Nickelback knows you might hate them.
from a hotel suite while grinding out interviews trying to sell the doc, which does not have distribution yet. Really? A band with 12 consecutive sold-out tours didn’t expect a big crowd? “I’m not trying to be, ‘Eh, we don’t know if we’re popular.’ I just never take that for granted so I was like, ‘Gosh, I hope people come.'”
Love for Nickelback seems almost impossible to imagine if you were around in the early 2000s. It was the advent of cellphones and social media and “Survivor,” and Nickelback was getting more airplay than any band on the planet, including The Beatles. Consider them pioneers in internet backlash, raking in money as the insults just piled on from the many people who didn’t like their songs but couldn’t escape them.
“Having your band become a meme is kind of cool,” Mike said. “How many times have our memes gone viral? You can’t even buy that.” But it’s the personal attacks they’re not okay with. “ didn’t just dehumanize Nickelback; they dehumanized my brother,” Mike said. “And they’re not really even people, just anonymous Twitter haters, so it’s like a monolith attacking a monolith, except, you know, it turns out my brother has feelings.

Corey Taylor, frontman of the label’s other biggest band, Slipknot, called Chad “Shaggy from ‘Scooby-Doo.'” “When you do a thing and every time you get smacked, you start going, ‘Hmm . . . maybe I shouldn’t do that,'” said Mike.Article content
