They are definitely are one of the strongest lyrically and musicianship-wise. They just lack any excitement by putting out so many tracks so quickly.

I think the buyers outweigh the dislikers in any band this size.

Pop has always been like this, make something short, sweet , simple and catchy, thats it.

People enjoy music for a million different reasons. This music is as real as anything else and its a egotistical musical fan who'll ever say anything like that. I'm not saying you have to like them, or any other band for that matter, but to claim that you haven't been "brainwashed" somehow inferring the fans are stupid is a very poor argument. Music is subjective. I personally love some short, sweet, catchy songs, I'll never apologize for that and I'm sorry you seem to have a problem with that....you must be missing out on a lot of music.

First of if you are suggesting Nickelback's music is simple, very direct and doesnt have layers upon layers of depth, I'd mostly agree. But to suggest a song like "Too Bad"( a song that is written by Chad Kroeger, about his father walking out on him and deeply hurting him) isn't real or from the heart/soul, well you're simply wrong. Also, some of the most iconic and legandary songs of all time, are "simple" and "catchy", but strike a cord with the world.

Like a certain Bon Jovi CD would say "100 million .. fans can't be wrong". First off that phrase was originally from an Elvis album Second, just because a certain segment of the music buying public has the same general taste doesn't mean a majority of people like the band. Even if that many people agreed on Marilyn Manson I wouldn't say it for them, and I really like that band. (and before MLIAS comes in saying I'm taking things too seriously, I know it's just a tagline, I'm responding to an unironic use) Thirdly I don't like Bon Jovi either In fact they were pretty much the same thing for 80-90s rock radio as Nickelback is for today's.

Like every Hall Of Fame band, Nickelback will mix in their serious and fun sides. A little too much of either would spell the end of this band in my opinion.

Gains since Monday, via Nielsen: Alternative +13 Active +67 Mainstream +21 Not a bad start for only two days of service. that was the last information i had for the song about its run at rock stations, do we have anything new? actually my question is at what position is this song right now? (i mean on all the charts Alternative, Active and Mainstream)

I'm waiting to see if a bunch of 30 year old drunks in bars (considered "Hot Adults," right?) take this to the top of that chart in a few months. THE Summer anthem if I've ever heard one.

Pop has always been like this, make something short, sweet , simple and catchy, thats it. So wait. You hate the band, yet you came into this post. KNOWING you hated the band, just to bash other people for liking it? That makes you just as dumb and ignorant as alot of the people who like that short sweet and to the point music. To be honest, I think that the people who are moreso "brainwashed" are the people that "hate it" so much. About 90% of the people that I've talked to that say they hate Nickelback just claim that every song sounds the same, and that the radio overplays it, and etc. It's become "cool" to hate on popular bands. Hell if say Two Door Cinema Club got really popular and was played all over the place, they'd gain more haters. It just goes with fans. Fan's will grow with haters. There's always gotta be that person that, because they like to be different, hates on something that everyone else likes. I'm not saying at all that you have to like it, just don't come in here telling other people that it sucks. Because honestly, I wouldn't post in a thread if I absolutely hated the band.

People go looking for what they want to post in. I found something worth responding to that hadn't been addressed yet, and I posted. Why don't you mind your own business? Oh wait, looking back on other posts, you had the same thinking as the guy I addressed. So once again I must ask, what the f*ck are you doing in here?

The difference is they weren't resurrecting extinguished ill will just to throw in their 2 cents. They were making constructive posts about the chart progress of the song. Look, I agree with you that tbs made a poor, cliched post. Am I that guy? No. So don't tell me I share his crappy opinion. I don't think just because someone has a negative opinion, that they should never speak it. We can say his opinion is bad, but never silence him for negativity alone.

I don't think just because someone has a negative opinion, that they should never speak it. We can say his opinion is bad, but never silence him for negativity alone. He came into the thread first of all, stating that the band "all together sucks". Then went on to say that the people that like it are brainwashed into liking it. That's not expressing an opinion, that's just attacking the band in general. You can have a negative opinion about the song, or the band, but don't come into the thread KNOWING you hate the band, and telling the people in there that like the music that they're stupid for liking it.

Of course it's an opinion, it's just a really bad one, which I think we can all agree on. I think that's why the post wasn't replied to that much, though it was, in fact, addressed by MLIAS. That was just a playful way of saying "I can't believe you like this band". I know the music is genuinely written and performed, I just think it's horrible and derivative.
I entirely agree with this. ???

If we have to defend someone's right to say something sucks then we also have to defend someone's right to say that person sucks. You can't pick and choose.
