[PVnRT]

Still think it's a bad thing? Or do you side with Nickelback?

1. I choked on my tea laughing at the first line.

"Nickelback Guy Chad Kroeger is concerned about the state of the music industry - in particular the lack of decent rock bands."

Oh, the irony.

[LeftyMom]

2. Irony is dead. Irony was preceded in death by God, Rock and the lawn.

May Irony rest in peace.

[Danger Mouse]

3. From Sage Francis:

"Irony is dead, it's so mother fuckin' dead, I was there at its deathbed...
And the last words that it said was 'White boys'"

7. Sage Francis rules.

10. My current favorite line of his is from 'The Cure'

'When a boy writes off the world it's done with sloppy misspelled words
When a girl writes off the world it's done in cursive.'

also from the same song
'Life is just a lie with with an f in it, and death is definite.'

11. That Non-Prophets album is so great.

Definitely one of my favourite hip-hop albums.

14. And satire.

Tom Lehrer famously declared that satire was dead when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize; I don't think he ever wrote anything again. (Lehrer that is, not Kissinger).

[Dr. Strange]

4. And my sigline gets an updating!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

5. Nickelback talking about a lack of good rock music?

Did I enter the twilight zone? Is it opposite day? Or does Chad really think he's a 'good' musician? I thought that he knew he's a stupid hack, that's part of his charm?
Or does he really take himself that seriously?

[ghostsofgiants]

6. No, he think's he's good.

There's not a bone of self conscious irony in that guy's body. All his irony is accidental, as per the above quote.

[Danger Mouse]

8. Anybody who pens the song 'Animals' and thinks it's anything but utter shit...

should be shut away from society where they can inflict no further harm on their fellow man.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I'm sayin'.

[PVnRT]

13. Ain't nothing wrong with it

[LanternWaste]

12. Forgot where I heard it, but...

Forgot where I heard it, but "I'm too lazy to learn to play the pretend guitar..."
