They were great. They just hand the multi personality disorder when it came to any band. They tried country, then they did mostly loud rock, now they’re trying to be an intense metal band. It just doesn’t work like that, so obviously people started clowning on them, and made them out to be extreme posers in any genre. Not that their music is bad at all, it’s just the feel and nature is too messed up. That’s just my personal idea

If this dude had just swallowed the rest of his dignity and sang these tunes with a twang, Nickelback would still in 2023 be in regular circulation on country radio and he’d have $500 million instead of $100 million.
Chad is a great songwriter. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just filled with envy!

"...could have been..." Nickelback is 100% country/rock, and I cannot be convinced otherwise.
He said “heavy” chorus 😂😂😂👍
I'll say it, Nickelback is objectively good. They're not my favorite, or even my taste of music, but I love some of their songs. Very talented group.
I completely agree with this. I live in East TN and the crossover between country fans/Nickelback fans is real.
