Can’t we all just get along? Rolling Stone talks to Hinder, a band we never even fucking heard of. Apparently, they’re on tour with Nickelback and Hoobastank.

You seem to really have your biggest following in the middle of the country. Is that something you?d agree with?
Austin Winkler: I would definitely agree as far as NY and LA with some of that artsy bullshit like OK GO, bands like that. I think they?re a bunch of fairies. I mean, they got on MTV , the VMA awards and they got on there and danced like a broadway show. That?s not fucking rock ?n roll, that?s not rock ?n roll at all.

We get what you mean about OK Go and some of the bands that really are popular on the coasts, but what do you think it is about you guys that appeals to people?
AW: We have good songs, I would say. Their songs suck, I mean what the fuck? They sold 4,000 albums a week and then that treadmill fairy shit comes on the fucking TV and they only sold 4,000 more records a week because the song sucks.

Do you guys know them? You seem to have a real specific fixation with them, have you met them or anything?
Cody Hanson: No, it?s just seeing their fucking stupid-ass faces on the T.V. all the time, it pisses me the fuck off.

Are there any other bands that you look at and are like why are they famous, besides them?
CH: I?ll tell you, the worst band of all time in my book is Thursday.
AW: I thought he had a good voice, dude, what are you talking about.
CH: That dude has got to be the worst singer I have ever heard in my entire fucking life, man. He is terrible.

Keeping tabs on OK Go’s post-VMA record sales … so rock ‘n roll.

Can we get Danny North Side Kings to just beat the shit out of everyone?

    hey stereogummers did you ever figure out what message board all the hinder fans are coming from and could you please block them

    ‘Lips of an Angel’ makes me want to punch people in the testicles enough ALREADY. Thanks for fueling my disgust, Hinder! :D

    I officially have the change the name of the douchiness band ever known “nickelcreedstank” to “hinder”

    I live in the midwest and If I hear another confused, parent-hating, rednecktard teen’s phone ringing with the “Lips of an Angel” I am going to start a all day punchfest of people walking out of hot topic…. Thats right, hearing lips of an angel make me wanna punch teenagers.

    Well good job at making yourselves look even worse than you already did Hinder, if that was even possible. Honestly, OK Go is so so so much better than Hinder it offends me to even read their names in the same sentence. Hey hinder, why don’t you pick on someone your own size, or level of talent, like K Fed? I didn’t know having a shitty one hit wonder gave you the right to pick on bands with actual talent. Nice ego. No one will know who you are by next year, not that anyone does now either… People always attack things/people that they are jealus of, as proven here. I hope all three of your fans read this and see that not only does your music suck, but your attitude and personality as well.

    Oh HELL no.

    OK Go is OK God. They’re so great and smart and fun! Who fucking cares about Hinder anyway? I still haven’t heard of them! I want to smash their faces in now!

  7. Advice for Hinder: shut the hell up. Now.
    Advice for VH1 and radio stations across the country: stop buying into this BS and start playing some real music.

    Enough said

    Yeah, I’m not gonna try to be witty or anything, but I’m just going to point out that Hinder is honestly one of the worst bands I’ve ever listened to, and to top it off, they’re not even nice people. I watched that interview, and I was just sort ashamed to share a country with them.

  9. Shawn  |   Posted on Jan 31st, 2007

    That makes me wanna punch Hinder in the balls. Oh wait, they dont have balls cuz they play sissy radio rock for preteen girls.

  10. Lakyn  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    FIRST OF ALL, who attacks fucking Okgo? theyre good and nice guys and their video isnt NEARLY as annoying as hinder’s lips of an angel bullshit. im a chick and id love to kick hinder’s ass right about now, and going by their pussy videos i bet i could win.

    i really dont know if ive ever had as much hate for a band as hinder, and this was BEFORE they attacked okgo, a harmless band that is actually somewhat GOOD, unlike hinder, who probably have the most obnoxious melodies to have unfortunately reached my ear. and the lyrics are stupid and dont make sense, they CONTRADICT themselves in their songs so much, its fucking sad. the lips of an angel video is enough to make me hate them more than any other band EVER. what kind of pussy band has a video like that? seriously??

    it must be a hard life knowing you suck more than nickelback. then again, i guess they dont actually KNOW this. someone be a sport and clue them in, eh?

  11. Caitlin  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    HAHAHA!

    Artsy shit? At least Ok Go are doing something diffrent. They are more creative and original.

    Hinder sounds exactly like too many other bands. Yet, Austin is quick to critisize them.

    Fucking Pathetic. Grow the fuck up you loser. You’re a 26 year old male, not a fucking 13 year old bitchy high school whore.

  12. steven  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    Hinder in my opinion are terrible.And i’m a Nickelback fan.Hinder are not in the slightest bit like Nickelback.

    Hinder are pricks and there songs are just plain annoying.Whereas Nickelback are great guys in real life and them donating 100% of there profits of there latest single to charity proves that.

    Hinder where right when they said OK GO aren’t rock but its ashame they aren’t either.

  13. Becky  |   Posted on Feb 28th, 2007

    I’ve heard of Hinder before, and I live really close to L.A. They aren’t that great, very southern rock. However, they have some good songs. I don’t like shit-talking bands, I have no respect for them anymore.

    OKGO is sick. I love their dancing. Mr. Hinder is probably just some white-trash homophobe..

  14. besteffinfanevr  |   Posted on Mar 1st, 2007

    bryan i have to correct you any body period hates ok go the only people who like them are wanna be gangstas

  15. Liam  |   Posted on Mar 12th, 2007

    Douche Bag Alert. I havent heard of Ok-go but almost all bands(exluding rap, which isnt even music) are better than Hinder. Hoobastank, Nickleback,Hinder. Wow what a line-up. Hinder is only like a shit- Nickleback, which you would think it would be impossible to be worse than nickleback but apperantly these ass-wipes did it. They are very talented in the fact they managed to be the only bamd worse than nickleback

  16. I can’t tolerate the lyrics of ‘lips of an angel’. It’s fucking stupid. A bitch called her ex bf when she had problem and a pussy guy saying oh I’m so weak after hearing your voice. Hinder they can go fuck themselves now.

  17. OMFG Hinder sucks ass. Ok Go is kickass. However, I don’t agree with the fact that Hoobastank sucks, they are awesome. Nickleback is so-so, I don’t listen to them a ton but Hinder can kiss my ass.

    Hinder is probably one of the worst bands I have ever heard. I can’t believe they think they’re bringing back rock and roll just because they fucking write songs about chicks, and getting high. My ex girlfriend would make me listen to their music, and almost EVERY single one of their songs has to do with a girl leaving them or drugs. The singer sounds like he’s got a hairball in his throat. If anyone actually listens to Ok Go’s albums, they’re awesome. They aren’t famous because of their dancing, but because of their songs. Their lyrics are far more creative than HINDER. Download the song Don’t Ask Me, Get Over It, or Bye Bye Baby. ….They actually dissed Thursday? Thursday is one of the most inspirational bands out there today. They believe music should be free, and come from the heart, and be about true things. They put so much energy and passion into every single song they write and perform. Geoff is one of the most creative lyricists today. They have loyal fans, and their attachment to them is amazing. The energy at their shows is so intense. The crowd is always involved. They don’t do it for the money, and music isn’t about money, drugs, and chicks. Music is about making a difference, inspiring people, giving people of all race, color, size, age, weight, and whatever else that feeling in their stomach. Those goosebumps you get when listening to your favorite songs. See I’m a mucisian…I play bass. If I can make one kid in the crowd, look up at me and say “Fuck..that’s what I want to do” then I’ll be happy. That’s what music is really about. Hinder, I am asking you nicely to stop making music. Please for the sake of all the good music out there, just stop ruining real meaningful music. You put a bad name to music, you put a bad name to lyrics, and you shame what music is really about. Please, stop making music…if you even write your own material. You aren’t even on the same level as a band like Thursday. THEY EARNED THEIR SPOT in the music world. They started off playing basement shows, living in their van, touring and playing without rest. Even when they’re not touring they do free shows in their hometown. They go through all of this and earned thir spot, while you, you bastards get treated like kings. You sit in huge hotels and drink the night away, doing coke and banging hookers. You probably wrote one song, and a scout said “HEY WE CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF THEM!” and you signed. With the soul purpose of earning money, and getting famous. You guys are a pathetic excuse for a band, and a waste of space. Don’t you ever compare yourselves to Thursday. That’s it, I’m done for now.

    i heard a song by hinder, which by the way ive never heard of and the song rocked! i want to know more about them!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Serena  |   Posted on May 18th, 2007

    Well, I guess I’m a “ignorant redneck” since I live in the middle of the country. Personally, I was not impressed by the treadmill thing and I didn’t even know who they were except by “the stupid treadmill video” Really, for those who knock Hinder, they are a good band, the sing well and play well, their songs are about stuff that you understand if you have actually lived life as an adult. Not that I agree with them openly attacking another band, but everyone is intitled to their own opinion. Just thougt I had to stick for the other”ignorant rednecks” like me. Thanks alot jzb.

    Okay…now wtf who’d hinder tour with nickelback i mean come on they have the same fuckn voice …Anywhoo on a other note… the ”fairies” as Hinder calls them are a freaking breath of fresh are from all the bullshit out there i.e Hinder at least the fairies dont freaking write songs about dying of a fucking an O.D Gee’s Louise what kind of song of that sure it’s touching but goshh aren’t they’re enough emo bands out there … so my point of view is … Ok Go continue being fairies cause i like ‘em and Hinder well why don’t u do like ur video and die of an overdose … Alison from Canada

    “Are any of you dunderheads posting comments bashing hinder actually musicians?
    I play four instruments, and I’m currently studying about five different genres of music in depth. You guys need to cool your asses down.
    By the way, Nickelback and Hoobastank own you all.
    They’re better at being musicians than anyone on here. (Yes, even me.)
    When you can play the solo from Nickelback’s version of “Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)” Verbatim, not missing a beat, just like it sounds, then you can complain.
    You’re all just a bunch of immature morons looking for somebody to hate on.
    F*** off, and then get a life. Losers.
    OK GO and Hinder are both good bands, and, don’t start dissing Nickelback or Hoobastank. You can diss them when you’re making more money than they are. They’re plenty successful. If they’re a bunch of famous musicians, then they’ve gotta be doing something right.”

    Okay, well I’m a musician… And here it comes…

    Hinder sucks.
    Fame isn’t a measure of quality of music.
    The solo on the Nicleback song you’re talking about probably sounds like it does because of the talented men with the expensive sound equipment they use to edit music for your listening pleasure.
    If you can read, you can realize that Hinder is in fact the people who should shut their freaking mouths… Fairies? They just ruined a golden opportunity to promote their “band” by calling another band a bunch of fairies for dancing on treadmills.

    But sure, Hinder rocks. Who can argue with a bunch of power chords and lyrics such as “I really miss your hair in my face.” Has a poetic ring to it, doesn’t it? I’m sure that whenever you break up with your girlfriends, the first thing you do is lay in bed all night, thinking, “God, why’d she have to break up with me… I want her hair in my face again.”

    Please.
