Nickelback is a Canadian rock band formed in
1995 in Hanna, Alberta. It is
composed of guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger,
guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake,
bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair.
It went through
several drummer changes between 1995 and 2005, achieving its current lineup
when Adair replaced Ryan Vikedal.
Nickelback is one of the most commercially
successful Canadian rock bands, having sold more than 50 million albums
worldwide. In 2009, Billboard ranked it the most successful rock group of that decade; "How You Remind Me"
was the best-selling rock song and the fourth-best overall. The band ranked at
Nº 7 on the Billboard top artist of the decade list, with four albums among the
publication's top albums of the decade.
The band signed with Roadrunner Records in 1999 and re-released its once-independent album The State. This
album was commercially successful, as was its follow-up, Silver Side Up, in
2001. The band then released its biggest hit, "How You Remind Me", a
Nº 1 on the Billboard and Canadian
Singles Charts. The fourth album, The Long Road, was
released in 2003 and spawned five singles, including Canadian Nº 1 "Someday",
which also reached Nº 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2005, the band's best-selling album to
date, All the Right
Reasons, produced three top-ten and five top-twenty
singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Photograph",
"Far Away",
and "Rockstar".
Dark Horse sold well in 2008, producing eight singles, one cracking the top ten
on the Billboard Hot 100 and two in the top twenty. In 2011, the seventh album,
Here and Now,
topped the charts. The eighth, No Fixed
Address, was released in 2014, followed by Feed the Machine in 2017.
Nickelback is based in Vancouver, British
Columbia. It originally published through EMI Canada before
signing a global distribution deal with Roadrunner Records.
For Here and Now, it left EMI Canada for Universal
Music Canada.
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me...
