Whats people's obsession with bashing nickleback? I mean for fucks sake there are 3 canadian bands that the american public knows about, The tragically hip, The tea party, and Nickleback... I dont even know if tea party is canadian! We have so many kickass bands that go completely unnoticed, and then somebody makes it big on a later album, certainly not their first, after touring for years and years, and suddenly theyre just a crappy prefab band pumped out by the music industry. Like where the fuck do you all get off? I mean Im not a big fan of nickleback but give them at least
some credit for the work theyve done. Just look at Our Lady Peace, from my understanding of things, having friends in the states, 99.9% of people hadnt even heard about them, and up until the release of gravity and having Somewhere Out There on the radio, hadnt heard of them, and even having heard S.O.T. didnt even know the name of the band. Like come on here... Give credit where credit is due, you can say you dont like Iggy Pop, or the Sex Pistols, but if youre a punk fan you have no right to say they sucked, thatd be like saying Led Zepplin sucked if youre a rock fan. Sure, you might not like their music, but they were trying to break new ground for musicians like themselves. Now musically, led zepplin and nickleback are very different, and Im sure as hell not saying the quality is the same, but you have to realise how tough it is for canadians to get noticed. We're like the American's little annoying brother, we tag along on issues of economy, trade back and forth, be pleasant with each other, but everyone loves the little brother more and that makes the older brother jealous and in turn the older brother (or american cultrue) ignores the little brother (or canadian culture).
Anyways, time for my little confessions... Uhmmm Ive been listening to pink a lot more lately, and Tenacious D... lol jack black is a riot sometimes.
Ive also found that Ive had Nelly's Hot in Here stuck in my head on several occasions... that pisses me off though cuz I hate that song and I hate nelly...
Hmm... what else...
oh yes... the ultimate blasphemy... I actually like creed's One Last Breath... just the song, not the video... I hate the video... but I have no respect for creed, not since scott stapp has been running his mouth about this that and the other... he always makes such an ass of himself, he doesnt even have an excuse like shakira whos second language is english and is not properly understood/understands what shes saying... he knows what hes saying, hes just an ignorant dumbass... I hate the band and therefore I cannot respect the quality of the music, which, in my opinion, still all sounds the same, and in listening to some of their older stuff I found a song that was somewhat comparable to One Last Breath much to my dismay... and then I realised, shit! Im listening to Creed!... nuff said....
Anyways... hmmm what else... oh I dunno... Im too tired... if I thinka something Ill edit my post...
(edit (1): Speaking of sounds the same... Andrew W.K.? LOL... the CD is as follows: Music is
exactly the same, lyrics are slightly different... Although I must say that Lets Get a Party Started or whatever is a pretty killer song, if you ignore the fact that the rest of the cd is identical... lol)
