As bad as the last Spider-Man movie was, just be grateful it wasn't made even worse by having THIS abomination in it.
Fuck Nickelback.

To be honest if you added the guy from Smash Mouth to this it would probably be meme gold.
i know they got memed for ONE GODDAMN SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you throw that out you might have something
It even includes the lyric "Someone told me"
Sinan Cem Çetin it pretty much already is
It already is, I mean, it has members from some of the worst bands in the early 2000's.
How can the eagle fly if you hold on to its wings?
Its a reference from the bible.
Shitty book in a shitty song... figures
How can you be so high, you can see heaven, but heaven can't see you?
When I hear the lyric, it reminds me of the joke from Family Guy where Peter Griffin rides on the back of Falcor while Peter’s weight causes Falcor to crash onto the ground.
I swear to God I heard this song everywhere on youtube. people would take scenes of superhero movies with either
1. hero by skillet
2.monster by skillet
3. hero by Chad and Josey
or BMTL by evanescence
and play it in the background. remember those times?
Like any Linkin Park song for DBZ and Naruto AMV's.
There goes my hero
I'm surprised they didn't include "Holding Out for a Hero"
hero by skillet was at least good
Ugh, don't even get me started on Monster. I could rant all day and night about how that song is basically a carbon copy of "Animal I Have Become". Of all the bands out there you could've ripped off, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU PICK THREE DAYS GRACE?!
I guess I have to be that guy: I love this song. I loved it in 2002 and I love it now 17 years later
He has no idea what he’s talking about and just shits on everything it’s called being a cynical asshole
Honestly Im one of those people who had completely forgotten it’s existence since the year it came out until I saw this video. I remember now though that it was everywhere.
The solo on nirvanas come as you are as more complexity then the one in this song at the solo is literally Kurt gliding his fingers back and forth on the g strings between riffs.
Not to mention, the lyrics are MUCH better than hero
cause cOmPleX mEaNs gOoD right?
@@DigitalBath306 The riff from Hero isn't bad, it just is paired with poor and boring music and vocals. If it were in something more interesting, say acoustic or psychedelic, it would be decent.
CRASH when i looked up "tip fedora" on google images, you show up pretty high on the search
AHAHAHAHAHA I JUST FOUND IT THAT'S AMAZING
SQUIDWARDS HOUSE IN THE HOOOOOOOOOOOOUSE
AAAYYYYYYYYYYY
I didn't find it.
@@Dumb_Killjoy you missed the joke
but supermassive black hole is a great song
AGREED.
Oh, fuck yeah. He was talking in the cosmic, EAT ALL THE SUNS DEATH TO THE GALAXY sense.
I love this song, and I love Muse.
Until Twilight ruined it.
I actually had to pause the video at the "Do they know it's Christmas" line, cause I was laughing so hard I couldn't hear what you were saying. Well played, good sir. Well. Played.
+Jaspertine Ain't I a stinker. 😉
@@CrashThompson 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have heard that Bob Geldof himself hates "Do They Know It's Christmas."
This is actually a guilty pleasure song for me as I grew up with the movie and soundtrack. But 2 things. 1.) Yeah Stone Temple Pilots song is a million times better and 2.) The Spider-Man 2 soundtrack is a lot better than this one. I actually really like Vindicated and Hold On by Jet is a beautiful song
Smile Empty Soul's Who I Am is my personal favorite on the Spider-Man 2 track.
Mine's "The Night the Lights went out in NYC" by Ataris. I wish "She Spider" by Mew would have made it too, but it was only on the Japanese version, despite Mew being from Denmark.
Woman by Maroon 5 is my favorite on the Spiderman two soundtrack
Yeah, STP's all in the suit that you wear would have been a great track that they could have added to the Soundtrack, instead they omitted it.
Absolutely agree
Dear god, my pre pubescent ass actually liked this song... God help me.
I still kind of like it
+Sadiki St. George oh Canada
We didn't know any better back then.
Same here. I don't know why I did.
Cause it was kind of good? Now however you've all turned into people without own opinions. That's just sad. It's like you're totally forgetting Crash's most important rule - that your own opinion is what always will matter the most, not his or anybody else's. You sheep.
Nickelback's Figured You Out has some of the worst lyrics in their oeuvre: "I like the pants around your feet", "I like the freckles on your chest" - even when I was younger I refused to sing along to that on the radio.
The worst part about it for me is that I actually like the melody of the song itself (It's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me honestly). But the lyrics are so fucking phenomenally awful it just makes it crumble. Especially when coupled with chad's raspy-ass voice honking the terrible lyrics ._.
It's not really a stalker song. It's about a guy realizing his girlfriend is a whore and how she didn't really care for him.
It still sounds creepy as hell.
@@senakashiwazaki9822 Does it sound creepier than Limp Bizkit's Eat You Alive tho? Just a question LOL.
Imagine if Fred Durst would be in that song ^^
Please, no.
He's already shit on "Behind Blue Eyes"
I wouldn't want him to add more fuel into the fire.
LOL YES THAT WOULD BE PURE GOLD
Chad Kroeger, Tyler Connelly, and Fred Durst in one song? That would be my worst nightmare come to life
Fred Durst is shit in general. Doesn’t matter what he’s doing.
Or Kid Rock featuring Shifty Shellshock
Counter to the English lesson: I believe the "we" is referring to "Chad/narrator and the eagles".
Only got into STP recently and they're totally amazing, thanks crash!
+Zennan Perkins Happy to oblige!
PSSST, DON'T TELL EM BOUT THE SELF TITLES! DON'T TELL EM'!!!!!
nice pfp
Well "I Am The Walrus" is pretty meaningless but great but "Champagne Supernova" actually has a lot to say despite the title line.
Dude, supermassive black holes are awesome.
+VideInfra99 Oh, okay. You got me there.
Great video, though. Really funny.
+VideInfra99 Thanks! 😊
So is the song
This song is so bland it hurts.
Nickelback weren't that bad. They certainly didn't warrant the success they got but they don't warrant the immense hatred either. there was certainly far worse bands in that era, hell there's far worse band now.
Meh, I didn't mind Nickelback all that much.
Especially considering that a band like Simple Plan is so much worse.
Agreed. To me, they sounded like a cool uncle trying to start a band but don’t know how Uncool they sound around everyone else
They definitely earned their success but all the hate they get is just jealousy to be honest
@@JohnSmith-lo3lc Funny enough Hero is listed as a one hit wonder for Chad Kroger in 2002. Solo wise, this is his biggest hit not with the band
Coming Soon: _Spider-Crash,_ and it's inevitable reboots; _The Amazing Spider-Crash_ and _Spider-Crash: Homewrecking._
Coming to a theater near you...
and now Spider-crash: into the Crashverse
and spider-Crash Far from the department store
Hahahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is such a earworm and I remember liking it when I was 10, so it gets stuck in my head occasionally.
I was born in 03 and grew up on Spider-Man 1. This song has been stuck in my head for literally all of my life
. . . I also kinda love Chad Kroeger's singing voice. That raspyness just sounds so very good to me. The Josy Scott felt like an non entity to me in this song though.
Dude You're PAINFULLY funny.
+J2H Animations Thank ye kindly!
The Rock Critic Any time my man
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh deff!
And his editing is excellent!
Even as somebody who has a soft spot for Nickelback, I'm not a die-hard fan or anything, but there were a few decent songs I enjoyed.
But, I didn't enjoy this song.
Thank you Crash for tearing this apart. Unfortunately I was one of those that I had thought of it recently cuz its the one Nickelback song that stuck in my head due to spiderman and the age I heard it. Now that you eviscerated it into jelly I feel I can exorcise that particular demon and replace it with a much better STP song instead.
8:55 I believe the lyric is supposed to be "Someone told me love would ALL save us" you can definitely hear him say that. This would make the rest of the verse make a bit more sense (Or at least the next line)
Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional will always be the superior Spider-Man-core song.
I JUST FINISHED THE VIDEO YOU AINT GOT NO LOVE FOR EMO, CRASH???
EMO GANG WE OUT HERE
+Dick Pepperfield Naw, man. I got love for emo. Hell, I even got love for DC.
It's just... Vindicated felt very weird to be fronting a Spider-Man movie.
Totally felt weird fronting a Spider-Man movie, agreed. I've just come to the conclusion that movie soundtracks in that 90s-early 2000s rarely made any sense. Why was Kiss From a Rose on the Batman soundtrack?
Honestly, I think that Ordinary by Train was a good Spiderman track. Better than Hero.
I love "Vindicated", but Sony missed another opportunity to highlight a song written for Spider-Man: Yellowcard's "Gifts & Curses". Other than "Vindicated" and "Meant To Live", "Gifts & Curses" was the song I associated that movie with, as well as the entire Sam Rami trilogy, and Sony thought NickelSalivaofaDeadMan, Train and Snow Patrol sought potential?
I can take a guess that STP might be your next I Love This Song? Maybe Creep or Interstate Love Song?
ChaoticDoctor I WOULD LOVE THAT!!!! Those are two classics. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
When crash played the guitar solo I could tell he didn’t practice it because it wasn’t all correct. But god damn it he was close
Dammit, Crash. Now your Spider-theme is stuck in my head and I can't stop singing it.
Still beats the hell out of *this* song.
They play it every now and then on Canadian rock stations.
Geez, and I thought Simple Plan was shit.
Well, at least Canada gave me Sum 41, Billy Talent, and Three Days Grace.
So, all is forgiven.
Sena Kashiwazaki Don't forget Rush ! :D
The only memory i have of this song is my friend making fun of josey Scott's vocal crack on the " someone told me" part.
crash i don't know how i didn't think about this before but there is actually quite a difference between 4X platinum in america and 8X platinum in canda
according to canada's numbers 100,000 equals platinum as opposed to a million in america
unless you are using that million units for both
also it was so successful in canda because of cadaian media laws requring 35% of all media played to be canadian in origin
Now you make me feel guilty to listen to this song :(
Vindicated is a great song and Dashboard Confessional is an amazing band
I enjoy Saliva, and real early Nickelback. Have you heard the new Saliva album, it's not very good.
I agree with your criticisms of this song, and it's a very hard track to defend. However, I think it was actually a great pick for lead single for the movie. Mainly because the cheesy, overly grandiose tone fits very well with the tone of the first Raimi Spiderman movie. Both the movie and the song shine the brightest when they aren't being taken too seriously.
I feel as if the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack was a far better batch of songs because it's predominantly pop-punk/Emo bands that fit well with Peter Parker as a character. Like Gifts and Curses by Yellowcard is legitimately one of the best songs I've ever heard and it fits so well with the movie (but it was never included with the film) I feel like Spider-Man's character would listen to more of those bands than this type of butt-rock.
Honestly...I forgot what band Josey Scott was from xP Guess it is good ;)
Not odd at all, I admit that I loved this song when I was a kid. It's just so pretentiously, trying-to-hard epic and it fell in line with my teenage angst and melodramatic leanings.
Hey now keep my Dashboard out of this.
Dude, you said love wouldn’t save us.
But we got killing and violence from it.
But that didn’t actually happen.
Thanks for hearing what I have to say. Please take it into consideration.
4:00 No wrestling announcer could ever match that level of intensity.
At least Taggart didn't record anything musical with this bunch of untalented dudes, he was just here to have a pay-check for the video
As you can see, I love Our Lady Peace
+liam corbeil Yeah, me too. OLP are one of my favs. It was his involvement in the song that originally got me pumped for it, of all things.
But I don't blame the guy. A paycheck is a paycheck.
+The Rock Critic I can't say the contrary, great video by the way! :D
If you want a band with good lyrics, check out Tame Impala.
He reviewed them
Check out Acid Bath
That STP song was one of my favorites from them, and hearing it could've replaced a nasally Chad Kroeger song hurt me.
And yes, it still pops up on Radio here in Alberta. Which, sadly, is where Nickleback comes from.
I like this song's use of the flat-III chord, i.e. a major chord with the root note of the key signature's minor third, as well as its use of flat-VI/flat-VII/IV in the last line of the verse. (Forgive me if I messed up any of that terminology). I always like when songs do things like that; it brings them a step above the type of four-chord song Axis of Awesome sung about.
Actually, many songs by Nickelback and quite a lot of other much-maligned artists have some mildly creative (or at least not-that-commonly-used) ideas in their chord progressions, which is one of the main reasons I don't quite comprehend the rancorous hatred they receive---and also why I don't think Crash's comparison of "Hero" to all those four-chord songs is substantiated.
Whoawhoawhoa....you think Patrick Stump has a bad voice? I can understand if you don't like the band's music but he's a very talented vocalist with an impressive range.
This song needs 3 fucking guitarists?
No it has 3 guitars... It needs more like 6
I remember first hearing this song as a kid in a TV spot for the first Spiderman movie. I don't know if it was hype for watching the film (which thank God, I and my brothers and sisters did see in theaters, I freaking loved Spiderman as a kid) but I liked this song. Mind you, my taste in music had not been as refined as it now. Looking back, I'm embarrassed for liking this when I was 8. This song has all the competency of Homelander saving those flight passengers. Just thought I'd add the superhero metaphor to continue the theme.
4:06, 5:51, 12:50, 13:07. put it on 0.25 speed. whenever crash screams it sounds funny in 0.25 speed
11:48
Or, in a way you may recognize better.
“And a million days is worth one good laugh”
I really, really want a Patrick Stump/Guy from Smash Mouth duet now.
Somebody once told me...Am I more than you bargained for yet?
damnit I love this song. it's 100% nostalgia, but I love it so much
I love this song. It has a unique depth and feeling. There is power in the simplicity. I actually think the verse lyrics are really good. It’s a good thing when lyrics seem “meaningless” cuz it’s open to interpretation and you can make it about whatever you want.
7:32
Someone told me
The lyrics will save it
But how can that be?
Look what the lyrics gave it
This still gets radio play in my hometown in New Zealand. I don't know where the fuck the demand comes from.
My god Green Day riffs are more complex then that “solo” not bashing on Green Day by the way I love them
The first spider-man movie was pretty funny in an over the top silly way, but still had some ground to stand on when it came to character development.
The second one was even better, it was a bit more serious even though it too had it's silly moments.
The third one... No.
Topher Grace an Venom?! Was Pauly Shore unavailable?!
I personally think that everything after Spider-Man 2 was shit.
For the record, here in Canada you still sometimes hear this song on the radio. You still hear a lot of Nickelback songs on the radio actually, I mean not any of their new stuff but most of the songs from their heyday still get played. Ugh.
I played in a Champions tabletop game for a bit and I tried to push a recurring joke: whenever a character died, I sung "Hero" just to take the piss out of the group.
+LordFlashAdder Whew, damn. Adding insult to injury there! 🙃
It was funny mostly because we had a guy who kept picking fights way out of his league. Like his 2nd character died because he tried to pick a fist fight with a jet fighter.
I'd play this song and he'd be like "lay off!" I'd just tell him "stop trying to punch a goddamn supersonic jet!"
A Rock Critic video but every stock photo / wacky sound effect the video speeds up by 5%
This song is soo generic, in high school it was a sample song included on my electric keyboard.
Maybe the Heaven don't hear me line is referencing prayers that go answered? From the gist of the song I got this feeling that it was from the perspective of someone trapped in a bad situation and is "praying" for a hero to come save them before deciding to be their own hero. . . .Or I think anyhow. I have acutally gone back to watch the alternate video of the song. I kinda like it honestly.
It was still played at rock radio stations in Denmark like 5 years ago IDK if they still play it but yes I've thought of Hero a long time after it was a hit
*Hears the lineup rollcall.* So what could possibly go wrong?
I’ll admit I enjoy the song Hero and enjoy Nickelback unironically.
It was actually matt Cameron that played the drums when they recorded it and the reason it is jeremy targget in the video is because matt was dealing with family issues at the time so he was replaced
I lost my shit when u screamed josey scott u legit went ssj3
Crash, I know I'm a few years late but you had me laughing a ton during this video and dying laughing at the end. Awesome job man!
Btw, the new Godsmack IHTS is awesome, too!
If I could like this a million times I would. That spider crash ending was epic!
Are you gonna cover the new Green Day song?
17:51 Yeah.... Unless you live in Canada.
I sure do.
All In The Suit That You Wear is my favorite STP song, and I love this band to death. The fact that they chose this shit over STP breaks my heart to a million pieces. BTW Great Video.
They play this at the walmart I work at all the time
I was wearing a Spider-Man shirt when watching this.
That green screen near the end with Spider-Crash is Euclid and East 14th Street in downtown Cleveland.
Nice touch, Crash.
I...all this time pointed out how odd it was seeing the lead vocalist from Theory of a Deadman in this video, and I never realized the drummer was from Our Lady Peace? Wow.
Kind of bummed that you didn't mention the REALLY GOOD lyric from this one. "They say that a hero can save us, I'm not going to stand here and wait." Sorry, but that is a DAMN good line.
Also, BRING THIS SERIES BACK.
Funny story: I don't remember hearing this song at all when it was really big, but the first time I consciously heard it was when I was looking up AMVs around 2006-2007. If you thought Linkin Park was overused in that scene, imagine listening to this spliced together with a bunch of random Final Fantasy cutscenes. I didn't hate it at first, I can probably count off the top of my head 10 Nickelback songs way worse than this, but there's probably a good reason this got lost in the shuffle.
Also, why did you have to remind me that Dashboard Confessional existed? I was having a good morning up until then.
+Graham Kristensen I sincerely apologize. I am selfish. I am wrong. 🙃
23:08 lmao
Too be fair, Chad Kroeger is ABSOLUTELY no where near as bad as a singer as Matt Walst, Vic Fuentes or even Wes Scantlin are.
I actually did....sadly I use to like it...then I forgot it...and when you made this video you brought out the flaws in it and yeah...your right :/
Imma be honest, I only know this song because it was memed heavily by some youtubers, game grumps I believe. WAHHCHINNN USSS
Hey, I like Vindicated tho
I'd like there to be a separate video of the sound effects in the background starting at 11:00.
I actually was aware of this song, but only because it was on the special features disc as part of my special edition Spider-Man DVD
"Yeah, write a song about soarin' and flyin', and how there's not a star in heaven that you can't reach...
In fact, forget that! I have a perfect idea for a musical set in high school!"
The only redeeming quality of this song is the vocal harmony between kreuger and scott. The vocal melody is extremely catchy, but then again the black plaque was also "catchy." Just because something is memorable, doesn't mean it's good.
I never noticed Josey Scott was chlling on the couch in the back ground of the music video :D
And, I watched this video a lot when it was released. It was no.1 on a local music video count down show for weeks that I used to watch.
It's kind of hilarious. It's like he couldn't be bothered to stand up for the beginning of the video :)
Also, kudos for having cables on the ground and having the instruments plugged in. Most music videos wouldn't have bothered with that either :)
That last "EE-YEAH--EAH--EAH-EAH" Josey Scott wailed while head twirling and staring into the sun like a possessed maniac just before the music video ends.....
This song is an early 2000's trash treasure. I have to go dig through the garage and find this album just to keep it as a nostalgic totem to show off the kids today about how good they got it with present day Marvel Studios.
*BEHOLD!* The darkest shadows of the past, OF WHICH HATH BIRTHED YOUR GLORY! _THIS!_ This is what we went through in order to see the light!
Found it! Although the CD is missing, I found the CD case with the holographic Spider-man and a big sticker on it that says "19 tracks including 'HERO' CHAD KROGER featuring JOSEY SCOTT" (although scott's name is smaller)
There's even a little comic thing going on with pics of the movie and there's one photo of Willem Dafoe with a thought bubble that says _"the music is their only chance, but by the time they figure it out, it will be too late!"_
The last two panels have a pic of Peter and Mary Jane sitting next to each other with a caption that says _"What is it? That sound...."_
Then the last panel is a photo of Dafoe in a suit grinning with his hands up in the 'come on' position and a thought bubble that says _"THE FOOLS!"_
Almost as if this soundtrack knew the whole time...
+White Asylum Gorgeous! I love it.
I'm going to have to look this up later myself.
Spider-Crash is the most gloriously dank thing I've seen in my life. Obviously, long, restless hours were put into the fabrication of that Scarlet Spider costume.
Byotiful.
pathetically enough, this song still sees decent radio play on the local adult contemporary station here in dallas..
So glad you gave Axis Of Awesome a mention! Have you ever seen them live?
why do you hate Patrick stump's vocals their not bad
*they're, but I agree.
You're right, I didn't notice.
+RYAN MILLER well yeah in their post breakup albums. Thats just pete wentz writing that patrick has to try and convey an ego he doesnt really have . although in the earlier albums its pretty much the conplete opposite. Mostly sounding like an asshole but likeable. I think that works to their benefeit because atleast they sound human but nowadays i still think they are a good band but not as interesting
+djcreeps121 SRAR is easily their worst album imo. There are not a lot of redeeming qualities about it. Patricks vocals don't help, and the music was way too produced. Infinity on High is my favorite album by them, and Folie a Deux is where I think Patrick has his best vocal performance. Both albums show the instrumentation at their most creative as well.
+max79_99 i wont lie i'm pretty forgiving of alot of music even if i know it's bad whichg was especially the case with SRAR. I can like rat a tat because of it's energy and i mentally blocked courtneys part out, young volcanoes is alright and maybe a few others i can enjoy but i agree on folie a deux its personally my favourite album and honestly i think Ab/Ap is okay as far as pop rock goes. I hear people saying they hate FoB going more pop i always agreed with todd in the shadows in that they did it to expand their sound (which is true there is more experimentation in the newest album than there was in most of their other albums.
The saddest part about that solo is that Tyler is legitimately capable of so much more. Dude's actually a pretty talented guitarist that just never gets to show off because of how brain-dead all of his music is. And honestly same with Chad Kroeger, which makes the addition of Tyler weird as well.
Well, that song is catchy, take a chill pill.
If anyone reading this wants to listen to a good song associated with spiderman, besides the Stone Temple Pilots song that was originally supposed to be a part of the soundtrack, I would recommend listening to the pop-punk song ”When I Swing By” by Miracle of sound. It's a great song that really matches the personality and energy of the character. Definitely check it out if you can.
