Nickelback is an alternative metal/rock band. One of their songs is 'Hero', a spiderman track, though it was a collaboration. Just some background information as an introduction.

Ok, when I view videos of them on Youtube, no matter how many views it has, there's always a slammer that calls them NickelCrap. It annoys me but then people do have their views. The thing that bothers me is that, does Nickelback has such a large hate group? I don;t see this kind of talk on videos of other singers, lets say Akon.

And there was the stone throwing thing in Portugal. It really makes fans' blood boil....

So what are your views?

All bands' music sound alike, they just focus on a few genres.

That's not true at all. Most bands, who have actual talent, progress with their music. Growing musically with each album and gradually getting better and better. Nickelback has made the same mediocre, uninspiring, worthless record over and over again.

Its not an issue if they are metal or not


Nickelback is not a metal band. Issue solved.

Some people have to much time to waste, add that with internet anonymity and you get someone who spends all day long posting single worded criticism without explaining why they feel that way.

Personally I'm not to familiar with the music and i doubt i ever will be but even if i don't like something i would not insult them. People like different things and variety is what makes the world go round.

My internet lags so it became a double thread. Nickelback does make the same kind of music, but some people do enjoy all of them.

I wouldn't say Nickelback make all the same music. Personally i would say their Silver Side Up album is much more rocky than their All The Right Reasons album. Listen to songs like Far Away and Savin' Me, and then listen to songs like Side of a Bullet or anything off of their Silver Side Up album and they sound very different.
Also (correct me if im wrong) but im pretty sure that Hero wasn't by Nickelback, it was by Chad Kroeger (Nickelback's singer).

I like Chad Kroeger's voice & their song This is how you remind me. I like all kinds of music heavy metal to opera music is an extension of the artist who creates it.

Please give more than one word answers. That will help. I will flag these spamming comments that do not help in any way except expressing hatred for the band.

they sound to generic for my taste so i don't care for them. I don't view them as real rockers.

I don't think you ever replied to what I said, Nichodemus. Here it is again:
