OMG!!They just played a remix of two different Nickleback songs,that is unedited, and the chorus and the versus happen at the same time in each song!
That made me laugh!

"I had to direct the meeting because they kept blabbing about my playing and that I wasn't happy with the band. It was just a bunch of lame excuses because no one could tell me the deal.
"I had to tell them to cut the s-- and get to the point. And even then they couldn't bring themselves to tell me I was done."
Vikedal says his replacement will be Three Doors Down drummer Daniel Adair, who is originally from Vancouver.
Nickelback and Three Doors Down toured together last year, and Vikedal says he figures the change was in the works even back then.
On the prospect of Three Doors Down now needing a drummer, he shoots back, "No, thanks. I'm done with them."
Now, he says, "I feel like there's a weight off my shoulders but I'd like the honest truth to come out. I feel pretty betrayed by what was once called a family."
Vikedal says he's going to take a year off to study music in Boston, with teachers from the Berklee College of Music.
There is SO MUCH WRONG in this passage. All he needed to say after that was that he was working on achieving a state of Clear.

Actually, this is great. Now, when anyone requests a Nickelback track at your local radio station (all over the world), you can point them in this direction and never get bothered by them again!

gah...Nickleback were the worst offenders until Three Doors Down did that totally horrible "Citizen Soldier" shit.

I'm not usually one to get pious about such things, but Chad Kroeger has always come across as the most loathsome careerist ogre in existence.

If the D can rally around a Robocop statue, they can surely beat back the Nickleback.

I remember the marketing meeting where that video was first screened for us. "Funereal" might describe the mood best.

I watched that video on mute for a while and then turned on the sound. Cue surprise that this is indeed a Nickelback song, i.e. angsty and grimfaced, when the visuals would have you expect something closer to Smash Mouth. I don't know if there's another band that's as much of a punchline where the music is just incompatible with that vibe.
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 16 December 2020 11:45 (three years ago) link
Looked it up and that video was directed by Bill Fishman, who directed Tapeheads (along with several Ramones videos!) back in the day.

Is the name of this band a play on the pickle back drink?
― calstars, Sunday, 27 March 2022 18:14 (two years ago) link
the story i remember was one of them worked at Starbucks and a common thing came to $x.95 and he was constantly asking people "do you want your nickel back?"
― maf you one two (maffew12), Sunday, 27 March 2022 18:33 (two years ago) link
pretty sure that the pickleback shot was invented in the 2000s.
