Nickelback: the epitome of great music
“Look at this photograph”—of the best band in the world.
This past February, Nickelback was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys. They joined the ranks of greats like Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, and Bob Dylan.
“We are all so excited,” said lead vocalist Chad Kroeger in a recent interview. “I’d like to thank Creed, Linkin Park, and the opera industry for providing us with inspiration and support.”
Nickelback, who formed in 1995, have had wild success with singles such as “Photograph,” “Someday,” and “How You Remind Me.” Their talent is unmatched, and Kroeger has often been described as having the voice of a sweet angel.
“I love Nickelback so much,” said freshman Terry Bulltaste.
While their music is inspiring enough, the story behind their name carries weight of its own. Before embracing his musical excellence, Kroeger worked at Starbucks, frequently telling customers “here’s your nickel back.” When this story was revealed to the press, there was not a dry eye in the place.
Nickelback’s music is popular to groups of all ages, lulling babies to sleep with its beautiful melodies and soothing vocal quality.
“They really are pure talent,” said sophomore John Doe. “I only hope that I can one day be as musically gifted as Chad and the boys.”
While the music industry can’t get enough of the band’s flawless art, fans hope they will release new material as soon as possible.
The momentum from the award might even inspire them to make a 3-D film featuring the story of their rise to fame.
“I mean, who knows?” said Kroeger. “A 3-D movie could be the best thing for our career. Only true visionary artists have those made. Just look at the Jonas Brothers, or Justin Bieber. Talk about real talent.”
The future for Nickelback looks bright as they continue to achieve unprecendented levels of success never before thought possible. They possess so much musical ability that they are likely to go down in history with the likes of The Beatles or The Rolling Stones.
“It’s such an honor,” said drummer Daniel Adair, in the interview mentioned above. “Being in this band makes me prouder than any other accomplishment could.”
