Here I am in 2024.....and I have never heard of this group in my life and I'm 52 yrs old..... I'm a Pastor of the MMCBC......and I'm working on a sermon title named.....NEVER AGAIN ‼️ I didn't know that never again was a phrase that stood for many things.....for the Jewish community......their mindset is Never Again......I will be preaching from Nahum 1:9 And this song is absolutely incredible ‼️
When I was married to an abuser and had a young son, this song was an anthem for me at the gym when trying to get physically and mentally strong to get the hell out. I ran with my son and never looked back.
Same here!! OMG…only difference is that when we would be driving and listening to this song, I would sing it at the top off my lungs right at him….he would have his tail between his legs for a minute and then be right back at it!! I think this is a lot of DV survivors anthem❤️
People talk shit about Nickelback and I’ve never understood it. Every song they put out is a story most of us can relate to. This one in particular…..hits home for so many people. Nickelback is a truly great band! First class all the way and not deserving of the hate thrown their way.
People love to hate popular things. I think they probably unfairly got labeled as pop-rock/metal music money makers. They have some catchy songs and riffs and from what I've heard over the years are genuinely good dudes. No scandals or ridiculous diva moments. Besides, how can Nickelback be the worst band ever when Radiohead exists? 😉
Nickelback was so hugely popular back in the day that you couldn't turn the radio on without hearing them. Some comedian, I think on one of the late night talk shows, although I'm not positive of that, made a joke about hating Nickelback because they were always on the radio. The joke was repeated to the point that it took on a life of its own and it became "cool" to trash Nickelback.
There have been songs against war, songs against drugs, songs against racism and songs against divorce but this song by Nickelback is the best song ever written "AGAINST WIFE BEATERS". I'm a 70 year old male and have heard them all and Nickelback is the best band in the world. Every song they sing is a hit and there has never before been a band who did that.
@HumanHandGrenade I listened to 30 of this bands songs and all I can say is that it is schizophrenic rock, not at all to my liking. Thanks for the recommendation though.
Saw them on their first tour. They opened with six straight songs and no pause. Then they spent two minutes thanking the fans for making their career and creating a dream come true life for them. Then back to rocking the house. How many other bands rock to a song calling out scum who beat women? Nickelback is first class.
I agree. This song is fantastic. Good message, good sound, not a single thing wrong with it. However, look up Chad Kroeger's antics and see if you still think they are first class. Great band, horrible guy.
The band is great, don't get me wrong, but there's a reason that Corey Taylor is just one of many big name artists to speak out against Kroeger. He's a piece of shit person.
@@moderategiantx3374 chad is a great person. He made his mistakes as everybody does, but I already seen thounsands of interviews, talks with him and he really is a good down-to-earth guy.
It's been out for 20 years, I've listened to it hundreds of times, and yet, I choke up and cry every single time. Some wounds never heal. Everyone should hear this song at least once in their lifetime.
@@jamesdoakes4956 thank you. I was going by when this video was uploaded. I didn't know the true date, which makes more sense because I was a late teen when I listened to it. Ugh. I am the WORST at chronological timelines and trying to remember dates. I hope you have a fantastic day, my friend!
8 yrs of being pushed n shoved into furniture hiding in any place i could find. Later 2 yrs of wrapping cords around my neck to end another abusive man. NEVER AGAIN!!!
I listened to this song as a kid and love it because the beat is great. Listening to it now as an adult hits different because i went through an emotional and mental abuse from my now ex boyfriend. Thank you, Nickelback for this fearless song
This is def the best Nickelback song!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lived this and NEVER AGAIN took me 6 long years to say and even after I did finally say it, he made me pay for 13+ years after that! A true anthem to those that have suffered from domestic violence and for the victims that still survive, and relive if everyday and night! It never goes away......................... Thank you Nickelback for giving us all a voice and making some of us feel like we have been heard!
@@carmineruocco3768 he picked me and showed only the nice side of himself until he trapped me! Easy for you to say and pass judgement on me when you don't know anything about the situation! Clearly you have never known someone that has suffered from this kind of violence. It's people like you that keep people in these kinds of terroristic relationships. I hope you never need compassion from another. Ignorance
Nickelback pretty sung and brought up shit that was wrong with people and problems with the world and people start dancing without hearing the lyrics if people listened to the lyrics they would know why people are talking about it but yh Nickelback is one the best bands underrated and not recognised as a great band
Sadly this goes on too much in the world today, mostly towards women, then the woman feels that it's her fault, violence can never be excused, and violence towards a partner, to me, that shows a lack of respect and that's no way to have a relationship, relationships are based on trust as well as all the rest of the lovely bits, some hard times, it's not always rosey, but violence towards a partner, especially when there's children around, it screws the children up as well as the one being abused, and it hurts me to see this going on. To anyone who's been affected by this horrible behaviour, if you're in that relationship, I hope you find the courage to get out of it, for the others who have suffered in one way or another, I hope you can put it behind you and live a rich and successful life
OK, I'm 66 here in '21, and I can assure you that I've sought out the baddest rock n' roll literally since I was a little kid of 6. True story. I've gotta say.....this Nickelback song is one of THE BALLSIEST tunes I've ever encountered. I've seen a thousand and one arena rock concerts over the years, and I can also tell you that they are working THEIR ASSES OFF when playing. It isn't contrived. They're not from my generation by any means, but what they're doing here is laying down some serious stuff.
Sir, I read with profound sorrow your hopelessly pathetic worship of what is, without question, the douchiest band in the history of music. In fact, when the word douchebag appears in many dictionaries, Chad Kroger’s picture appears. In a world filled with douchebags, he will forever reign supreme, with you sycophantically having your brown nose planted on his talentless posterior. If hell exists, the entire discography of nickelback features prominently on the infinite loop of the most torturous, agonizingly awful “songs” that will be played by the viciously sadistic demon overlords tasked with administering the most excruciating torments to the damned. If I should be presented with the soul destroying prospect of having to listen to nickelback for more that 20 seconds, I would unhesitatingly take the nearest metal rod available and voluntarily rupture my eardrums savagely and irreparably, happily preferring to spend the rest of my days deafer than Helen Keller than to be subjected to their preening, smug, oily, and smarmy self-congratulating “muzik” (I will not call their overwhelmingly skill-absent assault on all of the senses music). I will pray for you tonight sir. I will pray for you as I ponder what sad event must have transpired in your life that robbed you of all taste and left you unable to recognize the equivalent of aural excrement.
@@Kugrox Kugrox, I gotta tell ya, I am so impressed with your powerful, pithy response! You even invented a word ("memey")! 🤣😂😆😅🤣😂 Seriously, I want to thank you for making my day! Here I was feeling a little blue, when I got the notification advising me of your message. Your use of the word "culture" in the same sentence as Nickelback caught me so much by surprise that I experienced the old milk squirting out of my nostrils as I hysterically laughed to the point of hypoxia (you will want to click over to an online dictionary to look that one up, Mr. "Man of Culture!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You rightly extol these musical titans and their compelling oeuvre. Bach? Beethoven? Strauss? Talentless pikers, the lot! Your compelling argument has caused me to see the light! Where I once was blind, now I see: Nickelback reigns supreme!
I don’t care what anyone else says! This band kicks ass in concert! They sing the forbidden songs about the things no one wants out front in the center stage! It’s very hard to be the center for the things most never have the courage to talk about much less bring out into the full high noon sunshine!
this tune came along in the throughs of a very violent divorce...........this became our (myself and my children's) signature motivation..........I am eternally grateful to Nickelback for this song.
I am a survivor of domestic violence. 27 years of it. Now 18 years later been with a wonderful man for 8 years. With no fisical or mental violence. Life is good.
This was the first nickelback song I heard. I still remember it. My uncle who's totally about rock gave me this CD in 2001 when I was 11. Although I can no longer play the CD, I still have it. This song as well as the album is really really good!
Cool story. 👍🙂 I'll always remember, being in school in my late teens and myself and my friends would play this record to death. 👍 One was Canadian, go figure.
People only hated Nickleback because it was cool. Theyre not amazing. Nor are they that bad. They have talent. They write their own songs. Chad's voice isnt awful. I just feel like a lot of people hate things to fit in. Same thing happened to Creed.
@@burpostockingsi agreed with you in the beginning, but then you off script. Try doing this for three hours straight, you couldn’t hang For an hour ,yes that’s fact I do it for a living you have to be in top shape to pull this off
@@burpostockingsthe difference with Creed is that most of what Creed write isn't great. Nickleback has multiple albums of very solid songs, Creed has a few hits.
There a lot of people that don't understand Rock and Roll! It's not satanic. It's a universal place to be. Imagine the real native tribes hitting pioute buds. That's living. Imagine dancing around a 🔥 fire with our Mother Nature 🚪🚪🚪. What door are you going to open?👽💥✌️
Been Make fun of plenty by my peers for liking Nickleback, This song and its lyrics struck so close to home for me, That is why no matter what anyone says, I will continue to like this band
Thank you from the bottom of my heart that you all stood up for all our silent shame of being abused. Your song keeps me motivated to stay away from the crippling cycle that women get into. I never thought I would ever be in a abusive relationship. Ever!!! When you have no one on your side the most common response is oh what's wrong with her? My all time favorite the man well my ex siad I was crazy . And women would actually take his side. So in a nutshell thanks guys for sticking up for us. Love ya
Good for Nickelback!! Finally, someone has the courage to bring up this usually hidden subject. The group is like a catharsis for me. I feel like I am able to get out some of my anger that I have been pent up feelings inside for at least 45 years now
This song captured my early life...it's as if they were there ~ the horror, the pain, anxiety, fear, humiliation....etc ~ I for one am so proud that these boys had the balls to call it out for what it is ~ Thanks guys
This was my life for over 3 years. December 31, 2016 is when it ended. I finally had the nerve to tell him that I wasn't going to take it anymore and he needed to go.
Shiralee Obx Good for you, girl! Was my life too, with my first husband. I finally got up the nerve to leave him when I found out I was pregnant with my son. There was NO WAY I was letting him do to my child what he’d been doing to me! And all I can say is he is lucky that I was only 18 & not yet armed at the time, because I probably would have killed him. My nose is still crooked from where he broke it & I can’t count how many times he put my head through the wall, slapped me, knocked me around, forced me to have sex with him whether I wanted to or not or if I was sick or whatever, because it was “my duty to” as his wife, etc... Stupidest mistake I ever made was marrying that SOB at 17....thought I knew everything, didn’t know shit! Learned REAL fast! And never again will anyone-man OR woman-lay hands on me, or anyone that I love!
I've been lucky to have never had a physically abusive relationship. (Emotionally yes and that's so hard too). But this song literally gives me chills. The intensity practically puts you in the front row of a woman who is being beaten to point where she has to kill. I'll never understand the hate for these guys. I've seen them a few times abs they're one of the best bands to see live. These guys work hard and put out music that speaks. I refuse to be on that bandwagon. I love them!
Never Again. Love myself too much. This song sums it up for us that survived physical and mental abuse. "You are just a child with a temper, drunk AGAIN... different night.
The lighting show for this concert is Perfect for this song!! And very creatively done 👍! Hats Off to the people who are working the lighting for this concert!! All of the most beautiful colors and then the most appropriate times for the use of red and the fire 🔥! Somehow, the audience is so in tune with the timing of the fire 🔥 blasts that the audience are lighting their lighters right on time just ▶️before the fire 🔥 blasts on stage!
100%agree after escaping from a very violent and controlling 5 year relationship that ended up me finally taking him to Crown Court this song means alot to me we don't censor the news with war stories dead bodies so why this song!!!!!
You Tube can run offensive rap content, anti American content, anti police content, and yet they bleep several word in a really great Nickelback song that speak to not allowing violence against women? What kind of antifa communists are running you tube? I'm done with this type of censorship, it stands against all that our great constitution was based upon i.e. freedom of speech, freedom of expression...none of that is present when you bleep this song.
***** That's a crock. Every single time I've heard someone say they hate Nickelback it's men, not women. And most of the time, it's some aversion to Chad Kroeger and not the band as a whole. It has nothing to do with women, or feminism at all.
Oh Laurie your post hit home & touched me! I didn't do 33 yrs like you Hun but I did serve "my time" in the same hellish prison for 13 yrs. I'm so sorry that you had to experience DV prob SA, (u so didn't deserve that Laurie 😭) and the vile thing's it includes & encompasses; it's straight out of the devil's playbook! I'm only speculating 🤔 but my guess is that (just like I & many other's) something very disgusting happened to you when you where a little girl; that violated & raped the very soul w/in you. & that violation, left you with a permanent stain that you've been trying to cleanse ever since. And that caused you to walk blindly, yet innocently, down the ugly crooked path that calls out to us vulnerable abuse victim's. Again, satan's playbook against God's children! Obviously I'm a Believer & love my relationship with Jesus. He rescued me from myself & all the lies I repeatedly believed bc I was told them by abuser's so long (more than likely like yourself) I believed that "they" must be right. So I was ashamed, hated myself, felt so unworthy I would apologize for thing's I wasn't even guilty of, & what (I 🤔) my family thought about me bc of my weakness weighed heavy on me bc I used to be so strong. (reminds me of another song I use to listen to & think w/self loathing, yep that's me; "Better Man", by Pearl Jam) Let me say to you sister that I'm so proud of your integrity, courage & strength, & am so grateful that you, & I made it out alive. My auntie was not so fortunate; like so many other's! 😞🙏 Well sweet lady the world is your's now for the taking! You have a powerful ministry (life learned story 2 share w/other's 2 help them) that you graduated from/qualified for in the most awful way! Let us take our pain, make it our power, & use it to help other's that are/have/may be on their way down that ugly crooked path/road we walked. I pray your only revenge is living well w/joy & abundance; and if you haven't found Him, please seek Jesus & the power of the Holy Spirit who will give you wisdom & discernment throughout life. And that permanent stain you & I've been soiled with; Jesus is the only detergent that can cleanse that from you; washing your soul white as snow! He washes away all of that sickening weight of anxiety, depression, feeling helpless, ugly, put down, beat on, shamed, from DV & poss SA, feeling's of I'm not worthy of love or appreciation. That constant filmstrip of self dialect you internalize & tell yourself over & over. Jesus comes in flips the tables and says ENOUGH 😡! "Laurie is MY CHILD, I love her perfectly just like I made her!" I have a purpose & plan for her only SHE can accomplish! Again my friend, I'm sorry you went thru that hell & I'm so glad that you've gotten out girl! 🙏 We know the red flags now, and probably had enough to dock a large ship in our past with these abuser's of ours. May we NEVER EVER LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN! ⚠️ NEVER AGAIN ⚠️ My love & prayer's to you & your new life; may it bring you love, blessings, and unlimited wonderful experiences and memories my friend! And may we both reach out to other's that have, are about to, or are going thru what we've endured. I know bc of fear, $, or a # of other reasons it almost seems impossible at times to convince those being abused to leave, but there's always a way! The only thing worse than domestic abuse, is to allow it to go on one more day! However, remember they are listening to you, even if it seems they're ignoring your advice; remember being "them" at one time? And maybe you're the voice that gives them the power to say to he/she's self... THAT'S ENOUGH, TIME TO CLEANSE THE STAIN AND HEAL THIS PAIN! Please excuse the length of my post, but your story inspired, touched me and I related & know the pain! As I said ENOUGH! in 2013. I bever looked back & ain't going back! Sometimes (like other's) my life is so hard, (I have awful chronic pain daily, bedridden for 19 yrs now) but oh how wonderful it is to be free (John 8:32) of the abuse; and sweet are the words & what BLESSING'S come after we say ENOUGH, NEVER AGAIN! Have a blessed day & beautiful life sis! 🙏🤗🥰🕊️✝️ Praise God for you Laurie, a VICTIM that has become a SURVIVOR, AND A VICTOR! 🏆 AMEN! 🙏🙌
the word "trigger" is censored in this video but Migos Bad and boujee has 300 million views and it says trigger and uzi, bitch , fucking etc. i don't understand.
I've listened to this hundreds of times, reminds me how I am a survivor. I will NEVER be a victim again! I've looked up so many times, asking "what have I done?!?"
This song brings out so much emotion in me. The music with out the lyrics is just so powerful and is something that would psych one up. Then when I listen to the words it literally makes me want to cry because this was my parents. It makes me remember the last night my father lived with us as a 10 year old. I literally jumped on him to pull him off my mother. He was a giant of a man too at almost 6'7" and nearly 300lbs vs. a 5th grader. I was fortunate because just as he got me off his back and was about to punch me in the face the police showed up. Unfortunately i looked like his mini me with his name and my mother took out her frustrations about him out on me and I ended up at 13 being thrown out by her and lived with him. Now I got his abuse when he was drunk but fortunately I took after him physically and at 13 was already 6' tall and almost 200lbs. I could fight back and I got the better of him every time he tried until I moved out at 18.
Me too!!! I finally saw what hell was ,through the eyes and music of another child. I said no freaking more no more broken noses ribs arms no more living in fear... your words me courage I said never again... we walked and we survived. We were worth saving.. we walked out of hell that day... ..thankyou for the words never again. Us to!!!!
This song helps me with my past. I had a dad that was mostly verbally abusive but it's still hard but it seems to help to know others had been in worse it same situations. Also just an awesome song!
rock on Nickelback This song says so much about the character of the men in his band they are from Canada Nickelback why the hell anybody say that they hate to go back when they actually love them maybe it's because they go back tells it like the hell it is so men deal with it people Deal With It Rock on Nickelback
I swear I love this band and really can't help but to hate seeing all the hate comments. WHY do people who say they don't like this band feel the need to go to all their videos to post hateful comments? How about we all start going into those peoples profiles to see what they watch and do the same thing. I bet it would irritate them too.....who is with me?????
Every single video of this band has a powerful message. Chad uses his voice for the greater good. I love these guys. The haters out there are ignorant to what matters. Therefore they don't matter.
Apparently, the original music video was banned from TV for being "too violent." It's a song about domestic violence...god forbid there be unpleasant images.
This song always made me want to stand up for women even my ex wife who just seen me go through alcoholism. Never had I hit her but she saw what I went through and I would be despiteful for a man hurting his woman in a physical way. Just would never again put someone through that or want to hear that a person in general went through it.
I don't know people have to hate this band because of this song I left a 12 yr abusive marriage. It helped me in so many ways and is my fight song because no one is going to abuse me ever again and I exclaim never again .
I’m glad it’s helped you but It’s a rehash of several other songs addressing the same topic. And lead singer is known to be a phony: He’s an arrogant jerk in real life. Sorry to break it to you.
