nickelback

Nickelback are a hard rock band(they are NOT Nu-Metal, Nu-metal is Linkin Park!) from Hanna, Alberta(although most of the band now live in Vancouver). They formed in 1996, the original line up being Chad Kroeger(lead vocals and guitar), Mike Kroeger (bass), Ryan Peake (guitars and backing vocals), and Brandon Kroeger(drums). This lineup recorded the Curb, but soon after Brandon left as he wanted to spend more time with his family. After numerous session drummers, Nickelback found Ryan Vikedal, who Ryan Peake had known of from high school. This line up recorded the State, which got them noticed by RoadRunner records. The single Leader Of Men was released in the USA. During 2001, the band recorded their break through album, Silver Side Up. This album contained the biggest song of 2002, How You Remind Me. It also contained, Too Bad, Never Again, and Where Do I Hide, all of which enjoyed success in the charts. After 2 year of touring, the band went back int othe studio to record The Long Road. Whislt this album contained some good tracks, the majority of the songs were lacking the memorableness that had made Silver Side Up such a huge album. Some say that How You Remind Me and Someday are the same song. As a musician, I can say they definately are not. Someday has had its key changed, and has also been shortened(I know because I spoke to the person who did it!). The band's latest album is entitled All The Right Reasons, and is a return to form. The riffs are heavy and memorable, and the lighter songs see the introduction of piano and strings. The album also contains a tribute to Dimebag Darrell, entitled Side Of A Bullet, with a sampled solo that Dime's brother, Vinnie Paul, sent Nickelback for the track(Dimebag and Vinnie were friends with Nickelback).

I hope this description is fair, as Nickelback have been given an unfair bashing by some people. If you don't like them, fair enough, but don't slag them off.

Nickelback got their name when Mike, their bassist, was working at Starbucks. A coffee was $1.95, so when people gave him two dollars, he got used to saying, "here's your nickel back". This is how they got their name.

Nacker

An individual of an ethnicity other than African American who understands the African American culture to a point where they can comfortably differentiate between "Black culture" and other ethnical cultures. These people are often subjected to massive social backlash by those who have not yet developed a full understanding and appreciation of "Black culture".

Also, a person who has overcome society's default feeling of great sensitivity towards African Americans and looks at the Black community as objectively as they would their own.

Generally used to describe a person of Caucasian ethnicity.

Often confused with whiggers, bigots or even racists.

Also pronounced "Nacka"

1: "Why is John such a racist?"
2: "He's not a racist"
1: "Yeah he is. He said that the #1 killer of young black males in America is other black males. That's such a rash generalization."
2: "No, it's true. He's not a racist, he's just a nacker."

wooden nickels

Don't let know one try to tell you, or get you to believe that it is..When really it never was and/or can never be.

Someone coming to you saying, I know where you can get this or that for a little of nothing..Just give me your name,address,money etc. And I'll see that you get it..When all alone they where just playing you..They knew that it wasn't or could never be. But you gave it to them trusting them. And you end up with nothing..

Be careful don't take no wooden nickels. Old saying originating from DETROIT.

nickelback

A sex act in which a roll of nickels is used as a strap-on. After the act is completed, the receiver then urinates (or defecates) the nickels out onto the back of their partner.

My girlfriend demanded I stop listening to Crazytown and come into the bedroom immediately because she was in the mood for a nickelback.
