NICKELBACK - LIVE 1999 - Super Bon Bon (cover)

[Cooleeo1]

This is awesome. Ryan is an awesome singer. :D

[pissoffuhoser]

This sux mega ass chunks u can't cover a soul couching song what were u idiots thinking?? I feel ripped off I want my nickel back! Lol

[KathrynFKK]

This video kills my soul. SC is one of my favorite bands of all time and NB is watered down corporate pop. Dear god, how can this be allowed to happen?

[kindablue28]

Nickleback should be arrested for ear rape.

[giganticfetus]

fuck you nickelback. just fuck you

[myerselectric79]

Nickle crack needs to stick to the teeny bop and chick songs....

[1moreastronaut]

@LuckyTV333 - what's it like having no taste whatsoever?

[LuckyTV333]

Just listened to the original... First: wtf??? Second: Soul coughing is just fu**ing shit! Third: the only Thing nickelback did was improving this shitty Song!!!! Thank you nickelback for such a great Cover!

[entidade1000]

@LuckyTV333 such a great cover? are you retarded? once I farted and it sounded better than this cover

[thebadpolitician]

wow. that sucked

[160ofthe90s]

Just curious, did anybody else make it past 36 seconds without shedding a tear? I think I hold the record right now. Mike Doughty will live the rest of his life knowing that this actually happened.

[beau99]

@160ofthe90s Mike Doughty linked this on his blog several years ago. He liked it, which says a lot because he hates this song.

[mctape]

what is this I don't even

[Vizzoid]

fuck all of you... I love everything from alice in chains, bls, hank 1,2, and 3, frank sinatra, etc... and I LOVE Nickelback...

[SacheGrande]

listening to this made me throw up in my mouth and then die a little inside.

[omivaun]

could be worse. could be creed doing a super bon bon cover. now that would be scary.

[SmiffWit]

of course the only song they ever played with any value at all wasn't theirs. Nickelback makes me ashamed to be Canadian.

[thatoneotherotherguy]

@SmiffWit don't worry, fellow canadian band Rush more than makes up for them.

[gooddunkel]

Lickasack is an awful band.

[yella030]

JA VOLIM DUŠU KOJA KAŠLJE

[yella030]

SRANJE

[LukaZovko]

@yella030 MRŠ

[yella030]

@LukaZovko MRŠ TI!

[LordDuketheBaron]

This is a terrible cover.

[aerimus13]

Jesus Christ this sucks

[mcmcerson]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Chaseman1981]

[nickelbackrocks74]

@Chaseman1981 asshole

[theonlynecessarylie]

:( x  100000000

[zebonaut]

Just amazing how little musical abiltiy and vision the guitarist displays here just tryong to grab what Soul Coughings weird samples created in the original.

[djlespommes]

weak cover

[amgc55]

This is not a easy song to do, I give 'em props just for trying it! Much better then all the other covers of Super Bon Bon I have heard. True many love to hate Nickelback, but they did this song well.

[KaLeeDo2]

Ncikelback suck balls...I don't care how hip they used to be they're corny ass fuck and make bullshit wanna be grunge music.

[surfbrander]

nickelback should be feeling sorry for causing pain in the ears...soul coughing's song deserve more than this kind of performance.

[LostLikeYou]

lol this is a nicle back concert? phat beats and kids jumping? yea right!

[jagphillyfan1]

I had to stop playing the video once the hand motions started, but I decided to check out the comments. They're freaking hilarious and also completely true. I would like to state my opinion that Nickelback sucks and is an extremely douchy band and they basically took a great song and crapped it out.

[fishjasonfish]

If I could punch Nickleback in the face right now I would sleep better. Oh Ryan, a kick in the nuts is deserved. Chad, fist yourself

[cooperjtd]

one more reason to kick them in the necks if I ever meet them

[Lola32598]

chad shudda been up front

[robpri]

wtf, tune destoyed.

[SchmedleyDoRight]

DESTROY NICKELBACK WITH LASER BEAMS!!

[Chadickelback]

who was the drummer in this video?

[dudelikesWoW]

They ruined an amazing song.

[frostedminipete]

They took out all the funk and soul of the original... Though I guess that's what one would expect. Meh. 1:28 and I had to just cut the video off.

[1992Hando]

I like how Ryan is singing this song on many their concerts.NB forever.

[robertb5442]

Um... no.

[goodtimecharlie3]

ya know for all of you nickelback haters out there, you gotta say for them to cover a song like this from a completely different style of music just goes to how open minded they are musically.....so, maybe they butchered it but, it's really cool that they'd even play the song in the first place....

[phunseekr]

mike doughty is rolling over in his friggin grave and the guy isnt even dead yet

[TurboNemesis]

fuck YOU nickelback! there are some songs and bands you just dont cover. Soul Coughing, and especially Super Bon Bon is one of those. >:(

[bruno1999]

FAIL

You can love them, or hate them, or fuck them - whatever, those are all our choices - but don't slaughter a classic, come on man!

[freddyboombatz]

this version does suck. I cant finish watching it

[pvelez3]

i just threw up in my mouth...just a little though...

[09jamosc]

Nice job Nickelback. You took a tune that grooves like crazy, and turned it very...not. This makes me very sad.

[MissMickie24]

If you don't like Nickelback don't comment on one of the videos that show love for them.IF YOU DON'T LIKE NICKELBACK FUCK OFF ASSHOLE!!!!!

[KaLeeDo2]

@MissMickie24 Go suck their balls on your own time missy...this isnt a video with one of their shit songs its a Soul Coughing song and if you cant dig some critical comments you can kindly fuck off

[hardmous]

@amsyco lmfao. amen

[Chadoholic101]

@amsyco Hating will never go out of style period jackass. Everything on earth is hated by someone.

[CheekySuper]

More people have seen Nickelback perform this cover than have seen Soul Coughing perform anything.  I would never have heard of Soul Coughing if Nickelback hadn't covered the song. Hating Nickelbck is SOOOO 2005. I actually like Shake Your Bonbon better than either.

[fixedgearplanet]

@CheekySuper hating nickelback is timeless. they suck major ass!

[vladrotaru]

this is lame!

[terrapinbrad]

I've never liked Nickelback, and thought this would suck when I clicked on it. I was right. Soul Coughing cannot and SHOULD NOT be covered. Putting your own twist on a cover is what's important, and in this case, it can't be done...boooo :-(

[SnoozeIRTL]

Yeah, props for them doing something thats a little more... unconventional... You can tell that they like it... Its just harder to make music thats weird and cool at the same time. Its easier to make safe and clean, popular stuff like they normally do.

I make music, and trust me, its hard to make weird shit sound cool all the time, like soul coughing does.

[bpm85]

Thats what separates the talented from the rest...

[bajkowsky]

okay, i'll admit that nickelback did a pretty crappy performance of nickelback. but they're not that bad. this just isn't their kind of music. no one can match soul coughin

[ra44mr2]

I guess im out of the "cool" circles as i dont see any good reason to trash Nickleback. Their music is decent and i have not heard of anything that they have said or done that makes them seem pompous. Granted, its not the best cover of super bonbon but i dont wish them to die cause they happen to be successful and fairly decent musicians.

[Greenwave247]

okay jeez you guys bashing nickelback for this cover! its their friggin guitarist singing, not their lead singer! god if u have to stoop this low to criticize them...

[665MAGGOT665]

Hey there Guitarist Sings better then Chad.... Go Ryan!!!!

[amwlady]

if Ryan sang better don't you think he would be the lead singer?

[665MAGGOT665]

nope Chad has a ego his voice goes with some songs like Never Again

but Ryans just as good if you watch him sing Saturday Night he can use same style as Chad and in Animals when Ryans part comes he sings more clear and im glad to hear him in Hangnail,Gotta Be Somebody, Burn it To The Ground.... and there all good friends so i think he lets chad do it

[devourerofbabies]

Chad Kroeger hasn't changed his hair in ten years.

[Laura2181992]

haha he has bleached it and cut it. and straightened it. lol I think that may have been a change to his hair.

[officernarc]

wh...what the fuck?

okay, so even though it's a bad cover, i have to give them the props for at least trying something that isn't entirely butt-rock.

[BertusofWater]

Even the vocals sound pompous  :(

[BIGJBIGEBIGC]

WTF NICKLEBACK DICK MAN. TUCK THEM

[dododummy]

I still stand by my "screw Nicklesuck" comment. Sorry, it makes me angry to see such a horrid band play such a great song.

[nub113]

They're playing this song way too fast, and what's up with the cheese dick echo effect? Pathetic.

[supraroyalty]

loving this song!!!!

[Brandykins1982]

Damn, either people really hate Nickelback or really love Nickelback...there's no in between. I love them...and believe me, there's MUCH worse bands/singers out there than them!

[djs5000]

I agree...even tho i was very disappointed with their last tour

[ECWGuy420]

@djs5000

i woulda been disappointed by simply going

[devourerofbabies]

No, they're not all that bad, that's not why. People hate them because they're made of douche.

[BobbyNipples]

I happen to fall on the side of those who hate them... but upon reading this I realize that a great many of my favorite bands are highly polarizing. Still hate 'em though. XD

[ienjoymetal69]

@Brandykins1982 Its not the fact that there are much worse musicians out there, it's the fact that Nickelback has gotten as big as they have considering how shitty they are. It bothers me when five year old kids say their favorite song is something in your mouth or whatever. I can only imagine the intelligence level of coming generations...

[LukaZovko]

@ienjoymetal69 You cant judge a band by one song! You talk about intelligence,you are mad at five year old kids,they change their opinions like 10 times in one second,if u consider that as an argument than you're dumber than i thought!

[thumblesswonder]

This song sucks anyway, what do you people expect?

[fawnknudsen]

Go to 2:10 to cut to the chase...I would rather hear a cat scream. Nickelback blows dog; they always have, always will.

[HelioSunshinePanda]

This is a FUCKING DISASTER.

[grott365]

this would've been the one time when it was ok to have a sniper in the building!!!

[chlojoh]

I feel like crying for the massacre of this song.

[zenrks]

talk about "when worlds collide!" WTF?? That's not right. . . .

[brothermopsy]

Oh god, Please tell me I didn't just see this! One the bands I hate the most massacring a song from one of my favorite bands ever. HORRIBLE!!!!!!

[AngelOfFreedom90]

Cool, that's Ryan's solo song!!

Yeah, you guys just have to chill out, come on!!

They just do this song for fun, because they like performing it like this, and I think it's cool, its good for the variation in their performances.

Just stop freakin out, okay

[Bicrophone]

Soul Coughing is great in damn near everything they did. NB is also a great band but I have no interest in listening to them. They write strong pop songs and they can play. So this is NOT a rant for NB. That being said, do you think it's possible that even NB likes Soul Coughing as well? Is there something wrong with them having fun with a great song? It's only music. I don't think they ever meant it to be serious? Now go watch your DVD of High Fidelity in your moms basement and chill out.

[fawnknudsen]

I stopped reading at "NB is also a great band...." I would like James the Nintendo Nerd to comment on this total ass-quality of a puke/filth of a performance.

[Bicrophone]

Maybe you should try reading the whole thing?

[fawnknudsen]

I did. And this cover is still ass, always will be. I appreciate your "cooler heads should prevail" speech, but your effort is lost on me.

[dododummy]

Soul Coughing is arguably the greatest and most influential band of the nineties, and my favorite band of all time, whose sound shant never be reproduced. Nickleback is a piece of sh*t band whose cookie cutter sound writes the words "No Talent" on their forehead. Seriously, why? When I saw Super Bon Bon, a great song, and Nickleback in the same sentence, I crapped my pants. What next, Seether singing Blue Eyed Devil ? Jonas Brothers singing Bus To Beelzebub? Has hell frozen over?

[n0n0999]

LOL!  This is hilarious!!

[Maxo1128]

hahaha nice job being just as terrible as i expected, Nickelback.

[ReasonsWhyBand]

man, you guys guys all don't know what you're talking about. I mean, HATING Nickelback??????

[kjmmsb]

this doesn't look like the lead singer of nickelback...i'm thinking it's not.

it does suck though.

[spooledheat]

please remove this abortion from youtube. no one wants to see this.

[bws71]

Hmmmm. This is exceptionally bad. GIves me chills it is that bad. I don't mind Nickleback but they obviously don't get the vibe of the song.

[crytapusta]

I all so cant stand this band.... dont cover a good songs stick with your garbage.

[busyak]

i can't believe such a shitty band like nickelback would even dare attempt to cover any soul coughing song. and they covered one of their best songs. un-fucking-believable. and even after that they blew up and now they suck even more by singing their own songs which are just the worst music on earth.

[notsoniceguy2]

lol nickelback is terrible

[VitalyChernobyl]

Utterly horrible.

[paulieo0]

this is awful. they ruined this song. nickelback sucks.

[Nickthebassist01]

Nice! I see Mike is playing some slap bass, not seen that before!

[asstroids]

dont touch soul coughing ever

[ffrikku]

agreed this is shit

[1346fc]

you have no idea what an adrenaline boost this son used to do to their live show. It's a good vid but you really did have to be there. Thanx for the post

[jessek0be]

nice vid, I've been a fan of nickelback right when hesher came out, cool vid

[fastskyr34]

Ryan is an awesome singer-and a really nice guy! Top lads

[AngelOfFreedom90]

wow, this is really old stuff! This must have been the tour of their first album!

The song ísn't really the Nickelback-style in my opinion, but still nice preformance!

[djs5000]

Yeah it was a show they did right after signing their 1st record deal, just after "the state" came out which they re-released on the new lable (Roadrunner). They used to be a cover band called "The Village Idiots". This cover tune was probably one that they covered alot.
