Post by Dabekk »

I'd never thought of that...

I guess they are kind of similar.

From what I remember of Heaven...I don't think so. I think I have to listen to them both consecutively though.

It's just the two of us
Another dissident
And a silver cross
Take back your evidence
And some strength you wouldn't believe
It has no power to deceive


Meh, maybe a little. They've got a similar beat to the verses, I guess.

I see limited similarities.......it is somewhat amusing though.

A lot of songs sound similar but arnt really sue-able.
for example, Vanilla Ice sounds a lot like Queen. But apparently not enough to have to pay for it. Isn't America great?!

...sorry I think I am bitter at Vanilla Ice for making millions of white boys everywhere think they were cool when rapping. *sigh*

Wow, I never even thought of that.

Heaven has got to be the most overplayed song ever :uh:

On our radio here, if I don't hear it at least once an hour, I start thinking something's wrong. :neutral:

No, "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down has the title of "Most Overplayed Song Ever". :lol: We even used to have a count of how many times we heard the song a day. Without even listening to the radio much, our counts got up into the teens. It was insane.

By the time current 3DD music is done getting major airplay, I strongly think "Here Without You" will out-play "Kryptonite". :nod:

100193283983% radio FRIENDLY.......they're so friendly that even the older decades of people like them. My mom liked a couple of their songs.

They're basically like Matchbox Twenty........Rob Thomas could write the SHITTIEST song (that'll NEVER happen though) and radio stations will still play it out.

I love you Neil. :lol:

LMAO, I died laughing when I saw this post cause Rob (core) said the exact same thing to me like a month ago. Still can't hear it.

And I'm sorry, but Nickelback is THE MOST OVERPLAYED band ever.

I am saying that Beyonce is over-played.

The other day I had one station on, and she came on. I changed the channel and a different song of hers was on another station. On to a third station and *poof* more beyonce!

This is when I turned the radio off.

I used to like Nickelback. Now I hate them. Radio overplayed them soooo much :nod:

Few of my friends are big fans of them. "They're such great performers" one said.

bah, a good band doesnt need pyro to put on a good show
