History

Formation (1995)

The band was formed in the early 1990s as a cover band called Village Idiot[9] by brothers Michael andChad Kroeger;their cousin Brandon Kroeger andRyan Peakerounded out the band. The band later changed its name to Nickelback, which originated from thenickelin change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job atStarbucks;he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back."[10][11] The band performed covers of songs fromLed ZeppelinandMetallica.Chad Kroeger then asked his step-father to loan him CA$4,000 so that the band could record their first demo, a seven-trackEPof original material, calledHesher(1996).[12][13] The band spent half the money to record the EP, while Kroeger spent the other half onmagic mushrooms[9]to resell.

CurbandThe State(1996–2000)

In 1996, the band recorded and released their first full-length album,Curb."Fly" was included on bothHesherandCurband was the first single produced by Nickelback. In 1997, Brandon Kroeger left the band and was replaced by Mitch Guindon; however, Guindon soon departed as well. While initially reported due to him starting work at a car company, Guindon's departure came due to him "not [being] meant for the road". Chad Kroeger stated that his skin was not able to handle cold weather and they convinced him to leave.[14]In Summer 1998, Ryan Vikedal joined the band.

RoadrunnerA&RRon BurmantoldHitQuartersthat one of hisWest Coastscouts sent him the self-released album and, suitably impressed, he travelled to Vancouver to see them perform live. Although an unknown property in the industry at the time, the venue was packed out. In Burman's words: "I immediately got the chills! I thought their song 'Leader of Men' was a smash hit."[15]Off the stage he was impressed by their industry and initiative in managing their career. Despite this, it still took Burman three months for him to convince his label Boss es to approve the signing, a decision that would mark Roadrunner's first move into mainstream rock.[15]Nickelback signed a record deal with EMI andRoadrunner Recordsin 1999.

The Statewas released by Nickelback in 2000 byRoadrunner RecordsandEMI Canada,followed by its release in Europe in 2001. It spawned 4 singles: "Old Enough", "Worthy to Say", "Leader of Men"and"Breathe",the last two being Top 10 rock hits.

Silver Side UpandThe Long Road(2001–2004)

Around 2001,Chad Kroegerstarted "studying every piece, everything sonically, everything lyrically, everything musically, chord structure. I would dissect every single song that I would hear on the radio or every song that had ever done well on a chart and I would say, 'Why did this do well?'" Kroeger said that Nickelback's single "How You Remind Me"sold so well because it was about romantic relationships, a universal subject, and contained memorable hooks.[18]

So, the answer is no. We're doing it on our schedule, at our own pace, and it'll be done when it's done. 'Cause we've blown up deadlines in the past lots of times. Because we feel that you can make a good record and be late, but you can't, or you shouldn't, make a shitty record to be on time. So we won't be pressed for time.[89][90]

He turned out an extremely racy album that's loaded with songs about gettin' drunk and doin' it all without breaking any taboos, and with enough love andmoral authorityto grease its passage into the mainstream. Rejoice, North America. This is your world. "[141]Billboardpraised the band in a review ofDark Horseby saying: "The bulletproof Nickelback provides affordable fun that promises good returns in hard times."[142]In a review for the band's ninth albumFeed the Machine,AllMusicreviewerStephen Thomas Erlewinenoted that they had mostly done away with the crude and vulgar lyrical content they had become known for, and praised the band for evolving their sound.[143]
