When Chad talks about not shrouding his lyrics in metaphor, I have to say that it is very true, especially in the new album.The song "Home" reflects almost everything that my sister has done to throw her life away with drug and alcohol addictions, even with so many people trying to help her. I've been defending Nickelback for years now to people who cant relate (as you talked about as well), and never once did I doubt the truth and power behind the stories in each and every one of their songs. I will listen to these guys for the rest of time, even if it means I get mocked by the ignorant.
I love these guys just recently started listening to them again love their music. This interview was awesome.i have been a fan for awhile but here lately even more I listen to their music. Their music like photograph among others have so much meaning
ok. every person who works in music press, should watch this interviewer and see how GOOD this guy is. i rarely come across a guy who really nails interviews, but this guy is just fantastic!!! q, you guys have a true talent!!
My favourite Memory of how you Remind me is sitting in my best friends car, Jam packed with our friends, more people in the car then legally allowed and all of us are just belting it out. Just rocking out to 1 song that was making us all so happy. It's a great memory of being a dumb teenager, thanks!
Amazing interview. I've been a fan of these guys for almost 20 years and it's really refreshing to hear them open up instead of the usual rehearsed soundbite stuff. Great job with the interview and thank you for posting this!
ryan is spot on about what it is that fans get that the critics dont. I always liked nickelback, then i got tickets to see them for my bday, and was blown away by how great they were(and still are). since that concert nickelback have been my favourite band! except for maybe pink floyd!!😏 great interview.
Man! I have 'Feed the Machine' in my playlist right now. But I think I'm gonna put back the rest of the discography in my phone. Chad Kroger is probably my favourite songwriter
Something i noticed in this interview, is the admiration the other band members have and the trust they have in Chad, to allow him to just create and give him the ball to create and they will just back him up. Knowing his talent. So important to leave the EGO at the door. Same with Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Matt Stone KNOWS Trey is the golden boy and should just be left to his devices but hes there to back him up, give ideas and keep up, a little.
What do we as fans love about Nickelback? Everything! Awesome songs, awesome tunes, the passion they so clearly show. Easy on the eye lol. But mostly the music! As someone slightly older than Chad, its the songs and how awesome they sound that keeps me coming back. Having listened to their whole catalogue, i havent heard one song that i felt i needed to skip.
It's actually rare to see an interview and the interviewer actually knows his stuff, It's so boring even for the band to answer the same question in every place they go for interview, but you guys...wonderful job! you've asked many questions that were actually interesting, and also you got Chad sing his very first song! What more can we ask? Well done!
I literally hate the 'HATE' that Nickelback receives. Completely unwarranted. Like I'm talking about there NOT being one ounce of legitimacy behind any criticism of this band. It's all social bandwagon bullshit I'll tell you right now, I'm not a fanboy of Nickelback - growing up I listened to Pantera, Sepultra, Danzig, Black Sabbath, ACDC, STP, Metallica, Slayer, Corrosion of Conformity, GnR, Bon Jovi, The Haunted, The Misfits, The Police, The Stones, The Beatles, Elvis, fucking Robert Johnson... and Nickelback is absolutely in the same family of the aforementioned legacy of rock and blues artists. If you have a distaste for this band, you're part of the population that is simple as fuck; and has been tricked into casually dismissing the band as shit, without listening to their albums. Your opinion has been sculpted by their ballads that were played on top 40 radio, (you listen to top 40 radio? - I completely trust your opinions in music though...) anyway... Or where else did you hear about Nickelback? Your drunken uncle Tommy, who was annoyed by hearing 'How You remind Me" on the radio in 2001 too many times, and said it was shit...and then you heard it...and said....yeah uncle Tommy, you're right. This is shit. Well... all I can say to the people who thoughtlessly label this band as pure shit in today's dying rock scene... 'YOU'RE the reason why EDM and Hip Hop, and Dubstep (or whatever is currently popular) is devouring the market.' Your godamn apathy and stupidity combined... " liking metal and rock, but disliking Nickelback" - while the whole entire empire of heavy music is dying...you can consider yourself directly responsible for Rock and Metal being completely wiped off the face of the planet in 2043 AD...
I think there great. I'm not sure why people complain I mean if I don't like a group I don't go around telling people that there bad or terrible because there is just no point that.
Completely agree. My first concert was Billy Joel, then Billy Squier, then ACDC. The years that followed were just about every major rock band, Van Halen, Bon Jovi etc. etc. I've seen Nickelback several times now. Critique if you must, but I've got a lot to compare to, and there's very few bands that can do it live like them. The only thing (I think), that they take seriously is their musicianship. Rock is dying, too quickly I might add. I for one, am not going to pay money to see a studio band behind an auto-tuned singer.
im not really a fan of this band but not really a fan of most bands but i agree and don't understand all of the hate. its mob mentality socially. really stupid and disappointing to see it over the years. this band writes killer hit songs. period.
I am 46 and love the heavy metal groups of my generation. When you guys first started I had already moved on to other genres so I missed out on you basically because they was no good heavy metal to listen to. But, with that said, when I did discover your music about 7 years ago I was hooked instantly and I am so glad that you are still here making new music. I really think people of my generation and the younger kids will enjoy your sound and lyrics...I think you'll be around for a long time...please don't stop!!! I LOVE your new music...Chad, you have a superpower voice and it touches my soul. Thank you! I also really LOVE the guitar riffs...both of these together give your band such a one of a kind sound that many of us love. Good luck!
I just had to add, in thinking, you know Cobb Mtn, and Middletown here in NorCali, were lost to the Valley Fire here in Sept. 12 '15, 2000 of us lost our homes, so the show you-guys did@ Konocti Harbor will be a special memory forever! I am a disabled Vet, and owned my 1st home when I retired up on Cobb Mtn, It was absolutely beautiful, snow, deer, pines and all, best time of my life w/my kids, the video "Far Away" means so much to me because I WILL NEVER be able to thank all the firefighters enough, who were injured, and lost their lives, we had 4 mins to get out and the fire was literally burning right behind my truck as we fled, the firefighters in that video just make me cry w/great fullness, and thankfulness, they are the truest of heroes! Loved Hesher and Curb, couldn't get copies anywhere, to rare, loved Leader of Men, going to try and see you-guys for the first time once again since your show here in Lake County, in my opinion, your earlier music, Hesher especially were like
I really agree, I used to be one of those guys that would mercilessly poke fun at Nickelback until I actually took the time to listen and realized that they made so many great classic songs. I think that people are starting to come around to that
jam e lumtur qe shoh Nickelback , ata kan ide orgjinale dhe sjellin risi te reja , zeri i tyre kenaq shpirtin tim ..... Ju pershendes nga ALBANIA ....Nickelback Best Band In The World
Honestly, when I heard how you remind me, I constantly confused it for Savin me. Now that I've heard it, it's probably one of my favorite songs of all time. I never really gave it the recognition other people gave it until 2016.
This was an incredible interview. It was a respectful and honest conversation, which seems rare these days! Great job! I have been a Nickelback fan since the beginning, and they just keep getting better.
I, for one, will never understand the hate. I've been a rocker all my life and I think Nickelback is truly one of the best around today. Killer licks and meaningful lyrics. Thanks for the interview.
I don’t care who you guys are if ur the young generation or the old generation I grew up listening to nickleback I don’t understand why theses guys are hated so much they make awesome songs there songs personality for me are better than the songs are out today I’ll gladly listen to nickelback than any other artists today theses guys are awesome
Loved this, Chad and Ryan, very down to earth, if people talk shit, it's because they are jealous of your success, saw you-guys at Konocti Harbor Resort, when it was still open 😥 on the band's Long Road tour, here in NorCali, one of the best concerts I've ever been to, awesome venue, had 3rd row seats, I had SO MUCH fun, and I'm a gal that saw Van Halen at the Oakland Coliseum, n '80, and so many shows over the yrs., My 24 yr old son really loves your music too, and he's an Folk/indie Rock fan, everyone has to just love music, all kinds, from Miles Davis, to the Stones, Stevie Ray, Metallica, Nirvana and never to forget the mighty CASH, rip, to today, I've been a music lover all my life, and will 'til the day I move on, keep rockin' guys, we LUV you!! A Forever NorCali fan!
just went to their concert in September....the best i've ever been to! we had tickets for the show in Mountain View, CA on June 24th 2015, the day the group cancelled their tour for Chad's surgery. It was my daughter's 21st birthday and we had back stage meet and greet passes. We were devastated, but so glad they came back again!!!!
I would love to see Chad's first song he ever wrote on a future album, I absolutely love Nickelback and am looking forward also to their next tour because I am going to purchase a VIP ticket, considering they have been my favorite band since the album Silver side up and have only seen them once. I am 57 and have had 2 strokes I want to meet them before I am unable to stand or walk just in case I have another stroke and am not as lucky as the 2 strokes only affected me mentally and fortunately not physically
I liked going to NB concerts and it has been almost a decade since I last went. I will say they are entertainers for sure. They put on a good show but I do not want to go again until they play songs that are not just singles. Yes, singles are what most people know but as a fan they do have other songs that would sound amazing live. I mean you could turn on 5 radio stations and you will hear NB eventually but to watch a live song that is not on the radio is what I would enjoy more than singles. And if I had a time machine I would definitely go to that chinese restaurant concert.
They don't deserve the hate that is thrust upon them. People say that their music all sounds the same, that they figured out a formula and just repeat it over and over but other bands like BonJovi or Def Leppard have done the same thing so why doesn't anyone hate on them? They are a rock band who put on a rock show and give 150% at each show. They also happen to be really nice and friendly people who always have time for their fans so I don't get all the hate. We could have much worse representing our country.
This was an awesome interview, wasn't the same old recycled questions. If you ever get the chance to interview them like this again I think it would be cool if you went album to album through their discography and ask them the feelings they get when they think of each body of work. From the early Hesher EP and Curb albums all the way through. I really think it would be neat. You asked so many questions that made me go, wow, that's a good question, i'm glad he asked that. Well done sir, new subscriber :)
U can ask me!!! Im a huge fan of Nickelback!!!---- the reason i love Nickelback's music is because it feels like someone is listening to u when ur having a bad day like the song understands what u are going through it almost feels like ur listening to a close friend or family member in some of the songs. Also how truthful the music is to society.
Chad has an amazing voice and I was so worried when he had surgery to remove cyst that he wouldn't be the same...but he recovered very well & came back strong, thankfully. 💙
Love his voice and where he is taking his music. Why would anyone hate him or his music, he is just a guy that is just like us by is gifted with a voice that is so unique than other rock bands. I believe that jealousy is the factor for this haters. I listened to the group that thinks they are better songwriters. have watched his interviews and he seems like a down to earth guy not an ego maniac. It's time for the hate crap to stop. I am from the 1980's where pink Floyd, ACDC, Led Zeplin, Ozzy and more great bands were music that is still being played today regardless of the generation gap.
This is such an awesome interview. I got a kick out of the idea that European parents got their kids interested in Nickelback. In our house, it was my teenage daughter that got me into Nickelback. It is incredibly interesting to me how my daughters and I all like Canadian bands. A few years back, my oldest took me to see Bryan Adams, it was one of the best nights of my life. My youngest and I need to go see Nickelback together! I just love listening to them in the car with her and we sing at the top of our lungs and just make memories. Life is good!
Ryan is spot on! Their live shows are like no other!! I've seen many bands live from all genres but nothing with beat Nickelback live their CD's don't give their talent justice! You can't judge them till you have seen them live!
Love Nickelback so very much and I miss them. I do hope that they are enjoying the tour that they are on. I also hope that Nickelback will be coming back to Australia, Melbourne because when they played back in 2015 in May, I was so excited that it was my first NB concert. Love you Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger & Daniel Adair. 😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼
I love Nickelback, basically I grew up listening their music and I have this dream singing with them on stage or wright a song with them. They have been an inspiration for me.
So glad that I came across this interview!! Getting excited to see Nickelback in Saratoga Springs, NY!! I've been a fan from the beginning and with every new album, I still relate to their songs. Also seeing them perform live to me is even better than listening to the record. They bring it every time and to me, that is the mark of good music~ When you leave the show satisfied!!
Most of my friends bash The boys but I am a fan and like Jenny said now the new album is popular among those who previously disliked them. And hey they are Canadian I personally am happy they stayed the path and evolved into what they are today. Keep the ball rollin and play more gigs in the London Ontario area plz.
Amazing guys intelligent, nice, introspective and really great storytellers and musicians. I think one of the reasons Are we having fun yet was so huge is because this man was candid enough to lay bare how a woman can annihilate a man with her words, something my husband could not do until well into his sixties.Great band great writing.
I always find the conversation ridiculous when people here on anything. If you don’t enjoy the music, don’t listen. I’m not an artist, I desperately wanted to be one, but I have no talent. But I love huge swaths of different kinds of music, food, friends, work, travel. Just enjoy what you enjoy and leave others to do the same.
After I heard the single feed the machine, I put it into my music library, it's a really good nickelback song, and this was a great interview, I will go look at some other videos on the channel and subscribe!
I'm a Big Fan... I've seen them Live . They really do an awesome show . I agree with Chad I think Critics aren't suppose to like them and they are Blue collar band that most people can identify with ..I will keep buying their Music .
Soooo great and honest interview. Intelligent host making his guests get more and more involved in the conversation. Well done! :) keep looking forward for more ;)
That song Kroger sang really proves that Nickelback CAN do better than they have the last Decade and a half. I really hope they can actually pull something off thats nice and post-grungey for the follow up album to Feed the Machine.
Listened to this interview a couple times since it was posted -actually I I'm pretty sure it's every summer too lol for some odd reason..I love #Nickelback and always have since day 1, plus I've crushed on #ChadKroeger ever since. I really am missing their #ATRR15 concert this summer & wish this pandemic would end so we can all enjoy our lives, support the musicians we like and go crazy.😄 it'd be great to come out of this & hear new music, a new album, from Nickelback. Praying everyone is in good health. Stay safe & healthy everyone.❤
Cont., like so many of the other "Grunge" bands, so u-guys actually departed from that some & had the courage to produce GREAT rock'n'roll, Hopefully I'll beat the crowds and get great tickets again in Mountain View, when u play in NorCali again, your music makes me close my eyes and just ENJOY, so keep putting the rock in good 'ole rock''roll, Warmest to each of you, Becky Halsch 🎶🌝👍🎆
When Chad talks about not shrouding his lyrics in metaphor, I have to say that it is very true, especially in the new album.The song "Home" reflects almost everything that my sister has done to throw her life away with drug and alcohol addictions, even with so many people trying to help her. I've been defending Nickelback for years now to people who cant relate (as you talked about as well), and never once did I doubt the truth and power behind the stories in each and every one of their songs. I will listen to these guys for the rest of time, even if it means I get mocked by the ignorant.
Thanks for sharing, and keep the Nickelback fires burning!
I love these guys just recently started listening to them again love their music. This interview was awesome.i have been a fan for awhile but here lately even more I listen to their music. Their music like photograph among others have so much meaning
ok. every person who works in music press, should watch this interviewer and see how GOOD this guy is. i rarely come across a guy who really nails interviews, but this guy is just fantastic!!! q, you guys have a true talent!!
Cheers! Thanks for checking it out!
My favourite Memory of how you Remind me is sitting in my best friends car, Jam packed with our friends, more people in the car then legally allowed and all of us are just belting it out. Just rocking out to 1 song that was making us all so happy. It's a great memory of being a dumb teenager, thanks!
Thanks for sharing, Tim!
Tim Hodge had the same feeling about photograph, song of one of my fondest summers.
My friends never like Nickelback but I did and I stuck with them. Then feed the machine came out and now it's so popular! :)
BURN IT TO THE GROUND is the
NICKLEBACK'S BEST SONG EVER. it's so ENERGETIC......
Amazing interview. I've been a fan of these guys for almost 20 years and it's really refreshing to hear them open up instead of the usual rehearsed soundbite stuff. Great job with the interview and thank you for posting this!
Cheers! You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

I always liked nickelback, then i got tickets to see them for my bday, and was blown away by how great they were(and still are). since that concert nickelback have been my favourite band! except for maybe pink floyd!!😏 great interview.
They're so self-aware that everyone hates them that they crack jokes about it all the time. That's why I love watching their interviews XD
Ryan is very interesting. I liked his response as to why people love the music.
Love me some Nickelback, great interview, never realized Chad is so well spoken
It's simple Chad! You guys can still fill arenas because you KILL it live! Very few bands can bring it live like Nickleback can.
cheers to the station finding that old video - always loved "Leader of Men"
Man! I have 'Feed the Machine' in my playlist right now. But I think I'm gonna put back the rest of the discography in my phone. Chad Kroger is probably my favourite songwriter
Something i noticed in this interview, is the admiration the other band members have and the trust they have in Chad, to allow him to just create and give him the ball to create and they will just back him up.

Matt Stone KNOWS Trey is the golden boy and should just be left to his devices but hes there to back him up, give ideas and keep up, a little.
Collaboration is an art - and that art helps create more art!
What do we as fans love about Nickelback? Everything! Awesome songs, awesome tunes, the passion they so clearly show. Easy on the eye lol. But mostly the music!

Thank you! Great to hear you enjoyed the interview. :)
q on cbc thank you, hope you get to meet the guys again!
He’s excellent
love you guys. See you in Toronto. You don't deserve any of the negative comments. I'm also proud your Canadian.

I really agree, I used to be one of those guys that would mercilessly poke fun at Nickelback until I actually took the time to listen and realized that they made so many great classic songs. I think that people are starting to come around to that
Feed the machine sounds like a good song I can't wait to hear it in the concert
How can anyone not like this band I think they are great ever time when I am on my boat always play rock star turned all the way up love it
I love Chad, but God damnit I could listen to Ryan talk all day. He seems very insightful.
I raised my kids listening to Nickelback, Evanescence, Linkin Park,Seether, Three Days Grace.
I wish a could go back to the 2000-2006 era
I REALLY want to go back to the 2000 era too. Damn, I miss those decades!
jam e lumtur qe shoh Nickelback , ata kan ide orgjinale dhe sjellin risi te reja , zeri i tyre kenaq shpirtin tim ..... Ju pershendes nga ALBANIA ....Nickelback Best Band In The World

There is not enough Nickelback interviews on the internet! Thank you CBC and Tom!! So happy and proud to have cbc and nickelback all in one room.
I appreciate their insight. I appreciate how real they were in this interview.
Loved this, Chad and Ryan, very down to earth, if people talk shit, it's because they are jealous of your success, saw you-guys at Konocti Harbor Resort, when it was still open 😥 on the band's Long Road tour, here in NorCali, one of the best concerts I've ever been to, awesome venue, had 3rd row seats, I had SO MUCH fun, and I'm a gal that saw Van Halen at the Oakland Coliseum, n '80, and so many shows over the yrs., My 24 yr old son really loves your music too, and he's an Folk/indie Rock fan, everyone has to just love music, all kinds, from Miles Davis, to the Stones, Stevie Ray, Metallica, Nirvana and never to forget the mighty CASH, rip, to today, I've been a music lover all my life, and will 'til the day I move on, keep rockin' guys, we LUV you!! A Forever NorCali fan!
The Way Ryan looks at Chad when he sings 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
The interviewer is absolutely excellent, great work!
Amazing interview...I so love the early day...loved them then...love them now...best interview yet
just went to their concert in September....the best i've ever been to! we had tickets for the show in Mountain View, CA on June 24th 2015, the day the group cancelled their tour for Chad's surgery. It was my daughter's 21st birthday and we had back stage meet and greet passes. We were devastated, but so glad they came back again!!!!
I would love to see Chad's first song he ever wrote on a future album, I absolutely love Nickelback and am looking forward also to their next tour because I am going to purchase a VIP ticket, considering they have been my favorite band since the album Silver side up and have only seen them once. I am 57 and have had 2 strokes I want to meet them before I am unable to stand or walk just in case I have another stroke and am not as lucky as the 2 strokes only affected me mentally and fortunately not physically
I liked going to NB concerts and it has been almost a decade since I last went. I will say they are entertainers for sure.

Yes, singles are what most people know but as a fan they do have other songs that would sound amazing live. I mean you could turn on 5 radio stations and you will hear NB eventually but to watch a live song that is not on the radio is what I would enjoy more than singles. And if I had a time machine I would definitely go to that chinese restaurant concert.
Sounds like a worthy cause to lobby for - start up a Facebook page!
I really love this band their songs are always in my playlist since they started
The minute the dude picks the guitar and start singing... Damm. Super bluesy phrasing , what a talent.
Dude Chad can sing, he's got a really unique voice and he was dead on the notes.
They don't deserve the hate that is thrust upon them. People say that their music all sounds the same, that they figured out a formula and just repeat it over and over but other bands like BonJovi or Def Leppard have done the same thing so why doesn't anyone hate on them?

Welcome to the fold, Mike! We're glad you enjoyed it - and hope you enjoy more of our stuff!
U can ask me!!!

miss them so much they stand out the crowd. love their music. chads voice Always ,,, awesomeee
Chad has an amazing voice and I was so worried when he had surgery to remove cyst that he wouldn't be the same...but he recovered very well & came back strong, thankfully. 💙
Thank you for this interesting interview. One or even the best one of the Nickelback guys so far!
Thank you Chrissy!
I want Guardian Angel to be the next Nickelback single!!
Everybody has to have that desire. Including me.
Me too
Love his voice and where he is taking his music. Why would anyone hate him or his music, he is just a guy that is just like us by is gifted with a voice that is so unique than other rock bands. I believe that jealousy is the factor for this haters. I listened to the group that thinks they are better songwriters. have watched his interviews and he seems like a down to earth guy not an ego maniac. It's time for the hate crap to stop. I am from the 1980's where pink Floyd, ACDC, Led Zeplin, Ozzy and more great bands were music that is still being played today regardless of the generation gap.
This is such an awesome interview. I got a kick out of the idea that European parents got their kids interested in Nickelback. In our house, it was my teenage daughter that got me into Nickelback. It is incredibly interesting to me how my daughters and I all like Canadian bands. A few years back, my oldest took me to see Bryan Adams, it was one of the best nights of my life. My youngest and I need to go see Nickelback together! I just love listening to them in the car with her and we sing at the top of our lungs and just make memories. Life is good!
Ryan is spot on! Their live shows are like no other!! I've seen many bands live from all genres but nothing with beat Nickelback live their CD's don't give their talent justice!
You can't judge them till you have seen them live!
Love Nickelback so very much and I miss them. I do hope that they are enjoying the tour that they are on. I also hope that Nickelback will be coming back to Australia, Melbourne because when they played back in 2015 in May, I was so excited that it was my first NB concert.
Love you Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger & Daniel Adair. 😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼😍❤️🎸😎🤘🏼
Well Done! One of the best interviews I have seen. Kudos to the interviewer for asking meaningful questions.
Cheers! That's what we go for around here!
The best band Live I have ever seen!! There is crazy chemistry on stage! 🤘🏼
Chad please turn guardian angel into a song sounds so good
I love Nickelback, basically I grew up listening their music and I have this dream singing with them on stage or wright a song with them. They have been an inspiration for me.
So glad that I came across this interview!! Getting excited to see Nickelback in Saratoga Springs, NY!! I've been a fan from the beginning and with every new album, I still relate to their songs. Also seeing them perform live to me is even better than listening to the record. They bring it every time and to me, that is the mark of good music~ When you leave the show satisfied!!
Thankyou for posting this.
You're most welcome!
Coolest band, and really awesome interview! Enjoyed this one very much! I've been Nickelback's fan for a long time, since 2011, I guess.
Critics have an agenda. Nickelback produce great songs that stand the test of time.
Love this band!!!'
I don’t understand how people don’t like them. They are super talented
He's basically a heavy metal singer with a country voice...I'm cool with that.
I love the way Chad Kroeger sounds. And that’s exactly my thought!
Never again, my favourite song
Most of my friends bash The boys but I am a fan and like Jenny said now the new album is popular among those who previously disliked them. And hey they are Canadian I personally am happy they stayed the path and evolved into what they are today. Keep the ball rollin and play more gigs in the London Ontario area plz.
Amazing guys intelligent, nice, introspective and really great storytellers and musicians. I think one of the reasons Are we having fun yet was so huge is because this man was candid enough to lay bare how a woman can annihilate a man with her words, something my husband could not do until well into his sixties.Great band great writing.
I love this interview - can't wait to see them October 1st in Vancouver!!
3:52 that’s the Nickelback we miss. Please that back. Include that in the new album 😍
Best interview ever.
Why thank you so much :)
I always find the conversation ridiculous when people here on anything. If you don’t enjoy the music, don’t listen. I’m not an artist, I desperately wanted to be one, but I have no talent. But I love huge swaths of different kinds of music, food, friends, work, travel. Just enjoy what you enjoy and leave others to do the same.
I appreciate a good interviewer.
Damn good band.Listen every day while driving.
Lyrics and rocking music.together it's great
EDMONTON TOMORROW!!!! so excited
After I heard the single feed the machine, I put it into my music library, it's a really good nickelback song, and this was a great interview, I will go look at some other videos on the channel and subscribe!
23.40 says it all. I can't imagine anyone not having a good time at a Nickelback show.....
I just love this band.
Great interview
Thank you!
I'm a Big Fan... I've seen them Live . They really do an awesome show . I agree with Chad I think Critics aren't suppose to like them and they are Blue collar band that most people can identify with ..I will keep buying their Music .
Sooo stinkin talented!!
Soooo great and honest interview. Intelligent host making his guests get more and more involved in the conversation. Well done! :) keep looking forward for more ;)
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you come back for more!
That song Kroger sang really proves that Nickelback CAN do better than they have the last Decade and a half. I really hope they can actually pull something off thats nice and post-grungey for the follow up album to Feed the Machine.
Really!! Go away.....
Absolute magic and open hearted guys!
21:53 BEAUTIFULLY put
Listened to this interview a couple times since it was posted -actually I I'm pretty sure it's every summer too lol for some odd reason..I love #Nickelback and always have since day 1, plus I've crushed on #ChadKroeger ever since. I really am missing their #ATRR15 concert this summer & wish this pandemic would end so we can all enjoy our lives, support the musicians we like and go crazy.😄 it'd be great to come out of this & hear new music, a new album, from Nickelback. Praying everyone is in good health. Stay safe & healthy everyone.❤
Cont., like so many of the other "Grunge" bands, so u-guys actually departed from that some & had the courage to produce GREAT rock'n'roll, Hopefully I'll beat the crowds and get great tickets again in Mountain View, when u play in NorCali again, your music makes me close my eyes and just ENJOY, so keep putting the rock in good 'ole rock''roll, Warmest to each of you, Becky Halsch 🎶🌝👍🎆
I love nickelback music and they good and I really want go to see nickelback
I do not know why people hate nickelback
London soon please
Yes! These guys are out here 🙏🏽 thanks bros

Chads brother makes up his own words. Cool 🌈
3:39 is the moment you’ll hear when it releases someday.

Thanks!
