cos it really gets on my nerves,,, not only is it a terrible song but its played everywhere you go.
i found this to make me enjoy it slightly more

Lucky me, i dont go anywhere and dont have a TV so i'd only heard it twice before ;)
-
^LOL love that video. :D
But I love Nickelback too. Great band. :)
-
That youtube clip friggin' Rocks! :D
'... full blown ho ...'
I almost ruined my monitor at that bit :P
-
great find man.
So could someone do the same thing with famous guitarists instead?
:P
-
I was always annoyed with every song Nickelback puts out.
Something about the "whoooaaaa yeeeaaheeeyyyyeeeaaaa" in their songs.
-
I'll kill them
-
That video annoyed me more than the actual song.
-
That U-tube video is genious!
Allthough I can't stand Nickelback, 'Rockstar' ain't that bad. It's that 'Photograph' song that made me vomit every time I heard it.

Virgin Radio called them the greatest rock band in the world...
Hmmm...

my only problem is how overplayed there songs become in such a short time.

I would say greatest pop-rock/mainstream/modern rock band with a singer called Chad.
No really, they're OK. They have some good songs.

:lol:
Well... put it this way then, can you name a better pop-rock MAINSTREAM band of modern times than Nickelback? (I bet you can't) 8)

I hate Nickleback but i like that song :P

Alter Bridge for a start, although I admit they're a heavier outfit altogether.
But I'm not sure where pop-rock ends and "non-pop" rock begins really, or what's mainstream and what isn't.
I'd certainly rather listen to Nickelback than My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte or all those endless pop-punk clone bands.

Yeah Alter Bridge are probably metal. But I agree- Alter Bridge are fantastic - and I would prefer them over Nickelback.
I agree with not knowing what's pop-rock or what's mainstream (I hate the endless sub-genres and compartmentalism (is that a word?) of music), but basically I just mean a modern-day band that's 'popular' or 'big.' You're last sentence hit the nail on the head:

Exactly! :)

Isn't there an interview with nickelback somewhere that says they basically reproduce their first big hit over and over again just ensure their continued popularity?

"This is how we remind you
Of what we really are
This is how we remind you
Of what we really are
It's not like you to be wrong
But you were waiting on a different song?
This time it's too soon
For handing you a brand new tune
I've been wrong, I've been down
To the bottom of every chord chart
Despite words in my head
Scream "Have you got a hit yet?"
Yet?, Yet?, Yet?, no no"

Another vote for Alter Bridge.
Very impressive indeed.

Oh har har. :lol:
I don't see anyone giving AC/DC much flack for songs-sounding-same factor. :roll:
-
but ACDC's songs weren't consciously constructed to be EXACTLY the same, so they sell well.
Did anyone ever see that MP3 that someone made with a 'different' one of their hit songs panned each way, and both songs were in the same key, the same length, and had the same structure. All that had changed was some of the chords and the lyrics.
-
The band can be ok, can only really listen to about 3 songs though, they sound way to saaamey after that. It seems all he does is have an acoustic guitar and play barre chords or something... (I find that gets a little boring)
Then theres the Santana song that has the heeey o eeeeey ohh eyyyy oh ey and we danced on into the night.
-

No I don't believe I've heard that.... unless........ no surely not..... wait.... is that.............. is that.... the thing you posted ages ago and ALWAYS bring up? :wink: :lol: :twisted:
Okay so they might have constructed similar songs to remain popular so what? :)
Secondly- you have no way of knowing if AC/DCs songs were consciously constructed to be the same or not... so shhh. :) :wink:
Thirdly, as I said last time there was a big hoo-haa about Nickelback- how many songs have you actually listened to?!?! They are much more diverse than you all make out, ranging from very metal-esque songs to acoustic ballads. You've just got to see past their radio-friendly side.

like never again :D that is an awesome song.

^It is! :D
And Because of You. And Believe It or Not. And Should've Listened. And a lot more! :D
-
I have not heard it-am I the only one on the planet not to have and do I get a prize?
-
you can't compare AC/DC and Nickelback, that's heresy in my eyes.
it's like comparing an Aston Martin to a Lada.

yeah nickelback are a aston martin and DC are a lada.... no thats too harsh.
a volvo
-
Aye, same time though...
It's rather amusing how much of the "sell-out" behaviour they slabber about in "Rock Star" Nickleback have engaged in. Such as erm, cutting their hair and changing their names etc.
-
To be fair to them, they are a bloody good live rock 'n' roll band, who know how to write catchy songs which appeal beyond the immediate 'rock' audience.
I like them. But I like Alter Bridge a lot more.

But I'm not comparing how GOOD they sound, (i.e. an Aston performs much 'BETTER' than a Lada), I am comparing how similar they are within themselves. You could draw many parallels between the Aston Martin and the Lada in that respect- they both have wheels, a chassis and an engine, for a start. :wink:

Did anyone else hear that...? I think I heard a noise...? Nobody? What the hell was that? Oh.... Oh!!!! That was the nail being hit on the head... bloomin' hard.

lol calm down Sambo you're getting too excited. :P
-
Apparently they have a beer canon at their gigs. Thats their only redeeming feature.
-
lol calm down Sambo you're getting too excited. :P
Do you remember the last Nickelback discussion? That was really something... :lol:
-
Although I dislike what little I have heard of Nickelback I do quite like "Rockstar"
Hmmm not one of Canadas greater exports (definately not as high up the list as Molson Ice, Maple Syrup or Macaroni Cheese
Hmmm which to go and see live Nickelback or DC, I don't think it's even nessicary to say which one is going to be the better show :lol:
Aston Martin vs Lada
More like Aston Martin vs Lah Di Dah
-
But... but.... but......
Nickelback have pyrotechnics... :(

They also have rock catching competitions (Chad won by using his face ;) )

Yeah he caught all the HANDSOME-ROCKS!!! HA!

um......
mmmm.
:roll: :oops:
-
:lol:
Yeah he caught all the HANDSOME-ROCKS!!! HA!
And these ones too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQzhOyHTarU apparently the trouble started becase the band wanted all the food stands closed @ the festival
Unfortunitely it also meant that people couldn't get any water eitherm after being stuck there since early morning
-
^Haha. :oops: Yeah I've seen that before. It is quite funny I have to say.
-
I didn't mind the song at first. But it's played on the Radio so damn much that it now gets on my nerves. I would stop listening to the Radio but I can't avoid it at work. :cry:
-
I went to see Bon Jovi a couple of years ago & Nickleback were supporting them, gotta say even though they are not my cup of tea, they are good live & do get the crowd going, can't knock them for that.

I find alter bridge way too similar to nickleback for me too like them. I dont mean i dont like stuff because it sounds the same, just i heard one alter bridge song and thought it sounded like nickleback which i dont really like so i havent ever been into them.
They are good at writing catchy pop rock tunes but it isnt my cup of tea.
They're also the reason for this very long thread.
They've accomplished much.
-
I cant help finding youtube spoofs anoying though. I cant watch one from start to finish.

:o :o :o :o Are we talking about the same Alter Bridge here!?
-
Gotta say I don't like the second Alter Bridge album as much as the first. There are too many mid-tempo power-ballady songs and they're not sticking in my head, even after multiple listens. Great voice the guy has though.
-
There was a song i saw on Kerrang or Scuzz ages ago. I havent heard of them since.
-
Over here, Nickelback is not quite universally reviled. With each song they put out, they get a little closer though :) I absolutely hate the band and all of their songs.
They are from the same province as me, Hanna is only about two hours from where I live. Back when I was working fast food in high school, my boss and had gone to school with Chad Krueger and I guess he was just the biggest loser around.

I had a buddy that I went to college with who was from Red deer and he used to just go on about how him and Chad and the guys were best buds and they used to jam together and stuff. He was so full of shite, lol, and why would you brag about that even if it WAS true?
We still get a good chuckle everytime that guy was brought up.

Agreed, 110%.

No, I missed it as well :D, until this thread, at which point I felt compelled to investigate . PDT_047
God, I thought this lot had gone the way of hear'say some time ago. I remember liking "how you remind me" when I was 10, but the other week I saw (note: not bought) that kerrang were running a headline Is This Britains Favourite Band? or suchlike.
My First thought was, where's Q?
then hang on... I recognise this bearded horse.
Finally: Noooo, nickleback have been resurrected!
According to a wuss-rock friend of mine, evanescence are back too!
what next? OPM? Alien ant farm? Fountains of Wayne?
-
I am annoyed by any nickleback song :shock: :rock: :enforcer: :rip: :plasma: :gib:
-
I like Ryan Adams' description of Chad... "he's a penis-sausage" :lol:
-
Although i to am mildy fond of some of nickelback's stuff, i find that after a couple of songs you start having deja vu, not the good kind either. i mean listen to good times gone and rockstar and tell me the bridge isn't EXACTLY the same.
and i have to say, Alter Bridge OWN NB, anyday, although i (unlike phil) prefer there second album, less commercially catchy but lots more metal and lots more EPICNESS!!! (i have a fetish for songs that last 7 minutes or over :D )
But although they do ripp off their own songs alot, i have to admit they still do have quite a few different tracks, unlike some bands i could mention (*cough* *cough* DRAGONFORCE *cough* *cough*) who repeat their best song in, not just some in nickelbacks case, but EVERY SONG IN THEIR BACK CATALOGUE. thats one of many reasons why i don't like dragonforce.
that and their guitars sound like keyboards (curse you dimarzio!)
-
Someone actually put two Nickelback songs together - EDIT <blank> lol..
+1 for long songs
-
Yeah man i heard about that, do you guys have a link or something, coz this sounds like something i wanna hear!

Alter Bridge is awesome, and more than a few of their songs can be great singles, enough to compete with Nickelback. Some are these: Rise Today, In Loving Memory, Down to my Last, One Day Remains, Shed My Skin, Broken Wings, and they even covered Kashmir!

Is anyone else really annoyed by Nickelbacks song ROCKSTAR??
Yes!
