...when Jerry Cantrell is on a tour with Nickelback.

OPENING for them to be specific. cry





I know this happened a while ago, but I just read about it in the iTunes music library and it rather shocked me. I might cry myself to sleep now.

Rock isn't dead because Jerry Cantrell chose to tour with a shit band. It just means he likes a shit band, the man is still a genius.

At least it's good to know that METAL LIVES ON!! \m/0_o\m/
plus, I think Nickelback is pretty good. Not one of my favorites, though.

SnakeEyes
No... Nickelback does infact suck... they're not good... at all.

PINBALL
Nickelback is pure shit......

That's no good. Although QotSA opening for NIN was a bit silly; obviously not on the same scale though.

BackFire
I think a thing of greater concern is that Nickelback still exists.

What makes them "pretty good"?

Another question: What constitutes as bad in your opinion if Nickleback are "pretty good"?

sadly, they're the kind of crap that canada is offering to the world. let's see, we've given celine dion, shania(hot but her music sucks), nickleback...jesus. i feel ashamed. thank god for arcade fire.

Dr. Strangelove
Well Canada has also produced Skinny Puppy, Rush, and The Birthday Massacre so it evens out.

mysterio69
but celine dion is the epitome of all evil. and nickleback are her minions. they must be stopped at all costs.

Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Godspeed...

Although a few good bands can't possibly match America's 100% production quality record.

The Backstreet Boys, New Kids, Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, Britney Spears.















Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, 50 Cent, Limp Bizkit.










Kelly Clarkson, Michael Bolton, Billy Ray Cyrus, Garth Brooks.

I have a confession to make....I like Garth Brooks.

Alpha Centauri
Who doesn't like Garth Brooks?

Oh yeah, me.

Good God! eek! I didn't know so many people hated Nickleback! As I said, I don't think they're bad. Some of their songs are pleasing to my ear- so sue me. Tell me... what bands do you like? If I say Nickleback is "pretty good", what do I call bad? I don't call anything bad. If someone likes a certain band or styles, more power to them. I may not have the same taste in music, but then again, it's not my business, now is it?

Avril is actually Canadian, so you can't put that freak show on us Yanks.

Yes well, the U.S. produces, quantity wise, the most quality bands while also producing the most shit. I'll freely admit that; although, I'm glad The Libertines were not formed in my country. stick out tongue

No need to get defensive, I don't bite. Just asking a question, as I find their music to be so gut-wrenching mediocre and cringe inducing that I cannot understand why anyone would actually care for them.

As for bands I like: Busted, Poison, and a little Chumbawamba spreaded on top.

Retracted. Add Tiffany in her place.

Smallville
I am from Canada (Sorry, not my choice) and I have to say that there are some good Canadian Bands. The Tea Party, Finger 11, Tragically Hip to name a few.

Anyways... rock is not dead, but dying. It needs new blood to rejuvenate it.

I would suggest Justin Timberlake. She deserves to be on that list.

Victor Von Doom
A good choice.

I know this thread's supposed to be about the death of rock, however I feel compelled to add:

bad: trews, nickleback, simple plan, avril lavigne (trust us we don't want them in our country either) and you get the point

good: broken social scene, arcade fire, feist, metric, hot hot heat, silverstein, alexisonfire etc.
