Why Does Everyone Hate NICKELBACK? 

Elvis Presley's manager sold ''I hate Elvis'' merchandise to make money off the haters.

"do you wanna hear some rock!?!" *gets hit with rock* damn that was cold

Not a fan of nickelback but the rock throwing was uncalled for. Made me sad to see.

I’m not a Nickelback fan at all, but I have to say as a guitar player myself that their guitar sound is really great on almost every song I’ve heard from them.

When you realize that hating on Nickelback kept them relevant for the past 20 years.

'You want to hear some rock', gets hit in the ear with a rock.

They were never my favourite band, but I never hated them, and I never understood why people hated them so much, they are definitely a lot better than a lot of artists today.

I can’t find myself hating on Nickelback. I grew up with their music which helped me get through dark times. Seeing them live was also a treat.

"I'm starting to think it's just a dude in a wig" That's when I lost it-

Nickleback is better as a Metallica cover band, now that's... sad but true

Still shocks me that nickleback has the formula to play what ever they feel like (country, pop, rock, hard-rock, dance) and still stay relevant and selling albums mainstream since the state album in 2000. They may not be the leader of man but they certainly influenced a whole generation.

I’m so happy you played the Sad But True clip! I was shocked the first time I heard it, I’d love to hear them cover more of their songs.

I gotta admit that nickelback cover of Metallica was pretty damn good

When they turn around 80 years old they could be called "Crippled back"

This was really good. I've heard it said that Nickelback is "too much of everything and not enough of one thing". I think that is pretty accurate. They'll make something sappy like "Photograph" and then turn around and make something heavy like "This Means War". Weird, but we're all still paying attention to them one way or another.

Nickelback will always remind me of my boss from around 2005. He was very much a mid-50s suit and tie type guy who was always blasting out Nickelback from his Lexus as he thought it made him “cool”, so I think of them as a sort of mid-life crisis band. It was a handy boss-alert alarm though, as in “s**t the boss is here!”

I died when you turned Cannibal Corpse into pop music

That Adam Sandler impression was actually spot on

Excellent conclusion. I snuck into a show about a month before they absolutely blew up with “How You Remind Me”, with a crowd of maybe 800 people in a St Pete FL park. They put on an absolutely incredible show tbh

The problem with nickelback is the songs that get radio play aren’t their best songs.. if you check the rest of the albums they have a ton of great songs. And live they are fantastic, they play banger after banger and put on an amazing live show.

The best part about this video was black metal One Direction

I heard "How you remind me" in elementary school when it had the music video out. I heard it like twice and holy shit, I somehow remembered all the words. I still don't listen to it, but often sing it to myself. It's not like you! To say sorry!!!!

I saw Nickelback live when they were touring for the third album, It was a great show and it rocked. I wish they could have seperated the pop stuff later on because there are so many songs from the early days that ppl refuse to listen to because of the stigma that has developed over the last 15 years

Chad Kroeger is just Nicolas Cage's alter ego

"I don't know how to explain it without being demonetized--" *ad plays immediately*

3:50 it has been almost 4 years and I still want the full song

I saw Cannibal Corpse in STL right after the bleeding came out. It was one of the most impressive things I have ever witnessed musically. And I at that time was a music major and had gone to more concerts than I could count. The bass and two guitars were playing in perfect unison. I don't think any of them missed a single note. And it's not like they ever, ever look at the guitar. Just a million miles an hour head banging the whole time. I met Chris Barnes afterwards as well. F'n Club 367 man. I think they tore that place down. It was in a shady neighborhood.

"How to say this without getting de-monetized... They uh-" *Cut to ad*

I'm not a fan but the amount of shit they take is ridiculous, its like they committed war crimes. CHAD BUT TRUE!!!!!!!!

Everything people say about Nickleback, I can easily say about AC/DC, Guns n Roses, or Led Zeppelin. With all 3 of those bands, it's the same riffs and chord progressions in every song. Does that make them objectively bad? No. The elitists tend of associate complexity with quality.

I saw Nickelback before they were big and a fairly small venue and it was one of the best shows I’ve been to in my life. The hit single of the day was “Old Enough” and I thought they were pretty good. Chad Kroeger seems to have figured out the formula for writing a Radiohead, like the guys in Train and i’m not gonna judge anyone for cashing in if they can. The main riff to their song “Burn it to the Ground” is as heavy and rocks as hard as anything from the band Volbeat but they don’t get any respect. Here’s how you know that Nickelback actually deserves a little bit of credibility, and that’s the fact that the lake Dimebag Darrell was good friends with those guys and was a fan of the music. After he passed they wrote a song in tribute called “Side of a Bullet” that was pretty badass, and it featured previously unreleased audio of Dimebag’s playing, of which there mush have been hundreds if not thousands of hours of, because the guy kept guitars and 4-track tape recorders all over his house so he could just catalog all the sweet riffs and solos he would come up with off the cuff, and he would go back through them looking for ideas whenever he needed song ideas. So, they basically wolf a bunch of that stuff together into a guitar solo, and I think some of it certainly inspired the main riff that they recorded. As far as I know, they were the only band that the late Vinne Paul allowed access to his brother’s audio archives and they split the songwriting credits and publishing with Dimebag, so that his estate would benefit from the release. Vinnie Paul was even asked to play on the track but he declined because he didn’t think he could do any better than Nickelback’s drummer. So, there was clearly some mutual respect for their musicianship, and it’s a shame they get such a bad rap because it’s entirely undeserved. I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that they became so massively successful in such a short span of time and you couldn’t escape their music anywhere, and people like to hate on people that are doing too good for some reason and like to take them down a peg if they start acting like they deserved it. Regarding the Nickelback feud with Stone Sour, I like both bands and think Corey Taylor is a hell of a singer, but Chad Kroeger is undeniably a brilliant songwriter that knows how to write hits-and if you just look at their album sales, Stone Sour’s best selling album and best selling single are on par with one of Nickelback’s mediocre releases. The way they acted at the show in Portugal or wherever is perfectly acceptable, based on the reaction of the crowd. If the crowd was just going nuts for the opening act and then they come out and get that little of a response from the crowd that actually paid to see them, then there’s no reason they should go out there and work their asses off for a bunch of people who don’t give a shit they are even on-stage. Unless they came back out and played at least three songs, then they more than likely walked away from the money they would’ve earned for that show. Don’t ask me why it’s three songs, or however many minutes, but that’s an industry standard contract when a band doesn’t perform, because then they don’t have to refund any tickets, if they play less than that amount they have to at least give back a partial refund to ticket holders who want a refund. So, don’t feel too bad for that crowd, they could’ve said “woo!” and had a fun night, but they tried to be too cool for the room and pretended they didn’t like the band they paid to see, and it serves them right.

Corey and Chad: **argue about chicken** Buckethead: **uncomfortable**

Now we just need that countrycore video you promised us years ago.

That video is featured in the trailer for an upcoming Nickleback documentary movie.

We want more videos like this one Steve.

The truth behind this video is obviously that Steve is jealous of Jared Dine being able to play with his idol band Breaking Benjamin. So secretly in love with Nickelback, Steve decided to take action.

That black metal version of One Direction's song was trvely awesome!

They put this vid in the documentary 😭🙏

I agree with you completely Steve, and BTW that was a very good impression of Little Nicky!

How can I say this without getting demonetized. Gets ad right after

We need a full version of what makes you beautiful black metal version.

Hilarious vids and great editing 👍

I actually like a few songs from Nickleback, probably because I listen to a wide variety of genre's. And their song "Lullaby" has some nice lyrics.

3:49 Somebody please give me the full "You Don't Know You're Beautiful" black metal cover.

I know people who don't hate them. But after they play Nickelback songs in the party other people will hate them.

I didn't like them growing up but I’ve grown to appreciate them for what they are (in my ears/eyes): the modern Foreigner. They write harmless, middle-of-the-road rock hits that your uncle thinks are awesome. I’m never going to listen to one of their albums. If they’re on the radio, I’m not stoked to hear it, but I’m not angry about it either. But, they do have their share of haters, for sure.

I saw the nickle back concert on access tv, and it was great! Chad,had a way better voice live, than I expected. Good show!

"How You Remind Me" will always have a place in my playlist. That's the one Ticklesack song that's staying on.

When you buy tickets to a nickelback concert and get angry when nickleback goes on stage

I didn't even know hating on Nickelback was a thing back then... I only knew it a few years ago... My whole family loves their songs... we don't really focus on their drama... it's all about the music only... I don't think I can hate them... Still listening to their songs until now...

Those sweeps in your solo 🔥🔥 reminds me of why i fell in love with metal as a lad. *chef’s kiss*

Nipplecrack Picklebap Poopiecrap Ticklesack Winklepack Tinklesmack Rickle Astley.. Back.

I think that's the best way to explain the birds and the bees. Haha Funny stuff steve! Keep it up!

The cover photo of you as chad kroeger cracks me up!

I love it when Steve edits himself in the live performances. 🤣🤣

Nickelback is heavier than bring me the horizon Bet 5 years ago you never thought that would become true

1 video watched and now i am addicted to it. Congrats.

Freakin' hilarious! I actually had this thought today, googled and found your video. Brilliant.

I feel like if Zuckerberg doesnt like Nickelback.. Then I should probably like them. Dude creeps me out real bad.

8:10 I don't know why this got me but I couldn't stop laughing 🤣

Nickelback is the bomb … back in 2000 when my dad was still with us he wanted to watch the new Spider-Man movie so bad but he passed away before it came out , so I watched it in memory of him Rip dad

Nickelback’s cover of “Sad But True” is actually really great

In Soviet Russia, Nickelback hates everybody.

Mate, how did you come up with that picture for your thumbnail?😝 It’s a football club from my hometown haha, nice 👌🏻

U know what the sad part is stevie Chad is an amazing song writer and they will definitely be in the hall of fame and every record they have put out has gone double or triple platinum!! Who's buying the discs??????? Or the downloads???? I rest my case!

For every nickelback hater out there, there exists a dude who claims that their girlfriend accidentally uploaded How you remind me into my playlist

I was in that Nickleback concert in Portugal, but i wasnt the Rock guy.

Hey Steve! Part of this video has been included in the "Hate to love" trailer by Nickelback, did you check that out?

3:42 that's great you got Professor Trelawney to cameo in your video

That “Concert” was a metal festival that there manager at the time booked them at. And Nickelback is clearly not metal, so it was there managers fault for that and I believe they fired him after that

I find it rather ironic that Adam Sandler jokes about Nickelback sucking when he is the Nickelback of actors.

3:27 I want to stop replaying it but I can’t.

Nice shot with the combination of your solo.

Chad Kroger: show me a hit song Corey Taylor Slipknot: Am I a joke to you?

My dad went to high school with Chad... he said he was SUPER annoying as

That's gotta be the funniest thumbnail ever. 🤣🤣🤣

These guys have some amazing tunes that will get stuck in your head. Not bad musicians either! Albums are hit or miss to be honest.

Like... In Portugal they were opening the concert to Dimmu Borgir. Of course that it was going to end like that.

Black metal One direction is something i want to see.

The thing is they would come out with like 2 albums a year and there would be like FOUR singles on each album! I hated it in high school and middle school.

Born in 2004 and me and my dad are metalheads and we love Nickelback and to this day I still listen to Nickelback.

I swear you could role play as the riddler from batman, no joke

Chad: do we got any nickleback fans Audience: Chad: any Metallica fans Audience: goes crazy

2:00 don't forget my favorite, the cover band "recycled can".

Never heard of this Steve Tittyberry but I subscribe cuz this dudes fn hilarious

"listen here ticklesack" made me die laughing

I remember when "worstbandintheworld [dot] com" used to redirect you to the Nickleback website... people are funny. lol

Their tribute song to Dime Bag Darrell "Side of a bullet" shreds pretty hard and has my respect.

Need a full version of “pictograph”

How does nickel back keep their people from leaving, easy. "METALLICA"

Portuguese metal crowd don't like posers, but I blame the ones that green-lit that lineup, they were oblivious or just dumb... Nevertheless throwing rocks to a person for not liking a band borderlines attempted murder.

why did I decide to sip my tea at 6:45 lol

The fact this made it into their Netflix documentary! 🥳

Nickelback originally got their name from people wanting their nickel back after buying one of their albums

That Adam Sandler impression was perfect I wasn't bad Steve

The Nickelback impression at the beginning is good. I get it that it is a parody but Stevie pulls off the perfect impression. Including the voice. 😊👍🏻

6:32 THIS PART HAD ME ROLLING-
