"Nickelback" sound

[neon]

After reading this thread I got to this conclusion:
GS have the best clowns ...the ones that any circus would dream to have...and the best is that this clowns can be very cheap....

I agree that Nickelback is a standard or bad hair!!

I think NickelBack last record have a plastic drum sound.

But..I want to see if those "Music /Producer/engineers experts" can be able to mix a record as good as their mix their stupid comments!

I want to see how good they are writing/producing and mixing!!
Maybe as good as "Beavis an Butthead" ? not even...that would be a dream!!

I am so releaved that his assholitos are not the future of the music biz...things are tough and music is not at it best....but I would be so scared having assholitos like that as producers and at the labels...our ears would fall if we listen what they do!!

I am sure these assholitos are just guys that are ungry and upset because the music they like only they understand....or actually not..in this world are millions of stupids...make a record you can master that...u have the right talent!!!

Scene 12:

[Two friends sit down at a table in a local burger joint]


Jim: Man... I'm starving. I haven't eaten all day.

Bob: Me neither man.

Jim: What you got there?

Bob: It's a triple cheese burger with everything. Same thing I always get. These things are awesome!

Jim: Really? You get the same thing every time?

Bob: Yeah, dude. Best burger in town.

Jim: What the hell's wrong with you?

Bob: Huh?

Jim: I said, "What... the... hell... is... wrong... with... youuuu?" How can you always eat the same thing? Don't you like variety?

Bob: Uh... I dunno dude... I found the thing that I like the most here and I just get that.

Jim: But that's STUPID. You can't just like one kind of thing and always just eat that... you have to try DIFFERENT things. You HAVE to have variety when it comes to taste in food.

Bob: What? No I don't. I like this and so I eat it.

Jim: But that's f#@king retarded. Are you stupid?

Bob: Dude... that's not cool.

Jim: Hey, I'm just drawing the obvious conclusion, here. Unlike you, I eat a different thing off of the menu every time I come here. That's the right way to do it.

Bob: Uh... ok.

Jim: Yeah... see... even though some things I don't like as "much" as others, I mix it up, because that's what you SHOULD do.

Bob: Uh.... ok. Whatever man. To each his own.

Jim: No, no.... none of this "to each his own" bulls#@t. I'M RIGHT. There is only ONE way to express your taste in food and that is to try all kinds of different things..... unless, of course, lots of people like it.

Bob: What??

Jim: Yeah... if it's something that lots of people like, it's bad.

Bob: Says who?

Jim: Says ME, dumb@ss. If it's a popular menu item, I won't eat it, because people are stupid..... and they're sheep, too... yeah... "sheep"... I like to call them "sheeple".... get it? ...it's a play on words.... I'm pretty witty like that.

Bob: Uh...

Jim: Yeah, so anyway... if lots of "sheeple" (tee hee) like it, then you know it's bad. You can't go liking food that the majority likes.

Bob: Why not?

Jim: BECAUSE, dude.... because that's the way it is. It's a universal truth that cannot be denied. I'm right. You'll just have to get used to it.

Bob: Man, you're really creeping me out here.

Jim: Whatever man... so anyway... today I'm trying the pickled pigs feet sandwich. It smells like absolute dogsh#t, but not a single SOUL has ordered this in over a month, so that means it's the coolest thing in this joint.

Bob: That's f#@king insane, dude.

Jim: You just don't GET it, man..... but that's OK. Not everyone can be as enlightened as me. You see, most people just don't realize that food HAS to be "different" to be "good". For example... I might like that triple cheeseburger. Hell, it might be the best thing I'd ever put in my mouth... but I'd never eat it. And even if I did, I would definitely never ADMIT it. It's just too "clichéd". Too many people have already jumped on that bandwagon. So what I'd do... is I'd take one of those triple cheese burgers and change a few things about it to make it "original". Yeah... that way, it's completely derivative, just like everything else, but most people don't realize it. So... I'd remove the cheese, and replace it with some whipped cream. Then I'd cut the burger open and stuff it full of chex mix. Yeah. And, of course, the exterior has to look totally different (that's the best way to make people think it's "original"). So I'd get rid of the buns and wrap it in scones instead. I'd get bonus points, because scones are British... and anything British is cool.

Bob: Dude... that's f#@king gross.

Jim: Yeah... but it's DIFFERENT! And if you want to have good taste in food, you have to train yourself to like stuff that's different, even if it's kinda lousy.

Bob: Whatever, man... I'm going back to my "uncool" burger now.

Jim: Yeah, I figured you wouuu...what the F#@K is that???

Bob: What?!?!

Jim: That white thing hanging out of your burger?!?!?

Bob: Uh... it's an onion.

Jim: AN ONION??! What f#@king idiot put an onion on your burger?!?! Dude... I'd call the manager if I were you.

Bob: Uh... I asked them to put onions on it.

Jim: YOU WHAT?!?!? Why the hell would you do a thing like that?!?!

Bob: Because I like onions, you twat. Geez. What is your deal, man...? Everyone has different tastes... I like onions... you don't... whatever... it's just a normal part of life.

Jim: I know that people have different tastes. I'm not a moron. But how the hell could you like onions?!?! They taste like sh#t. I mean, seriously... onions are the worst tasting food on the planet. Only a f#@king retard would like onions!!

Bob: What the hell is wrong with you dude?

Jim: What's wrong with me?!?!? What's wrong with YOU?!?! How can you call yourself an educated human being and actually like onions?!? What kind of unrefined, tasteless boob are you?

Bob: Holy hell, man... you have some serious issues.

Jim: It's probably all of those d@mn onion commercials they're always showing on TV. "Try onions... you'll like them". I mean really... the ONLY reason people like onions is because the TV tells them to. It's not physically possible that anyone could like onions of their own free will, because I don't like onions, and my taste in food is the gold-standard of the entire universe.

Bob: That's just plain absurd.

Jim: Is it? I submit that it is not! You just have to accept the fact that what I like is what determines somethings worth. For example, if a chef makes a dish that I don't like, that means the chef has no talent.

Bob: ...or that it just wasn't something suited to your tastes.

Jim: No, you dimwit. It means he has NO TALENT. If I don't like it, it means that the person who created it has no talent.

Bob: But nature created onions. Are saying that nature has no talent?

Jim: I guess I am. There's just no excuse for onions. They're pure evil.

Bob: You do realize that you sound completely insane getting that worked up over onions? I mean... it's just not healthy to have THAT strong of a hatred against a particular food. You just sound crazy.

Jim: Hey man... it's not crazy. It's just me trying to show you how WRONG you are for not liking the exact same thing as me. It's perfectly normal. And if you weren't so soul-less, you'd be doing the same thing.

Bob: Uh... but didn't you just say that I shouldn't do what other people are doing?? So, why should I do the same thing as you?

Jim: Hhhmm... I didn't think of that.

Bob: And what about foods that you like?

Jim: How do you mean?

Bob: Well... are there any foods that you like?

Jim: Hell yeah!! I like raw Ahi Tuna.... that's the best fish, by far (and if you don't think so, you're a tool). And I like goat's milk... and Venti Triple-Shot Soy Lattes... and..

Bob: [interrupts] OK... so what if I got everyone in here to like Ahi Tuna? Would you still like it?

Jim: Uh... well.. I mean... I guess I'd still like it... but if everyone else liked it too, then I'd probably start to find things wrong with it... and then eventually, I'd say that I never really liked it in the first place and that it was just a stupid phase I went through. I mean... I can't go liking something that everyone else is into... that's just lame.

Bob: [getting up from the table] Dude.... you are, hands down, the biggest dumb@ss I know.

Jim: [following Bob out to the car] Hey, whatever man... that's just your opinion.

Bob: [starting car] Yeah... I guess it is.

[radio begins playing]

Jim: OOOH! Nickleback!! ....I LOVE this band!

This is how it should have went. The ONLY way it should have went.

I knew the thread would be an entertaining exercise in ridiculous excessive internet babble....and y'all didn't let me down...

Pfft.

What have you given to the human race? A guitar riff?

Still past bedtime.

Dude. Seriously, shut up !

Do you even know what sounds good and what's music? Because, after listening to the recording examples on your site, I definitely don't see you as the true master of audiophilia and recording. That s**t really sounds bad dude. And needs some mastering. Maybe you should ask Brad "Dumbass" for some help.

Dynamics? Do you even know what you're talking about? Or you're just spewing out what someone told you somewhere?

I wouldn't take advice from you about what's listenable, because you seem as clueless as my goldfish.

PS: Have some self respect and don't come to the forum when you're drunk. You're just making a fool of yourself dude.

And you probably don't even know what Evanescence record I mastered.

But go ahead and crucify me, tough guy.

I had no idea 'low end theory' meant 'low class', but I'm out. I'm sure there are better places to hang...

This coming from a guy who holds up Nickelback as a pinnacle of quality production .... I'll actually take that as a compliment! Thanks.

Cool! Keep thinking like that.
Your ignorance helps make this industry more and more uncompetitive :)

News flash!! Heavily compressed mixes aren't a sin. I know... it's shocking, but believe it or not, there's nothing morally wrong with heavy limiting. Go figure.

If you don't like it... that's cool. But some people do like it... and that's also cool. Get used to people being different than you.... it's called planet earth.


Seriously... calling someone the "enemy" for mastering music in a way that doesn't suit your tastes??? Are you insane?

Oh well, I gave up already. Been dealing with crap like this for a long time :)

I'm sure that somewhere in a dark hotel room, Chad Krueger sits and weeps about this thread. The Nickelback engineers and management are probably there too, all sitting around a laptop, weeping.

Where is the moderator for this section? I tried to figure out where things went wrong. I think it was when everyone started acting like 12 year olds. Page 2.

Anyone can make music without a structure. 10 minutes of random notes and uneven beats is quite "creative" isn't it? Very artistic, but it would sound like crap. It's music we're talking about isn't it? you know, that thing where the basic goal is.... to sound GOOD?...

If instead of listening and feeling what sounds good, you're analyzing if the song has a "template" or not, then I really don't know if you should be in this business, my friend.

Actually it was multiple songs. lol

And to reinterate, I never said Nickelback sounded "bad". Their records sound great production wise for that style. But they just don't have much to say. It's all form over content.

A good song is a good song regardless of the recording quality. Don't confuse good songs for production quality Yeah, COF's first 50 records sounded like shit but they were more creatively original and complex than Nickelback imo. Of course this is all up to the "styles" you understand and like, and you obviously don't like the extreme stuff. But call a spade a spade. Nickelback is redneck rock, albeit good sounding.

Have you ever considered another field maybe? I suggest proctology. ;-)

Ahhh yes. No immature thread rant is complete without a tasteless poop joke.
