I have been wondering the same thing for a while (I've never really listened to their music) I am glad the org helped clear it up for me

When "Figured You Out" first came out, I thought it was a little clever, though cheesy. All their songs sound the same and try way to frickin' hard to be hip! Formulaic crap!!!! I have nothing but distaste and contempt for their brand of music. If you like good hard rock, Nicklecrack is not it!!!!!

I don't hate Nickelback. I'm just convince that are one of THE most OVERrated rock band in the 21st century.

Only Creed is worse than Nickelback.

Creed.......aka Pearl Jam III!!!!!!!

Pearl Jam has substance.. Creed has poop

They're like a Christian rock band that Jesus hates.

Damning!

with jesus as the lead singer...

wow, well i'm going to sound like the odd one out, i actually really like them can't believe there's so much hate for them. hey ho i think they do what they do very well, sure there are other bands that do the same and don't sell as many records but i say fair play to 'em.

Well, you're hardly alone. As vitriolic as the hatred can be towards them they obviously have many fans as their records do sell.

There is more to this clip but this is the best I could find:

There's also a funny one where Chad is reacting to his critics. He says something like "no, Nickleback doesn't suck. We have millions of fans who will punch you in the face if you say that." It was on Much Music (Canada's MTV) and it was played quite a bit maybe 5-10 years ago.

No i know that but having read this thread there's not alot of love going on here

One of the quotes I posted was wrong. The real quote is "Um, no. Nickelback does NOT suck. [Twenty-five] million fans in the world can tell you that Nickelback does NOT suck."

I really wish I could find the clip as it is quite amusing.

Creed is worse because their band leader Scott Stapp is freaking garbage.

And Chad sounds like his voice came out the dumpster. Same thing just different people. Scott thought he was all holier than thou and shit. The public knew better than that.

I've solved the issue:

I like a couple Nickelback songs, meh.

And shush it about Creed's With Arms Wide Open. The lyrics remind me of my son.

I've always wondered why the hate with them too. Their songs are kick ass, Kroeger has a dramatic voice, and they have great lyrics. I love them, personally.

Um.......I KNOW!!!! The reason I call them Pearl Jam III is when STP's 1st CD came out, if U closed Ur eyes U woulda swore it was Pearl Jam (Pearl Jam Jr.). Then Creed (Pearl Jam III).........

Get It?????

Seriously. Saving Me, Too Bad, How You Remind Me--they are some catchy songs with good lyrics.

Haha, "touching lyrics".

Why don't MORE people hate Nickleback is the question I ask

Nickelback is what you become when you grew up on Nirvana and the absolute crap that followed them.
