Nickelback is one of Canada's greatest bands
Look at this photograph: Canada's most-maligned band has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. Kyle Bottom tells Mayce Galoni it's time we appreciated Nickelback.
As Mayce Galoni explains, if you want to say how bad something is, you say it's the "Nickelback of _______."
Canadians have been using this metaphor since the band's big release "How You Remind Me" in 2001. In the meantime, the band has become one of the most internationally successful rock bands in history.
Is it time we showed these Alberta rockers similar appreciation?
Nickel-backer Kyle Bottom tells a skeptical Edmonton audience that the first step is to understand who frontman Chad Kroeger really is.
Chad Kroeger is like a cool stepdad. He's a responsible partier who knows how to make our moms happy.- Kyle Bottom
And Mayce Galoni thinks it's all baloney—even the stepdad comparison.
If anything, Chad Kroeger is the guy your mom dates right after leaving your dad. The guy who, hypothetically, is named Darren, gets drunk at your softball game and makes fun of your weirdly thin wrists.- Mayce Galoni
