Do you guys think Nickelback should come back? Well, they have with their new single "Gotta Be Somebody" (Listen HERE ) (http://www.iheartmusic.com/cc-common/ondemand/music.html?apid=4839)
But seriously, do you guys like the song or do you think it sounds like every other song they wrote? Is it a hit???

Ha Ha no way dude hawthorne Heights...? Have you heard a few of their news songs, it sounds like he had a four year old write it for them. That four becomes one song sounds like a children's song.

I didn't think that it was too bad by Nickelback standards. I gave it a listen and thought that it was decent.

They must be doing something right when they continue to sell millions of records and sell out arenas worldwide?

See those asterisks I put in your post? This is the turning point where your argument shifts from "bad taste" to "totally wrong".

Your very clever, congratulations.
So I gave a song an unbiased listen, I expected it to be very average and it was decent.

The "totally wrong" part is in fact correct.

I dislike Nickelback as much as anybody, And there are more deserving bands that deserve the success that Nickelback currently have. I just thought the single was better than their previous songs that I've had the displeasure to hear.

10/01/08, 03:41 AM

I understand. This:
The "totally wrong" part is in fact correct. is what I'm disputing.

The "they must be doing something right" approach to music appreciation is the lowest, most brain-dead form of music appreciation that exists (perhaps aside from superficial idolization), and the one that I believe sustains acts like Nickelback. Give me "their music speaks to me", "their songs are catchy", or "I didn't think that it was too bad by Nickelback standards", but don't give me "they must be doing something right when they continue to sell millions of records and sell out arenas worldwide".

You're better than that.

So you're saying that they're doing everything wrong and yet they sell upwards of five million albums?
These are figures bands such as Valencia could only dream about. Valencia are ten times the band that Nickelback are. But that's just my personal opinion and yet they've sold six thousand records, not six million.

Me saying "they must be doing something right" was in terms of their record sales and ticket sales. How else could I have described that. I'm bewildered how they can sell that many albums when they are so blatantly crap.

Here's what I'm trying to get at: why did you feel the need to write about their commercial success immediately after you posted your opinion of the song?

lew_1987

Commercial success has virtually no bearing to a band's quality.

Broden Terry

It was unrelated to my opinion of the song.
If you look above my first post, in the previous pages there are numerous negative comments about Nickelback and their music and that was my reaction towards it.

"They must be doing something right" in other words means that their singles all sound the same and that familiarity and catchiness sell huge amounts of records. Nickelback have been using the same method of writing songs for years. Commercial hit after commercial hit. It's that simple that I just answered my own question.

I think Lew is absolutely correct.

Exactly, Nickelback is showing us nothing new. They've done it all before and they're not evolving as a band because they basically don't need too.
There are bands out there who actually improve and go in new directions. It's a shame that some of those bands don't get recognized for the incredible music that they create.

Most bands never will... if you think how much Nickleback are praised by the general public, how could they ever like music with integrity?

I shall be one of the first to say, I like some of Nickelback's music. I also like Fall Out Boy. I'm not afraid to say it. All Time Low, I like too. I listen to a lot of music. Hence, my name. If you wanna rip on me for it, go ahead, I don't care. It's not like you can say anything to change my opinion.

Talking about the actual SONG itself. I'm not listening to the radio anymore. It's going to be on everywhere. That is really the only thing I absolutely DESPISE about Nickelback is that their singles are sooooo overplayed. It's annoying, really. It ruins the songs for me >__>.

Actually, if you're over 10 and still think Nickelback are "decent", you seriously should consider locking yourself into a wardrobe, think about your life, and only come back after you've realized how much failure describes this... band.
