Yes ... Absolutely!!! Trick-or-Treat at our house. We always give away the old-fashioned full sized Herseys chocolate bars available at Costco. Have fun and come early : ) |

I just don't understand how people dislike them either. When I first heard Rockstar, the lyrics really spoke to me.
I want a brand new house On an episode of Cribs And a bathroom I can play baseball in And a king size tub big enough For ten plus me The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat And we'll hang out in the coolest bars In the VIP with the movie stars Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair, and well Seriously, this stuff is so relatable! It inspires me to go live the life of a rockstar, and since when is living the life of a rockstar a bad thing?! |

| "It’s hard to get inside the existential paradox of Kroeger’s life on tour: Every day, he gives interviews to journalists and radio DJs who directly ask him why no one likes his band. Every night, he plays music to thousands of enraptured superfans, many of whom love him with a ferocity that’s probably unhealthy. Every concert ends with a standing ovation; if he feels motivated, he spends the remainder of the night partying with forgettable strangers who will remember him for the rest of their lives. Eventually, Kroeger falls asleep. And then he wakes up in a beautiful hotel room, only to read new articles about how everyone in North America hates his band." http://grantland.com/features/taking-concert-doubleheader-creed-nickelback-world-most-hated-bands/ |

Rock star is actually intended to be ironic/self deprecating I think. I've always listeneed to it as a self-aware statement on why people hate their band so much. So, I love it

I don't like their music, but I don't hate them. They're not interesting enough to hate. They're just another boring bland band that came about in the pop culture wasteland of the early 2000s that also gave us Staind, Puddle of Mud, Incubus, etc.
I mean, if you listened to mainstream rock radio back then, you remember...it was even worse than it is now, what with all the faux-sensitive-alt-bro indie rock Mumford Leon Hozier nonsense. |

Because they sound like they're trying to take a shit while singing.....

Cheesy
Not genuine Boring To dismiss is one thing, but the hatred is weird. People are bullies. |

Rush sucks. It's something that only frat boys who are a hair smarter than the rest of their frat could love. Just terrible. |

| Rush is all fun and games until Geddy Lee starts to sing. |

| Um, because their music is horrible. |

WHAT? That's because the lyrics are too hard for you to understand. Rush is not for dummies. |

THIS! There are a few Nickelback songs I like, and a few I turn off, but every time I hear John Mayer I get the heebs. That breathy high voice and his reputation, ew. Though he does seem like a good guitarist. |
