There was a culture around this label as there generally was around labels during this time, and earlier , and Nickelback even though their early music was a little less top 40 and little more heavy did not fit in. Right off the bat, they were mocked mercilessly by most members of the metal community, who were generally the only ones hearing their music at the time. People were also disgruntled by how much time and resources Roadrunner was putting into the band.
The promo sampler the label sent out to radio deejays and other industry personnel led off with Nickelback and went on to feature new songs by Slipknot, Machinehead and Nightwish. One of these things was not like the other.

It was the only album to sell more than two million copies worldwide that year. Around that same time, something interesting was happening that might have subconsciously turned millions of people into Nickelback haters. It was a panel comedy show where four comedians discussed topical news stories, and the network advertised the hell out of it. The joke had the same allure of those typically made about Creed, but this one was broadcast over and over again on national TV.
People eventually forgot the ad and the exact joke, but the sentiment behind it had the staying power to put Nickelback on the map as a hated band, a joke. From then on, the idea of hating Nickelback definitely grew organically, but the band and its members ended up doing a lot to unintentionally add fuel to the fire.
In July , Nickelback released their fifth U. It saw overwhelmingly negative reviews from music critics, and some have even deemed it the worst song of all time. We've received your submission. Some are looking for love; others money in the form of Bitcoin or iTunes gift cards. None of them are real, but committed supporters respond anyway, on the off chance their celebrity crush is on the other side of the screen.
Report any accounts that are claiming otherwise. Friendly reminder that the only official Nickelback Twitter account is right here, along with Mr. Look for the blue checkmark to know it's the real deal on all social networks. I can only imagine that fans the front rows were eyebrow-less the next day. They had a bunch of pyros and stage antics.
I was standing at front of house, and literally could feel the heat on my face. It was that extravagant. There was A LOT of fire. I was in the pit for two of them. The others I was just in seating. I remember one in Cincinnati in the summer—they had Bush as one of their opening bands and they were awesome. I always tell people they put on a fantastic live performance and they truly respect and care about their fans! Their music has always been a bonding thing for my mom and I. So that's why they are special to me.
Chad and the guys engage with the audience in a way that is totally comfortable. Fans of the Canadian rock band had mixed opinions after the US president tweeted a popular Nickelback meme. Online, the Canadian rock band is shorthand for conservative white guys in trucker hats who still hate the ex they broke up with four years ago; and so, despite them not having released a record in two years, the internet is brimming with Nickelback memes.
One such meme was circulated by Trump on Wednesday, in an apparent attempt to shift attention away from ongoing impeachment proceedings against him.
