You know... their lyrics are pretty all over the place. It doesn't seem like they actually make songs about things they really care about anymore.

So yeah, pretty much.

I don't care for Nickelback either. Sounds like a failed metal boyband. If that makes sense. I honestly can't see how my mother stands this stuff then proceeds to call the music I like "pointless static." :x

Nickleback is an awful perversion of the late 80's/early 90's underground and is indicative of everything that is wrong with modern mainstream rock.

+1. Or anything that's gone sellout. It's why I like Megadeth and Motorhead so much, I suppose... :roll:

Never was a big fan. They had their 2 or 3 hits (which i forget the name of them!). But anyways, just never got into them.

Just to clarify my position, my fav artist ever is Rory Gallagher, followed by SRV, then Clapton , then Jimi, The Beatles, Zepplin.

Outside of that though i have to admit Nickelback are one of my guilty secrets! I really like their stuff. i mean, its like a modern version of all that big hair licra pants stadium rock stuff. it certainly scratches my itch at times.

There's a place for all music...except dance music, there's no place for that except hell. :lol:

What do you mean "NOW"? I have never been impressed with them, and I was a commercial DJ back when they first came out, and never really understood why they were signed in the first place, and then the fact that masses of people seem to love them is even more confusing... :roll:

volunteer camera man for cable access did about thirty shows 'rock my $@!' it was on saturday afternoons every one would send their cd's to the producer after he listened he'd let the crew take whatever and i grabbed their three song ep sounded really good at the time that had to be ten years ago the show went off the air in '01 .

I don't really care about Nickelback, but my mother (yeah you read right!) seams to like them.

I kinda dig "Rockstar" but away from that I really don't care.

I don't know about elsewhere, but here in Canada everytime you turn on a radio they are cramming Nickleback down your throat.
I didn't care for them when they came out, I don't care for them now.
The spoken vocals in "Rockstar" are pretty funny though!
