The hate on nickelback thread

[eljefefx]

Who? I haven't heard of any of them.

Scooter

Coheed and Cambria.





Protest the Hero.

Older stuff.


Newer stuff.



Doesn't hurt that PtH have a great sense of humor.

Meh. KMFDM has better beats; Beck has more thought provoking lyrics. Just sayin'

Industrial beats are not talent, any drum machine can pull that off. Beck though talented, I would not consider thought provoking at all.

sorry, jeff. not cutting it for me. i'm so sick of modern metal. thrash, death, etc...it's all repetitive to me. great when i'm not really paying attention to the music and need something adrenaline pumping in the background for online gaming or something...but completely worthless for relaxing, commuting, or singing along.

and not that catchy either.

my issue with tool is the same one with the stuff jeff posted, it's edgy, but not catchy. some people want a song to make them feel like they took a grenade to the face. for those people, artists like those just posted are great. i'm not one of those people.

don't get me wrong, i do like some coheed & cambria. i have "welcome home" in my playlist. but liking one of their songs is the exception, not the rule. i get WAY more enjoyment out of rodrigo y gabriella.

Well, to be fair PtH are progressive metal and not thrash or death. Their first album was a concept album, to a point the second one was and since then their songs have dealt with more common themes. I listen to Volition, their newest album quite a bit on the way into work. But that's just me and I listen to albums about five or six times before I decide if they're worth staying on my phone.

Now, rodrigo y gabriella are amazing musicians. That we can agree on.

That first video wasn't bad for me EJ, but the others didn't do it for me. Just not something that appeals to me. That's where I get confused with other people. They don't like NB, that's fine. Why make a song and dance about it? It's not like they get voted year in and out to be the greatest band in the world. They make music that appeals to some but not others. Isn't that what every single band in the world does?

OMG they jumped the shark. The one thing I liked about NB was they surprised me with every new album. The first time I would hear one I was like damn this is good. The 2nd or 3rd time I was like this sucks. This is bad right of the bat, even if I agree with the message, it sucks. Singer needs to grow his hair back out, looks douche bag (I'm with the trend) guy. Metallica did it
