They keep their noses clean, you never hear about any members of the band as tabloid fodder. No stints in rehab, jail, or previously deceased band members in their wake! They are not victims of their own success! I guess some moronic industry critics define success as the opposite of everything Nickelback epitomizes!
Not one lie in the whole damn comment!!! Jealousy from haters is just a good indication that they are all poor struggling and inept human beings…quite similar to a blow dryer in a swimming pool… Not losing sleep over this…they are the minority…. Pearl Jam and Chili Peppers? You my sir are a moron.
There is either an issue with you that you have not listened to any good music at all or you are tone deaf. An enormous list of bands that you must have not been exposed to.
Without going into great detail I will just leave one name. Chris Cornell. Nickelback has an awesome sound, a terrific look and boy could they play!!! They have the sound of classic rock with a slightly modern twist. What about Metallica, Creed…. Give it a break and sit back, pump up the volume and listen.
I think their music rocks and seen them in concert a couple of times. Awesome band. The hatred of Nickelback is more mob-mentality than logic or taste at this point. A bad song that made it big? Bad hair? They have some good songs. They have some bad songs.
The fake hatred of them is just stupid though. Highly agree. They are perfect after a way too late night at a bar or something. I know other bands fit this bill, they just happen to do it quite well. Lets make Nickelback great again. A great big Nickelback comeback. It will be BIG. Very big. And great. It will be a great, big, Nickelback comeback. And you know what? And it will be great. So great. We are going to make Nickelback great again.
Too many people are the bandwagon sort. The band is not bad at all. They have a lot of memorable music. People just like to get on board to hate. It is really sad. Throwing bottles and rocks is just pathetic.
Grown people acting like children throwing a tantrum. I dont hate this band, in fact, like a couple of their songs, but also dont love them. Its probobly the most white trash song played, since anything musical by Kid Rock. And, it got me thinking that thats why people may dislike them so much. Not really sure how, but they put off a real jerk face, white trash vibe sometimes.
Am i wrong. Actually, people who hate Nickleback jumped on a hate bandwagon. Rock is a genre that people like, just like rap. It is a genre that we still enjoy, just as people like classic elevator music.
It will be with us one hundred years from now. Rock stars of the past have done commercials. Nickleback is hated because there is a mass of people out there who enjoy hate. I like to hate. It feels good. Even more fun is when a hundred million people are on your side because all of the sudden your hate feels justified which feels really good because that makes you justified in your hate. As a rock enthusiast for many years, I still scratch my head at the Nickleback hate.
They were a good band. True, Photograph was overplayed, but they had other good songs. Anyone over the age of thirty who listens to Photograph is taken back to their past for a spell of reminiscing. If you think nostalgia is a do over of a long lost genre, then you are too young yet to understand.
Nostalgia is one of the most powerful drives in music. So go on and hate. I hate rap. I hate it with the deepness of the marrow in my bones. The anti-Nickelback memes are endless. Invoking their name is universal shorthand when you need to describe something awful.
Yet Nickelback is a more than competent rock band. Do they follow a certain formula for writing songs? Yes, but so do millions of other acts. Are some of their lyrics misogynistic and in poor taste? Certainly, but much less so than so many other acts cf. Did the band sometimes engage in some frat boy antics? Their music was so mainstream — so exquisitely ready for the CD buyers at Walmart — that it was beneath them. Therefore, the more successful the band became and the more radio airplay they got, the more they needed to be attacked and denigrated.
In the early s, the network ran a program called Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. In May , comedian Brian Posehn was asked to respond to the results of a study published on May 5 of that year that linked violent song lyrics to violent behaviour. Like, Nickelback makes me want to kill Nickelback.
Yes, Smash Mouth, Creed, Limp Bizkit, and Hoobastank were all painted with this brush, but no other band had a national comedy network hammering away with the message that they were awful. But I still needed to know more about the cause of this in my opinion disproportionate hate. So I sourced the crowd with a post on my website. CALE: I feel like they get all this shade thrown their way due to their ability to write catchy songs with a hook that sinks into your brain with what seems relative ease.
JOHN: This hate is one of the earliest cases of how internet mob mentality was manifested. With songs on high rotation on the radio, they became an easy target.
