Fun fact: the guitar solo is ACTUALLY Dimebag Darrell himself. It’s a solo he recorded for VDoP, but never used it. Vinnie Paul gave the recording to Nickelback and allowed him to use it.
For those that don't know, this is a tribute song for Darrell "Dimebag" Lance Abbott. Dime was the guitarist for a metal band called Pantera, after their break up, dime and his brother vinnie started a band called damageplan, one night when the band was playing at a concert, an ex marine went on stage and shot dime to death in front of his brother and many people! R.I.P Dimebag
Unlike a lot of people I'm actually a big fan of Nickelback. I'm very disappointed in the stuff they've been doing the past couple years but their songs like this reminds me how good they were when they first came out.
@@vegetaultrainstinct5815 Are you trying to troll us? This means war is a) an Avenged Sevenfold song that sounds close to Sad but True by Metallica and b) a totally different song by Nickelback.
Ditto. Never a fan of this band but they were the only ones to come out with a song about Dime. Respect Nickelback Never thought i would say that haha RIP Dime
KillaRock881 Dude, they are definitely not the only ones to write a tribute song about Dimebag Darrell. "In This River" by Black Label Society, "In The End" by Anthrax, "Betrayed" by Avenged Sevenfold, just to name a few tributes to him.
This song fills me with an extreme amount of rage and sadness. Hits me hard. Long Time Pantera fan, Nickleback did an amazing job on this song, don't care what anybody says, will always respect them for this.
Awesome to read this kind of stuff man. This song is a fucking heavy hitter for sure. Those riffs do great justice to Dime, and of course his solo thrown in there is just otherworldly.
Too much elitism amongst metal heads. Nickelback are a great band regardless of popularity bullshit. They were *very* good friends with Dimebag and the Pantera boys and it obviously devastated them just as much as us fans when we lost Dime. This tribute is great and for several reasons. Firstly its an awesome song, secondly, its a tribute to the legend himself, thirdly, Vinnie Paul respected these dudes enough to kindly donate various Dimebag solos to the band to create a killer lead for this song. (So if you love Pantera, you can't hate this as it contains Vulgar Display & Far Beyond Driven Outtakes & Vinnie was asked to play drums on it but said the drum tracks were perfect already so he donated the solo outtakes instead) and lastly, its a middle finger to all the metal elitists who think you *have* to hate everything excluding metal to be a true metal fan. In the words of the great Morpheous himself "What if I told you..... you can like more than 1 genre of music" lol
+LambOfLucifer Dude take your common sense and shove it up your arse. This is the internet. Either you rage, act like like self-centered elitist, gratuitously insult people or you don't have a place among us. I joke, of course dude :D I totally agree with what you said. Respect.
+LambOfLucifer Hating a band because it isn't groove enough for you?...stupid children with too much hostility without foundation or object. They have nothing useful to do and for sure don't mind the music. Do not waste your time in explanations.
I don't listen to this band as much as I used to, but this song still kicks ass. We lost a great Musician the day this song talks about. RIP Dimebag. One of the best guitarists there's ever been.
I know we all hate on Nickelback, but they were friends with Pantera. Vinnie gave them permission to use this Dimebag solo, and even though they asked him to play the drums on the track, he said that Daniel Adair (Nickelback's drummer) was good enough for it.
Have you checked out the whole Feed the Machine album? Most of the songs are heavier than the ones on No Fixed Address. I guess Nickelback has returned to their heavier roots.
In the studio recording (here) Chad recorded the harmonies. His brother Mike and Ryan Peake and Daniel Adair sing them live with Side Of A Bullet it’s very typical for most bands
Do u know who this song is written about or even have a clue as to who it's about? I'm just curious.... Because obviously everybody else does know ^^^^ if not u REALLY need to check your music history!! 😊it's about one of the most amazing guitarist DIMEBAG DARRELL LANCE ABBOTT from PANTERA!!!😊 best guitarist EVER!!:) look him and the band up u will be amazed I promise!!:)
Holy shit man, a lot has changed since I heard this song. I was probably 14 last time I heard it, now I'm 31 and a huge Pantera/Dimebag fan.... dude. How am I just now finding out about the meaning behind this song, fucking A... Rest in peace Dime.
I've must have heard this song a million times on the radio and never paid attention to the lyrics i never knew this was about The Legendary Dimebag Darrell May he Rest in Peace 🍻🥃🥃
I personally don't like nickelback, and I don't like to say it anymore because everyone says they hate them without reason, just cause everyone else does, but this doesn't really sound like them, it's different, plus it has a dime solo in it, and it's about dime. it's a great song, and a great tribute to him. I like it, despite not liking nickelback.
That's not what he said... he said he doesn't like to talk about not liking Nickelback because so many other people do so without reason. Learn to read
I know this post was made 2 years ago, but you should really check out some of their earlier stuff, they were very post grunge/post hardcore... Songs like Animals, their cover of Saturday's Alright (For Fighting), Flat on the Floor, Because of You, Money Brought, Next Contestant... I think they get a bad name because they tended to release softer songs as singles. But their albums are full of hard rock riffs...
You are not alone. Some people say it's because they rely on songs about drinking & sex, but I think it's the same reason why other people hate Justin Bieber or One Direction, they're just jealous of Nickelback's success.
***** I LOVE nickelback but another reason is because their guitarists are really not that great of musicians but they try to sound so hard of a rock band. also a lot of their songs sound that same. another reason is that they were overplayed as hell the early 2000s, songs like "how you remind me" was played 200 times a day on the radio and people starting to hate them and these days people just jump on the bandwagon and say they "hate" the band when they dont even listen to them or only know 1 song.
***** Everyone hates Nickelback now because their lyrics and music have declined in quality. Nowadays they're seen as cash cows. Sure, their earlier work was and still is great, but with the recent albums they're releasing, Nickelback's sound has turned to "udder" shit. Get it? 'Cause they're cash cows?
I'm not really a Nickelback fan or a Dimebag Darrell fan either. No disrespect to either Nickelback or Dimebag Darrell intended, but as a general rule the type of music they create/created just isn't to my taste. BUT, I LOVE THIS SONG! It's powerful! And Dimebag's guitar playing rocks hard.
I remember listening to this song playing in some random game...i think it was Need For Speed:Wanted,not sure tho.. Oh,and a lil detail some people may know is that this song is talking about the murder of a legendary guitarrist who was shot dead while doing a live show...pretty sad stuff but that's a way to honor the guitarrist ((A little riff from this same guitarrist that was recorded before his murder is used in the middle of this song as well,just to let you know. 2:06)) Thank you Abby for making this video.
As previously stated in these comments, I know all the hate that this band gets. BUT, fellow musicians will more than likely agree that Nickelback is a super-tight band. Listen to some of the live shows. Just a tight as the album. Harmony vocals, timing, lead vocals, all are spot on. That shit is tough to get super clean live.
iam a true 100% metal head.... metal is in my blood in my soul.... i am 38 years old i grew up with the classics.... and i say nickelback isnt the greatest metal band of all time to be honest i dont even consider them metal more hard rock.... but i like them i like more nickelback songs than i hate... so yeah the only reason they are hated is just cause some how somewhere it became cool to hate on nickelback....
Y'know regardless what you think of Nickelback, you gotta admit this song is amazing & a badass tribute to Dimebag. Dimebag Rest In Peace my man. And when I get to Heaven, let me know what you thought of this song & Nickelback.
I drove a hundred miles out of my way when I was with covenant transport. Just so I could see dimes grave. I didn’t get fired but it wouldnt have mattered to me. I got to visit the grave of the greatest metal guitarist that ever l

Fun fact: no fucking DUH. are you 12?
It's common sense that Dimebag Darrel wrote this solo, Nickleback has lack of talent for the type of solo.

Why would he do that
+Jordan Russell probably because he had a shit ton of PTSD and possibly just hated dime
Ryan Fishburn I just looked it up....there are multiple reason as to why he killed him and 4 others
+Jordan Russell well, now you know
+Jordan Russell he did because he thought the band could read his mind and that they were stealing his thoughts, dude was insane

simigirl16 yes!!!
I agree 100 with that statement
simigirl16 there songs are not that bad yes the old ones are better but still I am 15 and I love them
This is like 10 years after they formed and many albums.
Good lyrics with a simple message!!
best song Nickelback ever wrote
And very respectful to Dimebag
Definitely the heaviest.
They have heavy songs too, listen to Feed The Machine or This Means War.
@@RiesterMeister this means war is metallica not nickelback

Shinbu1128 in this river was written before Dime was killed. It just happened to be appropriate.
Shinbu1128 in this river wasnt actually written for dime but dedicated to him after he died and had become dimes song

I miss when the band was this heavy
sooo... feed the machine haha
I love that song too

Have you checked out the whole Feed the Machine album? Most of the songs are heavier than the ones on No Fixed Address. I guess Nickelback has returned to their heavier roots.
Heavy?
Rip and thank you nickel back for this meaning full song I cry every time I listen to it
Back when Nickleback was actually heavy.
Retrore Riffs are Nickelback riffs. Only thing our Lord Dime has in this song is the fucking kickass Solo bro
Yeah bro i dont like Nickelback actually but this shit is epic lol
Dude..nickelback was never "heavy"
***** This is actually from the same album as "Rockstar".
+Phallus Cooper Dark Horse came through with some stuff, now on their new album its a mix, more slower than anything
