I guess that's what happens when you give sass to Mamma Chad.

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.

Well done Mr. Kroeger:

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.

I dont understand what happened here at all.

It's quite a good impersonator, in that case.

Convincing, that is.

Nickelback's Chad Kroeger may rock a King of the Jungle-worthy mane, but that doesn't mean the bro-rock hair farmer will be welcomed by Detroit Lions football fans

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

PEI police! We've moved beyond the Brazil and Russia stage. Nickelback Sucks trope now hits countries in SE Asia that have never heard the band.

An important early 2010s artifact is this Nickelback video where Jason Alexander plays a barista competing against a fedora-wearing version of himself to create the most impressive latte art pic.twitter.com/M3kMMgJrMZ— Brooks Otterlake (@i_zzzzzz) December 14, 2020

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

― DJP, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 18:30 (three years ago) link
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.
