OK what does everyone think of the new Nickleback music?????I think it is just ok. Some of there other stuff was much better.

Completely agree. It's a 'safe' and predictable sound. That's how every FM radio metal band sounds now. It's cool to write songs about being vindictive about your failed relationships, mope about getting hurt, and have the chip-on-the-shoulder image.

Where's the beef? Where's the legions of 1980s Metallica fans chanting "FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS"?????? It's out there, just don't watch MTV or listen to 106.9.

Even what was an arena for somewhat lesser unknown bands to get out there is now totally commercialized. Try watching MTV2s headbangers ball or The Rock Countdown. Every 20 second commerical in between is other record companies pushing their new metal bands.

Some other completely awesome bands:

You cant go wrong with some IRON MADIAN!!!!!

Got 10th row for Maiden at the Meadows(Dodge) October 4th. The only band in this threadr that are worth mentioning are In Flames, Soilwork and Anthrax. All the rest wish they were Maiden. Up the Irons. Sharon should be eaten alive by Eddie

Ltoolmanb, that's because of Sharon Osbourne and BLS screwing with Maiden. That's why people hate them both. At the last show in CA. she had people in her entourage throw eggs at Bruce Dickinson, mind you every band in Ozzfest had to sign an egreement not to throw anything into the audiance, including drum sticks or picks, and she had the sound equipment turned on and off and had some idiot keep saying Ozzy over Bruce while he was singing.
