"In three words, describe Nickelback."

"Pile of guys."

Nickelback bandmates Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger and Daniel Adair are in fine form in this interview with TikTok creator Kris Collins, a.k.a Kall me Kris. The band, which will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame during the 52nd Juno Awards, sat down with Collins before their big night, and chatted about filming their very first performance DVD (RIP), their first jobs (as janitors, dishwasters and paper deliverers), and the advice they'd give their past selves.

Watch the first part of their interview together below, and head to CBC Music's TikTok account to watch Part 2.
