What brought Nickelback to the top?
Nickelback is a rock band made up of 5 compelling musicians. Their personalities, talent and skill, along with the stories in each song, are what keep their fans around, and continually attract new audiences. Nickelback attracts audiences of all ages, if you appreciate music and art; you will definitely enjoy the performance this band offers.
This Canadian rock band began their career back in the 90's, and was inspired by the once popular band - "Creed". These musicians were determined to make it to the top regardless of the tough road they had in front of them. They definitely dealt with their share of difficulties and struggles, but made a quick rise regardless. Today they are amongst some of the top rock and roll bands around.
The lead singer of Nickelback - Chad Kroeger - is where it all started. He perfected his talent by singing with many local bands in Hanna. He realized; however, that he would need to go bigger than his hometown if he were to make a name for himself. This is when he headed off to Vancouver, where his brother Mike met - shortly after - him.
Two other band members in 1996 - Ryan Vikedal and Ryan Peak, joined Chad and Mike. This is the year the group could begin calling themselves a band, and they decided to go by the name of Nickelback. (The name came from a phrase Mike used to say when he worked at Starbucks.)
The talent that these musicians brought to the table was breath taking, but their energy and passion was much more captivating. Their passion and energy enabled them to do their own advertising. They approached club owners, radio stations, and crated their own posters for their gigs - they even created their own YouTube website. This drive got them to the point that - also in 1996 - they were able to begin touring and sharing their music.
Canadian stations, in the beginning of 2000, were looking for local bands to highlight. This was the perfect opportunity for Nickelback to share their latest creation - "The State", which was their first song to hit the charts. Nickelback had over 200 bookings, which finally got them noticed by recording artists. EMI - a Canadian recording firm - and Roadrunner Records - a U.S. recording firm - were the first to sign contracts with this young band.
In 2005, Ryan Vikedal left and Daniel Adair took his place. This did not slow the band down one bit. Daniel had the same passion and drive that the other members had, and they kept moving forward. In 2005 the released an album called "All the Right Reasons". This album stayed on the top 30 charts for two years, which is nearly unheard of. Additionally, the album sold over 7-million copies in the U.S. alone!
There are no proper words to describe their music other than alluring; their shows are no different. At every performance, Nickelback encourages their fans to participate in the show. As an audience member, you cannot help but be full of energy and passion and adore the band. You still have plenty of time to get tickets for one of their 2009 show. Take the whole family - everyone - of all ages - will enjoy the music and the performance. - 18780
