« Previous You And Most People With Taste | I Never Knew Christianity Was So Sexual Next »
I’d say this is a friend win.
Friends don’t let friends go see Nickelback.
True dat! I wish someone had told me this *before* I spent $400 on 12th row seats for my friend who wants to abduct Chad Kroeger… I don’t mind some of their music but I will NEVER go see them in concert again.
i don’t get it
explain please?
Nobody wants to go.. What’s there to explain?
Nickelback sucks. Get it?
-OP probably had a date bail on him.
-While they are unarguably popular (they sell records and concert tickets like crazy), it is not popular to like Nickleback. This is where the ‘crickets’ and ‘that’s the Nickleback talking’ lines, and general snide nature of comments come from.
-The ‘How about I punch-a-size your face…for free?’ line is from Super Troopers.
Nickelback is a s**tty band that nobody really likes.
Well, as your can clearly see, Nickleback sucks. No offence to any Nick fans (highly doubt there are any at all), but he just plain stinks.
^Doesn’t admit to liking Nickelback, because I don’t… but…
Just for the record, Nickelback is a band, so it would be “they just plain stink”, but I’m just saying, it’ not like I like Nickelback or anything… Or that I wish I was Chris’ friend… Or that I would go to the concert… Cause I wouldn’t…
You know, one of my favorite bands is Kid Rock!
Hehe.
I shall laugh with you because I’m afraid most people won’t recognize that quote.
lol did you know kid rock is just one guy? WLIIA FTW
fail, dragonfox… fail.
Did you not see the “Whose Line Is It Anyway FTW” after that?
Friends don’t let friends listen to Nickelback.
EVERYONE HATES NICKELBACK! except this idiot obviously. LOL
No one likes Nickleback
i do
You only think you do, but you really don’t.
^^WIN
Dan ftw!
WINNN!!
Me too, Wolfi, me too. Only the cool kids can admit they like Nickleback…because we’re just *that* cool that we don’t even need to try to fit in with the crowd!
There is nothing wrong with Nickelback… Except for the singing… Which is sounds like it belongs in a country band.
yes, there’s the singing. and the formulaic riffs and structure (ever heard their two “hit” songs played over the top of each other? most classic song-writing fail of all-time), their boring lyrics, the ugly members….s**t dude…..there is absolutely NOTHING redeeming about nickelback.
then why isn’t everyone hating on country bands?
Because Country bands admit they’re Country, they’re supposed to suck.
Nickelback claims to be rock, which is held to much higher standards.
Liking Nickelback puts you in a crowd of pre-teen boys, you’re not in some special “cool” group for liking them
Um. I’m a 34 year old woman and I love Nickelback. It reminds me of my youth.
So, your youth was full of ugly men singing the same song over and over? I pity you.
I’ll bet they print that on their posters.
they….wut.
GTFO my planet.
oh yaaa!
There is no fitting in here. It’s either you dislike Nickleback or you’re a slightly retarded little boy or girl, who can’t wait till they get their first kiss, that listens to that stupid ass “Wanna be a rockstar” song all day. Unless the concert was free and they gave away free booze and weed, I wouldn’t be there. Their singing sucks, the lyrics suck, and the music sucks.
No, you’re just fitting in with a different crowd.
Not liking Nickleback is generally a sign you’ve passed the angsty preteen years and no longer think ‘Photograph’ is a deep and spiritual song, and recognize that every song they’ve made is essentially just slight variations on the same five themes, and that Chad Croaker needs to develop a range beyond ‘overdramatic’.
‘Photograph’ IS a deep and spiritual song!
……….
…………………….
……………………………………
…………………………………………………………….
…………We’re talking about ‘Photograph’ by Def Leppard, right?
I 2nd this!
Hell I’m 13 and I passed the angsty stage a loong time ago. Their songs seem to be about love, losing love, finding new love, oh I really love you, etc.
Obviously you’ve never listened to “Never Again” or “Just to Get High” -or you didn’t understand them. Or maybe you’ve only heard their radio hits?
Just sayin. Not defending Nickelback here, merely presenting evidence to back up my disagreement with the statement.
I listen to them on the occasion. But they’re not my favorite.
There are probably like five songs of theirs I like, none of them the crap they play on the radio. But… Chad’s voice is sexy. If only their songs didn’t suck so much as a whole.
I wouldn’t see them in concert.. I would probably even hesitate if given the ticket for free.
BOOM HEADSHOT
Nickelback sucks!! LMAO!
Title fail?
What? Title win.
Ah, too many ‘thans’ before. They changed it before I saw it.
Eff you all, Nickelback is the shiznit.
fail. Both in taste and as a white kid using the word ‘shiznit’.
Isn’t that from Mork and Mindy? Oh wait – that was Shuzbut.
I forgot the word ‘eff’ man up and use the word f*ck
“the shiznit”? I think you just nitrostreaked in your pants.
I love you.
Hmm, I have no problem with Nickelback, but this is exactly what I’d do if someone offered me tickets.
Reminds me of the glorious days of the pickle.
This is actually pretty funny the longer you listen to it

R-O-F-L
thats awful
Aaron ftw
“Harder to Give Than Away Than An STD” Title Fail FTW
Glad I’m not the only one who realised.
Two “thans” is better than one
Noticed.
Whoops. FTFY.
Some Orwellian falsification there.
I was really glad James pointed out the title fail. (:
There are too many ‘than’s in the title of this post.
oh really?
Nickleback kinda sucks, but they do have a few songs that are good.
no they don’t.
I like nickelback, I don’t like that they charge so much for a ticket
At least he isn’t giving out Justin Bieber tickets.
I think I’d go just to see how many lesbians that look like Justin Bieber go…well besides Justin Bieber herself.
HERSELF!?! HAHAHAHA!!!
People who listen to Nickelback at least are better off in taste compared to Bieber fans.
Aren’t most Beiber fans little kids and tweens?
Their taste in music is kind of expected to suck.
Infact, just take the word “music” out and replace it with “pretty much anything”
I mean they’re the Twilight generation.
I personally HATE being part of that generation. Kids my age have no taste.
i agree that people in my generation have horrible taste in music (besides me and my two friends cause we listen to rock and various types of metal)
I met Chad Kroeger..hotness.
If by “hotness” you mean “as if burned by acid,” then, yes. He’s “hot.”
no, they mean that he was extremely covered in radiation
The lead singer sounds like he has to take a dump, lol.
Why is it that every time I see this post I’m listening to a Nickelback song?
because you have little taste?
That’s a matter of opinion.
No it’s not.
It’s your opinion. I like Nickelback, I have friends who like Nickelback, lots of people like Nickelback. Lots of people hate them. Does it really matter? No. Nickelback is awesome, I don’t care if you hate them or not.
That is somewhat valiant of you, but you can’t possibly expect to post that here and be met with anything but scorn. While liking a band is a matter of opinion, your opinion is wrong.
Dude, there isn’t really a right or wrong OPINION. That’s why it’s called an opinion. It’s not a fact, it’s an opinion. That’s why I don’t care if you agree with me or not. However, if I were to say that the earth is round, that’s a fact. If you think it’s not, that’s an opinion. Get it?
No, there are wrong opinions out there… “Nickelback is a great band” is a ‘wrong opinion’. “Nickelback sucks” is a ‘right’ or ‘correct opinion’. Now in most cases, there are no wrong opinions… but this is one of those exceptions… and basically, anyone to argue otherwise on this site is a moron and a glutton for pain. Why argue? You know nothing productive will come of it… you’re just going to get slapped down like the rest.
And furthermore, your idea of opinion to fact is a bit off… For you to say the earth is round is nearly correct… it’s actually slightly elongated, but round for the most part. Now, if say you were to say ‘the earth is not round’ and it was in no way an accurate statement, it still wouldn’t be an opinion but an incorrect statement. A failed attempt at a fact is not an opinion, it’s just the outcome of ignorance or idiocy. Thank you for playing.
So, using your logic, my opinion that you are an assuming jackass who looks down on people who disagree with him is perfectly fine. My opinion on Nickelback stands. Like I said, I don’t give a **** if you think I’m wrong. There is no such thing as a wrong opinion, just different points of view.
Wrong. There are wrong opinions. If you’d simply said, ‘I like Nickelback’ it would be a subjective opinion and therefore free from designation as right or wrong. Stating that ‘Nickelback is awesome’ makes it an objective opinion, which can certainly be wrong.
No one can tell you that you’re wrong if you say you like them, but it’s plainly wrong to anyone with decent musical taste that your opinion of them as being awesome is fallacious at best. We can’t disagree that you like them but we can certainly call into question your rationale for doing so.
They weren’t always known as Nickelback you know. In the Early days to get people to their concerts they would only charge 5 cents for admittance. They got their name when the crowd would chant “I want my nickel back!” after every song……. true story.
I’m a DJ for an area country station. I own zero Nickelback. I also try never to play it unless absolutely necessary. Moot point since requests for it are so rare.
Haters, you’re on solid ground.
Along with Tokio Hotel, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber…
the phenomena of everywhere hated, but good-selling Bands.
Nickelback is the greatest band ever! <3
You either are the biggest idiot ever, or a troll.
And you are the biggest jackass ever, or just a douche with no life.
Now why can’t they be a troll AND the biggest idiot ever? The biggest idiot ever might be a troll, you don’t know.
I know that, because you just commented here.
Oh-ho-ho! That were such CLEVAR!
GAY!
I like Nickelback…. >>
I never understood why people dont like them that much.
-.- I know a few people who dont like them because their “Christian” and dont like the bad songs.
How about it’s because they have bad songwriting using overplayed themes? And the general bad quality about them.
People listen to Rap music, they have bad songs using overplayed themes.
People listen to pop music, yet again they have bad songs with over played themes.
Picking on one band seems to be the cool thing to do.
Wrong. The hate is also applied to the other bad ‘musicians’.
When the discussions about those groups/singers, you will see them getting bashed. This simply happens to be about Nickelback.
Your comment would be like complaining on a Huffpost forum thread about Glenn Beck that Rush Limbaugh is also a moron talking out his ass; it’s already understood, just not the current topic.
Crickets?
This makes me sad
that and how people prefer Ke$ha over Nickelback.
ke$ha’s hot Nickleback just f’king suck
I’d honestly prefer Ke$ha was in the tour bus with Nickelback when it drove off the cliff… hypothetical here, of course… Nickelback’s tour bus has not driven off any cliffs… to my knowledge… sorry if I got anyone’s hopes up.
We could always set up one of those little ‘Detour’ signs to fix that.
there must be people who like nickelback, otherwise they wouldn’t be so popular O-o

Win^^
OK, I am sick of people hating on Nickelback. If you don’t anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Unless you’re talking about Justin Bieber.
I hate Nickleback
I ‘don’t anything nice to say’ but I still hate Nickleback. If you don’t any typing or grammatical skills, then don’t type.
He accidentally the whole verb.
Agreed xD
Can someone tell me why they hate Nickelback? They do have songs that you can listen to and they make sense, for those who hate that they have the old cliches too, so why? Can someone answer without giving the usual ‘They suck’ or ‘f*** you’ reply? :3 Thanks.
My thoughts exactly. I wonder why no one has replied to yet?
…See below.
Already posted about this precise question.
To list:
Singer’s voice has no range, he sings every song in the same overly dramatic pseudo-growl, changing little other than volume to suit the current song.
Limited musical talent, if you really listen to their songs you’ll begin to notice that they recycle heavily, taking advantage of studio editing to disguise limited technique. This can especially be confirmed by hearing them live.
Terrible songwriting, with each album consisting of the same formula repeated ad eternium: handful of rockers, handful of ballads, one or two spiritual/political anthems. Lyrics resembling something out of a preteen’s journal, both in temperament and eloquence (which may explain why much of their fan base consists of young teens and adults attempting to relive their youths). Heavy recycling of themes from album to album, suggesting a lack of both personal growth and artistic creativity.
Basically, they’re a pop band with badly written, badly sung songs played by musicians whose skill can be described as mediocre at best, portraying themselves as serious rockers while lacking both the chops and the attitude to pass muster. They are, all in all, not worth the attention they get, and while there are certainly worse artists, this particular discussion happens to be about them.
They suck, f*** you. Sorry, couldn’t help it. I think it’s the fact that no matter which song you play, it all sounds the same. Some bands throughout history have taken the initiative to make songs that sound distinctly different from any others they’ve done or that anyone else has ever done. Now these references may be a little before your time, but they’re before mine as well. I’m 29. Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project, Dire Straights, hell, even Elvis Presley managed a few decent songs. But I shall continue; Frank Sinatra and damn near anyone he ever sang or acted with, I might get some hate for this one, but Staind… we’ll leave it there and see what comes of it.
and that was at TerriblyConfused… and their little protege May… btw.
F*** me? For one thing, that’s illegal, and for another, who cares what you think? For crying out loud, don’t you have anything better to do than bash people on the Internet because they have different opinions than you?
For one thing, it’s also a figure of speech, and for another, not at the moment; no, I don’t. How about you? Nothing better to do than sit around and argue what appears to be a lost cause on this particular site? Why not run out and find a ‘fans of nickelback’ site or launch one yourself… there can’t be many, I’m sure the band would appreciate your efforts.
Actually, in my spare time I like to burn books, dress in lime green tutus and run down major highways yelling unintelligible phrases in foreign languages. Sometimes all at the same time.
Ya know, I might be inclined to believe that if I thought you were capable of speaking a foreign language. Thought, I will give you that you’ve managed English better than many on this site. So kudos there. Why green? Supporting alternative energy or does it simply signify your envy of those with better taste in music?
Nah, I just like green because it goes well with my eyes. And why the **** would I be jealous of people who like music I don’t?
Btw- Cójale.
Kudos on taking the time to google a swear word. Now, Geh raus, spielen!
You’ aangaande een domoor.
Oh my god how do I unsubscribe from this my inbox is full of you idiots making comments and then there’s all the comments from the people who hate Nickelback on top of that!!!
At the very bottom of the email there should be a link saying one click unsubscribe. Click it.
You guys are on crack. Nickelback is THE BEST band of all frieking time. Now stop being pansies and just admit it.
I admit I’m not a pansy.
Nickeback “rock”? “Best band ever”? Of course Nickelback sucks. They came to a festival in my country (on the day that was assigned to heavy metal – whoever organized the festival might or might not have been on something…) and started by playing How You Remind Me.
The storm of rocks, water bottles and other stuff thrown at them was epic.
I’d like to see those who defend Nickelback explain why their album “All the right reasons” is Metacritic.com’s 23rd WORST rated album. This puts them in the same league as Kevin Federline.
Wow. I never heard of Nickelback until this failbook status came up and now I regret ever finding out. Lesson Learned. :/
You know why they’re called Nickleback? Cause even if you only paid a five cents to see them in concert, afterward you’d still want your nickle back.
Why the f**k does EVERYONE make fun of Nickelback? It’s a good band! They have good songs! Get the f**k off of it!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, this is like the fourth NB hating failblog i’ve seen. I dont understand, they are the best and have been my favorite band for like five years now. and i’m not scared to say it.
