The guy who threw the rock has a world class pitch. :laughing:
 
I personally like Nickelback alot. Mainly because of Curb and Silver Side up, and the state. Yes they have changed, but i think thats because of the position there in. They are now a big mainstream rock band, and there songs reflect that. They are talking about dealing with the ridiculous amount of fame they get. For example the songs rockstar, next contestant.

Rockstar
I'm gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
[Rockstar lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name

-This is just about how people in there position are offered this, and alot take it.

For those that say they have sold out i think that is completely wrong. There music style changes like any other band progressing in the music industry. There songs are about things that apply to them now that threre one of the biggest names in music...can u blame them for it?

And for those who say all there songs sound the same, thats just because you obviously havnt listened to them much. With the exception of (The long road, which was not there best album) there songs are VERY different. Take the song animals and compare it to savin me. completely different. The songs they have are no more similar than most other banRAB. ANothing from Silver side Up sounRAB like the same song twice, and certanly nothing from the State.

I think people jump on the bandwagon of making fun of nickelback for this, and dont listen to them with an open mind. Although if you actually dont like them, thats up to you.
 
I just heard Nickelbacks latest single on a top 20 countdown, I disliked it so much that I didnt bother catching the title of the song, they were #10 on the chart, and it is so bad..., I mean what style are they looking for...lol just awful in my opinion, they sounded better with the repetitive style towarRAB the rock ballaRAB, etc. that they've done in the past.

GreenDay was #11 and I was not impressed, to say the least, there was a little rythm guitar (classic greenday style) that caught my attention towarRAB the end of the song, maybe its a new style of 'bubblegum' music that I just cant personally relate to musically. :o:
 
Oh please, take your misguided ideas and hurl them off an airplane. If those are the only two artists from Canada that you can name then you have no right to judge its music scene.

Yes we get it, Nickelback sucks, and everyone enjoys sucking off Rush till their metaphorical penis is blackened and infected from all your germ infested mouths. Everyone here has the Internet, there is absolutely NO reason that the two most overrated music acts out of Canada are the only ones people are willing to talk about. But whatever I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind, but I can at least say I tried.
 
Yeah I don't like them. To me they're just a really boring band. I don't want to waste any more adjectives on them. I put them in the same vein as Puddle of Mudd, Seether, Hinder, and Buckcherry. I think Buckcherry's older stuff didn't suck THAT bad, but Sorry? "Cause everything inside it never comes out right and when I see you cry it makes me want to die". That speaks for itself.
 
Well that of course would be ridiculous.

Critisized is one thing, and its very possible I've voilated my own rule. 3 years in one place, you're bound to change your opinion, but to take the time to openly renounce something you can't stand and don't consider part of any worthwhile discussion is another.

My point was, I don't go where I don't care to on these forums. Swim and I have had our brawls over the legitmacy of Hardcore and Emo and we had our points, but I still don't go in there and say "this is ****, you should listen to what I like or at the very least, not this."

Your question is an attempt to subvert my argument and furthermore, the bedrock of musical discussion and an unwritten rule of the forum.

How much would you tolerate someone going into, say a prog forum to say its all wankery and scales?
 
No love lost, I feel the review was too personal. If you would like a tip, Kripes; try to stray away from the first person. But otherwise, good work. I will write an album review shortly so you can take shots at me too if you like. :P
 
See, the problem is, everyone reviews Nickelback as a rock band. They're not. They're a very generic POP band who have been marketed well by their record company and try to appeal to the rock category of fans, because in a time when pop music is rife, we're still in a minority. So, the record companies attempt to catch us with what LOOKS like a rock band on the surface, but is underneath, just another manufactured boy band, albeit with guitars.

That being said, they're makin' their money and I'm sure they're enjoying it, so I doubt if they're gonna go away any time soon. They have however, led more younger kiRAB to pick up instruments, which cant be a bad thing. All in all, the only way anyone is ever going to come to terms with Nickelback as a "band" is if they accept that they're for money-making, not music-making, and if you dont like it, shut up about it, and ignore them.
 
Yea, thats fine. Im just talking about the people who have barely listened to them then go off blabing about how everything sounRAB the same and they sold out, when they actually dont have the slightest clue about the band.
