Never felt more connected to Chad Kroeger than when he threw his head back and laughed the moment the headphones kicked out "IIIIIT'S BEEN" and then repeated it several more times.

[@Bi-Bi-Bi-myself]

That is how I would be bro 👌

[@bobwasherenotthere]

If you and your buddies were drunk at "2:30am woulf you crank that" is exactly how nickelback writes their music

[@Demon__Killer007]

Well it works cause their an amazing band

[@Demon__Killer007]

K

[@MonkeMan003]

bobwasherenotthere lol, for me that would be burn it to the ground and this afternoon

[@steeveewuzzheer1992]

Came here to say this; it’s so accurate.

[@bobwasherenotthere]

let me re-phrase that: there is a time and a place for nickleback and its when you and your buddies are drunk at 2:30 am

[@TheMikeMorra]

I dont speak russian

[@truculentanimations99]

lol

[@colinascarte1894]

and its spanish

[@jcap7529]

Michael Lex it had me dead

[@agnesfonmarten]

russians must be pissed off

[@Rau-AR]

i think he was just jking about it.

[@murderotica_]

I can’t stop laughing at Chad going “ITS BEEEENNN” 😂

[@xvx_k1r1t0_xvxkillme2]

I love how Chad just defends his love for ABBA like Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls. To quote Dipper "when a girly pop song comes on the radio, sometimes, I leave it on! 'Cause dang it, top 40 hits are in the top 40 for a reason! They're catchy!"

[@zachone172]

You should've played them Slipknot. Curious to see if they think they're a jam or not lmao

[@cbcmusic]

lol

[@broheimbrewing1111]

Chad would obviously have said no

[@1123120]

Steve Perry excuse me sir slipknot is better by miles

[@nelsonferreirajr.2108]

Steve Perry multi platinum since album #1 for slipknot

Chad's reaction on Bieber's voice when Despacito started 😭😂😂😂😂❤

[@shadowmcintyretm9295]

Kariiim Rival 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 xD

[@drummerboy9822]

Kariiim Rival I agree with him. Bieber ruined that song. Original version is definitely the best

[@Clawhead19]

Yes.

[@soneetajusana]

He goes I don't speak Russian 🤣🤣

[@caitlindaniels1999]

Chad's face about Bieber had me pissing myself laughing 😂😂😂

[@luthfilhaleeq3765]

CHAD : its Been! Me : *dead laughing* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ronzakproductions]

Luthfil Haleeq He reminds me of Kyle from the makemebad35 videos.

[@enanena-mg3yu]

why he laugh?

[@420Bassist]

Chad and Ryan seem like cool guys to grab a beer with. Idk why, I get that vibe.

[@christapage5858]

"Its been" "its not a jam its a gem" "i dont speak russian" "jam" (abba song) i cant help it i love chad i think hes funny as hell

[@genevievedalmas721]

I agree with you❤

[@drinkingpoolwater]

for all the heat these guys get - they seem like down to earth fun dudes. i'll never speak a bad word about nickelback.

[@Texan45]

It's amazing to me how Chad still has a remarkable singing voice when he's yelling everything out on stage, especially the harsher tunes they put out lol

[@MrEvan312]

Jesus... just realized that I had never heard Chad's voice when he's not singing before.

[@mortensenvick5711]

damn you lost a lot of funny interviews

[@itfl4661]

"I have done two songs with Carlos Santana" flex lmao

[@cstumpy51]

Chad's fascination with the lyrics "it's been" kills me

[@ltr9698]

*intro guitar chords, coarse voice, holding a jar of jam to the camera LOOK AT THIS JAAAM

We can see the video now!

[@seanslawson98]

I love Chads reaction during Moth into Flame. No emotion

[@laurarami7240]

Sean Slawson he's singing in the end.... Stop bitching 😐

[@crazyfish8747]

@R!OT EARTH Metallica are completely overrated. I know what Chad was thinking when listening to the Metallica song. He was probably thinking how boring it is. Awful vocal melodies. Chad is far more talented. Also remember, heavy music does not equal better.

[@cellyzs]

I mean moth into a flame is not that great of a song. I found that whole album to be kind of boring besides a few songs.

[@mfrommi6593]

@R!OT EARTH the long road and dark horse

[@TheLarknessMonster]

@@crazyfish8747 Chad is a huge Metallica fan.............. They have covered Sad But True lol. Idiot

[@genevievedalmas721]

Did anyone realize that Chad Kroeger loves ABBA and all their songs, knowing how great and amazing they are and the amazing things they have done. ❤❤❤❤ ABBA has to be one of his favorite bands in the world.

[@TheOlympia94]

3870 views. I love Nickelback ten years now...! :')

Haha

[@noahthegentile]

1:54

[@chevaunedwards9849]

I laughed when Chad Kroeger laugh at the starting of the song One Week by Barenaked Ladies. I couldn't help myself. He sounded fantastic when he said that. When he had a go at saying a few words from it like I couldn't stop laugh.

[@chevaunedwards9849]

Also when Chad Kroeger recognize that ABBA: Take A Chance On Me was a Jam was fascinating.

[@cbcmusic]

100%!

[@MrChristianDT]

They did do a Latin crossover with Santana-- Into the Night. Even better, since Santana's more a guitar guy, anyway, it's entirely just Chad singing.

[@MrChristianDT]

And they brought it up immediately after I said it.. lol

[@ryanpham3308]

That was just Chad, I believe.

[@mortensenvick5711]

he did "why don't you and I" that's even better than the other song

[@upallnightwithyabois3553]

ITS BEEN lol. I love Nickelback idc who knows it

Lol chad’s reaction I don’t speak Russian killed me

Man, what a way to be respectful. It's true, a lot of these songs I wouldn't "jam out to" but there are way too many artists on this show just hating on the artists for no particular reason.

Why because they were one of the first bands signed to Chad's record label? Lol

[@DrJellyFanguzzz]

They would have looked at each other like spiderman.

[@tpags7398]

He would be like “is this us”

[@eltravos99]

Holy crap, his love for ABBA explains A LOT.

[@lorimrasek7611]

Just wondering why Chad knows so much about ABBA??? LOL

[@tesswoodard8949]

Lori Mrasek who doesn't? he is my age it was our music growing up and in tons of movies

[@heav3n_ly]

Because they're a great group and their music is a lot better than a lot of stuff that's out now. I'm only almost 16 but I've grown up listening to Abba.

[@alphaholloway]

Lori Mrasek why not. ABBA is the best. Im 15 and I know a lot about abba

[@mfrommi6593]

Hes feom the ABBA generation

[@grimweb3]

knowing me knowing you

[@bencooke-nobackupdream9281]

1:47 Chad’s laugh is GREAT

[@PygmaApril]

The fact that they liked almost everything explains a lot of their songwriting decisions.

[@gringochucha]

Nickelback may not be my style of music, but Chad clearly knows his shit.

Got the urge to listen to some Nickelback-Lite jams now.
