    LOL! I've seen that before, but it never fails to make me laugh. That's funny stuff.

  • wow. another reason why they suck eh? it makes me wonder why either of those songs were hits . . .and i dunno about anyone else but is that just me or does their hair change lengths?

    I have 2 reasons why I don't like them. One being, as someone already pointed out, all their songs sound exactly the same.

    Two, the singer guy looks like Jar Jar Binks.

    I cannot look at him without thinking "MeeEEeesa gunna sing yOOooOusa a soOOOooNG!"

    same reasons as me...you don't need 10 reasons when you have a few good ones.
  • i think my disgust in the band and total hatred was summed up this year by the song "Animals", my god has anyone read the lyrics?
    "I Will Scream my Lungs out 'til it fills this Room "

    " I Will Feel Alive as Long as I am Free"

  • i dont like nickelback, chad cant sing worth shit

    I once thought Creed was the most horrible band, but then I heard Nickelback. What if they did a collaboration someday with a couple members from each band? Then I would finally be able to hear the worst band ever.

    Lol, my friends at school who all hate them say that Nickelback is "dude rock." Cracks me up every time I hear them say it!!!!

    the only problem with creed was scott stapp. i don't know if you've heard any of the alterbridge stuff but it's not half bad. just in case you didn't know, alterbridge is all the musicians from creed with a new singer.

    Nickelcock blows balls... I've hated 'em for years, and that new tune "Animals" or whatever the fuck it is that they play all the goddamn time on the radio is the WORST song I've heard in a looooooong fuckin time.. These guys and Linkin Park are about the only two bands where I will actually change the station if one of their tunes comes on... Well OK, Green Day is slowly but surely getting to that category too..

  • I usually don't post negatively about bands, but I have to throw in on this one. Nickleback truely sucks. That link is hilarious. I will send it to everyone I know. The new song animals, wow. The worst lyrics of all time, especially by someone who has got to be in their thirties. Sounds like a kid wrote them. Shows you what audience he is going for. Also I have to say I don't appreciate his voice whatsoever.

  • 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
    Screamin'

    [CHORUS]

    So come on baby, get in
    We're just a couple of animals
    Get in, just get in
    Ain't nothing wrong with it
    Check out the trouble we're in
    Get in, just get in

    Thanks for the link, I had it a few months ago and couldnt find it anymore, great stuff :D

    Maybe I'll have to check them out sometime then. So how about Nickelback with Scott Stapp as the singer instead of Chad, except with Chad still writing the lyrics. Or Chad and Scott starting their own band together and having a reality show to recruit the remaining members? Which band would suck worse?
  • a better question is "how can you like nickelback?"

    you'd be hard pressed to find a good answer... if there is one at all..

    I don't really hate anyone, but I don't think much of them. Too much woman-hating, woman as object in their songs that I've heard on the radio.

    Pretty much sums it up. I dug leader of men back in the day but Nickelback's increasing catolague of shitty songs leaves them in a state beyond credible repair. The worst part is they are nominated for like 8 Juno's (Canadian equivilance of the Grammy's).
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    The lyrics of "Figured You Out" are horrible too. Not that all their lyrics aren't horrible.

    I hope he is putting himself in the position of the narrator of the song (a la Ed in "Do the Evolution") rather than expressing his own thoughts there.

    I don't like them because they are as someone said, "dude rock". I've also heard it referred to as "cock rock". Either way it sucks. It just doesn't have the emotion behind it and the music is too boring.

    I also have a soft spot to hate them because I liked "How You Remind Me?" and I bought the album it is on. I just would really like to find another hard rock band to be excited about and had slim hopes they would be it. I am embarrased now to admit I bought the album.
