Holy shit, why would you change it to a guitar? It completely fucks the song up. Even when you aren't awkwardly changing shit like "rosined up his bow" to "tuned his axe down low", the very fact that you have to clumsily pronounce it gee-tar to try and match the rhythm of fiddle should tell you this is a bad idea. And then there's the tryhard swear words thrown in.

And hooooly fuck, it took me to the end of the song to realize it, but they also cut out the chorus. What in the fuck?

Nickelback saw Wes Scantlins disaster of About a Girl and said

"Hold my Canadian Beer Eh"

Not really Nickelback didn't do as bad of a job but it still isn't right.

This did lead me to discover that Korn also did a cover recently.

I think it's also bad, but at least I can honestly say that it might just not be to my taste.

That was horrible.

However in both this song and the real version the devil clearly won.

Holy shit they have 17K likes to 2K dislike. How are these people who love Nickelback.

Nickelback actually gets way less hate - and has way more fans/defenders - on the internet these days. I guess they have nostalgic pull with Gen Z or something?

The music was thud-like.

Charlie Daniels died last month, so that's probably why.

Probably helps that 90% of modern music is about on the level of Nickelback, except at least Nickelback had one decent song (all of their songs).

The video's not even that good. The way it would zoom in on the characters just waving their hands up and down the strings is some Newgrounds shit. The Primus video managed to have a much better style and smoother animation, and it came out more than 20 years ago.

IT wasn't that awful. But I wouldn't go out of my way to look it up again.

It could have been worse. 5 Finger Death Punch could have covered it and made it all about Las Vegas

It's more that we don't hear them all the time. Lots of bands suck, some more than Nickelback, but as long as I don't have to listen to them they can make music for their fans all they like. Yeah, this be version of the song is hot garbage. I listened to the beginning out of morbid curiosity and now I'll (hopefully) never hear it again. I didn't even bother hitting the thumbs down button because as long as I'm not hearing "LoOk aT ThIs PH0T0GRAAAPH" every time I walk into Walgreens, I don't really care about Nickelback.
