Nice, someone else who thinks he has a superior music taste to everyone else. Well done.

Are the worst band ever no, are they everyones taste again no. Some people like them, hate them or are indifferent to them and as everyones taste in music is different no one can say they have better taste than someone else. Everyone is an individual when it somes to music and it will always be that way.

I'm a big Nickelback fan, and I'm surprised at the ignorance of some people. They're not accepting of anything they don't like.

What's up with that?

Awful, no doubt about it.

But these are worse (it gets really good at 2:46):


Nice moves, you shockwave haircut freaks.

How do you want people to accept Nickelback? I think they are shit IMO of course, not stating it as fact. Although it may be fact.

As for the video above, holy shit:lol: that dance beat just comes out of nowhere:lol:

When I said accepting, I didn't mean Nickelback specifically. Just in general. It's people like that goin around sayin "oh I don't like it so it's shit" which really pisses me off.

I wasn't talking in general. My shit comments where specifically aimed at shit Nickelback. I don't really see that as ignorant since they are shit. That is my opinion and if you call me ignorant then you are ignorant for not respecting my right to call them shit.

Go on to youtube 5 times a day for 2 years and listen to "Rockstar". Then you'll know.

The band members should all be lined up and shot, just for being responsible of letting that utter abortion of a song reach the light of the day.

Some people actually like Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie etc and other shit movies. That doesn't hinder the fact though that they are absolutely fecking awful.

It's the same with music. People who listen to Nickelback are generally soulless people with no real music taste. They obey what the radio tells them to listen to .

I've got a feeling Creed had some sort of Christianity thing going on. This makes them worse even before the music is heard.

'Is' Nickelback the worst band ever? Really?

Anyway, no I don't think they are. Not that I particularly like them though. Just that there are actually worse bands out there in my opinion.

I quite like Nickelback. They were the support act when I went to see Bon Jovi in Croke Park and I thought they were quite good. I like How You Remind Me, Hero and Rockstar.

It's almost as if you've set out specifically to piss Nearco off.

The thread title should say 'Are Nickelback the worst band ever?', and it's annoying me to no end.

Creed were a lot worse than Nickleback.
Nope, at least Creed had a particular niche and a particular storytelling perspective. Which was the diabolical niche known as Christian Rock, but it's still better than what Nickleback are, which is generic go nowhere formula radio rock minus the niche.

I heard that the Christian thing with Creed was just a gimmick, and the singer was a actually complete cnut who just got pissed all the time.
