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

[@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

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]

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

[@DJAUDIO1]

We don't deserve this at all. Amazing interview.

[@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.

[@krock123]

I've always loved Nickelback and have been proud of them being Canadian, I love them even more after this.

[@thenewyearsgrinch]

Shoutout to poison City Records, on Ryans Shirt. Based in Melbourne Australia and have put out some great albums. One of the driving forces keeping Alt/Punk music alive in Melbourne.

[@danielreed5199]

A huge mark of respect when a famous band is more nervous about an interview than the interviewer.

[@andregordon2599]

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

[@JM-fc9gm]

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

Great interview! You actually did your research unlike most interviewers who ask the most predictable questions lol, awesome job! Love these guys!

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.

[@SRGoldfish]

Nardwuar is so F-ing sick! He literally makes anyone he’s interviewing open up cause he brings them down memory lane. They seemed to just be happy talking about stuff they never talk about……lol….apparently not even to each other. Amazing. Thank you.
