While on the subject of Nickelback’s crimes against music, I’m still laughing about this petition (with 54,000 signatures) to replace Nickelback for the halftime show during the Detroit Lions game next week:
If Gord is a Newfoundland Tulk – and I think 105% of Tulks are Newfoundland Tulks – then take him at his word. If he says Great Big Sea sucks, then they fucking well suck.
You might be on to something. Saw them on George Street this summer. The thousands who stood in the rain singing to every song couldn’t stand them. I got a soft spot for ’em.
Great Big Sea are Canada’s worst active band. I still think the all-time title might go to some big-haired 80s CanCon dreck. Parachute Club? Glass Tiger?
I damn near threw my beer at the TV screen when that collection of screeching caterwaulers came out to play during the closing ceremonies of the Vancouver Games. Jesus … we were admitting to the world that these guys are Canadian! But, even though they poll as the most hated band anywhere on Earth, they still manage to sell millions of CDs regularly …. Somebody down there likes them ….
She said she barely recognized the “man in the toque” and blue jeans, who met her and just happened to be Prime Minister. She spent the day enjoying “Beaver Teeth” tarts (she was joking; they were actually Sugar Pie tarts) and having sips of Goldschlager (it’s a liqueur with gold flecks in it) and a raspberry liqueur called Sour Puss.
Even if Harper was hanging with DOA, the Doughboys, and Kelly Buchberger, he would still suck.
That forced little smile is priceless–did Mr. Common Touch even know who he was posing with?
Oh yes–Nickelback is ab-so-freakin’-loutly TERRIBLE. Never mind Keystone or supposed ‘dirty oil’. As an Albertan, it is those cheeseshead jagoffs that I gotta apologize for most often while in the USA…
This is probably the best argument for Harper’s tough on crime and adult sentencing for youth bills. Chad might still be you know where and Canadians would have been spared from the worst ever band
Come on people. You know it is much worse to use the ‘f’ word than to steal 880,000 dollars of tax money in an in and out scheme and not pay it back. I don’t have the enrgy to list all the corrupt things the conservatives have done so everyone can fill in their own blanks. Sorry, a bit off the subject, but it made me feel good.

The horror!……the horror!……
Had to have been at a Con Convention……which kind of exemplifies Cons poor taste in most things…….

The reasons people signed are great – my personal favorites:
– Haven’t the good people of Detroit been through enough?
– I imagine hell is nothing more than an endless Nickleback concert. That fear is what keeps me from doing bad things.
Worst Canadian band of all time? I think yes.
That would be Shit From Hell, thank you very much.
Finally Gord weighs in on music and is found to be … wanting
I was sure Gord would say Paul Anka was the worst… that guy is just too hip…
Have to agree with Gord. Great Big Sea and Nickelback are tied in my books.
If Gord is a Newfoundland Tulk – and I think 105% of Tulks are Newfoundland Tulks – then take him at his word. If he says Great Big Sea sucks, then they fucking well suck.

As for the worst, check out this guy:

Check out his band listings. He’s hilarious and few are spared his wrath.

I might agree with you if I had a clue who the other guy is. A hockey player? Right-to-lifer? Don Cherry’s nephew?
… nah, his name is Stephen Harper. You don’t have to remember it though, it’s not important.
.
Chad Kroeger of “I performed auto-fellatio so I could win a case of beer” fame?…….
Perhaps that explains the gravelly vocals…..
The very same guy who asked the arresting officer, when getting busted for drunk driving in Surrey BC, “Do you know who I am?”!
Who are you?
I’m CHAD. FUCKING. NICKLEBACK!
(Honest to shit, CAPTCHA, I hate you.)

The Teeth. The Jacket.
Outshone by the big red gut.
Wow. So much to shield my eyes from.
Too bad Harper isn’t a Liberal – the Big Red Gut would be a pretty sweet nickname…
Better than the big red tent! 😉
Bazinga!
Most hated band with most hated man, twofer.
Jann Arden and Steve Harper – BLECH
She said she barely recognized the “man in the toque” and blue jeans, who met her and just happened to be Prime Minister. She spent the day enjoying “Beaver Teeth” tarts (she was joking; they were actually Sugar Pie tarts) and having sips of Goldschlager (it’s a liqueur with gold flecks in it) and a raspberry liqueur called Sour Puss.

So Jann is hanging with the Harpers. Oh well, now I have to go and throw out my Jann Arden Cd’s.
Who serves liquers in the afternoon?
I can’t even spell them…
She “endorsed” Harper in 2008 I think.
Frig off. Seriously? For a bunch of reasons this makes nooooo sense.
You actually anything that the freakshow Nadine Lumley has to say?
Even if Harper was hanging with DOA, the Doughboys, and Kelly Buchberger, he would still suck.

Nicklecrap and the CRAP coalition. Just the same old repetitive ideas that no longer work.
Isn’t that dude a convicted criminal? Impaired driving has always seemed a bit reprehensible in my books, but maybe Harper can look past that I guess.
Hey – he didn’t even have a problem with Bruce Carson.
I can’t unsee this. What’s bigger? Nickleback’s record sales or Harper’s boiler?
don’t forget this beauty…which is still etched in the memories of those of us who served…

Getting the website but the pics are just black – what don’t I have to get them?
