Since we’re still talking about nickelback. They’ve always been cringe but let’s be honest, they have some songs that aren’t terrible. It’s not something I choose to listen to but some of their songs are great for intros, like in 06, actually a perfectly fitting song for that intro and gives me chills every single time I watch it.
I think they just reminded everyone of so many other bands back then, people were sick of bands like Creed and nickelback felt very similar to those bands and were kinda late to the game but they had a ton of success anyway.
Anyway.. there’s a game in a few hours
Yup. All of this. Pretty sure there are nickelback “haters” but then a song comes on in the car and since no one is there with them, they jam out and bob their head
They’ve got some garbage songs for sure. Whatever that “rockstar” song is. Ughhh. That one is vomit worthy. But some classic rock tunes with good crunchy riffs. Chad the lead singer sometimes doesn’t come across too well either, so that doesn’t help the aura around the band.
I think what really kind of put them on the hate radar is their first really big hit “How you remind me” was overplayed more than any song I can think of at the time. It was played on almost every radio station it seems. People got sick of them lol
Like them or not. We should be proud of how well they’ve done as Canadian performers. It’s not easy to be famous on the world stage as a Canadian artist. They are few and far between
Moving on. Go oilers. Crush the sens. I want goaaaaalzzzz
