[@staceyroberts3468]

Yeh, it seemed if you sang rock songs and then they turn out to sell millions and be popular with radio listeners….. you get hated on and accused of being a sellout. Other bands went thru it too…… Journey w Steve is a prime example!!! They gave Creed a hard time and I loved their songs! Biggest example would be when Sammy joined Van Halen!! Because their stuff w Sammy was so popular… they roasted them. I think Sammy and Eddie created magic 😎 ❤

[@JamesBarker-qt3pb]

Yeah Yes He Chad Kroger Sure Is

[@DammDamian]

His voice is good man just love his perfect control on the grit

[@ST077]

Fun fact: the grit is a malformation of his vocal chords, so he's basically putting NO EFFORT in singin like this. It's just his "natural" way of doing the job.

[@JTisBRUTAL]

Its been fun seeing them live through the meme and embrace it. Seem like cool dudes.

[@midnightrambler8065]

Yeah I’ve never understood why people act like it’s the end of the world if you like this band. They act like as if Nickelback committed MURDER 🤣

[@rturner9]

They're not "cool dudes". At least Chad isn't. Their a toxic mess of doing whatever they need to do to stay relevant. In their case, all of the memes and jokes only aided in keeping them relevant. Bad press is good press type thing.

[@stephenroth3299]

"I damn near sang it with a country twang" You did! YOU ABSOLUTELY DID 😂

[@Brento44]

I saw them open for Creed in 1999 here in Montreal. I think it was their first album. The blew the roof off of the place! They were a killer band before the schlock rock!

[@DB-xd7sr]

That is truly the Butt rock concert of the century

[@yepper1165]

Much like people say of Metallica. They used to rip but became pop hard rock. Sounds like their latest album got a bit harder again though.

Woulda been their second album i think. Funny though cause nickelback sorta replaced Creed lol

Dudes super talented I have no idea why people rip on them.they are great live. And they are actually real musicians ,and not drugged out junkies like most of the rockstars... They deserve waay more respect.

[@smarkmalark]

They were great. They just hand the multi personality disorder when it came to any band. They tried country, then they did mostly loud rock, now they’re trying to be an intense metal band. It just doesn’t work like that, so obviously people started clowning on them, and made them out to be extreme posers in any genre. Not that their music is bad at all, it’s just the feel and nature is too messed up. That’s just my personal idea

[@scottkingsley6905]

They’re a heavy band, who adopted the pop music formula. I still think it’s good music, but it’s not the heavy Nickelback from 1999.

[@eldirtyfaygo5395]

They are formulaic. They don't deviate from the basics be it good or bad.

[@precisionsoundworksstudio]

There ya go, you said it! Agreed!

[@Facerip]

They are basically a popband posing as a rockband. Their songs are uninspiring and boring for most people who dont just listen to whatever is on the radio. They are just as successful as they deserve to be and get just the amount of respect that comes with it.
