Why is Nickelback known to be a bad band?

I think at some point they just reached saturation point. They pumped out so many hits and radio friendly songs that you just couldn’t get away from them and even the masses got sick of them. Not to mention the fact that you had bands like Theory of a Deadman that sounded just like NB. I literally thought Bad Bad Girlfriend was NB. There was a time when Freebird and Stairway to Heaven would make most people throw up a little in their mouth when it came on the radio they got played so much.

Chad has even said that the comment in this video is when the hate seemed to start. Jump to 2:50 in. Couple that with the fact that Chad somewhat had Fred Durst syndrome as well and just didn’t know when to shut his mouth and I think you have the recipe for their demise.

It’s not really that complicated. It had nothing to do with them being signed to Roadrunner and them not being a heavy band. Collective Soul and Dream Theatre were signed to them as well. The first song by NB that got airplay was Breathe off the Curb album which I thought was a good song. The rest of the album was mediocre at best.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

Long story short I think Chad was a good writer and just had a knack for writing songs with good hooks that appealed to the masses. I’ve played in metal bands all my life and most of the hate I seen was from metal musicians in the beginning. My response was always, you can say what you want but, the bottom line is they’re doing it at the highest level. I never seen them as sell outs and never thought all their songs sounded the same though Chads voice was somewhat one dimensional.
