I have to disagree. But that's probably cause she looks like my sister.
I'll resist the urge to make lewd comments about your sister, because I find you so damn sexy.

As long as they don't give a shit I am in. Very good point. I forgot I have been trying to make that point about Sirens all week.
Was this apparent "rivalry" between Pearl Jam and NickelCreed ever actually a real thing? Or is it just some fan-made mythology?
Rivalry? They're just shitty music, harm.
Well yeah. I just mean, do PJ actually acknowledge them as a shitty version of Pearl Jam? Or don't they care? If they don't care, it might be quite plausible that they'd actually write a song that sounded similar, because you know, at one point they sounded fairly similar.

I remember the day in 2000 when Creed was on The End 107.7 in Seattle. Their bass player said some shit about Pearl Jam. Creed was never played again on the air again.

These are three arena rockbands with baritone vocalists, that is about all they have in common. I am not a fan of Nickleback, but they get some respect from me. Creed not so much.

I don't think Chad Croaker has a baritone voice. It's more of a cheese-grater/old-man-dying kinda voice.

Remember when Eddie and Chad danced with each other to "With Arms Wide Open" live on TV? I think that started it.

Sometimes when he finds himself sitting around a campfire, Ed thinks "Yeah...Chad would have liked this. Chad would have liked this."
