Hate to Love: Nickelback

I think people just enjoyed making a trend out of hating on Nickelback. I've always been a fan. They put on a kickass concert too. This documentary was super informative and uplifting. Highly recommend.

It walks through the formation of the band from the very beginning. It was news to me that they came out with their first album back in the 90s. It then goes through the background of each of the band members. They show different scenes from some of the concerts they've performed.

If you're a proud (or closeted) fan of Nickelback, you should watch this documentary. I have more of an appreciation for them now after watching this documentary.

I honestly have just never understood the hate. They are a great band. Great music. If it isn't your particular type of music.. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! I mean really.. As is the case with anything. Movies, TV, Music, etc. It has always been crazy to me how some people just turned to such hate. WHY???? I was glad to see the documentary because I have just never understood why anyone would want to make someone feel bad for no other reason than they just don't like their music or a band member, whatever. You do have the option NOT TO BUY OR LISTEN TO THEM! Ok, so they aren't for you. Why keep saying hateful, hurtful things??

I personally say no to both - no wait! There is pleasure - in listening, so no pun intended as always. Now I would like to believe that anyone who (still) hates Nickelback would not make themself suffer through the documentary - or my review. Though I am not going to be mean - at all.

I never really understood how this became a thing. I reckon it is always a thing of people to want to bring others down, when they feel they have claimed success while not being "worthy" of it ... even more so when it comes to Rock - that seems to have softened to be more pop than fans would like it to be.

This is just one of the things that will be mentioned here in the documentary. But this is more personal ... this is about the band members ... about how they got together and how they are sticking together! They are as it seems family.

There are quite a few nuggets here - you don't have to be a fan of them - this will be interesting unless you absolutely hate them ... although even then I assume some might be swayed over .. let them have fun! Have fun too ... or just don't listen to them (their music) ... live and let live (live on stage or elsewhere)

Listen, facts are facts. They have one of the largest fan bases ever, not only in Canada but the World. If I were a wealthy and successful as these guys I would LOVE TO BE HATED!!! I seriously doubt that the haters of Nickelback have ever been to one of their shows. They pack so much energy and stage presence that there are few who could top them. Hit after Hit after Hit...So proud to call them kick ass Alberta boys...well Daniel we will adopt you into this great province!!!

An intriguing documentary of the power of friendship, palpable among themselves and then shared with their audience consistently. The movie highlights the challenges to that bond through the trials of fame, especially after being attacked by so many out of what can only be jealousy on a mass scale. The strength of the personality of the band leader Chad and likeability of the members sets the stage for partying in the best sense, keeping the intent intense but fun. I had been to only one concert but really felt like I would like to reexperience what they offer even though I've left my Woodstock days pretty far behind me.
