  • Nickelback Rock??? I don't think so. LOL
    But, having said that, I don't turn the station when they come on and actually like a couple of their songs.
    But rock, they are not!!

    NIckelback and rock should never be used in the same sentence.

    Nickelback ROCKS! I reference "Breathe.'

    Come at me, bro. :-P
    Rock is anti-establishment and against the grain. Nickleback is the establishment........and the sandpaper

    ACDC is also quite mainstream and reserved...

    I don't want to sound like a jerk or like I'm bashing anyone who likes them, because I know music is completely subjective to the listener and I respect peoples preferences in any type of entertainment... I just like bands that have a little substance to them and/or technical ability. Take a band like Alter Bridge. Myles Kennedy is a lyrical poet and Mark Tremonti can outplay any guitarist in mainstream rock, yet they are one of the most underrated bands in the last decade. Alot of people know about them, but they choose to stay *sort of* under the radar because they want to focus on the artistic and expressive side of their music, instead of on writing catchy radio hits that will make the girls melt. I saw an interview once where Alter Bridge stated that they would rather play to a club with 500 people than to play an arena with 10,000 people. Intimacy and a connection to the crowd is so much more intense with a smaller crowd.

    I went through an AC/DC phase, then I turned 14 and they were just old news.

    Nickelback is not music. It is a corporate-engineered monstrosity designed to appeal to those who don't like music or have rock-bottom standards.

    And Canada.

    My opinion too. Most country music is designed to make people cry.

    all any of us half *kitten* rock fans ever care about anyway are the ballads and "sell out" songs anyway, so I think what they come up with is quite brilliant.

    <<<< NOT, a half *kitten* rock fan, so no. I get why Nickleback is popular, but I prefer the room full of hammers option mentioned in the newpaper clip someone posted.

    Classic country, yes. New country also makes people cry, but for the wrong reason...mostly because it is somehow still labeled country...There is definitely a tear in my beer just thinking about it.

  • They do their thing well, and sell it well also. So props for that. I just don't like the thing that they do. I really distaste mainstream modern rock for the most part. It's all so similar, especially vocally, and extremely uninteresting musically. I know your average joe doesn't listen to music as art, but I just like something deeper. If not musically, lyrically. But that kind of stuff scares away a lot of people. Simplicity doesn't necessarily bother me, but there's got to be something more than just that.

    Anybody ever watch the parody "Shreds" videos? Check out "Nickelback Shreds"

    I always thought it was hysterical that in an anti-gay ad, he was wearing the jacket from Brokeback Mountain.

    No. Metal and punk are anti-establishment. Rock is bigger than that. Rock embodies all that is fun, sex, drugs, partying, etc.

    Rock is about a rhythm, a beat, and that feeling you get when you hear it. It *can* be political, but it does not have to be. It can be angry, naughty, or just fun.

    FYI - rock went full-blown mainstream in the 80s. I have bands in every decade that I enjoy. I listen to all kinds of rock. I love them all for different reasons. Nickelback, in particular, holds a special place in my heart, along with Jane's Addiction, Pink Floyd, Dead Kennedys, and Bruce Springsteen. So many memories and so many emotions are tied-in to each of them.

    Nickelback isn't my favorite band, but they rock. They are my go to band for a lot occasions. I have about a dozen of their songs on my playlist. With the exception of Eminem and a couple of hip hop songs, rock is the only genre that is in my library. I can appreciate most music, but rock is where it's at, cat.

    Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
    I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
    Oh, that *kitten* makes me bat-*kitten* crazy
    We've got no fear, no doubt, all-in, balls out

    We're going off tonight to kick out every light
    Take anything we want, drink everything in sight
    We're going 'til the world stops turning
    While we burn it to the ground tonight

    We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
    I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
    Oh, we got no class, no taste, no shirt, and *kitten* faced
    We got 'em lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown

    NOW, WHO HASN'T IDENTIFIED WITH THAT, AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFE??!!!

    Yep, except for me, it's tequila.

    Dear Nickelback haters, I owe my life to Nickelback, I was in a coma for 9 years after a terrible car crash. One day my nurse turned the radio to a Nickelback song. So I got up, and turned the radio off.
