Very good band imo, why the hate?
I was just about to say I'm going to move against popular opinion here and say I don't think they are all that bad. Just bad press and bandwagon hate.
Don't get me wrong they are no Led Zep and have never managed to grace my winamp. but still...are they really THAT bad?

Not even close. A bit bland for my taste, though.
Average and middle of the road, but nowhere near the worst band ever.
I have a mate who likes them. Every time I get in his car he usually sticks them on. They are fecking dreadful and if you like them you deserved to be punched in the ears because they are clearly of no use to you.
I'd put them up there beside 30 Seconds to Mars on my hate list.

Yeah... because all the music you dont like must be universaly accepted as shit.People like you are wankers.
Big feck on your face.
The punching of the ears was a joke you muppet. They are still shit though and considering how many times I have heard them played over and over I'm not just passing comment on one three minute single I've listened to. Do you like 30 Seconds to Mars?Make your mind up, either big feck on my face or I'm a wanker, don't spend time wrestling over it.
I'm generally happy to accept the idea that anyone's entitled to listen to anything they want, and I find it tedious when people bang on about how much they hate perfectly acceptable fare like Coldplay and U2 but Nickelback is one band whose success I find completely baffling.
I can usually see why certain artists attract a mass audience and shift loads of records. Nickelback, on the other hand, are the worst kind of derivative shite seem to have fashioned a 15 year music career out of the exact same big-riff, stadium rock idea.
That pickle on facebook > Nickelback

I could pick 2 or 3 Coldplay and U2 songs that I wouldn't mind listening to but Nickelback? I just don't understand how they ever made it that big.
Sorry for editing just as you decide to reply masterI havnt heard enough of TSTM to have an opinion on them.
Because people have different music tastes to you maybe?
In fairness if Helen keller was still alive she could tell you that 30 Seconds To Mars are shit.
People like you are wankers.
Nickelback are good. Too bad, Remind me, and Rockstar are 3 essentials on my mp3.
I'll take Nickleback over any of the Cowell produced karaoke singing slime that infests the charts these days. At least they write their own songs and play their own instruments.
Lesser of two evils.

I would use the term "music" loosely there.
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
I love how your using lyrics to show how the music "bad".I would use the term "music" loosely there.

You are pathetic.
I'm not I posted that for my own amusement I think they are hilarious. You could just listen to them to find out why they are bad. Anyway why are you so offended with what I have posted in here?
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
It's understandable. When I was 21ish I was a total music snob. Wouldn't have ever even considered defending Nickelback but to be honest as you get older and start to mellow a bit, you just start to accept and understand that just because you don't like something, doesn't necessarily make it universally 'shit' and however vitriolic you may feel about your convictions the more immature it makes you seem.
Never again isn't bad song of theirs. I've also seen some pretty horrendous lyrics from all the supposed best bands.
It is shit though.
Because I hate people like you who dismiss a certain type of music or band or whatever "shit" just because they dont like it.
You would think, if it were so shit, that no one would like it, well guess what people do.
I'm not too fond of hardcore screamo for example but do I claim it's shit? No, of course I say I dont like it but I dont go and disrespect others music tastes by branding it shit and laughable and claiming anyone who likes it needs their ears bashed in.
They are the rock version of Britney Spears but that doesn't make them the worse in the world. Just a bit rubbish.
I hate people who state subjective opinions, as fact.
fecking hell the ears thing was a joke! What's the big deal about some randomer on the internets saying Nickelback are shit has it really upset you that much? I quite like Queens of the Stone Age but if someone here told me they are shite it doesn't matter I'll still listen to them. The OP was taking the piss out of Nickelback I just joined in.

Big feck on all their faces.
The fact that you cant even comprehend what I am saying says it all.fecking hell the ears thing was a joke!
And what does it say?
That your a fecking idiot.
Isn't that Lennon and McCartney? The hidden track on Abbey Road?I would use the term "music" loosely there.

Nickelback did a decent cover IMO.
fecking hell, chill lads.
It's alright Potato man. You like Nickelback, we get it. Sadly there's nothing we can do to change that, but there's no need to be so vitriolic.
I've never listened to a song of theirs I liked, therefore I've decided they are shit.
It's not 'lads' plural though is it?
You also wouldn't like £100 million so your opinion is decidely dodgy.
I said Nickelback are shit and made a joke about people who liked them. In response,
You're a wanker. You're pathetic. Big feck you on your face. You're an idiot.
What happens if they post factual opinions as the subject? Or objective opinions as conjecture?
Or cringeworthy lyrics?
It's not that I am upset that he has claimed they are shit, it is his pure ignorance to peoples music tastes that fecked me off. I hate people like that.
