I Never Thought I'd Say This... | Nickelback - "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" (REACTION) 

Nickelback lost their most hated band status to Imagine Dragons... And this is what they gave us to celebrate.

Everyone claims to hate them but, everyone sings along.

After they dropped their album Feed the Machine, I think Nickelback really showed people that they were willing and able to go heavy. The title track, "Coin for the Ferryman", "Betrayal (Act III)", "Must Be Nice", and "For the River" are some of the heaviest songs they've ever made and frankly I think they are some of the best!

Nickelback is and will always be my favourite band... I've been to 3 of their concerts, they go hard everytime! I don't care what anyone else says, I know I like them, and that's all that matters to me! 👍

I dont care what anyone says, Nickleback’s first two albums are really good.

Anyone else thought of Tenacious D while listening to this?

As a hardcore Nickelback fan, trust me on these bro: - Sad but True (Metallica Cover) - The Betrayal (Act III) - Feed the Machine - Coin for the Ferryman - Burn it to the Ground - Sharp Dressed Man (ZZ Top Cover) All very heavy songs they do, definitely check em out... You won't regret it mate! 😁👍

I'm not the biggest fan of Nickleback. But this song is undoubtedly fantastic.

Guess it is just "cool to hate" Nickelback. I for myself love them. Keep up your Uploads! Greetings from Germany \m/

WHAT IN THE HELL??? THAT WAS FRICKIN EPIC!!! I didn't know Nickelback could shred like that!!!

I’ve always loved nickel back.. my dad introduced me to them as a kid and I’ve loved them ever since.. I never understood why they were hated… And their concerts are dope.

You need to react to Side of a Bullet by Nickelback! Hands down their heaviest song... tribute to Dimebag!!

React to FEED THE MACHINE by nickelback !!!!

FINALLY man, I'm so happy you made a Nickelback reaction video and boy your reaction was priceless! Now it's time to react to some more Nickelback songs like Feed the Machine, This Means War, The Betrayal (Act III), Edge of a Revolution or Million Miles an Hour!

3:20 If you wanna hear more heavy metal-influenced songs from Nickelback, I'd say check out This Means War and Feed The Machine. I swear Chad even screams in Feed The Machine.

Oh good! Finally! Nickelback! Even I don’t know why Nickelback so much flak either like you said! My Mom is the one that introduced me to Nickelback because she’s always been a fan of Nickelback and guess what?! So have I! Anyway, looking forward to more Nickelback reactions like this one in the near future and I do mean in the near future so you better listen to me, Alex Hefner! Keep on rocking, bro!🎸🎸🎸

React to Burn it to the ground from them

Thank you for introducing me to this . I have been enjoying the original for over 25 years. But this was 'lit' as they say. What a great rendition.

I just discovered this cover last week and was completely blown away. Glad to see a reaction to it.

Dead By April - Warrior Amaranthe - GG6 Backyard Babies - Minus Celsius

FINALLY! I would definitely go for more Nickelback reax. Bring some awareness to the awesomeness that is Nickelback! Also, I didn't know you previously listened to them (not on here, obviously). They really go hard. Folks hate them because it's "cool to hate Nickelback".

"The Devil Went Down To Georgia" (Metal Cover) By Leo Moracchioli. Do it.

As a long time Nickleback fan, it amuses me when people say stuff like "That doesn't sound like Nickelback" - most of the time it's because they have only heard the "Radio Friendly" softer songs... but you hit on some of their albums - Dark Horse for one, and you begin to realise Nickelback are actually pretty heavy. And the Flak they get is just Internet stupidity...

I don't hate nickelback. Never been. I listened to some of their songs. But i can't recognize them here. They really change.

Steve Ouimette also does a really, REALLY good rock cover of this song, I think you'd like it. It was featured in Guitar Hero 3.

Ah! One of my state's songs. I used to watch the laser show of this song at Stone Mtn. Though, this is my first time listening to Nickelback's cover. I love this cover! Also, their rock version of the Devil looks like Hellboy. I have always liked Nickelback, and I will forever continue to do so. 😉

The best part is the baroq duet between both the guitars is what makes this even better.

Awesome cover. Wouldn't have thought it was Nickelback.

Yes 🤘🏼 Nickelback 1. Feed the Machine 2. Too Bad 3. Savin Me 4. The Betrayel (act 3)

How come no one is talking about korns version? I guess it doesn’t exist 🤷‍♂️

For the last 3-4 years they've been saying they want to do a full on metal album, really hope this was a sign of that.

I have been to 4 Nickelback concerts and I'm not ashamed. I'm proud. Yes, they're watered down for radio. Idc. NOT N CONCERT! They go HARD and HEAVY! 💯 Twice Seether was touring with them when i saw them and Nickelback was every bit as hard as Seether and i was n heaven!! I was never once disappointed with their performances. Chad was within 6 ft of me twice!! Eye contact and everything! 👀They nailed it, we were all going nuts and it was AWESOME 🙌 I wish they made duplicate CDs, one for radio and one like they sound n concert. 🤘 Alex ur jus infectious with ur high energy and positive vibes!! I appreciate u and ur channel so much, Ty 🙌🤘💯😊🖤

How could you Alex! 😂 To be fair this cover is alot of fun

React to Burn It To The Ground by them. It's really sick!!

Thank you so much for reacting to this one!

I agree. That was flippin' awesome!!!

I didn't know he was married to Avril lavigne lol.

React to Linkin Park - Castle of glass

Love Nickelback. Seen them live a couple years ago. They rock 🤘🏻. Do more nickelback

Fn dope cover and great reaction bro... 🔥🔥🔥

The Steve Ouimette version goes so hard but this one isn't bad

Alex Hefner "Nobody can make fun of Nickleback now" Corey Taylor "Hold my beer"

That was so awesome!!!! :)

Nickelback was like do you want more metal with that? Here you go!

Can you react to a song by ill nino? almost every song from their album revolution/revolucion is great

Notification squad lets gooooo

Love your reactions

I love these guys! And this was brilliant!

I'd like to see Nickelback cover the 2nd song "The Devil went Back to Georgia"

The song at the start just made me want to play Skate 3 again

I’m a huge Nickelback fan.

Yoooo Respect!

I dont k ow why nickelback gets so much they are talented musicians who make fun catchy songs... nothing wrong with their music its good

Side of a bullet! It's a nickelback song dedicated to Dimebag.

My Dad & I used to listen to Nicelback “How You Remind Me”!

Thank you for this video I really love this cover

React to im not ok i promise by my chemical romance

Alex, as a fellow Texan you should try Upon A Burning Body, they are a band from Texas. They have a song called Texas Bloody Money. It's metal about Texas pride.

Seen them live, have every album, learned all the songs, will always have there back.

That was awesome l saw them in concert and it was one of the best shows l have ever seen.

Pls react to when everything means nothing by Fit for a King! It's so f*cking good

This cover is pretty cool!🤘🏻 I don’t know why they get so much hate to be honest

Good old Alberta boys. Thanks, Alex. Great reaction.

I appreciate this reaction

Hey if you like the devil Went Down to Georgia frog leap Studios did a cover of it as well and it's hilarious and good at the same time

That was pretty dope but Charlie Daniels has this song any day of the year

I had no idea Nickelback covered that song. They finally put something out I liked. lol

Dude!! I didn't realize this existed. So freakin cool

Listen to their version of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright (for fighting)" its pretty hard

React to nickelback song feed the machine from their latest album of the same name! It's a banger! 🤘

Nickelback - Little Friend. HEAVY

That was fire!!!!

This is the most Nickelback cover ever lol and thats coming from a fella that loves old Nickelback 😂

Oh shit, I hadn't even heard this one yet! Thanks for reacting to it !!!!!! I always felt so attacked when people hate on Nickelback cause I like their songs, but it's like your said nobody can make fun of them after this xD I liked the original of this song a whole bunch too so this is especially awesome to me. Thanks again for making me aware of this!!

PLEASE REACT TO THE INFEST RECORD FROM PAPA ROACH, IT'S A MASTERPIECE

Hey Alex, you should react to RED again. They are independent since last year and sound heavier than ever on their latest album "Declaration". Check out the song "The Evening Hate". Also listen to STARSET - Trials official video and the epic reimagined version. They did a great job on that. EPIC is also the perfect word to describe the next band i'ld like to suggest: "All Good Things" Their Song "For The Glory" should be played at every major sports event! And last but not least another independent band, since RU-vid's been making a lot of problems: Our Last Night, a post-hardcore band with 1.9 Mil subscribers. They're making better covers than Leo Macchiaioli but i want to suggest their original song "Ivory Tower" which ends on a really nice breakdown. Gonna post this until it gets noticed

HOLY SHIT! is right. "Goddamn Shreddy Kruegar", I love that, that's awesome. Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know it was out there.

That was cool! I love that song anyway, been jamming to Frog Leaps's version too.

The Nickelback hate thing has never been about if they can play or even make good songs, it's always been about how obviously formulaic there albums are. However good their stuff might be it feel more like they set out to make a certain number of songs per album that fit into one type or another then fill those niches in. Basically a couple heavy tunes, a couple ballads, a couple of innuendo laden songs about sex, etc... Repeat for each album.

Yeah Alex, so I was told yesterday that unless I was a patreon my comments, or requests didn't mean shit to you. Of course that still doesn't explain exactly why you told me that you WOULD do my request for "Break In" Although that might also explain why you HAVEN'T done it. So, apparently the 200 people who gave their likes to my request for "Break In" don't mean shit either. So if you don't have the wherewithal to be a patreon just don't bother leaving requests, because your paying customers mean more than any of your other fans. So, was he correct? 0__0. 👍

Wow I didn't know about this cover either. Damn good!!

Wow this is amazing I love nickleback 👍👍🤘🤘

Oh come on, quit the Nickelback hate! #respecttheback

I feel betrayed

I just got a completly new respect for nickelback damn son 😈😈

Dammmmn that was awesome

The hate doesn't come from the music. He alleged beat up his girlfriend and he can't keep his mouth shut. He is always starting stuff with other bands.

Please listen to Three Days Grace new cover of Somebody I Used to Know

That was impressive! Love the video for it. That was really cool animation. Disturbed still has them beat in that category for the land of confusion video but this is really really cool. I'll never understand why people hate this band. It baffles me honestly.

It sounded like Nickle Back and Steve Terreberry improvising

React to halestorm uncomfortable

Shreddy Krueger made me spit my Pepsi. I'll be laughing at that one for years!! xo

i do love you Houston-lad ... Ty again for doing these ^_^

I mean I'm the first one to join in on the Nickleback hate train, lol. Fact is they have some good tunes and Chad Kroeger is a good singer. But even a broken clock is right twice a day /shrug

Nah, as pretentious as ever. This ain't it. Ironically it sounds like they trying to bite Corey Taylor's sound.

This is Insane 👍👍 Well Done Nickleback 🤟

Nickelback is an absolutely amazing band. They have more skill than a lot of other bands. Check out This Means War

To me, this has to be the worst cover ever & I literally hate nickelback! Who did it better in my opinion, its Primus
