"To quote my all-time fav band Nickelback..."

[Wetzelbill]

Yeah, this was a Facebook comment made by somebody I went to school with, in reference to, well something it doesn't really matter. What matters is that I showed great restraint by not replying to it in what surely would have been in a sarcastic, smartass, malicious and wholly justified manner.

Of course, I probably shortened my life by keeping all of that inside and pushing it deep down, but still, it looks like I did my good deed for the day.

1. Stop fighting it. Just embrace your inner Chad Kroeger-ness.

You know he's right.

[Wetzelbill]

2. dude, don't even play around

:) Next you'll be telling me to go to Olive Garden.

[jobycom]

5. Love the breadsticks, dude. You know you do.

[no name no slogan]

3. Could've ben worse. It could've been Coldplay, or, God forbid

Smashing Pumpkins

[jobycom]

4. Or Rush!

[no name no slogan]

6. Now that's just inhuman

As an aside, one of my bass player's favorite bands is Rush. I give him shit about it occasionally, just because.

[jobycom]

13. I agree. Rush is inhumanly awful.

Good drummer, though.

Nickelback is just mediocre.

[ksilvas]

20. Agreed,

Those that cannot appreciate Rush,
are those that are angry, unimaginative, and dull, they will eventually,
marry pretty chubby girls that will give them head but make them old unsatisfied republicans.
Yes, its true, your fire will burn out and you will
become all that you despise, cause your uninteresting and mediocre.
All that you find cutting edge will become tomorrows, "can you believe
we listened to this crap."
Like Wham and the Thompson Twins.

[Dr. Strange]

12. Locking.

Please wait to be escorted off the premises.

[jobycom]

15. And loading.

You don't have to escort me. Just pump the first couple of shrieks from "Tom Sawyer," and I'll leave. You might have to mop up my lunch when I'm gone.

[EastTennesseeDem]

8. No. It couldn't have been worse

and no good friendship is worth hearing or seeing the words "my favorite band Nickelback".

[AwakeAtLast]

7. My husband kids me that the only reason I like them

is because the lead singer looks like him. :yoiks:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

9. To quote stand-up comic (and "Devil's Rejects" roadie) Brian Posehn:

"I do think certain kinds of music can make you violent. Like, when I listen to Nickelback, it makes me want to kill Nickelback."

[DS1]

10. What was the quote?

:D

[Wetzelbill]

18. Nice try

but I'm not going to be fooled into going and looking. :)

[Kat45]

11. I like Nickelback.

My boyfriend does too, and he had no idea that people are always making fun of them. He almost didn't believe me when I told him that the only time I hear Nickelback mentioned is when someone is making fun of them. He said he thinks they're quite good and he can't understand why anyone would hate them so much. BTW, he's a musician. :D

[lildreamer316]

14. Husband and I love them too, and

we can't understand it either. He's a dj (17 years).
We saw them in concert; and they sounded so good it was amazing. Put on a great, great show.

[Wetzelbill]

16. I used to kind of like them too

especially the song Chad Kroeger did with Santana, then I realized how fun it is to make fun of them. Being a jerk is just my nature.

[lildreamer316]

19. Eh,

you know we luv ya anyway. :silly:

[ksilvas]

17. Quite the opposite.

You have shortened your life by being untrue to your true nature and good taste.
By not subtly insinuating, that your friend is not only a fool
but their life will never be fully lived by enjoing such utter shit.
No good will come from letting mediocrity breed within our hearts.
A smack in the face from a friend is better than letting them eat an egg sandwich
that you know has gone bad.

But be nice about it.

[enigmatic]

21. Nickelback

I'll even play Avril Lavigine on the station before them.

The list of terrible stories about Chad Kroeger coming from here is longer than War And peace; he makes Scott Stapp sound like Van Morrison...
