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
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. ✌🏼
@@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
@@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.

Lol i like it to people forget that hes just singing about the life of a rockstar hint why its called rockstar. But they are just to stupid to understand it.
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.
People started saying "Nickelback sucks" because they're sheep with no brain, just following what other people say. MTV had a show where people were trying to be comedians. One of the comedians jokes (a dude who never made it) was about how he hates Nickelback and they suck. The promo and trailer for the show had this featured on it. So it went "viral" before things were going viral on the internet. Even some celebrities like Adam Sandler jumped in on it, said it live on TV. Other people followed suit...like I said, just like sheep.
@@jamiev2159 Theyre in my 1000 song playlist of rock songs but i just skip over their songs 99% of the time its kind of annoying, youre listening to some normal normal rock song like styx or tom petty next thing you know youve got savin' me by nickelback screaming in your ear... its like no, Im not hearing that **Skip**
I partially hated them thinking they only made songs for radio hits until I found out they played in pubs for ten years first and made at least 2 super heavy rock albums first - not radio friendly and after their success made a heavy rock album again a couple of years ago. Matchbox twenty also played in pubs for several years before having a hit sungle or album. So easy to judge quickly right ?
Like silverchair in Australia when they were kids. The tall poppy syndrome is terrible in Australia or at least was back then. ruclips.net/video/XGnLFXPwhxU/видео.html

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
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.
My theory is that they're more successful than their sound suggests. People resent that. It's like the C- student in school becoming a multi-millionaire.
@@BigMan7o0 fortunately i dont talk about myself like that.....although there are other things for which i totally deserve to be smashed in the head with a heavy mining equipment
hated by who if you personaly hate them that your prefrence but there not liked cause they don't follow suit in the industry they made they are happy it seems i like there music i think all the rock stars that did what ever you have to keep pleasing there mangers /handlers they it seemed didnt sell out completely others now powerful people are like i had to do this and they said no . no big time for you but they where big time for a bit not saying i know but it seems they came saw made got out maybe they got too deep and just said no they dont like people who think for them selfs now i hear they suck that is personal prefrence i'm sure they dont give a f they done did it and if they where smart will live off there music for the rest of there lives suck or not they seem to be winning
@@jonathanmclean269 Where do you see me saying that "I" hate them? If you say you haven't heard them get shit on then your just being dishonest with yourself. That one single period you put in there really helped BTW
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
Lots of people hate on Nickleback but in this video alone they changed 100s of peoples lives by giving them an amazing story to share with friends and family.
Here because of Tommy singing the beginning of the song on TFL after a video about his used, VERY used, Range Rovers. The Truth About Land Rover Reliability You Don’t Want To Hear.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
One of the most cheesiest song from nickelfag gets 100 million plus views and yet live, Creed, and collective souls hit songs get about 1 or 2 million views yeah that sounds about right 🤔
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 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.
People only hate them because they repeat the same riffs over and over again (they literally use the same WORKING formula) and that Chad is pathetic personally.

Lol i like it to people forget that hes just singing about the life of a rockstar hint why its called rockstar. But they are just to stupid to understand it.
I prefer JamesAtWar’s parody Popstar.
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.
Or more then that
Amen!
Dec. 9, '24. Never understood why so many people don't like Nickelback. They've given us some awesome tunes!
People started saying "Nickelback sucks" because they're sheep with no brain, just following what other people say.
MTV had a show where people were trying to be comedians. One of the comedians jokes (a dude who never made it) was about how he hates Nickelback and they suck. The promo and trailer for the show had this featured on it. So it went "viral" before things were going viral on the internet. Even some celebrities like Adam Sandler jumped in on it, said it live on TV. Other people followed suit...like I said, just like sheep.
Ive never seen a band so hated yet so liked at the same time
MisterBuklau i don’t get it either
@@jamiev2159 Theyre in my 1000 song playlist of rock songs but i just skip over their songs 99% of the time its kind of annoying, youre listening to some normal normal rock song like styx or tom petty next thing you know youve got savin' me by nickelback screaming in your ear...
its like no, Im not hearing that **Skip**
Lmaooo
I partially hated them thinking they only made songs for radio hits until I found out they played in pubs for ten years first and made at least 2 super heavy rock albums first - not radio friendly and after their success made a heavy rock album again a couple of years ago. Matchbox twenty also played in pubs for several years before having a hit sungle or album. So easy to judge quickly right ?

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 😂
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?
Never top it, like fine wine
Don't know Nickelback gets so much hate. Solid band great sound
bullshit
My theory is that they're more successful than their sound suggests. People resent that. It's like the C- student in school becoming a multi-millionaire.

They are hated by fools.
hated by who if you personaly hate them that your prefrence but there not liked cause they don't follow suit in the industry they made they are happy it seems i like there music i think all the rock stars that did what ever you have to keep pleasing there mangers /handlers they it seemed didnt sell out completely others now powerful people are like i had to do this and they said no . no big time for you but they where big time for a bit not saying i know but it seems they came saw made got out maybe they got too deep and just said no they dont like people who think for them selfs now i hear they suck that is personal prefrence i'm sure they dont give a f they done did it and if they where smart will live off there music for the rest of there lives suck or not they seem to be winning

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
Lots of people hate on Nickleback but in this video alone they changed 100s of peoples lives by giving them an amazing story to share with friends and family.

Great White7 I totally agree with you on that one
not sure i agree on the vid.. It's pretty mediocre based on todays standards, although this is a really great song due to the awesome vocals
I mean I dunno, a lot of people in this video were/are already famous so didn't need the help lol

Great song shit video tho lets be honest
How can you not like this?
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.
song for all ages

My daughter introduced me to Nickel Back. She was listening to this. I love this song and Photograph. Thank you Nickel Back.
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.
The haters are just jealous that this song rocks. They mention Elvis, have ZZ Top as the rock Godfather, and rhyme tassels with assholes-GOLD!!!

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!
Nickelback still sucks
The reason people dislike Nickelback has less to do with their music and more to do with them being tremendous douche-wagons.
the best “ROCKSTAR” titled song of all time.
I'm afraid you're actually right...
And ironically it’s the only one that’s actually a rock song

@@ZuperZuck Who tf could've said such a load of crap?

In this current, crazy world, we all need a little Nickelback - I love these guys.
Amen to that
it just takes me back
What a classic! To me this song has not aged a bit. The music and lyrics still spon on!
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 :(
@@kimmmm3n soon people will say the same thing years later about 2020 music, that the new stuff is bad and that music back then was better
@@bighands69 I wouldn't go that far about the 2000s what about linkin park, three days grace, evanescence, saliva, disturbed
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.
Great message. Who needs to try to do anything useful to society when you can just try to be a rockstar?
