is everybody Canadian now?

Nickelback is the worst shit ever. Liking even one of their songs means you have shitty taste in music.
#6 | Comment by trot — August 22, 2012 @ 9:03 am
Nickelback is the worst music I’ve ever heard since Avril Lavigne. So they’re perfect. Independant of that, that bitch is smoking hot and anyone who says different likes to Sandusky little boys.

I want to rape her while he watches

#8: This is the FUBAR I know and love.
#4, #6: I agree, with the sole exception of ‘Never Again’, which is floorfiller gold. Every time I hear it I want to go fucking crazy and (ironically) beat-up on women.

at least we will see her in a wedding dress again

Oh man. What a waste of a tasty woman. AB’s right. Nickelback sucks ASS.

where does that dickhead harrykrishna stand on this?
#12 | Comment by jerky — August 22, 2012 @ 3:55 pm
Ha, and Avril is the most talented musician in the relationship. Kroeger is punching above his weight here in every respect.
It also makes me wonder WTF Avril is thinking, because by marrying him it also means she likes his music.
But I really like that Nickelback song about the woman with her panties down and jizz covered dress. That was pure class.

99% of the people that say Nickelback sucks have never listened to Nickelback. They are circlejerkers.
They are homosexual.
They are redditors.
#15 | Comment by Horatio — August 23, 2012 @ 2:49 am
i’m in that other 1%.
i’ve listened to nickelback.
nickelback SUCKS.
#16 | Comment by AngelBaby — August 23, 2012 @ 6:10 am
“Nickelback is mediocre, I suppose. I like ‘Rockstar’ well enough, I don’t actively care about their music in general.”
“Either way, I agree with the intent of 15’s comment, but being gay is not equivalent to forming your opinion based on what other people think. I’d say it’s more reasonable to say that such people are simply, irrelevant. If you can’t have an opinion without someone else ‘giving you permission’, you don’t even deserve to suck a dick. Those kinds of people are just a waste of space. Honestly, I imagine many of them listen to Nickelback, having already decided it’s cool to think they suck, and then, by some magical twist of fate, decide they suck.”
“However, I concede that I’ve had no indication in the past that Angelbaby would not listen to Nickelback and simply declare that they suck of her own accord. That’s fine. Again, I don’t care. I’m not defending Nickelback, I’m condemning idiots.”

15: I am heterosexual, I have listened to Nickelback, I have given them every chance to create something listenable and noteworthy. They have failed at every turn. Their music doesn’t sound like it is the effort of a musician who genuinely has something to play. It sounds like there’s a record executive in the sound booth with a checklist, maximizing the music’s efficiency and making sure they hit all points needed to make a successful top 40 record. It’s soulless, ball-less tripe that will be forgotten in 10 years and Nickelback will be playing free shows at fairgrounds for hot dogs and blowjobs from fat redneck women.
#21 | Comment by Manohman — August 23, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
I’m apparently in the minority here. I actually like some of their music.

PS Nickelback DOES suck, there’s no case for them having decent music, none at all. They’re really terrible. No, I’ve not heard every song of theirs. But I don’t need to hear every Zeppelin song to know they are awesome. Sometimes you can just tell.
#24 | Comment by a — August 23, 2012 @ 6:38 pm
15 has a fucking name.
#25 | Comment by Horatio — August 23, 2012 @ 7:12 pm
21 – funny thing is, i almost threw out a “playing state fairs” line, because i live in a city that hosts such an event, and i’ve seen the parade of has-beens that play here each fall.
#26 | Comment by AngelBaby — August 23, 2012 @ 8:49 pm
Oh, the guy who said, “If you don’t like Nickelback you’re a faggot!” (Paraphrased, of course) was expecting courtesy? That’s rich.

Their children will grow up and start a green day cover band.

“Seriously… missing the fucking point 27… He was saying fuck you to people who say something’s good or bad because everyone else does… I don’t even know if he likes Nickelback based on what he said, because he never once said they were good. What he said (paraphrased) was that a vast majority of people who think they suck are idiots, because they have never even bothered to listen to them.”
“To be clear, I think Horatio is probably a moron (particularly because he used homosexuality as an insult), but my argument here is: not as much of a moron as you (27, and people who are equally incapable of understanding the point).

#30 | Comment by glitter — August 24, 2012 @ 8:21 am
29: No, I got the point: 15 is a troll (I’ve seen him trolling all over the place on this site. His favorite thing to do is apparently proclaim that girls who other people think are attractive are ugly), and you’re apparently his jerkwad white knight. His point came off pretty clear. If he meant: “99% of people who say they hate Nickelback haven’t even given them a chance”, he would have SAID that. But nope, he went the, “If you don’t like them you’re gay/a mindless drone” route, and you decided to defend him on that position for some reason.
Enjoy life!
#31 | Comment by Manohman — August 24, 2012 @ 7:31 pm
what the? I thought she was dating that sum 41 dude. I am straight, own 2 Nickleback albums and 1 Avril Lavigne album, i’ve gone off avril’s music a bit.. as for nicklebacks.. well, ok they’re not epically good.. but I like them.
#32 | Comment by garth — August 24, 2012 @ 9:40 pm
She was married for four years to the Sum 41 dude but they divorced two years ago
#33 | Comment by Jamdez — August 24, 2012 @ 11:01 pm
“Yes, in my grand gesture of defense, I decided to call Horatio a moron. How is ‘99% of people who say they hate Nickelback haven’t even given them a chance’ drastically different from ‘99% of the people that say Nickelback sucks have never listened to Nickelback’?”
“By the way, that’s absolutely rhetorical, if you actually answer it, your answer will be stupid, and hurt my brain, I guarantee it. Maybe he is a troll, I dunno, I don’t keep track of which of you idiots say which stupid things. Since walker and JB left, I know who Justin and Angelbaby are, and that’s pretty much it.”
“Horatio is probably a douchebag, but since I don’t know what he’s usually like, I refuse to make that judgment call for one statement. I remember recently noting someone reference him, and not realizing he even existed, and then being confused, which is pretty much the extent of my interaction with him.”
“I’m not defending him, I’m defending his point, or at least part of the point he made, even if that was not his intention. So kindly fuck off, before I catch an extra dose of stupid from you.”
#34 | Comment by Ryu — August 25, 2012 @ 5:42 am
shows how much notice I took.. think I stopped being interested in avril when she got hitched.. now, I don’t care now.
#35 | Comment by garth — August 25, 2012 @ 10:45 am
I remember back in the day when we could just call someone a punk bitch and we didnt have to go back and forth with paragraphs and run-on sentences defending each position.
take your fucking licks and move on.
and for the record. we are blessed to see a merging of such raw talent. Hardcore punk rock meets HEAVY METAL.
the only thing that could top this is if Taylor Momsen married Adam Levine. Maybe.
#36 | Comment by the block obama — August 25, 2012 @ 11:05 am
99% of people who hate Nickleback heard one or more of their songs on television or top 40 radio by accident and asked themselves, “WTF is this utter garbage that is poisoning my ears? Do people actually enjoy this? Those people must be stupid fucking rednecks and white trash with terrible taste.” I’d say that’s an informed position. Also, for the record, that is how you use quotation marks. You don’t fucking put them around every statement you make, jackass.
#37 | Comment by trot — August 25, 2012 @ 11:21 am
34: Yeah, because you get plenty of stupid from yourself, you don’t need anything compounding the matter.
#38 | Comment by Manohman — August 25, 2012 @ 3:39 pm
“To 36, because hurling pointless insults and running away is how intelligent people do things, of course… I grew past ‘I know you are but what am I’ before I left elementary school,” points at 38, “sadly, not everyone managed it.”
#39 | Comment by Ryu — August 25, 2012 @ 5:56 pm
Yeah, well Walker and JB are still here , and have been just under different names and people , Ryu (lame ass name) just likes to use quotation marks okay?! He thinks it makes him look like he posted some infinite wisdom and that he is being quoted in Time magazine or something..so leave him alone with his sad lil fantasy
#40 | Comment by al — August 26, 2012 @ 7:28 am
Never seen what the big deal is with Avril; not bad, but doesn’t do anything for me.
As far as Nickelback, I can’t remember a single one of their songs. I’m sure I’ve heard some, which I guess means from my POV, they’re neither good nor bad, just utterly forgettable.
About the only thing I can remember about them is this concert announcement, which I guess sums up things pretty well.
#41 | Comment by flyboy — August 27, 2012 @ 12:28 am
as much as i want to fingerblast avril i cannot be happier. this is kismet at its best. two canadian (not a real country, btw) shitty artists getting married.
i lost my boner, eh?
#42 | Comment by yesyesyall — August 27, 2012 @ 2:19 am
Is Nickleback the greatest rock band of all time? Certanly not. Do they suck? I guess that’s just the individuals opinion.
I like a few of their songs, and I think a few others are bad.
However, I certainly wish I had his talent. He’s got more talent in his scrotum then any most of the people here.
If you think I am wrong, prove it by writing and producing a gold or platinum record. (Just be sure to thank me at The Grammy’s for pushing you towards your true potential!)

Any musician with integrity wouldn’t write shit that bad. It’s crass and insulting. You can sell gold records because there sure are enough asshats out there who like to listen to the same sounding shit their entire lives while they drink their busch lite and beat their wives. That doesn’t in any way validate the music. And the grammys have been irrelevant for over a decade if not much longer. When you base awards on record sales you reward mediocrity.
#45 | Comment by trot — August 28, 2012 @ 12:14 am
#45:
OK, I see, I understand now. In that case, please go out and write sensational music with incredible lyrics that will span the course of time and history.
Just remember that you are in it “for the music” and refuse to accept any monetary rewards or awards for your accomplishments.
I however, as your manager will accept 100% fees. Thank you.
