"I was very upset, and for two months, if I saw his picture somewhere I would get angry, ... I hadn't lost somebody to a shooting before - it wasn't as though he'd been killed in some sort of accident. He was taken in such a horrible, malicious way that just made it more painful." - Chad Kroeger on the death of his friend Dimebag Darrell

Their name is said to derive from Starbucks that Mike worked at, where he frequently had to give a nickel back as change.

In 2000 Nickelback's singles "Leader of Men" and "Breathe" (from their second album, "The State") were received well, and this was reflected in national charts. Their next three albums ("Silver Side Up," "The Long Road," and "All The Right Reasons") all hit number one in the Canadian charts, with the latter also reaching number one in the United States. Also in Europe they've become famous. After their single "How You Remind Me" they climbed position 2 in the national German charts! The international breakthrough was established! In 2005, Daniel Adair became the new drummer after Ryan Vikedal left the band. (read more)

Nickelback - "Rockstar" 

I'm through with standing in line
to clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
quite the way I want it to be

I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me

Rockstar Lyrics
