The Nickelback hate needs to stop.

Countdown to thread annihilation in 10...9...8...7........

Calling people ignorant for not liking that generic swill is ...well... ignorant.

Please, please, don't let this thread collapse. Thread of the year IMO. I haven't laughed this much at internet people, pretty much ever.:lol:

By the way, as a guy who's been digging on Rush for nearly 30 years, I'll be the first to admit that they HAVE, in the course of their career, released and performed some real doodoo.

But they've also released and performed a lot of absolutely amazing music.

Nickleback's catalog doesn't seem to be nearly as balanced.:lol:

I just have to say, of all the posts on this entertaining thread, that this one right here, has to go down as post of the year:

You can't force people to like what they dislike, no matter how much YOU like it.
Conversely, no one can force you to stop liking what you like, even if they think it sucks!

Like Nickleback does.

Tim

The subtlety.

The "Wait for it" without saying wait for it.

The, Did he just slip in what I think he slipped in?

The cleaning of the computer monitor and keyboard from all the Arizona Green Tea spewage.

And, he saved it for the end of the year!

Yep, POY

Nickleback's catalog doesn't seem to be nearly as balanced.:lol:

Nickelback? Take off eh. The only thing worse is Rush.

You gotta be kidding?? Seen both ... much respect this way. I bet you like Platinum Blonde! hehe Fighting words eh?? haha

I don't particularly like Rush, but they have a lot more going for them than Nickelback!

There's a piracy thread?!

(jumps into Batmobile)

That one was fun while it lasted.... But:

From the rules:
OFF LIMIT SUBJECTS:
Some subjects cause nothing but trouble, so no posting about:
1. Politics
2. Religion
3. Sex (including improper photos or videos)
4. Drugs - usage, laws, legality or paraphernalia
5. Current Wars or national disputes
6. Gun rights or politics
7. Pirated Music or downloads

Might I propose to the moderators a new Rule 8:
8. Nickelback

This thread is...AWESOME!

Helluva thread...

I must admit that I never heard anything that I could knowingly say was Nickleback, though I've heard a lot about them. So I went and listened on YouTube. The result?

Meh.

They don't sound like much of anything. I don't think they're bad, but I don't think they're anything worth a second listen. Plain, boring, uninteresting.

Is that ok with ya?

Lots of great opinions here, mostly from old stick in the muds!!!

SOmeone above was right, fancy ripping a young guys favourite band and being conceited enough to tell him to listen to old (and crappy) punk music...can you even remember what you thought of people who did that to you at that age...?

Sorry but to me Rush is far worse than Nickleback, While I don't "like" them I don't hate Nickleback and frankly i'm amazed there is such an intensity of feeling on the subject.

They are obviuosly doing something right the old rule "for each reaction there is an equal, opposite reaction". Which mwould imply that somewhere (though apparently not in this crusty old man demographic - me included) there ARE people who REALLY love them!!!!

A previous comment really struck home, something about not having had the experience of growing up with the same type of music for the past 30 years maybe makes them fresh to a young mind....?

Also, I can honestly say, thank god there is a succesfull and popular (somewhere) band currently playing guitar in a traditional rock format and not more Keisha, Gaga and all that crap.

I take Nickleback over P diddy, eminem,and rhianna crapola ANY DAY!!!

YMMV!!!

P.S Leave 3 Doors down out of this, I LIKE them!!

P.P.S Don't get too upset, as a 12 year old back in the day I also enjoyed Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Adam and the Ants and Devo too.... :lol:

Right. Especially if one or the other benefits your position at any given moment.
Au contraire -- my positions on Nickelback, Rush, and trolling are all quite consistent.

I grew up with Nickelback (I was about 14 when they started gaining popularity). If it's true that you needed to grow up with it to "get it" then I really hate to think how much more I would dislike them if I hadn't. :shock:

SOmeone above was right, fancy ripping a young guys favourite band
Did you miss the OP, Kiwi? This thread didn't happen because someone spontaneously decided to voice his negative opinion of Nickelback. It happened because the poor, mistreated young guy in question started a thread to call everyone who disliked a band he likes "a bunch of sorry sheep."

They are obviuosly doing something right the old rule "for each reaction there is an equal, opposite reaction". Which mwould imply that somewhere (though apparently not in this crusty old man demographic - me included) there ARE people who REALLY love them!!!!
So, if lots of people really dislike a thing, there must be lots of people who really love that thing? By that logic, there must also be lots of people in the world who really love head lice. :rolleyes:

Right. Especially if one or the other benefits your position at any given moment.

It's Drop D drivel that I'm pretty sure they used during water boarding sessions to get terrorists to tell us all they know. 19 pages of dislike can't be wrong but that's just my .05 cents & you can keep my nickel, I don't want it back.

There's something slightly embarrassing about middle aged posters telling a 16 year old he's not cool, and should be listening to obscure punk tracks from 30 years ago.

30 is middle aged?

2005 was 30 years ago?

Presumably so can be as cool, hip and happening as them?

UeS-Xb5u4-U

I liked that Dara O'Briain skit where he talks about how great it is to be old enough not to have to worry what music is "acceptable". Quote something like this:

"You know that sound going into your ears? The one you like and that makes you feel good?.. That's the wrong sound"

Keep thinking of Jeremy Clarkson.

FTR: what little I know of nickleback, they suck. But maybe they sound more original to someone who hasn't got 30 years of listening behind them.


Who the hell are you calling middle aged?

Our heroes are featured at 2:10 in this video. Bet you didn't know they recorded a track titled "Humpty Dumpty", but somehow it never got released. Until now:

Hey Tim: **idea**

A new thread with all the great links from this one, titled " Great Canadian Music 100% N****back Free- Guaranteed ".

I'll start...

Great Canadian Music 100% N****back Free- Guaranteed
Thread is hoppin'!

Part of growing up is learning how to stick by your beliefs and not let anyone sway your decision no matter how badly they decide to trash you for it.

But yes, this thread is funny. To be honest, I'm not about to argue with a bunch of people who won't listen and instead continue to be more immature than someone my age should be.

So I'll just kick back and let it go on..

Apparently, you also like to reframe your original attack as merely a defense of your own beliefs, and then you retreat into silence rather than answer for yourself, while letting go one last insult.
You must have grown up on the internet.

Someone get this kid some Black Flag, STAT.

Give it up guys. Positive vibes over here...

Somewhere within the vast, souless machinations of the Nickleback Team, suits are all giddy that there's been a 15% increase in youtube hits of the band.

Lol I was thinking the same thing! But yeah, Nickelback sucks, lets get this thread up past 500 posts so it's awesomeness can live on FOREVER! :mrgrin:

Funny, I just had a vague recollection of seeing a news clip back in 2000 or 2001 of Nickleback doing a sound check. The guy who's not Chad was in a widestance playing a really heavy doublestop powerchord thing on the one during a straight 4/4 drum breakdown. (I'm sure the diehard N****back fans will know which song it was.)
Anywhoose I distinctly remember him sporting a regular old ball cap. And...... a Tele!

And I thought, hmmm, cool.

The tele, I mean. Held my attention for a bit.

That's all for now.

I have been skipping over this thread since it appeared, I was afraid it would be boring and inane. Au contraire, the first 200 posts were epic with very little bashing, and it is always great to hear Sonic Reducer again.

I mix stadium sound in Detroit. I got to (had to) listen to 3 hours of Nickelback rehearsal (live voice over recorded track) for the Thanksgiving day game in Detroit, and again at halftime. The same track over and over. It was almost like listening to their CDs one after another.

I hate Nickelback more than the next guy. But you gotta admit, those bastards are hit making machines!!

Further reinforcing the fact that the cd buying publics taste is all in their mouth. Justin Bieber sells a lot too. Shudder....

Which tele pickups are best for nickelback?

Who'll stop first

Who'll stop first

Us or Nickleback? As long as their cd's sell, they ain't stoppin.

purple suede suits.
and matching hats.

nope

So Nickleback is like today's version of April Wine. Right?

Okay, I admit it:
I`ve been listening to a few songs from Nickelback yesterday. It seems to me that if you know one of their songs you know them all. It`s just the same stuff over and over and over again.
The good thing is you just need to learn the lyrics to one Nickelback song - they`ll fit for each of their songs.
They are a one-hit-wonder copying itself to this very day. I hope this procedure doesn`t become too much à la mode in the music BIZ. It just makes everything so boring and meaningless. :sad:

Who's nickel is back? How did they lose it? Who found it? Is it a valuable nickel? Just curious.

So Nickleback is like today's version of April Wine. Right?

Hey now!!! You can rag on Nickelback (and Rush) all you want but you leave April Wine outta this!!

Just to add some insight. Like N****back, I grew up in a small town in rural Alberta in the 80s. Classic rock on K97 was pretty much all that you could get. Headbangers and preps were the two fashion choices. Hard to be a skater/punk with gravel roads. "Country" consisted of line dancing to Cadillac Ranch or straight out Ukrainian polkas at a community center wedding. Good live music was really hard to come by. A public station called CKUA rocked my world with world music, reggae, jazz, big band stuff, but peer pressure forced most guitar based bands into metal-ish territory.

Product of their environment? Not that it's an excuse, but hopefully this offers an explanation.

Nickelback sucks but they don't suck as bad as Guns N' Roses. I'm old enough to remember when Guns N' Roses was popular the first time. A radio station in the Twin Cities played Paradise City before going to a commercial break and then again right after the break. Give me a freaking break. I was sick of them years before Nickelback ever formed.

I agree that GnR are very easy to get sick of (I stopped listening to them a long time ago), but I'd still say Nickelback are worse. At least GnR gave us some catchy riffs and guitar solos.

OK I gotta draw the line here. You can't lump Blink 182 and Greenday in with anybody else on this list, as they actually have great musicianship and really good songwriting. To the untrained ear, they might sound somewhat similar to something like Sum41 (although I can't imagine anyone who took the time to listen not being able to see an immediate difference). Heck, Travis Barker may very well be the best rock and roll drummer alive on this planet right now. As of late, he's also dipped deep into the jazz well, and the depth it's brought to his already CONSIDERABLE abilities is nothing short of stunning.

One man's Nickelback is another man's Blink-182...

Who am I kidding? Nickelback is terrible.

I actually bought a Nickelback album in grade school but what 10 year old can be held accountable for their choice in music?

I don't know that I've ever heard anything by Nickleback but after reading this thread I really can't see any reason why I should ever want to either. That's not hatred OP it's just plain old unvarnished apathy. Is that permitted?

You can't force people to like what they dislike, no matter how much YOU like it.
Conversely, no one can force you to stop liking what you like, even if they think it sucks!

Like Nickleback does.

Personally I like a few of Nickelback's songs, and they even make fun of their own infamy among hipsters in their "This Afternoon" video. There are a few artists that I think it's okay to hate. Nickelback isn't quite one of them. I think they're pretty solid, even if they don't do anything musically interesting.

Put a Brad Paisley lead in all of their songs and everyone on this board would be raving about how great Nickelback is. Because that would sound awesome.

I have heard the name, but never the music. Until now. Yuck, barf. This is some of the worst crap I have ever heard, and I have heard the Archies and the Partridge Family.

Honestly, i don't care if a band is a commercial cashcow, etc, etc., if i like how it sounds, i'll listen to it. If I don't, then i won't listen to it.

I don't really like Nickelback, so i don't listen to them, though it's not like I hate them. Honestly though, there's much more music I really dislike being played on the radio, and that's just the rock station.

Nickelback is like a vanilla milkshake that you get at Mickey D's, but without the vanilla... bland, no taste, forgettable...

Man, there's been some doozies here on the "Give your Nickel Back" tour, some of the funniest ****** I've seen in a long time (fave is the backwards Satan pic!). Really though, as boring as 5 Pennies Returned is, there are WORSE bands out there....

Agreed, they (Pop Punk band you mentioned) sound more like the Foo Fighters to me.

Ok now...what's the collective term for a group of people who hate Nickel Back?..

Hate of any kind is bad. Hate for Nickleback is the worst
kind of hate. They are just like you and I. Except they
are millionaires and bang hot supermodels.

I totally agree about Travis Barker, very solid drummer. However, I don't think Hoppus and Delonge are what I'd call 'great musicians.'

I think it's worth pointing out that the word "hate" was introduced in the original post by the original poster. It wasn't brought into this thread by anyone who dislikes Nickelback.

Not liking a band -- even expressing a strong dislike for a band -- does not rise to the level of hate. Unless we're willing to vastly devaluate the word, it doesn't fit the definition. It's just a bit of hyperbole that people on the Intarwebs sometimes resort to when they see other people knocking something they like. It would sound incredibly lame to say "Stop not liking what I like!" -- so, instead, people say "Stop the HATE!" :rolleyes:

I dislike their music as much as the next person, except Animals. That song is OK.

But they went up several notches in my book for having the balls to do this:

Jane, you ignorant slut. Nickleback sucks. They've perverted two American institutions: Rock'n'Roll and football.

Hey now!!! You can rag on Nickelback (and Rush) all you want but you leave April Wine outta this!!

I'll preface this by saying that I am half Canadian.

I can't say that I am really familiar with all of their work but I saw April Wine warm up for John Mayall way back when and it was generally pretty bad.Then they brought out this prop cannon (I think there was only on of them) and played Throw Down Your Guns complete with flash powder explosions from the cannon. When I saw the Stonehenge scene from Spinal Tap I always figured that is where they got the idea from. ROTFLMAO could have been coined that night as well.

I spent a month one night at a Nickleback show.

Nope. Paisley and Nickelback together would be a turd panini.

I will concede, Travis Barker is a monster drummer! He's got chops, and I give him lotsa props for that.

But I saw several bands back in the late 70's/80's that sounded identical to Blink 182/greenday. They basically copied what was hip a generation before. So I stand by my opinion that might not be shared by all.

Now it is confession time for me:

I like Creed. Mostly its Mark Tremonti's work I like Black Bird with Myles Kennedy even more.

So I got my asbestos undies on, fire at will.

But Nickleback is still far worse than Creed ever was.

PraiseCasters G1 using TDPRI App

well, when creed released their first album, my brother in law was nuts for it.
everytime we went to his house, he would put it on, and absolutely crank it.
he had invested a buttload of money in his stereo, and this was the album he chose to put it through its paces.
i remember he kept saying
"have you heard this"
then shoving the cd in my hands.
id be like "yeah mike, you showed it to me every week for the last 2 months."

so at least somebody i know (well knew, hes gone now) liked creed.

thankfully, ive never had anyone do that with a nickelback album. ever.
are they the kind of band that actually even sells cds?
i know they are all over the radio, and the tv, but dont think ive ever seen a cd in anyones collection.
of course, maybe its an age thing.

I hate haters...

I'm trying to think of at least 5 bands I dislike more or the same as Nickelback......Godsmack......Creed........that band with the song that goes "Can you take it all away, can you shove it in my face"....there must be others, but I haven't heard em yet...

Mayer. At least he's a good player.

John Mayer. Easy.

Say what you want about his singing voice and material; the kid can flat-out play.

What can I say? You brought it out in me.

If you ever see John Mayer live, you can't help but like what you hear. And the sea of women in the audience is nice too :)

If the thread about "What Music to Like?" goes in the "Music To Your Ears" sub-forum, then so should this one... IMHO.

I was just trying to show that there are some recording artists that TDPRI members hate even more than Nickelback. :grin:

Hating Nickelback is like hating rice pudding. Sure, it's bland and has no redeeming quality, but it's not as bad as brussel sprouts.

I kinda like rice pudding.

mmm rice pudding...

Maybe I should have said tapioca? :lol:

I think this thread has finally reached its "point of pointlessness," hasn't it?

We've come to the conclusion that the OP wants us all to stop bashing and start liking a band that he likes. One that sells a lot of CD's and makes a lot of money, but at the same time, is universally reviled and hated for producing mindless, stupid music that fits a formula and never seems to deviate from it.

BTW, just my two centavos, but I agree that Nickelback is a completely worthless band in every way, and the perpetrators should be shot at dawn for crimes to music.

Mods? Time to lock it up?

I think this thread has finally reached its "point of pointlessness," hasn't it.

Good, 'cause Bicklenack is more like pablum. In fact they use the word pablum over and over again in their songs.

Maybe I should have said tapioca? :lol:I like tapioca pudding, too. How about tofu? Bland, incredibly processed, no real flavor of its own, can be processed further in an attempt to give it a resemblance to something meaty but never really becomes anything other than more processed...

Nah; I actually don't mind tofu sometimes. That won't work.

Who is this Nickelback, anyway?

They rock.

You could say "poop sandwiches," and somebody somewhere would say "But I like those."

When I lived in Parksville, I went a couple of times to the chiropractor who is the brother of the guy that holds the guitar in Nickleback.
He was an OK spine cracker, so I didn't hold it against him.

Some people can't get past that vintage 80's look.

At the time this song came out, it packed the dance floors. This was good stuff in 1982. I'm sure you can find songs from every year that have not held up well over time, but that doesn't mean they were bad songs when they were released.

Haircut 100 rules! Why the hate?:lol:

Seriously, I agree.

I thought Nick Heyward was a decent sort, and his records never once made me flinch. Almost bought his records a number of times; I guess I had 2 at one time. I like stuff like this: Scritti Politti, Josef K, Thompson Twins, Orange Juice, Tears for Fears, Alphaville.

True story:

I've been a Bon Jovi fan since 7800 Farenheit. Just dig em. Never stopped digging 'em. Have yet to make it to a live show. A few years ago, the band had a contest where several bands battled it out for a chance to open for them at Citizen's Bank Park, home of my beloved Philadelphia Phillies. A good friend's battled their way to the top, and were voted into a 5-band showdown, where a panel of judges selected them band to open for Bon Jovi. I bought my ticket to the concert thinking "I get to see my friend play in front of tens of thousands of people. AND I get to see Bon Jovi!" This was an awesome turn of events.

After my friend's band and before Bon Jovi, Bon Jovi's special guest was slated to play. After my friend's band played, all I had to do was get through a set of Nickelback, and I would finally hear Bon Jovi in concert. Now, I didn't hate Nickelback, I just wasn't a fan. About 10 minutes into their set, I made for the gates. As I approached, a gate attendant mentioned that re-entry would not be permitted. I paused, maybe for a half-measure.

I really hope to see Bon Jovi in concert someday.

Oftentimes, when a whole lot of people dislike something you like, it is neither "hate" nor a case of jumping on a "bandwagon." Oftentimes, it's simply a matter of lots of people independently deciding they don't like a thing.

It's a sign of enlightenment when you can accept that lots of people dislike something you like -- without calling it "hate" or chalking it up to a herd mentality.

In this new year, I wish for you that little bit of enlightenment. :cool:

I agree. Seems like such an easy target, with no defenders present. Mirth abounding.
"No defenders present"? The thread was started by a guy who called people who dislike Nickelback "ignorant" and "a bunch of sorry sheep."

If that's not defending Nickelback, I don't know what is. If the OP and other defenders of Nickelback seem vastly outnumbered, well -- maybe that's because people who like Nickelback are vastly outnumbered by those who don't. And if it seems like those who don't like Nickelback are piling on, well -- maybe that's because people don't like being called ignorant sheep for the opinions they hold.

I'm glad I don't like Nickleback because if I liked them I would be a complete and utter Nickleback :mrgreen:

The Black Keys' Drummer Blames Death of Rock and Roll on Nickelback

http://www.guitarworld.com/black-keys-drummer-blames-death-rock-and-roll-nickelback

"Rock & roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world," said drummer Patrick Carney. “So they became OK with the idea that the biggest rock band in the world is always going to be **** – therefore you should never try to be the biggest rock band in the world. **** that! Rock & roll is the music I feel the most passionately about, and I don’t like to see it ****ing ruined and spoon-fed down our throats in this watered-down, post-grunge crap, horrendous ****. When people start lumping us into that kind of ****, it’s like, ‘**** you,’ honestly."

Saw this on CNN and today and thought of this thread!

http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/04/the-black-keys-nickelback-helping-to-kill-rock/?hpt=hp_bn4

Personally, Im all for the bashing of this "band", and Creed too. I know to each their own, and I try not to get into discussions like this..BUT..sometime I feel my opinion is warranted. And I stand by that :) And if you ask me why....All the songs sound the same. Not only do they sound the same, but they are all extrememly boring...cookie cutter, if you will. They do nothing to further the music spectrum or stimulate the mind musically or intellectually. They are an adult boy band.

If people want to be extremely close-minded and ignorant people that don't want to listen to what anyone else has to say, thats fine.

Im curious, how can people be close minded about something that is purely subjective. And if people dislike a band, that is their choice.

Now if someone was uneducated and did not understand talent or inspiration or originality then someone could gripe.

But in my firm opinion, Nickleback shows a complete lack of talent, originality, taste in inspiration in their own existance. They are the last of the Cobain era rip off artists in my opinion. Bands like them are a dime a dozen.

They are a perfect example of how the "biz" has watered down the airwaves. Every genre is now poluted with watered down pop versions of decent music...with a rare exception here and there. There is close to zero innovation on the radio anymore...wait...change that...the only innovation on the radio are the production companies that can manufacter bands and music to sell to the taste numb listeners. Those who would say that they love country music and buy every Taylor Swift single(not even the whole album) but reject EmmyLou, Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams, Nora Jones, ETC.

We have every right to refute the conventional tastes of pop culture...so keep up "the hate"

Well SOMEBODY must like them...

Why must they?

Sometimes everyone goes to a certain restaurant assuming everyone else in the party likes it. Eventually, everyone fesses up; that the only reason they tolerated the place was because they (incorrectly) assumed the others all liked it.

The less passionate a group is about food, the more this can happen. And. The same principle applies to music groups.
