Nickelback…yeah, it hurts.
There are some bands that seem to be in vogue for just a moment, and when their 15 minutes is over, they end up being a reference point for mockery. Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, and Right Said Fred could fall into this unfortunate category. However, no other band has suffered as much negative association, and kept on rocking, as Alberta’s Nickelback. The most recent one-two punch is one part scientific, and one part democratic.
Spin has reported that a dating website shows Nickelback to be a turnoff. “Telling a potential partner you’re really into Nickelback is sexual kryptonite,” writes the Spin staffer. In a separate PR snafu, Rolling Stone is reporting that a petition has been started in Detroit to stop Nickelback from playing the Lions Vs. Packers half-time show. The petitions states “Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they chose Nickelback?” This is not just the grievances of a few angry fans, there are already 20,000+ signatures. ”Does anyone even like Nickelback?” reads the petition, sounding like a high school playground discussion.
Nickelback have a new album coming out November 21st, maybe with this release they will win over all the neigh sayers proving once and for all, radio friendly stadium rock didn’t die with the 80’s.
