I love ya Casca but Nickelback has co-opted all that is annoying about contemporary music and therefore has become a cliche and an object of hatred by those that cannot deal with the trite and worn out fabric of popular music and a tired pop music culture.
Hey, hey, HEY! Don't you *DARE* compare Nickleback to King's X! King's X gave us 5 perfect albums in a row: Out of the Silent Planet; Gretchen Goes to Nebraska; Faith, Hope, Love; King's X; and Dogman. I'm not so fond of their newer stuff, but even those are heads and shoulders above most anything else.
Compare Nickleback to Creed, instead. Puddle of Mudd, perhaps. Foo Fighters wouldn't be too much of a stretch. Some talentless hacks like that. Maybe if one of them sucks a shotgun, a Nirvana comparison would suffice.
(Yeah, I said it, Nirvana sucked. Hated their overrated asses. Was glad to see Cobain assume room temperature. Good riddance!)
Wow, didn't expect to start a row. It's not like he dissed Little Anthony and the Imperials, or The Five Satins. Sheesh. And not one explanation for for burritos and a box of Durex regulars? Priorities men, priorities.
What's with the Nickelback hate? I loves me some Nickelback: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsUmtULy7hc

ReplyDeleteI mean, good for you if you dig their songs.
But many now find them to liken a stabbed liver.
Try and understand.

Nickleback is just warmed-up King's X, and the original is better.
ReplyDeleteSorry.

ReplyDelete3:00 AM burrito , and box of condoms ! been there done that ! on the way home from the nickleback concert ! LOL ! ; ) > SMIBSID
ReplyDeleteSpewed Dr. Pepper thru my nose thanks to you, Mr. SMIBSID. A pox upon your crank wind-up 8-track machine.

On a positive note, ZZ Top is playing in Boise in late August.
ReplyDeleteHad to google Durex. Thought it was for motion sickness. Now that would contrast a burrito.
ReplyDeleteDoug, ZZ Top was my first concert over thirty-five years ago.

It's the hip thing to hate Nickelback now. I agree, they are such losers. Millions of dollars and private jets.
ReplyDeleteWhat awful, massively popular music and totally sold out concerts.
They're no Taylor Swift thats for sure.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, never thought I would see Kings X here. Your stock went up Rog.
I just tried that URL. "Make a dreadful noise unto the..." No, that's not it.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I despise just about all of what that sounds like. Not sure of the style. Is that what "rock" is these days?
