Nickelback are a hugely successful Canadian, post-grunge rock band.
I have a bit of a penchant for ‘man of the people’ commercial rock music and they are the finest example of recent years! I also like a smattering of Pearl Jam and I’ve got a Green Day CD which I am only allowed to play in the car with the windows shut.
It’s not high art - but, think about this – Nickelback were a covers band that went on to achieve their dream. Most of the lyrics don’t make any sense and Chad Kroeger always appears as though he is still in a bar playing ZZ Top covers. But, to me, that just adds to the appeal.
Look at the video for ‘Rockstar’ – it says it all! Love it. OK, I like it a bit!
