Rockstar by Nickleback

[MK Shrimper]

After spending a delightful evening in a Lloyds Bar in Central MK on Friday, this track must have been played about 5 times in the space of three hours or so... Now I can't get the sodding thing out of my head.

I can't decide whether this is a terrible bit of American Rawk or one of the greatest songs ever....

Thoughts....

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

Its annoyingly catchy me thinks.....even I like it.....haha

Quality song

 

[EastStandBlue]

Was half decent and original when it first came out, Now i've had enough of it and it's increasingly irritating.

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

Well as it is a quite a tongue in cheek song, I think they have managed to a get a tune that will get people humming/singing it. Like any song the more it is played the more it will become an object of hate.

 

[Pubey]

annoyingly catchy... it's not the worst song in the world and the lyrics are quite witty. Anyone who goes to Lloyds in MK deserves that song on repeat as their punishment!

This is such a funny paradoy type thing.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Usual Yank-rock rubbish.

Nickleback should be shot at dawn for inflicting the risible "How You Remind Me" upon us :madman:

Completely agree.

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

Usual Yank-rock rubbish.

Shame they are Canadian ;)

 

[Vange Shrimper]

I do actually like this song! Wasnt too sure at first, but it's definitely a grower.

 

[OldBlueLady]

I like it, but I wouldn't say it's a work of genius, however, not much option in the poll so I've had to go with that - it's certainly not a load of rubbish.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Its crap. :thumbdown:

 

[MK Shrimper]

Its crap. :thumbdown:

Thus speaks the voice of rock.

 

[Cricko]

Its crap. :thumbdown:

I agree Rich, in fact I find it quite Gay ..;)

 

[WestRoadShrimper]

From the poll, it appears to be a Marmite song.....

 

[Bentley's Absurd Gait]

Good track, not one of their best, but as a big Nickelback fan, very pleased to see them in the top three, usually the exclusive domain of X-Factor winners and tick all the boxes commercial dance music. I maintain that 'How You Remind Me' is as close to pop/rock perfection as it's possible to be.

 

[MrB]

Tune :cool:

 

[Slipperduke]

Oh Christ, I'm so disappointed in some of you. It's absolutely ****ing rubbish and all those responsible for it should be lined up against a wall at dawn and shot. And no last cigarette either, they don't deserve it.

What is it? Is it ironic? Is it a genuine wish for banality? I don't get it. I don't understand what he's getting at. Is he attacking rock star cliches? I've heard some of their other stuff and people who live in glasses houses shouldn't play powerchords, if you know what I mean.

It's a creative barren patch, it's a nihilistic smear, it's repetitive nonsense, it's actually quite offensive. I really, really don't like it.
