Limp Bizkit, I grant you is far more awful than Nickelback, but I think Adema and Godsmack are on the same level of ****tiness as Nickelback. Maybe Adema has an edge just because they were sort of an also-ran ****ty band. I don't think I can actually name an Adema song.

Let's be honest: if you are going for bands that are worse than Nickelback, then there's a whole range of them. There must be hundreds of gruff, angry garage metal bands who really try and copy the mainstream metal scene.
The reason Nickelback gets so much attention is the fact that they write pop-rock songs with [intended] universal appeal.
Let's be honest, if they didn't have the straining voice of Chad Kroeger for vocals, they'd be much better.

Nah. They'd still be generic and uninspired. Besides, I've heard Nickelback with different vocals. They're called Three Doors Down.

I'm not objecting to that! I'm not into that kind of music and I'm not attempting to persuade anyone that it merits any credibility for artistry or creativity. "Photograph" is one of those problems: it really just sounds like another attempt to convince everyone that the song is "just for them", when in fact is designed to appeal to everyone's memories and reminiscences.
I just think perhaps one of the main reasons for their unpopularity is the awful voice of Chad Kroeger. It attracts a lot more scorn than is deserved for such average rock.

Thanks, good to be back!
I think I'm wasting too much of my attention on these morons.

Limp Bizkit are fine with me

Fred Durst LITERALLY wrote a song about how his friend didn't pay him back money

Howard the Duck · 01-31-2012, 09:44 PM

Korn are also a bunch of douchebags but i like them as well

Unrelenting · 01-31-2012, 09:52 PM

They have a few good tunes, I give them that. But they really should have called it quits when Head left.

I could, considering I own all their albums..and Limp Bizkit's, and Nickelback's, and Godsmack's. Damn...I got a sh*tty taste in music.
