      I saw them at the Missouri state fair a couple decades ago! It was a fantastic show, very high energy. I am not ashamed to say I like Nickelback. Listen to, To bad and Feeling way to damn good.

    The problem with this is that the most streamed songs by Nickelback (and any rock band) are gonna be the softer more radio friendly ones that more people are gonna listen too. To get into any band you have to listen to the full albums and find the songs that are not ‘popular’ cause they’re the ones that slap

  • @EmskoppSascha

    Nickleback has aged so well in the post-radio era. When we're all on Spotify and can listen to what we wanna listen to any time, when the radio wasn't always playing their radio friendly ballads. it's so much better. When you're waiting for the new Disturbed track in high school and hear the opening tune of Photograph... oh the memes are justified.

    I never listened to Nickelback but later have listened all of their albums from their first one from 1996 (which is their most different compared to the rest) to their 2017 album and i must say i actually like their music. There's no such thing as guilty pleasure people should just be proud of what they like and just fuck the rest if they don't like it!

    I would personally say the best Nickelback song is "Good Times Gone" it's the last song off the same album as How You Remind Me (Silver Side Up) it fellow Canadian musician Ian Thornley of the band Big Wreck on the guitar, mostly playing slide. The guitar is fantastic on the song, Ian is a hell of a performer. Anyway, I would say that's their best song.

    The only reason I hated them so much back in the day was cause they were on the radio/TV music channels every 5 god damn minutes. Couldn't get away from them in the early-mid 2000's. Now that they're not overplayed to shit, I've learned to appreciate a lot of their songs. I still can't listen to How You Remind Me or Rockstar though, I've heard enough of those to last me 10 lifetimes.

    Their deeper cuts are better than their singles. The Long Road is an overall pretty solid rock album and Feed the Machine also has a lot of highlights.
    I didn't like them back in the day but my dad took me to see them live back in 2017 and it made me a fan.

    That comedian was Brian Posehn, and he appeared in the first episode of The Mandalorian, which made me lose my poo. He's metal god tier. He also appears in the Red Fang vid for "Wires."
    The reason I disliked Nickelback was because it during the safe era in the early 2000s that in Toledo, and Time Mag saying we were the next scene, so we thought we made it, but they went with the corpo rock instead. Highlights though, was the song you played that Dimebag played on (if you didn't know, I'll send you on that adventure.) Also, "Rockstar" reminds me how much 2008 sucked, which came to its zenith this year. Cheers, Birb.

    There was a good decade or more where they just saturated the market with their music. Every bar you went to, someone was playing them. They were all over the radio all the time, even the stations that only play top 40 music. Their music videos were played constantly. Between 2001 and 2011, you could not escape Nickelback. Even though I don't think they suck, the level of saturation that we were subjected to was enough to leave a bad taste in poeples mouths so I always understood the disdain people had for them.

    It's hard to try to argue in favor of Nickelback, simply because the people who don't Luke them have only heard the ones that are mainstream, and mainstream Nickelback songs suck ass. But the songs that aren't singles, that you'll only find lyric videos for or just the audio of, are the ones that slap. Side of a Bullet, Betrayal Act III, Must Be Nice, and This Means War are some of my favorite songs, but not one of them got radio play or anything.

    I honestly feel like Nickelback is one of those bands that you had to enjoy them in their peak and follow the ride to love them still. They are misjudged as the ballad band as they do have more actual rock/heavy near metal bangers than they do ballads at this point but ballads is what played on the radio and got them fame in the first place. Hence the "love to hate" aspect. Are they a perfect band? Hell no. There are some songs I even despise from them. I really only like Nickelback cause it is what I grew up on as a kid with my dad and it stuck with me. Sure I love my metalcore, deathcore, hardcore stuff now. But I still rock some dad rock/butt rock from time to time. You not being a fan of Nickelback growing up hindered the chances of you getting into them as you discovered better music like Protest The Hero and such. I can definitely see why people can't get into them now as WAY better music is out there. They are basically a "you had to be there" kind of band. I feel the same for Five Finger Death Punch as they were a gateway band for me into metal. I still like them but they are far from being my fav band now as my music taste has changed drastically. I love that a Nickelback hater such as yourself still gave them a shot, even though they failed to pull you in in the end. Most Nickelback haters won't even entertain the idea of giving them a shot cause they are all closed minded elitists. Much love, Birb. 🤘
