Just listened to the new nickelback and i think i want to shoot myself Well im guessing/predicting that this album will be the biggest seller of the Xmas season, considering, everyone who buys them thinks they are buying a rock band, but they are possibly one of the worst artists in history, and im not being mean they are probably nice dudes, but they are hideous. I got a promo of this awful album and they are terrible, they are so contrived and boring that everytime i hear the word "Rock" used to describe them i want the person who says that to just explode. And i blame GRUNGE and that whole early 90's movemnet of Nirvana and Soundgarden for bands like Nickelback and Hinder and Daughtry, they all need to just tour together so we can see who is going to these shows and stop them from breeding.

Not a fan of nickelback and i disagree that Nirvana (came out 1988/1989) and Soundgarden (1984) are to blame for the early 90's movement. Music changed with the times..... now u would appreciate the 1990s music b/c the last 8 years on this side of the century has been terrible. i am not looking forward for 2010 - 2020 music scene. are u?

I hated the 90's, the 90's are the reason for everything right now, there are about maybe 5 artists that came out of the 90's that were good, there were some good albums but none were from 90's artists they were from older artists who just continued. The 90's were when soundscan took over and hip hop and rap polluted RB and when awful bands destroyed rock for the most part. This decade has been pretty bad too, but at least its not selling like that 90's stuff did, so without cash things just wont continue good or not. but in this decade once again it was artists that came before these two decades that still made the best new music "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

who BUYS nickelback albums, anyway?
and don't say nirvana fans, because i'm one and i can tell you there's a WORLD of difference between kurt's songwriting and this crap. for pete's sake, candlebox was freakin brilliance in a can compared to dickelslap. so seriously....who are these millions and trillions of people who buy nickelcrap albums? how does this happen? someone once argued to me that i can hate them all i want, but they're great for the music industry because they're bringing in tons of money to the label that can be redistributed to all the funky little hipster band labelmates i might like. i scratched my chin for a moment and said "huh", but decided ultimately it was more productive to keep hating nickelback regardless. | |

I know it's cool to not like Nickelback, but I think they have written some very catchy songs. They are well performed and well sung.
But I do agree, I don't see that much of a similiarty between Nirvana, Soundgarden and other 90's grunge bands and Nickelback. I loved a lot of the 90's grunge influenced bands. Hole's Live Through This is one of the best albums ever. Rock is a very wide diverse catergory of music. I don't really see how someone can say some band isn't real rock. People like different kinds of rock. | |

I think Nickelback has more in common with Rick Springfield than Nirvana  [Edited 11/12/08 19:31pm] | |

[Edited 11/12/08 19:31pm] Nice try dude, but Nickelback cant write "hooks", they are fucking boring plain and simple, the reason they are Grungy, is the fact that they are depressing. Every song they write is "im here your there, miss you cant find myself, wish i was dead" and they play really bad too. And the dude from Nickeback does have that "droning" whine that Kurt Cobain had so there is a big time similarity in that, not saying they are writing the same songs but their "droning" style of fucking depression is there.

[Edited 11/12/08 19:31pm] Exactly. I love most kinds of rock and I like Rick Sringfield as well. But he has a very mainstream non edgy sound just like Nickelback. I don't get why people are snobs about music. I love Madonna, but I also love more alternative edgy artists. I either enjoy someone's music or I don't. I'm not into the snobby thing about what is credible and what isn't. | |

It depends what you are listening to, i find the judgements on Springfield are based on "jessies girl" and the singles he's had on the radio, and that isnt a fair judgement, his last three albums, are actually more edgy than the "artists" that are being called "edgy" and "innovative" now. There is nothing interesting in Nickelback at all, that may sound harsh, but there is just an empty pit of nothing in everything they do, ive heard their records, seen there videos and tried to see what it is about them people dig, and as usual i have no idea why people are into it "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

Pearl Jam were formed 1990..... 18 years later..... still together.... Nirvana could be together to this day.... who knows. I wished Soundgarden never broke up.

But thats the thing, Pearl Jam was always the better band they just got caught in that "grunge" era, but they really werent grunge, they were more of a hard rock band, similar to the who. I didnt see that growth potential in Nirvana much like with GNR as a band.

The growth potential in Nirvana is an interesting view... but honestly... they got even more popular from Kurt Cobain's Death. Yes and true, Pearl Jam are a Hard Rock band that got caught in the Grunge era. U should check out the album Temple of the Dog.....members of PJ and Soundgarden together, Chris Cornell Lead Vocalist and Song writer... one of the finest albums from the 1990s.

This album bugs you so much that you want to sterilize their fans? 
I don't think they are good enough to qualify for that type of hate. 
To me they sound/look like a perfect amalgamation of Lifetime Network and SPike TV. A match made in the back of a pickup truck. But major props to anyone that stands up for what moves them. ----- [Edited 11/13/08 18:26pm] | |

God only knows why you would purposely listen to them. I mean they are so bad they covered themselves not someone who actually does good music

I'd shoot myself if I ever listened to ANY of the Nickelback albums.  | |

i just can't imagine anyone being a passionate fan of this band. "yeah, i collect everything nickelback related. i have every recording and every import on every format ever released. i have a whole room of promo and tour posters. don't tell anyone, but i also have over 500 nickelback bootleg recordings."
i mean, i can't imagine it, but I'M SURE THEY EXIST.
it's one of those things i just can't wrap my mind around. | |

ok, let's go back to the era 1990/91 and look at some bands mentioned on this thread, or the musical genre you say that has led us to Nickelback.....and let's leave out the obvious Nirvana, because that comparison you made really makes no sense to me. Listen to these tracks and ask yourself which ones do you think stood the test of time more.
Temple of the Dog - 'Hungerstrike' 1990 Soundgarden - 'Outshined' Badmotorfinger 1991 fuck it, let's do include Nirvana, just no the obvious one: Nirvana - 'Sliver' Incesticede 1990 Alice In Chains - 'Would' Dirt 1992 and another video from the same era, just not so grungy, and not from Seattle.....this was why so many people welcomed the Seattle grunge scene so much: Firehouse - 'Don't Treat Me Bad' 1991 and finally, Nickelback, almost 20 years later: You have to admit that it is a very blunt statement that the first 4 songs led us to the Nickelback-crap from today.....the Firehouse-song from '91 is a lot closer! Sure, there were some crap grunge bands and copycats but I just hate it when this scene is being put off as a fluke that didn't mean anything. I guess, you had to be in your early 20's when it broke through, after having survived most of the crap rockbands that came out in the 80's..... Nickelback suck ass, but there is no credit for the better grunge bands for that..... [Edited 11/14/08 19:21pm] | |

[Edited 11/14/08 19:21pm] no one said that "era" which wasnt an era it was more like a 3-4 year thing, didnt mean anything, im saying that it spawned bands like this (nickelback,lifehouse,hinder,alterbridge) bands that are now all singing the same song. Every movement you get will cause crap, the issue with the grunge era is that no one really survived with the exception of Pearl Jam who werent a grunge band anyway they just got caught in it. Every movement spawns copycats, the supposed "metal days" had Motley Crue but then crap like Winger and Warrant crawled into the picture, but bands that are bigger than movements survive and those who arent bigger than the movement dont survive. Nickelback and the others mentioned like Daughtry,Hinder etc...are all the same band, same chords same theme, and its coming from this 90's rock era which was the grunge era so to speak, when you bands SLOW rock down to nothing.
