A special mid-week Open Letter from DTSC
 

Dear Nickelback,

You guys totally wail. I love that "Hanging by a Moment" song. Truly great. That "I love the way you smack my ass" lyric in that song totally cracks me up. I mean, I can't imagine ever singing that to a chick! I'm just really glad you guys got My Sacrifice on the radio. I bought your CD, "Break the Cycle", after Hanging by a Moment first came out and I listened to My Sacrifice (I think it's track #8 on that CD) and knew you guys would eventually get it to the radio since it was a totally catchy song, just like the first song you guys put out, "Kryptonite". Speaking of which, I love the album that song was on too. But one question, why was it called "Infest"??

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Regards,

DTSC

Funny guy, funny!

dude! Nickelback is awesome! I crank it in my 73 camaro and the girls come flocking my way. Canada Rocks!!!

:lol: Nice, though I'm one of the brave Creed fans, so boo to that. :ducking for cover:

HAAHAHAAAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Fooking excellent!!!!

THat was very clever. Nickelback really does suck the worst out of all those bands that you referenced.

I DL'd the album and could barely get through it.

Then again, 3 Doors Down is awful......just plain sucks.

Wow, Nickelback gets around.

See.. I don't like Creed or Nickleback.. But I like Lifehouse.

The singer from Nickelback looks like Tom Green with long hair.

These guys do blow by the way

They all suck, except Puddle Of Mudd :thumbsup::thumbsup:

It's funny how the guy who listens to crappy pop-punk bands like the Ataris and many others that all sound exactly the same feels the need to attack mainstream bands who may have a similar sound (not similar to The Ataris, but similar to one another). I hate the bands you (indirectly) mentioned too, but I would take a look at my own CD collection before saying something stupid like you did.

Re: Re: A special mid-week Open Letter from DTSC
 

I couldnt have said it better myself. Ataris and the similar pop-punk bands sound the same as well as some of the mainstream bands.

Re: Re: A special mid-week Open Letter from DTSC
 

see.. I kinda like the Ataris too.

:)

Did I ever say that my bland pop-punk that I listen to didn't all sound the same and is creative and imaginative?

No.

So shut your pie hole and get a sense of humor before YOU say something stupid.

Oops, you already did.

wow, that's funny, I'm pretty sure we were discussing the merits of Nickelback and not the Ataris. Mods, can we get an IP check here? :lol:

Re: Re: Re: A special mid-week Open Letter from DTSC
 

Funny how he's a newbie yet he knows that the Ataris are my favorite band.

exactamundo! :up:

It's funny. Rolling Stone has a mini-article on the sad state of finances in the music industry this week. It seems the big music companies didn't make so much money this year. Their profit margins didn't expand comfortably enough as they had in the past.

DTSC: Perhaps you should send your open letter to Rolling Stone (or these corporate stooges that foist this cookie-cutter crap on the mainstream).

How do they expect to make the big $$$ if the consumer can't tell the groups apart?

And why should anyone buy these albums when the hit singles are played incessantly round the clock on every single radio station on the dial?

Variety is the spice of life. I would hope. Except to a music industry suit.

DTSC, you had me rollin'. Great "open letter" to all those shite bands who think they are rockers of intelligence. They are the reasons as to why I don't listen to the radio very much.

'Never made it as a rich man, never made it as poor man stealing and this is how you :yack:'

God I hate this crap!:mad:

Absolutely hilarious! My feelings exactly. I was waiting for your next Open Letter and I really don't think you could have scraped the bottom of the barrel any lower. Honestly, this Nickelback band is no better than the rash of wanna-be Britney Spears girls.
It's just connect-the-dots rock music. I honestly believe that rock music on the radio is at an all time low since I started listening 25 years ago.

I'm sure DTSC would also not be crazy about the rash of little punk bands that all sound the same either. BUT, given the choice, I know that I would choose a sound that is fun and silly over these bands who take themselves so seriously. Jeez.


I'm going to stop now. I'm feeling a HEAVY dose of nasty words about to be typed and I wanna....have....more....control.

Hmm...maybe I've been lurking for a while?

Anyway, I didn't mean for my previous comments to sound like a personal attack, but what you are doing is similar to eating at Burger King while mocking McDonald's. Crap is crap, no matter how popular it is or what genre it comes from. I realize that you weren't talking about the Ataris in your open letter, but they're just as crappy as Nickelback, Papa Roach, and all those other bands.

I'm sure you listen to *wonderful* music, but I'd crap on it regardless. I think it's funny to crap on any music. Who cares what he listens to he can still pick out the sucky bands like the best of them.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: A special mid-week Open Letter from DTSC
 

I typically don't listen to any music. Admiring my physical perfection in the mirror is entertainment enough.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: A special mid-week Open Letter from DTSC
 

about the only post you've made that I think makes any sense.

:)

agreed!

rotfl rotfl

Just a reminder since DanteLC is having a difficult time understanding a simple concept -- this thread is a joke.

I'm in no place to criticize a band until I learn to write my own 4-chord wonders myself. :)

Yes, the music all sounds the same, but as Pikul has said many times over in this forum -- there's plenty of great music out there, you just have to go looking for it. You're not gonna find it on MTV or the radio.
