This dip shit band doesn't have the talent to carry Metallica's instruments much less be able to sing one of their songs. It shows how untalented they are becasue they can't even play the full song, they have to stop before the solo because neither chad nor the other douche have the talent to play what Kirk can crank out. They need to stick to writing songs about sending a photograph to their ex boyfriend.
what i dont understand about nickelback is that they have a song about how badass they are and how they drink, beat the shit out of people as the first track of there album, then on the second track a song about how there is too much killing in the world?WTFF
@RapIsForMorons lol thats because This Means War and Bottoms Up are like havin fun and gettin into this personal fight i guess...but When We Stand Together is basically a song trying to bring attention to war.....i dont if i made sense but i tried :)
@asdi40011 well they're better than new metallica for sure but millions of people would definitely disagree with you.. Kirk and James are, in my opinion, more talented guitar players than Chad and Ryan... but I love both bands.
@aaawhan I can see why you'd say that because you might like his voice but I personally have to disagree with you...in my opinion James' voice is kinda soft (don't know exactly how to explain it) Chad's voice is a lil scratchy which is a very common form of singing...but I prefer the original (Not to go against you because everyone loves their own types of music).
i dont know what you people are talking about, nickelback is really good thay may be softer but its not bad by any means, plus they have songs like burn it to the ground that are hard rock
why nickleback? why did you go from being a awesome band like this era and older into being the band that made the way over played song "rockstar" stop straighening your fucking hair and go back to old shit allready
the only reason why Nickelback played this was because it's one of the easiest songs from metallica. Imagine them play master of puppets or something. Impossible
@guld4fck omg, are you even playing an instrument? its true that sad but true is an easy song to play. but if u are skilled in playing guitar you have no problems with playing master of puppets either. also sad but true is as cool as master of puppets so think about what you post.
@Fulforceknights look at the upload date.. its from 08! they have more balls than you and nickelback will rock forever..... but you are just a dick and a troll who hates nickelback, why even watch if you dont like it
Huh! Way to grow some long yearned for chest hair. Nice one, Kroeger. I'll "see" on on the car stereo (which is where he actually belongs. He and this one song of his, I mean). But yeah, good voice, he just shouldn't waste it.
haha, a pop band trying to be relevant by being a non pop bad, which in reality is a pop band.... leave metallica to metallica, and nickel back can save their trash to themselves. don't try to find relevance in other successful bands music. just a cesspool of creative abyss.
@INTOtheVOID11 How many bands did Metallica show up with their own stuff on Garage Inc? Just saying. And this is hardly showing up Metallica, it wasn't bad, but all-in-all it was just a cover.
@jcarpenter7787 How about none? My head still hurts from some of the songs on that album. The misfits and sabbath covers were especially horrible. Metallica has been garbage since Cliff died. The only person I have respect for in that band is James. Kirk only knows how to use Wah, anyone who isnt retarded knows Lars is a sad excuse for a drummer, and their bassists have been meh since Cliff(Jason was a cool ass dude, but he wasn't that good)
Wait a minute, so they can actually sound THIS GOOD, and they still sing their stupid little pointless songs? Because this is a pretty awesome performance, man!
And if anyone's wondering "then why'd you even click on a Nickelback vid", the answer is because I figured they'd be singing Sad But True. And they played it really, really well. Kudos for that. For a moment there his voice almost sounded like Nick Holmes of Paradise Lost, which is a separate string of awesomeness in its own right :)
You can tell all the people who just follow whatever music is "cool" and use it to define their style rather than actually listening to it. The people on this video posting "FAIL. NICKELBACK SUCKS THEY RUINED METALLICA" are idiots... sure Nickelback sucks, but I can at least admit this is a damn good cover and its a crying shame their music isn't this good.
Ya know, Im not a huge Nickelback fan. Theyre alright. But, I think they did pretty damn good with this. I would have liked to see them do the whole thing
Sure Metallica arent what they used to be lol but NICKELBACK...........cmon. Santa Clause hands out Nickelback Cd's to the bad kids nowaday instead of coal. THEY SUCK MOVE ON! Chad Kroger is a pompous asshole lmao
