"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'


Esther's here and she's sick?

hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks

    Worst band EVER! They're an absolute embarrasment to my country, not to mention my province.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    "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

    Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
    Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

    This is why I love Nickelback. Where would I be without this video?

    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.

    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...

  • 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........

    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.

  • Anyone here watch the show 'Smith' that was on CBS a few weeks back? It had the one & only Simon Baker in it(so HOTT!) Anyway, lol, in one episode he steals a car & when he gets in, the radio is on & Nickelback is playing (don't remember what song) so my best friend & I look at eachother in disgust & then Simon makes a face & takes the CD outta the CD player & throws it out the window & pops something else in.

    Nickelback Is THe Worst Band of all time , No Question!!! they make Creed look like the Rolling Stones or the Beatles

    when i first heard this song , i thought it was a joke and just like the dj playing a comedy album, until they dj informed that it was the new single from Nickelback. OH MY GOd this is Possibly the Worst of The Worst songs in the world. i rather listen to the Macerena non stop on repeat for days than listen to an entire nickelback album

    They hit it lucky on a Vegas slot machine and are now loaded, before that they were known as Vegas slut machines, where lots of other people shot their loads.

    That scene almost cost me my keyboard. I should have learned by then not to drink during Simon Baker's scenes (after the scene where he shoots the surfers and the one with the cat).
