    well musically speaking they really arnt that good of a band I mean their guitarist isnt worth a **** I know so many people in their teens that are way better than he is, he doesnt really DO anything, and they just capitolize on peoples emotions they just sing songs that make people remember sad times and stuff which everyone has felt so they win, their music isnt really original or anything and they dont seem to put much work into it, just a simple riff and some lyrics that sound like a 16yr old girl going through a breakup just wrote it
    Their songs kind sound line this ^

    I mainly hate them because their songs are so overplayed, and they just sound like ever other lame rock band out there.

    I think they are ok... My husband can't stand them thou. Working in Pro Audio, we both get a different view of the artists true talents. I think their good. Nothing wrong with them. But I do see something wrong with artists that SING and DANCE. Hey People, if have to play tracks on stage when your performing....... Maybe you shouldn't claim to be able to do this, since you really can't.

    You know alot of that show is the "Audio Technicians" doing their magic during the show. You know how many electronic devises that are used during a show? Tons..... Try unplugged, for artists true talents. Give me a harmonizer, a mic, a cute outfit.... Hey Im as good Britney Spears... Not... Haaah. I need the bod and the dance moves too. Haah. I think that band is fine. :smile:

    I was having problems with bad fatigue and motivation when my doctors discovered I had low testosterone. After weeks of testing with no idea why it had dropped to almost nothing, my doc began asking me about my personal life, hobbies, and activity. He finally figured out that the 15-20 minutes a day I spent in the car with my wife listening to her new Nickleback CD was destroying my testosterone output. He gave me a note ordering my wife to stop playing it around me or I would waste away to nothing.

    LMAO!!!!!

    Same reason they hate Rick Astley? I actually like him. :-)

    I think it's just something funny that people say. I bet a lot of the Nickelback haters have a secret room in their houses that is floor to ceiling posters and CDs of Nickelback. :laugh:

    Honestly, though, I never realized that band was anything more than a flash in the pan, one hit wonder type of thing until I started seeing all the Internet buzz.

    I love that one. I've seen it as "Things Rick Astley will never do:".

    before Nickleback, we had Creed

    but Creed was a little before internet trolls and Nickleback doesn't have the redeeming God factor to explain why anyone might ever be tempted to listen.

    I beg to differ. Nickelback's lead singer is the Blonde Jesus.

    I don't love Nickelback, but I can stand to listen to them. Creed won't get past the first note around me.

    Nickelback tickets go for $300 and I saw BB King for $50.

    Something ain't right there!

    I used to love Nickelback... but they sold out. They are all commercial and pop now. I think that is where most of the hate comes from.
