Nickelback could literally never get cancelled by the media. They are to busy rockin out and canceling themselves! Love it! Long rock n roll nickelback!

One of the most amazing things about Chad is that he can turn almost anything into a melody.. Once a heard an interview of Ryan saying how Chad is creative, not only for compose the melodies but also the lyrics... such an amazing artist

[@irenerhynes6732]

This man is so talented. The whole band is so amazing. And so humble.

Chad gets better and better every year ❤️❤️ Amazing voice 👏 🙌 😍

[@mynamesjeffhardly]

They are being slept on. They have some really classic and creative songs. This is one of those songs even their haters would like or grow to like if they stop denying it. Such a classic.

[@chrisdayplays]

They sold over 50 million albums lmfao. No one is sleeping on them but I will say a group of people/sheep thought it upon themselves to hate them. Real ones know how good they are.

[@MrParkerman6]

Chad himself said it wasn't creative and was a fluke!

[@Abridgimation]

Or people just don't particularly enjoy hearing about what the hell is on Joey's head... People will literally defend a pile of shit if it's the cool thing nowadays...

[@ermarios3184]

Yeah I love the wonderful song of Photograph, it is nice song, I can't remember the old photo not fade the several time it was a young life, so this song was related in my whóle life! Thanks the NickleBack Band 🎶🎧🎸
