Hate to Love: Nickelback

Because it appears people have forgotten, Nickelback became hated because they refused to perform at a charity concert at the last minute unless they got paid more. A charity concert.....now they're desperate to come up with other excuses for why people started to hate them.

They were very popular when they first came out but then their personalities started to show. That's okay though, it's 2024 and everyone is a victim in the world of avoiding responsibility for your actions.

Aside from that they're what Green Day became except Nickelback became pop much quicker once in the limelight. Don't blame others for your bad choices and greedy nature.

Some nerd comic who no one thought was very funny thought he'd start a meme-like commentary pooping on this band. No one still cares about that dummie while Nickelback is still rocking!

Nickelback is one of the greatest bands of all time - period. Just like the sun comes up and goes down its a fact.

I think one of the more powerful segments of this documentary was when there were a series of clips of online folk slagging the band only to cut whole-heartedly into singing one of their songs. They're Canadian pop culture, American pop culture, small town country life, a bit of country a bit of grunge and a bit of metal. A very human band too, three of which grew up together from the start and the last member's been with them for 18 yrs.

Great documentary, I highly enjoyed it and recommend it!

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)
