NFL fans trying to ban Nickelback from halftime show

[QUOTE=Scotchair;33117717]I like some of Nickelback's riffs, but their lyrics are some of the worst I've ever heard. Listen to "photograph" it's fucking horrendous.[/QUOTE]
Fuck, that's by them?
Whever im in the car with my dad and that song plays on the radio I start yelling as hard as i can to get him to change it.
I only do that when I hear THAT piece of trash.
Well, if it isn't Nickleback, who would you put in instead?
Serious question, I don't know if there's any really good people who could replace these guys nearby in Detroit.
Personally I'd say Creed, just so I could get another Creed Shreds video out of it.

For some reason i associate nickleback with 3 day old bad pizza...
Fuck this. From now on, the United States should only import music from the Europe & Australia.
I mean seriously, name one decent band besides Rush that came from somewhere other than those and the US.

Also, to clense the ears of this thread, I present the musical stylings of Peter Gabriel-

Covering a Ray Davies song, for extra beautiful.
Nickelback is not even worth a Pennyback

Arcade fire, Metric, Broken Social Scene, and Neil Young.
Hey look a band wagon

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;33116064]Why do so many people hate them? They're just a band.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty indifferent about Nickelback, but they get a lot of shit because their music really is the definition of "generic rock." They've had a few (arguably) decent hits, but they really aren't unique in any way beyond knowing how to perform well live.
That said, fuck the haters, I love this song:

This thread reeks of blind, band wagon hate.

'Band' being the operative word.

Why would French guys want to go to Detroit of all places?[/QUOTE]
Because Detroit played a major part in the history of House?
[QUOTE=Redcow17;33111909]You guys are gay.
They aren't even as bad as you're making them.

They're actually decent, but this is not halftime material one bit.
I think opinion of them may vary on region, but if you're someone like myself who's heard more than enough worth's of "Butt Rock" you're going to absolutely hate them.
[B]I fucking hate butt rock[/B]
How about a band that's actually from Detroit?
I nominate Electric Six.

Hell yeah. I don't particularly like football but I would tune in just to watch them play.

I kinda like Nickelback, except when they're singing about boozing, fucking, drinking, having sex, sniffing coke, hiring some bitches and drinking booze.
...What, they only sing about those things?
I kinda hate Nickelback.
I live close to where Nickelback came from. They ran over my friend's dog 10 years ago. Dicks.
[QUOTE=Combin0wnage;33115671]What's going to happen if they play in Detroit:

The only situation where "Nickelback" and "rock" should be used in the same sentence.
I think you guys talking about E6 will find they're not some comedy band who've been playing the same two songs since you first heard them. They're a very innovative band that never sticks to the same sound, and whatever they do, it's got their own magical twist. They don't get the attention they deserve, and if they replaced Nickelback, it'd be fantastic.

[QUOTE=V12US;33115770]What's so bad about Nickelback? Are they bad playing live or something? I've checked some of their songs and they don't seem all that bad.[/QUOTE]
They aren't bad. They're just the epitome of bland generic radio rock and they're so mediocre they go back to the suck zone. I mean like with Metallica and Lou Reed's new album, Lulu, which everyone is calling a pile of shit, I can still respect what they're doing a little because they're trying something new even though it does sound like shit. Nickleback hasn't evolved in any way at all and they just do nothing for me.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;33108738]I apologize on behalf of Canada for this awful band. Still, we produced Rush so that more than makes up for it.[/QUOTE]
yeah but you also produced justin bieber and celine dion
nickelback would be good if they weren't trying to be like mötley crüe
seriously, when are they going to realize that their glory days are over and so's their stone-washed jeans
[QUOTE=7DeadlySyns;33109266]Rush definitely makes up for it. But I think you're still in debt due to Justin Bieber.[/QUOTE]
And Avril Lavigne :suicide:
...Damn, sorry Canada, but Rush doesn't make up anymore for all the bullshit artists you've been throwing lately.
Well, let's not talk about how many awful artists America has thrown out the last decade.

I personally hate Ke$ha more than Justin Bieber.
Also Rebecca Black if it counts :v:

The White Stripes (I'm not a huge fan of them, but it would definitely be better than Nickelback)
Also Nickelback are from Alberta, so I don't see why being from Detroit is a requirement.
Nickelback? No! Quarterback!
Green Bay is going to shit on them anyways.
