Metallica WERE good, but they aren’t anymore.

Nickelback just make me sad. The goatees, the bad hair, the fact that they look like they smell….it’s just not on.

There’s a girl at my work who loves Nickelback, and tries to pass them off as a viable alternative to the rest of the proles who like Amy Winehouse/Adele/whatever-pish-pop-music-idiots-like-at-the-moment. She can’t accept that they are the fast food equivelant of hammering nails into your own balls as opposed to the soft metal pish that they are. She used to like what is now known as happy hardcore, ie music for neds to take E to. And drive their Vauxhall Nova’s to. Y’know, Halford’s heroes. I like this girl, but at the same time, would like to take a nail gun to her.
Some people are beyond our help, only death would help them. She actually thinks that Metallica are good, too.
I despair, fellow ELM-ers.

nickelback – if westlife tried to re-invent themselves as a grungeband nickelback would be the result.

Oh, and I think Nickelback genuinely believe they are the 21st Century Zep.

Never see Janet and Michael in the same room, it’s all I’m saying.

Sampling can indeed be great: Janet Jackson sampling Joni Mitchell’s ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ always gets me! Sad though that may be.

nickelback , they are supremely awful arent they ; I think so many of those type of bands realise their awfulness but just get on with it, nickelback – I suspect – seem to believe they are special.
Take a look at the top picture on their web page as they gaze to middle distance like lobotomised mormons.

It depends on how they do it. Is there imagination? Is there flair?

For instance, if someone recorded the sound of them hitting Choad Kroeger of Nickelback over the head with a baseball bat and then looped it into a 3 minute tune, I’d give them kudos.

I should qualify the above remark……..lets take nuclear weapons for example, nothing wrong with them per se…but in the hands of idiots, well, better tighten your sphincter ; or how about religion , again , nothing really wrong with it – if thats your thang – but again ,once the bozo`s seize control of the available global franchise opportunities – armagideon time .Or how about the internet ? any malcontent can……..ok, thats not such a good example ……..

so anyway,

sampling ?

bag of shite….almost , but not quite, always

Abso-fuckin-lutely. I want to hear Warren Zevon, frankly.

On a better note, the sample of the incredible bongo band’s “Apache” by grand master flash remains one of the best moments in hip hop, IMHO.
