00:02Did you want to come and see all the good folks that showed up tonight?
00:06Light him up!
00:13I knew that I always wanted it to be a part of my life.
00:15I had no idea it was gonna be this integrity.
00:18It always felt right standing on stage and performing for people.
00:24Hannah was the quintessential sleepy little farm town.
00:27Because there's not much going on, it's really easy to get in trouble.
00:31I was a bad kid.
00:32He was either on his way to it or from it.
00:35I think the cops really wanted to get me out of this town, that I can tell you.
00:39I'm glad he got into music.
00:43Ryan played the guitar, that's where the common ground was.
00:46Four guys in a van that shouldn't have made it two miles, and they were living the dream.
00:53In the 2000s, there wasn't a band on the planet that got more radio airplay.
00:57He played the Nickelback.
00:59How You Remind Me has been considered one of America's most played songs ever.
01:05All of that exposure triggered a reaction.
01:09Why does everybody hate Nickelback?
01:11Nickelback, Nickelback, Nickelback, Nickelback, Nickelback.
01:13Nobody picks up the guitar to be in the most hated band in the world.
01:16They were part of cancel culture before we had a name for it.
01:20It's kind of just like a long-running meme.
01:22They became the most hated band in music.
01:25We try and laugh it off.
01:26You can laugh off about 90% of it, and some of it, it hurts.
01:29The complaints about Nickelback aren't unusual.
01:32Their songs are formulaic.
01:34But I think sometimes people want to hear vacuous dumb shit.
01:37He's an amazing front man, you know?
01:39He's a badass.
01:39I've always felt a sense of loneliness about Chad.
01:43I don't have an identity without this band.
01:45This is going to be tough to talk about.
01:47I'm not a Nickelback anymore.
01:48Okay, I quit.
01:50Someday I will, someday I will.
01:53They mean so much to each other.
01:55They've grown up together.
01:57The chemistry is real, it's palpable.
02:00Well, to those of you who see this band as some big corporate sellout, fuck you.
02:10Everybody's got an opinion about them.
02:13Nickelback.
02:13Banner liar.
02:15I play Nickelback songs to Nickelback fans.
02:18So I don't have to go and try and win over someone who doesn't like my band.
02:24That sounds like some very strange form of torture, probably for both of us.
