I find it so ridiculous that Nickelback was swept into a wave of dislike. They have sold 50 million records worldwide and just checking Spotify 10.5 Million monthly listeners.- why ? because people ENJOY the music. Chad is a great singer and the band is talented and they write great songs. Simplistic, Cookie cutter, or what ever the critics say - SO what ? there are many hits that are simple that are based on proven templates. An example - a band that does not deserve their fame - KISS .. they have a few worthy songs but thats it - they suck ! its the theatrics that made them popular - did you ever see a mass uprising against KISS ? To each his own - if you never liked Nickelback music, fine. The problem I have is the sheep-like (people that can not think for themselves) following after some haters started an Anti-Nickelback movement. It somehow became the cool thing to dish them and the uncool thing to like them. So, you were a fan and then you ditch them and follow along ? Rock Radio stations that made good money on them suddenly started advertising (along with of a list of other bands - Michael jackson, etc LOL) that they were Nickelback free ! disgusting. Music is to enjoy - lift your spirit, dance, or chill ! period
@@sydsdh Its mostly due to the ass of a frontman with a raging superiority complex. Other than that their music is simplistic and often trashy. Not a great band all in all but i agree that hating them is just boring now.
@@trtvitor1385 pretty much half of the garbage on the radio now days is simplistic and sounds auto generated so why like that but hate NB. Like others said it is all down to the sheep following the stupid cool trends. No way you can tell me half the music now days is not repetitive and stale. Opinion dictates not talent. My 2 cents
@@shadlad91 Because the frontman is notorious for being an egotistical prat. He has trashed other artists, Led Zeppelin famously, and acts as if he is superior to all other musicians.
It is. I've certainly seen quite a few covers of this one on YT that sucked. This one is one of the better ones. One group (can't recall the name and they're not worth searching because they SUCK ) made a "de-genderized" cover which was the most idiotic thing I've ever listened to.
I ike how they kept the same style without putting too much of their own spin on it. (fan of ZZ Top since the mid 90's because i'm a lot younger than you and my dad has a great taste in music)
I raised my kids up on ZZ Top too. Those of us growing up in the 70's had so many good bands to listen to and go to their concerts. I agree with you that Nickelback showed respect to the song and didn't overpower it with their own spin.
I am 68 old rock aficionado who loves ZZ Top and all that generation's sound. I have just discovered Nickelback believe it or not ... what a musicians they are ... now they made me heavy rock - metal fan as a result of their fantastic enthusiastic performance of this legendary song, congratulations and keep going for more !
Honestly every time I watch this I’m more impressed. Right from the first note out of his mouth you KNEW this was indeed going to be something special. And the smile on Chad’s face at the end shows that he KNOWS they fucking nailed it.
@@raymcconaghy4626 It's simple -people have found a music "Chuck Norris". Chuck Norris was/is a top martial art master - but people find him lame (it's sick BTW).
I hate the mentality people have with supporting Nickelback just because they cover a song well. This could have easily been an original Nickelback song and they would have got crap for it. And don't get me started on when people all of a sudden praise them because they cover a Metallica song well. These people have it in their minds that "heavier" sounding music like Metallica's "Sad But True" is better than lighter sounding. It's such a stupid mentality. If you're gonna hate on anything that sounds lighter than metal, then you might as well be hating on some of the most praised musicians we have had. Nickelback don't deserve the hate. As a musician myself I honestly think Chad is one of the best musicians of the modern rock scene. Much better than the likes of Dave Grohl and Corey Taylor, that's for sure. I understand some people will be gobsmacked at this comment. But i'm only giving my point of view as a singer, guitarist and songwriter. I'm not giving my point of view as someone who reads what a hater on the internet says with loads of upvotes and then forms my opinion from reading their upvoted comment thinking it's the right view and then going on to regurgitate it influencing more people to have the same stupid, negative view.
I haven't read all the comments but I am probably one of the few metal heads that have mad respect for Nickleback. They put in the work and ground it to the top. Great cover!
same I nearly got all the albums 5 on ipod and 2 on cd ones a collection of songs though, the ones on the ipod have a few missing songs but that's whatever.
It's not so much the bands music or even the band itself, its reputation is more from the fact Chad Kroeger was an absolute prick for a long time and did alot of bad things, including being extremely disrespectful to fans. The music was still good and the rest of the band didn't deserve to suffer for it.
@@parkerwinkelman3007 well, didn't help his career out. Pretty sure they helped him out 😂 but yeah, ruin of many a half decent musician. That's the sad thing, doesn't even happen to just the good ones anymore.
It takes the audience half a moment to realize that this cover is going to be ON FIRE but when they do they are all in AND THEN the guitar solo totally blows the roof off of everything and they go crazy! Great job Nickelback.
I'm not going to lie, I've always felt it was a promotional/publicity thing. I'm 27, every single person I knew, grew up jammin this. They all pretend to hate them now, but if I turn them on, they are the first ones singing. It's silly, but whatever. Rock on.
Chad Kroger has one of the best voices in the world. he can sing anything from ZZ Top to metallica to country. He can change up his voice to suit any song. Phenomenal!!!
obviously you have never heard Corey Taylor Sing ! Taylor was also found, by VVN Music, to possess the second-widest vocal range of any known singer in popular music with a range of five and a half octaves. Fact! Go ahead look it up.... I'll wait :) Chad Krogers voice sounds exactly the same in every song he has ever sang ... plus his original songs are sooo...... blahhhhh . That is all :)
Check out all the haters. Even after so many years, Chad and the band STILL get so many sad case haters who dribble sh*t and troll on their YT videos. If that's all you knobs have got going on in your lives, and you're not out there making millions on the global stage yourselves.. then you hating trolls are just a bunch of sad losers on RUclips. And that's all you will ever be. 🤣🤣🤣
@@mistybise6850 there must be something wrong with your ears because Chad sounds different in almost every Nickelback album and always sounds awesome. And Corey Taylor is nothing compared to Chad 🤣
The reason I love this cover is the extra dimension that Chad’s rhythm guitar adds .. that driving “chug chug” is HUGE. Oh, and they nail the rest as well… the bassist has even got the Dusty “dance” goin’ on.
It's not very often a ZZ Top is done as good as the original, if not better, by another band. Not much of a fan of new milennium alternative rock bands, but Nickelback totally nailed this.
Nickel back is one of the best bands to see live! Seen them 5 times way back in the day when they hit the big time. Great band, great music, great live, Kroger’s voice is unique and badass and this video should convince anyone of that! 😎
Anybody who thinks Nickelback is irrelevant or a band to make fun of is a real dumbo. From their very beginning, it is obvious that they are extremely a cut above and full of musical excellence!
They do sound amazing, but every bands popularity is made from their art and and media image. Nickelback is a very good band, but their image is pulling them down, because Chad is considered to be a douche.
+Rat Trap Allow me to explain the "hate" then. They have proven themselves to be proficient musicians (especially when watching covers like this one), but when it comes to their own music they willingly choose to write crap for the ears of the lowest common denominator.
Love it. Sounds a bit faster and a bit more powerful. And no discussions about Nickelbacks skills. Both versions are awesome and make me going crazy. Well done.
I am 62 years old and have been around music for a long time. I don't know how any one single performance by anyone group can get much better than this.
Lee Baker Check out any song from Stevie Ray Vaughan "Live at the El Mocambo" Small club setting, but still rocking the house. While this was very good from Nickelback, the musicianship was lacking.
After watching the 2015 VMAs, this is fucking amazing. I never thought I'd be longing for the days when Nickelback was huge, but I am. Any real rock in the mainstream would be nice, thank you.
Recently (I know, I know) stumbled upon this cover and thought holy crap! I listened to ZZ Top back in the day and I love this version. Can't stop listening to it. Chad Kroeger has one of the best male rock voices.
Whatever you say about Nickelback, to do a cover tribute this good means you know a fair bit of rock. ZZtop are legends, and Nickelback did them proud.
Oh my gosh. He did an excellent job on this song . You have to give him a lot of credit for this song. Nickelback, and ZZ Top are and always will be great bands 👍
I grew up listening to Nickelback, and I always remember as a kid, not understanding the hate they get. Burn It To The Ground is still one of the best Stadium/Arena anthems created!
Once again I am blown away by how good Nickleback sound when they don't play their own music... This is the best dam cover I have EVER heard.Couldn't have chosen a better band to do this.
Totally agree!!!! I just hate watching the crowd rocking out to this hated band. Lol!!! This was a great performance by "that band". As for me, i love Nickelback.
I don’t see why everyone hates them, I really think it’s just cause one person said and everyone just followed along, like how can you not jam out to nickelback
Best cover ever no disrespect to ZZTop but Nickelback kicks ass on this OK Nickelback, you got me with this one. That was awesome. This is the best dam cover I have EVER heard.Couldn't have chosen a better band to do this.

I listened to ZZ Top back in the day and I love this version. Can't stop listening to it. Chad Kroeger has one of the best male rock voices.
OK Nickelback, you got me with this one. That was awesome.
ZZ-top would deserve this kind of honouring especially now

I'm not the biggest Nickelback fan but even I can admit that they did a great job covering an absolute classic here.
Whatever you say about Nickelback, to do a cover tribute this good means you know a fair bit of rock. ZZtop are legends, and Nickelback did them proud.
👍
Been hooked with ZZ since Eliminator and normally prefer the original, but THAT was bulls eye, man.
Theses guys do this song better then anyone short of ZZ Top. 👍🏻
I think Nickelback enjoyed that every bit as much as the crowd did. Absolutely took the fucking roof off 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nope. Can't disrespect it. They owned it that night!! Well Done!
I'm not much for Nickelback but I got to say this is SOLID and PROPER and the chicks are digging it !
They didn't "own" anything.
Oh my gosh. He did an excellent job on this song . You have to give him a lot of credit for this song. Nickelback, and ZZ Top are and always will be great bands 👍
They rocked the song. ZZ Top would be proud! My question is how can anybody give this song a thumbs down?
They killed it. One of the best covers ever.
I grew up listening to Nickelback, and I always remember as a kid, not understanding the hate they get. Burn It To The Ground is still one of the best Stadium/Arena anthems created!
Best ZZ cover I’ve ever heard. Love that Nickelback and ZZ have history together too 🤘🏼
I refer you to Rich K and the Allnighters
Goosebumps, amazing cover to an amazing band. ZZ would be proud.
DEF ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OUT THERE! 😍YOU GO GUYS!!!!
Wow.... I grew up listening to ZZ Top but this is just 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
i am blown away at this performance. nickelback killed this!
Great live performance!
I'm sorry but if you can be a legit hater of this song after that second guitar solo I don't know what to tell you. That solo fuckin rips
@ludde 1891 show us how it´s done then.
@ludde 1891 you wanna meet and say that to my face keyboard warrior? If not then stfu and prove to us you play the guitar better!
Man that is Righteous! Nicely Done ✅
The singing, the guitar playing, they nailed it all! Just don't know what the deal is with the hatred for this band.
I totally agree....people just like to hate...great job on this song
Correct!
They were stigmatized in their later years for repeating the same three notes and producing "commercial" songs that were quick moneymakers.
@@akiman712 didn't ZZ Top do the same thing too?? About the 3 chords part??
@@akiman712 AC/DC too yet people don't hate them
Great cover by a top notch band. Well done! Nickelback.
Once again I am blown away by how good Nickleback sound when they don't play their own music...
This is the best dam cover I have EVER heard.Couldn't have chosen a better band to do this.
... Their own songs sound great as well once you get past the old hating trend. Listen to ”Follow You Home”, it’s amazing
❤ I been digging their music, long time. Don't know why some people hate them. They are a great Canadian Band!!!
The people that hate them are those rap /crap so called music people who listens to daddy's crap music
I didn't mean too, but I just kept turning the volume up. Jesus this is GOLD!
2020 and still loving the most hated band long live rock
Totally agree!!!! I just hate watching the crowd rocking out to this hated band. Lol!!! This was a great performance by "that band". As for me, i love Nickelback.
Nickelback 4 Life
I don’t see why everyone hates them, I really think it’s just cause one person said and everyone just followed along, like how can you not jam out to nickelback
Standing there right with you and loving them as well! They f*ckin ROCK 🤘
Love "lullaby"
Y r ppl hatin on nickleback?? Guy have respect for these people. They are some REAL ARTISTS unlike all those Auto Tuners.
Best cover ever of this song, Nickelback blew it out of the water, ❤
Probably the best cover I've ever seen. Period.
Feel sorry for whoever had to follow this, my God what a performance!
That’s one solid performance absolutely amazing!
THUMBS UP IF YOUR LISTENING IN 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤟🤣🤟
Smashing song to listen to. Puts you in a good mood of course..... Have fun for 2020!!! Smiles!!!!!
Nice copy and pasted comment bro.
Freddie Mercury..... that’s the joke bro!!!
20.....?
You stole my comment! Watch out out for 2021 you hack!!!
Two guitars really make a great song cook. Wow. This is a gold-star cover!
Best cover ever no disrespect to ZZTop but Nickelback kicks ass on this
OK Nickelback, you got me with this one. That was awesome.
This is the best dam cover I have EVER heard.Couldn't have chosen a better band to do this.
You're damn right
You're damn wrong.
You're absolutely RIGHT!!!
I agree
Chad Kroger is a great guitarist!!!!
Love Nickelback, or hate Nickelback, you have to respect a cover this badass!! - from a lifelong ZZ Top nut.
They burned it DOWN!
Glad I saw this. ... 10 years later haha, still legit
This replenished an nth of testosterone. We need more of that across the board.
Effing rights. Amen to this 🙌
U MUST B ONE OF THSE LBGTQ ADVOCATS WOW WHAT PROGRESS
