Nickelback DLC

[rooky91]

Am i the only one that would like to see some Nickelback DLC :confused:

[WhiffleBallTony]

Am i the only one that would like to see some Nickelback DLC :confused:

Yes, you are.

[mombie]

No I love Nickelback, would love to seem them.

[Highlandlassie1]

No you are not.

Rockstar would be absolutely perfect.

While Nickelback is not the best band ever they sure do not deserve the wrath of hate that follows them.

[schwhack222]

nickelback is awesome they need to put all the wrong reasons album on there

[lipidquadcab]

No you are not.

Rockstar would be absolutely perfect.

While Nickelback is not the best band ever they sure do not deserve the wrath of hate that follows them.

You are right...they deserve a lot more...:p

[JuiceElf]

Nickleback would be nice. Any of these would do, they are in no particular order.

Savein' Me
Far Away
Rock Star
Someday
Never Again
How You Remind Me
Photograph

[VoorheesJoker13]

Animals would be the only song I would want by them in Rock Band.

[Porcupineinchains]

Nickelback is terrible, no.

[Bass4819]

Yeah sorry, post grunge radio bands are never fun.

[p-man]

No you are not.

Rockstar would be absolutely perfect.

While Nickelback is not the best band ever they sure do not deserve the wrath of hate that follows them.

Your not wrong bud :D

[Wrathchild998]

A lot of Nickelback songs sound EXACTLY the same,but there's like 2 I'd download.
Rockstar and Animals

[Rock_Starman]

How You Remind Me
Into the Night
Hero

Not quite a Nickelback pack but close enough and I'd buy it.
They've got some really good old stuff (before they blew up with How You Remind me) but I can't remember any specific songs.

[fastbal9]

Nickelback would be perfect for this game

[mrhooie]

gotta agree and throw my 2¢ in for Nickleback

[TheCaesarVirus]

Nickelback is bad so no

[boots555]

It would make my Uncle happy if they ever got Nickelback.

[Verditude]

Where?
How You Remind Me
Savin' Me
would constitute the perfect pack.

[ClassicCarraway]

A lot of Nickelback songs sound EXACTLY the same,but there's like 2 I'd download.
Rockstar and Animals

In all honesty, the same could be said for alot of rock bands, past and present.

[shocked46]

something like because of you or leader of men or side of a bullet would be awesome. i wish they would get a band i actually like on the dlc

[xerichx07]

Oh yes, give us ANOTHER overrated to hell band, while leaving the underrateds out. All junior members, read my sig.

[C-Weiner]

No, no youu are not.

[Verditude]

Oh yes, give us ANOTHER overrated to hell band, while leaving the underrateds out. All junior members, read my sig.That's a pretty sweeping generalization. Since I joined recently and like 1 band that you don't, I have "little to no musical taste"? I like the sound of a few of Nickelback's songs; that doesn't mean the only music I like is generic radio-oriented rock.

[Gatorguy91]

No you are not.

Rockstar would be absolutely perfect.

While Nickelback is not the best band ever they sure do not deserve the wrath of hate that follows them.

I agree Wholeheartedly.

[Alright_Computer]

No, no, no, no, god no. Nickelback is crap and I really doubt Harmonix would put them in. They've got no good guitar parts, and I could go on and on, but I won't.

[Verditude]

No, no, no, no, god no. Nickelback is crap and I really doubt Harmonix would put them in. They've got no good guitar parts, and I could go on and on, but I won't.

Well, then, don't buy it. I don't think there actually will be a Nickelback pack released (although it would be sweet, IMO) but I'm realistically hoping that we'll get 1 song, as a part of a "nu-metal" pack or something. One song doesn't block your musical desires too badly, does it?

[Runa216]

I say yes, I'd like Nickelback, but I wouldn't buy more than, say, 3 songs of theirs. I like their sound, but most of their stuff sounds alike. Personally, I'd love to play Animals, as the guitar sounds fun, the drums are good, and the vocals would be a blast to sing. I also love breathe and Never again, so I'd buy that pack..leave out their new trash, they honestly used to be good!

(yes, I'm aware animals is new, it sounds old, so it's good.)

[jshives43]

How You Remind Me... Never Again... Too Bad... How can u not like a 3 pack like that???

[tsu17nami]

Animals
Rockstar
How You Remind Me
Never Again

These would be great

[U2Phreak1969]

Oh yes, give us ANOTHER overrated to hell band, while leaving the underrateds out. All junior members, read my sig.

I'm so sick of hearing from "music snobs" that think if something is popular, it's crap. Nickelback is immensely popular and deserves to be in Rockband for no other reason than it will sell well. . .

It will see a hell of a lot better than Muse, Slayer, Anthrax or a dozen other bands that are so alternative they have nothing but niche followings. Granted they still may sell records (or DLC), but no where near as much as Nickelback.
And like it or not mainstream music will make more people happy and sell more Rockband systems, than will niche alternative bands.

I'll take releases like Nickelback, Evanescense, Incubus, Matchbox 20 week in, week out.

That's not to say the Niche stuff doesn't have its place in the game as well. I'm just saying that you shouldn't expect it as often as the stuff that will pay the bills.
So Plllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeeee! Quit your complaining when posts like this one bring up perfectly legitimate releases for the game.

By the way.. . check out this link. It'll explain a lot about what sells and what doesn't.

Stop telling me what to do. It's a forum, don't like my opinion? That's too bad. Same goes for you, I'm not telling you what to do.

It's a true fact that the music industry is bloated now. So, if I can only play 2-3 chords, I can be in a band like Nickelback. They are overrated.

The bassist doesn't know how to play his bass with any fun, the drummer doesn't know how do any interesting sections, the guitarist(s) don't know how to do technical solos or anything good, and the vocalist can't sing.

So what made you think I listen only metal I listen to more than that. Just leave me alone, ok? I won't bother you if you don't bug me.

[Krakenheds]

I like quite a few of their songs, so I would defiantly buy a Nickleback DLC pack.

[Verditude]

Actually, Good Times Gone off the album Silver Side Up would be amazing. I'd pay big for that one.

[U2Phreak1969]

Dude, did you take your blood pressure medicine this morning? It's okay. . . REALLY!!!

[LibertineStripes]

Nickleback would be a good DLC for people who like to sing like douche bags.

:p

[jojofry]

I think rockstar would be a fregin blast to have it be like wanted dead or alive is... Everyone that i know comes over and loves to play that tune .. Its a fun tune not a hard one...

[vandalizemenow00]

Nickleback would be a good DLC for people who like to sing like douche bags.

:p

love the quote. Nickleback is awfull and Im surprised I havent posted a negative reply here yet. If I had a perm and was from Canadia I might enjoy listening to crap too.

[niq24601]

Sure Nickelback is uber-mainstream, but it can be fun to play, and power ballads are great when no one is a good singer.

"Figured You Out" is probably the best for rock band

[joshtheking20]

I absolutely love rock music ... but for some reason i have never liked Nickleback - No offense to the topic maker. I dont like them but i can tell they have heaps load of talent and good songs :)

Just not my style i guess!

[zazakoolaid]

Wouldn't be fun to play. Not in the least. 2 or 3 chords, lame bass, poor singing, zero rhythm. In addition to that, they are in the "Songs Sound the Same" Club right there with Disturbed.

[torchinthesky=rainingfire]

love the quote. Nickleback is awfull and Im surprised I havent posted a negative reply here yet. If I had a perm and was from Canadia I might enjoy listening to crap too.

i think i may have just been insulted. i am from canada and i don't insult america

back to topic i think nickelback would suit the game perfectly and i would play any except for photograph just because it is over played

[f111th]

anyone that has ever seen them in concert knows they are amazing. Anyone that has not will never understand how good they are.
Trying to drum on expert would be next to impossible. Singing would be very hard. the guitar would require alot of practice. Playing at parties in a band would be Fantastic.

Nickelback is made for Rockband.

I find the only people that dont like Nickelback are the people that cant imitate them as easy as they do all other bands.

Hope Harmonix approaches Them and works out an agreement.

f111th

[bierfaht]

they would only need to add one song, how you remind me of someday!
as they keep writing the same song more than ACDC or the Ramones.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbCzGt7S7M4&feature=related

even though he was already dead, nickelback was who the legendary bill hicks was talking about when he said to play from your f@@#ing heart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkA6zugNMQ

[Ultimatum]

No you are not.

Rockstar would be absolutely perfect.

While Nickelback is not the best band ever they sure do not deserve the wrath of hate that follows them.

Rockstar blows mainstream Rap out of the water as far as stereotypical lyrics go.

[Verditude]

Rockstar would definitely not be the best choice. Most of Silver Side Up (especially Good Times Gone) would be good, as would Follow You Home, Side Of A Bullet, Next Contestant, and Where?. All of these songs have better guitar parts than the more popular Nickelback songs.

[smith5879]

Why would I want HMX to waste their time making Nickelback songs? They could be busy at work on much more important and better songs.

[rigmedic]

Why would I want HMX to waste their time making Nickelback songs? They could be busy at work on much more important and better songs.

they got some good tunes, stuff it

[geoff24]

yes rock band could definitely use some nickelback they have a few really good songs that would be awesome to play.

[jascanity]

Nickelback would be AWESOME to play!

If i were to make choices i would say anything from all the right reasons, Where?, Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, One Last Run, or Just For and maybe Into the Night.

Although any Nickelback would make me happy :)
heres hoping

[Rock_Starman]

They could put out If Everyone Cared and give the profits to chairity.

[Paramore]

I'm not a fan of Nickelback, I don't like them. But I respect them for who they are. They make music. I respect that unlike some people on these forums. But I wouldn't mind if they had a Nickelback DLC. I just wouldn't download them. It would make some people happy. I know how it feels like to wait for a song to be on Rock Band, but it just never comes.

[teck]

while i am not a nickelback fan, their two big songs "how you remind me" and "photograph", proven by mainstream success, would probably do well as DLC, simply because a lot of people have showed to like their stuff. you can't please everyone, but that's why you have an option to buy it or not.

[Verditude]

while i am not a nickelback fan, their two big songs "how you remind me" and "photograph", proven by mainstream success, would probably do well as DLC, simply because a lot of people have showed to like their stuff. you can't please everyone, but that's why you have an option to buy it or not.

Both would do well monetarily, but I REALLY don't want HMX to add Photograph. It's definitely their worst song. I'd be cool with How You Remind Me, that's one of my favorite songs, I just don't know how it would translate into RB.

I'd rather have Good Times Gone, Follow You Home, Where?, and maybe Next Contestant than How You Remind Me, and anything in their entire catalog before Photograph.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

i think the "All the Right Reasons" Album is thier best. i would really want anything from that.

[Bonzo]

Oh yeah, Nickelback, that's what Rock Band needs, let's not forget Hinder and Daughtry while we're at it...

Nickelback = failure

sorry, but that's my opinion

^Sarcasm, those bands suck

[rigmedic]

Oh yeah, Nickelback, that's what Rock Band needs, let's not forget Hinder and Daughtry while we're at it...

Nickelback = failure

sorry, but that's my opinion

sure Hinder and Daughtry would be good too Bozo!

Nickleback would sell, and so would Hinder and Daughtry.

Hell, sign me up for all three!

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Oh yeah, Nickelback, that's what Rock Band needs, let's not forget Hinder and Daughtry while we're at it...

Nickelback = failure

sorry, but that's my opinion

Daughtry and Hinder are AWESOME. Heck both of those would be awesome too!

[dwgh]

i m not a huge fan of nickelback, but i think i'd buy some of their songs if they ever came out. i imagine its pretty tough getting a hold of their master tracks, though.

[Verditude]

I'm seeing a lot of judgement of Nickelback from those who have only heard their popular radio songs. Some of their less popular songs like Good Times Gone would work much better in RB.

[Xenx-Zona]

I'd like some Nickelback DLC.

[dythanor]

im not a huge fan but i would download
photograph
savin me
how you remind me

[orgy08]

I give in a vote for a 3 Pack, I'm sure the three songs they release for nickelback to download would have more downloads then the whole pixies album put together.

[platonic_sound]

I don't like Nickleback, at all.

[carp24000]

I would like to see a Nickleback 3 pack as well.

[CheezerRox]

No. Just no.

[beytill113]

Side of a bullet plain and simple

[OutlawPro]

Not big Nickelback fan but I would download the following:

Rockstar (it's supposed to be stereotypical lyrics, it poking fun at the genre)
Animals
Figured You Out

[Chief Stubbs]

Let's get How You Remind Me and Someday so we can have two of the same charts with different names on them!

[BornLucky9]

I would much rather see Nickelback than The Pixies....or Angels and Airwaves....or the Cars....or {Insert Any Who Is This DLC}

[chris3007]

Side of a Bullet
Never Again
Too Bad
those are the ones id rather have

[Ansatsu]

Look at the bright side, if Nickelback did get DLC, the board would be practically unanimous on the 'worst band in RB'.

[Venom13]

I wouldn't mind seeing Nickelback in Rock Band. The aren't my favorite band but i do like them. I think their songs are very catchy and would be very fun to play.
Nickelback songs for DLC:
Saveing Me
Because of You
How you Remind Me
Animals
Next Contestant
Faraway

[dragonanthony86]

Am i the only one that would like to see some Nickelback DLC :confused:

nope, they're actually one of the few popular mainstream bands that i enjoy listenning to

[dragonanthony86]

and i can just imagine how fun it would be to sing "animals"

[Barnaby Fist]

DLC is the perfect place for Nickelback. I'm free to ignore them, and their fans get what they want.

[Mikey35]

Id bet my paycheck against anyone elses, that if Nickelback was an option for dlc anytime soon, it would outsell most dlc to date...minus a few songs like More than a feeling, and the Metallica ones. Theres alot more people out there that dont come on to these forums who own this game and there are alot that want groups like Nickelback.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

All The Right Reasons for DLC. And i will be happy. Their Best Album! (And Yes im a fan, and I dont care what you think)

[macdaddy3598]

A lot of Nickelback songs sound EXACTLY the same,but there's like 2 I'd download.
Rockstar and Animals

That would be perfect. I second that vote.

[crazygoodpro]

Some Nickelback would be awesome! I love them!

[Plan B]

Am i the only one that would like to see some Nickelback DLC :confused:

I wish that was the case...

Some how these guys got away with releasing the same album multiple times, and went Platinum multipule times because of it... c'mon guys, seriously?

[kingtonyx]

definitely not

Nickelback DLC would have two achievements

A) most complained about on the forums

B) highest selling DLC

[thebullgod]

there should be some nickelback 4 dlc. they have a really good sound(maybe not 2 every1) but alot of people listen to them. put up all the right reasons as a album release and alot of people will buy it.

[Runesmith]

Sure. I'm not a Nickelback fan, and I wouldn't buy any of their songs, but that's the beauty of DLC: I don't have to buy it if I don't want to.

[orangesmoke20]

deffinatly want some Nickelback.. never understood why people bash the dlc from bands they dont like.. like the poster above said if you dont want it dont buy it

[Verditude]

I would like some Nickelback. I don't see why people only listen to their big radio songs and bash them as talentless. Listen to Good Times Gone or Next Contestant, then say their guitarist can't play.

[xerichx07]

Well, at least soccer moms would have something to play.
Get it?

[LegolElf]

I'd love to see Nickelback. I don't care how many diehard "my music tastes are better than yours" people it would upset. The bottom line is, Nickelback DLC would sell like crazy. It would be at the top of the charts. I know I would buy any and all they put out.

I like Nickelback, along with many MANY others. Who cares if it's mainstream. I happen to like a lot of mainstream AND not so mainstream bands. Oh my gosh... how can he say that!?!? Simple... grow up and listen to what you want. Make a decision about what you want to buy since you "have the option". Don't bash it if you don't like it. I'm not a big fan of half the DLC in the game, but I don't bash it because there are many out there who love what I hate and vice versa.

Just enjoy this wonderful game called Rock Band, and all will be well with the world. We should be a community with this; not arguing over who is better/more overrated than who. It's all opinion.

[Kyriene]

Well I'm new to the forums here, though not new to the game, and I would love to see Nickelback DLC. I have yet to find a song of theirs I didn't enjoy, and I have been a musician, though haven't picked up a drumstick or guitar in years, as is my husband and he also enjoys Nickelback. So yeah I would love to see DLC from them. As for those of you that don't like them, there's a real simple solution, don't download the songs, not real hard concept here, there are a ton of other great bands for DLC to download for you to not have to feel that you have to download stuff you don't like, lord knows I don't download stuff I don't like.

Just my 2 cents worth.

[itsnotmyfault]

I would like Leader of Men, How you Remind me, and Never Again. That's about it though.

[j_dub_rules]

As DLC, Nickelback is fine, cause I don't have to buy it....But if say, it were ever on disc, I would give Rock Band and Harmonix a nice peace out....Sorry but Nickelback is the equivalant of crapping out of my mouth...except Chad Kroeger craps out of his mouth, and mainstream music eats it up....tsk tsk :(

[TraumaSponge]

Nickelback is the musical equivalent of watching a blank tv screen while sitting in a recliner eating potato chips.

[Gaiad]

I don't see why there's so much hate on Nickelback, it's an awesome band.

So what if they're mainstream? THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. It's music. You listen to it. You enjoy it or you dislike it.

It doesn't even seem like valid opinions, have any of you ever listened to Nickelback? I mean ACTUALLY LISTENED TO IT, not turn it on with the mindset that this Frikkin sucks?

Stuff like Side of a Bullet, How You Remind Me, Next Contestant, Fight For All The Wrong Reasons, and Follow You Home would be awesome to play. Go listen to that stuff before you hate on Nickelback.

It's a good band that doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

[DarkS2K]

Chad Kroegers voice bothers me.

[cdestey]

No thanks.

[YCFan282]

no they totally deserve the hate

they are as boring as can be, repetitive, have no talent really at all, and are crappy radio rock sell outs

[adamlathrom]

I would LOVE to have Animals, that would be fun as hell. I would also like to have EVERYTHING else by them.

[Gaiad]

no they totally deserve the hate

they are as boring as can be, repetitive, have no talent really at all, and are crappy radio rock sell outs

Doesn't matter if it's repetitive, doesn't matter if they have no talent, doesn't matter if they're "Radio rock sell outs", as long as the music's good you're good.

The music, that's what matters.

With all the BS Nickelback gets, I'd prefer them over Led Zeppelin, Halen, Hendrix, etc anyday.

[demonbarber92]

@TraumaSponge:
Reading what you say is the web surfing equivalent to doing snuff. It just ruins my brain cells.

@YCFan282:
You're boring as can be, have no literary talent at all, and are a crappy media critic. Thank you very much.

I would like to see Nickelback DLC if you cannot tell.

[BOOMERSOONER1]

Leader of Men would be PIMP

[bengino]

Where?
How You Remind Me
Savin' Me
would constitute the perfect pack.

love me some Bickelback, but honestly, the last two songs on that list (which i love) would suck on RB, too easy and not that fun to play. I happen to think the last few NB albums have generally sort of sucked.

"Never Again"
"Breathe"
"Leader Of Men"

that is a much better listing of some good NB stuff (most of it before they exploded)

[bengino]

no they totally deserve the hate

they are as boring as can be, repetitive, have no talent really at all, and are crappy radio rock sell outs

listen to the pre mainstream albums, those guys could rock out, they are no musical geniuses, don't get me wrong, but the earlier material far surpasses the mainstream hits and misses from the last 2 albums (this coming from a guy who likes them)

[liverpaul_05]

please, Rock Star is so bloody Cheezy, how can any1 like that song, plus it would be boring for anyone but the singer, thats even if there is any guitar/drums. i dont know but i do know, THEY SHOULD HAVE ANIMALS ON ROCK BAND, now THAT would be perfect!, that is the song that got me into rock music, its so sick. maybe a couple of slow ones too like savin' me and/or this is how u remind me. want some nickelback yeah!

[Kulpa]

They Should Definatly Have Nickelback (This is how you remind me, Photograph, Animals,Hero,& Because of you) Would be awesome songs

[Shilther]

I would love to see Nickelback in Rock Band.

[johnny-k]

dude, we need to definitely put the album "all the right reasons"

[CheezerRox]

No. Just no.

[MGOLD89]

I Vote Yes.

[Mikey35]

I vote yes!!!

[daclown81]

I'd buy a Nickelback pack

[carzynick]

Yes, you are.

funny :D

oh and i'll take some nickelback, but not too much

[Destro777]

Nickelback is always playing in Hell

[Transbrak]

Nickelback is always playing in Hell

I didn't think it was that bad.

At least you get used to the fire and heat.

;)

[MuscularTea]

Nickelback isn't a bad band, I just can't stand the singer for the band, and some of their songs sound the same, but still it'd be ok to have them on there.

[7th Son]

Please NO.
But then again, youd only need one track, since all of their songs sound the same.
(genre:white trash anthems..also see kid rock and hinder)

[PsykX]

There's a lot of great songs out there other than Nickelback that would be awesome.

Oh wait, no I LIKE Nickelback, they could make a 6-tracks DLC easily with a lot of great songs. Or just throw out a CD ! I'd buy most of it on the way.

[Kasil]

Figured You Out, Fight For All the Wrong Reasons, Someone that You're With.

[Cormac]

It would depend on the song or songs they had as DLC as to weather or not I bought it.

[Beha153]

Am i the only one that would like to see some Nickelback DLC :confused:
Yes you are, and get the entire f*ck out for that.

I swear if someone mentions(ed) Hinder as awesome DLC.... Punches will fly.

[psyniac_123]

Early stuff only please.

Before they sold out and released half as album as singles. All of the songs being ****ty enough that we couldn't live em down for a year. ****in' Rockstar...

[BazookaJo]

Am i the only one that would like to see some Nickelback DLC :confused:

No I'm with you on that one.

[ihatecapslock]

Don't waste a weeks worth, or even one song of DLC on this crappy band.

All I have to say.

[tsu17nami]

Rockstar and Animals would be instant downloads for me

[nightmare975]

I'd go for Rockstar.

Nickelback is just to whiny IMO.

[nickelback_fan]

my name says it all

[Lineant]

Nickelback is good

[HeavyMetalKing]

I like their older stuff...their last album was "meh" to me, and the new single sounds really processed to me.

[DoubleA13]

Nickelback is a far better band than anyone here gives them credit for. If you don't like Nickelback then don't come to a Nickelback thread and start bashing them. We all have different tastes in music and listening to you whine about why you don't like them is not the reason this thread was created. Anyway, songs I would like to see from them:
Savin me
If Everyone Cared
Figured You Out
How You Remind Me(would absolutely love this song)

[Kill All Humans]

I like their older stuff...their last album was "meh" to me, and the new single sounds really processed to me.

That's what happens when you get 'Mutt' Lange in to produce your albums nowadays - I'm just suprised they didn't end up sounding like Def Leppard like Bryan Adams did when he collaborated with him. The single really does sound terrible.

I wouldn't mind some Nickelback though, something like Where, Leader Of Men or Breathe. In fact as long as it's not Rockstar or How You Remnd me I wouldn't be bothered.

But not before some Pearl Jam, Tesla, Queensryche, Alter Bridge, Tyketto, Fishbone, Living Colour or (more) Airbourne.

[J0hnny0hm]

You're not alone. I'd like Nickleback too.

[Destro777]

Hearing Nickleback infuses me with rage and makes me want to hurt something. One of the worst bands in recent years.

[XInfamousBullet]

Animals would be badass to play on rockband.

I guess, after reading the other thread, that we won't be getting any NB. I would have liked to see a few of their songs. I read this entire thread and there is some serious NB hate out there. And what's funny is it's usually from people that like the least popular stuff and when they make a thread about said band they're all for the "It's DLC you don't have to buy it" or "You need to broaden your musical tastes" arguments. It's gotten to where it's popular not to like something just because it is popular... which make you as bad as the brain-washed pop radio listeners that you b*tch about.

Just my 3 1/2 cents.

You have a point. But with that said, bad music is bad music, plain and simple. Nicklecrack's music is redundant, uncreative and just plain gross. Nuff said.

If you made a thread about "Live" and I went in and said "Live should never be alowed in RB, Their singer has an awful voice and their lyrics are ret@rded" what would you say? Now I would never do that; firstly because I love Live and they have been one of my fav bands for years, (I was just using them as an example because you listed them as your most wanted band) and secondly because everyone has their own tastes.

I'm not a big fan of acts that just sing and have a backing band, or that don't write their own material, but I would never mock said band or people that listen to them, just because my opinion differs.

People need to be more tolerent, just let people be people, and listen to what they want to listen to, and request what DLC they want to request.

Well this is all a moot point. Chad thinks he's above this game. Thank god.

The same can be said for a lot of bands that have a distinctive style. AC/DC for example have quite a few songs that have a similar tempo and chord progression, Metallica being another. Again I'm just using them as an example. I enjoy both bands.

They very well might be the same instrumental track... but to tell you the truth if I could write the same song over and over and still make millions, I probably would. LOL.

[Munger88]

How You Remind Me, Side of a Bullet, or Animals would be the only songs that would work well. I love Nickelback, but their new single sounds like all the other pop/rock crap on the radio.

Have I said anything in any Death Metal post or to you directly that they shouldn't be aloud in the game? No, I have not. Because I respect your opinion to like that genre of music. Now I think our differences have been resolved here. Let us just go about our forum visits and try not to belittle each other.

You made a gigantic assumption that everyone hating on Nickelback because they are popular only listens to obscure bands because it's "cool."

While I do agree on some accounts, I do not agree with arguments/rants based entirely on assumptions, generalizations, or stereotypes regardless of where they are drawn from.

Also, here's what I am guessing people refer to when they say Nickelback has written the same song twice.

I do hope nickelback fans do get a track one day in RB, because everyone deserves to be catered. I dislike Nickelback myself, but they resently put out a statement that they dont support games like Rockband/Guitar Hero for they believe it hinders people from getting real insturments...

Douches need to talk to some of the Instrument stores on how well they been doing since the release of such games...

I didn't mean or say that, I used them as an example for my point. Sorry if you took it that way. I did however make a generalization that people hate on NB because it is popular to hate on them. Which I do believe is true but I suppose I could try to keep that out of my future rants.:D

[CheezerRox]

No. Please, God, no. I know, I know, dlc is optional, but it would be a waste of a week for dlc.


In all honesty, the same could be said for alot of rock bands, past and present.

So? Doesn't change anything as far as Nickelback sounding all the same, it just makes them LESS original if they're like "alot of rock bands." Really, their just pop "post-grunge" (if you can really call it that) commercial radio sell-out ****. That's something I can't respect. They're like KISS, they're just in it for the money.

[CheezerRox]

Well, that's somewhat true, but a lot of people genuinely hate them, like me.

My reasons: They're sell-outs. You can tell when a band or artist when at least half (give or take one or two) of an entire one of their records are singles. They're a generic pop band that got rich off of making grunge into a pop genre, "post-grunge," and they bring nothing new to the table. There is nothing I can respect them for.

[bryguy393]

not normally a huge nickleback fan, but i have had 'Animals' stuck in my head for over a week, and i can't stop tapping the beat. The lyrics could be a problem, but im sure they could do whatever they did to 'Sir Psycho Sexy' (i dont know what they did). Rockstar and some other popular ones would be nice too.

[gunja]

If you made a thread about "Live" and I went in and said "Live should never be alowed in RB, Their singer has an awful voice and their lyrics are ret@rded" what would you say?

People need to be more tolerent, just let people be people, and listen to what they want to listen to, and request what DLC they want to request.

Again, I see your point. Although I loathe Nickleback, I wouldn't mind seeing them in the game for the people who are longing for it.

As for your argument about LIVE? It's utterly irrelevant, don't bother comparing. Live's lead singer has a decent voice and a range better than most. That's simply fact. You can argue all you want that you might not like his voice. I can run that argument into the ground with fact on several fronts. Live have also written four very, VERY good albums. With lyrics that are meaningful and poetic to a point. I can again, back up my arguments on several fronts if you wish.

MY point is, that Nickelback have no redeeming quality in any of their music. Chad is an average singer at best, who writes god awful lyrics geared towards the vulnerable minds of 15 year olds willing to latch on to the same old sob story over and over again. I've listened to several radio programs, one recently on 102.1 The Edge, where five different Nickleback tracks were layered over one another and were found to have the exact same progression. Fact, that is where I find them to be uncreative and untalented in their studio recording. Their music just isn't very good no matter how you slice it and that's not up for debate. People's taste is purely subjective...doesn't make the music any good. While musical talent is sometimes subjective, it is much easier to be objective in a lot of cases. Anyone here wanna argue that Satriani or Stevie Ray weren't great guitar players or that Mr Bonham wasn't a great drummer, I don't think you do.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

[BuRn7 CaK3]

No. Please, God, no. I know, I know, dlc is optional, but it would be a waste of a week for dlc.

See that's one thing i hate. (No offense) is when people think that the band they hate is a waste of DLC for everyone.

Well it's not. Truly because everyone has a different taste in music. ME, i would say that alot of the DLC we have had is a waste of plenty of weeks worth of DLC. But do i really complain about it no, because other people like those bands.

But it doesn't matter with Nickelback anyways, because chad thinks that everyone should just go pick up a guitar/bass/drums and become a rockstar. And doesn't like GH/RB. Yet i know of a few people who are learning to play guitar because of GH/RB and the bands that they like.

[jrcronlakers]

I ask this. How many people have every DLC that has come out. If you do not own it all then it must have been a wasted week of DLC. Is that what I keep hearing. I do not care what HMX chooses to put in there game. It is there game. If some one would like a particular band then why not get at least one song from that band. HMX should not avoid bands cause others hate it. I believe they do not and the real reason some bands aren't here yet is due to the band they are trying to get and the bureaucracy involved. I have a good chunk of DLC but am thankful when there is something in the weekly DLC I do not like. I got bills to pay. Long story short I would DL some Nickelback.

Actually, it's even worse than this. I suspect (could be a conspiracy theory, but I think it's valid) that not only are Nickelback uncreative and untalented, but that they're actually following a very specific commercial "formula" with each of their singles. They're focus-group tested to be hits. Which would explain both their lack of serious musical chops and their rampant success (not to mention all the haters that see through it)

Anyways, yea nickelback sucks even by today's generic modern rock standards, so no nickelback DLC.

I hate Judas Priest and Metallica... That has absolutely nothing to do with it, compare Nickelback to bands within its own genre instead of popular metal bands. Other post-grunge bands like Audioslave and Foo Fighters blow Nickelback out of the water. Especially Audioslave which is, in my opinion, the best hard rock post-grunge act to date.

I don't really understand all of the hate vibe toward Nickelback, personally they are my fave band, and i would buy anything HMX released, especially some of Dark Horse, since there are quite a few guitar solos on that.

So yeah, would love Nickelback.

In the garbage can with all the other trash...

[ShinraX2]

If we need any song my Nickelback It would have to me animals. That song is amazing

[HeavyMetalKing]

The only album I really liked by Nickelback is Silver Side Up. The Long Road was okay, but it really only had a few songs that I actually enjoyed listening to. After that, most of their stuff became poorly disguised sexual innuendos. The new CD, especially, is guilty of this. It was given to me as a Christmas gift, so I figured, what the hell, I'll give it a listen. I think 8 of the 11 songs were blatantly about sex, and they all sounded EXACTLY the same; the other 3 songs had some distinction to them, but not much. And seriously? In 'Something in Your Mouth' Kroeger might as well have not been a pu55y and just said "You look so much cuter with my d!ck in your mouth", because seriously, if he thought he was veiling that innuendo in anyway, or being clever, he was wrong.

My verdict: If it's off of Silver Side Up, I might buy it if I'm feeling nostalgic. Everything else? No.

[overcookedbacon]

Yes, Nickleback is horrible...

To their credit, it's not that badly preformed. It's just that playing well can't even come close to saving Nickelback's garbage. For a while there I was thinking to myself "you know I've only really ever heard four or five Nickelback songs, so maybe I'm not really fit to judge." As it turns out, the several albums worth of other songs I haven't heard sound exactly like the few I have. Right down to the trashy lyrics, overused guitar riffs and poorly veiled innuendos.

I would absolutely love some Nickel Eye DLC though, but I don't expect anyone here knows who they are.

[theGuttedFish]

Please for the love of all that is good in the world I hope HMX does not waste time on Nickelback. They are terrible and even seeing them in the DLC store would force me to swallow vomit when I browsed passed them.

[mjeromee]

I'd love to see How You Remind Me, or Figured You Out... both would be fun to play!

[BigLouNY]

I just listened to the Dark Horse album not to long ago. At first, I actually could not believe that it was Nickelback. It was a lot more aggressive then I have heard and if not for the lead singer, would have never thought it was them. If you were going to give me an Nickelback, give me that album.

[Zenweaponry]

If Nickelback did come to RB, it would more than likely be DLC. To many people don't want Nickelback, so they probably wouldn't put it on the game.

It wouldn't matter to me because I don't have broadband anyway.

I'd say it's a combination of the following:


Extremely generic sounding music
Similar sound to many other pop-rock bands
Comically bad lyrics in many of their songs
The leader singer seems like a bit of a douche

Not sure why so many people hate them, but I'd like to see the whole "All the right reasons" album.


*shudder* A whole album? I could survive a 6 pack, at least with that we might get some random singles from other bands, but an entire album?

Mostly the first two. I figure it's okay to have an attitude and bad lyrics if you make up for it with the music, but with Nickelback it's just generic mid-paced alternative rock ballad after generic mid-paced alternative rock ballad, with most of their songs sounding more or less the same. That's why I've always figured that if they did release a Nickelback DLC, they could just make one note chart and use the same one for every song.

Fixed, but yeah; pretty much this.

[sergueicano]

Am i the only one that would like to see some Nickelback DLC :confused:

I wanna too! I like "Something in your mouth" on te last CD, but any song of Nickelback is good!

[gcooldude]

Hope we get some of theirs someday.

[RockerJG]

Gotta Be Somebody would be awesome to play

A lot of Nickelback songs would be

[classicrockdude]

Nickelback.....please.......no

[Mikey35]

I would love to have Nickelback in the game, Gotta Be somebody would be perfect.

[16FloorPlan]

ockstar would be absolutely perfect.


Would love to play Rockstar.

Also "Animals". The drums would be insane!

[ladysphinx]

No you aint! I'd love to see a song or two in there by them. Althou not just ANY song... only certian songs would fit... Burn It to the Ground is a really good one:)

the video posted above of the rocks is funny. Portugal seems like a tough crowd... Saw a similar video with the same type of thing happening to Guns and Roses there...

The two big reasons why so many people hate them:
- Their sound is unbelievably generic, they have nothing unique about them. Their instrumentals are bland, boring and often cut-and-pasted from song to song.
- Their lyrics are utterly terrible. They have the depth of a mud puddle in the middle of the Sahara, and are often poorly veiled misogynistic innuendos.

They write the sort of music I'd expect from a band trying to ironically portray mainstream music, but they're actually serious about it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nickelback is the sort of music that I expect can only be enjoyed by those who only hear music, but aren't actually listening. There's nothing special about them, and they get really annoying really fast if you pay the slightest bit of attention.

It's not that I just don't respect them as "artists" (I'm using that term very loosely) because I don't like their music. There's nothing to respect about lyrics which only serve to convey Chad Kroeger's depravity set to power chords and generic drum beats.

Love 'em or hate 'em, you're probably looking at future Rock 'N Roll Hall of Famers in Nickleback. I, for one, would enjoy a few songs....

Far Away
Saving Me
Animals

This is the first time I've ever had to post a absolutely f**cking NOT list:
PHOTOGRAPH
ROCKSTAR

...NO!!!

1. I've explained countless times WHO first reported that quote, and said that they (the journalistic HACKS that wrote that damn story on CVG) pull THAT crap all the damn time. I've had my run in with them, and yes, they ARE lying, 360 fanboy douchebags (not saying that it's BAD to like the 360, but THEY are FANBOYS).
2. Why are all of you saying that you don't want anything from Nickelback as DLC or on disc when we were forced to place utter crap like THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6DvHjHXZSU) to get through all of RB2?

Visions is far, far better than anything Nickelback has ever done and will ever do

[darkpowrjd]

Dude, I like a lot of metal, and Visions is FAR from anything I like. What the HELL was that woman (hard to believe that it WAS a woman singing that) saying?

Trust me, if we could tolerate THAT...

[Jintar]

I wouldn't mind some Nickelback, they have some good songs.:)

[solidsnakejt]

Nickeback are a great band, id love to have a 4pack or something

seriously....cant believe he liked VISIONS !!!!
what the hell is wrong with the world today ???

NNNOOOOOoooooo........

[General Lein979]

[bse523]

Less is more in this case. And NO Nickelback = the most.

Kinda helps when the devs themselves don't want this generic junk on their game.

[timmay9]

How about no.

[chumsicles]

seriously....cant believe he liked VISIONS !!!!
what the hell is wrong with the world today ???

NNNOOOOOoooooo........

Never said I liked Visions, but it is much more tolerable than every Nickelback song ever.


I'll tell you what's wrong with the world today: Some people actually like Nickelback
