What brought Nickelback to the top?
Nickelback is a rock band, originating from Canada, that is made up of 5 stunningly talented musicians. The mix of personalities and the obvious skill creates music that is nothing short of energetic. Their energy and passion attracts fans - of all ages - continuously, hit after hit. If you enjoy music, and welcome a good show, attending a Nickelback performance should be on the top of your list for the year.
Nickelback began their career in the mid to late 90's - originally inspired by a band known as "Creed". They; however, had a passion and drive that pushed them to be more successful than their inspiration. Their venture was not an easy one, nor one that happened overnight, they faced many struggles and bumps on their journey to the top. Today; however, it does seem as if they began right where they are - at the top.
The lead singer of Nickelback - Chad Kroeger - is where it all started. He perfected his talent by singing with many local bands in Hanna. He realized; however, that he would need to go bigger than his hometown if he were to make a name for himself. This is when he headed off to Vancouver, where his brother Mike met - shortly after - him.
Ryan Vikedal and Ryan Peake were the next additions to the band, in 1996. It was at this point that the group decided - and agreed - to call themselves Nickelback. (Mike, Chad's brother coined this phrase. Every time he would give customers change, he would say "a nickel back". A silly little catch phrase turned into the name of one of the top rock and roll bands of today.)
The talent that these musicians brought to the table was breath taking, but their energy and passion was much more captivating. Their passion and energy enabled them to do their own advertising. They approached club owners, radio stations, and crated their own posters for their gigs - they even created their own YouTube website. This drive got them to the point that - also in 1996 - they were able to begin touring and sharing their music.
The year 2000 opened new doors for the band. Canadian radio stations were looking to showcase only local bands this year, which gave Nickelback their window of opportunity. "The State" was their most recent release, and was the song that began to catch the attention of many - including recording artists. Canadian and U.S. recording firms signed contracts with the band for distribution rights of "The State".
In 2005 Ryan Vikedal was replaced by Daniel Adair. This did not; however, put a halt to their fame. The same year their released "All the Right Reasons". This album sold over 7-million copies, and stayed on the top 30 charts for two years - and these are only the stats for the United States.
The passion that drives Nickelback is what makes them so special and what captivates thousands of audiences each year. Their music is beyond phenomenal, and their shows are even better. (They actually entice audiences to participate in their shows!) Their energy quickly spreads throughout the entire audience; you cannot help but enjoy your time at one of their performances. Their 2009 tour is in full swing; get tickets now while you still have a chance! - 18423
