Lions Fans Protest "Nickelback" as Thanksgiving Halftime Act

[skhasin]

I like how he's listing bands from Detroit, the first pic is of KISS, but the guy doesn't mention them. KISS was formed in NY though, were the members from Detroit or something?

[skaterunknown4ever]

Metal & Rock = Epic. Nickelback = Wtf?

[WarPigsLukesWall]

Go Detroit.

[L10nelTHELEGEND]

FUCK DETROIT!!!

[Sanmoon146]

What does everyone have against Nickelback huh? I love Nickelback so all of ya go kiss my ass!

[ChaoticRupture]

If you are forced to listen to nickelback or justin beiber who will you choose?

[LpJunior537]

@ChaoticRupture death

[BradenR3]

Nickelback is far better than alot of bands, no they don't all have songs about partying, there is Far Away, Never gonna be alone, I'd come for you, Someday etc

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@BradenR3 So instead of party songs they have whiney pussies songs that usually a middle age woman would write. Enough with the love songs we have heard to many of them from EVERY band, think of something new like making a concept album about the fictional collapse of the economy and the aftershock of that. See thats an original idea but nickelback wouldnt dare do anything outside of lets drink more beer, and i miss you baby. Thats why people hate them, they are unoriginal and ripoffs.

[BradenR3]

@ThatRandomGuy7787 who are they ripping off? that is the question

are they ripping off shit artists like Jason Derulo?

They've made a song dedicated to your "collaspe of the eco" and the song also talks about the other things that spell catastrophe, plus they have more songs that are more than "i miss you baby" and partying, take a look at Photograph, thats a song about memories, none of what you're saying.

Please don't say what a middle aged women can write, and what those shitty 18 year old

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@BradenR3 They are not original because they do the same thing as every other band, they whine about love lost or sing about partying. Their music is not in anyway intellectual it doesnt make you think. They use the same song structure for every song and every album. They have not done anything outside the box there is no difference between them and puddle of mudd, breaking benjamin, shinedown, three days grace and many more. Why not try to be different from all the radio rock?

[BradenR3]

@ThatRandomGuy7787 too bad all of the pop shit you listen to sounds all the same too, partying. ^^

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@BradenR3 Listen to the bands i listed doesnt sound like much partying.

[BradenR3]

@ThatRandomGuy7787 (sorry character limit) thing is, mid aged women writing is just like the shitty new 18 year old hip hop artist are writing, kind of sucks that Nickelback is all in their Late 30's, not mid 40's or 50's, which is what I find the "middle age" of a human.

Please tell me, why they are not original and who the fuck they're ripping off, and put more mind into what you post, you try writing a song better than nickelback, using the same genre/instruments nothing but that, your call

[3000partyboy]

Nickelback is better than the other well know a hole justin beiber

[ACompetitiveHalo]

The only reason nickelback is hated is because they are a soft band trying to be a hard band. All their songs have the same theme: Sex, Drugs, Drinking, and More Sex. . .I like Nickelback, but I get why people don't like them. They're repetitive with their 'thinking they're metal when they're not, and their songs are structured the same, and have the same theme." But, I don't think it's deserving of global hatred. . . :/

[BubbaBodecker]

Having Rabies would be better than listening to Nickelback!

Licking a toilet seat would be better than listening to Nickelback!

They suck!

[KnucklesTheEchidna37]

These guys are half a crap stain on Canadian band RUSH's ass.

[brad55mac]

@ Ishudbestudying

Really? 99.9% of canadians agree with u about nickelback? So your saying they have just over 3000 fans in the entire country? Based on the amount of records they sell as well as their sold out shows, I somehow have a hard time believing that...

[ITSAFUCKINGCROCODILE]

Don't see why they hate them so bad,Nicklebacks alright,not great,but not terrible,but they aren't that popular. I didn't even know they were Canadian!1lol

[Raychill2015]

i love nickelback!

[MrDraftpunk16]

I LOVE NICKELBACK!!!!!!!!!!!! and im american Great show guys!!!

[aprilshowerssummer]

I feel bad for them

[aprilshowerssummer]

People should not be hating on anything, if you want to comment leave something nice or dont come on here at all. Why is it ev eryone agreed with MJ to change the world, now he is gone and its like everyone goes back to hatred.

The only reason they are booed, because they are from Canada. Americans are disliked in almost every country and seems to me that they are jealous for Canadians being a peacekeeping country. Get over detroit. What goes around comes around.

[Animelovers2020]

WTF?! I love Nickelback!

[Islamwtf]

Anyone who watches the NFL will watch anything. No issue....

[XLightingStormX]

nickelback is one of the best ok i feel like rap is taking over and justin beiber -__-

more rock less rap and whatever justin sings

[beatnikbandit13]

In this report when he says "Detroit has legendary musicians" up pops a picture of Kiss. A band from New York City who only had a song called "Detroit Rock City".

[metal4ever1965]

I LOVE RUN-OF-THE-MILL ROCK!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

[Rachet7]

I dot understand y ppl don't like nickelback? Is it because there not from the USA?

[IShudBeStudying]

@Rachet7 I don't think that's the case. 99.9% of my fellow Canadians don't think they deserve the popularity they have especially due to the fact that they are a mediocre band at best that have been re-releasing the same late-90s bro rock over and over and OVER again for the last decade. There are some genuinely brilliant Canadian who really deserve the spotlight instead, you know? Love them (perfectly acceptable) or dislike them (perfectly acceptable as well), they have too much coverage.

[IShudBeStudying]

@IShudBeStudying *Canadian bands

[JustSomeGuyOk]

i hate them!!

[NewKidOnTheWii]

The women who wrote that comment can go drink a glass of bleach then come back and let's see what she has to say

[nicsword1]

yeah no one likes them, just 50 million albums sold dufus!

[TheCTh19]

i dont hate em...i dont like em but i dont hate em. i watch hockey so it probably wont bother me lol

[baltofanforever]

Nickelback is an amazing band and Chad is pretty handsome lol. But seriously to get down to the matter detriot sucks and they must not have very good taste in music to not like nickelback !

[burnschoolful]

fuck you

nickelback rocks



[Arsen1c42]

lol, nobody likes nickelback, it's a well known fact.

[areuter727]

@Arsen1c42 Sold out arenas where tickets go for $90/pop say otherwise. Nickelback has TONS of fans. Would someone buy a $90 ticket and buy your $30 t-shirt to see you perform? Didn't think so...there's just a lot of jealous haters out there!

[Arsen1c42]

@areuter727 lol, obvious troll is obvious

[areuter727]

@Arsen1c42 :-)

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@areuter727 Fans of this music are just plain stupid. Listening to this type of dumbed down music is for idiots. Dont you see as the years go by music becomes more increasingly simplistic and pointless because of the idiots with an IQ level of 70. People need to listen to more complex music with multiple meanings and epic instrumentation not cheap easy to play riffs.

[areuter727]

@ThatRandomGuy7787 Music, like any form of art, is in the eye of the beholder. Taste in art is subjective. IQ has little to do with the music you choose to appreciate.

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@areuter727 Ok so on the right you have a picture of a bland house (nickelback). On the left you have a picture of an entire forest filled with life(dream theater). Which one is more creative and complex? The forest. See what im saying people are dumb because they want simple they want it to be easy listening they dont want anything to challenge their ears and minds, thats why i say there stupid.

[tvanluyk]

hahaha nickelback is a fuckin disgrace

[trishvarrin]

totally agree with derlands 1 but too late they are the laughing stock now!

[hank1972]

Nickelback sucks ass sooo bad

[derlands1]

Typical Detroit fans. The city is going down the tubes and they bitch about Nickelback. Yes, the whole world likes Nickelback. They choose this to complain about. How about tossing the jerks out that drove the city into the tubes and getting real about your situation.  Suck it up and man up Detroit before your city becomes a total laughing stock.

[VonaxoAshxo]

FUCKA DA HATAASSSSS BITCHEESSSS

[brad55mac]

Ya nickelback is no good, its not like they were just voted band of the decade or anything....idiots from detroit. They are a great band, oh no there from canada fucking deal with it that doesn't make them a bad band you retards. And they actually sang a song about standing together getting along to make the world better...oh wait thats probably why it wouldn't catch on in a place like detroit, can't have them thinking things like that can we.. Fucking ignorant

[keggym]

This Packers fan agrees. They should have used local talent. Wasn't Bob Seeger from Detroit? 

[VonaxoAshxo]

@keggym yeshh :)

[90aab]

Nickelback are awesome.

[EraTwistyHD]

i like nickelback so smd

[shovakre]

Oh yeah... lets use those examples of amazing musicians that could have played instead of nickelback...

Tbh I'd rather see Nickelback than anyone else mentioned in this video,

Y'know what, maybe I just don't get it cause i'm not american and have a strong disliking of anything thats not rock,

as for that example of why the woman signed the petition... all i can say is, go for it :/

[mollyzdad]

I am a proud Canadian, and am embarassed that Nickelback is from Canada. They are embarassing.

[zeena3963]

Nickelback is Awesome. Would you rather have a half naked Lady performing at halftime? Probably being football players. This groups has wored hard as a team to be where they are now... perhaps the Lions should let go of their Egos and learn from Nickelback wwhat teamwrok is about. How do you think they got their name 'NICKELBACK"?

[Foxrocs]

Don't you think there are MORE important things with today being THANKSgiving then bitching about Nickelback playing at the half time?! If they weren't a famous band and liked by a lot of people they wouldn't have a huge fan base around the world. I think being thankful for your health, roof over your head, a job, family, friends and the fact that you're alive is definitely more important.

[DetourBoyz]

Lol fuck you guys and nickelback too...

[Cooleeo1]

Fuck Detriot and fuck their damn haters. Nickelback is a damn good band and Detriot is just a bunch of idiots who don't know their music. No offense to the people there who actually like them or don't like them, Just saying.

[Momonkey54]

And by the way, I'm from Detroit, and I still said 'fuck Detroit'. The people here need to get over themselves. Nickelback got me through a rough time and I'm going to.support them and take up for them.

[Texas666Tea]

Nickelback is a good band

[AvrilFan44182rocks]

Oh my god. I love Nickelback, what's wrong with you people? That's so rude and mean.

[Momonkey54]

Fuck Detroit. Nickelback has good music. I don't see why people think they are so bad. They are Canadian. So what? Sounds to me like the people from Detroit have gotten a 'little too big for their britches' if you ask me. I agree, I'd like to see the other great performers, but that is no reason to bash a great band. We all have to make a living some way... Just saying.

[ponyshowdown]

They just played...his mic cut out for a lot of the song...and they got booed at the end...poor guys...

[xxxtoke]

stop saying its because they're from fucking canada. its because they suck

god damnit

[nemokay]

I would love to see Nickelback perform at halftime, they are excellent !!!

[mothersdenmckush]

NICKELBACK SUCKS

[metathus]

Nickelfag is going to get booed right off the stage if they play. Trust me, its going to be really bad and there is going to need to be hieghtened security. I can easily see the fans throwinf shit onto the field. This is a mistake for nickelback. If they were smart, (which they clearly are not since they cant come up with a original song) they would not show up. Oh man, if they show up its going to be a bad bad sight at ford field.

[clairLJDM68]

@metathus i think ur probably right, which i dont like saying cuz honestly i love them but ur still right and i cant help but feel bad for getting so much haters

[metathus]

@clairLJDM68 Its going to get ugly. I mean, they are going to put a band in the middle of the field that everybody there is going to hate. Add on top of that alcohol and drunk people. Then add their emotions already being at a high level because the lions are player the packers. This is just a recipe for something bad to happen to the fans or maybe even the band. I can see people sneaking in shit to throw at them.

[clairLJDM68]

@metathus i know i really hate to admite it cuz i like them and thx btw for not saying cap like really??! u like them??! eww.. and ya ur so right (no sarcasm)

[metathus]

@clairLJDM68 I dont really like to insult people over music taste because I am sure there are people who think the music I listen to sucks. I used to like nickelback but then I just became I guess bored of them. But yeah, they are going to probably get booed pretty badly.

[clairLJDM68]

@metathus thank you.

[WhoIsPine]

just found out about this whole deal with nickelback and i think it's great, just great. made my day

[sportstimeout]

@WhoIsPine Let us guess, you're not a Nickelback fan?

[WhoIsPine]

@sportstimeout you guessed right buddy :) i do not condone their use of the same formula on all their songs. those kinds of people are just trying to profit from turning art into even more of a business. many men and women i greatly respect gave their lives for music (hendrix, bonham, morrison, joplin, elliott smith, etc) because they thought we deseserved better, and i agree with them.

[fireghost32]

U Americans are jelious that us Canadians have all the good singers

[sportstimeout]

@fireghost32 Who would you like to see perform at halftime?

[nicktaylor773]

@sportstimeout nickelback

[pablohoneybadger]

@fireghost32 Detroit has given us Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, KISS, The White Stripes, and Eminem. Nickelback doesn't measure up to any of them. The halftime show should at least be by an artist from Detroit, not some Canadian band.

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@fireghost32 You have a kurt cobain wannabe rip off who can not write a complex song to save his life. His lyrics are whiney and always about love lost or partying. Its really sad and pathetic to have such a bad song writer like chad kroeger.

[BradenR3]

@ThatRandomGuy7787 Chad Kroeger looks nothing like kurt kobain, how dare you make fun of kurt kobain even. Bitch, stop trying to make good points, you are the whiney pussy here you keep talking about. Who writes better lyrics? Justin bieber or Chad kroeger? considering you'd say Justin Bieber because you'd say "herp derp he's better than nickelback everyone says hes better than the worst people ever." etc etc, my three posts to you are pretty much proving that you suck, imma post another one aft

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@BradenR3 The old In Flames wrote a shit ton deeper songs than nickelback, ther lyrics use to focus on astrology and many global and mankind related problems like getting wiped out by disease or nuclear war. See thats creative (Not to mention the fact they pretty much created a genre). Nickelback has followed a trend they do nothing inventive or creative, they copied early 90's acts and made it more whiney.

[BradenR3]

@ThatRandomGuy7787 imma post this last one, my 4th post, what fucking songs aren't about "love lost" or "partying" huh boy? which ones aren't, ofc you wouldn't bother to look into it.

-Rant ended til you're next whiney reply.

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@BradenR3 Songs that arent about love lost: In Flames - Colony

Tool - Lateralus

Iron Maiden - The Trooper

Dream Theater - The Count of Tuscany

Periphery - Frak the Gods

Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone

A Perfect Circle - The Package

System of a Down - Attack

THeres definitely plenty more.

[BradenR3]

@ThatRandomGuy7787 talking about nickelback :)

[ThatRandomGuy7787]

@BradenR3 I cant name any songs by them that arent about those topics because they all are

[Seanorman88]

Yep. They are that bad.
