[@jackmeoff7953]

I actually know Nickelback. I have a long history with them. I met 3 Doors Down when they were just starting out and touring with Creed. I then met Nickelback when they were touring with 3DD. I was really tight with their first drummer Ryan (Vick) Vickedal. When Chad did Hero for Spider-Man Soundtrack we were at the Breslin Center in Lansing and Chad looked at me and said, "Rich you're a huge Spider-Man fan aren't you?" I was and said "yes", Chad said "dude you gotta see the Video we shot for Hero and we went to the back of their tour bus and he played me the video with the footage from the movie. It was awesome. Nickelback took a lot of shit on tour during the State. Other bands would make fun of the songs, like Cowboy Hat and Breath. So I watched as Chad turned into a ridiculous song writer with hit after hit. I thought and argued that 3DD would be the bigger band and I was wrong. Nickelback is a great band and I have video footage of Chad dancing and mocking it up for the camera during a 3DD soundcheck in Detroit at Pine Knob. Let the haters hate, that's their job.

But I enjoyed Savin' Me, another great song, and the popular stuff like Photograph, Animals, and I forget what else. It's unfortunate for them that somehow they got randomly picked as the target of some internet meme, because it's not like there's anything outrageous about them that warrants the hate.
