On the rare occasions that I actually notice a Nickelback song playing — you know, like, "what is that mediocre rumbling sound? Oh, it's Nickelback" — I'm struck by how utterly indistinguishable one hit is from the next. (Who, exactly, are the fans fueling these hits? I have no idea, but that's a perplexing matter for another day.)
Anyway, there's a good reason I can't tell Nickelback's songs apart. The geniuses over at The Webshite have posted two of the band's big hits — 2001's "How You Remind Me" and "Someday" off 2003's The Long Road — so that one song plays through the right speaker and the other through the left. Normally, it would be irritating to have two different songs playing in my headphones, except, well, these aren't really two different songs. Listen at your own risk.

ugh, i also cannot stand this "band". they are so manufactured its offensive.
1Nickelback- what a joke. I am glad that you have uncovered them for what they really are, Buzz!
2People listen to Nickelback?
3WOW--I had no clue people disliked them so much. I really like their music.
4this is hilarious!
5I've heard this before, so its no surprise to me. They get a lot of airplay here, home country and all. I have to admit, I sing along sometimes in the car.
I'm not a fan, but not a hater, lol. They are too insignificant to warrent my hate.

7I like Leader of Men, especially the acoustic version.

8"All my life, I wanted to be someone, I guess I should have been more specific." Jane Wagner
I have hated them since day one. I knew all their songs sounded similar but that is uncanny. They have the SAME drum beats everything! They slow down at the exact same time. Its amazing how dumb people are sometimes... scratch that... people are dumb all the time.
9There's something to be said about manufacturing what the masses will like. I just wish they didn't have to use music as a medium for consumerism.

Wow, well isn't that nice.
On that note, I'm out of here.

Always hated these guys. Now I have proof!! *evil Laugh* My friends never believed me!!
12I like Nickelback, they're sing'a'long able. But, you can totally hear the similarity, "how you remind me" is only two beats up tempo compared to "someday".
13This is absolutely HILARIOUS. I mean, seriously.
I hate Nickelback with the fire of a thousand suns. They are quite possibly the worst band in the history of music.
14i am so glad i'm not alone in hating nickleback! i thought i was because they're all over the radio. seriously people : they are so manufactured! where's the creativity and passion for rock music we used to have in the 60's, 70's, even 80's? i'll take a creative hair metal band over freakin' nickleback anyday. thanks for making my day, buzz!
15Who Really Cares? They are Awesome Live. Seems Like People Just
16want to Hate.
Cairo I TOTALLY agree. WHY DO PEOPLE HATE THEM SO MUCH???
17Who Knows Loren, Nothing else better to do?LOL!
18They Truly are Awsome Live! If You ever get a chance to see
them, go You will Love It!
i never knew people hated them so much...i just thought so much of today's music is manufactured variety that they weren't any worse/different. catchy songs!
19I don't hate them, I have some of their music, but it's true that 90% of their songs sound just alike. I went to my volume control panel and was switching between speakers and it was crazy how similar they are.
20Well, I hate them.
21I always suspected that all their music was the same, but now I have confirmation!
I read that at some point if you typed the words "worst band" into google, you would get hundreds of I hate Nickelback sites.
Old story.
Its a known fact that this is bogus.Although both songs have similarities sperately.
The combination here,has been edited to fit perfectly together.Both songs are awesome.
This is a cheap trick made by a loser.
Similar , YES. But identical like this file suggests , NO.
22I guess i am one of the few that like them. But i like there older stuff better.
23An awesome band that are being buried by worthless critics.
This being a perfect example.Digging up an old story to ctiticise the band because they have nothing else to moan about.
24dennycrane, I couldn't agree with you more! Thank You for clearing up the facts! Why Spread these Bogus Stories!
25Jealousy Makes People do Strange things!
People really enjoy Hating & Trying to Break People!LOL
26They Are an Awsome band!
dennycrane, it is a "known fact that this is bogus"? Really? Where is this "fact" proven? and just because you have an opinion different than buzz's doesn't make buzz "worthless critics," just FYI. the songs are pretty much identical, and maybe some people enjoy bands that create new and interesting songs. nothing worthless about that, I don't think.
27I'm also pretty sure nobody's trying to "break" Nickelback.
I love Nickelback. While there are much beter bands/groups and singers out there then them, but there are also a lot much worse bands and singers out there.
28the guy who created this admitted he tweaked the songs to fit.FACT.
and why do i , damn this site (even though there are others).well as i said (BEFORE) this story arise nearly 4 years ago and people keep reposting this bogus story because they have nothing else to throw at the band.
but the haters who obsessibly criticise nickelback will be happy to know nickelbacks new album is not long off.
I'm sure they'll concoct something else to try and stab in the back of an awesome band.
29Too Right Denny, There will always be Haters You are Jealous of
30this Great Band's Success! But They will Triumph as they always do,The Fan's know they are Awesome!
That's hilarious!
Man, this band sure does suck.
31Yeah JennaV
You further our point.
Another hater with a pointless and meaningless statement.
How Predictable.
32They are not the best band around.
33The band should just release the two as a new song called "Remind Me Someday".
34They have some good songs.
35I strongly dislike this sham of a band because their songs seem so manufactured to fit whatever they think is popular instead of being true artists. Plus, if you actually read the lyrics to the words, the are just not good.
36Well...it's funny to read all these comments. All the bashers post their blogs, and then go and put on a hip hop or rap album and think it's pure genius. What a laugh. Talk about sounding the same. And they cant even play an instrument. Whoa...lots of talent there! But then again...society will always have the jealous idiots that cant whistle dixie and think they are a music critic. Just go away...PLEASE.
