Every Nickelback song is a country song if you're drunk enough.
Ain’t that the truth😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
or sober enough
Yep. Drunk now seeing this and god damn. Nickelback is just new country.
"Side of a bullet" wants a word with you.
As hard and growling as his vocals are,he has a nice range. That's a good vocalist. Can sing any genre at the drop of a hat
Any genre ? He just his own 2 songs. Same genre.
@@kcb5336 Loser hater
@@kcb5336u dumb if u think Nickelback are just one genre 💀
They didn't say he had songs in different genres.. they said he could sing different genres.. @@kcb5336
Any genre? R&B? Rap? Mongolian Throat Metal? Gojira? Actual Rock? 😂 jk jk
When he said he should have sang it with a twang then sang it exactly how he sang it 😂 love it
Yup
@@shaneilellis9832lol
I was thinking the same thing
Totally 😂
The light in his eye when realization hit😂
"How do you mean?"
Chad's face *how could you not understand what I just said?*
Came here to find this lol what a moron
ijit
😂😂😂😂😂 literally tho. If you know their songs then it wasn’t a hard statement to understand
Their song "far away" hit hard during those days..
"hit hard" stupid saying
@@Vertical-sandwiches why is it stupid can you tel me please
@@user75030 it’s not that dudes just being weird
@@RC-zb8tlthat dude gets no buns for sure
@@ams25666that dude probably IS the buns.
My favourite country band is slipknot
Mine is the Dead Milkmen
If slipknot is country then cannibal corpse is folk bluegrass 😂
Wait till you discover that indie rock band Meshuggah
You gentlemen seem like you would like this vaporwave band called Scour. I know it makes me break out the glo sticks.
@@iamgriff ignoring the joke their a great band
“What the hell is on Joey’s head” 😂
You Sure it wasnt "where has aunt jonie been" lol jk
@@CharlieRootsMusic The lyrics really say "What the hell is on Joey's head?".
@@trainstracks2221 hence lol jk at the end of my comment .
"I damn near sang it with a country twang"
You did!
YOU ABSOLUTELY DID 😂
He's really talented. No one can deny that. Even if you don't like him.
I still don’t get why people don’t like him and appreciate this band and their music. Hell we’re all still listening and talking about it, how many years later?? Staying power.
@@ACTblessed they became so hated by how popular they were, but i guess now the new generation just know that nickelback is hated and go along with it
Why would anybody nor like him ? Did he do something horrendous ? Ieat People love trump and he is a monster
His voice is good man just love his perfect control on the grit
Its been fun seeing them live through the meme and embrace it. Seem like cool dudes.
Yeah I’ve never understood why people act like it’s the end of the world if you like this band.
They act like as if Nickelback committed MURDER 🤣
They're not "cool dudes". At least Chad isn't. Their a toxic mess of doing whatever they need to do to stay relevant. In their case, all of the memes and jokes only aided in keeping them relevant. Bad press is good press type thing.
I don't know why people disrespect this band they write killer lyrics and they can all play their instruments like a mother!!
Some payed to try and ruin their reputation.
@@user-sx6bj4ny6l huh?
😂😂😂
@@thechefmechanic2484 How many top 10 songs do you have?
Basically they got memed. Turned into a “fun to hate” thing without any reason. Happens to famous people all the time.
I saw them open for Creed in 1999 here in Montreal. I think it was their first album. The blew the roof off of the place! They were a killer band before the schlock rock!
That is truly the Butt rock concert of the century
Much like people say of Metallica. They used to rip but became pop hard rock. Sounds like their latest album got a bit harder again though.
Woulda been their second album i think. Funny though cause nickelback sorta replaced Creed lol
What song did they play?
Nickelback and Creed on the same bill and people didn't riot?
If Nickelback can release a straight up country mix I would buy every album
Me too!
Amen brother!
Nickelback's Chad Kroeger talks about how 'Photograph' could have been a ...This wonderful voice is so beautiful 😎🎸✨🌹👋👋
How cant someone don't love this ...
I am glad to see Nickleback doing well. I love this band. ❤
Me too
I love Nickelback and the song she keeps me up all blows me away
That man mastered so many different genres. Can write for the radio in his sleep gotta respect he's good at what he does
His falsetto was crazy
When you step on a Lego 😂😂
“I might as well have sang it with a twang” …Chad…you did 😂😂😂
Check your hearing. He did not sing it with a twang.
@@ronniek7748He's always sang with a twang. He's a country artist. I've been saying it since they first started.
Jesus Christ y’all hear that high pitch? God Nickelback can really sing
Do you also call Bruce Willis "Die Hard"?
@@vyrnmn 😅
@@vyrnmn Everyone knows the band is named after the front man Chad Nickel
That's his name??? LMAO 🤣
@@vyrnmn John McClain but yeah
Photograph is a def Leppard song as far as I'm concerned.
Actually ringo Starr before that and ed Sheeran after everyone else
Different lyrics.
😂 facts
Kroeger needs to take a new stage name and do a solo country album.
Aaron Lewis from Staind did it with his real name. Chad could easily do it better than Aaron.
He could call himself Hootie
Yeah like Chris Gaines
@@drew_peabawls13 hootie and the kroegfish
He does not. Stop talking.
Love these guys
Love nickelback they always remind me 2007 2008 good old days😞❤️
The 2 best Nickelback songs by a mile!!
Agreed... Dont forget "Far Away"
Dudes super talented I have no idea why people rip on them.they are great live. And they are actually real musicians ,and not drugged out junkies like most of the rockstars... They deserve waay more respect.
it's because their music sucks
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
They’re a heavy band, who adopted the pop music formula. I still think it’s good music, but it’s not the heavy Nickelback from 1999.
They are formulaic. They don't deviate from the basics be it good or bad.
There ya go, you said it! Agreed!
Chad Kroger looks like a combination of Dax Shepard, Justin Hartley and Kevin Costner.
I was gonna say Nick Cage off wishlist-
I LOVE NICKELBACK! Best memories, best band...love you guys forever!
Chad has the sexiest voice & vocals in music today! When it comes to writing songs he's a humble genius! I met him before they became famous & they are still down to earth, cool Canadian guys playing awesome music for everyone!😊💜🎶💯👍
Chad is a great songwriter. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just filled with envy!
First show I went to was Nickleback, puddle of Mudd and 3 doors down. 2004ish. Hammered drunk with my boy and our now exes lol. Good times.
I went to the same show in nc
Eeeewwwww. Thats like the 3 worst butt-rock bands all in one show. Gross.
Saw the same tour in KC, first concert of my life.
@@the_propel that's pretty cool man, I saw them at the woodlands IN TX. It was a good show (from what I remember lol)
A lot of walls punched in and mothers sworn at that day
The "where's that guitar" was great
Photograph is a comedy tune. Especially the video clip 😂
"Animals" is the best song they ever released.
It's an absolute jam. I don't care what anyone says otherwise.
First album. Leader of men. And breathe are up there too
You don't care? Great. I won't feel bad then when I say you've terrible taste in music. Some people aren't lucky enough to hear. You can and you choose to listen to this bilge.
@@robovac3557 Like I said, it's the best song Nickelback ever released.
Not even in my top 100 favorite songs overall though.
@@Intentionally_Inflammatory Keep that list to yourself. I fear hearing it would do me an injury.
@@robovac3557 Alright I'll take my Radiohead elsewhere then. 😔
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.
Ty so much that made my night! Love them❤️
That looks he gives when he asks, "How do you mean" 😅
Sou apaixonada por esta banda . Mais apaixonada ainda pelo vocalista❤
Nickelback is an amazing band
I connected with way he says “where’s that guitar?”
Sitting down with these genius song writers must be a pleasure
Him struggling to play and find a key for two of HIS OWN SONGS, confirms everything I already thought about the great Nickelback
Just saw these guys three weeks ago, they put on a HELL of a show. Probably one of the best concerts I have ever been too.
They don’t deserve the grief they get tbh.
When he started singing photograph i felt a rage brewing and i haven't listened to them in a decade lol
Love it, was about time👏
The only way Nickelback could be worse is if it was country
Nickelback is fine
@@franklindelanoroosevelt9177 Better than fine. 🤘🏻
Everyone has a right to their opinion. I personally love them! 🤘🏻
Wait a minute…did I just realize that chad is actually really good?! Lol I uhm…may have been mistaken in my disdain. Will report back after listening to a few albums.
I love photograph but every time
I hear it all I here is “look at this graph” 😂😂😂😂😂
Loved the Phoenix Show! Pete singing was pretty epic!!!
I think his best song is the one he doesn't sing
Right
Nickelback is one of the greatest bands of all time. I can’t even understand how people don’t like them.
People hate them because others hate them and the chain reaction just went one
I know people who says they hate nickelback and knows all they lyrics to their songs with the backstory
One of the greatest bands ever? You can’t be serious, have you listened to music before?
@@bitumenroad4648 everyone hates nickelback but nobody changes the song when rockstar comes on
@@norrinradd2214 my unpopular opinion: The beatles absolutely suck, Nickelback is still awesome! Music is about personal preference, NOT what you think people want you to like. If you listen to music solely based on what’s “popular” you are missing out on some incredible stuff.
@@stephenpowell2723 exactly. People tend to be sheep and just try to follow the crowd and hate on sometimes just because they think it's the cool thing to do.
Ok he needs to do a country album
All I can see now is that meme “look at this photograph” and he just holds it there for a minute.
Just seen you in Cincinnati love you guys ❤
His vocals are crazy i love him 😊
"Heavy" chorus. Lmao
Everyone expecting "look this graaaaaph" 😂
I love nickelback so much…
He said “heavy” chorus 😂😂😂👍
Wen a song transcends all types of music. You know it's a classic that your grandchildren will know👏🎩
I cant help but think about the meme "look at this graaaph"
I think when Chad does acoustic, he tends to get more country sounding than when he is in concert on electric guitar. ❤
Love that band and Chad.and Mike
Absolutely love how he sings it exactly as he did in the song as if he sang it a different way 😂
Far away was on repeat for over two days back in the day ❤🎉🎉🎉
Amazing vocals
This is why it appeals to Southerners so much 🤠
I cannot wait to see these guys for the first time in August
Alarm clock lmfao!!! 🔥
i've been listening to nickelback since i was 10, & this is the first time i've heard him speak.
the most legit journalism the CBC has done in years
We need a Nickelback country album🤘🏼
One of the best rock vocalist
Great voice man . Even now.
He sound like Morgan wallen when he was playin around 😂🔥🖤
Awesome tunes ❤❤❤
A little bit country, a lil bit rock and roll!💋
This is why I loved Nickleback it's like Hard County music 😅
❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤Chad I love you. Love your song so much. ❤❤❤❤
that confused "pfff" was a "whatta you mean "whatta i mean?"
Heyyyyyy I heard you
Sing w/ Brantly.....
Pretty friggin good
Just your voice tho
Pretty friggin good...
Luvvvv this tho
“That’s soo country,” he says. 😆
For a second I thought that was Nick Cage
Love Nickelback been a fan since this is how u remind me
We dance on burn it to the ground country dance line 🤠
Damnit I need a whole song with the twang!
I called it country rock when it first came out and everyone argued with me about it 😂
Bro has such a great voice
Very talented band, seem like nice guys too 👍
Why country kids liked it. Rock and country. Full send for country folks
man watchin and listening to Savin me on MTV every morning, I really wanted to have a singing voice like Chad. It was too late cuz i was already deep with nsync/backstreet and pop punk bands xD
He sounded like Morgan Wallen there 😂😂
I heard Rockstar on country radio one time
Wouldn't mind a reimagining ❤
He looks so good with short hair and his voice is amazing. Love Chad and Nickleback
He could sing a lullaby id still jam to it lol
Holy cow! Chad! Do this!!
I completely agree with this. I live in East TN and the crossover between country fans/Nickelback fans is real.
