Music at its lowest point

Listening to Nickelback and its lead singer Chad Kroeger is similar to drinking sulfuric acid whilst tightening your testicles in a vice. The gravel like voice with a Canadian accent is painful for me let alone what it must be like for Chad to belt out each time he eats a microphone. A man who resembles the Paddle Pop lion cannot be taken seriously.

I have read comments on the world wide interweb from people residing in Alberta (Chad's home town) apologising for what came from their humble town. That is one of the cardinal rules of being famous, make your home town proud. I can assure you tha gay people are no longer buying Nickelback CD's after a twitter quote from Chat read as follows: "Just had a stylist tell me that even though she loved my music, straightening my hair makes me look gay. how many gays are millionaire singers" - What incredible insight into how to alienate people.

There was a generic button created for this band, this button resides in all pop/rock music recording studios, its called the 'Nickleback' button. When the band played their strange out of tune riffs and poorly written lyrics, the button would magically tune it into something the radio stations are happy to play. That is my take on how Nickelback have made money.

Three-power cord songs like those played by the band are outdated rubbish that remind me of talentless high school kids on stage at the yearly review. Chad likens his talent to his bank account, by continuously defending himself with the same old line, he has millions of dollars and the poor people just have to deal with it. It reminds me of a quote from Ahmet Ertegun "Just because you've sold millions of records doesn't mean you're good. McDonald's sells a lot of hamburgers."
