The songs of Nickelback played in almost every radio station back in the days, the band composed with Chad Kroeger (Vocal and guitar), Ryan Peake (Guitar), Mike Kroeger (Bass) and Daniel Adair (Drums) made a good work with the musics and album released in the beginning of the 00´s.
The band started in 1995, and the first work was they´r album "the Curb" that came out in September of 1996, and since then they already brought us 10 album´s with good music, specially the 2005 album "All the right reasons" (this album was marked also because of the change of the drummer, and was the first album that Daniel Adair recorded) and the 2001 album "Silver slide Up", were the most famous and listened albums of the band.
The record label of Nickel Back between 1999 and 2017 was the roadrunner records, the same label as Slipknot and Sepultura, and this was a little controversial detail because the label by itself was recognized more to a Metal stuff, then a alternative or Rock style of music, and Nickel back were different then all of the bands in the label, so this was a impact that could be a risk or something that would be insinuated for a good point of view in the music for the label (and was that the case fortunately).
The fact that they were hated its just a trend of that time, and it was just a bare hate current without any sense or specific cause of it. I am one of the those people who appreciated (and still) they work, and they´r musics. Nowadays it´s notable that they´r style have a a few details of pop rock, a more heavy rock and even a slice of country and more mature lyrics.
I hope they keep going good, as they remain, and of course also with good news and tours!!!
This is commercial rock this is good music, this is not the hate that was spreed of some empty minded people!! Respect Nickel Back they were part of the culture!
