ahh show your hate for nickleback, come on guys.
I was in skegness last week and went into Watsons a pretty cool independant record store, they had nickleback playing, i said "dude cant you change this nicklecrap your playing you'll scare the customers away" the guy was quite upset as he'd put it on, and liked them :eek:
but he changed it to The White Stripes.
And of topic they had a sale rack where i found a copy of The Rockfords album for £1.99p, and Mark Lanegan's Bubblegum for £4.99p:D
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).
This makes me giggle insanely.
I played it for a friend who likes Nickleback once.
She was none too impressed with me.
But the next day asked me for the link.
the person below me smells like cat pee and raisins...
A friend of mine at work is a pretty big Nickleback fan. I try not to insult him about it, but let him know I'm not a fan. He was all hyped up when the new album came out and I gave it a listen. All I could say was that a couple of the songs were listenable, but basically he is one of the worst lyricists Ive heard. There was one song on there about picking fights with guys/girls who hit on his girlfriend at a bar. Those lyrics make "Animals" look good.
Figured You Out - Nickelback
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
And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose
Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress
And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
I like your pants around your feet
And 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 favorite damn disease
And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
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.
Yeah, that was me that said they were dude rock. Cock rock you say?! LOL. Oh man, I gotta tell my boys about that one!! Yeah, I was talking to one of my friends, and he was like "why do you hate Nickelback?" and I called one of my other friends over and I was like "tell me bro, what do you think of Nickelback?" and he was all like "They're corporate cocksuckers!!" Great times, great times.
I don't know really what it is either, but I can't stand them. The lyrics stand out as being horrendous most of the time, the guitars have that stupid 80s saturated distortion, its just complete cookie cutter bullshit.
A friend of mine, who usually leans toward country and classic rock, recently told me he really likes Nickelback. I didn't know what to say other than "I don't really care for them too much." I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I just shuddered to think that he actually enjoys that crap.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

My friend was listening to that song today. He said "I love that line, "I like your pants around your feet", isnt that awesome?".
I replied with something along the lines of "Pearl Jam would never write a song like that about women." Thats one of my favorite things about PJ, they write without using sterotypes. They write about all people.

Has he heard Anything Goes by Gn'r off Appetite For Destruction "panties round your knees, with your ass in debries, doing that grind with a bump and squeeze" only that song is about sex not rape.
