Special_K · 03-30-2009, 10:22 AM

Its all the Americans buying their records. ;)

Dirty F · 03-30-2009, 10:23 AM

Who listens to Nickelback? Every person i know simply hates them. Not just don't like them no they hate them. Just like me. I can't stand that singer.

How the hell are Nickelback winning these awards. People, I beg of you to listen to the hundreds of other Canadian acts who are actually making interesting innovative, relevant music. Thumbs down for the Junos this year.

Last comment on that news page.

She nailed it.

Pretty much

Seriously though. Nickelback seems to be the band that people 'pretend' to hate in front of each other. How many people do you know say they 'HATE' Nickelback? Yet look at their album sales. People have to be boldly lying to each other.

the dumbest sell the mostest, thats the name of the game. its not about talent, its all about (international) sales. awards are meaningless.

You guys actually watch, or care about the Junos??

Can't speak for anyone else but I didn't watch at all, it was just in today's paper so I wanted to see what band got the big award.

The only people I've ever heard saying they like them are young kids and preteens, and women in the mid-thirty -to- late-fifty range in age.

One woman I used to know from N Cal who was 40-ish used to talk about how much she loved nickelback all the time, it drove me crazy.

There you have it... parents buying for their kids, young teens spending their allowance money, and middle-aged women.

Huge market.

Yeah the Canadian music scene sucks right now. Aside from Dallas Green, not much happening. Lot's of great local bands, but if the big record companies think you won't sell outside of Canada there isn't much hope for you.

Nicklelback

Magnus · 03-30-2009, 11:18 AM

They base a portion of the Juno winners on record sales, so relevant bands that don't suck shit don't stand a chance. You will always see Celine Dion/Bryan Adams/Diana Krall/Nickleback.. the whole thing is a farce.

madm1k3 · 03-30-2009, 11:28 AM

Junos suck ass, Nickelback is a National Shame

Bored · 03-30-2009, 11:33 AM

ahaha

I thought nickleback only released one song. Kinda like wesly willis but for rock. No one really pays attention and the same song wins over and over..

silly :sheep
