It's a weird phenomenon lol EVERYONE loved Nickelback when they came out, they had chart toppin hit after hit and people respected the amazing quality of their music. Then, outta no where, it just became cool to hate Nickelback or talk about how terrible they are.... based on... nothing. People did it for eCred and it just kept snowballing until practically anyone you ask would claim to dislike Nickelback, right up until you put on 1 of their songs and those same haters are suddenly rockin out.
I don't care about anything the lyrics says. I can't stand that lifestyle. But I still love the song, it's fun and catchy. As a musician too I like how it changes modes
@@FlichterI wondered the same thing the other poster asked but I think you nailed it with your answer. It seemed like overnight I heard people bashing on them Sam's I couldn't figure out if I missed something or not that differently made them uncool.
If anyone from Nickelback is reading this, the internet may have obstructed your name, or your career, but your work here lays surely as one of the greatest rock records ever.
When I slowly start to realize what music they're playing on the radio these days, i have to admit that this song wasn't that bad after all. Should've appreciated it more 13 years ago...
The decline in popular music started in the 1990s and by the 2000s the charts were dominated by trash and in 2020 there is nothing good at all. The same has happened to cinema. TV will go the same way as well.
@@bighands69 Still think it was good pop in the 90's and 00's, however after that I really do agree that the real decline kicked in... pop nowadays is a total disaster im feeling sick :(
ME? I actually liked the alternative and grunge, I had more of an issue with the DJ's who wanted to bury rock and roll, and replace it with alternative music. Look where we are now, I suppose my fears were not too far off.
The only people that hate Nickelback are mindless, sheep, following trendy, bullshit, or the ones that secretly love them, but are afraid of saying it in fear of being shamed by said moronic, trendy, following mindless sheep. They have one of the highest selling records of all time that literally went diamond…. That alone speaks for itself, they have some of the highest topping songs of all time. So all those people that shit on this band can suck it I’ve had so many people tell me ew you like them? Yeah actually I fucking do. I also love flesh god apocalypse, Carach Angren, Dominia, Draconian, Tim McGraw, various blues musicians and 80s bands. It’s called having your own opinion your own likes your own train of thought. I hope more people look at my comment and feel the same. Like whatever the hell you want because life is too short to let people tell you what you should and shouldn’t be doing or listening to. ✌🏼
I don't understand the hate...both bands had some incredible songs. It didnt matter what genre you listened to we all listened to this as the video portrays. Definitely defined early 2k music..and got just overall relatable! In fact I preferred them over the pop boy bands that were so popular around this time.....
What I love about this music video is that the people have that quintessential mid-2000s look and there's even a bunch of celebs from the time who've pretty much been forgotten about. It's like a time capsule.
I moved to Minnesota from 2000 until 2008 as a young black dude(aged 20 thru 28) And I'll admit Nickelback along with alot of Rock and Alternative Rock broadened my musical spectrum frfr..I love this song

That's awesome! Thank you for your comment, it is incredible to see today, almost 17 yrs later, how many of them are still relevant, and how many lived their "rockstar lives" and are now rich and resting
Played this song to the point of never wanting to hear it again when I was growing up. Just listened to it again for the first time in about 15 years and the nostalgia is heavy. Absolute classic.
Haha been there. Isn't it just the most peculiar thing how songs we ragged on when we were young, are now super nostalgic as we relisten as full adults, yearning to return to those simpler days, if even just for a few hours.
Ever since I first heard Rockstar on their 2005 album All The Right Reasons, I've always loved this track with those clever lyrics. Seeing this on RUclips today marks the first time I've ever seen the video .. don't know how they managed to get all those people to contribute, but the effect is great! Chad's voice is so unmistakeable.
Check out Hank Jr.s All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight. Way too many celebrities to name. Was also the song he converted into the Monday night football opening for @thirty years
@@JonathanFerretCampos oh boy i wasnt ex0ecting to meet a music expert today. What would you suggest mr i have little to no knowledge over music theory but act and speak like i can only satisfy my ears with Bach and Chopen
This was back when Nickelback was quite low-key, loved it; it was my band that nobody else had heard of. Now everyone just jumps on the bandwagon of hating them.
Me and my grandpa would jam out and smoke a lil to this song. Ever since his passing me and my brother try to keep a tradition to play his songs every weekend , have a bonfire, and enjoy life in his name.
Every time I listen to a Nickelback song, I think "why do they get mocked so much?". They are an awesome musical ensemble, who created hit after hit. I know they've all got the last laugh taking all their money to the bank, and now able to live in the lap of luxury with their earnings -- which doubtless keep on coming in, since their music is used all over the place, and the royalties all go to them. You ARE a rockstar Chad -- and all you other fellows too, of course. You did Canada proud!
Even the people that claim to hate Nickleback have to admit the 1) this is a great song and 2) its really amazing how many actual successful musicians they got to appear in this video
@@Exnavyjay Even my friend, that doesn't like them, realises that were a great band with great lyrics for almost every occasion. You must be young, or maybe never musically trained. I know that may sound a little harsh, but the amount of tone deaf people I've seen on shows like 'American Idol' - or insert another country - that have no idea that they have no talent, seem astonishing to me. All their friends telling them they are great, but in reality...that couldn't be further from their friends' opinions. Good luck to you with finding a band that has such an enormous amount of lyrically diverse as well as musical talent.
From what I understand they tried to get into the metal crowd and show up with those shows, but if they stayed in the alternative scene it would have gone over better.. however people obviously haven't heard Animals.
I love this song. Others I have heard on the radio are goody too shoes . How they got so many celebrities to show up in this video is incredible. Kid Rock acts like he really got his drug dealer on speed dial .
You can love the song and still hate the artist primary reason he is hated is for 5 reasons 1. He was over played 2. His song structure was repeated multiple times without any change 3. Man has a shit personality 4. Everyone else hates him 5. He's cliche
I don't think anyone ACTUALLY hates Nickelback. Everyone knows all the lyrics to at least *one* of their songs, lol. It's just s'posed to be "cool" to hate them.
@@Matheux10 I think it started as kind of a thing in the late 90s,early 00s because they were just *SO* popular then. So people were like, "Oh well I'm not *like* everybody *else* I'm too cool for Nickelback, kind of thing.
@@KS-xo3oh Wrong. Hollywood has always been that way. Your perspective changes as you age and learn more about the world. Hollywood and the media are for sure the worst evil in the world.
@@eriklarson9137 Well you MIGHT actually be right, but this is where you MIGHT also have to give the Devil his due....As "evil" as it may well be, it is also VERY powerful. Don't believe me?

You would never see a music video like this today this era of music was one of the best I’m so glad I got to see it and be in it I can’t understand why people hate on them I’ve always loved this song
I know nowadays a lot of people don't like nickelback but you have to admit this a banger of a tune with great lyrics which are astonishingly honest. Love it. Well I likes you Nicole acknowledged.
This brings back great memories of listening to All the Right Reasons on CD in my Mum's car as a kid, I've all but lost her to the big C now. Just rocking out in the car without a care in the world. What I'd do for another car ride like that now.
Hating them is the hipster thing to do, so naturally most of the web hops on the bandwagon. I also generally like their music, been a fan for a few years now, words from haters are just noise in the wind anyway.
Hard to deny this is one of the coolest music videos ever made. People give nickelback hate now days. It’s a funny meme, but my high school/college days they were the shit in like 03-09. Love them.
@Glenn Boot you are my HERO! Thank you for saying what so many people should learn! The song is so much fun! Although it sounds a little slower than the original release!
Care to elaborate on what you’re referring to when you talk about social norms changing over the past decades? I completely agree, but find some of it difficult to put to words and describe. Anything in particular that you noticed?
@@verne51 ive heard a much different story, about them getting a good amount of hate for some reason idk why, but ive even heard from my mom that my dad forbids nickelback from being played on his radio or anything, if any of their music comes on his radio he'll mute it until the music is over, why, idk
This was me and my late nephews song we used to rock out to it in the car. Listening to it know after him gone five years know brings tears to my eyes.
Nickelback really captured the moment with this one My personal favorite Paris Hilton And Pal Wal from Houston Texas sw this song is 🗝️ 2 my Imagination 💋💋💋🤟
I'll never understand why so many people talk down on Nickelback and make fun of their music. I've always loved Nickelback and I always will. This song is FIRE!
My son loves them..I think this a great song…..my son this “Hero” made a lot of people think they were just some session/theme song band and never gave them a chance
The fact they got Gretzky for this absolutely shocked me when I saw it. That’s the GOAT. In a Nickelback music video. Maybe they’re not as bad as we thought they were
I totally get why Nickelback are such a hated band. If it wasn't for this song and video I would be a Nickelback hater as well. Nickelback redeemed themselves with this.
I am leaving this comment in hope that whenever someone likes it . I’ll be reminded of this masterpiece.
KID ROCK !!!! JAMS👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Boy have times changed since then.
have you heard hellion hero version?
Hell yeah! Get some!!
I went to school with the original drummer Ryan Vikedal

This song is timeless, and it's a classic.
I just wanna agree

All their friends telling them they are great, but in reality...that couldn't be further from their friends' opinions.
Good luck to you with finding a band that has such an enormous amount of lyrically diverse as well as musical talent.
I hate Nickelback, but I love this song for some reason. They ain't all bad.
hopefully one day a rock will change that
That’s a sad thought.
I don’t understand why people throw so much hate at Nickleback!! So many bangers! Love it!
From what I understand they tried to get into the metal crowd and show up with those shows, but if they stayed in the alternative scene it would have gone over better.. however people obviously haven't heard Animals.
@@PNWRideAlongs Sunny V2 made an entire video on why people might hate nickelback if you want to watch it.
cause the internet says so
It's mainly bc Chad K (lead singer) is douchebag.
For real?
I feel like I’m in the 2000s whenever i listen to this song
How many people still loves NICKELBACK???
58, apparently
❤❤❤❤❤❤
not many
I love this song. Others I have heard on the radio are goody too shoes . How they got so many celebrities to show up in this video is incredible. Kid Rock acts like he really got his drug dealer on speed dial .
😏
Will never understand why theses guys are hated on so much an absolutely legendary song
Cause meme
BRO. SAME.
Their loss, not ours!
They're not actually hated. It is a false belief made possible by a few internet voices with an inappropriately large microphone.
It's a joke they continue
You can’t hate nickleback if you jam out every time this song plays
This is literally the only good nickleback song. I still hate nickleback as a whole though.
I've never had a problem with Nickelback as a band or with their music...I wish that others would explain themselves...@@calyxprophet5221
You can love the song and still hate the artist primary reason he is hated is for 5 reasons
1. He was over played
2. His song structure was repeated multiple times without any change
3. Man has a shit personality
4. Everyone else hates him
5. He's cliche
you are so right we should talk
that song so good ruclips.net/video/BJmbs-ks54s/видео.html
Barely started listening to Nickleback and I don't understand all the hate. I love this music
I don't think anyone ACTUALLY hates Nickelback. Everyone knows all the lyrics to at least *one* of their songs, lol. It's just s'posed to be "cool" to hate them.
@@jadefire2817 agreed
@@jadefire2817 But why hating them is cool ? lol
@@Matheux10 I think it started as kind of a thing in the late 90s,early 00s because they were just *SO* popular then. So people were like, "Oh well I'm not *like* everybody *else* I'm too cool for Nickelback, kind of thing.
Family Guy.
It’s a real shame this classic isn’t played on the radio stations due to the lyrics.
This music video is literally like a finale to the good times.
EXACTLY! That's why I'm visiting this again..... just wanted to laugh at what was considered fun and silly when times were so different....
@@KS-xo3oh Wrong. Hollywood has always been that way. Your perspective changes as you age and learn more about the world. Hollywood and the media are for sure the worst evil in the world.
@@KS-xo3oh Wrong. People always swear things were great back then and now they're awful. It's been the same for a while now
Wow! An astounding thought--I think you might be right!
@@eriklarson9137 Well you MIGHT actually be right, but this is where you MIGHT also have to give the Devil his due....As "evil" as it may well be, it is also VERY powerful. Don't believe me? You're watching or WERE just watching, a product of that evil, and by commenting here you are participating in it, albeit indirectly, but participating none the less.
15 years later and it’s still a masterclass. Takes you back to the good old days!
Hell yea!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same man I'm an 9 and I love it
Masterpiece* and it’s not it’s garbage lmao
Always got to be a hater...and in this case a punk ass b!+@#...go back to your video games Jr and have mommy make you a sandwich and some milk.. LMFAO
You would never see a music video like this today this era of music was one of the best I’m so glad I got to see it and be in it I can’t understand why people hate on them I’ve always loved this song
David Guetta just released a video like this one. So much for “never happen today”.
Pharrels Happy song tried to do this.. lol
Whenever im struggling in life, i come to this song... has some sort of magic to lift you up
One of my favorite song ever made by Nickleback!!
This feels like a good song when youre driving a truck down the highway
I shoot dope Josh...kw
My late husband used to love this song..I think of him everytime I hear it. #RIPGabriel
🙏 sorry for your loss
He had great taste
*_Sorry for your lost he's smiling down for you_*
@@Last_King2023 aww thank you!
Im really sorry for your loss
I know nowadays a lot of people don't like nickelback but you have to admit this a banger of a tune with great lyrics which are astonishingly honest. Love it. Well I likes you Nicole acknowledged.
idk why people be hating on nickleback and this song i think its a classic

I CAN NOT GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD
almost the perfect time capsule for the early 2000's

Early? This is from 2006, isn’t it?
@@legrandboche712 2005, but yeah

More late 2000s. 2007 song
This brings back great memories of listening to All the Right Reasons on CD in my Mum's car as a kid, I've all but lost her to the big C now. Just rocking out in the car without a care in the world. What I'd do for another car ride like that now.
i’m sorry for your loss ❤️ and this song will always be great
Amen totally understand and there with you!
Big love for Mum!💜💜💜
Whenever this song is on I never want it to end. It's timeless.

yes man !!
I often hear that people dislike Nickelback, but I am unsure why. I like his music.
I agree . totally adicting .:)
Hating them is the hipster thing to do, so naturally most of the web hops on the bandwagon. I also generally like their music, been a fan for a few years now, words from haters are just noise in the wind anyway.
well there hated mainly because of the perverted songs ex Something in your mouth, animals, rock star, etc.
Oh. Well good thing Rap hasn't gone that route.
Because...opinions?
Hard to deny this is one of the coolest music videos ever made. People give nickelback hate now days. It’s a funny meme, but my high school/college days they were the shit in like 03-09. Love them.
JBlack Johnny cashes gods gonna cut you down has a very similar video
Great song shit video tho lets be honest
Crazy how much the social norms have changed over the last 20 years. Love this song and video; definitely a timeless classic for me
Social media ruins us
@Glenn Boot you are my HERO! Thank you for saying what so many people should learn! The song is so much fun! Although it sounds a little slower than the original release!
Care to elaborate on what you’re referring to when you talk about social norms changing over the past decades? I completely agree, but find some of it difficult to put to words and describe. Anything in particular that you noticed?
Not really. Life feels the same it was then
Care to explain how social norms have changed?
Nov in 2024 anyone?
Old ass comment 😅
Me
Fun fact: all the people in this video voted for Trump. 😂😢
@ and they’re dumb
RIGHT HERE
In this current, crazy world, we all need a little Nickelback - I love these guys.
Amen to that
This song has become such a classic. I’ve always liked Nickleback and never understood the hate they got.
they didnt get any hate
Same. Unashamedly a fan.
@@verne51 ive heard a much different story, about them getting a good amount of hate for some reason
idk why, but ive even heard from my mom that my dad forbids nickelback from being played on his radio or anything, if any of their music comes on his radio he'll mute it until the music is over, why, idk
@@titaniac3037 maybe because the lyrics are about drugs n stuff
@@titaniac3037 just because your dad is a D-bag doesnt mean people hate nickleback.
Last Friday night of 2019 and I'm STILL loving this song!
Same here
I feel you guys, forever one of the best songs
Love it
@@bpcarman same
I started my 2020 with it...
Influencer pledge of allegiance.
🤣🤣🤣
"I wanna be great like Elvis"...every generation can appreciate this line.
I love Nickelback, haters can get lost
True musicians see them as non-talent hacks..I agree! What a p.o.s. song..verifying Rolling Stone's view. Thank you.
as a child I always thought this was a country song about rockstars
Tbf tho
Sara Gonzalez You're a Sweet lady❤️👍🦄⭐️
It’s not country, it’s not rock. It’s Nickelback.
I still do
I've already done some ..... but need that lottery win to do the rest ;-)
Now that I have actually matured somewhat I have a whole new appreciation for Nickleback. They're the real deal.
Great message. Who needs to try to do anything useful to society when you can just try to be a rockstar?
Awesome hair... But useless comment
Francis Man lol do you understand the difference between the terms rockstar and just a regular rock musician?

This was me and my late nephews song we used to rock out to it in the car. Listening to it know after him gone five years know brings tears to my eyes.
I'm sure he's still rocking out to it too wherever he may be. My condolences for your loss.
I turned 61 today. And this song has been a ringtone on my phone since 2012’!! I love it. It will never grow old. And neither will I. 🤣
Love or hate nickleback, this is a good song
I first heard this song when I was 9 and fell in love with it
OBi VEX Same
OBi VEX Yea because everyone loves money sex and drugs at the age of 9!
okay ill admit this song is about money, sex and drugs but have u heard some of their other songs like they can teach a pretty fucking vital lesson!
OBi VEX same
OBi VEX ha i was 4 and killed my radio with a disc of this song only
Never understood the hate for this band! Was background music to my childhood which I loved.
Same here, I always liked them.
Yeah those people just can't stand he is making his music more poppy but its awesome love nickelback as much as any great band
I think that it's trendy to hate them
If that makes sense to you
me too brov
@@leeseburgefoley7166 this is very true! They are a classic band for ever
Lets see whose listening to this on 2024?
And yes you searched for it!
Nickelback really captured the moment with this one My personal favorite Paris Hilton And Pal Wal from Houston Texas sw this song is 🗝️ 2 my Imagination 💋💋💋🤟
Love the comments section we're the Stars and it makes it Fun 😊
Always loved this song. Takes us all back to happier times and the American Dream.
💯
Oddly enough by a Canadian band…
@@mikereed9263dont have to be American to chase the American dream, we all searching for it
@@will-mc2ci AMEN 🙏
....I think the point of this song is that the "American dream " according to the entertainment industry, is pretty corrupt lol
This song just transports me to a better time when I was a little kid and my dad would play nickel back on Sunday drives😔
Same dude
same bro that’s crazy
ON GOD
Same here!! Also 999🤘🏼♾
MEEE OMG
This is one of the best! Love to play this when I get together with friends while we're playing cards or just hanging out
I'll never understand why so many people talk down on Nickelback and make fun of their music. I've always loved Nickelback and I always will. This song is FIRE!
I'm not even listening to people's ramblings about Nickelback being a terrible band. I love them so much! And this song!
Cuz they can take a hit while giving hit like this and that too with smile (+ it also help's having Deadpool thier side)
100% agree i have no clue???
My son loves them..I think this a great song…..my son this “Hero” made a lot of people think they were just some session/theme song band and never gave them a chance
Only people who listen to rap and think it’s music 😂
Dont understand the hate towards Nickelback.. this song spoke to the millionaire in all
Of us
Ahh yes some still have culture it seems
I’m 12 but I don’t listen to that new stuff no thank you early 2000s and everything in and before the 90s for me
sade -0 well I grew up in a small town in North Carolina and we just ain’t that advanced
sade -0 AC/DC, Hank Williams, easy E, Eddie Rabbitt, and a bunch others
I’ve heard Van Halen haven’t heard the other 2
September 2017 and still loving this song. Anyone else?
Sid Ahmed Alem No, nickelback sucks.
Sid Ahmed Alem yea bro👍
Autogolazzo your channel sucks
Kaneki Phantomhive Something tells me you are under the age of 35; I can't seem to put my hand on it...
Autogolazzo trolls, smh
Do you guys Nickelback? IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU LIKE NICKELBACK!!! This song is awesome & timeless!!
15 yrs later and watching and listening to Rockstar still makes me smile. - #1 Music Video
Same even if the kids call it dad rock now 😢
then you haven't watched any Iron Maiden video.
Still trying to understand why this band is so hated.. This is a classic.
-- Bands like this, say Creed get the hate too. Don't know what they're about in real life, might change my opinion, but they've got some good songs.
they have one or two good songs but the rest is bullshit🤷♂️
because he looks like nicholas cage
@@globalvideo9670 lol🤣
chup
Just found out about this song today. I wish I found it 3 years ago this is a banger
2:49 Anna is the best part of this video
15 years later and still got this shit on replay ❤️❤️❤️
For real
Same
Good fuckin song
18*
Looking back, had no clue there were this many celebrities in this song.
Seriously 🤣. Me either
In the year 2050, I’ll show this video to anyone who asks me what the early 2000’s were like. 🤘🏻
hell yea
Where did we lose the way? :(
Sad years
I already do this unfortunately the tiktok generation
What, to give them a bad impression of music in the early part of that decade?
The fact they got Gretzky for this absolutely shocked me when I saw it. That’s the GOAT. In a Nickelback music video.
Maybe they’re not as bad as we thought they were
Still never gets old this song is legendary
Mate, you are totally correct.. and looking at the characters..where are they now?😂😂😂
@@paulkenneally789 they all still have their fame, just kickin back now.
I totally get why Nickelback are such a hated band. If it wasn't for this song and video I would be a Nickelback hater as well. Nickelback redeemed themselves with this.
