OT: Detroit doesn't like Nickelback

[elocomotive]

Haha, catch ya later.

Later Bruins' spectator!

Yeah, I know you have a wide palate. I'm just saying a lot of bands make music that sounds the same. It's sometimes very successful, especially when they don't sound like everyone else. To a certain extent, your lead singer usually makes it hard to sound far different than previous works, though some bands do it. And a group like Dave Matthews Band is pretty inventive, but they are going to sound "the same" b/c there aren't many bands that use a violin and a sax in their lineup. I just don't think it's always a horrible thing unless you are making horrible music, which I fully understand if some people put Nickelback in that category. God damn Canadians - stick to hockey!

The problem with Nickleback is that there music all sounds like shit

 

[elocomotive]

Agreed, but I'm speaking from a musical standpoint. Nickelback plays all power chords, with the weakest solos ever.

Totally true. Don't disagree at all.

Its times like this I miss Dup. He would chime in to state that Nickleback was good early on and didnt begin sucking until they catered their music for American audiences.

But he is a huge fan of Van Halen.

Detroit wants to disinvite Nickelback from its Thanksgiving game - Shutdown Corner - NFLBlog - Yahoo! Sports

They will Figure it Out.

Jeez, from the reactions of everyone you'd think they were a girly J-pop band. I don't really get why people hate them so much. They aren't the best music in the world, but they aren't the worst, nor are they going around murdering kittens or anything, and yet people LOATHE them. What have they done that is so offensive?

Turn on the amps.

Every song sounds the same.

Prince is a very underrated guitarist.

That's all I have to contribute for now.

The question is: Vanity or Apollonia?

I signed the petition. I'm watching the game because I really hope they get booed and have trash thrown at them. I don't really know why exactly I hate them. Maybe it's because Pearl Jam was sort of a weakish poppy grunge band, who I kind of like and listened to some of their music, and then Eddie Vedder once stopped by a Waffle House and after three hours of unlimited sausage he shit out Creed. Creed was derivative as hell, and they were bland and mumbly and wished they were Pearl Jam, but they didn't have nearly the talent or creativity. Then one day Creed got raped by Michael Bolton, a douchebag living in a trailer park, and a Holstein with strep throat. The stain left on the sheet went on to become the most bland, uninspired, pre-manufactured garbage to hit the radio since Milli Vanilli, and not only did they take over the airwaves but they spawned a dozen trashy soundalikes, all of whom write shitty songs about how tough they are, how bad ass they are, but how they can be a little sincere and just hang out around a campfire. It's the Applebees fettuccini alfredo of music, it's "Dogs Playing Poker", it's music that a record executive already chewed up and is spitting out "baby bird" style. It is the opposite of anything with soul, or passion. It's like taking roofies and making love to a corpse. It's cold, it's dead, it's just fucking awful and I almost put my car into a ditch and sprain my wrist in a blind panic trying to change the station every time they come on the radio.

Can't believe some in Detroit don't want to hear/see the world's greatest band.

The Beatles are getting back together? It'll be interesting to hear what zombie John and George sound like.

"is this some sort of ploy to get people to leave their seats during halftime to spend money on alcoholic beverages and concessions? This is completely unfair to those of us who purchased tickets to the game. At least the people watching at home can mute their TVs."

For this statement, I am contemplating moving to Detroit. I owe this guy a beer.
