    They are the definition of unoriginal. They are the definition with what is wrong with rock...or should I say pop-rock these days!
    They are simply abysmal!!!

    You're not going to find any love here for NickelStaindCreed. They blow.
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother

    No, you're right. They are original. Original in the way that they are THE most un-original band EVER!

    Nickleback makes me ashamed to be Canadian.......I wish they were from some other country, bad enough we also exported Avril lavigne and Celine Deion.

    Yeah, but you also gave us Rush, which makes the others forgivable ;)

    Hey! Summer of 69 in a kick-ass song! :cool:
  • I was going to post the link to the Nickleback footage from Portugal.

    Absolutely priceless.

    My favorite part is when the lead guy takes off his guitar, he feels the need to slide his fingers to the top of the neck as if to say to the whole crowd, "You guys just don't know what rock is! I know how to rock!"

    Also, I go to Brown and there was a guy who was a SPITTING image of the lead Nickleback character. I used to laugh uncontrollably when I'd see him walk by in the dining hall...

    Unfortunately, he cut his hair.

    Your post reminded me of something my daughter pointed out me a couple of days ago.

    She YouTubed three hit songs for me:

    Creed--WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38Lu9Kfs0vM

    The Calling--WHEREVER YOU WILL GO
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDfj8BH6aos

    Nickelback--FAR AWAY
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op9tWxu6I4E

    They all sound really similar. She also YouTubed Pearl Jam's BLACK from MTV unplugged, and pointed out that the singer from the The Calling imitates a lot of young Eddie's vocal mannerisms.

    That NPR expert would probably say that all of these songs are different, but I think that it is true that there is a certain sameness in what becomes a hit these days.
  • crowded bar st. patty's day 27 green beers in and nickleback comes blasting on the juke box= foamy green puke
    Oh dear dad

    um, im being lazy and not reading from the start, so forgive me if im stating the obvious - but change the station. i work at a hospital, but the radio setting for the whole building is in my office - it was tuned to a boring station that played the same track list morning and afternoon every day. I changed it to a better one - three weeks and counting and nobody has noticed - but im a happier girl :) i bet the patients are too ;)

    lol I love the nickleback sucks bandwagon

    I don't see how this band can be called unoriginal when every single emo band should be slaughtered in their sleep. And wtf look at coldplay and listen to that song clocks and then listen to the other song they released as a single

    ITS THE EXACT SAME THING

    At least nickleback released leader of men which is a fricken good song

    i'd say 99% of people that hate them haven't heard anything from those albums.... however i dont think those songs are good enough to make up for the horrible horrible shit they write now

    besides canada and usa, the rest of the world has stopped buying that shit. the last three records are a one hour song each with subtitles on the sleeve so you can follow the story. i'm embarrased they are from canada
