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

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.

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.

No.
So shut your pie hole and get a sense of humor before YOU say something stupid.
Oops, you already did.

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 '
God I hate this crap!

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.

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.

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.
