Why i hate Nickleback

brainofPJ

"we'll all get skinny if we just don't eat..."

one of their songs being played on the radio has this line in it..come to think of it the whole song is filled with pathetic one-liners like this..but this is the only one i remember because when i first heard it my wife was with me and we turned half-way towards each other out of embarressment and then we just lost it.

"are you kidding me?!!!" she said...

no, i don't think they are. and that's what is sad, or pathetic about it. what a lack of effort, talent, emotion, creativity...

you guys really blow. i can't believe i liked you 'back in the day'

Worst band EVER! They're an absolute embarrasment to my country, not to mention my province.

"He's drunk again, its time to fight, she must have done, something wrong tonight".

My favorite lyrics that look like they were penned by an 8-year old.

Agreed. I puke in my mouth a little bit everytime I hear it. I don't listen to the radio at all, but I think that song was stalking me last summer, probably because it knew how much I hated it and wanted to torture me. Everywhere I went, whether it was a mall, coffee shop, or just walking down the street, I could hear that song blaring out from somewhere. It was incredibly annoying. It would be great if that band would just disappear forever and leave us all alone.

you're right, but close enough...



I'm through with standing in line
to the clubs i'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
quite the way I want it to be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me

(so what you need)

I'll need a, a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet

(Been there done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
And my own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me

(So how ya gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'as we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With the bleach blond hair
and well..
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free

(I'll have a quesadilla haha)

I'm gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me

(So how ya gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'as we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With the bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
todays who's who
We'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial
well..
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
from a pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'as we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With the bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
todays who's who
We'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial well..
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I saw this a few years back. Just look at the macho way he plays guitars and talks. What a complete loser. People who act like that are only masking their own insecurities. Btw, nickelback has a song called 'animals'....


I, I'm driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me tonight
I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
Screamin'

[CHORUS]
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals

So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we're in

You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I'm screamin'

[CHORUS]

So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're in

We were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin'
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing


LAME. CHad Kroeger was also voted the ugliest rock star a few years back. Ugly, untalented and a chauvanist--a triple threat.

After reading these posts, I'm glad I've never heard one of their songs and hope to never hear one.

DOSW

Wow, those lyrics are terrible.

I'm glad I don't listen to the radio so I'm spared from garbage like this.

Damn that song is my guilty pleasure. I leave it on when the radio plays it. Never seen or knew the total lyrics before though. Thought it was them ripping of PJ again.

Yes I thought it was totally unnatural the way he played and his arms looked way too big...

Well, I dislike Simply Red a bit more than Nickelback, but they both REALLY SUCK!

facepollution

You guys should have seen the argument I was having about Nickelback on a different forum, man it was RIDICULOUS!! Chad Kroegar has the worst lyrics in rock, they are horrible cliched bollocks that only a retard could enjoy. To be fair I was pretty diplomatic about my disliking for this band, but seriously they are just a fucking joke, they don't have a shred of originality, and everything they do is dispatched with such a nauseas level of smugness, it really does make me want to smash the radio. What an absolute travesty that a fellow Canadian band like Our Lady Peace is over-shadowed (at least over here in the UK) by this utterly shit band.

Man I needed to get that out of my system........

Man this topic is getting VERY old, why do you people insist on beating a dead horse till its just a bloody mess

It's barely two pages in, how is that old?! Of course a lot of this is pointing out the obvious, but still you can always not read the thread...

lol! i heard an interview somewhere where Chad said that as soon as he sings the first line of Figured You Out, that all the girls in the crowd start screaming. who ARE these women?????

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

:mad:
as a woman, those words make me want to scream for help, or for the cops, or something! *shudders*

Interview with Mike with Couzin Ed (http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/PearlJam/echoes/mmwysp1.html):

Couzin Ed: If you were in a car right now or somebody else's and a PJ song just happens to come on the radio, what do you do w/ that situation?
Mike: Um I usually pretend like I'm not listening to it but I'm very happy that it's on the radio.
Couzin Ed: So you don't change it like, "Ugh! I can't hear myself!"
Mike: Yeah, I'll do that. Yeah, I can't listen to this but then if someone's not paying attention to it, I'll turn it right back and listen to it.
Couzin Ed: What do you do if a Creed or Nickelback song comes on?
Mike: Oh wow...I don't know...I don't wanna comment on that. I just...I...I don't mind Nickelback at all. That's funny, there's another obsessed fan here in the ??? system...program director Gill...and he and I were both glowing yesterday over the fact we found out you were calling in and somehow we got on the topic of which PJ member would it be best to have a drink w/ at a bar and we both agreed it would be you or Jeff.
