His music is absolutely horrible and he's made a hell of a living. I wish I could get wealthy sucking at my job as much as he sucks at his job. Hopefully he invests well and retires soon so the world will never have to hear nickelback again.

I'm glad to see Ed has done well. He's earned it.
I do not like Nickelback at all, but I am also at a loss as to why people Chad Kroeger so much. Obviously a lot of people DO like his music, or he wouldn't be so fucking rich. I just don't get why so many people like to trash talk him? Same with Justin Beiber. It's not like they are forcing us to listen to their music, and they apparently make lots of other people (with poor music taste) happy. I feel bad for Chad Kroeger, even if he is rich. So many people are so mean about him, and that people hate him is really publicized. That's gotta hurt him.
As for EV's money... I don't care, and feel weird talking about it here. It's rude to discuss other people's finances, isn't it? 10C forum feels a little too close to his own home to be discussing for some reason (but that's just me - everyone go nuts).

Makes sense PJSoul...I think its just that a lot of people think Nickelback lacks talent. I am baffled by how popular they are. Its generic and whiney...but you're right people do like it, for some odd reason...I think there are a lot of people who are more casual listeners of music who dont mind music like nickelback playing in the background.
As for Ed's finances. I agree, its not courteous to discuss usually, but I think in this situation is is simply a reflection of their talents, which we all know so well, and some people like to see where they rank among the other elites. I mean, we all know they're well-to-do at this point...so does the exact number even really matter?
And, a lot of that income is directly from people on this very board Lol I like to know where my money goes!

I agree Ed's finances should be private. I would not have issue with the mods taking this thread down. That said, Nickelback are horrific. Their music is indefensible. I am an attorney and I have never played an instrument or written a song, however I promise I could write better music shit if I had to. Every song is three cords of shit-guitar-riff and the lyrics are all about getting wasted and getting laid. I really like doing both, and I could definitely articulate it in a better way than those ass-hats. Like I said in my earlier post, I think it is great that someone can suck that bad at their job and still get paid as much as they do. Applebees’ & McDonalds sell horrible food (with the exception of Egg McMuffin), but I am sure there are a bunch of rich dudes who own those franchises.
I doubt Chad K feels hurt about people’s distain for him. Every night he probably laughs his ass off at the people who wasted $100 on watching him. It is like he is the head of a ponzi scheme or something…

I agree that it's horrible music (in my opinion), but I think that Nickelback actually thinks their music is good... or it's at least the very best they can do. I really think that some people this their music is really good! No accounting for taste, right? And since I think they actually believe that what they do is good, and that others feel the same, I don't understand the disdain. No one is forcing us to listen to it! And I don't care who he is - Chad must get upset about how badly he is torn apart. *shrug* I dunno... I don't hate him just because I can't stand his music and think it's shit. I think that would be mean-spirited of me.

my best guess is that Chad Kroeger cares about as much about all his haters as much as Ed cares about how many people think he's god.
at first CK may have been upset about it, but that's fame. If you take it seriously, good or bad, you are doing yourself a disservice. it's not real. it's a perceived notion of your personality based on nothing.
my opinion is Nickelback writes horrible music, but lots of people love it. we really shouldn't put ourselves on any pedestals saying that if you like Nickelback that must mean you don't care too much about music, that PJ fans are "real" music fans. There are people out there that LOVE them. Every riff and every word. Crazy fans just like PJ fans.
I don't get it just like most people don't get why I love PJ so much.

Yeah I agree with that - I try hard not to get stuck on how great my taste in music is (phenomenal! ), and try very hard not to judge other people's tastes in music if they differ from mine. It's all about perception, and that can be so different in someone else that I can't even conceive where they are coming from!
But I still think it must bug CK. I mean, I doubt you do, but I watch TMZ (I think it's often hilarious), and you should see how badly they trash him on that show on a regular basis, and millions of people watch it. And I've heard many accounts of musicians who do indeed notice this kind of thing and are sincerely bothered by it. They are not necessarily immune.

Chad Kroeger is a genius if he's made so much money selling crap! I wonder how many of his haters have 30 mil in their bank accounts. I bet Chad is laughing at all of them all the way to the bank. Like him or not, these are the facts.

All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
