Is Nickleback really that bad? Not really a rock fan. I've read similar assessments before, or allusions to how horrible they were, even jokes about 'em, as in "punishment by being forced to listen" to their music. Yet they're evidently still alive and kicking after 30 years.

Is that rock what they do? As Dave Grohl once said " Nickelback walks into a bar... there's no punchline because ruining music isn't funny". I posted it because I find it a funny article

I have one of their CD's, inherited it with the house and no one who's lived here before will own up to buying or listening to it.

Anyways, I'll pop it in every so often, and with the first song I'll be like, "This isn't so bad, why do they get so much flack." But then I'll wind up skipping half the songs on their disc for being too annoying or grating.

So no, not that bad on the whole, or they wouldn't all have mansions now would they? But some of their songs, yes some of it is that bad.

I googled "who likes nickelback" and only found answers like "lots of people according to their sales figures" but no actual answers.

The AI says it's "people who like mainstream rock" but won't provide a citation for that claim.

Maybe it's just Canadians? Has to be more, they sell a lot of tickets and units. Maybe they're like huge in Indonesia or something

My younger sister likes Nickleback, she had quite a collection of their CDs as a teenager, but never put any of their posters on her walls. She also always listened to them with her headphones on.

What I find funny about this is that I regard Nirvana with the same level of distaste...

People hate Nickelback because when they got huge, they weren't musically good at all. The music was simple and had no craft behind it beyond finding catchy hooks, and it was at least superficially similar to lots of other rock-revival bands that maybe had one talented member but otherwise could barely play their instruments. It was the end point, the snake swallowing its own tail, of the organic rise and fall of grunge.

And you heard it all the time. The Nickelback hate was in large part due to having to listen to "Photograph" every five songs on the radio and every four on late-night VH1; people hated Maroon 5 for the same reason. They felt like a creation of their label's marketing department, famous for being famous without being famous, if that makes sense. It was like... you'd turn on the radio, and there's Nickelback, because the label cut some deal with the conglomerate that owned 60% of the contemporary rock stations on your coast.

And Chad Kroger (Kruger? whatever) seems to not have the detachment that people want. If you're a brilliant artist and musician, you can be a massive wanker and get away with it. If you're a guy who's famous for braying like a sheep over a 4/4 beat and a basic chord progression, you need to have some level of irony about your own wealth and fame. He doesn't.

That's a long answer. The short answer is this:

Two songs, both hits. One played through the left speaker, one through the right. They are exactly the same with different lyrics. That is why people hate them.

Hating Nickleback just became the trendy thing to do, people hopped off one bandwagon and onto another..
and Props to them for having a sense of humor about it.

Just wondering what percent of the AH got those free lung darts?

They have mansions yes. they sold albums at some point. Some where. It's like with The Scorpions here in Germany. They had one number one here with wind of change. That was it. But people in Peru just love them.

Seriously dude, learn to crouch, bending over like that is just going to get you a bad back and a headache.

I mean, that only looks like a three foot drop, if the saw has proper safety features that work as designed, he should be fine enough to worry about his posture.
