MODERATORS
Asking (paraphrasing) "hey what are you wrong about but unwilling to admit?" and then sticking a (metaphorical) "I think Nickleback is a pretty good band" opinion in the middle of it feels like a harder challenge than the designers of AskLemmy were intending
I thought about it a bit when making this post and I felt like not giving an example would make people come with crazy political opinions which would probably be a bad time. Maybe it still wasn't the best approach, admittedly.
Maybe giving the example in a separate top-level comment would have worked better. Interesting discussion either way, though.
That is why askreddit banned "I'll start", half the comments were replies to the OP instead of sharing their own experiences.
Said like someone who never wanted to be a rock star
I mean, nickelback is a pretty good band.
Maybe even the best metal band ever
Iron Maiden? Goldfinger? Led Zeppelin? So many better metal bands, come on!!
Definitely. Hate on me if you want but I'm about to drop some truth about why Nickelback is literally the most metal band to ever shred this mortal plane.
First off Chad Kroeger's voice is basically what would happen if you took Bruce Dickinson's pipes and injected them with pure Canadian maple syrup and gravel. Have you even heard "How You Remind Me"? That's basically "Number of the Beast" but with better hair.
And how about their crushing riffs? Led Zeppelin? Really? While Robert Plant was singing about hobbits or whatever, Chad and the boys were out there crafting absolute face melters like "Photograph", which is basically "Stairway to Heaven" if it was actually good.
More evidence that proves Nickelback is the GOAT:
I know this is controversial, but someone had to say it. The fact is this is what peak metal performance looks like, deal with it.
Lead has a higher atomic number than nickel, making it more metal.
Ah, so you admit they're above Iron Maiden at least.
You got me there. Nickelback is more metal than Iron Maiden.
