How friggin' AWFUL is Nickelback?
Here's how AWFUL Nickelback is to me:

I would rather be submerged in the piss, shit, and vomit of a morbidly obese murderer who'd eaten nothing but macaroni and Velveeta mixed with okra and refried beans for the last six weeks while having razor blades run across my corneas than listen to one note more of Nickelback's putrid ouevre.

Just. Fucking. Awful.

Somebody make them stop, for God's sake.

2. It's a group of men masquarading as musicians
You might know them from their truly horrendous "Hero,: which was the featured song in the first Spiderman, or from their unspeakably noxious "Photograph," the so-called "lyrics" of which begin "Look at this photograph/ Everytime I do it makes me laugh" - a song that truly displays the sucking hole of culture. Blech.

27. "Photograph" really is the worst song ever.
Edited on Sun Nov-27-05 07:04 AM by BlueIris
If there is a somehow an extant song that is more repugnant, I don't know what it is.

49. WHAT? No. NO, YOU'RE LYING!!!
Please tell me you're lying. It's inconceivable to me that there's a worse song.

You're just a cold hearted bastard. :cry:

19. Yup, it's easy listening music marketed as heavy metal.
Every time I hear Nickelback being called heavy metal I just want to go postal. The people who have called them heavy metal have obviously never heard the likes of Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Tool, or Iron Maiden. To have that bunch of posers (Nickelback) being lumped into my favorite genre of music makes me want to... :puke: :puke: :puke:

38. I just never remember the Sex Pistols
singing about breaking up with their girlfriends. She's Britney Spears with guitars! I can't be the only one to see that. Sorry, rant over.

7. Not nearly as awful as Hoobastank, Switchfoot, that band that sounds like
the GooGoo Dolls....and of course the kings of suck, Creed.


Their "music" is just so, so awful.

And that's all I want to say about it.

And Nickleback is like a 5th rate Creed ripoff.

11. Lifehouse ! Which should tell you how good they are--I just googled them.
Edited on Sat Nov-26-05 02:06 PM by tjdee
I kept hearing this lame song.... I thought it was Goo Goo Dolls, it's some "band" named Lifehouse, I just checked.

If you think you can handle that level of cool, you can catch the vid here:
http://www.lifehousemusic.com/downloads/default.asp

allow me to introduce you to the first verse and chorus of "You and Me":

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause there's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

But they don't have the inherent arrogance or douchebaggery that Nickelback does.

14. True...after watching the vid I felt kind of bad for saying they sucked!
I'd only heard the song on the radio.

That poor kid seems so earnest about his lame song....

but Hoobastank, definitely, definitely sucktown.

Of course, they are no Nickelback.

10. some crazy middle aged sex crased woman in line at best buy...
yesterday kept hitting on the poor person in the stereo department who was playing, surprisingly good music (depeche mode, new order, etc...) she kept trying to look hip and sexy by asking for him to play some nickelback.

the guy was just like "i have to work here, i really don't want to listen to nickelback." i just started laughing at the response, she shot me the look of death, then i exclaimed loudly "i'd rather choke on shit listen to nickelback." the poor employee approved. as depeche mode's new album continued to play on.

16. I mess with those guys by telling them how many times I
saw the Ramones. They start hyperventilating. It's kind of funny. (either that of they are really humoring me)

Don't really understand the attraction of Nickleback. Of course almost anything would be better in there than some of the dreck that is currently played on mainstream radio.

I'd be afraid to use it ever again for fear of it contaminating future songs with suck.

28. They suck something awful,
just like Puddle of Mud, Incubus, Seether, etc. I can't tell them apart. The music on the radio today just blows so bad, I usually listen to the tires hitting the road instead of the radio when I am in the car.

They're just a 5th Creep rip-off.

You guys should be thankful you haven't gotten Theory of a Dead Man yet. 10th rate Nickelback ripoff.

37. They make me grateful that I walk to work and don't listen to commercial
radio.

Thanks Nickelback!

Seriously there is SO much pop music that sucks that it must be a conspiracy of some sort.

They intentionally misuse genre names and the end result is the mundane crap shack which is our music industry.

Fuckers.

Edited on Sun Nov-27-05 05:22 PM by Kire
It was definitely a bad review, but I don't think it's possible to be scathing enough. Hardcore Ink, Issue 14, Comes out December 20.

They don't have a web site, but their MySpace profile is:

They're terrible.

I have a friend who was so excited to see them in concert last summer. He couldn't beleive I didn't like them. I feel bad for this pal of mine because he is such a mark for corporate advertising.

But I stand by him in friendship. God knows why.
