It's even in the news how much people, even Canadians, hate Nickelback...I almost feel bad for liking their music. IMO there are A LOT worse bands out there. Hey, even Amy Winehouse, whose music was nothing less than revolting, doesn't seem to have the Hate Follwers Nickelback does. What am I missing?:confused:

Maybe the hating will end if they died?

A lot of it is because they make talentless generic radio music about partying, they also sound identical to their associated bands (theory of a deadman, default) we jokingly call them theory of a nickelfault. Now if this was all then meh but they take themselves way too seriously as 'artists'. They have a few songs I like to drink/party to though.

I like them, Im no music critic, I just listen to songs and either like them or dont, and I like allot of Nickelback songs.

Funny thing is, its cool to say you dont like them, but they sure as hell sell allot of albums.

Listen to the lyrics to the one playing on the radio now. My god do I need to say more. One more depending on a prayer And we all look away People pretending everywhere It's just another day
There's bullets flying through the air And they still carry on We watch it happen over there And then just turn it off
[Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]We must stand together [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]There's no giving in [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]Hand in hand forever [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]That's when we all win [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]That's, that's, that's when we all win That's, that's, that's when we all win
They tell us everything's alright And we just go along How can we fall asleep at night When something's clearly wrong
When we could feed a starving world With what we throw away But all we serve are empty words That always taste the same
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/when-we-stand-together-lyrics-nickelback.html ] [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]We must stand together [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]There's no giving in [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]Hand in hand forever [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]That's when we all win [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]That's, that's, that's when we all win That's, that's, that's when we all win
The right thing to guide us Is right here inside us No one can divide us When the Light is nearly on But just like a heartbeat The drumbeat carries on…
And the drumbeat carries on…
[Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]We must stand together [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]There's no giving in [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]Hand in hand forever [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]That's when we all win [Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah…]That's, that's, that's when we all win That's, that's, that's when we all win

Now take something from AC/DC like its a long way to the top (if you want to rock and roll)


[h=3]Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks[/h] [h=3]It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll[/h] [h=3]Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band[/h] [h=3]It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll [/h]
This has a story.
