Nickelback obviously sucks but idk how they became the band that everyone knows sucks

 

I love that they have a song that posits that if we all told the truth, didnt cry or hate each other then people would stop dying.

 

I think like Imagine Dragons they're inescapable

 

This is just my perspective speaking, but it's extremely easy to escape most of those types of bands. I can't remember the last time I've heard a Nickleback song and I honestly couldn't even tell you what Imagine Dragons sounds like at this point.

 

Nickelback is enough of a yesterday pestilence that its almost charming when one of their tracks come on, like an unfortunate story you can finally sorta laugh about.

Imagine Dragons can go right to hell.

 

not if you work a job where you're forced to listen to the radio all day

 

Or if you go to any sports event

 

well this is still an absolute slapper

 

They had so much potential

 

Yeah this song fucking rules and anyone who suggests otherwise is a fucking liar and a coward

 

Unless your subjected to mainstream radio

EDIT: I see others came before me lol

 

Not going to lie I’d also rather listen to this than any Queen song

 

Backed for How You Remind Me and only How You Remind Me

 

I doubt this is true but no rock band ever felt more created on a whiteboard to me than Nickelback. Like if there was an equivalent to those K-Pop companies that instead mass produces cliche rockidy rock bands, Nickelback would be their magnum epos.

 

The subsequent "Theory of a Deadman" vibes are strong with that one.

 

I have yet to be convinced that they aren't the same band.

 

3 Doors Down, Hinder, Daughtry, and Three Days Grace also come to mind.

 

I wouldn't put Three Days Grace in the same category, they were a bit more ~edgy~

 

Omg yeah 3 Doors Down

And Hoobastank

 

Early day 3 Days Grace definitely were edgier, but slowly seeped into "Park Rock"

 

I Hate Everything About You is a jam

 

this one was my fave

 

I have a weird dislike for 3 Days Grace which only got fueled more from The Used.

Let's journey back to about 2009. The Used were one of my favourite bands at the time and had a show in Toronto at was once an amazing venue called Kool Haus (R.I.P). Less than 15 days before the show, they flat out cancelled. No reasoning, nothing just cancelled the show and provided refunds.

Suddenly, less than a week later they're announced as an opening act for three days grace at a much higher cost for the ticket. As an angsty early 20's year old who had such disdain for 3DG, this only made things worse.

So what would have been a full set, with them headlining at a great venue, got turned into a 30-40 minute set at a terrible venue.

 

Probably not unpopular but I don’t know where else to post it: Kim Thayil is the best guitarist to come out of the grunge scene and one of the most underrated guitarists of the 90s

 

mccready is up there too but yeah, they're all pretty good
