I honestly never understood how people don't like Nickelback. Sure, if you're not into rock, it's something different but if you like rock, what stops one from liking them? Their songs have great instrumentals and spot-on delivery

You're reaching levels of contrarian I only expect from Armond White, jesus christ.

How the fuck am I supposed to be a contrarian if I liked their music since hearing it for the first time? Only a few years ago did I hear that a lot of people actually didn't like them but not in a "nah, not my thing" kind of way but rather a "FUCK nickelback" way
>>84876780
has there ever been a worse performance by a "famous" person?
>>84876869
They got a ton of shit because all their earlier songs sounded the same. They've gotten a lot better with more recent albums, but the damage has already been done.

/got/ was a mistake
>>84876651
yeah I've never understood it either there are plenty of way worse acts around
performance is tight and sound is spot on
>>84876651
It's just an easy punchline for people to regurgitate. Like horse jokes for SJP.

ASCENSION, MILLENNIUM!

People joke about Nickelback being a "diverse" band but come on they are. What other band that has gotten into the mainstream pop charts after releasing a couple raw grunge albums then release this melodic acoustic instrumental track that?

Funny enough their album which made them into the mainstream (All the right reasons) was dedicated to the Pantera Guitarist and they have some pretty heavy riffs on there.

>tfw we will never get a song sung by Peake nor will he write a full album in the style of this acoustic masterpiece
I don't understand the "omg nickelback is so bad" meme, their only popular song that is really bad is Photograph, but is as bad as Best of You from Foo Fighters.

They have some really good emotional songs as well as some pretty solid hard rock tunes

Dark Horse and Here And Now are legendary albums
I think the problem is that regular pop listeners don't like any kind of vaguely rock-like elements in music, for them they can't tell the difference between Nickelback and black metal. Whereas if you're someone who actually like rock/metal music, Nickelback are probably not hard enough for you to enjoy. They end up not pleasing anyone.

I fail to see why "sounded the same" is supposed to be bad though. linkin park's first two albums pretty much sounded the same too. after they started changing it up, fans were pissed as fuck. just check out the recent hate for the new song they did with that female singer
>>84878407
I always saw them as diverse but even if they're not, who the fuck cares as long as they deliver good songs?
>>84878922
as a nickelback fan, I approve of this. tried to listen to it several times and just fucking hate it

I like all kinds of genres, including rock and metal. a good song is a good song, doesn't matter whether it's "hard enough" or not. fuck, I like rihanna's songs but it doesn't take a genius to notice that "work work work work work work" is a fucking retarded-ass song
