Great post. The only reason that Nickelback is famous is because they’re effective spokesmodels for what corporate America considers the “rock and roll lifestyle.” They’re a pre-packaged consumer product, just like Velveeta cheese. This isn’t music, it’s an ad campaign for cheap beer. Rock on, idiots. And don’t forget to borrow lots of money and eat all the fast food you can.

yeahh ahha they do sound the same meaning the nickelback thing. i hate them soooo much but the linkin park one isnt true with those songs sorry man. i can hear it just listening. someone messed with the pitch of numb compared to the other song idk what it is. but the pitch was messed with to match the other song. its sounds way to low to be the singer of linkin park. and plus the harmonics of the guitar in the song to the right speaker just happened to almost sound like numb but in a diffrent key. it sounds as if its a half to a whole step down to the REAL song.

but yeah nickleback sucks period ahahha

they arent even a band i can list the bands that suck haha

HANNAH MONTANA lmao

I kinda like the way it sounds, I hear simiarities but there are also a lot of differences. If it wasn’t for people showing how they sound the same, I wouldn’t have gotten to hear it. I love Nickelback and think that this remix of the two songs sounds awesome.

Now as for fans not caring, why should we? I for one buy cds because of the lyrics and music so if I like the music in one song, why wouldn’t I like it in another? The words are different so who cares?

Wow Howard. That was some throwdown you just put on that poor thirteen
year old fanatic. Thanks for sparing me the effort.

Wow, did someone’s nerve get touched? Hubs, can I put a link to my post about how to make an intelligent, logical argument here?

Here’s the thing, the only copyrightable materials in a song are melody and lyric, so key and tempo cannot be argued here when it comes to a plagiarism charge. Besides, they are ‘borrowing’ from themselves. Are they going to take themselves to court? Doubt it.

The fact is the songs do sound similar — NOT the same — and that is what is being brought to people’s attention. I don’t blame Nickleback for doing it when you’ve got the pressure of the record label to make another hit and fanatics like Elizabeth demanding more of the same. What does it matter? Their fans’ money is going to the record label and only a few pennies from each dollar will end up in the band’s pockets anyway.

I love the fact that people say things like “just because YOU don’t have a life” when they won’t spend the time to read the source material to discover whether that statement is valid. In order to have any opinion one should do some research and research is what the blog is all about. Ooo! Ironic!

The point of the matter is that statements like Elizabeth’s have no credence since it is purely emotion-based and has no thought put into it other than playground touts — 3-grade level debate, one might say.

Eh, at least she gave a name, I’ll give her props for that.

1. THE SONGS SOUND NOTHING ALIKE! When they’re played on top of each other like this moron did, they sound lke garble. Why is that? Because they’re DIFFERENT MEOLODIES, KEYS, AND TEMPOS!

2. Even if they WERE exactly the same song, calling a music group “lazy bastards” and their fans “deluded” just because YOU don’t have a life only goes to show how desparate this guy is for attention.

3. NPR introduced the tard as a “college student and musician” leading me to think that the “musician” part isn’t working out too well.

DUMBASS.

OK, prepare to laugh!

I really like them. Have seen them in concert twice.

And yeah, they do sound similiar but so what?

My 2 cents.

Who the hell is Nickelback? And, as Kevin would say, I’m pretty up on the bad music! Guess *I* need to get off my lazy wanker and listen to it too.
