NICKELBACK AND Mutt Lange..NOOOOOOOOOO!

[chrisolson]

Who knows if it's true, but the rumor was that Shania has some weird phobia about being touched. Can you imagine what that could do to a guy?

Probably just being touched by...Mutt! :ROTF:

That would scare me too.

Nickleback is solid. Not my favorite, but not horrible. You always know when its them - they have a definitive sound. Chad writes a lot of stuff for a lot of people, and it usually sounds like Nickleback done by someone else.

one band I cant stand for some reason is brokeback nickleback....

Mutt Lang on the other hand has to be the biggest idiot in the world tapping into Shania's assistant...take a look at pictures of the two and tell me otherwise Shania Twain was a nice sugga mamma for him too

[Robert Hendrix]

I didn't know Mutt was still doing Rock. Thought Shania had already ruined him.

I don't understand what the big deal is with Nickleback. Personally, I like them. If you don't, that's your thing, but as far as mainstream hard rock, they are much better than 90% of what's out there. If you hate mainsteam hard rock (3 doors down, Creed/Alterbridge ect) then you arent qualified to criticize them. And no, Def leppard no longer fits into and Hard Rock category as they lost their balls years ago.

If you're judging Nickleback by what you hear on the radio, you, as a musician should know better than that. Radio/popular singles are NEVER a good barometer for what a band in that genre really sounds like

[rjohnstone]

+1 on that! Nickleback is a solid band, with high quality songwriting..
IMO they are better than anything Def has done in 22 years!

You just lost all music credibility with that statement.

That "Rock Star" song was god awful...I don't know who can justify that totally piece of crap song..NO matter how well it was produced....am I the only one who thinks that guys voice is unbelievably annoying...

and I dont even want to start with that Santana duet...ugh

[Foulacy]

And oddly Metallica do the exact opposite yet suck because of it?

but I love metallica, their new cd is amazing. st. anger tho, was awful.

[sevser]

Lots of bands have good to superb production and still have crap songs...and NB is one of those bands...IMO...Time will show..."Nickel who???" they will say...

I Guarantee Bill will find they are everything he is NOT about!

Mutt Lang worked well with AC/DC because there is a rawness that can not be polished...and somehow the attempt (Namely on Back in Black) proved to be a cool final product...

Nickelback and Mutt Lang will probably be perfect for each other...

I'll take your word John. Sure, they're doing something right. But I honestly don't have an opinion because I couldn't name any of their music. I may recognize a song if I heard it..but I never listened to mainstean music.

I guess I am like the Nickelback creature tho..I guess I'll never change my ways.

Guitar player uses a Triple Rectifier, a Triple X and Line 6 Amp Farm.

Bill, you may not like them but you can't deny that they have GREAT guitar and drum sound on the latest CD.

You owe me $1.95. Give me $2.00 and I'll give you a nickel back.

[Cleveland Metal]

Well, they're considerably richer than I am. I have to hand it to them, they're definitely doing "something" right...

[Robert Burns]

Say what you will.. but... Nickelback has fantastic sound and production value on their latest CD.
