taking sides: nickelback vs pain

the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 03:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Bring on the pain!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 15 April 2004 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Besides, weren't Pain the punk band in that CHiPs episode?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 15 April 2004 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG

OMG!!
They just played a remix of two different Nickleback songs,that is unedited, and the chorus and the versus happen at the same time in each song!

That made me laugh!

If I was wealthy enough, I'd pay off each member of Nickleback to lay down their instruments for all time.

Ha ha. Drummer Ryan Vikedal sacked by Nickelback.

James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 29 January 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Is it me or is that Nickelback megamix kinda cool?

Ferg, Ah (Ferg), Saturday, 29 January 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

It's me, isn't it?

Ferg, Ah (Ferg), Saturday, 29 January 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

It's so you.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 29 January 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Good god:

"I had to direct the meeting because they kept blabbing about my playing and that I wasn't happy with the band. It was just a bunch of lame excuses because no one could tell me the deal.

"I had to tell them to cut the s-- and get to the point. And even then they couldn't bring themselves to tell me I was done."

Vikedal says his replacement will be Three Doors Down drummer Daniel Adair, who is originally from Vancouver.

Nickelback and Three Doors Down toured together last year, and Vikedal says he figures the change was in the works even back then.

On the prospect of Three Doors Down now needing a drummer, he shoots back, "No, thanks. I'm done with them."

Now, he says, "I feel like there's a weight off my shoulders but I'd like the honest truth to come out. I feel pretty betrayed by what was once called a family."

Vikedal says he's going to take a year off to study music in Boston, with teachers from the Berklee College of Music.

There is SO MUCH WRONG in this passage. All he needed to say after that was that he was working on achieving a state of Clear.

3 Doors Back + Nickeldown! Tonight at the Amex Mortgage Ltd. Superdome!

miccio (miccio), Saturday, 29 January 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

The Nickelback mix is kinda old hat now, but I really dug the way the two songs harmonized. I'm guessing whoever put it together did some pitch & time compression to get them in sync.

Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 29 January 2005 16:56 (twenty years ago)

Both 3 Doors Down and Nickelback have one song each I actually enjoy, "Kryptonite" and "How Your Remind Me" respectively (unsurprisingly their biggest non-ballad hits). I may prefer 3 Doors Down overall because the singer doesn't sound like his colon is in disrepair, but I really wish both would just stop.

miccio (miccio), Saturday, 29 January 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Though that guy from Seether wins the Bloody Stool Award of 2004. At least the Puddle Of Mudd guy sounds entertainingly mental.

miccio (miccio), Saturday, 29 January 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

I feel pretty betrayed by what was once called a family.

I guess that's what happens when you give sass to Mamma Chad.

nickelback and 3 doors down are BEYOND turgid man, they're like that viscous black oil stuff from the X-files that gets into your brain and plants a virus in your dna!

I can say with complete certainty that there is nothing I value in this "genre." Please make it stop; I beg you.

Actually, this is great. Now, when anyone requests a Nickelback track at your local radio station (all over the world), you can point them in this direction and never get bothered by them again!

StanM, Saturday, 1 August 2009 08:33 (sixteen years ago)

gah...Nickleback were the worst offenders until Three Doors Down did that totally horrible "Citizen Soldier" shit.

I'm not usually one to get pious about such things, but Chad Kroeger has always come across as the most loathsome careerist ogre in existence.

Freedom, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 22:05 (fifteen years ago)

I dont understand what happened here at all.

Bill Magill, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 22:18 (fifteen years ago)

That was from a hoax Chad FB account.

tylerw, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 22:36 (fifteen years ago)

It's quite a good impersonator, in that case.

Nickelback's Chad Kroeger may rock a King of the Jungle-worthy mane, but that doesn't mean the bro-rock hair farmer will be welcomed by Detroit Lions football fans

Hardy Rock Anthem (crüt), Friday, 4 November 2011 06:12 (thirteen years ago)

If the D can rally around a Robocop statue, they can surely beat back the Nickleback.

funny that this has come up, was just rewatching the Curb season with the Seinfeld reunion and thought a lot about this

always weird to see him with a full head of hair

frogbs, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 17:49 (four years ago)

I remember the marketing meeting where that video was first screened for us. "Funereal" might describe the mood best.

but also fuck you (unperson), Tuesday, 15 December 2020 18:11 (four years ago)

Holy shot that video is hilarious

DJP, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 18:30 (four years ago)

I watched that video on mute for a while and then turned on the sound. Cue surprise that this is indeed a Nickelback song, i.e. angsty and grimfaced, when the visuals would have you expect something closer to Smash Mouth. I don't know if there's another band that's as much of a punchline where the music is just incompatible with that vibe.

Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 16 December 2020 11:45 (four years ago)

Looked it up and that video was directed by Bill Fishman, who directed Tapeheads (along with several Ramones videos!) back in the day.

Is the name of this band a play on the pickle back drink?

calstars, Sunday, 27 March 2022 18:14 (three years ago)

the story i remember was one of them worked at Starbucks and a common thing came to $x.95 and he was constantly asking people "do you want your nickel back?"

maf you one two (maffew12), Sunday, 27 March 2022 18:33 (three years ago)

pretty sure that the pickleback shot was invented in the 2000s.

peace, man, Sunday, 27 March 2022 18:46 (three years ago)

the story i remember was one of them worked at Starbucks and a common thing came to $x.95 and he was constantly asking people "do you want your nickel back?"

to which they would invariably reply: “But how? You… Remind me!”

celebrating ten years of constant posting (breastcrawl), Sunday, 27 March 2022 18:47 (three years ago)

no no another guy worked at a video store and with the delinquent customers he'd be all putting the tapes in the machine, showing them "THIS is HOW you rewind me"
