“All this time, Nickelback had the stones to stand up to Donald Trump” links

Nickelback complained about Donald Trump’s use of their video in his tweet, so Trump’s video was taken down. I enjoy all of the Nickelback memes too, but keep in mind: Trump also had a full-scale meltdown yesterday in front of the press. [Pajiba]

    I’ll say it. I am not ashamed. I love Nickelback and I still listen to their music. Those lyrics made me whole when dealing with two major & absolutely heartbreaking former relationships in my early 20’s.

    “How You Remind Me” is gold!

    still confused what started the whole ‘Nickleback is terrible’ joke…seems like there are a *lot* worse acts deserving hate & yet somehow, they became a joke? Very random. Tbh the joke is so dumb and tired.

      Partially because Chad Kroeger is a giant douchebag. They’re pretty formulaic while trying to keep up the illusion of being hard rockers – it’s like the follow the genre too well, and it comes off as not being genuine. They’re a mixture of trying too hard and a weird Creed-like arrogance. It’s got a weird trashy redneck rock and roll vibe and honestly some really sketchy lyrics when it comes to women. Many of their songs sound the same. For me one of the biggest things is that even if one of their songs was ‘okay’ – it was constant exposure. I’m Canadian. We have rules when it comes to Canadian content and radio. And Nickelback was basically inescapable.

      Corey Taylor said it best “Chad Kroeger is to rock what KFC is to chicken”

    But, Chad Kroeger has the same tan as Trump. Anyways, still, good on him.

      I literally laughed out loud at work so now everyone in the departures terminal is staring at me. Oops.

      I don’t know if we can assume that the video was removed by request from members of Nickleback.

      The publishing rights are usually split between the writers and the publishing company. My guess is that the publishing company automatically has these kinds of things removed from social media when the music is used without permission.

    “Almost Family” sounds like it may have lifted its premise from a foreign TV show or movie. I could swear I’ve heard all that before.

    • manda says:

      It’s an australian show called sisters, IIRC. It’s on netflix, or it was. I thought it was pretty funny

      • Bella Bella says:

        Ah, thank you! I knew I’d seen it!!

        With all the talented writers in the U.S., you’d think we could come up with our own stuff.

        I always hate when they remake foreign tv shows and movies, which are always excellent, and the U.S. versions are meh. Don’t they dare touch one of my favorite TV shows, “Rita”!!!! (Obviously highly recommend.)

      I thought the same thing! We’ve already got this one – make something else, FFS.

        If you’re in need of a laugh, please report to the Dlisted link above (but come straight back here). The comments are comedy gold, with the bonus of the “Crazy B*tch Wedding March” video – NOT AT ALL SFW. Like going to the county fair, it will make you feel better about whatever’s gone wrong in your day/week/life.

    Holy crap, I forgot that Nickelback existed.
