Haven't laughed this much in a while.

Secondly if you actually took the time to read some of my old posts you would realize I have about 20-30 posts on my opinion about Nickelback. There is nothing I could say without repeating myself. (My point exactly.)

So before criticizing people, do you homework and stop acting like a twat.

I also did not accuse YOU of saying they had no talent.
I was just making a general assessment of most musical critiques.

As for most of these people being musicians, good for you.
Let me hear the music that you think is worth more than their catalouge.

It doesn't matter what band it is, a handful of people are going to start "OMZ I LOVES THEM" threads, and the other half will start "THEY FUXIN SUCK MAN" threads. Doesn't change the fact that there is a different between stating your opinion, and being a downright ****.

And dac, I could probably say something like "I played in a Metallica cover band for two years" right now, but I'll keep my comments to myself.

You don't get the point do you? Do you read the news? Do you know whats going on with the music industry? Obviously ****ing not or you would get the point I was making.

Do us all a favor and read some articles on what Mettalica has done regarding media rights. Then come back here and maybe, just maybe, you will understand that what I said has nothing to do with what your feverishly arguing.

sorry man but it's one T and two Ls, it's just bugging me haha

the only thing nickleback did wrong was to not add a single thing to the well worn (out) 70s arena rock formula. it's not like they ever pretended to want to be anything besides corporate rock whores. complaining about nickleback is like complaining about the stink off pee after you piss into the wind.

I was more so challenging you to produce 3 or more musical notes with a wooden spoon and a frying pan. I found that to be a rather ridiculous claim.

And not once did I mention they didnt have talent or were not great musicians, just the fact that as people they are not to be respected or defended.

I am not this body - it is an instrument for my use

Hey Rezz - I would have thought that playing Metallica covers for 2 years you would have at least learned to spell the band name correctly. Not that I'm critisizing you sweetie but I hope you played better than you spell xx

Oh, and if they hate whoever makes it mainstream, they go on about how much the band sucks and has no talent at all.
Yet, I bet most of those critics can't even play two notes on a frying pan with a wooden spoon.

I'd like to see you play more than two notes on a frying pan with a wooden spoon.

Hey at least he brought up something extremely original and insightful. No one has ever made that argument before.

And Metallica's first three albums alone were enough to own your soul, RezZ.
I like how I post something about Nickelback and you ignore the topic and go off on something completely different.

Just my opinion.

I think 'Never Again' is a perfectly acceptable Rock track. I have heard far worse in my time. I don't care much for them as a rule but people take them far too seriously. They are a bubblegum rock band and they have been around for years.
