Well, in the end Chad wins because Stone Sour was kinda mediocre at best, and they broke up. Side note, it’s pathetic how people used to shit on bands like Nickelback and their peers in the 2000’s when you had faggy emo bands like my chemical romance. smh….
It's incredible how a dumb trend can cloud people's minds, Corey Taylor started it all because it turns out that Roadrunner Records paid more attention to Nickelback than Slipknot, this is because Chad was and is a hit-making machine, while Slipknot is a noise-making machine, when Slipknot realized that making noise wasn't bringing them profits, they started incorporating melodic vocals, and that's when they really blew up as a band (All Hope Is Gone), Stone Sour had to do the same thing: make more melodic songs with clean vocals. In other words, Corey Taylor's only talent is that his voice hasn't broken from all the screaming and noise he makes, for everything else, he had to copy Nickelback formula, and not even fully. To get attention, he has to act like the bad guy; otherwise, he would be completely irrelevant today. If Chad says Nickelback is diverse, it's because it's true, Nickelback has done Grunge (Curb, Little Friend, Where?), Metal (Because Of You, This Means War, Feed The Machine, The Betrayal Act III), Groove Metal (Side Of A Bullet), Country (Rockstar, Cowboy Hat, Good Times Gone), Hard Rock (Burn It To The Ground, Animals, How You Remind Me), Alternative Rock (Photograph, When We Stand Together, Song On Fire), Pop Rock (She Keeps Me Up, Get 'Em Up, What Are You Waiting For). So cry all you want, Nickelback is by far a thousand times better than anything Corey Taylor does, but if you insist on listening to the garbage Corey makes, go ahead, though you must be pretty messed up in the head to do so.
Ok Nickelback is really not diverse, coming from someone who likes their music. Listen to Next Go Round, Midnight Queen, and Animals and tell me they aren't repetitive. Or listen to Photograph, Someday and Savin' Me. And even if Corey's honestly kind of an arrogant prick too, he was completely right in this feud. He even responded by saying that the other members of Nickelback are cool guys, it's just Chad that he can't stand. Chad even went as far as saying that Corey can't write a hit song, which is just complete bullshit. Corey has managed to write several hit songs in his musical career. So Chad is definitely in the wrong here for stating complete bullshit.
I have to disagree, I cant think of a band more formulaic than Nickelback. Slipknot started as a bunch of angsty kids who were angry with nowhere to go and had crazy talent. They just had to learn how to refine it. You may say slipknot was just making noise but that's what our forefathers said about Chubby Checker, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest(the list goes on) I would compare them to Blink-182, blinks first album didn't go anywhere either, but you cant tell me they aren't one of the most influential bands of the modern age. Sure Nickelback could write radio hits, but I would debate slipknot had a more dedicated fanbase(were literally willing and happy to be called maggots....fight me) I'm just saying I wouldn't downplay Slipknot as just "making noise" that's both uninformed and disingenuous.
@@user-vy1md9mi8q I have no idea how you perceive things, but the truth is: First, Corey Taylor alone would not have gotten where he is now, most of the success Slipknot or Stone Sour have can be more attributed to the rest of the band than to him alone, of course he is the soul of his own bands because he is the singer and sings well, but very few times has he been the main writer of the songs he sings, only two of his own songs have become moderately massive hits, like "Snuff" or "Through Glass" additionally, Slipknot is a niche band that increased their video views with the hype of the internet; otherwise, they would be less relevant today. On the other hand, Chad Kroeger has been the author of almost all of Nickelback's songs, even though they may be easy to play on guitar or have crappy lyrics, when compared to Slipknot or Stone Sour, they are much catchier and have more groove, otherwise, no one would say Nickelback is a guilty pleasure, this is why, and because Corey had been mocking him for almost the same reasons people hate Nickelback, Chad told him to try writing a hit, besides, when he said Nickelback was diverse and he couldn't think of another band like them, I completely agree, because Can you name another band that has done metal to pop in less than a second?, there was an extremely ridiculous comment mentioning Avenged Sevenfold as diverse, but the person who wrote it admitted they only write metal, now, I could say that Bring Me The Horizon is diverse, which is true, but it's not a band that comes to mind immediately if you're someone who listens to everything, on the other hand, the internet also helped Nickelback, but they already had everything before that happened, in contrast, I repeat, without the internet, no one would pay attention to Slipknot because most of the success of their music and hits is based on an overhype created thanks to RU-vid videos, otherwise, they would be on the same level as Stone Sour. And to conclude, tell me, Who listens to music based on its complexity?, ask anyone, and they will tell you it's completely ridiculous, people listen to music because it's good, period, if Nickelback didn't have absurdly bad lyrics, many more people would agree with me, I have the lucky advantage of not being a native english speaker, so I don't care much about the lyrics, I can understand why people wouldn't listen to Nickelback, but it's not like people are very concerned about lyrics, at least I believe that the goodness of a song comes more from the melody than the lyrics, that's all I can say.
@@ElThunder Nah. Slipknot isn’t famous and hyped just because of the internet, they are famous for Corey and the guys being able to write many hit songs. If anything, Nickelback are the ones that are more famous because of the internet because of the constant memes and jokes. Also, there are countless bands more diverse than Nickelback (e.g Metallica, Megadeth, Linkin Park (dont even like their music), Avenged Sevenfold, Foo Fighters, Queen, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons etc.) and if you listen to a handful of Nickelback songs you will hear plenty of things in common whether its their ballads or hard rock songs, they have things in common such as lyrical themes or structures. Nickelback have made a couple different tracks, so they arent as formulaic as one or two other bands out there (cough cough acdc) but they’re still pretty repetitive. I agree Nickelback has good melodies but some lyrics are godawful that they almost ruin the song (figured you out for example). So overall I think you’re the one perceiving this from a biased perspective, not me.
OK, I’m really trying hard, but there’s no way for me to defend the comment about Mark Zuckerberg. I love Chad and Nickelback, but I can’t even begin to find a defense for that comment.
Well, I think Chad is right ...for sure Music should say it all by the hits that you have that's what the fans want to hear that's what they like... ❤️🎸 Most fans just love the music they love but a band that has hits they're writing stuff that the fans want to hear,... That's just facts.... No doubt about it... 🔥 I think that the guy from Slipknot bashed Chad first... About the money from the record company so f*** them... I would have said the same thing show it by writing music that makes the hit records, Bottom Line. ❤️
this corey dude needs to not be so butt hurt that a label had more faith in Nickelback. They should put their big panties on. He should put his mask back on....looks better that way. Nickelback is way more successful than this slipknot or stone sour crap.
Absolutely idiotic take. It is far more impressive for a band to go platinum status without any radio or mainstream support ( Slipknot ). Nickelback is bubble gum butt rock. Backstreet boys with guitars.
8:15 Did he non-ironically just say "I can't think of a band that's as diverse as we are?" i'm willing to defend Nickelback on multiple counts. Musical diversity?
@@mortensenvick5711 you have a strange concept of god. Chad couldn't match the talent of James Hetfield's pinky finger in terms of lyrical depth, playing ability...pretty much anything really
he's got a point when he said writing a GOOD hit song is hard to do. at first I thought it would be easy. same 4 chords, same tempo, yada yada yada. WRONG. WAS. I. !!!!!! anybody can write a "Hit song" but writing one that is actually a hit song is pretty damn hard to do.
Music isn’t diverse because on one song on the album is light and another is heavy. It’s diverse based on lyrics, chord progressions, drumming and structure if the song. That’s why people don’t think your diverse because most all nickleback songs are damn near identical with just enough of it changed to be considered a new song. With that said let me say nickleback has some bangers and guaranteed even people who claim to hate them have jammed out to at least one of their songs more than once voluntarily. I’d rather have a hunch if similar songs that are really good than a bunch of shit that sounds different but sounds bad. I’m not saying Corey Taylor has bad songs cus slip knot is the shit, I could care less about stone sour honestly
