Captain Caveman Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Wouldn't it be sweet if they formed a rooster-rock super group call "NickelCreed". I would definitely go to the concert AND buy a t-shirt. I've been referring to them (and many other bands, come to think of it) as NickelMud for years.

muggins Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Detroit doesn't have enough homegrown music legends that they have to import crap from Canada? PTR I figure you already knew this, but Detroit has so many famous musicians, way too many to count. Odd they chose Nickelback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrojanitor Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Maybe the Occupy Wall Street People can get behind something that is actually important and make the world a better place. http://deadspin.com/5856056/detroit-lions-fans-are-next-to-spearhead-an-anti+nickelback-campaign http://www.change.org/petitions/the-detroit-lions-replace-nickelback-as-the-halftime-show-for-the-thanksgiving-game Hasn't Detroit suffered enough?

It's not like you didn't know that I said I love you and I swear I still do And it must have been so bad Cause livin' with me must have damn near killed you This is how you remind me of what I really am This is how you remind me of what I really am It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"

xsoldier54 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 really so wallstreet corps sending jobs to communist china and then selling us cheap communist crap back here is not important. You mean banks that knowingly and willingly traded debt and gambled on the USA's failure that received billions in TARP funds is not important to you. or maybe the fact that plenty of USA Wallstreet corps pay little to no taxes at all is not important... http://www.marketwatch.com/story/big-profits-zero-taxes-for-large-us-companies-2011-11-03 Ok... I guess we should give more subsidies to profitable oil corps, and more tax breaks to the wealthy.. That's going to ficx things now isn't it. I got a great idea why don't you keep you unintelligent political rants to yourself or a different forum instead of placing them here on a Bills forum like a far right wing douche. Why so serious????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I don’t care if it has become cliché. I still enjoy making fun of Nickelback. I guess it’s possible that there are bands out there who suck worse, but Nickelback IS terrible. I’m so glad that there is a movement out there to say no to dumb suckbag music like this.

I'd like to know who is still buying their albums?!? Here in Ottawa, they had a poll placed to vote on whether the new Nickelback song should be put into regular rotation. Overwhelmingly, the audience voted 'No' at an 80% to 20% clip. It resulted in the station manager chastising the audience for giving in to 'Nickelback hate' and not supporting a Canadian band. That resulted in the best 2 hours in radio history as the station was flooded with callers mocking the station manager and Nickelback. A great day in Canadian history...

Paul Westerberg, Bob Stinson, Tommy Stinson, Chris Mars (the mighty, mighty 'Mats). jw Thanks! I was kind of wondering what music to play when I get home. Every day after work, my 4 month old daughter and I listen to an album while we do some play time. It's been too long since I've listened to Tim.

Orton's Arm Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I think hating on Nickelback has jumped the shark. I hated them right away but now tha everyone hates them, I'm going to start enjoying them again. Please, man. Hold onto some shred of dignity. Not just for your own sake. But for all of us. If you must do something to degrade yourself, run around your neighborhood naked. Or arrive at a fancy restaurant wearing nothing but shorts and a smelly t-shirt filled with holes. But please, please do something less self-degrading than listening to--let alone enjoying--Nickelback! The thought of anyone enjoying that group is every bit as bad as the thought of someone enjoying a feces sandwich! Even New Kids on the Block wasn't as bad as Nickelback, and that's not a statement I ever thought I'd make about any other musical band. (Except for country singers, but that's different.)

Pete Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have stated it before and stand by my statement- Nickelback is by far the worst band I have ever heard in my life. That firework song by Katy Perry is the worst song I have ever heard- by someone other then nickelback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 A few years ago, I saw a side-by-side comparison of Nickelback's hit songs, and it was incredible how they all follow the exact same template. You mean this hilarious piece of video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
