I'm sorry: Nickelback track pack hits Rock Band next week photo

Next week, a "Nickelback Track Pack" is coming to the Rock Band Store. I have nothing else to say about this, so here are the songs in the pack:

  • "Burn it to the Ground"
  • "Figured You Out"
  • "Never Again"
  • "Photograph"
  • "Rockstar"
  • "This Afternoon"

The tracks are going to cost money or something, and will be available for those consoles that Rock Band is available on. Just… whatever.

If they added Genki Rockets, I might forgive them.

Might.

Rock Band: Star Wars Holiday Special would sound more appealing to the ears than this.

I guess they aren't interested in posting songs that people will actually buy.

They have so many possibilities for awesome songs, and yet they've been putting in some of the worst crap ever. Wasted potential. =/

"At least we still have puppies"

Didn't you know, Nick Chester? Every time a human spends money on Nickleback, God kills a puppy. Two, if they actually enjoy Nickleback, and aren't just buying a record for their retarded cousin or something.

So they slammed on Nickelback for like over a year, yet now they're actually putting their songs in the game? This just seems like more Harmonix pandering to the hardcore gamers for a year, by saying one thing, only to then do a complete about-face to pander to their mainstream consumers. You know, the ones who actually buy the game so much that it sells in the millions on all the system its on. Those are the ones who these songs are for, not people like us who are readying this news on gaming websites!

BANG!


Seriously though, I would pay double the track price for Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down songs on Rockband, but for miley fucking Cirus, Lady(man) fucking Gaga and Nickleback I will not pay a single penny.

I really don't get the hate on nickelback. They're not my favorite band or anything, like I usually skip past them on the radio, but I don't HATE THEM WITH THE BURNING PASSION OF TEN THOUSAND SUNS. So why does everyone hate them?

And if you say they're "generic" (which I've seen many people do) give me something more than that. they have their own songs that are different than most other songs people write (as most songs are, to avoid copywright infringement and what not), so why are they THE WORST BAND IN THE HISTORY OF ANYTHING EVER THAT EXISTED EVEN BEFORE THE BIG BANG AND OMG JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM MAKES ME KILL MYSELF AUGH I'M DEAD NOW SEE WHAT YOU DID TO ME YOU JERK

Here's my opinion. I will be disappointed if they release anything truly epic and has harmonies and/or keyboard parts since it was said that they will not start charting those in DLC until after RB3 is released.

Now back to Nickleback,the only Nickleback song I truly like is How You Remind Me so this is a pass for me.

@Explosion2 - You apparently haven't listened to them with your ears. Because if you did, they would be bleeding.

They are the WORST band in the history of music.

Damn, there's been a lot of shit DLC recently... come on Harmonix! Step it up!

It better be freaking Between the Buried and Me or Dream Theater pack next week lol.

Yeah, Nickleback aren't the WORST band in history... they're just uninspired and shitty.

It's not that bad that the DLC is getting realesed; you can just not buy it...

Well, now I think about, the announcement the Yes - Roundabout will be in RB3 more than makes up for this.

Nickelback aren't great, but you guys are seriously overreacting. I mean, this is definitely better than The Naked Brothers Band and Miley Cyrus.

Seriously, why would they release The Naked Brothers Band music on here? WHY?

So much butthurt going on here. They're not nearly as bad as you people make them out to be and not nearly as good as their popularity would make them out to be. They're just utterly average in all respects. No need to get sand in your vaginas

I've heard them. Still don't get why they are THE WORST BAND OMG I HATE THEM I CAN'T HEAR BECAUSE NOW MY EARS ARE BLEEDING BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THEM

I've heard songs that I liked a LOT less than nickelback. I HIGHLY dislike crabcore. not a fan of autotune, or screaming. putting them together doesn't make them better.

Nickelback blows to be sure, but I'm with Explosion2 on this one. They're awful, but most of the backlash seems to be a direct result of them selling a bazillion albums and people thinking they need to oppose really popular things.

Besides, everyone knows ICP is the worst "music" ever created. I would gladly listen to nothing but Nickelback's entire discography for a week instead of a single ICP song.

@Explosion2

My hate for Nickleback comes from two places:
1) I don't like their music, at all.
2) People I know *cough* my boss *cough* think they are great and blast that shit like its Pink Floyd, or AC/DC, or The Beatles or something.

So, whenever I have to hear music that I don't like on a constant basis, my hate for the music, and the musicians, grows exponentially.

@ ekm29 our Rock band group is pretty massive we have more than 1k songs in our rock band setlist, im pretty used to play at least 1 lady gaga song per rock band night... but i swear to god at least with lady gaga we can convince the pretty girls who join us to sing and drink... but nickelback? Thank God Im the one who chooses and download the songs and I will LITERALLY act like this week never happened...

Well....Maybe they're holding their good stuff back so they don't release anything awesome that isn't fully compatible with RB3. From what I understand, none of the DLC released from here until RB3's release will have keyboard/harmonies/pro mode support.

If anyone is wondering about the hate for Nickelback, like the hate for most popular bands or artist (Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa, modern Green Day), only begins with the music. The hate for Nickelback really takes off when you add in their rabid fanbase who worship them like fucking gods. And of course the more the haters hater the more the fans will cling and get massively defensive and so the rift is formed.

This has gotta be a joke though. I mean Miley Cyrus and Nickelback back-to-back? Harmonix knows exactly what they're doing. This is too...convienent for me to take seriously. I can't even get upset about it. Honestly I think it's kind of funny.

The hate for NickelBack began when people took "Photograph" and "Wise Man", their two first singles, and mashed them together on a single track, then realized they're THE SAME HARMONIES.

They're like old Green Day, but not fun and/or new and exciting.

ICP is quite bad, yes, but at least it has camp value. We definitely need some Miracles up in this bitch.

Reading your comments I actually hope they don't release great songs especially with keyboard before RB3, I would hate a Dream theather pack 2 weeks before RB3 and us begin for months for the keyboards to be charted for that pack... also I hope the price stays at 2 bucks, at the beginning i thought it was a bit overpriced, but with the added pro mode and 4 levels of difficulty for each instrument makes it a lot more work to chart and totally fair @ 2 bucks IMO, IM so excited for RB3!!!

I don't know what's worse. The Nickelback track pack or the fact that there are people on here insulting Lady Gaga by putting her in the same category as Nickelback.

Yea it's Someday! I mixed up "Wise Man" and "How You Remind Me" because it's the same song.

I think it's a good thing I didn't actually know the title :p
