  • Not a hardcore fan of them, but I do listen to some of their songs.

    Haters gonna hate, anyway.

    I don't complain to any bands who change their sounds a lot, or the ones that remain the same until now. As long as their musics are nice to listen to.

  • I can listen to Nickelback, enjoy the music, sing along, and have a good time. The lyrics have meaning, the songs are catchy, and it isn't complete crap. Sure, they sound similar, but you try and write four albums with 10+ songs and not have 5 or more with similar chord progressions. Plus, I'm sure we all agree Nickelback is much better than Bieber, Gaga and all that other non-talented pop crap rising to stardom these days.

  • 173 people are hurt fans.

  • Am I the only one whose speakers started spewing blood and feces when I tried to listen to this?

  • Ear rape 9000.

  • They sound good, they are just IDENTICAL... but still sound good

  • @myheadissquare No, they don't.

  • Welcome to the commercial world of music...

  • Interesting. Same idea with "It's My Life" and "Living on a Prayer" from Bon Jovi. Almost identical

  • @systemcrash1969 But Bon Jovi is talented :(

  • Surprisingly similar, nearly identical.

  • I don't know about you, but this sounds cool.

  • halfway through this, i forgot which song was playing from which side...

  • This actually sounds awesome.

  • -_- these dont sound anyhting alike -_- And either way this is only two songs out of like 70 or 80 some songs.

  • @MustLovePrankCallzV2 You're kidding right? The only thing that is any different between the two is the vocals which is not what this video is about. Listen to the instruments! They are identical! As for your comment about the number of songs, that's irrelevant. Writing a song is easy so you have to suck pretty bad to recycle one song even once.

  • @MustLovePrankCallzV2 that is one of the most stupidest comments i've seen on youtube

  • Guys... just because we're hating on Nickelback doesn't mean we don't hate even worse artists such as Justin Bieber. Quit gettin yo tits in a knot...

  • Nickleback... Nickleback never changes.

  • wow that explains why these are the only two...or should i say THE only song i like from them!

  • Haha, my headphones only work on one side...

    THEY SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME! :P

  • i love this both songs

  • I've always felt that Nickelback was an okay band. There are PLENTY worse acts out there.

  • Meeeh. I guess I see what you're saying, but I still like them both anyway.

  • i came to see what all the fuss about nickelback was about. Seriously? you complaining about nickelback with justin bieber out there? plus great bands like ACDC, guns or the epic pink floyd have some musics that sound similar. However each and everyone has its own opinion, you don't like nickelback, i respect your opinion, Now don't come shoving down my throat your musical tastes and your pseudo hipster criticism. Make respectful critics, respect other peoples' opinions or GTFO.

  • @McZidanne The thing that makes everyone so angry about Nickelback is that there are groups out there who make innovative, GOOD music but struggle to get their work into the mainstream. Meanwhile, bands like Nickelback get tons of radio play and sell out stadiums with mediocrity. And the difference between these guys and Pink Floyd (not gonna comment on Guns or ACDC, I don't care for them) is that Pink Floyd has talent, they're influential and phenomenal. You can't say that for Nickelhack.

  • Well... I would believe this if u haters would do two songs that are not these but hey! Hatin makes them pop

  • @Nyomi0910 Buddy, they are a laughing stock of the industry. If you play guitar or know anyone that does have a look at the tablature and then try and run your mouth. They actually go as far a recycling guitar riffs from old songs into "new" songs in hopes that nobody notices. If hating makes them "pop" then I hope they explode.

  • @TheSiftonStrangler Sorry i cut that short because i was on the ipods. POP doesn't mean make them unique. POP means POPULAR. Think: Besides you guys on youtube, who else hates them? But truthfully, I havent listened to there new songs minus bottoms up (And that wasn't recycled) So I don't know if I have a say in this.

  • @Nyomi0910 People who hate Nickelback are not exclusive to Youtube. New song, old song whats the difference. No, not every song is identical but there are enough songs to raise suspicion at the very least. Dude, if you like them good for you but this page is for HATRED. I personally know 16 year olds that can write better, play better and will never get a shot a record deal yet these greasy fucks and their 4 chord pony show land a record deal and tour the world.

  • @TheSiftonStrangler heh, true. I guess you got me there :) I think the reason their so popular is because when they DIDNT RECYCLE, they gained a bunch of fans (including me) and then they didn't notice the recycling. Still, I haven't heard two songs OTHER than these that sound the same. huh. Maybe I should listen to their new album and see if i can find any! >:3

  • Wow, just gonna say, your comparing two songs from them out of about 70 or more. How about you put a song like animals, or burn it to the ground over top of it then see if they sound the same -_-. Your just comparing two songs that are both "in the same emotion".

  • Once upon a time, there was a world without Nickelback, and it was good. They are always good for a laugh though.

  • lol, I love all the people defending Nickleback on these videos. You guys obviously know NOTHING about professional music recording and writing. The fact that two of their most popular songs can be played on top of each other and not sound totally messed up is not a coincidence. Also, it is totally impossible to record such identical drum tracks. Drum tracks are always edited anyway, so its not like it's unheard of for bands to re-use drum tracks, partially or fully.

  • Bill Anderson!

  • All songs? You display 2, two, deux, zwei, twee, dos... And even if it were true... They would perfectly fit about 95% of popular music aired today. So, I wonder; is there a point you are trying to make or are you just so keen on sounding exactly the same as more than 2 Nickelback bashers on youtube? Does it satisfy? Does it get you pussy? I'll take Nickelback any day over whatever R&B "artist" that just blabbers over a 30 year old classic song. Aha, hmm, check it out, yeah, aha, aha, hmm, yeah.

  • i personally think that nickelback is an amazing band and other bands do the exact same thing so you haters can quit hating otherwise you guys make up over 50 million records worldwide. just saying.

  • 1. This Means War

    2. Hero

    3. This Afternoon

    4. Far Away

    5. Not Leavin' Yet

    6. Rockstar

    7. Lullaby

    8. Leader Of men

    Listen To all of those songs above. Do All Of them sound the same? Not at all. Nickelback has made 7 albums. Of course at least 3 or 4 will sound the same. Look at metallica, Their songs are the same old shit over and over ( no dis respect to metallica, Theyre a great band ) But you people need to stop hating

  • @xXxFaDeZxXx Yet Another Nickelfag.

  • @MuhCigs You mad bro?

  • @xXxFaDeZxXx Nah bro, just horny and wanna fuck you.

  • @MuhCigs You're sick.

  • Picklestack.

  • 159 people got only one speaker working

  • 159 people are butthurt Nickelback fans.

  • Wow, someone has way too much time on their hands.

  • Well, they are better than anything on the top 40 right now.

  • Nickelback isn't by any means a bad band.

  • @GrimInstincts Being generic is not a good thing. And yes, they are bad.

  • @GrimInstincts

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­

  • I hate nickelback with a passion but I have noticed that every band has a distinct sound that is similar in all their songs. I have noticed once a band gets a big hit they will model a lot of their songs after that hit because hey, if that sound was a hit maybe another song kind of like it will be a hit too. Trust me, I try to write music from time to time and once you get a tune that sounds good, you tend to go back to it even without wanting to. That being said. nickelback still sucks.

  • @metathus you had me going there...and then u let me down :p

  • you could overlap a lot of chevelle's songs and they would mash like this because they almost always use drop b.

  • Nickleback is terrible and this video is awesome/hilarious... the band is just very creative - they took Nirvana's sound and popularized it and made it generic and soulless.... Just my opinion so don't get all huffy if you disagree.

  • lol u dumbasses your only comparing two songs? So ALL the songs sound the same? Yea sp these two songs sound like? animals? Side of a bullet?

    Burn it to the ground? Rockstar? This afternoon? i mean, most of you haters probily have only head these two songs because of there fame, and probily saying they sound the same because most of there opoular songs played on the radio are alternative or soft rock. Actually go listen to several of there songs, then say there songs all sound the same.

  • KYS nickleback

  • Points to the uploader for being an all around decent dude in the uploader comments section. Bravo, sir.

  • On a off note in many interviews nikelback said they take very few songs they right seriously and see it as good fun. Which is what it is, don't expect lyrical genius or depth just a modern band that uses old rock (sorta) style of music. They are okay, I am not a crazy fan, but I do think the renown hate is not deserved.

  • Love how I have been going through these videos (usually called ALL nickelback songs sound alike) yet it is just Someday and How you remind me.

  • i think it sounds great and not as it is the same! ;DD

  • Despite "How You Remind Me" (the ONLY good Nickelback song ever IMHO) being downtuned, it was done so to prove a point: Nickelback sucks and aren't the least bit original.

  • Nickelback has managed to splice their DNA, and create a clone army of shitty bands that sound exactly the same... It's impossible to tell these bands apart by their look or sound, but some of them go by the names: Theory of a deadman Default Puddle of Mudd 3 Doors Down Black Stone Cherry Crossfade Seven Dust Shinedown Fuel Chevelle Hinder Grey Daze Daughtry Axium Silver Chair Collective Soul Finger Eleven Saliva Stone Sour Seether Thornley 3 days grace AND MANY MORE!

  • @misterbarbister bullshit you did not just make fun of three days grace

  • I'm so glad someone finally did this! It is all the same song, glad to know someone else sees it too.

    That being said, I don't think the songs are particularly bad...just unoriginal.

    Lastly I think you could do this with every single Taylor Swift song, I'm still looking to see if someone has already done a video like this for her.

  • all of the songs are the same but with different text. but im a fan of nickelback (sorry for my bad english, I'm a 12 years old dutch guy)

  • @tjeuvb

    it's a good point you brought up.

    and your english is very good, keep up the practice--I'm sure you'll be fluent some day!

  • @crockettjvinson i think youtube need more guys like you

  • @tjeuvb nothing bad about your english dutchboy, cheers, at least you don't have a funny irritating indian accent

  • @tjeuvb keep it up. Your english is incredibly good for a 12 year old.

  • @tjeuvb Your english is better than some native english speakers! :)

  • LOL! I like Nickelback but this is so true. HAHA.

  • @AftComet Liking Nickelback automatically strips you of any credibility.

  • Ya ok wanker727. The song on your page that sounds like a car alarm clearly shows your taste in music steers towards random noise. Using a g or an e, wouldn't change the time signature. Try this with the California boys on a song with the same time signature. It will overlap different scales or notes or whatever. Please castrate yourself, or get a tubal ligation, whatever you need to do to insure you don't breed. Please.

  • how the hell were you able to get the speaker differentials to be done like this? i'm not talking about the songs, but there are quite i few that i would like to do this to

  • What I suspected. A computer could program their next song.

    This is the most painful music of the last decade. I can actually FEEL a gray cloud of depression cross my head when I hear it - followed by a headache from his voice.

  • Wow. Once again some moron discovered a 4/4 time signature. Put a U2 song, or a Rancid song, or any other fucking song with this tempo over another song with this tempo and guess what? They'll overlap like this. Quit listening to music if it confuses you and please don't breed. I'm not a huge fan of ANY of the music that's out right now but this is the worst reason for a backlash ever.

  • @canadablakeThe fact that a band does not know how to start branching out into new keys, and other scales than very typical progressions... your lack of musical knowledge shames us all....

  • @wonzer727 give it a rest..there are in fact many bands that have very similar rhythms and tunes in an album. Not all nickleback songs sound the same, try putting hero and how you remind me together or saving me and gotta be somebody and see if u get sense. i find it genius how uve managed to come up with two songs as a comparison to hold a grudge. Its stupid to try and knock this band when most of their songs are chart toppers...typical psychology to hate on something that isnt doing too badly.

  • @canadablake I don't know if you're kidding, but it's not just the time signature. The vocal lines, the melodies, the accents are all identical. The beat stops in the same place for dramatic effect.

  • Comment removed

  • @canadablake ummm not really, if you notice the break occurs at the same point in both songs, the vocal register is very similar, the chord and notes are very similar if not the same at certain points

  • @canadablake Yup over rated pop bands suck!

  • @canadablake

    what about the changes and when how they come in at the same time? the drums enter the same time. the electric guitars come in at the same time in the exact same way. the chords are also extremely similar.

  • Er, it's not just the tempo though. It's the chord structure, bridge, chorus, everything.

    They are virtually identical (even though one has been pitch shifted).

  • @GKFC this man speaks the truth!

  • @GKFC It's like Linkin Park with What I've Done and New Divide

  • hahaha sad vid if you ask me you can only compair 2 songs that you only know from the radio....xD you sir must be either very dumb to say that they sound the same or you perhaps dont know their other songs wich are better then the one's you know from the radio xD

  • save this song please lol.

  • If they only made 1 song and stopped, i wouldn't mind them. Might actually enjoy hearing the song every so often... but the same shit over and over again, god damn it just stop already. This just proves what everyone already knew, they suck

  • @triumph2992 ok, tell me one, just ONE other example of two similar songs

  • nickelback sucks but primus sucks

  • bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

  • is it bad that I actually like this now?

  • @Howells13 Hey, negative times a negative equals a positive.

  • I'm shocked this video hasn't been taken down. Nickelback sucks and doesn't even care that they suck.

  • Shit on the left, excrement on the right. there is a difference, but it is merely semantics. If it sounds like shit, and looks (chad kroeger''s face) like shit, then it must be shit.

  • LMAO! Kinda funny, but hey, IMHO I much prefer a band that recycles the same riffs and beat from their own songs rather than other bands with no talents that recycles songs FROM OTHER BANDS and then try to claim as their own! Not to mention this is only two songs that resemble one another! Every other Nickelback songs are different from one another!

  • @sylvur I'd much prefer a band be completely original than recycle anything. I don't like shitty music.

  • omg where does one start with nickleback.Generally across the board, the entertainment system( tv, music, movies) have been sliding downhill for years, so it's not surprising that relative dogshit like nickleback could become stars,look at some of the turds with zilcho talent that have become reality tv stars, I mean it's laughable.What's the opposite of " thinking man's music",here you have it folks.I will now run as far away as possible from trailer trash tunage.

  • MARIO WAS RIGHT!

  • sounds really good actually =P pendulum is worse though, there are at least 18 songs that fit together

  • @screaming4joy  agreed

  • anthonyfucci <-Nicely said!!! Who the hell do u think you are?! I'd love to hear the music you listen to, if u hate one of the most recognized bands in the world!

  • @CharlotteeSMudge Well, there's you know, old, non-derivative music. Listen to some Blue Oyster Cult, some Led Zeppelin, some Beatles, Kinks, Doors, The Who, Stones, and even pop artists like Paul Simon and Elton John. They all have some things in common, but those similarities are very basic and not as clearly derivative. My problem with Nickelback is that they got famous by doing one mediocre (or less) thing musically, and repeated that ad infinitum. None of the artists above did that.

  • Dont fix something if it aint broken, Nickleback Ftw

  • you changed the tempo of How You Remind me, it's that clear it's not even funny.

  • @stinkywinky93

    oh phew, didn't realise i was doubting nickelback for a second, but there different speeds therefore completely different songs.

  • Horrible choice of songs. If you want to compare Nickelback’s old school to modern, you have to take songs from at least one of their oldest albums. Ergo Hesher or Curb. Then you can choose from their newest. Preferably on the Dark Hoarse album where they DID change allot of things. Nickelback 4ever!

  • @Chadoholic101 The fact that they have two songs that are THAT similar is still mindblowingly uncreative. It's not that ALL of their music is this similar but something like this should never happen. Ever. They aren't musicans. They are salesmen.

  • @DeathToMayo

    No the point is you have chosen two of the wrong songs to compare. And another thing... ALL musicians come out with greatly similar songs that sound alike compared to their own. To some degree or another. Its just the type of music they like to write. No shame in that, especially if people listen to it. Not to mention these two are BOTH very, very popular.

    “Before I go to hate on somebody, now I ask myself... Can I do that as good as they can?” – Chad Kroeger

  • i don't care about the beat or who the hell sings it i care about the words. thats it. what the song means to me decides if I like it or not.

  • doesn't matter if they change or not! they play what they like, and i like it too, that's what matters to me ;]

  • I love all you guys who hate nickelback take your precious time to tell the world, make videos, type comments, LOL, just make a fansite, oh wait, too late, already done. LOL

  • @SpammingRogue You play WoW, you can't tell others they're wasting time.

  • @DontShakeItUp Yes I can, and I just did :).

  • chugga chugga powercords chugga chugga all i can do is powercords

  • whether nickleback is a good band can NEVER be a fact, it is strictly an opinion. But what I think qualifies as a good band is a band that puts alot of work into their music, has interesting lyircs, as well as a unique sound, and at times, a song that you can relate to.

  • Oh hey! "Someday you remind me"!!

  • HA! Fuck Nickelback

  • ฉับชอบNickelbackที่1

  • this is entirely fraudulent as the two songs have been time-stretched and pitch-corrected to match each other. I dislike nickelback btw, I just also happen to dislike bullshit.

  • how you remind me has been slowed down a bit there...

  • @GreenDayBestDay (by the way which is not true) it Nickelback and ThatsThat! :)

    So nickelback does not suck at all. Go find a band that actually does suck and diss them!

  • So what you critics and haters are saying is if I'm in a band every song has to be different? I mean creativity is one thing but what you expect them to start going techno shit on us or something?

  • @Ghostly828 no they sound like ever other radio rock band ever

  • These songs sound 100% the same Nickelshit sucks!

  • Wow, if I had 2 songs that made me millions of fans and millions of dollars like these 2 songs have for Nickelback, I wouldn't give a shit if they sounded the same or not. Point is, hundreds of millions of people enjoy these songs so.. let's see these haters do better lol

  • i love how people can only use two songs.

    I can take two disturbed songs an dmake them sound the same.

  • @MrPretzelStickz that's because disturbed is fucking terrible too

  • Well, this is no surprise. Who would expect a "band" like Nickelback to make anything original? UNlike Mr Bungle, The Melvins, and Faith No More, whose songs are vastly different. You practically have your mind blown by one song, let alone if you compared two at the same time.

  • lots of bands sound or repeat some lyrics so who cares? NICKELBACK IS AWESEOMEEEEEEEEEE

  • @lollypopcrazy10 Sure, bands repeat lyrics, but only in the same song; for my bands I listen to, every song has it's own distinct meaning, rhythm, and beat. Nickelback sucks. Big time.

  • @lollypopcrazy10 Lyrics are one thing. How about same exact music?

  • Two songs sound the same? wow... so?

  • On the other hand, this is a pretty good remix!!! :)

  • Interesting assumption... Who cares? Not NickelBack fans. :P hahahaha!!!

  • I will be impressed when you guys come up with some kind of new comparison rather than kicking the shit out of this one. and actually give us some songs that no one knows about to compare rather than picking on the songs that made them popular jesus.

  • am i the only one who thought this was a positive thing?

  • Nickelback... Nickelback never changes.

  • You can love Nickleback, you can hate Nickleback, I myself demand change in my music, I love complexity and progression and the only time I except otherwise is if it is dripping with creativity and/or is lead with outstanding lyrics that would surpass the music. I won't say anything bad about Nickleback but that is why I will not listen to them, and this video made me smile.

  • Wow. "Every song sounds the same"? Every CRITIC sounds the same...gosh, grow up and get you own @%#$ing opinions

  • This is dumb. How You Remind me on this video is lowered. Good job.

  • You just showed me how cool nicktlback sound when you mix ther songs. Thank you

  • it isnt the same. not even close

  • this is kinda retarted

    if you take any two songs from the same band in the same tempo and scale they'll also sound the same

  • Both songs are awesome Nickelback is awesome... I am learning Photograph as of yesterday

  • @jdjones1995 that's great hun, no one gives a shit. :)

  • @GrungeRockerAziz nobody was talkin to you so goodbye have a nice life and that comment was 2 weeks ago...and who says "hun" anymore

  • @jdjones1995

    Lookie here big boy.

    "I am learning Photograph as of yesterday" - jdjones1995

    You type that in a site that includes social networking, then people will have the right to respond. Unfortunately, no one gave enough of a shit to respond properly, and I'm just teaching you the basics of life.

    As far as 'hun', I have received A* marks on both of my Cambridge IGCSE English Language and Literature exams, so don't lecture me on what words to use and what not to use. Okay 'hun'?

  • if u cant agree on weather nickelback rocks or sucks can we at least agree that you r all retarded for fighting over it?

  • kinda like how these 2 songs together sound...

  • The chord progressions are the same, but the left song is pitch-lowered. As a producer you obviously knew this, and you could have and probably should have pointed that out.

  • wtaa ???

  • @pitt5truct0r I think he looks like a cocker spaniel, but I can see a little Cage in there.

  • One of life's great mysteries: Nickelback's popularity even though nobody fucking likes them.

  • poop on the right, shit on the left.

  • @Friedtoenails I fuckin' died laughing at that

  • Lol that's still joke xD

  • lol thats joke XD

  • weirdness

  • Nickelback.... Nickelback never changes...

  • @jpheitman It's kind of comforting in a way. I may fail my sociology final, but the world'll keep spinning, seasons will still change, Nickelback will always suck ass, etc.

  • @larkey99 Someone has obviously never played Fallout. XD

  • @larkey99 nothing short of the apocalypse will stop those things happening.....except 4 Nickelback sucking ass

  • thats sweet!!!!!!!!!!

  • Try listening to ACTUAL old Nickelback, like anything off of Hesher or Curb, and then try saying they don't change.
