i have been saying this for months. my sister plays it all the time, and it's one of the few songs that actually makes me want to claw my ears off :(
there was a full page article in last week's guardian guide dedicated solely to how awful this song is, which i enjoyed greatly.

If you want a cheesy bombastic pop grunge song called Rock Star this is the one you want

OH YES. You know the Nickelback song is bad when it makes Everclear look good.

I can't stand the lyrics. Its as if he is taking the piss out of us little people - people with no money, as if we would sell our souls to become anorexic junkie hooker rockstars with wads of cash. Now I wouldn't mind the money I'm just not hot on the rest of the lifestyle whether the song is satirical or not - I just want to state that I am NOT that sort of person even in my dreams.

Strangely enough I e-mailed a friend yesterday to vent my anger at this song.
I fucking cannot stand nickelback.

Nothing can beat Hey There Delilah for worst ever song.

best line

and there were three little girls variously aged between about 6 and 8 all singing it...it was a low point

... Wouldn't we all love to hire eight bodyguards who love to beat up assholes?

Hmm.... maybe not. You're right - worst song ever!

"I dont mind Silver Side Up but jesus."

"I'll even cut my hair and change my name", like changing your name is someone on par with getting a haircut.

Yes it's terrible, move on, never listen to it again.

Other than the fact that it is boring pap, Chad Kroeger's voice makes me want to kill every living organism ever.

But the worst thing is that he is attempting to satirise the modern lust for fame when every song they have ever produced is a cynical piece of middle-America pleasing, brainwashing sub-anything-remotely-decent nonsense.

This man has featured on Cribs, lest we forget.

a postmodern stab at chad's troubled life. musically its on par with anything released in the last 10 years and lyrically its tragicomically beautiful
plus the video is hot shit.
brings a tear to my eye

not

that it was the worst song ever, but it is piss-poor and I can't understand why anyone would like it.

Worse than Limp Bizkit and Korn's "All In the Family"? (A song so bad it makes me wish man had never discovered the process of recording sound?). Worse than some BNP-inspired white power rock ballad? Worse than Gemini's entry to the Eurovision song contest a couple of years back?

No. It's not that bad. It's shit, I'll grant you. But it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, the worst song ever.
