Anyone who's ever spent any time reading my blog probably knows that I fucking hate Nickelback. Now they've resorted to ripping off melodies from other CFOX Seeds winners. I've taken the liberty of creating two MP3 clips. One is Nickelback's new song, "Photograph". The other is the original song, "Don't Wanna Go", by Crowned King. Listen and judge for yourself. It's funny because I actually think, "hey this new Nickelback song isn't too bad..." when I hear it, but then I realize, that it's because they FUCKING STOLE IT. As usual, Chad's lyrics sound like a poem written by an eighth grader who's failing english, but we won't get into that. Anyway, I hope somebody takes Chad and the boyz to task on this one.

I don't understand how you can sit there and say that this is a bad song simply because the music is similar! There have been plenty of other artists who draw from music of other people!
Posted by: skyler at September 9, 2005 08:18 PMIf you'd read my post properly, I said they stole the melody and that Chad Nickelback is a shitty lyricist. And yes artists do get influenced by one another, but usually they don't steal melodies outright. It's not like they weren't both Seeds winners and there's no relationship between the two bands.
