loved this interview! im so glad the hate is dying down, i genuinely like some of their older tracks. they just seem like good dudes i loved all the classic canadian rock talk
every story i've heard from my friends in the music business who have worked with or run into nickelback over the years confirms what this interview confirms, Nickelback are very nice, smart, funny, and down to earth people.
The fact that nardwuar remembers everything from each conversation perfectly like 5 years later is just wild to me, I wish I could have that kind of memory for motivational quotes
Saw these guys about 10 years ago in concert, went to see daughtry, very glad these guys were headlining. Super entertaining show. Chad can play the guitar!
So many wholesome stories out of these guys! That call to Mike was also a great addition (the 'breaking eggs' bit made me laugh so much), awesome interview!
Shoutout to poison City Records, on Ryans Shirt. Based in Melbourne Australia and have put out some great albums. One of the driving forces keeping Alt/Punk music alive in Melbourne.
All of Nardwuar's interviews are researched to this depth, dude is a true Journalist. If you haven't watched any of his other interviews I'd highly recommend it, there's an amazing back catalogue.
Nickelback isn’t a bad band imo, I watched a video recently where a guy did a study on why they were so hated & it basically stems from the radio playing their songs back to back (these guys made some great songs but were overplayed) which annoyed everyone & someone on the internet started a trend that “hating nickelback is cool” & whoever trashed them is part of the “meme”. People love being a part of the mob & are afraid of being left out.
They were overplayed but from what I remember, it was songs like SEX and Animals that were just a little too on the nose and cemented them as a kind of pop rock band, who, with songs like Rockstar, were trying too hard to be actual rock stars. They probably wouldn’t have had deeper album cuts get popular as singles if it wasn’t for their success more generally, but that’s what I remember being the thing that pushed them from band that makes decent ballads/jams to the meme choosing them as the poster child of the dated-sounded 00s rock era.
I’ve seen these guys live 10 times and they kill it every time 🔥 I grew up just like them in a rural Canadian town playing in cover bands, even a few of their songs. So this was great to see, awesome interview
Nardwuar is so F-ing sick! He literally makes anyone he’s interviewing open up cause he brings them down memory lane. They seemed to just be happy talking about stuff they never talk about……lol….apparently not even to each other. Amazing. Thank you.
Not my go-to band but they're great at what they do, and much respect to anyone who gives Nardwuar the respect he deserves. This was very Canadian - can we get a long-form roundtable interview with say, Chad, Alanis, Celine and Alex Lifeson? I wish you had gotten to interview Gordon Lightfoot.
Man, I kind of want more bands from this Era like Seether, Saliva...90's, early 2000's grunge and alternative for Nardwuar to interview. Also surprised no current country artists are available for him to interview....I love deep diving into all these artists with him.
Never got the Nickelback hate - always liked their songs here and there since the 2000s. And that phonecall was hilarious. This whole interview felt like two guys just going down memory lane.
Wow. I did not think I would come away from a nickel back interview having a genuine respect and affection towards Nickelback of all bands. I genuinely cannot find the words to praise the art you do, and what you provide me personally.
I would recommend watching the whole interview. Chad even calls his brother and puts him on speaker, and it's just an awesome wholesome interview in total
Amazing interview as always, loved that they had the opportunity to be interviewed by the legend himself! :D (Nardwaur, Please Sign My Evaporators Record!!)
@@burgermind802 Is it the lyrics? I am peruvian and of course as a spanish speaker i didn't really understood any song but tbh i liked and still like their sound and i think many ppl from this part of the world (Latinoamerica) love Nickelback... I'm guessing the reason yall hate their music is because of the cheesy lyrics maybe?
I love that they all have some connection to nardwuar just by being canadian lol the rubber room in vancouver connection between chads brother and nardwuar is hilarious
I don't mind " how you remind me" but I hate everything else they did. Especially the try-hard ultra edgy period they went through. Chad can be quite the annoying fkn diva , But GOD-DAMN IT THIS WAS A WHOLESOME INTERVIEW.
Instant boost in respect for the people that treat Nardwuar right.
Canadians
Same. And if they treat em bad, we don’t forget. I’m looking at you Travis barker!
Well you must hate blur then
@@Whatabozo9 just the drummer or whatever. the rest of the band was super nice to him.
Amen
Chad still owes me $1300 for losing an epic 9-ball session after a show at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver in 2000
Nardwuar please pin this
😅
Pay up, Chád.
Common Chad, pay the man
Chaaaaaaaaad......
Say what you want about the band, but they seem like such cool down to earth dudes. And I'm glad they're huge fans of Nardwuar
Their a great band as well & rock live 🤟
I like photograph
Totally. This made me hate their sound a lot less.
I'm a huge metalhead, listen to a lot of Opeth, Gojira, Judas Priest, Metallica and I don't even hate nickelback. They've got lots of good songs
@zachstolpa6521 Yeah fuck it. I like photograph too.
Only Naurdwuar can make me finish a 1 hour Nickleback interview without actually knowing it was 1 hour.
100%
How is that exactly. Chad and Ryan did ALL of the talking.
Their Canadian rock talk goes deep! Respect 🤘
because it wasn't one hour aha lol
@@codyandrus4911that’s kind of how an interview is supposed to go…
Nickleback giving nardwaur his flowers is what i needed in life.
Nice cliché, dude.
@@KentBuchlatouch grass
😂❤
J Cole as well
it's Nickelback
loved this interview! im so glad the hate is dying down, i genuinely like some of their older tracks. they just seem like good dudes i loved all the classic canadian rock talk
@@4tado never made it as a wise man
I think the hate for Nickelback is dying out because everyone hates Imagine Dragons now.
lol you said "i" like 3 times you narcissist, this isn't about you and your sensibilities
I think I speak for everyone when I say they have and always will suck
Sell outs…
the collab i never knew i needed until now
i agree Dat
every story i've heard from my friends in the music business who have worked with or run into nickelback over the years confirms what this interview confirms, Nickelback are very nice, smart, funny, and down to earth people.
And super professional!
Smart is questionable
The band was just as nice before and after the interview, as they were on camera. Nice guys.
Thank you for sharing this Rob! :)
Rob, I'd love to come in and buy a Death record. Your store is so iconic.
I love hearing Chad and Ryan reminisce. Best friends vibes totally.
Of all the positive things there is to say about Nardwuar, I haven't seen anyone point out his exceptionally professional mic-holding skills.
Yes he is 100% accurate with his motion haha
The fact that nardwuar remembers everything from each conversation perfectly like 5 years later is just wild to me, I wish I could have that kind of memory for motivational quotes
Probably doesn't do any drugs
These guys clearly know and love music. Nardwuar striking gold once again showing people in a new light.
I’ll always have a soft spot for nickelback. Listening to these guys songs was my childhood.
Same dude
Same!
He has really good mic movement. Very good at knowing when to move to each person when they are talking to each other.
These guys are so genuinely cool and have so much music knowledge. Loved this one
can't say im a fan but they seem like a good, wholesome guys.
They never made it as wise men
@@EddyG0rdo nice
@@EddyG0rdo They couldn't cut it as poor men stealing either.
My thoughts exactly, they are very likeable
yeah except for the whole drunk driving thing, and something about a banned album art (google that)
chad was always so kind to my mom, me & my sister when we’d show up to their shows when she was a young mom
This is the most Canadian rock interview ever 😅 Nardwuar looks so comfy and mellow. Good content!
Naurdwar was pressing them bros hardbody.
The interview I never knew I needed… I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did, well done gentleman, well done.
Haven't seen these guys in an interview before but I was impressed by how nice and well, canadian they are
I'll always respect Nickelback for "the side of a bullet" dimebag tribute. They where good in the early 00's it's no wonder they got huge
Same here. Saw the performance Side of the Bullet from their 'Live at Sturgis' concert and had automatic respect for them
I randomly listened to that song this past November, but I had no idea it was about Dimebag!!! That's awesome they made a tribute for him
@@rad_iguana64 an the solo...was fine dimebag
@@NintenDub the tone and style is so undeniably him ay. So grateful to Rita for letting them have it. And it fits so perfect
one of the best interviews ever!! big respect to nickelback for being fellow nardheads!
Saw these guys about 10 years ago in concert, went to see daughtry, very glad these guys were headlining. Super entertaining show. Chad can play the guitar!
So many wholesome stories out of these guys! That call to Mike was also a great addition (the 'breaking eggs' bit made me laugh so much), awesome interview!
Love the endings when Nardwuar does the stance to assert DOMINENCE lol
This is genuinely your most surprising guest.
Not for Canadian viewers, many who are thinking "What took so long?".
This being respectful makes the strokes interview stand out even more
Well the strokes are just a group of rich kids. Can’t expect them not to be spoiled . 😂
the strokes are overrated
chad singing “voodoo lady” by ween was the kind of magic you could only get from a nardwuar interview
They stood for an hour and chatted. Haven’t even watched yet, but that already earned my respect.
Nardwaur single handedly healing the divide in our nation
Shoutout to poison City Records, on Ryans Shirt. Based in Melbourne Australia and have put out some great albums. One of the driving forces keeping Alt/Punk music alive in Melbourne.
You can hear them lean on their accents a little bit more than usual. Always fun to take people down memory lane
Likely because they’re being interviewed by a Canadian, too. Total Alberta accent.
I've always loved Nickelback and have been proud of them being Canadian, I love them even more after this.
Love or hate them, this is excellent!
totally! Would love to just sit down with them and listen to the stories, you bet they have some wild ones.
Their music sucks but they seem like great guys
Great interview! You actually did your research unlike most interviewers who ask the most predictable questions lol, awesome job! Love these guys!
All of Nardwuar's interviews are researched to this depth, dude is a true Journalist. If you haven't watched any of his other interviews I'd highly recommend it, there's an amazing back catalogue.
They’re Nickelback, he has to know!
Ryan’s reactions are hilarious 😂
Nickelback isn’t a bad band imo, I watched a video recently where a guy did a study on why they were so hated & it basically stems from the radio playing their songs back to back (these guys made some great songs but were overplayed) which annoyed everyone & someone on the internet started a trend that “hating nickelback is cool” & whoever trashed them is part of the “meme”.

Funny because I assume that trend only made them more money 💀

The best nardwuar interview! Two great Canadian guys!
Nardwuar and who?
I’ve seen these guys live 10 times and they kill it every time 🔥 I grew up just like them in a rural Canadian town playing in cover bands, even a few of their songs. So this was great to see, awesome interview
Great interview, I might even say the best interview with them like ever. Been a fan since 98
When the guests have fun and are respectful to nardwuar it makes me like them much more
We don't deserve this at all. Amazing interview.
God please never let Nardwuar leave this planet. The best person ever
Nardwuar is so F-ing sick! He literally makes anyone he’s interviewing open up cause he brings them down memory lane. They seemed to just be happy talking about stuff they never talk about……lol….apparently not even to each other. Amazing. Thank you.
This interview is such a safe space. Instant stress relief. I love these guys
This interview really shows what kind of guys they are......so down to earth and freaking hysterical......I love nickelback......always have. ❤❤❤❤
As a Canadian I Love nickleback from beginning and will until the end. ❤️💙🇨🇦
Not my go-to band but they're great at what they do, and much respect to anyone who gives Nardwuar the respect he deserves. This was very Canadian - can we get a long-form roundtable interview with say, Chad, Alanis, Celine and Alex Lifeson? I wish you had gotten to interview Gordon Lightfoot.
Whoever nickelbacks agent or marketing guy or girl is they are brilliant for having them on nardwaur !! Great interview! Great guys!

Nickelback doesn’t even sound bad and they’re nice guys. The hate for them makes zero sense.
we NEED every single Nardwuar interview in full length on youtbe !!! ...
look, I've never listened to Nickelback, but if Nardwuar cares about them. I care about them. its that simple
Canadian Royalty as far as I’m concerned, oh and Nickelback are pretty cool too ;)
i just realised nardwuar's arm strength must be insane
It grows with every interview
A huge mark of respect when a famous band is more nervous about an interview than the interviewer.
Never got the Nickelback hate - always liked their songs here and there since the 2000s. And that phonecall was hilarious. This whole interview felt like two guys just going down memory lane.
This interview is now in my top 10. Really chill dudes
I really feel like Nickleback didn’t mean to get famous and just kinda did the best they could
Fricken' great interview... and a Ween story!
Always loved these dudes, grew up on em and so happy to see others that still love em despite all the hate they’ve received:)
Omg!! This is a trip down memory lane for this Hanna girl!! Oh Chad I dj’d at the goose too!
We love you nardwuar ❤❤❤one day I’ll be in this show
fingers crossed.
Good luck; keep at it!
Lookin forward to seeing you my friend
Don’t give up. Keep grinding .
I always love when the people being interviewed are fans of Nardwuar
I feel bad I've been saying "crow-ger" when he says "krew-ger".
So awesome to see legends meet THE LEGEND.
NARDWUAR NEVER FORGET YOU'RE THE GOAT!
Chad looks like he is cosplaying Chris Evans’ character from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. That is not a bad thing.
Wow. I did not think I would come away from a nickel back interview having a genuine respect and affection towards Nickelback of all bands.
I genuinely cannot find the words to praise the art you do, and what you provide me personally.
Thank you for all you do
Havent thought of Nickleback in a while and This is How You Remind Me?
Great interview! And that ending - nobody could've seen that chain of events coming. 🤣
I would recommend watching the whole interview. Chad even calls his brother and puts him on speaker, and it's just an awesome wholesome interview in total
20:00 "*wheeze* that dog is pissed"
the most relatable thing ive ever seen in an interview
i’ve always loved them never understood the hate, they seem really down to earth too
no matter how you feel about them, Nickleback is undeniably an iconic band
@Cheech Metal Concrete Camp whats your problem?
Amazing interview as always, loved that they had the opportunity to be interviewed by the legend himself! :D (Nardwaur, Please Sign My Evaporators Record!!)
Dude this guy is literally a Chad and we've all been clowning on this group. They're cool dudes
we now need a Nickleback Pony Cover ASAP
These guys are really cool! I feel bad for trashing their music when i was younger and shallow
Nice guys, bad music
Don’t feel bad because their music blows.

No such thing as bad music, you like what you like.
I love Nickelback. I'm so glad the boys talk a lot of heavy metal. They're so levelheaded.
He sounded good singing voodoo lady
Wow seeing metallica in 89 is an insane moment I woulda jumped in to chad fuck it even if they kicked me out
I love that they all have some connection to nardwuar just by being canadian lol the rubber room in vancouver connection between chads brother and nardwuar is hilarious
They are redeemed lol, this was an epic interview. Say what you want but they have made a great space in music history. NARD MAN IS A LEGEND!!
Okay, Chad is officially an absolute star for that ending bit. Likely the funniest final freeze I've seen.
Thank for doing this these dudes are cool asf 😂❤
Oh this is going to be good. Can't wait to see them at Boots & Hearts this year
I love how sometime the artists can’t recall the event and ask Nardwuar for more information on it 🤣
Nickelback stock just went back up. The internet haters are going to have a hard time with this one. Never hate based on crowd mentality ✌️
Of course they are wholesome Canadian sweethearts. Bless. I will never willingly listen to their music, but bless.
this was great
Nardwaur having nickel back “look at this photograph” lol
Such nice looking boys. I wonder if Joey will ever have anything inexplicable on his head.
Nickelback finally gets their flowers from society. So many shitty things continue to happen but this is a nice universal justice that feels good
I don't mind " how you remind me" but I hate everything else they did. Especially the try-hard ultra edgy period they went through. Chad can be quite the annoying fkn diva , But GOD-DAMN IT THIS WAS A WHOLESOME INTERVIEW.
The world is coming around on Nickleback and this is great news.
Damn you Nardwuar, only you can give me a new-found appreciation for @Nickleback
These guys were so cool, they made me revisit their music.... well, atleast they're nice.
This was a great interview. Was never a huge fan but I respect them for sure . Thanks again nardwuar
Chad chemistry with his band mates is pretty sincere and nice to see.
LOOK AT THIS INTERVIEW!
