Did Math Make Nickelback Famous?

*******AH ~HE'S NO GENIOUS~ LOL

Whatever they were doing made them an ass ton of cash.

Whatever crazy reason he wants to use to describe how he got famous is fine. But you can't get famous without a tremendous amount of work and talent. No one goes to Nickelback concerts to hear them describe solutions to math problems. =)

A lot of musically-talented people are also good at math. But I'd describe his math formula more as "business savvy".

love them

Nickleback sucks balls

It was evident from the get-go that Nickelback was all about commercial success. Their music is certainly formulaic so it's hardly shocking that their approach to fame and fortune is formulaic as well.

So he could count his nickels, big deal.

Nah, just the fact that they can write a lot of boring music that all sounds the same which somehow millions of people buy.

Nope, just idiots.

, but in some cases it is the main reason a person is famous.

But... I really think its that awesome blond hair, black beard duo of his that really did it.

Nickelback is famous coz Chad Kroeger is so talented...n it jst happened.

A general population with piss poor musical taste did.

The success of pop groups comes down to math and science. Nickelback isn't that great of a group, yet all of their singles have been major hits because of the times of year they were released in accordance to the subject matter and sound of the song. You can try this out to see exactly what I am talking about. Look up a nickelback song and when its release date was as a single. Then listen to it the opposite time of year. So, look up a summer release of theirs and try listening to it now. Doesn't sound right, does it? Kind of sounds "off" doesn't it? That is because of the science and math that goes in to being a sucessful record label. With that being said, that is only the math behind the release dates. Song structure is a whole other thing. A song doesn't have to be great to get in your head. Nickelback has figured out that way for radio stations to say "Well, its time for a Nickelback-type sonng. Might as well play the new Nickelback single." Most successful artists/labels have their own formula. Its worked for Eminem for over a decade now: Funny celebrity song, serious angry song, then make some publicity, start over.

Don't really care, as long as they keep making that sound!

It's his life. So he probably knows it better than most, if not, all of us.

Talent and luck play a great part. I fail to see how applying a numer formula would help.

"Talent and luck play a great part."

Nowadays, the latter is more of an attributing factor than the former.

I agree with you about some of our "stars". Maybe math formulas are the answer.

True; maybe math formulas, combined with gimmicks and publicity stunts.

Do you suppose we could "math forula" Bieber or Rhiana away?

I doubt it. If there were a "math formula" for that, Bieber AND Rhiana would have been gone a long time ago, with Bieber being the first to vanish.

Too bad! i was never really good at math anyway! Theywill disappear for other reasons, just like all those before have done.

Women love Delta Bravos, unfortunately

Being incredibly lame and appealing to the lowest common denominator made them famous.

Now if it said METH...

Hard work and perceverence made Chad Kroeger and Nickelback famous and successful.

for some reason people like it when their ears bleed

LOL - I'm one of those people who turn it up to eleven!

I've heard that. Probably why I'm so lacking in musical ability myself!

It sure as hell wasn't musical talent. Like most things that are popular these days, they are famous because people are stupid.

The mathematics it's based on is from telling the clerk "I want my nickel back."

could be never can tell

He probably meant Meth.

Hahaha

If there's a mathematical formula, we'd have a lot more famous people than we do because people would figure it out.

Lol.. You all are haters.. Nickelback is a great band if you enjoy rock music. :)

they sure dont have any talent, so there must be something somewhere
