Kazmanian Devil Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I honestly don't get why people hate Nickelback so much.. is it solely because of Chad? I remember them being very popular in the early 2000's.. People who hate on Nickelback have only heard their radio songs. If you listen to their whole albums they tell a great story, full of emotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Who's coming with me, to kick a hole in the sky? I love the whiskey, let's drink that $&!# til it's dry.

This is what it's all about, no one can slow us down. We ain't gonna stop until the clock runs out. (Bottoms up) Hell can't handle all of us, so get your bottles up. Drinkin' every drop until it all runs out. 'Nother round, fill 'er up, hammer down, grab a cup, bottoms up! Ohhh, bottoms up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 How do they suck? They write songs about real issues, unlike all the lame pop artists out there today Yeah...that song "Rockstar" really speaks to me about that real life issue I had when I was a rockstar. And their other songs "someday", "What are you waiting for", "Saving me" etc...all remind me of other problems in my life and aren't just random pop/rock music words put together in sort of sentences...Plus they manage to do it all in the same 3 chords!

etsen3 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 How do they suck? They write songs about real issues, unlike all the lame pop artists out there today Possible trolling but they are basically a lame pop artist. Many of their songs follow the same formula (raunchy sex bangers like Something In Your Mouth or generic feel good vaguely "meaningful" songs like If Everyone Cared). Their song structure is very generic rock and not in a cool way. I do enjoy some of their songs, but I enjoy them on the level that they're meant to be enjoyed on. Which is driving around or getting smashed with your buddies, not sitting in your bedroom and analyzing the complex instrumentation and lyrics (except for some of their earlier work, which is less formulaic although not particularly groundbreaking). In terms of Canadian rock bands I would put others far ahead of them, Rush being at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo Neil Youngs best work is early work and more folky to folky rock. Considering some of his most famous songs were written as an 18-19 year old imo that puts him at the top of the list of best Canadian music artists. But ye as far as best Canadian rock band it's Rush followed by a series of empty space and then anyone else. Edit: In fact I'll go so far as to say that Neil Young ranks up with any music artist - the best of them: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeefcakeBo Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I remember a few years back the rock radio station in PG took several nickelback songs played them all back to back and then played them all simultaneously in one mashup. They all sounded like the exact same song. Like you almost couldn't tell they were playing multiple tracks at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
