Raging About The Junos

[glo]

Can you believe that Nickelback is nominated for 6 or 7 Junos this year?

This outrages me. The music isn't original, the lyrics arn't original, and Chad is so stuck up it's sick.

OH EM GEE DO I NO!!112

i think people are too quick to rag on nickleback because they're popular. That said, I don't own any of their albums or have any of their songs on my computer, but I don't mind "How you remind me" and "Photograph".

[S.E. Hardy]

Glo-what did you do to that poor dog????

[Dan #2]

I don't like Nickleback either, but the sooner we shut up about them the sooner we can forget about them.

 

That said, i love their song "Just For."

Glo-what did you do to that poor dog????

I did nothing!!! That isn't my dog! It says right there! I promise!

I dont mind Nickelback, but there just isnt that much competition this year. After Nickelback is Diana Krall with a christmas album :angry: ... It doesnt get more origonal than that ;) Hopefully we get some better bands coming up to take the glory from nickelback.

[Crusader]

Nickelback is awesome lmao. They have that one song template which totally rocks.

[CaptainRocket]

Just watch the best alternative album part. That's about it for originality at the Juno's

[benneb]

they have there moments but there only meh...

The way I see it.. if artists are really artists they don't care about the awards and the glitz

i'd be happy to get an award.

 

even 'real' artists can be proud when they're honoured for their work.

[glo]

true, but there's so much hype. Hype sucks

[borntohula]

i hate awards. they're so unnecessary and a total wank fest when you watch them. the speeches, the people who actually get the awards in the first place. it's all a sham.

 

take the grammys for instance, the judges arent even required to listen to the albums they vote for!

 

the junos are no better. the fact that TWO canadian idols are competing for awards this year makes me sick and proves that the judges weren't listenning in that case either. these things are not about honoring talent, achievement, or even being canadian. i hate them. they just commodify the music you listen to even further and have absolutely no fucking merit.

I didn't know that about the judges! That's nasty. Who are the judges even? I need to get on that board

[Goudie]

has anyone ever listend lyrics for photograph?? its one of the worst songs ive ever heard! i figured everyone here would hate it aswell. older nickleback is good like leader of men and breathe but lately they suck.

[folk singer]

i bought their album "the state" when it came out, back when barely anyone knew who they were, I thought they were pretty good at the time....but then I was an idiot and bought silver side up, expecting a similar album. It was definately one of the worst CD purchases I've made. The funny thing is that it took me a couple listen throughs of it to realize how freaking repetitive it was. I'd say the the State is definately the pinacle of their musical genius, and I mean...it wasnt even an amazing album, it was just pretty good.

[glo]

Agreed! Older NB is decent, but now it's the same song over and over. Same melody, similar theme, even lyrics sometimes.

[glo]

Why in Halifax?

 

Edit: I wish I could've just edited my last post cause I feel kinda stupid posting two times in a row

anyone else see the irony of everyone making the same "their music is too repetative" arguement? on that note, their music is way too repetative...anyone who perms their hair shouldn't be a rockstar.

[scheurminator]

the junos seem to be a waste of time this year

[betterbutterfly]

man, all i care about is that Nickelback doesn't win for 'Photograph'. i can't stand that song.
