Chad Kroeger of Nickelback talks to VOA's Larry London about performing at the Olympics, the band's hectic tour schedule and why he likes collaborating with other artists
Gorgeous man. So down to earth, humble & has a great sense of humour. Can't understand why so people hate Nickelback. They say their songs all sound the same or they are all about sex, drinking or whatever. They're just about having fun, nothing wrong with that. They also write great ballads, love songs & songs about everyday life. All the idiots leaving negative comments need to get a sense of humour or get a life and stop watching Nickelback videos if they supposedly hate them so much.
Nickelback is Amazing, every album they release is amazing!! they never fail to impress!! every song is catchy and killer!! it feels like every song is like a single because the songs are just pure amazing.
@@Ztrain360 How bout that one song on his Band "Theory Of A Deadman" where he bashed homeless people for begging in the streets. Claiming that Chad is a "hard worker" fucking bitch makes millions doing gigs that require no kind of work at all besides singing. Oh big deal. Douchebag.
I love how he isn't all 'Oh I love being on the stage all the time and I wish I could be there 24/7' but he admit that there are days where he really doesn't want to be there. To me, that makes an artist more... Human for lack of a better word
Y do ppl always have 2 make negative comments? The only 1 that can judge is God & u will all b judged the same way‼️ I'm proud of Nickleback bcuz we come from the same province Alberta 🇨🇦‼️😎🎩🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
"If Everyone Cared" - a beautiful message to the world! One of my fav. As long as you can... keep donating and going the right way... keep somebody in this world thinking that "everyone cares"! Thanks!
I´m so glad that Nickelback are involved in charity. I thought they didn´t do anything like that even though I know Ryan´s wife has her own foundation...You guys ROCK!
Congraulations Nickelback, no matter what ever happens in this world, you should all be proud of your achievements, and the generosity that you guys have given & showned to others
I honestly don't get why so many people hate him SO much. He's just doing his own thing, havin fun, enjoying what he does. And he's not doing anything wrong or hurting anybody. Yeah he's rich but why do you give a rats ass. If you don't like his music then that's your problem, but especially don't hate him just cause he's rich and famous..I mean really.
Well al i have to say is that i'm so excited about seeing them live down under in November this year (2012) that my hair is doing the Diana Ross thing. I reeeeeeeeally hope the drummer does his solo. That'll knock everyone's socks off for sure. And as for Chad's hair, well it's not really the point now is it?
@q66h Yah probably, When people do on camera interviews they wear makeup for compensation for the camera lighting. Everybody like news and late night comedians wear makeup on camera
To the haters : Why did you type Nickelback in the search box? You say you hate them but you waste your time writing comments on their videos. Nickelback don't really give a f*** about their haters:) Nickelback is awesome
Chad-You R Amaizing! I don't go gagga over many, but this guy is really great. Nickelback is great! He is talented, smart and funny, who can actually laugh @ himself! The songs they sing are all about life, deal with it! I really think the people who don't like them, need to just move on! Find something U do like. Cause as for me, I like this guy & Nickelback!
I'm not a fan, but I'm making a comic book where Kroeger is one of the superpowered characters. His persona is "The Pepperoni," and his arch nemesis is Tony Hawk.
don't throw us under the bus chad! We are canadian... you are,,.... blehh congrats on your tasteless music tour. Man I wish i had your coin! THUMBS UP!
@littlezebra69 Ah, I SO agree!! I have 2 rockstar crushes, Roy Khan, and Chad Kroeger. But Chad is so much more of a real person, and that's the best part of his charm. He is a sexy beast!
How am I stupid for thinking he actually cares if people hate him? EVERYONE has someone who doesn't like them, why would he care when millions of people DO like him and his band? He's a millionaire. If I were him I would give 2 shits less if someone hated me. So you don't like me or my band, so what? He's rich!
They are not a bad band for what they are pop rock. There is nothing wrong with that they sell albums and make money and yeah some of the things they do are immature but who really cares. The music sells.
6 weeks to write a song! wow! well i guess it explains why Nickelback produces such amazing meaningful lyrics! :P i'll bet Justin(e) Bieber's song "baby" didnt take that long!...probably 6 minutes...if that! lol Nickelback all the way!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
@Bloated29Raptor Wow someone with some intelligence! I agree. Metallica from 1984-1993 was just phenomenal. After that during Load and Reload, they were just alright. They still had some little metal medleys here 'n there but, St Anger was just a "What the fuck" move. I mean its great if your not a fan of there music and for the time it was the only half decent thing out by anyone (Which is fucking awful to say). Then Magnetic came out and it was better but, they still haven't gotten there.
HAHAHA Chad looks like that jamaican guy with the dreadlocks from the shampoo ad AFTER he washes his hair....except not black and more gay looking. Nickelback is awesome though, best live band on earth.
Their older material is good stuff, no doubt. The new stuff not so much... Looks like they decided to quit making quality tunes & go after the $. It's a shame.
Your age shows. He's laughing all the way to the bank and funny thing is, I'm not a huge fan, just stating a fact. WHAT DOES HE CARE? He's rich. Don't be jealous.

Exactly 100% agree
So far, every single nickelback song was once my favorite song! Cuz they are AMAZING!!!
i love Kroeger's voice.. no one can replicate him.. that's why people hate
Ok lets make it clear, people hate Chad for his personality
@@th6n he’s a great guy everyone says he’s a douche but no one has any good reasons why, it’s so stupid
@@Ztrain360 How bout that one song on his Band "Theory Of A Deadman" where he bashed homeless people for begging in the streets. Claiming that Chad is a "hard worker" fucking bitch makes millions doing gigs that require no kind of work at all besides singing.
Oh big deal. Douchebag.
One of the best bands out these days :')
I love how he isn't all 'Oh I love being on the stage all the time and I wish I could be there 24/7' but he admit that there are days where he really doesn't want to be there. To me, that makes an artist more... Human for lack of a better word

Never get boring of listening this interview !!!!
Wow. O,O His talking voice was completely different from what I imagined!
"If Everyone Cared" - a beautiful message to the world! One of my fav. As long as you can... keep donating and going the right way... keep somebody in this world thinking that "everyone cares"! Thanks!
This is my first time seeing him in an interview, he's so different from the hardass rock persona I was imagining in my head
Chad has a beautiful voice I like to listen to their music
He's got so beautiful eyes! ...and wonderful smile!
... and just listening to him - aaawwww he's SO cute!
I´m so glad that Nickelback are involved in charity. I thought they didn´t do anything like that even though I know Ryan´s wife has her own foundation...You guys ROCK!

I LOVE CHAD KROEGER AND NICKELBACK !!!!!!!!!
He seems like a pretty nice guy. People need to dissociate the music from the man.
The more I know him... I love him infinitely more. 🥺🌌🙏♥

I love him with his curly blonde hair!!
I always wondered what his talking voice sounded like.

Thank u for the video
I feel so enlightened. I'm not going to kill myself anymore. Your comment, laden in unneeded caps and punctuation, has saved my life.

And as for Chad's hair, well it's not really the point now is it?
Congratulations Chad and Avril !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Rino9996 His name is spelled Kroeger, but it's pronounced Kruger... As in Freddy Kruger.
@q66h Yah probably, When people do on camera interviews they wear makeup for compensation for the camera lighting. Everybody like news and late night comedians wear makeup on camera
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
CHADDDDD
Chad is awesome and so is Nickelback. He’s very talented and also humble. Great guy. I don’t understand the mockings?!
why must he be so attractive?
To the haters : Why did you type Nickelback in the search box? You say you hate them but you waste your time writing comments on their videos. Nickelback don't really give a f*** about their haters:)
Nickelback is awesome
Would be fun to just sit down and how a beer with Chad :) seems like a nice guy :)
Chad-You R Amaizing! I don't go gagga over many, but this guy is really great. Nickelback is great! He is talented, smart and funny, who can actually laugh @ himself!

Sometimes i can't tell it's Chad's voice. >.
I'm not a fan, but I'm making a comic book where Kroeger is one of the superpowered characters. His persona is "The Pepperoni," and his arch nemesis is Tony Hawk.
fave!
Everybody hates the "Eagles" too. But everyone knows the words. You'll see us all in Walmart!
No they dont...
fuck it, I like Nickelback. I never understood why people hate on them...jeez
i wanna see Ozzie Osborne and him do something, 2 rock legends who haven't sold out jamming together, would be epic
@Bloated29Raptor I agree. Metallica is on the fence about going back to where they should be. Lars wants to make "Art" and James wants good music.
i think the interviewer mispronounced his last name wrong. Isn't it kro-ger? or is it kru-ger?
don't throw us under the bus chad!
We are canadian... you are,,.... blehh
congrats on your tasteless music tour.
Man I wish i had your coin!
THUMBS UP!
this dude keep s talking jewelry!
...His hair looked so better long and curly...Not saying its bad now..
did justin bieber invented these subtitles????he says dark horse-in sub's -our chorus
@XxhipphoppetexX He straightened it in 2007.....
the only Canadians i like.
@danger3221 yeah I know eh, alot of rock singers are like that. its in the technique
nickelback is the best band of the world and history and Chad Kroeger is GOD!! God came from canada and his name is chad kroeger
haha i do infact have a life knowing i play baseball year round and go fishing and hunting quite often and i do it because people like you crack me up
@lucasoil48 you forgot Three Days Grace, Sum 41, Arcade Fire....
Chad will come to Brazil when samos also rich in music, south america
@littlezebra69 Ah, I SO agree!! I have 2 rockstar crushes, Roy Khan, and Chad Kroeger. But Chad is so much more of a real person, and that's the best part of his charm. He is a sexy beast!
Are you mad cause you dont have his hair cuz i am lol
Honestly, not "hating" on Nickleback, but Alter Bridge is way better.
Especially metaliguis
Come to argentina :(
😀❤❤❤💯
How am I stupid for thinking he actually cares if people hate him? EVERYONE has someone who doesn't like them, why would he care when millions of people DO like him and his band? He's a millionaire. If I were him I would give 2 shits less if someone hated me. So you don't like me or my band, so what? He's rich!
he doesn't talk the way he sings
-Pause in 2:24
-Now see a Nicolas Cage photo on Google
-Twins?
I hate people who argue pointlessly on youtube...
He sounds different then he looks
u like jim carrey well if u do hes canadian u like mike myers if u do well hes canadian 2 there r so many celebs that r canadian
Funny how he looks better now haha
he looks better with longer hair

@siondudley nope, that's either nikki minaj or yourself you're thinking of.
The only reason I watched this is so I could see how he responds to all the hatred of his band...interviewer, what a waste of a golden opportunity.
@bdawn8403 I think he looks GREAT! MMMMM
Shakira vaka loka Cup 2010 in Africa dare to see the world from a field denro
