Site Pokes Fun at Nickelback Song Similarity


All Things Considered, January 4, 2005 · Can a band plagiarize itself? One listener in Canada has implied as much by taking two songs by the band Nickelback and superimposing them over one another to emphasize the similarity. Sean Cole reports.

It wouldnt surprise me.

[Diamondjimi]

Nickleback= Shit

[Rikk]

Lots of good new bands out there.

NICKELBACK is not one of them.

[Flash Bastard]

Are they still around? There's only one band I hate more than Creed and it's Nickelback. Oh, and those Matchbox 20 faggots.

ARE YOU KIDDING?????

I have two words for you...................




THE KINKS


They made an entire career off of recyclying ONE riff

[stringfelowhawk]

You mean Nickelback and Creed are two different bands? Holy interchangeable faceless assholes Batman!
That changes my opinion of them....

Now I think they're both shit. They record shit. They play shit. They whine about shit. They look like shit. They eat shit. Guess they are what they eat.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck don't tell me its a peacock!

Now you really don't know what you're talking about...no offense. Yes, their first few singles did all sound like that one riff. But after that, they made a bunch of albums and singles leading right up to the early 90s that sounded nothing like YOU REALLY GOT ME.

Seriously...they are a great band beyond YOU REALLY GOT ME.

CREED - Awful horrible shit.
NICKELBACK - Maybe the worst band ever.
MATCHBOX 20 - Almost the worst band ever.

All horrible bands.

There IS good newer music, though. RADIOHEAD, THE HIVES, plenty of other bands.

Nickelback and Matchbox 20 do surely suck,but NOBODY is worse than Greed! And just to prove it,here's a picture of Scotty making love to his own reflection.

Heard it before, but it's still the same 'ol NickelShit.

(Looks like there's an epidemic called "the same chords".)

[Mezro]

Nickleback: more like Coinback - doing it all for a bit of fame and some cash.

Hey, if that bland, lanky bitch Chad Kroger can buy a nice large house, a few cars and stash a few million away to live off of it was all worth it.

Mezro...memo to Chad: you have some bank - try a new hair style that does not involve the RoboCut...

Radiohead and the Hives suck shit as well. Some other bands that suck shit are TOOL, Audioslave, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Yellowcard,All those new death metal bands, hell I can go on and on. They all fucking suck because they never write any catchy tunes with melody that doesn't grate on your ears.


Gimme my CVH, Priest, Maiden, GnR and all the other good shit anyday over that trash.

Next time you make a joke, put a wink next to it or something.;)

Dude, you need to relax a bit. You made a point about recycling one riff, I disagreed. It's called conversation.:) :(

[Panamark]

Ive heard that side by side Nickelback thing..
Makes you realize how formulated they are.

Nickelback ???

Give me a whole fucking dollar back thankyou !!! :(

I like how the guy also played a Nikelback song against an Averil Lavine song and how well they matched up. Makes you wonder who is really writing these pop rock songs...?

[bueno bob]

You know what the really funny thing is? Bands still riffs from themselves ALL THE TIME. Iron Maiden's done it, Black Sabbath's done it...it's actually a pretty common thing.

[WACF]

There is most cetainly a formula for radio singles....

How many times has a song started with "I heard the news today...." or "woke up this morning...."

Radio riffs are a dime a dozen....stupid top 40 radio....

[stringfelowhawk]

That is sooo true! Its all cliched as hell...

[LoungeMachine]

Let's get real for a moment

MOST radio smashes over the years have been one of the following:


G-C-D

A-D-E

C-F-G

D-A-B-E


And when in doubt, there's ALWAYS the good old I - IV - V


It's only Rock and Roll But I like it.........

Didn`t John Fogerty get sued by his old record company for making a record that sounded too much like himself?

Yeah, this shit has happened before.
