Just a little song I made about Nickelback...

[Foxy Boy]

... And how much they really, truly suck.
Oh, and don't cry ripoff, because this is a joke.

How the hell'd we get fans like this
Why were we able
To get the break others missed
They should've turned the tables
Nirvana has clenched their fists
We've screwed up their style
Lately there's been too much of this
Too many missed by a mile
Nothing's good
Just as long as you hear us
Someday we'll go
Someday, somehow
Our fans will wise up all right, but not right now
God knows you're wondering when
(You're the only one who sees that)
Someday, somehow
We'll fade away into naught, but not right now
Hell yeah, you're wondering when
(You're the only one who sees that)

I never really liked Nirvana when they were first out either, but I HATE them now, as what evil has Kurt Cobain and his doppelgangers unleashed upon the world?

[jeff the cheff]

Thats kinda funny, I hate Nback too.

That's not as good as my parody of Motorhead's Triple H theme, or my parody of Linkin Park's "One Step Closer."

====================

"All About the Same" parody of "Time to Play the Game" (Triple H's theme) by Motorhead

It's all about the same.

All about the same!

(laugh)

It's all about the same, you know we hate it!
All about control, you know Trips can take it!
We hate it all to death, if we can all make it!
All about the same, we're not gonna take it!

It's all the same, you don't want to watch me!
The asshole, no way you can match me!
I am wrestling's death, no way you can sway me!
I am the same, and I know you can't take me!

Belt over my shoulder, once again
McMahon's little b*tch since 27!
I am the same, and I make the rules!
Married his daughter now who's the fool?

Try to figure out what the show's gonna be
Don't worry, sucker, leave it all up to me.
Don't you forget I always get my way,
'Cause it's all the same, and I want to play!

It's all about the same!

(Laughter)

All about the same!

It's all about the same, you know you hate it!
All about control, you know Trips can take it!
You hate it all to death, if you can all make it!
All about the same, are you gonna take it?

It's all the same, you don't want to watch me!
The asshole, no way you can match me!
I am wrestling's death, no way you can sway me!
I am the same, and I know you can't take me!

Play my game,
You're gonna be the same,
You're gonna place the blame,
Your TV dies in flames!

(laughter)

All about the same!

It's all about the same!
It's all about the same!
It's all about the same!
It's all about the same!

===================

"Indulgence" parody of "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park

I cannot take this anymore.
Eating everything I ate before.
All this food I just say yes.
I find bliss in indulgence.
Less I eat the less I'm tame.
Fridge is cleaned out everyday.

Just like before.

[CHORUS:]
All this food it calls to me.
Now I'm one step closer to the fridge,
And I'm about to binge.
I need a little room to eat,
'Cause I'm one step closer to the fridge,
And I'm about to binge.

I find some turkey and some beer.
Watch me make it all just disappear.
All this food I just say yes.
I find bliss in indulgence.
Diets seem to go astray,
Over and over again.

Just like before.

[repeat CHORUS]

Stuffed up after eating the food.
Stuffed up (x4)
I'm about to binge.

[repeat CHORUS]

====================

BTW, I don't think Nickelback is all that bad. Most of their songs have good lyrics and an occassional good sound.

[Kid Icarus]

<rant>
Woah woah woah woah WOAH!

Nirvana did NOT make music like Nickelback. Kurt would have been like 'wow... holy **** these guys ****ING SUCK.'

Nirvana was a punk band first, grunge band second. They hated that lable. You wanna listen to some bands that Nirvana played a part in getting the mainstream to listen to? Here's a list...

Shonen Knife
The Melvins
Mudhoney
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
The Pixies
Dinosaur Jr.
Butthole Surfers
Scream (Dave's old band...)
The Germs (Pat's old band...)
Screaming Trees
Flipper

Now, go listen to some of those bands. The only ones that sound anything like NB are pry Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, but they're just SO much better it's not even funny. NB just sucks.

:lol: :lol: Good job. I nearly pissed myself reading this.

Dude, those bands shouldn't even be mentioned in one sentence.

No, Nirvana was not like Nickelback in sound ENTIRELY, but every single mainstream rock band I've heard lately with the exception of Velvet Revolver would not be here were it not for grunge, which Nirvana pushed to the mainstream along with its punk sound. It's gradually evolved to something different, but its roots definitely rest with Kurt in his grave.
Every single band like NB, Linkin Park and even Green Day have at least some of that sound in their own style, and after a while it all starts to blend together, whether they're really that much LIKE Nirvana or Pearl Jam or Soundgarden or not.
Today's alternative isn't necessarily that horrible and festering, but my ears can't take a rock song with no professional-sounding guitar solos, just a half-(butt)ed main riff that lasts through 90% of the song while the lead singer drones on in some nasal, whiny tone about relationships, how much his life sucks (LP, I'm lookin' at YOU on that one), or anything else nobody else cares about.
If you want a good group, try Nightwish, Sonata Arctica or Opeth. At least they have completely individual styls that don't follow any mainstream artist.

</end my rant as well>

[Kid Icarus]

Exactaly, which is why these bands are such a big disgrace to his legacy.

They're also why I haven't listened to rock radio for over a year now :lol: .

I've learned to ignore what the mainstream says is good with music, just like I've had to do with videogames. It sucks when bands that have talent get rejected... but the ironic thing is, that's why Nirvana pushed these weird bands no one had heard of so much. They had/have talent, it was just getting people to ignore the crap that was flodding the market and pay attention.

The past's repeating its self though, and we're ripe for another musical revolution. Then that one'll get boring, and the record industry'll sap the sound for all they can until something new comes along. Happens every 10-15 years or so.

How could Green Day's style have been influenced by what Nirvana did when they formed around the same time?

[Voltron]

Isn't it obvious? Greenday has a time machine. DUH

[Brodie]

Billie Joe was the one who stole my Flux Compacitor..... Damn you Billie Joe! DAMN YOUSE!

[raphael_is_cool]

I'd imagine the influence comes from being in the same 'scene'. At least that was my friend's half-assed explanation when I told him Green Day and The Offspring already had elements of Nirvana's style before they became infamous.

I frankly don't think too much of Nirvana while early Offspring is freakin' amazing and early Green Day (well not as early as Smoothed Out... yeuch!) was alright
