It's a sad and beautiful world.
The true tragedy of 9/11/01 is that it was the release date of Nickelback's album "Silver Side Up," which spawned the hit single "How You Remind Me" and launched the career of the Canadian band.



According to Wikipedia, the album has gone platinum 8 times!



Teach your children. This must never be repeated!

she had tiny Italian boobs.
Well that's my story.
I thought the girl in the music video was hot for a few seconds, then I felt like she was just going to eat my soul



plus she had a crazy noticeable gap in her front teeth

I mean I'm not gonna say I didn't jerk off to this chick a few times back when I was like 13 and had a TV in my room but not a computer.

And to be honest, the song isn't that bad. It's everything that came after it that was awful.

I actually bought a copy of this album when it came out. Still have it somewhere, I'm pretty sure. And y'know, that first song isn't that bad, especially considered the steady torrent of steaming poo poo Nickelback has been unleashing since this came out.


Oh, and the Spider-Man song was actually pretty alright too, as songs from superhero movies go. Though that's not setting the bar very high.

Well they're crying Quicksilver because that's an elf, and that's the fluid they cry with I don't get how that confuses you

Nickleback has long been associated with Elves, since they started their career opening for other more successful bands at the Seelie Court

I was told a good friend the same thing and he more or less backhanded me. While he was driving.

That's a testament to how lovely Chad Kroger is; even when he makes something decent it still inspires physical retaliation by association.

I don't get how people hate Nickelback so much. They're so bland and generic. It's like if people really hated vanilla, or the color taupe or something. Like, what's there to hate, or love, or have any strong feelings about one way or another?

this poo poo came out so long ago that the bilderberg group and the greys were able to shove it down everyone's throats by playing it on the radio ten times an hour. we chafed under the bit
