They sold millions but I don't know anybody who admits to owing an album by them..... /jarmo It's time for me to come out of the closet. I owned the first Spice Girls album......all because of that damn "Say You'll Be There" song. Damn you, damn you all. But I'm finally free. :no: Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: fuckin crazy on October 20, 2007, 06:01:01 AM My 15 year old listens to this band. Parents need to step up and quit purchasing crap for their kids. I would probably buy this for her if she persisted, but we have an agreement- before I spend my hard earned money on music, the band has to play their own instruments and/or write their own songs.

LOL. My kid is totally out of touch with the current music scene, she thinks she is living in the 80's. ;D Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: GNRFan333 on October 20, 2007, 04:02:43 PM Who here owns this album? Reminds me of the Spice Girls. They sold millions but I don't know anybody who admits to owing an album by them..... /jarmo i can truthfully say i own every album of theirs....saw them live twice.... hey. im canadian. where i live, nickelback is quite the act. One of the few good rock bands going around to date. The Long Road was by far the greatest album they ever recorded Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: Izzy on October 20, 2007, 04:18:55 PM I own...*counts*....all their albums
the latest album has 2 good songs....and thats it. Not sure how its done so well Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on October 20, 2007, 06:00:43 PM I don't get it. ???
They are a record label's wet dream - and they suck Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: mrlee on October 20, 2007, 06:20:02 PM they started out alright, and put out one great album, the long road. after that what a load of bollocks.
Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: GNRslave on October 23, 2007, 12:27:55 PM i got this album a little over a year ago and still listen to it today. i think its a great album, it's produced one hit single after another. just because its not GNR doesnt mean it cant be good guys!!

I don't think anyone is arguing that. But Nickelback is essentially the poster-band of generic, corporate rock. 1 part catchy 1 part "gravely" male vocal ...and so forth. Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: mrlee on October 23, 2007, 07:44:37 PM ill always argue the long road is a top album.
it also features dime, doing a real solo while he was alive for them on a cover of saturday night. Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: axlrosegnr on October 23, 2007, 08:27:25 PM well I guess 6 million people can't be wrong.....I like Nickelback...not necessarily one of my favorites, but they are a good band. They also tour very sucessfully and put on a good show.
Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: GeraldFord on October 23, 2007, 09:15:44 PM I own the first two Spice Girls albums.. :o :-[
Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: Wheres Izzy on October 24, 2007, 12:05:50 AM I remember like 5 years ago I was a junior in high school when that "How you remind me" song was being played constantly on the radio stations around me. I kept thinking to myself "I can't wait for this song to die out so I will never have to hear this wussy garbage ever again". Sadly somehow they have kept themselves around. I figured they were another 7 mary 3 that would come and go.
Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: tim_m on October 24, 2007, 01:14:01 AM 7 mary 3 is way better then these guys and are still around too.

Title: Re: Nickelback's 'Reasons' joins rare 6M sales club Post by: jabba2 on October 26, 2007, 04:31:13 PM Nickelback replaced Creed as a generic rock band that for some reason millions of white people get behind. Creed somewhat replaced Pearl Jam in that they had 3 records go x6 Platinum one of them selling 11M copies.

Creed somewhat replaced Pearl Jam in that they had 3 records go x6 Platinum one of them selling 11M copies. why do you seem to feel that only white people get behind? i could say the same about all the bullshit hip-hop artists around at the moment with black people, except thats blind ignorance and retarded to claim.

One band becomes popular and them a bunch of watered down clones appear. /jarmo |
