A misunderstood, but popular rock band from Canada. They are hated on by so-called "rockers" who claim that they have gotten softer as their career has progressed, and because the rest of them don't have long hair like Chad does. Maybe, but they still have hard rock songs on their albums as well as those power ballads that have influenced such bands as Saving Abel. Just because Chad Kroeger has chosen not to scream all the time and be blunt in his songwriting instead of metaphorical like your rockers do is no reason to hate on them. They are not talentless fucks as you would like to believe. It's not their fault they are so popular. It's the fault of the fans. If it wasn't for us fans, dedicated and casual, they would be obscure.
Everyone seems to hate on Nickelback because Chad chose to start being a blunt lyricist from "Silver Side Up" onward instead of metaphorical like he was on "Curb" and "The State". They don't just talk about sex, drugs, and rock n roll like Buckcherry and the like do. Nickelback have had topical songs. Have Buckcherry et. al. done that? Maybe, but not very often. You say that the women who like Nickelback only like their ballads. WRONG! I like their rockers as well, and I'm a woman, and their biggest fan.

Get the Nickelbackmug. by Jamie October 20, 2004
Get the Nickelbackmug. A band that writes catchy songs. One cannot help liking their hits and singing along to the lyrics. They are comercial, but their music is down-to-earth and not wannabe-tough shit like other bands (3 days grace, staind, kid rock...). They are pop rock, post-grunge, hard rock, however you want to call them.
I like music that sounds good, I do not discriminate genres; Nickelback's radio hits sound good to me, therefore, I like them.

Get the Nickelbackmug. Person 1: Nickelback isn't music!
Person 2: Yes it is.
Person 1: No, I don't like it, so it's not music!
Person 2: By your logic, nothing's music.
Person 1: No, by my logic... I don't know. But I know I'm right!
Person 2: Riiiiiiiight.
Person 2: Yes it is.
Person 1: No, I don't like it, so it's not music!
Person 2: By your logic, nothing's music.
Person 1: No, by my logic... I don't know. But I know I'm right!
Person 2: Riiiiiiiight.

Get the Nickelbackmug. The best band in the world. Nickelback is an awesome combination of rock, metal and alternative. They make great pump up songs for wrestling, hockey or football. They sound the same on the album as they do live. Chad has great voice, and Daniel is a boss on the drums. The guitarits rock too.
Nickelback is the best band ever.

Get the Nickelbackmug. a great hard rock band that many morons seem to hate simply cause theyre mainstream. thing is, unlike many other shitty mainstream artists out there, Nickleback became popular because their good. song meanings vary from respect for one another to just hanging out with friends. really meaningful lyrics. totally KICK-ASS in concert
