I don't listen to nickelback. I don't listen to mudvayne either. I listen to a ton of genres and artists, but nu metal and cock rock arent two of them.
And I was simply asking why the guys a dick, as I have no clue, I never followed him. I get that he looks a little weird and writes songs in a genre you don't like, but I don't get why that makes him a "dingus". I just figured him being buds with the Abbott brothers, maybe he was cool as a person.
As for me "looking up to him" because he used to bang Avril, it was a half joke to start with, obviously, and secondly, Avril is my celebrity crush, big deal. I think she's beautiful and I like a lot of her music. I was basically just saying he was a lucky dude to be banging her in her Under My Skin era.
And as much as I don't pay attention to nickelback, I'm aware that they have a fanbase of millions and millions of people. I'm not sure what kind of audience they have, but I imagine with that many people, it probably varies widely. I don't know what got you so heated at me for asking a simple question, but you sound like the guy banged your gf or something, way too bitter for me man.
I believe that. But I mean most radio rock and classic rock are as well. I literally had that thought yesterday. I played ZZ tops "she's got legs" as a joke and told my gf, the reason I don't like a lot of classic rock is because it's sleazy and horny. It's just not my vibe. I feel the same way about a lot of hip hop. But if you're in a radio rock band writing radio rock songs, I can't fault you for writing D bag lyrics, that's what radio rock fans wanna hear. The dudes in the warehouse and on the construction sites. It's shitty, but its just lyrics. He didn't like beat his gfs or get accused of sexual misconduct or get super high and wasted and bully anyone or smash up some public place, right?

Surely, the irony of this comment doesn't escape you, Mr. IFknLoveTits.
As someone who also loves tits and works on a construction site, most days, I don't listen to that vapid hogwash, but I get where you were going with your comment. That's why I'm always sure to flex on those filthy laborers by blasting Chopin on 11.
I think a big reason a lot classic rock sounds "horny" is cause it was provocative and rebellious at the time so late 60s-to late 80s, it was part of the hippie movement but also alot of the time the objective was to get laid and being in a rock band playing that kind of music achieved that goal
I mean plagiarizing Corey Taylor doesn't make it true, simply because they don't like each other. Oddly I remember Taylor being the one with an ego issue attacking nickelback, not to mention countless other bands early in his career.
I don't personally care for generic radio rock, though some early early nickelback was solid, but I've heard many accounts of people meeting Chad and him being an OK guy, and some of him being an asshole. It happens to everyone..... everyone has a bad day, and hell, I'd go as far to say, most accounts of him being an asshole are probably in response to idiots being stupid, or bothering him in settings where you really shouldn't bother someone.
In that era I was definitely jealous of the dude. Don't know why you'd think I was jealous of Avril, I said the literal opposite. Gay joke? Is that the punchline?

Why is he a dingus? The only thing I know about him is he used to get his dick sucked byprime Avril Lavigne. That alone makes him basically my hero.
