Yeah, we shouldn't be allowed to criticize a band we don't like, because they're more successful than us! Good thinking!

It isn't that you criticize, it's that you go way overboard with it, and the criticism never seems to stop. I don't listen to Nickelback, and for the most part I think they suck, but I don't get my jollies by bashing them.

Hell, some of you are posting their lyrics. Here's a thought, turn the radio station. When people start quoting lyrics, me thinks they are closet Nickelback fans.

I don't like Audioslave, RHCP, Tool....I guess i should start a thread to talk about that.

aCtually the footage seems to be of some musical festival, where Nickelhack were on the bill. in that case the people attending were probably there to see much more talented bands and artists perform, and were aggitated over the fact that a horrible mass of untalented slime had lurked on stage

Doesn't change the fact that they were throwing hard objects at the band, and some of you support that.

Go right ahead, that's what forums are for. And you don't have to be a closet fan if you post lyrics. You do realize this lovely thing called the 'internet' has many sites dedicated to posting lyrics of every song they can get their hands on and it takes a mere 5 seconds on Google to find said lyrics and copy and paste, right? I agree some people take things overboard like saying the band should die or whatever but there's nothing wrong with talking about how much a band sucks on a message board.

It's the best way to rock out at a Nickleback concert.;)

And yes it was at a festival in Portugal which was mostly heavy metal acts on the bill.
Cant remember which one, I also support the people throwing bottles at MCR at the Reading festival.

A Surprise Left

Some of their non-singles are actually okay (not great but okay) but nearly every single they release is almost the same as the single before, the perfect generic rock band.

for that cd I purchased a few years back. Honestly, I rarely have any issues with cd's that I purchased. I usually like at least 4 or 5 songs if not the whole album but I can honestly say that cd sucked!
I went to a concert that they were playing at. I actaully went to see Jerry Cantrell who opened for them. And I thought the show was so super lame. Very overrated band.

"This thread is interesting in that it is a bunch of people bashing a band that has gone farther in its career than any of the critics in this thread will in theirs."

isn't that like a five star french chef insulting mcdonalds and you saying "shut up, more people eat thier food than yours!"?
