I don’t mind it, but also don't find it to be the brilliant masterpiece other do.

Brother, you need to be checked for a TBI, brain tumor, early onset dementia...something. You're talking about a band liked by the tone-deaf, middle-aged housewives, and bad strippers (admittedly, one can belong to more than one group). The band is so bad Avril Lavigne acquired Lyme disease to escape that suckfest. They have the musical range of Green Day without the edgy lyrics and post-success sellout story. They are a garage band punching out of their weight class led by a guy too douchey to be in Florida-Georgia Line. They are the Joe Biden of music.
What I want to see done is to get that piece of crap band off of this forum. Don't just get it off of the forum, get it out of music, because I've proved, son, time and time again, that Nickelback ain't got what it takes! You sit there with your playlist, and you offer your videos, and it didn't get you anywhere. Talk about your music, talk about AWP 3:16 - AWP 3:16 SAYS NICKELBACK SUCKS TALIBAN DICK! All you gotta do is go listen to a real rock band and try to get back some of the pride you had in your prime. As the King of the Afghan Co-ops, I'm servin' notice to every one of you Nickelback fans. I don't give a damn who you are, you're all on the list, and that's AWP's list, and I'm fixin' to start runnin' through all of them. As far as your so-called rebuttal is concerned, son, I don't give a damn if it's @Blizzard or @Ooh-Rah. Nickelback's time has come, and when I get the shot, it's going down like Dallas in '63, and that's the bottom line because Amoral War Profiteer said so!

I just hope the meteoric influx of fame doesn't go off the rails. For a lot folks in that situation, it's not handled well.
Chiggity check yo' self before you wreck yo' self.
I stopped because I was tired of writing.
Straight outta' Bagram, making money from a Long War
Spendin' that cash, so I gotta' make more.
When I get paid, taxpayers bein' played

Making bank is not a problem
For tens of thousands sitting at Bagram

Soldiers whining 'bout, soldiers crying 'out

So I've listened to this song a bunch of times in the last 24 hours. For reasons I can't quite express, I have an emotional reaction to it in a way that I haven't had to a song in a long time, like since "You Found Me."
He should have added a .mil verse. I wrote one for him:
They think we're dumb, but this thing I know:
They send us to war, but they never go
Oh, they have their parades, and they shake your hand,
but that don't bring your boy back from Af-ghan-is-tan...
I guess vets don't vote, and they don't burn things down
So you can just ignore them, and their "small town"

I didn't know that's what it was called. Very nice. If I didn't already have five guitars I might pick one up just so I could do that song justice ;)

Truth be told, I looked it up. I am not a guitar guy (my son plays), but I saw it and thought it was unusual with a bit of an unusual sound, and liked it. But I like bluegrass and thought it would fit right in.
If I DID play a stringed instrument it would be the mandolin, because my last name is Mandelin.
I live just outside of West Point and we often host cadets. The rule at my house is, if it's your first night visiting the Mara house and you're a cadet, you have to play an instrument. This is an ice breaker thing, not a haze; zero judgment.
My wife has a grand piano and a good variety of basic percussion, wind, and stringed instruments. Worst case, a cadet can just play the tambourine or the egg shaker. What basically happens is that we put a song on the big screen and it turns into karaoke with live instruments.
Some of the cadets have MAD talent, especially on piano. One cadet we had over a couple of years back played the fiddle the way I imagine it when down in the "Devil Went Down to Georgia" story. But they are often too shy to bring it up, or to try it in public. We give the venue, and the compunction.
This Sunday we're going to see what @Topkick's son has got. ;)

Lol. Thats awesome. He's good at a lot of things, loves music, but I am not aware of any skills involving musical instruments.
