@nickelback just dropped #sanquentin
Here is my #reaction to the new #nickelback song
I feel like people hate Nickelback only because of memes. They dont make bad music, people just wanna fit it and ride the hate train
I mean.... if they didn't suck the memes would have never blown up. people would have came across a nickleback sucks meme, shrugged, and kept scrolling because they knew its just some bs trolling. the only reason the memes blew up in the first place is a classic case of "its funny cuz its true".
Nah man. It’s radio rock. it’s “frat metal” at its finest. It’s fucking awful.
This song fuckin sucks
I deflect that comment with bad taste in music
@@misanthropic_anthropoid_6660 well, you don't know music
I have to say: I went to a Nickelback concert a few years back for my wife. I was extremely pleasantly surprised. They did some metal covers during their show and they absolutely nailed them. Much respect.
They do put on a great show.
Their covers are actually very good. They're making money, that's all.
I sore them many yrs ago and I got to agree they did nail it live and they did sad but true which they did a decent job of.respect needed because they have done some pretty good sounds
Playing covers is for when you are in high school tho. Shouldn't be needed for a full grown band.
It mostly come down to gigachad being an hateable guy lmao
For a band that gets so much hate they sold millions of albums. I've seen them 2x live and they were 🔥. I'll bet if a Nickelback song came on in the bar everyone would know every word
Exactly. People like being argumentative for the sake of it.
@@dillowman8 Nope, we just have a fuctioning brain that's able to tell when a song is corporate and lazy :D
Nikki Minaj sold millions, doesn't exactly translate to praise...
@@Abridgimation to compare Nickelback to Nicki Minaj is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. You sure your brain is actually functioning? It may need a jumpstart after that remark
They did a song in memory of dimebag Darrell called 'side of a bullet', it was more metal and had a killer groove and story to it. Check it out.
I just said something similar! Side of a Bullet is out of this world!
Dimebag is on the track Side of a Bullet. Dime and Vinnie were friends with Chad and Mike Kroger.
"Fight For All The Wrong Reasons" is another amazing song by Nickelback from the same album, the guitar tone is amazing.
I had no idea that song had anything to do with Dimebag.
"Never again" brings it pretty hard too.
Nickel back is the band everyone listens to in the car by yourself but never tell anyone about.
Nope. Why would I want to listen to generic songs?
No lol
If his metalhead mate wasnt sittin next to him Alex wouldve given us his usual "broooo that was dope" review 🤣
Alex,for a Metallica fan,you should know what San Quentin is. The song St Anger was filmed at San Quentin State Prison.
As a Metallica fan, I really like this song😎🤘🏻
God I’m over the hate for this band that almost no one actually listens to them. They were cool on college radio. Then they were cool when they broke out. Then they wrote two songs that broke over in the main stream and Comedy Central made fun of them one day and suddenly the entire world decided that Nickelback sucked. And I’m getting really tired of people criticizing them for the song not being heavy enough. They never said it was. Nobody said it was. They just put out a new song. Why do the gatekeepers have to act so much smarter than everyone. They sell out arenas.
Thank you… for a band that “sucks”, they are approaching 60 million records and sell out all of their tours. So, suck it, haters 🤟🏼
Completely agree
People hate on them mainly because the music is very bland. That's cool if they are your thing but you've got to admit that this song along with many of theirs are very by the numbers and bland
I don't care if they're "heavy" or not, it's just that they literally started the first ten seconds of the song in an eniterly different tone just to lure in metal fans, only to throw it all out the window for the entire rest of the track in favour of the exact same stupid trash they're already known for. It's a pathetic bait-and-switch tactic.
Well, for me they just aren't a great band. They're technically each good players and Kroeger can sing his ass off but what he writes over half the time is pure shit. I like a few of their songs, I won't lie, but will I ever buy a Nickelback album? That's a hard no.
Hi, your friend wasn't reacting to the song, he had his opinion before listening, so nothing could change that. i just want you to know not every song needs to be deep or something new, sometimes bands make tracks that just sound as a party song and i am one of the harshest critics of the band, because i am a fan of them and i always want them not to say evolve but to reach higher grounds than before. This band can make any type of song and this one is one of those bangers to rock on, nothing new but still something refreshing to hear, especially in the declining rock genre as we all just wanna hear some guitars on the radio!
I got the same impression. Friend Alex's mind was made up before the song was started. In fact it seemed like he didnt even wanna be here/in the video. Shame.
THIS
I was willing to give this a shot because by the title it sounded like they may have been deciding to go through a sound/genre shift, and I didn't think it was half bad right up until the tambourine came in and then everything after that felt so generic, safe, forgettable, and poorly put together. Not to say these guys aren't talented, but they're definitely not creative.
it's true that his friends was already biased ......but when it comes to the song itself , he wasn't exactly wrong . It ain't the worst thing ever like he makes he sounds , but it is a compilation of cringy tropes , with awful lyrics that are hard to ignore
@@danatmonst3594 Yeah, the dude shouldn't be in any of these vids. No vibe whatsoever and was a bit annoying tbh lol. I don't like the song at all either but he just wasn't saying anything even remotely worth listening to. Bet Alex regretted bringing him on this vid lol.
Side of a Bullet is one of their heaviest songs that ive heard and very good..ROCKS
What a miserable life your friend must lead if he needs to analyse and pull apart every song he knows he’s already going to hate because it’s fashionable.
I personally love this song, the lyric may not be Shakespearean but it’s a great tune that gets the head nodding.
❤
i don’t hate nickelback but this song is ass. cheesy af…imo
It sounds just like their old albums....this is not metal.
This song is so fake. 🤮
The head nodding because it's cringe
Not even close to being Nickelbacks most metal song. Feed the Machine, Flat on the floor, Animals, SEX (mostly the breakdown/solo). Those are bangers!
“SEX” and “This Means war” are some of their heaviest breakdowns, the riffs in the song “feed the machine” get pretty heavy
I’d like to add in “The Betrayal (Act III)” and “Side Of A Bullet” to that realm of heavy bangers as well🔥
Side of a Bullet which has Dimebag in it.. one of their heaviest and best songs
@@TrXmXtic Side of a Bullet is my favorite NB song.
Side of a bullet is their best imo
This one hurt me honestly. I love the song and I personally don't think Nickelback deserves the hate. I respect your opinion and right to dislike what you don't like though
Hurt me as well……hurt my ears! Pure trash.
@@CinoXL you're allowed your opinion
everyone has an opinion I'm glad it sounds back to their roots. ppl forget this is a Single not the B side. where they get Heavy if u wanna look. guy on the right is just mad that the nickel is back😂
@@CinoXL Hurr Durr hating on nickelback is soooo KEWL look at me guys!
NippleSmack
Nickelback is so underrated. They have so many good songs
They arent underrated. Just hated for no reason...
They were digging it.😀
@@shamwow4582 Photograph, Rockstar, Something In Your Mouth, Animals, Next Contestant... Yeah dude, no reason, clearly...
i just counted i have 18 nickel back songs on my playlist lol
Def not this one
Love NickelBack 🖤🖤🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 keep em coming 🔥🔥🔥
Always loved Nickelback idgaf
It seemed like Alex actually liked it but was scared to express it because of his friend hating it… lol
FWIW - Obviously Nickleback gets a lot of hate for many reasons - some valid, some not so valid.
If they aren't your thing; that's cool, you're entitled to enjoy /listen to what you like.
A few years ago, there was a charitable organization ( sorry don't remember the specific organization) that chose Nickelback as a promotional partner for an event.
The organization got put on blast and faced heavy criticism for choosing them.
In response to the criticism their response was "We chose them because they understood our mission as an organization and they were all in and understood how to spread the message to their fan base."
In the end, the band supported the charity and spread the word.
So, regardless if you like their music or not, they used their platform and their fans for a good cause.
That's all - internet trolls need not apply.
Have a dope ass day and don't let anybody throw shade at you.
My opinion is Nickleback is a amazing band. They've made all kinds of great songs that people still rock to. Happy and depressed. But same time, if you've been bashed for so long to where you start giving up and losing the vibe, its common to lose the feel for it due to several people's criticism. But, I don't see the same things everyone else sees so I just give my opinion and people may take it for what it's worth or give their own. The song could have been better I agree completely though.
Amazing ? eh. great live shows but eh, not really versatile when it comes to music. This song sounds like everything from their first album to I wanna be a rockstar …
I definitely prefer when you do reactions alone. It felt like you were scared to like this because he was such a hater. I’ve seen Nickelback in concert and they’re great! They’re awesome showmen too and absolutely hilarious! They know they’re a meme and they’re laughing all the way to the bank. Lol
But the song was trash....
@@xxjsavagexx That’s just your opinion though. 🤷🏻♀️
@@farrellanne90 ooooo real creative response there, almost as creative as this song.
@@xxjsavagexx 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh bless your heart.
@@farrellanne90 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh bless your ears if you like this garbage
There’s some Alt metal in there but it’s mostly hard rock, just your standard Nickelback song, I love Nickelback they have some bangers
Yep I agree it something u can jam to
Definitely more on the side of hard rock. Very generic writing overall.
@@dmphax I felt the same way. To me it sounds like their song SEX off their Dark Horse album...and nothing else.
I’ve seen them recently and was front row and hands down best concert I’ve ever been too. They sound exactly like the radio live. They put on a good show… more entertaining than some UA-cam channel who doesn’t know the difference between rock and metal 🤬
For someone who thinks it's bad your sure bouncing your head. I think the song was good and glad to hear new rock music.
I think he did like it but was afraid to show his own opinion because of the guy next to him.. because he keeps looking at him when he "gets excited"
@@A.E2000 exactly. if glasses dude likes it then he should like it but the right guy was right, song sucked
Sounds less metal and more hard rock, which is typically what nickleback is. Need more hard rock in general these days though, it's kinda getting forgotten it seems. I recently found a band called Dynazty, whose first 2 albums are pure hard rock, then they changed to a more melodic metal sound, both good but they were good as hard rock. Also for your friend, he's your typical nickleback 'hater', well, 'disliker'. Once they've made up their mind of disliking a band, especially the band wagon of hating on nickelback, then they'll never like anything that band releases. So yeah, probably a bad choice of person to do a reaction to.
In attempt to be as objective as possible, I think the production on this song is very good. However, it sounds very contrived, like the band decided to write something they thought would be 'cool' and 'heavy'. The lyrics are also very cheesy. This is more like a throwaway bonus track or a b-side than the lead single from a forthcoming album.
Totally agree. The song's "fine" but it feels like something they slapped together....not their best work. I think they, and everyone else, would just better off if we all agreed they were hard rock and stopped trying to pretend they're a metal band. I've seen them live, they were fantastic.....but they're heavy rock not metal.
@@jameswbster I've personally never considered them a metal band, just a rock band with metal songs, like Linkin Park, Chevelle, Evanescence, and other alternative bands of their time period (1995-2006). But genre is irrelvant to whether a song is good or bad.
The bands I mentioned could be country, pop, hip-hop, metal, punk, whatever - as long as the music's got an authentic feel to it and is well-written, that's all I care about at the end of the day.
@@TheAlexheald Alternative meral is alternative metal. I'd have listened every band I know with alternative metal/nu metal albums if I could. Red, Godsmack, Skillet, Evanescence, Creed, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Three Days Grace, Chevelle - the band doesn't matter, alternative metal is alternative metal. I was being unbiased, and never said who is better, I was talking rock bands with alt-metal songs in general.
This is the sort of comment i like. You dont like the song but give actual reasons why and dont just say "Its crap". And you dont just trash talk it either. Great review.
Every Nickelback song since All The Right Reasons has felt contrived if we're being honest. I think they discounted all the songs on that album except Rockstar and were like, "This is what sells" and while they're right, it just makes for soulless drivel.
You need to react to the album "Dark Horse" the songs are similar to this new released! And it is actually a good rock album
I think this is standard Nickelback, and I like it. I don't think it's any harder than some of their other songs. That's what good about them, they got something for just about everyone, soft, medium, or hard.
I appreciate your reactions, but disagree totally on this. I'm actually a nickleback fan - I played drums professionally for 15 years and really enjoy Adair's drums. The guitar licks I really enjoy - I know Chad gets a lot of shit thrown at him, but I've met the guy a few times and really down to earth and good guy. Different strokes, different folks - I dont get the hate for them. I think they are a great rock band... /shrug.
I think it boils down to two considerations:
1) Chad has a reputation as a snob. He's taken shots at other acts (most famously Corey Taylor probably...) for like, no reason. He thinks he's the shit and lets everyone know it. (Everyone, even fellow musicians, say the rest of the band is cool though.)
2) It's corporate rock. Born in a boardroom, designed by a label to sell to the lowest common denominator, etc. I'm not saying the band doesn't write their own stuff, but what they do write is very very very simple, easy, never break out of 4/4 timing, keep the beat easy to follow, keep the lyrics repeatable and easy, etc.
It's a situation of, "there's nothing wrong with liking the music, but it's definitely not music for music lovers."
(Edit: And to be fair, this is mostly all to do with their radio play. There's plenty of Nickelback that no one's ever heard if they aren't specifically a fan that isn't the above.)
Sorry...it was horrific. The only moderately decent thing was the guitar riff...as basic as it was it was like a 3/10 on the catchy scale. Whereas every other part of this is irredeemable.
@@schwann145
1) Seeing that Chad Kroeger can laugh with all the hate and doesn't take himself so serious would indicate that he isn't a snob. The Corey Taylor feud started when Corey was caught lying on public media that Nickelback blew up due to the fact that the record company had used the Slipknot promotional budget to promote Nickelback. This was dissproven by their record company, Nickelback just became mainstream faster than Slipknot.
2) Sammy Hagar knows Chad Kroeger and when they talked (interview is somewhere on UA-cam) and there it was stated that Nickelback's songwriting starts with a riff or just 1 line of text and that they just jam to see where they end up with each song, so again the opposite of corporate rock.
3) The Nickelback hate bandwagon started here: ua-cam.com/video/GFC4OFWIPtw/v-deo.html
I think Nickelback gets a lot of unnecessary crap, but this is just another Nickelback song. There's nothing special about this at all. To use a Canadian term (for the band's sake) this song is very Pablum.
@@schwann145 Each their own, I'm definately a "Music Lover" and really enjoy NB.. we dont all have to like the same things, just seems like people like to hate on them specifically because its the "cool" thing to do.. /shrug
Damn, dude is such a hater. Nothing they do would ever please him.
That's because they fucking suck.
I hate the band but it's cool I guess
It’s literally a bad song lmao
Their music is pretty bland to me. I like to hear a new song here and there but it was never a band I could sit through an album with
Maybe because nickelback is really bad? The music overall is not that bad but the vocals are shit. Chad has no range what so ever.
Even though I've never been a big nickelback fan, I think this is an excellent song.
No
Love them or hate them they do put on a great live show.
It's a decent song, I'm pretty sure it's about when Chad got in trouble with drinking n driving. Also your buddy is a music snob,keep it solo.
Dude he's being honest it's trash
@@barrelchest86lopez38 That's like your opinion, man
It's actually about Chad meeting the warden of San Quentin at a party
Well, thank you for doing the reaction 😅 Sorry it didn't hit the way I thought it would for you.
I've always liked Nickelback and I'm really not ashamed to admit it. If that makes me vanilla, so be it, but I can literally sing along with every song in their entire catalogue.
As far as listening to Audioslave is concerned, hell yeah you should! Great road trip music from that band. And we all need more Chris Cornell in our lives.
Much love guys, thanks again for suffering through that for me 😂
Alex literally just Vibing and this dude just heated for no real reason😂
Song "Follow You Home" from the album "All the right reasons". One of my favorite Nickelback songs. Peace and love y'all 🤟
Hope you get back to dream theater. The glass prison is a pretty good prog “metal” song that I think you would love. Everyone slays that song from start to end. Would love to see your reaction to that one
seriously tho. I think he would love the entire train of thought album
Ughh glass prison slaps so hard!!!
Ooof, this song is a hard-hitter lmfao!!!
Panic attack is quite the piece too.
@@TheH8redd Great song, pretty relentless from start to finish! 🥵
I have never seen Nickelback live but i have listened to them since i was a child. This song rocked! 😁
Damn how your guest slammed the song, not really enjoying his "energy" 😂
Seems like he tries too hard to be "cool"😆
since you were a child... last year?
@@mos8541 trying to be cool aswell? Nah iam getting old, soon in my 30s 😅
I've been to A LOT of concerts over the years, including Tina Turner in 1985. NickleBack was, bar none, the best concert I've ever been to.
Maybe he appreciates different things to you...
It actually sounds exactly like an old nickelback song. Somewhere along the lines of "something in your mouth". It's something I wouldn't mind playing in the background in a bar, but definitely not a masterpiece. And not metal either.
just because the internet says not to like them doesn't mean you don't have. Social contagion
Personally for me Nickelback was a band that was played everywhere. I did like and own one album but it just got to the point that I heard them so often everywhere i quit listening to them.
If you want a quite heavy “metal” Nickelback song I’d suggest The Betrayal Act III, that song goes hard!
I’ve been telling people this since that song came out. It goes hard af.
I've been watching a few of your Alice in Chains reaction videos and I'm right there with you dude. Layne Staley is one of my favorites of all time in regards to singers. It would be cool to see you react to a Mad Season song. It's a band Layne Staley was in for a short while in the mid 90's. There are a few good quality live performances posted on UA-cam. Artificial Red is one of my favorite songs from Mad Seasons only album. Lifeless Dead is a killer song too.
Dude, Alex, what's wrong with y'all? I was with Alex #2, in that Nickleback Hate has become a meme, but this song was pretty damn good., kinda sounded like Five Finger Death Punch meets Trivium. The vocals fit the music perfectly. I don't any idea what he normally sounds like, but this was cool.
Cheesy, but better than I expected tbh. The bass is really nice and heavy.
The beginning feels like they're trying to sound like OG avenged sevenfold.
what songs have you two released lately? But it would sound better than this right?
Alex, your friend Alex’s brutal honesty is well appreciated. I really can’t get into this song. Maybe their next song will be better but I’m not holding my breath.
Still think you should fo more Shinedown. Especially their old stuff. AMAZING.
I mean people jokes on them, but their 2 last album was really good. No Fixed Address and Feed The Machine are really good. Can't wait for their next album :)
Had tickets to go see these guys a few years back but the tour got canceled because of covid but this is one group I want to go see love Nickelback
Nickelback deserves more respect than what they get I don't see nothing wrong with this song it actually sounds pretty good
I swear if this was a metallica song, everybody would love it
Nah... if this was Metallica I would be super disappointed
If Metallica recorded and released this garbage, I would no longer be a fan. There is no integrity or honesty about this song. Metallica fans would rebel.
@@thedevilsblackheart I'm a metal head and Death Magnetic sucked.
@@BROU-bb2uc lol, not a huge fan of Death Magnetic myself. But, Death Magnetic was better written than this shit though. I’m a metal head too. Have been for almost 40 years. And Nickelback, IS NOT METAL. Nor will they ever be. Like I’ve said in the past, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. This opinion just happens to be mine. Have a great day my fellow human and metal head.
@@thedevilsblackheart oh I agree Nickelback is pop.
I am by no means what you'd call a Nickelback fan, but this really isn't bad. I mean yeah.. its right up there with Five Finger Death Punch in terms of dad rock but theres certainly worse out there.
Also pretty sure they're referencing San Quentin prison
Right like it’s pretty cheesy but it’s also catchy, I would listen to it if was on the radio but probably not add it to my music lol
Not sure why you are bashing FFDP. It doesn't make you cool
I was quite surprised the lawyer didn’t know where San Quentin (one of the most referenced prisons in the United States) is. 😂
As a huge five finger death punch fan I wouldn't call them a dad rock band at all, and while nickleback isn't the most metal or liked, I like a few songs by them, but thay doesn't mean you should call ffdp a dad rock band when they are clearly an alternative metal band and I won't accept anything lower than that
Have a good day 😄
Respect the dads.
This is my Favoriten Nickelback Song!
Alex. My man. If you're looking for the Nickelback song that is the most metal, it's "Side Of A Bullet". The lead is by Dimebag Darrell himself.
I think this song sounds great!! It has a real Get em Up sound to it, which is one of my favorites from them, maybe a bit of Bottoms Up as well.
Writing this before I hear it... I'm hopeful. Based off of Side of a Bullet, I'm willing to give them a shot at metal 😁🤘
Edit: After listening to it... I liked it. I actually, unironically, enjoy this song and I WILL be listening to it again.
Good for you NB 😁👍
I'm actually surprised you liked it because a lot of people have said this song is trash. The people that said the song is trash probably doesn't want to admit that this is a banger.
This is one of my favorite Nickelback songs
I'm a huge Nickelback fan and I got to say this is so coincidental because just before I looked at this video I was out in my car listening to this exact song and just rockin' it out in my car with it cranked.
Note to self, never write a chorus hook that ends with San Quentin
I resonate with your sentiments. It’s just “meh”. There isn’t any significant hook that makes it interesting.
People will say what they say, some like it, and that’s fine, but for me it’s just lacking some major X factor to give it the needed edge.
I liked it but at the same time I felt like it was missing the edge like that intro. If they continued with the intro or added a breakdown with some Kroeger yells, I think it could've worked. It was heavier but not heavy.
Coby's reaction was pretty much my reaction as well. If bands like that are making it, I'm confident that my band will be successful lol
"As Everything Unfolds - Hiding from Myself" must listen this song
Hey there out there putting out music, better than the rest of us sitting here just listening.
Got to respect them for that.
If you was told it was someone else you would probably love it.
They have a fan base and I respect it
That is still like a quality-vs-quantity argument. I don't hate this song at all, but being given props for "at least..." is still kinda sad.
Couldn't disagree more with this review. Your buddy wasn't gonna say anything truthful right from the start cause he dislikes nickelback. You start out by saying you actually like them and start jamming to them but yet when he throws hate your like, oh yeah for sure man this sucks, this is cheezy. Grow some balls dude. And I'm not sure why everyone is like oh this is a metal song from nickelback.. who says so? They didn't say we're releasing a metal song. They just released a song. It's a rock song and the haters are trying to say this is there metal. I think this song rocks. Been a fan since the start and can't wait for the new album. I understand we have different tastes so some might not like it but don't be afraid to like it just cause someone else doesn't.
@@brucenatelee very pessimistic comment tbh the original commenter was just trying to share a lil light on it and took it and ran with it.
@@krismohr1721 only reason i dont myself is the singer coming off a hint on country twang in his voice and that being said im not a country fan not even remotely but thats just my music opinion i wont bank on others liking the country genre i just have my reasons i dont like it
This isn't a lyrically dense song with deep meaning. It's a party song and a song you crank the volume on and drop a gear.
Love the song, thanks for the reaction
They do have a few that are a little on the heavier side. If you are interested in checking out more from them, give a listen to "Coin for the Ferryman".
I just told my husband "it sounds like 80's hairmetal" and I probably would have liked it back then. And then your buddy just said the same. When I listen to something like that today I feel something thats called "fremdschämen" Thats german and I don't know the english word for it but it's like you feel ashamed for something someone else does 😳.
IT'S NOT METAL BUT I LIKE IT
Once u know Nickelback's original sound, its really difficult to make it work with another genre. Corey Taylor is the 1 who sticks out in my head who makes it work.
Danny Worsnop from Asking Alexandria does a great job with blues music
Buddy this hurt right in the feels.
Honestly as someone who only likes very few songs from NB, this one is fine. Although I wouldn’t call it metal. Hard rock? More than likely. It did give me a sort of 80’s vibe too which isn’t bad.
I would add this to my music collection even though it’s not something I would listen to every day. :)
I've been a metalhead since I first heard Sabbath in the early 70's and I don't see any reason why people should diss Nickleback. I like a lot of their work.
This track is not one I would go out and buy but would still be perfectly fine in a club. A little thin for my taste but kinda ok drum. Good clean lyrics, easy to hear for us old buggers.
Finally gonna check out some Audioslave? Give I am the highway or like a stone a listen. Neither are heavy, but man they slap my hymen harder than a roided up will Smith
“I feel like it should be over by now!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People always say they hate nickelback until I play them "Burn it to the Ground" and "Animals"
Man. That song is great. Throws me back to the good old Nickelback.
I love their riffs. Heavy and catchy.
I know the formula is simple to make something that’ll appeal to most people but pulling it off as often as these guys do is remarkable. I think you can’t deny that, whether you love or hate.
I really don’t feel like it’s generic rock or metal. The recipe might be but the execution is singular. It is dead ,on good ol’ Nickelback and I love it.
Yeah, this is hard rock, not metal. Nothing wrong with that, or the "dated" sound. Classic rock is classic for a reason. The vocalist just wasn't selling it to me, though. You can't phone in a wild party song.
It's FUN and it hammers! 🤘🤘
The lyrics "someone told me to burn it to the ground", I think, is a reference to an old song of theirs called "burn it to the ground"
Not sure how I feel about the lyrics but ... I love Nickelback. Love the mean 🎸 and hard hitting 🥁. If you appreciate live rock n roll go see a Nickelback show 🎶.
hows the pit at a nickelback show... ... ... ... thats what i fukkn thought
@@mos8541 if you're speaking to me, I don't give a shit what you "fukkin thought"
I love this guest. I had the EXACT same reaction. Intrigued at the start, and then it quickly fades and just shook my head throughout the rest of it
Nickelback is like covering old Shinedown unrealized song. It’s more post-grunge than more “metal”
I love Nickelback. Lyrics may be cheesy but it's like impossible not to jam to them lol
Ive been a nickelback fan my whole life and I loved this new song and love how their playing hard rock 🤟🎸
😂😂😂😂Metal😂😂😂😂😂
your whole life? so you must be 10 years old. Half of their songs sound like this. This is far from their heaviest. Feed the Machine and The Betrayal (Act III) would count as metal but this is hard rock. They aren't going metal. This is the usual. They aren't a bad band though. Welcome new fan.
@@undead5FDPA7Xfanguy Idk how long I’ve been listening to them but I know it was for a long time and yeah this is more hard rock, idk why I put metal lol
Cmon guys it's just decent rock song. Please don't become metal snobs. Not even in my top 20 bands but just fun. Better than most crap played on the radio. Just saying
Its like a mixed of modern and 90s rock. I'm actually impressed. It's not cheesy for me especially when you grew up with 80s and 90s rock music or at least started your music taste in that era.
Anyone can hate all they want but I'm jamming this in my car fully turned up
I am a fan of nickel back I listen to all of there songs I will say that San Quentin for them is different I was a bit disappointed they stuck to like 65% of the nickel back formula but at the same time I enjoyed it I’m glad the instruments didn’t get wasted on sex lyrics it’s a song I can turn my brain off to and absolutely rock out I’d give it a 3.8/5 I think it’s very enjoyable
whatever kit

Nope. I've listened to hair metal bands in the 80's that were more metal than that. That is hard rock.
It’s more a throwback to their classic era, around the All The Right Reasons album and those ones.
The world will be a better place when people aren’t afraid to admit Nickelback are good
Alex: It’s pretty cheesy
Me: it’s Nickelback. Of course it’s cheesy. Catchy but cheesy
I’ve heard a lot better but I’ve also heard a lot worse. It’s just a generic harder rock song
Two things,#1: whoever mixed and produced the track A+ you did great the sound is big and balanced, and you turned a paper sack of diarrhea into a to-go container filled with week old chili; you did the best you could and it shows. #2: This song sounds like it was specifically written to be the opening credits for a made for USA network TV or straight to DVD movie starring one D-list celebrity and featuring all CGI explosions. Either that or the audio that accompanies stock footage when sporting events cut to and come back from commercial. This is the same old formula Nickelback has always had, generic and phoned in. Alot of it has to do with having a pretentious front man who's vocal style sounds as tho he is tapping his foot to keep rhythm, without him the band could make some decent tunes (kinda like the band creed having real musical chops being held back by Scott stapp) Nickelback has had tons of success so obviously they did some things right in their career and they have a song called "too bad" that I actually thought was pretty decent. But everything else I've heard is easily forgettable and made worse by the frontmans insistence on himself (see Chad Kroger's Slipknot comments) but like another comment said, that's just my opinion.
I live 40 minutes from their hometown., and I know many people who know them personally; I also know people who have had many personal encounters and have told me quite a lot of what could be considered unreleased stories about Chad and his various ongoings in Hanna AB... lmfao... It is however cool, to see them ever so lightly dip their toes into the snowflakes touching the bare surface of the magnificently huge-cocked iceberg that is heavy metal. I do hope they continue in this direction.
They are lawyers, at least Alex. Hence their direct reaction to the lyrics 😂

Absolute killer of a song! 😁🔥🔥 stuck on repeat! Stick to solo reactions in future and do more Nickelback reactions 😂 the other Alex took away the normal high energy you put into your videos me thinks!
yah, the friend killed the mood before it started. Credit where credit is due. Nickelback will soldier on, continue touring and making money. Good on em. Hope they're near me one day soon. I'd happily pay to see them live.
Ive loved Nickelback since Silverside up..cracking album..newer stuff hasnt been too great,hopefully theyll try get heavyer again! Maybe not! 🤘🇬🇧🤘
