I honestly don't think many people actually hate NIckleback. It's one of the things people just piggybacked on for the memes. Their first album Silver Side Up was massive.

See, as a NB fan, I can't figure out WHY people hate them so much.

Nickekbacks always been heavy, people just never give them the time of day and write them off before they hear them properly. It’s cool to see!

Really, I don't get why people hate them. I grew up on Nickelback because my dad got me into them. They have songs that are either deep and beautiful or wild and fun.

Everyone hates nickleback til nickleback comes on the radio. 🤷‍♂️

I think people who say they "hate" Nickelback are secretly closet Nickelback fans in reality.

The song "Side of a bullet" is a tribute to Dimebag Darrell after he got murdered on the stage. Short story on; Nickelback asked Vinnie Paul (Dimebag's brother) for permission, and he gave them a guitar solo recorded by his brother, one of the many that didn't get to the Pantera albums... that's the solo you heard.

The haters of nickelback has no exact reason why they dont like them because they arent matured enough interms of music.

They have 17 mil monthly listeners. Nickelback has bangers

NICKELBACK IS STILL BANGING

If every band are the same what you are wanted. The world be boring. Different genres different people in the world and different taste of music. I am a metalhead and i really love heavy music like BDM but i never criticize some other genres. If you dont like skip it,if you stay in what you like. Thats boring. I love all genres so that i can appreciate the music taste of different peoples and friends and sharing each other. i started to love the music on FM radio station of the 90’s,different music. Thats why i never hate different genres because i started on FM station.

I think Nickleback live were amazing I went to a concert with my best friend she had a broken foot but she refused to miss the concert but if u like the little dirty lines than maybe dark horse is for u but my fave song on all the right reasons is Animals it reminds me of being a teenager and dating the guy your mum and dad say is bad for you but u just don’t care

I don't know why people hate them. I never did. I always thought they had a very good sound.

Animals has some great lyrics and rhythm.

It's "cool" to hate Nickleback. Well, it's cool for sheep to hate whatever they are told to hate.

Nickelback, Creed, and Puddle Of Mudd are the triforce of overhated Post-Grunge bands. They were never as bad as people said they were, But they all got flack for being the most overplayed (That, And their vocalists are an acquired taste). And as far as this specific album is concerned, It's not really my thing but it's got some good songs. I consider Rockstar a guilty pleasure.

You really are the best so generous with the amount of song played. And who didn't love the dog. It's really enjoyable

THAT photograph has a loving home in Chad’s poolroom.

You should listen to The State or Curb the first two albums. They are so radically different to the rock radio hits they made later. Before they found the formula, The State and Curb was the real Nickelback

You did hit the nail on the head with Photograph. It’s all a bit too noisy for a song where someone’s just reminiscing about their childhood and what happened. And it is absolutely cheesy, and the official music video is just as goofy. But I think it’s actually a fan favorite because of the delivery, Chad sticks the landing on this sincere moment of daydreaming about the past while flipping through your photo album or school pictures. And it truly is a “one size fits all” song, they made it pretty vague so that just about everybody can slip into the character Chad’s describing. What can I say, humans are suckers for nostalgia. Nickelback is…. Well they’re not some sort of masterclass group that puts everyone to shame. They’re mainly a hard rock radio band. Songs repetitive enough to be singing along by the time the last chorus comes on your first listen. But also not so cookie cutter that they lose their charm. They have some truly solid musical talent and can show it effortlessly. Their cover of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” is phenomenal. But yeah, I’d say when Nickelback comes on, it’s a fun experience to sing along with songs we all grew up with and not think too much about it.

The best band ever!

I don't hate any of the bands. I think that there is no arguing about tastes. As for Nickelback, I like all their albums, each in its own way. My favourites are probably dark horse and the long road, the weakest being no fixed address (in my opinion).

Some Canadians and metal fans that's it. Everyone loves nickelback around the world. If you go around the world asia Africa America arab Europe it'll be like 9.99 nickelback music lovers and 0.1 haters.

I urge you to do reactions on their other albums starting with the very first one. They are hated as a meme, it's just like a strange lame fashion to hate them. People who hate them usually only heard 1.5 songs of theirs

Even though it's pop rock, I was glad that rock was at the top of the charts instead of Britney Spears.

Thank you for this sir. Make me subscribed. You should react more of nickelback. they have many meaningful songs. From how you remind me days till forever. Nickelback's number 1 fan from philippines.

Fun fact: the extremely low vocals in follow you home and rockstar are that of Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top!

Here’s a deal . I’ll watch any video if any song or anything to nickel back - Listen to any song form Silverside up , listen to any song from The state , or the long road or a video like this

the moments of Lyrical Realization during the sex songs are sending me "Did he just say 'It's just a little hard to leave when you're _going down_ on me'??" and the entire facial journey during the road head sequence in Animals, comedy gold

I forgot how much the opening to Next Contestant sounded like Hoobastank.

I love the first half of this album but i think it falls off in the second half

Also, their cover of some of Metallica's songs (if I'm not mistaken, it was something from the black album, some Newsted heavy song) live on some concert sounds better (to my taste, and to taste of many) than the actual Metallica =)

You should definitely react to the music video as a ret. FF/EMT it hits especially close to home for first responders

"Sounds like a preview for the next episode of Dawson's Creek" 🤣🤣🤣 My only problem with Nickelback is that they sound remarkably formulaic except for a handful of songs. I feel like they're all in the same key. I really like Animals and Rockstar, and Photograph isn't bad. But that's about it for me. They're not terrible, and I agree they are heavier than they're given credit for. I just wish the majority of their songs didn't sound so darn similar.

I love nickelback even i am belongs to metal. Their music gave me vibes in different way.

Do another album, this was great

Just found your channel. You were very brave critiquing a band widely slammed on. I'm happy that you found some of their songs enjoyable. I can tell you enjoyed the heavier type stuff. For me I like the ballads and some of the slower songs but I like the heavier stuff more too. If your interested check these out, you won't be disappointed. Next go Round. Because of you. This means War. Gotta Get me Some. Feed the Machine. The Betrayal Act III. Bottoms Up. S.E.X Also I think the reason Nickelback are so hated is that they put out alot of generic sounding songs like ballads and love songs which are more radio friendly, had they released more heavier sounding tracks they would have come across more appealing. Sadly because they never released certain songs (such as Fight for All the wrong Reasons), alot of their best work stay on the album undiscovered. I've always said it, Nickelback came undone because they were not releasing the right tracks to promote the albums.

I'm no fan but Nickelback has some bangers. Nickelback jokes, at this point, are the Nickelback of jokes. Their biggest problem was always the overplay factor, they had so many hits one after the other that followed a similar formula that anyone dumb enough to listen to the radio had to sit through what essentially sounded like a bunch of different versions of "Photograph" One thing I really like about this album is Side Of The Bullet. It was written about Nathan Gale who killed Dimebag, the solo is actually one of Dimebag's solos and Vinnie was gonna drum on it but he thought their drummer did a perfect enough job on it. Other than that, its a pretty alright album, I skew heavier usually but there's nothing wrong with the odd song here and there.

Man, as someone who grew up on metal, I've never understood why people hate Nickleback so much. They're so much harder than they get credit for, probably because the biggest hits are their ballads, which are more radio-friendly (back when that was actually a factor). Try Silver Side Up next, if you want to do more.

"its really good if you didnt know it was nickleback" is literally just nickleback

Nickelback hate is embarrassing. It's for insecure weirdos who want to fit in and be on the trends. There's nothing objectively wrong with their music, they have like 5 hits that everyone likes even if they pretend not to and the rest is just some filler. The worst you can say about the band is that if a song isn't a hit then it's just not worth listening to, there are no hidden Nickelback gems. The best you can say about Nickelback is that they made the best capeshit song for Spiderman, that song is amazing.

I think some of the video clips might help with the meanings

The long road s one of the best hard rock albums

That thing about there s

They arent the worst band. I like a handful of there songs. Just not all of them. Even my most favorite artists i dont even like every single song

"This is too heavy for Nickelback" haha yeah, it surprised me when that whole Nickelback hate trend started and everyone was making fun of Nickelback until I realized it was just bc their softer songs were so overplayed on the radio that people got sick of them. Put on one of their heavier tracks though and suddenly people realize they don't really hate Nickelback. Well, I guess those stories about the singer being a bit of a dick that started going around didn't really help either, though.

Rockstar is my least favorite song.

For real tho. The lyrics are objectively the worst thing this band has to offer. And they're not even THAT bad. I'd say all of it can be put as 'very musical', and sometimes it actually has some depth. Everything else figures between alright and great.

9:00 dog be like attention human I demand it now I will bite and you just ignore it lol. seems hard to 23:00 to judge music when you have a small shark biting you lol

I think some people hate Nickelback for the same reasons as they do Limp Biskit. Even though the music and production might be good (even great sometimes) underneath, its the leader singers voice and lyrics that turn them off.

People don't hate their music. The singer is kinda a douche and fans just needed a reason to hate them more. It's kinda like Guns & Roses. Axl his problems made people try and find reasons to hate the band and their music.

Nickleback is a band I grew up on and loved until Dark Horse was released. Has some solid songs but after that? Nope. Nickleback is just bad now. They’re a case of a band that never changed their sound and THAT made them bad. They never evolved with their music and instead went more generic.
