Shitty Music. (The Nickelback Thread)

[Krazy]

Nothing. Them and their shitty types have their 15 minutes of fame over with. They'll be doing the casino circuit within a few years.

Cant believe how much money those shit balls are worth though. Flo-rida (oh, I get it! FLORIDA!) fucked up a very nice Bugatti. Hopefully they didn't prioritize their spending habits and will be filing chapter 11 soon (hence the casino gigs).

Second only to Kennedy as MTV's worst personality. At least Jesse Camp had the good sense to fade into obscurity and not pollute the airwaves on CNN as a prognosticator.
i seriously loved kennedy during the alternative nation days. i was 14, so there's that.

i think it was late junior year that they held that vj contest. i could barely understand the guy. he had this wannabe new york dolls image via street kids, but he grew up in affluent connecticut in private schooling.

and the dude who came in second went on to have a huge career.

[onthewall2983]

Kennedy is one of the few decent people, based on her thrashing of Rick Santorum and some of his ilk, on Fox News (although she's primarily on the business channel, and occasionally makes an appearance on the mothership). Has anyone read her book? I've seen it pop up on Kindle a few times and am a little interested in it.

I occasionally roll my eyes at what goes on in this thread, but imagining Jesse Camp slumming it on CNN makes it all worth it.

I hear you. The funny thing is, instead of trying to capitalize on the success of their massive hit, they actually became an angrier and dirtier group. They could have done a million Jump Arounds, but chose to go deeper down the hardcore route on their following albums.

(Bless you, Tony Hawk games, for having such awesome soundtracks.)

[bobbie solo]

HoP are far better than given credit for. Jump Around was good song on its own, its just played out beyond belief to where no fan of theirs ever wants to hear it again. They have tons of great hip hop in that aggressive, 90's boom bap sound. DJ Muggs has alot to do with how good they were. Hence, similar sound to Cypress Hill/Soul Assassins on some tracks:

I have never heard of the Chainsmokers and I hope I never will. I haven't heard of Twenty One Pilots. Seriously, where do these shit bands come from?

[Art Vandelay]

Unfortunately I recorded SNL just for Alec Baldwin doing Trump or Milissa McCarthy doing Sean Spicer, there were two Baldwin doing Trump and one Baldwin doing Bill O' Rielly (which was awesome) the unfortunate part was The Chainsmokers were the musical act. I hope that is my first and last experience with them. I watched it to give it a chance, my first thought was the sound was so thin do they really need three keyboard players for this? Then I was like the song is stupid, I hate the singer and when is this going to be over.

A perfectly fine "summer hit". My only pet peeve with it, is that when I was at places where all you can listen to is the mainstream radio stations, then you heard this song in every 2 hours. Then again, that's more of an issue with how mainstream radio stations operate.

[Haysey_Draws]

I tried to give Fallout Boy a chance as they were one of the bands playing before NIN at Reading Festival 2007...man were they awful. Like REALLY awful, Top of the Pops 1990's backing track lip syncing awful, but they did allow me to get right to the front and dead center for NIN 2 hours early, so i'll give them that.

Slightly off topic but a band i can't get behind...Biffy Clyro. On CD they sound alright, but every time i've caught them live (mainly supporting) they've been terrible, like a bunch of kids who'd just discovered guitars and tried covering their own songs live :confused:

[kel]

orgy is playing a white trash "festival" in burley, idaho. population nothing. it's a shitty town in the middle of nowhere. jesus, if you had told me *that* would happen 18, 19 years ago? damn.

I think there was an article on them some years back, it may have been posted in a NIN spotting thread since Trents tweet was brought up. They couldn't even pack a dive bar.

Their music, holy shit. It is not good. Listen at your own risk unless you're bored and want to make fun of something.

Yeah, they are MASSIVE over here in the UK. They headline a different festival here nearly every year...i'm from here and i just don't get it.

Just read about that on BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/41094852/taylor-swift-criticised-for-new-ticket-sale-scheme-after-trying-to-stop-touts) i'm really starting to dislike this women, she seem's very much in it for herself. Also the quote from a fan in that article "if you can't afford her album you can't afford tickets anyway" well fuck you, what if you didn't like the album but wanted to see her live? Or wanted to see her live over getting the album?

...i'm going back to not reading about her, i was less annoyed.

[SM Rollinger]

Petty and self absorbed, she is completely disconnected from reality.

How many times have we seen this sort of behavior from "pop stars"?

[Arcspiral]

I agree that all of the corporate sponsorship's are kind of gross ($63 for a CD???), but Depeche Mode did the same thing for their current tour. I bought a copy of Spirit to try and get a better place in line for tickets to that show (which was incredible by the way) but the pricing on some of those seats was utterly ridiculous. $650 to sit in the first 5 rows and not a seat cheaper than $200 to sit on the floor?!?! Stupid.

I'm certainly not trying to defend Taylor Swift but it's not like other bands, even bands we love, don't do this shit. It's all about the mighty dollar.

I would love to say "this is a cute summary of everything I hate about music," but it feels more tragic than that... it's like a poetic eulogy for the death of culture.

He's just saying that because he has an axe to grind against cool/hipster music, so endorsing an obviously shitty bar rock band like Nickelback probably feels "rebellious" from his perspective. It's just like when he tried to claim that Deep Purple was way better than Radiohead, lol. He's still trying to stick it to the Pitchfork crowd after years of feeling disrespected and mocked by them. He is trying to reject and undermine the aesthetic values of a scene that he feels has wronged him.

It honestly makes so much sense that Billy has become a bitter right winger who is susceptible to loopy conspiracy theories about the media and the powers that be, because it overlaps with his dumb ideas about music culture.

[Shadaloo]

I'd say the main reason is that he's flapped his gums about being "unappreciated" for a good twenty years now, so he sees that in them. He probably does respect them for shitting out marketable singles that get airplay, which to him epitomizes success. :/

The new album's now being listed as 'Billy' on streaming services from what I understand, incidentally. :P

For me personally, it's a toss-up between Machine Head and Burn as those 2 albums represent the band in two different line-ups. The former is the classic Mach II line-up of Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice while the latter features the Mach III line-up of Blackmore, Lord, Paice, David Coverdale, and Glenn Hughes.

Okay but what's the most famous/well regarded? Isn't Machine Head the big one?

[GulDukat]

lol...As I was typing that sentence in that post, I literally thought to myself "Pretty sure RhettButler would agree with him on this point actually." And lo and behold, I was right.

But come on, there's no way that could actually be true. I admit I've only heard a smattering of Deep Purple's music, but COME ON.

What's the best Deep Purple album? I will listen to it tonight and decide how it holds up against Kid A.

Deep Purple vs. Radiohead is really apples and oranges. Both are great in their own right. I personally prefer Deep Purple, but it's totally subjective. As for best album?

Machine Head is like their Zosa or Paranoid. That said, the first three albums of the Mach 2 lineup, In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head and the first album of Mach 3, Burn, are all considered classics of the genre.

[Mantra]

Alright fine, I'll listen to this Machine Head album I guess. If it sucks, I'm holding you personally accountable.

Aaaand pressing play now...

[Mantra]

Oh come on now, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!?!?!?!?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


EDIT1 -- This opening track is nowhere near as good as Everything In It's Right Place. Strike one.

EDIT2 -- The guitar solos on this shit are obviously very technically impressive, but ultimately it sounds stupid and cheesy and wanky. Given that Billy is such an avowed "guitar nerd" I could see how he could listen to this bullshit and be like "How could anyone argue that Radiohead has better guitar players than Deep Purple?!", which I personally find hilarious and charming in all it's obliviousness.

EDIT 3 -- oh god this second song is HORRIBLE!!! How did anyone ever enjoy this sort of trashy bar rock shit? What's the appeal of this bizarre nonsense? I feel utterly alienated to this shit. Oh come on now they're playing AN ORGAN SOLO ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

EDIT 4 -- Why are the songs so long? I'm barely wrapping the second song I think, and I just feel like, how am I going to make to the end? WHY does every song need five masturbatory solos? What exactly is achieved with this shit

EDIT 5 -- It's no wonder punk rock had to come along and deal with this situation.

EDIT 6 -- Guys, this music is not good. IT'S NOT GOOD. You did this to me. You subjected my ears to these sounds. Why? I'm a reasonably good person, I try to help people when I can, I show up to work on time, I'm friendly with people on the bus. I didn't deserve this.

EDIT 7 -- I'm not sure if I've actually heard any of Death Grips music, but nevertheless, Death Grips is a much better band than Deep Purple. Of this, I am sure.

EDIT 8 -- Oh THIS SONG???? I know this stupid fucking song. Smoke on the Water. That's who sang this bullshit? This song has RUINED guitar centers forever, and frankly I think the company could have a reasonable shot at suing this band for damages. This guitar riff is singlehandedly responsible for making those stores uninhabitable and driving off their business.

EDIT 9 -- No wonder Billy has guested on the Alex Jones show. This kind of music will do that to you.

EDIT 10 -- I don't even like music, to be perfectly honest. This is a terrible art form. Think about how much horrible music is out there. Almost all of it is horrible. How did humankind ever find the strength to persist with an artistic medium that has such a dismal success rate?

EDIT 11 -- I had been listening to Tricky's Maxinquaye before I switched to this, and the change was quite jarring.

EDIT 12 -- I'm on track 6 now, Lazy. You know, 70s blues rock really must have been a dire thing to experience first hand.

EDIT 13 -- Track 7 now, "Space Truckin'" I can actually sort of appreciate how stupid these lyrics are. I think these lyrics are the only redeemable thing I've encountered so far.

EDIT 14 -- I'm really glad that rock music is dead. All in all, I think it's a net gain.

EDIT 15 -- Oh time for a carnival drum solo!!!!

EDIT 16 -- Alright last song FINALLY!!! Maybe this one will be good. It's not too late!!! They could still redeem themselves.

EDIT 17 -- Ah yes, closing with a sad ballad type thing. Naturally.

EDIT 18 -- Actually I kind of like this last one sort of. My hypothesis is that it's cause I'm a big fucking wimp and I just can't take the HARD DRIVING ROCK of the previous bullshit songs, but this one appeals to my inner pansy.

EDIT 19 -- Alright that's it, the album is done and I'm really annoyed now, but anyway, there's no way in a million fucking years that fucking nonsense is better than Radiohead, are you fucking kidding me? William Patrick needs to broaden his horizons and stop pinning for a past that wasn't actually very good to begin with.

Anyway, Rhett and Void, you guys owe me for this shit. Someday in the future I may call on you for a favor, and I will expect you to remember my sacrifice here tonight and honor that call.

You actually sat down and listened to the entire album, so I'll give you credit for trying. If it's not your thing, it's not your thing.

But to say, Radiohead is better than Deep Purple is like saying, The Golden Girls is better than Boardwalk Empire. They aren't really comparable. That said, I do think the dated, cheesy intro to "Highway Star" is fucking glorious.

[fillow]

Seriously though, Radiohead are indeed better than Deep Purple. To me, to Mantra, to a lot of other people. You know, it's just, like, our opinion, man.
The Golden Girls/Boardwalk Empire analogy is waaaaaaay off. Are you suggesting Radiohead is some kind of older version of Imagine Dragons and One Direction?

[Mantra]

Yeah, radiohead vs deep purple is obviously a ludicrous comparison, which is why I thought it was so hilarious when Billy was like "How do people like this Radiohead band?! Their guitars are not impressive at all. Now Deep Purple, that's a band!"

All the singles from "Songs of experience" so far have been lackluster; i got nothing against this band (coincidentally i was listening today to my "Joshua Tree" deluxe edition...), but i think this album will be "shark sandwich".

this band seems to be done, shame...

[WorzelG]

I really can’t put into words how much I hate that Maroon 5 song, Don’t Wanna Know. My 9 year old hears pop music on his bus into school and plays YouTube pop playlists all the time. That song makes Ed Sheeran seem like a relief

[chuckrh]

I have tried but I really don't care for the National. Probably has something to do with the Hateful Fred connection. The Fred are definitely my least favorite band ever. They tend to bring out psychotic reactions. I had a former friend who I hired to work in my warehouse who was a fredhead. Made me listen to those assholes every single fucking day for a year & a half. I can never listen to them again. I accidentally caught them on Colbert a few weeks ago & they were still horrible. Now they have John Mayer making guitar player faces whilst playing really lame crap. I'm glad the fredheads haven't attempted a takeover here. There are a couple of other band sites I frequent where they have attempted takeovers. So lame & boring. I'm really glad that Trent & NIN are about as far away from that whole vibe as you can get.

[chuckrh]

...who are the hateful fred? and what do they have to do with the national?

the Hateful Fred is a name Robert Pollard of Guided by Voices came up with for the Grateful Dead. The connection is the National put together a 3 cd package of Fred (Dead) cover versions. Lots of artists I like contributed but the blame for the project goes to the National. With the exception of TV on the Radio I'm not wild about most the bands that came out of the NYC scene that spawned the National. Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Strokes, etc.

ah, ok. i was unfamiliar. i'm a casual GBV fan but i wouldn't have known about bob's nickname for the dead. i also hate the grateful dead (like, a lot) so i can understand why that would taint your view of the national.

aren't the national from ohio? i wouldn't file them in with bands like TVOTR, YYY, or the strokes; they're way too mellow to be associated with acts like those that thrive on high-energy momentum.

the only national album i truly love is "high violet" and i think that's ultimately because of how/when it came into my life. their stuff before that is fine, but i never feel compelled to listen to it, and their stuff after it has been, again, fine, but i never feel compelled to listen to it.

all of this to say that you are 100% allowed to not like them, i'm just trying to sort through some things.

[Halo Infinity]

I’ll never understand the love for Radiohead. I still play Pablo Honey from time to time though, and dig it. The rest bores the shit out of me.

Once in awhile ill go to YouTube and play one of their albums or concerts. Usually can’t make it 15 minutes in.
Even though I eventually got around to liking Radiohead, I also actually understand where you're coming from. It was The Bends and OK Computer that really roped me in though. It's not that I thought they were bad either, I just didn't think it would be something I'd get into.

At least you gave it a shot though. Pablo Honey really grew on me too.

I have some friends that are really into the National. I've tried but they just didn't resonate with me. There is so much good music to listen to that if something doesn't grab me I tend to move on. I'm older than dirt but the kids in my life think I have pretty good taste, haha. I have been into GBV a real long time. Robert is hilarious when he goes on drunken rants. Keep that Hateful Fred reference in your pocket. It REALLY irritates deadheads! :D

[Mantra]

The National are just incomprehensible to me.

I've had to accept the fact that their fans and I seem to exist on totally different frequencies, and that we'll never be able to understand each other. I've known so many people (people with good taste in music) who are huge fans and will send me songs while telling me, "Okay, try this one! You've GOT to like this one. If you can listen to this song and not feel moved by the power and the emotion of it, you must be dead inside." And so I listen and just shrug my shoulders and think "Well then, I guess I'm dead inside, cause this seems boring as shit to me."

I think there's just a fundamental difference in wiring between us.

the first time i heard a national song and it clicked for me, it was "blood buzz ohio" and i had just gotten out of a four-year abusive relationship. it was on the radio while i was working and i just broke down sobbing. that whole album (high violet) is so tied up in that recovery period for me that i'm very attached to it. but like i said before, i don't really love any of their other stuff. none of it makes me feel much. so maybe it's a context thing?

[Space Suicide]

Since they revoked headphone usage at my work I’m at the mercy of co workers playing their shit on WiFi speakers. The one guy plays Bassnectar nonstop and frankly after a 2 month period I finally came to terms with I hate what I hear. It’s obnoxious, loud and repetitive. Makes me value electronic musicians I adore even more.

Where do you work? And WTF with that headphone/speakers policy?

In a warehouse. We have always allowed headphone usage up until about September and it was revoked for both an influx of order mistakes as well as general safety due to forklifts being about. I understand it but it just sucks. I’m considerate and won’t blare (aka play) my moody dark shit or extreme metal genres since I know people don’t wanna hear it. Then there’s others who play modern rap and electronic shit like I last mentioned without batting an eye. I don’t mind music but an assault of sound from 3 sources and all different genres gets annoying when people play them loud.

I listen to my wireless ear buds when I’m in the other warehouse anyways because the time needs to pass.

I’m productive enough even with it all. I work at a very relaxed and chill place so they encourage you to do it if it allows you to work. I just don’t think people have to be as obnoxious as they are with it.

hahahaha i was like super into dashboard freshman year of high school, but i much preferred it when it was just a guy and a guitar and sad songs. once it became a full-fledged band, i totally lost interest. i saw them play with the black keys & beck about 13 or 14 years ago and it was just so boring.

Holy shit that is pretty fucking awful. I'm gonna have to agree with rock being a joke atm. Which really sucks because as a genre i really like rock-n-roll in its various forms. It is pretty sad when the basic rock genre is generally garbage.

I mean, she already ripped off her whole image from Tori Amos and Hope Sandoval, her latest album title from Iggy Pop, and even shamelessly includes a bid for a Coachella slot on her latest album.

She needs a new career. One that requires zero originality whatsoever..

is Lana Del Rey the one who is supposed to be really shit live?

[Amaro]

haha Radiohead seeking 100% credit is shameful, really. The similarities are not so strong that it is that deserving. GTFO.

I probably would have never noticed enough or maybe any of their likeness on my own to compare the two. I love some Radiohead, but I aways have really hated “Creep”.

@ Radiohead: yeah, something like that.

@ Lana Del Rey live: I can’t say from firsthand experience, but per live footage in more recent years I’ve seen, she’s obviously done more than shown up her bad national TV debut exposures. It gets really old seeing people still bring that up, or rather actually use it against her still.

I don't really get his appeal? The looks? The sound? His lyrical message? His age? Country of origin? His acting spot on GoT?

I fail to see what captures everyone's fandoms for the guy. He's a boring Top 40 chart maker with no actual particularly easy to spot popular trait.

to be fair it would suck enormously to have to go to a stadium to see mark lanegan, small clubs are where great artists shine, stadiums not so much.I don't think he'd ever really be playing stadiums or arenas, but he should be better known than he is. He deserves to be playing theaters, not 400 capacity clubs. Don't get me wrong, I've seen him a few times and the shows were great. My point is he is sorely underrated.

[imail724]

The problem with Mark Lanegan is he has zero stage presence. I've seen him twice now, and both times he sounded great, but as far as the show itself it was pretty boring.

[Krazy]

I'm baffled by the fact that he's selling out stadiums .

I uhhhh... didn’t even know he was playing stadiums. Had to look at your dates and sure enough. WTF??? And that Eminem song shouldn’t have happened with him. It’s awful.

lol@everyone misspelling his last name. Not sure if that’s intentional.

My sister says the reason he's selling out stadiums is because he's popular. What kind of fucking answer is that? So are the fucking Kartrashians. Mark Lanegan might not have much of a stage presence but he can sing his fucking ass off. The guy should be a bigger deal but I'd rather have him be the guy at clubs.

I think those days of great stadium bands are pretty much done. Who can we turn to create these kind of spectacles? U2? Yeah, right. Their music hasn't been great for years to be worthy for them to be seen in stadiums. Back then, there was Pink Floyd, the Stones, the Who, Paul McCartney, the Boss, Tina Turner, Queen, KISS, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, and ELP. It was great to see bands like the Cure, Pearl Jam, and Depeche Mode sell out stadiums despite their reluctance as I'm sure they wouldn't do it now. I just don't understand this air of mediocrity being the ones to play places like the Rose Bowl, Dodger Stadium, and Soldier Field. I just don't get it.

[Krazy]

I’ve never been to a stadium show. Considering I hate festivals, and think football games are a million times better on TV than going there I don’t have one reason to think they’re enjoyable.

I read that U2 360 tour was pretty cool though. Probably a better setup being in the middle of the venue than an end stage layout.

this band called walk the moon.

it's hard for me to describe this, but their music reminds me of these lds (mormon) dances that were held in church gymnasiums when i was in high school. like disney channel "rock" or some shit? i dunno, but it fucking blows.

I saw one of their lame videos on MTV Live or something. I was like... "what the fuck is this shit?" I try to watch an hour's worth of music videos on that channel and I found myself dealing with ultimate nightmare. I'm becoming my parents in their reaction to the music I was listening to as a teenager.

Only reason Ed Sheeran is big is because he opened for Taylor Swift for just over half a year and her fanbase ate that stuff up. My teenage daughter came back from one of the shows thinking he was wonderful. Kinda put me in a strange place to be honest. I hate Taylor Swift with a 'red' hot passion, but Sheeran can actually play an instrument from what I have seen. So, its like, okay he is he an actual musician and not just 100% manufactured like most pop artists. She played me some of his stuff and I just asked "Why can't you like Jack White or something..." Her response was "Jack who?" We were basically done at that point.

[Haysey_Draws]

Both Taylor Swift and Ed whatever his name is are basically occupying Wembley Stadium this June for a number of weeks...which is where my go to cinema is, so i'll have to avoid the area and go to my next easiest one to get to (on the other side of London)...though that'll be difficult on the tube when going home from work as i have to go through it...fan-fucking-tasic.

Taylor Swift is doing 3 shows at Gillette Stadium here outside of Boston. THREE SHOWS! They added two dates when the first show hasn't even sold out yet. It is like why would you do that if the first one still has a ton of seats available?

Yeah it seem's like madness to me. It was bad enough here when Adele played 4 shows (i made the mistake to booking to see a film on one of the nights...i'd never seen it so busy) and i can tolerate Adele so wasn't that bothered by the crowd, the thought of Taylor and Ed's fans with that many people...YIKES!

I sat through Breaking Benjamin last night opening for A7X, what utter crap. I dont get the appeal of these guys, and honestly i thought half their songs were Chevelle tracks.

Their last 2 tracks were a total cringe-fest. One of the band members started swinging a lightsaber around on stage , and they wheeled out this percussion stand and played the imperial march, part of schisim, smells like teen spirit and another song i cant remember. Im a nerd, but this was total DWEEB.

Then they proceeded to bring a bunch of elementary school kids on stage for diary of jane. I hate that song. At this point I tried to picture in my mind marilyn manson circa 1996 bringing a group of kids on stage to help sing Lunchbox, and how awesome that would have been.

These guys suck, sorry.

They have good songs but I really don't like some of their acoustic songs and they get overplayed at times. Jeff Bridges saying "I hate fucking Eagles man" was something I'm sure a lot of people wanted to say. I don't even have them in my top 100-200 greatest bands/artists ever.

That is depressing, I saw them in a tent at Reading festival 2013 just before they blew up (the tent wasn’t that busy) and they were one of those genre hopping bands like they couldn’t concentrate for more than 2 minutes. It must be related to how people listen to music these days, streaming, going from genre to genre. I don’t mind something utilising different genres but at least have some finesse about it. Actually to clarify I’m talking about going genre to genre within a song not an album.

Human is (was?) awesome live IMHO. Check it out on YT where they played it as a festival (Rock AM Ring?) as an opener in I 2009. There was a really cool version of them too on some MTV music awards thing as well with some awesome production right around that time.
