Anyone catch nickelbacks new music video? its just showing a bunch of clips of other people singing thier song, "rockstar", on the streets. The catch is that mixed in with all the other people are a ton of stars like zz top, nugent, gene simmons, sebatian bach, kid rocks in it, the smaller dude from big and rich, paul wall, shop boyz, akon, heff's girls next door, chuck liddel, grant hill, wayne gretzky, the o.c.c guys, dale jr., nelly furtado, and tons of hot girls....my favorite by far was grant hill though haha it was sweet, by far check it out if you like there music

That was good. I liked it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmeUuoxyt_E

Very cool....!

Watched it a couple nights ago, very cool Vid, great song

I am more inclined to watch the Iron Maiden video myself.The only reason Nicklebag has a career is because every other band nowadays sucks ass. I'm listening to Gary Moore a lot lately.

This is guitar playing....REAL musicianship,stage presence,tone feeling and talent.

Whoops! Did it again

CRAP!!!

nickelback represents everything that is wrong with popular music today....I mean, the guy wanted his nickel back and somehow that's a catchy band name?

remember a long time ago i posted that link to a site that played two nickelback songs side by side and they were the exact same song with different words?

total unadulterated pablum for the masses

I hope they choke on their 500 dollar la power lunches.

anyway, coolest music video ever? back in a few with some links...

A music aficionado has favorites in all types of music and dabbles in everything. A metal head dead head that is stuck in 1970 because he had hair and he didnt need a wheelbarrow to haul his saggin nuts and sagging game around likes iron maiden and swears by metallica ( the worst band ever musically...but they sold a CRAPLOAD of records...hat goes off to them) .despite the fact that his 8 track stereo in his T-top firebird is not able to play anymore, he rocks on blithely and has all the memorabilia and talks about the good ole days when his mullet and cut off t-shirt were socially accepted amoung a degrading acid rock society of junkies that got loaded so that the concert actually sounded "good". As time goes on and the ridicule piles up about his questionable music tastes you would think he would branch out and become more of a cultural music butterfly and broaden his musical horizons....but no...1970 has got its grip tightly on his fading hearing and eyesite. No matter how good a band is..his conversation starter is .."yeah well when iron maiden was.." yeah and their used to be slvery too...not all of history is something we are all proud of.


moral of the story is dont be stuck on one opinion...sample the rest...if they sell two platinum records....obviously just a FEW people seem to think they are good



love ya avid....

and for the record...Nickelback kicks serious arse...so does Zepplin and .38 special...but when it comes to my music opinions...i can go Dark side of the moon..but i tend to just "hold on loosely" to them...every style of music has its best and worst.

you boviously draw your conclusions from just the overplayed radio songs which puts you right along with the iron maiden fans. turn off the stereo and burn a CD or go buy it. "all the right reasons" kicks some serious arse. Linkin park's first CD pretty much had the same sort of music on every track...if it aint broke...DONT FIX IT...shoot
Neil stupid diamond made a living out of the SAM SLOW CRAP SONGS for like what ???20 years??? if you are good at a sound ...dont change it
Think of the greats


AC/DC same sound..awesome crap!!

metallica ...musically the WORST band in history..but they had that sound down pat...

incubus....same thing, awesome songs

green day is a prime example of the same crap on a different CD..but i love em!!

Rage against the machine...but each song had crazy different riffs in it and a few different power chords for a few different songs...but they alll were in the same tone.

i think you just need to get off the radio and stop reguritating other peoples opinions because it sounds all right. Turn off the radio, check them out online and dont let other radio fruit cakes influence your opinion. i turn on the radio like once a week. Always listening to different bands. i tend to steer more towards rock..nickelback, rage, audioslave ( favorite band), soundgarden, velvet revolver, HIM, korn, AC/DC, stepphenwolf, poison, van halen NOT VAN HAGGAR.

that music video kicks butt by the way. its called ORIGINAL...

original huh?

you mean like when randy newman did it? like when bon jovi did it? the list goes on and on and on but i won't bore you with it...

any twit that can fiddle out kum by frickin ah on a guitar could play ALL of drivelbacks songs....in fact that dude even looks like this camp counselor I had at camp cheesywhine back in 82...

i haven't turned an fm radio on in at least seven years. Most people around here know that I used to work in that business, there really isn't alot you can tell me about it that I haven't lived, eaten and breathed. One things for sure, there's no accounting for taste....some people like it safe, some people like it risky.

Risk drives creativity.

Record companies avoid risk like junkies resist rehab.

In general non-musicians like it safe and packaged, pre-digested if you will. Musicians tend to appreciate risk...you can always tell a frustrated musician because they almost invariably have an eclectic taste...

I'm less than impressed with metallica's output over the course of the last twenty years, but calling them the wort musicians ever is just plain ignorant. I suck three times worse than any of them as a clear example....for a more technical one, do you think that guy in spittlesack has ever heard of an arpeggio no less be able to play one flawlessly at eighth tempo?? um, no. he'll take his strummed open chords right to the bank thank you.

i know this is shallow of me but I always put an asterisk by nickelback listeners....and people that like professional wrestling...and people that wear faux hawks.

Aunty...

...you know I don't want to be a rockstar. I want to make good music, record it and spread the word outside of the mainstream music industry the old fashioned way (the internet?), by taking the show on the road. Stranger things HAVE happened but I couldn't possibly think of a more dismal, lonely, unfulfilling way to live and I can only hope I have the strength of character to recognize it coming before it happens and quit while I'm ahead.

...I decided not to post any videos because I think they suck too...except for this one, which is not for those with a short attention span, an inability to hear harmony in undertones, that don't know the difference between tube and solid state...

YOB - Quantum Mystic

Enjoy!! hehe...

Nickelback...great video but horrible song and band!

The best music video ever IMHO is Johnny Cash's cover of Reznor's hurt...for him to sing that song at that age and stage of life...epic!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go

BTW I like Iron Maiden,Gary Moore AND Miles Davis,Thelonius Monk,ZZ Top,Frank Zappa,Pink Floyd,Johnny Guitar Watson,XTC,and Cannibal Corpse,along with Buddy Holly and Stanley Clarke,Captain Beefheart,Iggy Pop,Blah blah blah.

It doesn't make Nickle Back suck any less. Fodder for the masses. As far as the Metallica comment,James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine(formerly with them)made a huge impact on the way guitar is played and cannot be denied that fact,just because you don't care for them. Selling records is not the mark of a good band,it is the mark of bad taste from the masses. Look at disco LOL.

Oh yeah,Tupac and Eminem are at the top of my list as well as the Beastie boys,Beck,Jeff Beck,Butthole Surfers LOL.

I just wanted to make a long,Merg type post.

Funny my LONG posts wasn't really that long. How the hell can you type so much son?

just kidding

I'm kind of partial to Shikira, the video "These Hips Don't Lie"

hehe, found it...

nickelback, dumbed down to the lowest common denominator

I remember you once telling me you would forgive me for listening to them. In the time since I've come to understand your sentiment.
