Same. And if they treat em bad, we don’t forget. I’m looking at you Travis barker!

Well you must hate blur then

[@MrProccy]

Totally. This made me hate their sound a lot less.

[@NooDLES411911]

I'm a huge metalhead, listen to a lot of Opeth, Gojira, Judas Priest, Metallica and I don't even hate nickelback. They've got lots of good songs

[@aleksrozum1594]

[@davemakesnoises]

every story i've heard from my friends in the music business who have worked with or run into nickelback over the years confirms what this interview confirms, Nickelback are very nice, smart, funny, and down to earth people.

[@JTguitarlessons]

And super professional!

[@001100AAAEA]

Smart is questionable

[@WilliamMaranciMashups]

chad singing “voodoo lady” by ween was the kind of magic you could only get from a nardwuar interview

[@jonahledesma]

I love hearing Chad and Ryan reminisce. Best friends vibes totally.

[@robfrith1]

The band was just as nice before and after the interview, as they were on camera. Nice guys.

[@kelownatechkid]

Thank you for sharing this Rob! :)

[@ITSONSIGHT.]

Rob, I'd love to come in and buy a Death record. Your store is so iconic.

[@LuckyAceCard]

The fact that nardwuar remembers everything from each conversation perfectly like 5 years later is just wild to me, I wish I could have that kind of memory for motivational quotes

[@phillipcummings3518]

Probably doesn't do any drugs

[@Richie632]

Of all the positive things there is to say about Nardwuar, I haven't seen anyone point out his exceptionally professional mic-holding skills.

[@hunterkarr5618]

Yes he is 100% accurate with his motion haha

[@patricksmyth7156]

These guys clearly know and love music. Nardwuar striking gold once again showing people in a new light.

[@BurningBlaze55]

He has really good mic movement. Very good at knowing when to move to each person when they are talking to each other.

[@jw2862]

Great interview, I might even say the best interview with them like ever. Been a fan since 98

I'll always respect Nickelback for "the side of a bullet" dimebag tribute. They where good in the early 00's it's no wonder they got huge

[@juwonikemoses2045]

Same here. Saw the performance Side of the Bullet from their 'Live at Sturgis' concert and had automatic respect for them

I randomly listened to that song this past November, but I had no idea it was about Dimebag!!! That's awesome they made a tribute for him

I’ve seen these guys live 10 times and they kill it every time 🔥 I grew up just like them in a rural Canadian town playing in cover bands, even a few of their songs. So this was great to see, awesome interview

You can hear them lean on their accents a little bit more than usual. Always fun to take people down memory lane

Likely because they’re being interviewed by a Canadian, too. Total Alberta accent.

Man, I kind of want more bands from this Era like Seether, Saliva...90's, early 2000's grunge and alternative for Nardwuar to interview. Also surprised no current country artists are available for him to interview....I love deep diving into all these artists with him.

[@CosMos16R]

[@DJKuroh]

I feel bad I've been saying "crow-ger" when he says "krew-ger".

Not my go-to band but they're great at what they do, and much respect to anyone who gives Nardwuar the respect he deserves. This was very Canadian - can we get a long-form roundtable interview with say, Chad, Alanis, Celine and Alex Lifeson? I wish you had gotten to interview Gordon Lightfoot.

[@briangilmore2256]

Nardwaur having nickel back “look at this photograph” lol

[@UlyKansas]

Nickelback isn’t a bad band imo, I watched a video recently where a guy did a study on why they were so hated & it basically stems from the radio playing their songs back to back (these guys made some great songs but were overplayed) which annoyed everyone & someone on the internet started a trend that “hating nickelback is cool” & whoever trashed them is part of the “meme”. People love being a part of the mob & are afraid of being left out.

[@lush_carter]

Funny because I assume that trend only made them more money 💀

[@tedmuta6833]

They were overplayed but from what I remember, it was songs like SEX and Animals that were just a little too on the nose and cemented them as a kind of pop rock band, who, with songs like Rockstar, were trying too hard to be actual rock stars. They probably wouldn’t have had deeper album cuts get popular as singles if it wasn’t for their success more generally, but that’s what I remember being the thing that pushed them from band that makes decent ballads/jams to the meme choosing them as the poster child of the dated-sounded 00s rock era.

[@alex_8025]

I love that they all have some connection to nardwuar just by being canadian lol the rubber room in vancouver connection between chads brother and nardwuar is hilarious

[@zebragoboom]

20:00 "*wheeze* that dog is pissed" the most relatable thing ive ever seen in an interview

Thank you thank you thank you. keep on rocking and stuff. No doubt that this is gonna get some heat, but please keep acknowledging Canadian bands. How about Joe Evil from Grim Skunk? Or Damien Robitaille? Or so many more...

[@BoxesOfFoxes]
