Ah, thanks for that Highflyer, I didn't even notice the "****" in that URL.
 
I was wondering how he performed such a magical act, actually.
 
Bleh my poor ears :sick:

Website is blocked by our proxy :(

I don't really mind nickelback...not that I know much of their music, but some tracks I have heard seem to be heavy anti woman abuse which is good :)

What is it that everyone hates about them?
 
They're derivative, unoriginal douchebags. The link plays two Nickelback songs - one through the left speaker and the other through the right - at the same time. It's kinda hard to tell the 2 songs apart.
 
That they are... the two songs have such similar beat structures its kinda scary...

It boggles my mind how such a plainly unexceptional, generic sounding band can make it big.

Its actually not that surprising - they are basically Bon Jovi for the 000's.

True. I will however say one thing for Bon Jovi...at least they had some semblance of musical talent (e.g. their guitarist...can't recall the name...could actually play quite well) even though they played VERY generic music.

I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised with the likes of what sells in the pop industry. It's just frustrating that those with the least raw talent always seem to make it big, while those super talented individuals never receive much/any attention.

Agreement on all counts - also: it has to do with age, I can remember getting 'Slippery when wet' on vinyl as a youth and being the hippest kid on the block!
I'd guess that ten to twelve year olds today fig Nickleback is teh roxxorz!
 
Was watching this Top 10 video & read the many comments:

I don't understand the hate?! I believe the hate is mainly due to the fact the internet told them to hate them & people are "sheeple".

Over the years they had some good to actually great songs. With very little duds in-between. Consistently good.

Their best work was from early to late '00's.

I don't buy the "generic sound" argument as well that some people like to throw at them. If you want to play that card many rock bands have a so-called generic sound.

If you hate them discredit them on merit not crap.

/Rant off
