[the valiant effort]

Know who else sucks (despite having plenty of talent available)? Foo Fighters.

The problem is the singer is talented at drums and nothing else.

And also very talented at ruining a music documentary.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Yeah that's my point, they don't suck. They are very good at what they are.

But i think spam sucks, so for me, so does Nickelback.

Not the best band but they have a few songs that are actual classics.

My favorite has always been Low. No one can deny that song rocks AF.

Luckily VH1 Rock Honors was short lived.

Yeah, you don't like them. Doesn't mean they suck. It's not the same thing.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

If i don't like them it's because i think their music sucks.

What's actually happening here is you are deciding for others. Or trying to define "suckage" to your own bias.

Thinking something sucks is an opinion and you're not gonna define for others what sucks or not.

I think commercial success is a pretty fair metric for deciding if a band objectively sucks. If millions are buying the albums and they top the charts I just don't see how you can say they suck. You can say you don't like them, you can't say they objectively suck.

Gene Simmons burner account.

I mean people can hate on Nickleback all they want, but they obviously have a LOT of fans:

I guess this is how I remind you that Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian rock bands, (...)

... Of course, that had to be the line, hahah!

I think commercial success doesn't define any art's relevance or beauty. Using the word objectivity when speaking about art tells me you don't indulge in creating art. The words belong in opposite worlds.

Nickelback sucks. Deal with it, cuz it's pretty much guaranteed you'll cross paths daily with people who think they suck.

 

[HuGo Sham]

found his X thread sad and enlightening. Apparently the guy who kicked anderson ,petgrave have some big impulse control issues. i hope this just a bad accident..

 

[the valiant effort]

As with every other topic I’m sure the twitter discussion regarding this incident will remain coherent, nuanced, and, for some reason, bipartisan.

All this music talk, it seems its 690 dumb afternoon Mitchy show....

Sorry, your bipolar posting about the Habs and usual obsession with the Leafs is much more entertaining.

It's not art. It's commercial music. It's a business.

I don't even like nickelback. But I had this argument recently with my friends who are all huge music snobs and I'm still worked up about it. Like dude you still sing dashboard confessional songs when they come on don't act like you're a music connoisseur.

I'll never stop giving cred to PJ. They were mavericks, trend setters and never sold out. All that came after them were just pale imitations. Bush, STP, Creed, Nickleback. Copy of a copy of a copy...

I used to think STP were rip-off artists of PJ but it’s not the case. Go listen to Mighty Joe Young (their name before STP) he was singling like that long before PJ was big.

STP are actually a pretty interesting band. They did a lot of experimental stuff - not all of it was good but they are a much better band than they’re sometimes given credit for. And I think Scott Weiland is one of the best vocalists of all time. He could do anything.

Take Sting for example. Great f***ing singer. But he’s always Sting. Absolutely nothing wrong with that (he has a unique voice of his own) but Weiland could be baroltone, then raise it up, do country - a real singer. Sometimes he doesn’t sound like the same singer. Unique and fantastic. It’s too bad drugs got the better of him. Check out their final album from 2008. Second half of it is pretty awesome. It’s a 70s tribute album so you’ll hear hints of Queen and Bowie. Really cool. Dare if you Dare is great and if you listen closely you’ll hear ‘All the Young Dudes’ remade. Very clever.

And I just looked up… this isn’t the music thread?

Let’s get back on topic. Nickelback can be discussed in the music thread.

Penguins, about two mins left to play, get a lengthened five on three that stretches until almost the end of the game.

They found a way to lose in regulation by SHG. Unbelievable.

One of the most insane endings to a game that I can remember. Ducks will be very good very soon.

How/Why do the Foo Fighters suck?

They have a few good songs at the very least.

Get this old senile man off the air jfc
