Linkin park had the same thing. Sad.

Doesn't really sound the same to me :\

And that, my friends, is why Nickelback is popular

Absolutely. When I spend 20 cents and give a quarter to pay for it...I like my nickle back.


WHAT? the musical group? WHAT musical group? Never heard of them.

I like a couple of thier songs.

I hate their "same music different lyric" songs. I think Pearljam does the same thing.

While I may occasionally throw that nickle into the "Need a penny" cup on the counter...or into the container for various children's charities...I still want it back. I'm NOT giving it to the business. (unless the pricks are keeping the change in the cup)

If you're calling me a liar over the musical group...them's fightin words...


(I don't listen to, nor pay attention to contemporary "new wave" rock groups...which a quick googling indicates that this group probably is.)
Still don't think I've ever heard of them before...nor any of their music.

I am...very bad. (although in this case, I was talking about putting a nickel INTO said penny jar...)

On top of everything else, they are directly responsible for me having to see "nickel" spelled incorrectly on a more regular basis.

I enjoyed them for about a month, perhaps 7 years ago.. then I got bored, and can no longer stand listening to them.

the only people i know who admit to liking nickelback are 40-somethings and wish they were still 20-somethings.

So that's why I kind of like them! Thanks for explaining :)

Absolutely hate them. All their songs sound the same and none sound good.

Everytime I hear "Rockstar"(Which they aren't and never will be) I want to strangle someone, Chad Kroeger especially.
