I guess I'm in the minority, but I feel like there are much worse things out there than Nickleback. I don't particularly enjoy their music, but they sell out arenas and make a shit load of cash. So what the fuck. There are much worse things to listen to, i.e. Lady Gaga or any other pop/dance garbage.
YES I THINK LIMP BIZKIT IS WORSE THAN CREED. At least Creed has Mark Tremonti, a good guitar player while Limp Dickshit has Wes Borland, an overrated pseudo-celebrity who used good make-up to cover up the fact he was a mugging two-chorder. Plus there was the whole tirade of teenage girl who actually thought their none-too-bright balding fat-assed Florida swamptrash lead singer was the hottest guy on earth. Really? What's near-sightedness like? Creed was intolerable because they were an "Urr Band" (The name I give bands in where the singer uses only vowels in his vocals, so every word sounds like "Urr") and because the only bigger douche in the late 90's than Fred Durst was Scott Fucking Stapp. Nickelback DOES have good sings here and there if you look hard enough (Side of a Bullet). They just drowned is a sea of gravel-voiced ballads used for torturing terror suspects.
There are plenty of shitty acts out there that make money. I think it's more of a genre thing. If Nickelback just stopped trying to play Rock, they wouldn't be hated so much. Then again, I loved Sammy Hagar more than David Lee Roth so I'm a heretic anyways.
When you run out of money to buy longer belts and/or you can't find a hammer and awl to punch holes in the belt you have. Being someone who makes an effort to out of the house with actual pants with no holes, and shirts lacking stains and having all of their buttons (if I'm not wearing a t-shirt that is also unstained, unwrinkled, and doesn't say "i'm in it for the tits") I don't get it either. You're in public for fuck's sake. Dress like you have some self respect.
"Have some self respect" Exactly. Clean and not smelly and...just a general appearance of actively participating in the world instead of just going through the motions.
In my opinion, you can say that about every other fake metal/rock band on the radio now, they all sound the same, and I can't stand any of em.
On the topic of slobs, I can't stand those Wal-Mart grade slobs. You know, the ones who wear half a tank top and track pants they bought when Coke was still sold in glass bottles. They buy bread, eggs, and a dozen Monster four-packs. Are these people unaware that we can see them? It's a butterfly effect: where there are slobs, more are to follow. Jeans are as low as seven bucks, even the homeless could afford them. Dignity, where art thou? America, meet Rob Ford:
They took an awesome classic rock song and destroyed it. It's the modern day equivalent of Miley Cirus singing "Let It Be" while hate-fucking a poster-board cutout of Kim Jung-Il with a phallic-shaped GI Joe.
Don't tell him that. According to that megalomaniac he, alone, has been the influence on practically every music artist of the last ten years. Even though his band is just a New Order ripoff and nothing more.
Blasphemy. The Killers aren't fit to suck INXS's collective dick. If you can listen to Never Tear Us Apart without wanting to belt it out in a heartfelt yet flamboyant manner, your life must be as sad and joyless as your soul. I actually quite like the Killers, and I'm not the hugest INXS fan in the world, but to even include them in the same sentence is abhorrent to me. Also, this is catchy as hell. edit: also, Currer Bell has a perfect chest. I am in awe.
I saw this pop up on my Facebook newsfeed this morning. A woman in my hometown is making these as stocking stuffers. The irony just about killed me. Spoiler
I thought of something similar, except instead of the Leafs it's Ryan Lochte saying "Jeah!" I'd make millions.
