Nickelback Biography
Canada's Nickelback started life as a cover band in Hanna, 215
kilometers northeast of Calgary. Eventually, they tired of playing
other people's songs, and singer/guitarist Chad Kroeger put together a
collection of original songs, borrowed money from his stepfather, and
went to Vancouver to record the band in a friend's studio. Based on the
results, Kroeger's bassist brother, Mike, guitarist Ryan Peake, and
drummer Ryan Vikedal all relocated to Vancouver in 1996; that same
year, they recorded and released the EP Hesher and full-length Curb
independently, then embarked on a series of cross-country tours.
In late 1998, the bandmembers started managing themselves, with Chad
handling all the radio tracking, brother Mike Kroeger the distribution,
and Ryan Vikedal all the bookings. A second LP, The State, was released
independently in January 2000 during a period when Canadian content
requirements were increased and local rock radio began desperately
seeking out homegrown product. What they found was Nickelback's single
Leader of Men. The band toured ceaselessly for The State and 200
shows later, Nickelback had gone from virtual unknowns to playing in
front of over a million people alongside the likes of Creed, 3 Doors
Down, Fuel, and more. The band's post-grunge commercial appeal wasn't
lost on the record industry, and The State was snapped up by Roadrunner
in the U.S. and EMI in Canada. It eventually sold an impressive 500,000
copies.
Many of the songs that comprised the third album, Silver Side Up, were
written even before The State was released in America and road-tested
in front of eager audiences on cross-country treks. The other
significant change was Chad Kroeger's conscious decision to write his
lyrics in a more direct manner, rather than the metaphorical lyrics of
previous releases. Too Bad pertained to the father who was never
around when Chad and his brother were growing up; Never Again was a
song inspired by broken homes; and How You Remind Me, the first
single from the album, was written at rehearsals shortly before the
band went into the studio.
To record the album, Nickelback worked with producer Rick Parashar
(Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog) at the same studio they used for The
State, Vancouver's Green House. The combination of the band's growing
popularity and the quality of the songs sent Silver Side Up into the
sales charts around the world, spearheaded by the hit single How You
Remind Me. (It was only the second time in history since the Guess
Who's American Woman that a Canadian band had been number one on both
the Canadian and U.S. rock charts at the same time.) After Nickelback's
initial mainstream exposure, Kroeger produced Vancouver natives Default
and collaborated with Saliva singer Josey Scott for the Spiderman
soundtrack.
The more polished The Long Road arrived in 2003. The single Someday
shot to number seven on the Billboard charts, and the album sold five
million copies worldwide and was supported by another successful
international tour. In February of 2005 it was announced that Ryan
Vikedal had left the band, but Vikedal claimed in an interview he was
pushed out for not being the type of drummer the band required. A
month later it was announced that former 3 Doors Down drummer Daniel
Adair was his replacement, and that Nickelback was jamming at Kroeger's
studio in Vancouver in preparation for their next album. ZZ Top's Billy
Gibbons and the late Dimebag Darrell from Pantera were guests on the
chart-topping All the Right Reasons, which saw release in October of
2005. ~ Ed Nimmervoll, All Music Guide
