[@oklavnadnerb]

I love how they can go from singing about forbidden sex to world peace to getting drunk. There's a Nickelback song for everybody, but I don't understand why these guys get so much hatred that they don't deserve at all.

[@P4TzY]

thats the reason why they get hate. they do everything ^^

[@ItsYaBoi888]

@@P4TzY everyone does everything though. That's called being human, no?

[@schumi9xwdc]

Sociopathic Jealousy

[@owendurkin6292]

Daniel is an absolute monster of a drummer.

[@StefanP742]

Can say that again!💪🏻

[@1244B]

People who pretend not to like them are just trying to be cool because they want to fit in. Nickelback absolutely rocks!

[@bagofchips8813]

1244B one time they eere interviewed by a guy from the rolling stone mag, and the guy was going to put a good word in the magazine for them but the chief editor told him to change it to a negative one. anything famous seems to be plagued with politics right?

[@schumi9xwdc]

Be a Leader, not a follower!

[@mjmjphillips]

They smashed that gig! Many other bands should take note at how these guys sound live. Killer!

[@koma7265]

Yes they are the best band live I have ever seen , they live to stay on the road and tour , masters @ there craft for sure 💪🔥

[@tobycatVA]

Two brothers, a best friend from middle school, and a world class drummer absolutely killing it. Every school kids rock and roll dream.

[@christhornycroft3686]

These guys are the only true stadium rock band I can think of anymore. Stadium rock used to be big in the 80s with hair metal.

[@MiguelBruzualC]

Chad made a really big effort with the high notes on 'Burn it to the ground'...

[@agari508]

I saw nickelback perform once at citadel hill in Nova Scotia it was awesome

[@jonathanemens7881]

Nickelback is one of my favorite bands of all time there .

[@jonathanemens7881]

Nickelback Fan Forever and ever .

[@cerndo]

this was the best halftime show at a grey cup ever...

[@srpolkowski]

so much better then the superbowl halftime show

[@agari508]

What a performance

[@48lilyofthevalley]

The halftime dancers were from the United Way to help raise money with the song ''When We Stand Together'. That is why they played it in Detroit, too. The UW was in charge of that show and they asked Nickelback to represent them with that song. Nickelback was NOT paid in Detroit. They love to do Charity work. They had the freedom to do any song in Vancouver, but they wanted to keep helping with the fundraising. UW dancers might not be the best, but they are their for 'all the right reasons'.

[@ArdenWolfwatcher]

Third time watching their half-time show. Saw it live, watching it again now. Great job Nickelback.

[@homerrulezzzz]

I so wanted them to perform bottoms up. No other song gets me pumped like that one. Still they did great

[@agari508]

I'm going to see nickel acknowledged again hopefully when they play live in Rogers arena this year whenever that starts I don't remember

[@kims2467]

I love the versatility of this band! I really hope one day they play the Halftime show for the Super Bowl

[@schumi9xwdc]

Just Love those Mesa Boogie Cabinet's

[@48lilyofthevalley]

Nickelback never lip syncs! Chad knows how to handle the lead vocals and Mike, Ryan, and Daniel all do back-ups.

[@THECAUZMACJOKER]

Nickelback is totally AWESOME! Their my favorite band and they always will be! :)

[@Rose34561]

THECAUZMACJOKER same

[@canadianmike711]

Canadians = Nickelback Rocks Americans = Nickelback Sucks

[@Thomz03]

Now thats a half time show...a lot better than the Superbowl's

[@TheSeanMcLean]

I'm not going to lie, that was the best half time show I've ever seen even though I don;t watch much football.Yeah maybe Chad didn't sing the chorus but thats because he has like a really bad throat, if you watched The Hour interview he was clearing his throat a lot. But they are one of the only bands that can perform as good or better live then on their album.

[@user-jl3ke9ek1j]

This was just a few years b4 he found out that he had a cyst on his voice box

[@agari508]

now thats a halftime show!!!!

[@cafedelapaix]

From Quebec with love, guys. Who said Grey Cup halftime shows were nothing beside Super Bowl halftime shows ? Who said that again ? Lat time a halftime show use to be awesome at the Super Bowl was Bruce Springsteen. Folks, thumbs up if Canada rocks!

[@user-jl3ke9ek1j]

I'm not even Canadian but I wanna be so bad

[@ntfd125]

That Dunnet snare drum sounds great!!!

[@DarkOmegaZero]

Amazing performance, I woulda killed to be in that crowd or at least have watched it live :/ but alas, it's not ment to be

[@BlazingCoast]

BEST HALFTIME SHOW EVER!

[@snowplane]

These guys have it all together` tunes, sound and their playing'' and man do they kick some ass!

[@kagomefan101]

Haters can STFU. Nickelback was amazing at halftime. I don't get why the get so much hate, I mean I'm not really a fan of them but I think they're great.

[@BenLeFarfadet]

Best part of the grey cup actullly.

[@MsLeigh65]

Love my Nickelback boys ~ can't wait to see them again in 2012!!! Can't get here quick enough for me.. :)

[@Doomsday604]

I was there in person. Not the biggest Nickelback fan, but it was a great halftime show. The pyro and atmosphere was pretty hype.

[@emochick56651]

They kicked ass once again! And I love Chad's hair cut♥ Nickelback fan for life♥

[@darinavery]

probably the best grey cup performance to date

[@snowplane]

Great drum sound!

[@rockymountainpot]

To anyone who thought this half time show was bad, just look at the next one; Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen and Marinas Trench. I thought football was a manly sport...

[@bagofchips8813]

rockymountainpot LOL i second this statement. (¬ ͜ʖ¬)

[@Canada76]

Nicks is awesome live! Great show!!

[@lowlife1027]

00:22 Animals 03:35 When we stand together 06:42 burn it to the ground

[@25brad25251]

All the haters can shut it, this was not lip sync'd one of the better half time show's in recent memory!

[@1992Hando]

They awesome as always.Nickelback 4ever

[@TheDavinci314]

To the people that think they suck. I don't see you being invited by the CFL to perform. I also don't see you putting out albums and going on tour. And for the people that post in here that they hate Nickleback, why the hell are you on youtube watching Nickleback?For example; I don't like Celine Dion, you won't see me watching her on KZbin and posting comments. I have better things to do in my life. Guess some of you have exciting lives sitting on the couch.

[@MrBonzo97]

this rubs up beside the superbowls halftime

[@Lillinha]

Perfect *-* Love Nickelback so much s2

[@CANADIANamI013]

@Luc799 LOL. Take your blind hate elsewhere, love them or hate them, Nickelback tore the roof off the place!

[@buckmaster1989]

@Etienne12321 That's because Ryan Peake is singing it....

[@canucksgo]

i dont care if you like nickback or not...but you cant ignore the fact that they blew the roof off of BC place!!!!!!!!

[@ChrisDynamo]

It's weird really; with their new album out and everything, you'd think they'd be promoting it by playing songs FROM THAT NEW ALBUM. First on the Jimmy Kimmel show and now this, they're giving the impression that people should buy the album because Nickelback were good in the past, rather than because the new album is awesome. Poor management there.

[@user-jl3ke9ek1j]

When we stand together is from here and now which was new at the time of this vids recording

[@TheHardLine123]

this was a good performance! but as big of a nickelback fan i am, i have to say, the chorus for burn it to the ground was definitely either lip sync'd or there was a back track of the chorus

[@ScarletDragonwraith]

he got a hair cut!!

[@paigescottinni]

i love nickelback ! :) awesome performance :)

[@Agmerch96]

Can't wait till Ottawa get's a team in 2013!

[@TheZappawizard]

not too shabby, Dunnett snare drum FTW!

[@bunktuzzi44]

@dpickle18 great work getting the stage set up and torn down so quickly!

[@xdam3007]

unfortunate that they lip synced the chorous in burn it to the ground, and you cant even tell me no, its so obvious lol.

[@tl124]

Thanks for posting mate!

[@snowplane]

Great band'' Canada`s new April Wine!

[@brogurt98]

@TheSeanMcLean I thought it sounded different! it sounded like he sang the chorus for Burn It To The Ground though.

[@lesleyfisher4812]

thanks for saving this :)

[@Unrattled]

@Etienne12321 I have to agree man. It sounds like they are using playback for the main chorus, but oh well.

[@user-hd8uk3ep2y]

Great❤❤❤❤❤

[@snowplane]

I`am a former drummer myself of over 20 years, but i can`t tell if the band is really singing or was this show lip synced. I understand that things have to be perfect for tv but it`s a drag if they were not playing and singing their own songs!

[@ashleyroxy1994]

@1969DayTripper Its like the Super Bowl but not as big lol. Its for the CFL.

[@thumblesswonder]

@milanistaaa15 Why would you have been surprised? That's the point of these gigs coming right on the heals of releasing a new album. I was surprised that they *didn't* play more new songs; at least "Bottoms Up" since that was the other single they released.

[@etienne_latte_art_journey]

@buckmaster1989 Listen carefully before the switch between the verse and the chorus ! You'll hear the difference, you can hear that a track is covering Chad's voice...

[@Alncarmnz]

Strong performance for halftime. I dont know 2012 halftime so gay.

[@canadianmike711]

Yes, that justin bieber. One year after mistletoe, he got booed that grey cup

[@65coupestang]

THIS MOST CERTAINLY ISN'T THEIR SONG "BURN IT TO THE GROUND" WHICH I HAD SEARCHED AN THIS POPPED UP AS A RESULT🤔🤷‍♂️🤨🤦‍♂️👎👎AURRGH ERRGH GAURRGH SMFH URGH..!!

[@cahones]

Just a dandy performance, it was the best part of the Grey Cup bar none. Nobody really gives a fuck about cfl football anyway besides Saskachewan and people with nothin better to do on a random night. Its pretty funny how people continually diss them too, it actually makes me like them even more.

[@TheHardLine123]

the entire performance was great, really great! but i'm dissapointed that they lip synced the chorus for burn it to the ground, chad sounded good for the rest of the song, i'm not sure why he had to lip sync the chorus. if you compare this to other live videos you'll see a major difference in the chorus. other than that, nice performance :)

[@stuntcock01]

i'm not a fan of nickelback... at all. BUT that way MUCH MUCH better than black eyed peas 1/2 time show at the grey cup last time it was in vancouver.

[@redsunsleader]

Chad looks a lot better without the Curly mullet lol, still great performance

[@homerrulezzzz]

@cafedelapaix do you mean to say that the who at the superbowl wasn't awesome?

[@snowplane]

I don`t know about you'' but i`d stand with these guys any day of the week, only wish i had the job instead of their drummer!

[@MaxwellWarawa]

well that was not needed, I my self live in Quebec in Saint Hubert, but the French have stopped attacking me 3 years ago, im originally from Ontario. but they have calmed down. now its all abut the intuitions and them banding together to fight it

[@VANDRO81]

I was hoping they would do their cover of "Legs" by ZZ top. oh well. Good set tho.

[@nandamatthos7831]

Essa voz? 👏👏

[@oliviaaunt5]

wow Chad's hair looks sooo hot !!!

[@agari508]

Nickelback again I meant

[@ChrisDynamo]

@milanistaaa15 - I've never been to a concert, but I'd definitely go to a Nickelback one. HELL YES.

[@PEIN1518]

@snowplane yea this is real playing

[@dexbro05]

after the 2012 half time show nickleback doesnt seem so bad..

[@angjegjergji8451]

rock

[@cafedelapaix]

@clintos007 Thank you very much, man!

[@Luc799]

A huge stage filled with flashing lights and pyrotechnics and a bunch of douche bags couldn't hide the fact that Nickleback's show was half as good and half as energetic as Arkells kickoff show. Talent outweighs image every time.

[@scottlally4030]

WHATS THE NAME OF THIS SONG

[@cog1140]

Both Krueger boys can sing!

[@ChrisDynamo]

@milanistaaa15 -Fair enough, but how much more awesome would it have been if they played say, This Means War? That would've shut the haters up lol.

[@1969DayTripper]

what is the grey cup?

[@bananakinskywalker8095]

It doesn't matter whether or not you're a fan. Name a current band (aside from Linkin Park) that is as big as Nickelback

[@treeman2146]

Ryan McCarthy red got chili peppers and ffdp I can't think of any more too late at night to think

[@Iamjayrussell]

There isn’t

[@gvin9464]

KISS still lol

[@I.blom93]

Chad hair looks great

[@VibesWhileHigh]

How do you explain Justin Bieber?

[@justinvrastiaktill7659]

🤘🤘🔥🔥

[@eboni730]

by the wayk i love nickelback i love chad eboni

[@tdowhan55]

ugh why did he have to lip sinc the chorus for burn it to the ground! Fack!

[@raquel1234ful]

@ScottMGalbraith yeah it is big time i love nickelback as much as the rest of canada but yeah that was clearly lip sycend

[@GreaseMonkey1137]

How do you know. I’ve seen them live and this sounds like when I saw them

[@cafedelapaix]

@allahisgod1000 I hope the Als will win again, but from a guy from Quebec (in Laurentians), I also hope to see an expansion in Ottawa and Quebec City.

[@KrlySue]

AWESOME! half time show. not sure what idiots dont like NICKELBACK.

[@jakmond2345]

@Sueannef89 When we stand together

[@Texan45]

dude, seriously. That's not cool nor is it nesessary. And you don't have to listen to them play, nobody forced you.

[@jevich66]

@1969DayTripper ill give u the answer its a cup and its grey lol
