Nickelback On Being A Musician Now Vs. The Early Days

[@melaniemeinhardt5764]

If this interview doesn't convince people that those guys are great musicians and even better human beings, I don't know what will

[@gzz8551]

It doesn’t.

[@lancejohnson7742]

Absolutely true.

[@Terri-vi5qb]

I predicted you would dabble in country! Suggesting a country album!

[@wbrockstar9550]

​@@gzz8551 Well what does in your opinion??

[@gzz8551]

@@wbrockstar9550 Dude, I can’t remember the video. It’s been a year. And yes, I could click and watch again but who’s got the time for that shit? I’ll stick with my original comment.

[@cgreenwood9327]

I love hearing Chad talk about how he comes up with songs and how the band creates things. It is nice to hear Danial's view in the interview. He doesn't talk much but it awesome to see how real these guys are.

[@cpnstbn1266]

It’s awesome how they don’t try and “ act cool” or pompous and arrogant. They’re just 4 dudes you could sit in a bar and have a beer with

[@sarahrupert5320]

I saw these guys in concert last night & one thing I noticed was that not only do they sound great in person, but they also seem to really love performing even their older stuff. A lot of musicians/bands that have been around for awhile-you can just tell that they’re sick of playing anything from earlier albums (understandable), and therefore won’t perform much of it at their concerts. But Nickelback really wanted to give the crowd what they wanted & I appreciate that!

[@millennialaviation]

You must be in Houston? Lol

[@cpnstbn1266]

They talk about this in their documentary. They have so many hit songs that it’s a problem for creating a set list for their shows, but you can tell they are very mindful in what to select. And they are incredibly professional in their performance. Even I saw goo goo dolls last week and they joked they won’t get paid if they don’t play Iris.

[@trulylynn9941]

Yes they do my friend. They aren't just going through the motions. They truly play as when they first started.

[@amysumisu]

This is hands down my favorite interview from any band at this point. What an absolute delight! I laughed, I got chills, I honestly could've sat here and listened to their stories all day. Loved this so much.

[@bethepperson5363]

I have loved these guys since the start. I may be 63 but I love my rock and grew up on country and western. Music soothes my soul.

[@lovelighttheotherside1251]

we finally get to hear Daniel's voice.

[@DeerParkAuto]

These guys are real down to earth people. I loved their music for years and now I'm going to see them on June 30th 2023, at White River Amphitheater!! Feeling Stoked!!

[@bobbylight746]

I went front row area a couple months ago and we all still randomly say that was the best concert experience in a long time. They put on an amazing show, they seemed to really appreciate the fans.

[@cpnstbn1266]

I saw them the other night and I agree with you. You can tell they take delivering for the fans very seriously and aren’t just going through the motions

[@cpnstbn1266]

It’s great how over quarter century later and all the fame they don’t act like they’re too cool to do an interview. And they still seem stoked to be living the dream

[@61cheezil]

I'm 62yo & been wit you guys since the beginning (Australia,4 concerts) & wasn't a fan of country but man the time is right for change & reinventing so I'll be on board & keen to see what's coming Plz come back to Aussie soon & if you bring Brantley I'll come along but I do love Zach Bryan a lot so .... ??

[@brentj.peterson6070]

Saw the boys last Friday night in Grand Rapids Michigan..🔥🎤🎸Sold out and rowdy!! Really awesome time!! Brantley Gilbert and Josh Ross were also excellent. The rock/country thing works!🔥

[@TananJess]

Grand rapids it's been a long time since I've been there, I've lived all over Michigan though, but have been in Tennessee for 27 or 28 years

[@thessan701]

Supergreat interview The very best 2Men ewerywhere ❤️❤️🤟🤟

[@GeorgiaPeach365]

Chad has an amazing voice and an amazing smile . ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@beckyhodge5134]

Amazing talent. Awesome music. All around fantastic.

[@enjoythemomenttravel]

What an authentic down to earth interview, thank you guys for the musical insight to your creations! Luv you!💜🎶🔥🔥⚡💯

[@jeremythornton433]

Unbelievable! Fave songs? I certainly did not expect Alan Holdsworth, Dennis Champers or John McLaughlin! Very Cool!

[@still616]

Daniel speaks!

[@TananJess]

I was fortunate grew up listening to everything and love all music, and the majority of my highschool days was more rock and rap but over the last 10 years I've gotten back to listen to and love country again too.

[@TananJess]

Every time I listen to music i find something that helps me remember time's and experiences that might not otherwise remember, like an old song says the song remembers when.

[@ioanaandrei2434]

Amazing musicians and human beings!❤❤❤

[@jenniferiacuaniello-mullen7243]

Absolutely love the interview and the band. Craziness about the nostalgia and top songs.. in high school for me it was back in black, the black album, but when I graduated and moved to SD I was all into Ramble on… one of the best. So wonderful to see the influence, the humility as people, and the gifts as musicians. They have been on my top list to see (Eagle was too and got to see them in sac)….and can’t wait to see them in wheatland this summer! Thank you Nickelback for being a sound track to my life and an inspiration for being the best I can be!

[@TananJess]

I love that he says that good enough isn't good enough.

[@TananJess]

Love deep thinking that opens people's minds, that when it's over they're almost in shock because they were just hit with a message, the challenging ones self is what keeps you going to always feel like you haven't achieved anything yet because every time you reach a goal just makes you set another one that doesn't lead to freedom.

[@chaddubois8164]

Great interview.

[@bunnybubs757]

There are fairly articulate , good , chill, pleasant , fun! What I’ve always expected of them ! In concert I’m surprised at all the explosion props and the non stop F bombs .. Rock n roll. Sigh

[@AnneSimilas]

Awesome now Chad is teaching dance lessons I will 2step with you any day..Nickelback just gets better their music rocks..Fan of 20years❤❤❤❤❤

[@TananJess]

Drawing inspiration from others helps us grow, that's when you know you're growing up looking at life in general differently, when you start seeing things from other people's perspective.

[@SMD24]

I love Nickelback, they seem to want to fuse some genres in the alternative grunge world. As a suggestion guess, I think they could fuse rap, pop country, dubstep rock/edm, r&b vibes, violin, and many more that might fit the alternative grunge world

[@Terri-vi5qb]

Nickelback 101 !!!

[@txcuti1673]

I sang along to yours and Brantley’s music 😊

[@marywall1837]

These two are awesome!!. Actually, I’ve been trying to write my very first song, and would love to collaborate with Chad to write the song together.

[@daphnewilliams403]

love you guys are the best❤

[@61cheezil]

Daniel ❤

[@daphnewilliams403]

you blow me away

[@janettejohnston339]

Luv these guys

[@janettejohnston339]

Interesting to see rock stars when they were young with long hair etc and much thinner and compare that to the men they are now. So Interesting to see the comparison.

[@kelseyJohnson-y3m]

Good enough turns into great. The way you let it sound lead to fans loving it. If fans love it the way it is then it turned out good. In Some instances that song you think was just good turned into a song people love. Eventually some songs that you consider good turn into great regardless of how well they were played. Fans choose what they love regardless of if it was played 100% to the best of the bands talent

[@TananJess]

I love the quote from a movie Van wilder don't take life to seriously.. none of us get out of it alive.

[@83056]

I like the dance step part. 👏

[@SomeTechGuy666]

He nailed it with Jason Aldean's songs being rock songs.

[@TananJess]

Brantley Gilbert and Jelly Roll an he's done some stuff with demun Jones everything I've heard from Brantley has been good, it's cool that Nickelback is going to have him on tour with them.

[@todds.6028]

These guys are both 48 years old. Canada don't crack.

[@taylorstickle9558]

u might want to look there birthdays up on Google cause u might be wrong on there age

[@Godcool435]

1 Katie big fan ❤️ nickel back ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@julioromero238]

Funny that he hates singing Animals, but I've to SOOO many ppl whose favorite song is that one lol.

[@zlatkad.k.2437]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@txcuti1673]

If they add a fiddle to the band, they have a become county band. 😊

[@TananJess]

Alabama said that too lol.

[@KatieAus-qm1fq]

1 Katie 💞 Chad kroeger I love you so much more 💖💖☺️💖 nickel back 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

[@Jesus-n1e]

Chad dancing just made my year

[@TananJess]

It's kinda like being in a time capsule.

[@bwalker8252]

Chad and the interviewer have very similar shoes

[@TananJess]

Hello random!😂

[@kathyanderson5362]

Have they ask u guys to do movie yet

[@michaelbuddy]

it's obscene how few views this has. Only 22k as I write this? C'mon man.

[@TananJess]

Nu breed had something similar with welcome to my house and changes

[@TananJess]

Save me happened the same way

[@ValeCardonaH]

❤️😍😍🥺

[@edithstorie9672]

I love that Chad can 2-step

[@chrissy1310]

Chad seems fun.

[@grazynapijar4837]

😊😮😊

[@river2352]

Always liked Nickleback, on a different note. Genuinely curious… has Chad had work done, there’s no way a hair cut and some beard changed a face THAT much

[@cpnstbn1266]

I think for most of his career he was incredibly skinny but put on a lil weight that’s why.

[@sophiebee25]

Damn if Chad wanted to show me how to two-step I would combust

[@TananJess]

Don't let me go with marker tops MGK

[@TheTweetybird1122]

Whose here after the netflix documentary?

[@roselee1974]

Lol 😂❤😂❤

[@TananJess]

They don't get that writers are story tellers, some personal or a lot of personal and others stories that are given a voice to the voiceless

[@WorthyMissJ]

Chad, a control freak? Never! Lol😅😂😅 Its only because he's a perfectionist and will mentally pick everything apart if it isn't quite right. Whatever isnt perfect about it will probably bug him enough tha he has a problem really concentrating on other things. Love him anyway! ❤

[@pennyboyer2505]

I think Chad is becoming more country than before. STOP! 😂

Nice work - those guys are sick

[@TananJess]

Thank you I subbed.

Great interview. Kill the background music.

Sounds like STP

2step all over my 2 left feet.

[@vinopit]

what a shitty interview. you can feel the tension between this 2 guys

[@nicholsonjay4724]

Nope…you’re wrong about that. I’m a fairly anxious guy and usually can detect it in others…but that’s not happening here . These guys are virtually married to each other (and the other band members) and hardly pay attention to what the other says.

[@PamelaThrasher]

All their writing style revolves around making hits 😂 total posers now and then and forever

[@cpnstbn1266]

Yeah they should try to make songs that aren’t incredible and nobody likes and quit pretending to be one of the best selling musical acts of all time

[@PamelaThrasher]

Used key words, " pretending ", " musical acts" .... to serious music lovers, real bands have integrity, and music is not, or ever, about sales. They still blow now and forever hahahaha 😂

[@nicholsonjay4724]

If your name is any suggestion as to what kind of music you are into…I can see the mindset you are coming from. I understand that metal heads are usually introverted people with the idea that, “this music is mine!”…and then go hide it away like it’s some bone to be buried and dug up. I would want to write music that others like as well….that they can relate to as well. Any artist wants their art to be consumed by as many people as possible. If they say otherwise…they are lying.

[@todds.6028]

Nobody has ever needed a full-blown mustache more than Chad. He's second only to Sam Elliott (Google Sam Elliott Justified and you'll see what I mean)

[@TananJess]

Brantley Gilbert and Jelly Roll an he's done some stuff with demun Jones everything I've heard from Brantley has been good, it's cool that Nickelback is going to have him on tour with them.
