Nickelback make awful music but great comedy.

[livejournal.com profile] stitchedsutures linked this and I just had to share it. It is everything I despise about Nickelback made hilarious, as well as quite possibly the most awesome record review of all time. I've lost track of how many times over the last few years I've had some version of this exchange:

Me: So you like metal?
Other Person: Yeah! I just got the new Nickelback cd!
Me: *facepalm*

To those people, this is for you.

THAT was one of the best reviews I have ever read. I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. That pairs with Nickelback nicely.

I can't contain myself just thinking about it. The part about priapic brain-trauma Hetfield is probably my favorite.

Lars being mangled in a thresher accident...hee hee.

"So bad it was unintentionally good like Nick Cage's performance in Wicker Man."

Oh, God... must... stop... laughing...
I can't breathe.

Don't worry, you're not alone in hating Nickelback. I hate every insipid note of their "music."

lol how could anyone think that Nickelback=metal??? I'm no expert on metal, but I know that Nickelback isn't anywhere near metal.

That review is great though, although I feel kind of bad for that guy since he probably had to suffer though listening to that album in order to write it.

ROFL! That was hilarious. Now I kinda want to meet Meth Robert Frost.
*wonders if a thresher is like a combine*

You might like this-it's a skit from Royal Canadian Air Farce, a well-known comedy troop up here. Somehow they got Nickelback to do a parody music video for them. (Sadly this is the best quality version that I could find.)
