Yeah something like that...IMO of course I think Journey had more variety even in the 80's and moved it around better.

I saw them as support in Cardiff, and they were ok. Lots of pyro I seem to remember. I think they get bad press because their music is used in adverts, and sounds a bit 'Corporate rock' ... they should drink more and do crazy shit. :pullhair: :guitar::drummin::dm:

I dunno... I don't really think it's crap, but I think it has something maybe to do with them being too safe or TOO mainstream.

I'd love to hear Chad Kroeger do some growls or something. And no, i'm not joking. He seems like the kind of vocalist who could pull it off.

Well if Nickelback played "Burn it to the Ground" for half-time I know I would get up off my duff and yell/scream...that is a pretty cool song.


Evidently the man who spearheaded this online petition, Dennis Guttman, suggested Kid Rock as a suitable replacement. I am assuming this suggestion came because KR is from Detroit, not because KR has anything less mainstream.................

While I am not a huge Nickelback fan, there are a few songs that I do like by them. And I agree with Magic about Burn It To The Ground. Good song.

Hey, at least it's rock. :grinthumb

I swear I never heard "Burn it to the Ground" until today...



OK, so now's there's two Nickelback songs I like...

Not a bad song, at all. :)

BTW, this is the other song I like...



So, what is there not to like?

I mean it's just good ol' modern rock - no more or no less....

nothin' to freak out about...

Sports fans should get upset when they start playing Jay Z

and the Black Eyed Peas
:mad

That shit can cause a multitude of people to get pissed off! :heheh:

If Everyone Cared isn't a bad song, it's probably the only Nickelback song I still like.
