It's no Motorhead, for example. It's all brooding whiney bullshit. It's like "heavy" muzak.

This is likely to devolve into a music snob versus escapist debate....but...

Yes, commercialization is a bad, bad, bad thing for art.  New music (this will exclude AOR/Classic Rock) that is played on the radio is soulless garbage.  If your favorite artists are endorsed by Clear Channel and Cumulus (read: played on terrestrial radio), then you probably have bad taste in music.  That's ok...it's certainly your prerogative to like bad/disposable/fluff music, but a little self-reflection may be in order.

Art for mass consumption is lowest-common-denominator trash.  It's safe and non-threatening.  If old white men (CC/Cumulus) endorse your music and put it on the approved playlist, then it sure as fuck ain't rock and roll.

Fuck.  Even the Canadians couldn't find it in their loving, and thank you filled hearts to even let them talk about whales, stray moose, glaciers, snow capped mountains, flowing streams or even fucking hockey.   Chad's definitely a proud, calm, card carrying Candadian though.  He proved it when that rock cratered his cranium in Puerto Rico and only caused him to calmly ask if "anyone wanted to hear some rock-and-roll".  When hit with another boulder, causing a hair plume explosion, he took another sip of water, and walked off. 

So, it's official.  Canadians, Americans, and even rock starved Puerto Ricans hate Chad, and Nickelback.
