I thought Chad Croger (spelling?) had cut and dyed his hair when I heard one of their videos on the tv.

Their bass player has an identical sound to the Nickelback bass player which is odd because it's a reasonably unconventional sound. And they play bland garbage as far as I can hear too.

Just about every band you hear on the radio sounds like Nickelback, they all suck equally, who cares?

If anything nickelback should be beaten more savagely than the rest for 'creating' this sound.

Heh, you have to understand, Nickelback now has an entourage of other bands with similar sounds that they have helped to get signed. Default, Theory of A Deadman, and Rake have all been helped out a lot by Nickelback. Chad Kroeger co-wrote some of the songs on Default's album, probably the same story on ToaD (lol, nice acronym). At the very least, he probably has producer or executive producer credits on all of those band's albums.

So, there is a pretty valid reason as to why those bands all sound similar

There, that pretty much explains it away. Not only did Kroeger co-produce their album, they are also signed to his label etc etc.

1 year from now the spawn of Nickelback rock will peak - the airwaves and MTV will be saturated with the cliche drum roll into the distorted liquid power chords. The Eddie Veder voice will be perfected through pro-tools, and the age of the conflict of the profits will begin as the lead singers from these bands argue over who has the biggest Jesus Syndrome - Creed will make a music video defeating them all. The false profits will fade into oblivion as it becomes untrendy to listen to.

2 years from now only Default and Nickleback will remain. Default's next release will be an almost exact copy of their first release - critics will praise its brilliance, the fans will celebrate its originality. Nickelback, in an attempt to claim back its throne, will release only an album of the lead singer's voice, and the occasional power chord. Nickleback's lead singer will come to controversy as he creates a music video for their hit song "The Risen" by singing it crucified, with tears of blood and pain dripping down his face. The song will be metaphorical to the pain of the same girl who has broken his heart in every song he's written.

3 year - In an attempt to expand their musical talents, Default will release a surpsingly good album. Critics will shun it, and the fans won't buy it. They will be overwhelmed by the new trend of Jazz-Punk. The album will tank, and the lead singer will depart believing himself to be too good for the band. Nickleback's lead singer will also leave his band as they have become uncooperative in the sound he has worked so hard to achieve. He will take within Default's singer, Theory of a Deadman, Creed's lead singer, and every other male lead singer on his label and create the vocal sensation "With arms wide open, I rock for you." A chorus of garage grunge vocals singing bible hymns, metaphorical to the same girl they've all broken up with of course.

4 years from now - Nickleback will release its greatest hits album (with 9 out of 10 songs off their first album) and re-unite to tour the U.S. Both the album and the tour tank, no one to listen, no one who comes. The record label will then collapse, causing the legion of clone bands to collapse - the end of an era.. both gone, and forgotten. Jazz-Punk approaches its peak as Chris Cornell of Audioslave joins with Blink 182's guitarist, and Good Charlottes bass player to ride the wave of Jazz Punk. It's a smashing success, and soon after Chris Cornell starts his own record label.....
