Nickelback

Post by teelow »

[color=green:2x0lhp6k]Now, this is my humble little opinion...but I ...I hate Nickelback. I myself am a fellow Albertan I feel proud that a band from a place like that got great success in the U.S. , but, you know how you listen to a song about 20 times, and it gets annoying? Well thats that "How you remind me" and "Too Bad" sounded like the first time. What do you all think?[/color:2x0lhp6k]

I don't get america's fasination with nickelback. Very unoriginal. I can't tell the difference between default and nickelback.

I didn't really like them either until I saw them live about a year ago...Then they seemed ok until silver side up, and then they were crap...but then I saw them live agian, and it was one of the best shows I've even seen.

so I guess it's like this:

Nickelback live --> good
Nickelback CDS --> bad

Nickelback was great until Silver Side Up. It wasent the worst CD ever, but it paled in comparison to The state. I rated them good because I have seen them in concert 3 times, and they keep getting better.

I personally can't stand "How You Remind Me" - it's been played far too much recently.

I watched MTV Diary yesterday with Nickelback, they didn't impress me. They were just trying to prove how famous they were by proudly telling about getting free drinks in bars and getting people to do stupid things for a couple of thousand bucks.

I really enjoyed nickelback first cd, but their new one sucks in my opinion, and americans are fasination with nickelback is that we hear one song we like and then decide to burn it to the ground by playing it 500 billion times. Plus their new album sounds like a cheezy pearl jam rip off.

The only thing i enjoy about nickelback right now is that they hate matthew good too.
