I love how Bryan Adam’s was actually in the crowd as well I bet he must’ve been so proud to have heard such a fantastic cover of his song

I don't enjoy Nickelback, but they're the best Metallica tribute band in the world. Evidently the best Bryan Adams tribute as well. There are a lot of worse things than that.

[@Khumin-cyder]

Never hated them, still remember being a young lad, finding dark horse album on my dad's shelf, asking if it's a good band, he took the CD out, and I quote "boy, you're gonna love it"

[@506-siddhantjadhav7]

Wow!! Chad’s naturally raspy voice made this song even better . Absolutely loved this version !! ❤️❤️

I Love Bryan Adams & NickelBack.... Shock the hell outta me when I realized I was standing right beside Bryan & didn't even notice until he looked at me & said what an awesome song & amazing tribute to Bryan Adams, I nearly hit the floor.... NickelBack is so underrated & I'll never understand why so many people don't like them.

An absolute classic perfectly reinterpreted and sung. Bryan Adams must be impressed too👏👍

[@damotheman4196]

"reinterpreted"? Id slightly argue the fact you think it's a "reinterpretation".. Id more call it a carbon copy. Nothing wrong with that, though. Its a beatifully written pop/rock song. I like when they are left as they should be. Good performance. Happy Holidays.

[@damotheman4196]

@@alexandrap.1632 "grandiose"? Chad Kroeger? We're on different planets here ma'am! 😂 Chads voice is so far from "grandiose".. Im wondering if we're talking about the same spit n sawdust voice thats been their USP all these years? (im slightly pulling your leg buuut ill say find me 50 people who thinks Chads voice is "grandiose" and ill show you 47 liars and 3 crazy people, which one are you? 🤔😜) once again, just teasing.

I can't stop listening to this. I love both Bryan Adams & of course Nickelback. Can you imagine these guys doing a couple more of Bryan Addams songs - "Everything I Do, I Do It For You" or "Cuts Like A Knife" or any other song...

[@derekgeldreich7760]

I'd love to hear them do a cover of Cuts Like A Knife. Now that I read your comment I don't think I'll ever stop hoping for that now.
