This video shows they're solid musicians and entertaining performers, but I've always found their songwriting subpar. A better producer could have demanded better songs or set them up with some professional songwriting partners. I know they've sold millions of records, but I think they could have been pushed to greatness.

I find it so ridiculous that Nickelback was swept into a wave of dislike. They have sold 50 million records worldwide and just checking Spotify 10.5 Million monthly listeners.- why ? because people ENJOY the music. Chad is a great singer and the band is talented and they write great songs. Simplistic, Cookie cutter, or what ever the critics say - SO what ? there are many hits that are simple that are based on proven templates. An example - a band that does not deserve their fame - KISS .. they have a few worthy songs but thats it - they suck ! its the theatrics that made them popular - did you ever see a mass uprising against KISS ? To each his own - if you never liked Nickelback music, fine. The problem I have is the sheep-like (people that can not think for themselves) following after some haters started an Anti-Nickelback movement. It somehow became the cool thing to dish them and the uncool thing to like them. So, you were a fan and then you ditch them and follow along ? Rock Radio stations that made good money on them suddenly started advertising (along with of a list of other bands - Michael jackson, etc LOL) that they were Nickelback free ! disgusting. Music is to enjoy - lift your spirit, dance, or chill ! period

I hate the mentality people have with supporting Nickelback just because they cover a song well. This could have easily been an original Nickelback song and they would have got crap for it. And don't get me started on when people all of a sudden praise them because they cover a Metallica song well. These people have it in their minds that "heavier" sounding music like Metallica's "Sad But True" is better than lighter sounding. It's such a stupid mentality. If you're gonna hate on anything that sounds lighter than metal, then you might as well be hating on some of the most praised musicians we have had. Nickelback don't deserve the hate. As a musician myself I honestly think Chad is one of the best musicians of the modern rock scene. Much better than the likes of Dave Grohl and Corey Taylor, that's for sure. I understand some people will be gobsmacked at this comment. But i'm only giving my point of view as a singer, guitarist and songwriter. I'm not giving my point of view as someone who reads what a hater on the internet says with loads of upvotes and then forms my opinion from reading their upvoted comment thinking it's the right view and then going on to regurgitate it influencing more people to have the same stupid, negative view.
