Shitty Music. (The Nickelback Thread)

[center27j]

As long as the festivals are making hand over fist, they probably don’t give a shit who the acts are unfortunately.

exactly, that garbage fest practically sells out before the lineup released. its a social event, id estimate about 25% of the crowd is actually attending for the music, the rest are there to take pictures (of themselves). its pathetic.

The fact I see Bruno Mars as the 2nd name on the list makes me seriously weep for how awesome this festival used to be in the 1990's.

I thought Metallica headlining Lollapalooza in 1996 was bad but this is blasphemous. Perry has betrayed the reasons of why he created Lollapalooza in the first place. I pray for some band to come around and just destroy everything that is unholy.

Gotta make that money some how.

For what, a dying music career that no one cares about?

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

The more I hear from Imagine Dragons and Awolnation, the more I dislike both.

I'm also starting to realize I can barely even tell them apart.

When imagine Dragons’s Radioactive hit airwaves it wasn’t bad given most radio rock. I wasn’t a fan but it was ok.

However in 2018, fuck the band to hell for how trite and overused their music is. Does every commercial have to utilize their work? How many things can Believer be tacked onto?

Haha. Yeah, just about every one of their song sounds like it can be used in a commercial- from Diet Coke to Valtrex.

I do like the chorus in It’s Time, and Radioactive seems to be an exception rather than the rule to song writing for this shitty band. Ugh, that Thunder song is fucking horrid.

this is cringecore

Needs more compression overall and some auto-tune wouldn't hurt.

[bobbie solo]

normally I would put the Killers in this thread with no additional comment needed. But am I crazy or is this song actually good, or at the very least tolerable?



Flowers' voice/lyrics can still be grating at times, but musically this song is on point.

[Krazy]

I’m a casual The Killers fan. Do people really think they’re “shitty”?...

[runs for dear life!]

[thevoid99]

I liked the first 2 albums the Killers did but they ended up trying to be like every other band like U2 and that turned me off. Especially that song "Human" where they were definitely ripping off Hunter S. Thompson and not even acknowledge it.

Human is (was?) awesome live IMHO. Check it out on YT where they played it as a festival (Rock AM Ring?) as an opener in I 2009. There was a really cool version of them too on some MTV music awards thing as well with some awesome production right around that time.

Can’t say I’m a fan or follow Hunter S Thompson’s work- no reason honestly. What’s the tie in to that song?

It's just that it took the line "are we human or are we dancers?"

Man... Just when I thought they couldn't sound any worse. Hand of Blood EP still brings back some nostalgic feel to me and they had a sense of promise, but man, they have fallen off the deep end hard.

THUNDER (THUNDER) THUNDER! TH-TH-THUNDER, *CLAP CLAP CLAP* LIGHTNIN' AND-A THUNDER.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. I'll admit the first 30-ish seconds of "Radioactive" are awesome and I wished the song followed that more, but the first time I heard it, I'm pretty sure I turned it off after the chorus.

Unrelated: I think Tech Nine's music is awful. I just had to say it somewhere. There's some fuckin' stellar rap and hip hop out there that I admire and respect, even stuff I don't particularly like, but people hyping him up just because "aw omg he's from KC area you have to love him omg he's representing us" are insane. I also don't personally know anyone that's into Tech Nine that doesn't also say "Insane Clown Posse is actually pretty good when you give them a chance."

Any time rap like this gets brought up I just think of crystal meth.

First album is awesome. Scream Aim Fire onwards is crap.

[thevoid99]

I just saw that Coachella had a yodeling kid from Walmart or something at the show and he performed. Boy.... you know when you see something like that. That's a moment where you can say "no thanks, I'm done" Coachella just jumped the shark.

One of my ex girlfriends is from the same town these shit bastards are from. No idea why I posted them now randomly as they were never brought to my attention even by accident.

I remember those guys. They sucked ass.

This may be an unpopular opinion but even one second of Sublime makes me cringe and want to hurt someone.

That's not unpopular at all. In fact, I'm annoyed as fuck by Sublime as people seem to play that fucking album every time. It's often frat boys or some kind of asshole.

[Space Suicide]

So that Post Malone guy had another album come out today...I don’t get it? What’s so great?

Puke.

Puke indeed as with much of today's music.

I can't stand Sublime... and it seems like every time I venture into the Long Beach area they're heralded all around you like gods.

But didn't the lead singer overdose and die over 20 years ago?

They're like classic Ska-Punk, but Ska-Punk is an acquired taste, for sure.

(I admit I really liked their final self-titled album back in 1996, but I'm really into Ska, so....)

LOL, now I'm gonna have Santeria stuck in my head for days ... smiling knowing that I'm making people unhappy in this thread as I skank around the room, ESAD
