  • i wanna hear more from ryan great singer/guitarist the richie sambora of my generation

  • Ok so why isn't Ryan the face of the band? He's got a better voice, and can play the guitar better

  • @slapbass25 Chad's got better and more unique voice.

  • I agree BassManGilbert but bands do what they can to sell records. I too am a huge Nickelback fan and was at this concert. Fact is, Nickelback is every Canadians love to hate band. They burst onto the scene, stuggled and had the number 1 hit in North America thanks to our American neighbors. Canadians thought it was too much too soon and turned on our Alberta band.

  • I LOVE RYAN!!!!!! sometimes his voice reminds me a bit of Kurt Cobain. :) Ryan Peake is so cute!!!!!!

  • For all of the haters:

    YOU try dropping out of high school, Then having an amazing band that has sold millions of albums world wide. Why the hell do you guys even WATCH Nickelback's videos if you "hate them SO much"?

  • fuck you nickelback

  • Fuck me Ryan can sing,

  • WHY!!! Did they not play this on their New Zealand leg of the tour!! mmmm... Ryan, you fine hunk of a man!!!

  • i think it's amazing a band that plays for 14 years covered a band half their age...more power 2 kol...btw it is a nice cover:D

  • Wow. Ryan's got a richer voice than Chad.

  • When I went to a Nickelback concert back in 2007, Ryan sang Elton John's Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting). He was awesome!

  • @jonnyjhiad Why are you watching nickeblack videos if you despise them? They are on of the most successful bands today. You're just jealous :)

  • i saww him do this at m e n arena it was epic crowd went madd

  • The only thing I find annoying about this video is the chick screaming woooo!

  • @brightfallenstar haha sorry I can't control the people around me. Had i brought my other digital camera then it would've only caught the band not people around me!

  • How about All you haters just shut the hell up? Honestly, you have nothing better to do than insult bands you dont like over the internet? If you dont like them fine. But you comment on the videos about how much they suck, Prepare to get feedback from the true fans. Love the video man.

  • @HardRawRocknRoll well why would you do that? you'd just be putting more money in their pocket.

  • @darkhorse09edmonton satisfaction, and being able to say: i threw stones at nickelback. It's like paying to throw pies at a man on a bullseye, big scale

  • Hey why even tray to convince anybody? Theres a thing about music that everyone experience it on his/her way! For you can be unique Kings of Leon, for someone else Nickelback and for someone can be more unique just a boy on the street who can with just 3 cords recreate more powerful feeling that any electric guitar in the hands of professional musician can.

    It all depends of the listener...

  • So dont try to convince (in this case) that Nickelbacks music is no good. If it is their lyrics, or energy on the stage, or guitar riffs or even just good looks of the guys that give someone that feeling while listening their musicwell thats all you need.

    Live and let live, right? Listen and let listen;)

  • I lovid :)

  • Shit great live version!

    The ones who says its crap dont now a shit about music, go listen to jayZ!

  • KOL is way way more original than nickleback. All of nicklebacks songs sound the same like actually and never changed theyre style or experiment. KOL for the win!!!!

  • are you kidding me?

    Listen to "The State" and then "All the Right Reasons"

    They're style has greatly changed over the years.

    I'm so sick of people now. If a band changes, they are called sell outs or it is said that they aren't sticking to their "roots".

    If they DON'T, people say that they are boring and unoriginal.

    What's wrong with people?

  • You can't make anyone happy these days is what it is!

  • @BassManGilbert I've been saying this for years, Cheers bro.

  • @HandsomeMattt And to you! It's good to find someone who agrees!

  • @BassManGilbert They Are Playing What The Fans Want And We Cant Ask For More Than That

  • you all stuiped nickelback have been going longer sold more albums and more ppl like them so shut up you fags

  • @guitarbenn96 well 1 of your point is wrong...yes, Nickelback used to sell alot BUT since 2008 and after, they are not as popular as Kings of leon.

  • why is chad not singing

  • that was a discrase to KOL. Nickelback should never cover Kings of Leon. Horrible cover. Horrible band.

  • i seen them live i think they're way better than KOL

  • nickelback is better , idk why they should sing thoose songs that fail

  • fuck up da hole lod of yas ys couldet play half as good as dem fuckin fairplay to the lads

  • well, i dont really love or hate either of them but kol's original is definitely way way better than nickleback's cover. although there's is live so...ya know.

  • agreed. :D nickelback sucks mold and kings of leon win. ryan peake can't sing worth crap, he is offkey 100% of the way through. except the original is 50,000 times better.

  • @UntitledArePonies Ryan Peake is a God. I saw this live, and he was amazing. Just like all four times I've seen Nickelback in concert. To me, this version is way better than the KOL one... :)

  • @MsTank1403 Agreed, I think its way better than the KOL one!

  • well..

    they always say the original is better than the cover.

    'specially here. :l

  • i like nickleback but maybe they shouldnt have covered this song it doesnt sound to good

  • O.o

  • Ah I love Nickelback =]

    Ryan Peake is amazing

    as are the other members of the band.

    the Nickelback concert i went to this august

    was unforgettable, but i wish peake would have sang too! =]

  • terrible!

  • this makes me sick. i have heard caleb (lead singer of kol) make fun of nickelback because they suck so i dont know why they would cover this. horrible shame.

  • this cover aint that bad, the vocals sound similar to the KOL version and that means SHIT. The dude from KOL can't sing to save his life. And whoever says nickleback is soft rock for pussies, listen to their albums, 9 out of 10 tracks on every album is all out fuckin metal!

  • HOLY SHIT this sounds horrible...Kings Of Leon are infinitely better than Nickelback

  • oh my god, if ur a nickelback fan just shut up because they obviously respect kings of leon enough to cover there song. i am a fan of both bands, and they are both amazing, if you dont like nickelback DONT WATCH THE VIDEO, if you dont like kings of leon DONT WATCH THE VIDEO. Dont watch it then piss and moan on how bad either band is.

  • lmfao damn i feel so small now...

    I have no problem with KOL fans, no matter how much i hate the band, but it's when they slag off a band that have had more success than KOL and will still be he in 5 years time as opposed to KOL who have came into the scene all of a sudden with sex on fire, i know they were around earlier but not very popular, when the dust settles on their latest album , it will go away.

    The KOL fans are a lot like those who jumped on the nickelback bandwagon after rockstar

  • Nickleback is a horrible band...never try to cover Kings of Leon. Butchered that song.

  • lmfao twatface!

    fair enough if you dont like nickelback yeah, but dont ever say they butchered this song, they made it so much better, Kings of leon should be honored such a good band liked their song.

    KOL Suck quite frankly and will never emulate bands like nickelback, theyre a fad that will grow old next year.

    Sex on fire and use somebody are their only good songs, the rest are terrible.

  • totally agree with u on that .......it just killed this lovely song for me....wtf...

  • i actually like the song when kings of leon arent singing it, any cover of it i like.

    Get off your high horse mate, 2 years ago you probably didnt know of KOL, if you did you would be disappointed :p

  • hmmmm i reckon you should all smoke a bong and get over it, if it puts me in a good mood then it's a good song regardless of who sings it.

  • if they can make money of music that sounds the same and people still like it and love it., then why change. besides if you listen to their newest albums you will know their music varies a good bit.

  • ok what do you mean exactly by original sounding? if they write it is it not original. Matter of fact Chad kroeger (leadsinger) writes many songs for other bands. Theory of a deadman, default, daughtry, If you don't like their music then ok cool but some people due . The argument that their music doesn't sound original is horrible. anyone could make that argument about any band. who's to say what is original or not.

  • he is so bad

  • i can't believe they are "NIckelbacking" good music now. Wow that sucks! Seriously great vocals?? Ever hear of singing on key? The only reason for NIckelback covering good music is that they haven't written an original sounding song since album 2. But hay if you like country and pop Nickelback fits right in, all formula and nothing new to add...

  • i totally agree, nickelback is always the same old shit

  • Im sorry but you obviously have no idea what your talking about. Nickelback are inventive and even write songs for other bands.

    Kings of Leon have only ever written TWO good songs, as opposed to dozens nickelback have made.

    But Hey, if you like inbred texan folk singing shitty little indie tracks, then Kings of leon fit right in.

    Nice to see them get booed at reading and leeds by the way,

  • So people from texas are inbreds?

  • If that is how you feel lmao,

    technically i'm calling KOL inbred's, and they sound texan so ima just guessing.

    Texans may be inbreds you never know...

  • FUCK NICKLEBACK

  • HAHAHA they had to take a good song and "eff" it up.

    listening to kaylob lastnight sing it was def a billion times more amazing.

  • caleb is an inbred

  • this is soooo badddd

  • nickelback do this song alot better and ryan peakes better than caleb from kings of leon

  • I love both bands as well and thought Ryan killed it at the show in March. Very sad that they took it out of rotation this summer :(

  • YES YES YES YES YES YES... sorry, I got a little excited. THis is my favorite song right now - love Kings of Leon. Also love NB, going to see them in Charlotte tomorrow night and cannot wait. Ryan is such a hottie in NB and man if they do this song, it will totally be the climax of my summer!! Too awesome!

  • This is nothing compared to the orgininal. This is disgracing this awesome song

  • why?

  • Comment removed

  • I think this cover is ace tbh - the heavier style gives a great song an awesome fresh feel :)

  • This is sad.

  • why?

  • Because Nickelback's a bland, average, non-exceptional in any way band trying to capitalize on a "hot" band's popularity by covering their big single in concert. Their "version" (and I use that term lightly) is atrocious.

    And, before you ask, since you seem to have taken the mantle of Nickelback defender upon yourself, I only watched the video because someone else linked it to me so I can see the epic failure.

  • too bad he's slightly flat on almost every line and just sliding through through notes - doesn't do the song enough justice

  • hes good. better than good. he has a really strong voice. nobody notices it because hes bg vocals. give him a chance.

  • this is better than the original. not the quality, but ryan peake owns.

  • I have never heard of KOL before I found Nickelback's version of this song. I went and listened to KOL's version and while I though it was really good. I still prefer the Ryan Peake version, I just love the rocky tone in his voice singing this song, I bet it would sound even more amazing if he made a studio recording of it. To me it sounds like Caleb sings it in a higher key or something, where as Ryan's is lower, and I prefer the lower rocky voices but everyone has their own opinion.

  • The keys the same but Nickleback seem to always have a deep tone to their guitars and use drop D tuning to get a heavier sound. Saw them do this live on the opening in of their UK in Manchester last month and it was great, although I was drunk so I probably didnt notice if the vocals were flat.

  • I agree, Ryans vocals sound good with this song.

  • I was there I thought it sounded better with nickelback playin it instead of KOL

  • nickelback outsell and outclass kings of leon in ever respect.

    nickelback are awesome.

  • Now I love Nickelback and all but... Thats just not true..

    Nickelback outclass Kings of Leon? Hmmm..

  • nickelback does outrank kings of leon im sorry but its true lool

  • I think you have seriously lost your mind.

  • nope i havent but i think I seriously have a different opinion than you.

  • chill.

  • hey u guys dont hate on nickelback if u think they suck then u need to go out and prove it by writing ur own songs but u cant do it so shut up unless u can honestly say u have had more success then them then keep ur mouths shut and seriously y look up something u dont lyk that is stupid do u not have something u wanna see to look up perhaps the actual version of the song so dont hate cuz u couldnt make it sound any better if u did it and if nickelback sucks y do they have so many fans

  • because the world is full of retards with no taste

  • I don't care about your silly web-fight. But only dumbasses use the word 'retard' to put other people down. It is asinine comment... look it up idiot, I know you don't know what asinine is, that is why you use the term 'retard'.

  • I'm sorry that I alerted the "retard" police.... I guess you just roam around from video to video, making sure that everybody remains 100% PC..... Obviously you didn't check the definition either.

    Asinine means beside the point or unrelated to the topic at hand.... example: LeslieDesigner's comment about my use of the word retard is asinine, because this is a conversation about music, not political correctness

  • If the point of this cover was to see if they could rape a good song, then they succeeded.

  • awesome. MTE.

  • If you compare there version of Use Somebody to KOLs version. It know where close. I mean i understand that all covers arent the same but you need to at least come close to sound like Kings of Leon and there not even close, and will never be.

  • don't be retarded and judge the song by the quality of this recording. they nailed it live. if you weren't there you can't judge

  • I dont understand why a terrible Nickleback band can even think that they will do a good job covering for KOL, that may be the worst cover for a song I have ever seen. Kings of Leon are a amazing band and shouldnt allow nickleback to take there songs and ruin it.

  • Kings of Leon>Dog Shit>NIckelback

  • why watch this video AND comment on something you hate? Hmmmm... you have a lot of time on your hands. Thanks for supporting Ryan though!

  • Nickelback you fucking suck!! Dont ruin a good song if you can't even play it right!! Every song you play sounds the same and is absolutely terrible!! Don't ever play kings again!!

  • Go to hell. Really.

  • i was watching a video of Kings of Leon playing this song when I saw a comment about Nickelback covering it, but I assumed it was a joke... But sadly, it obviously wasn't. They should go back to singing "Something In Your Mouth" and leave the good music to the good artists.

  • Dude I did the same exact same thing! the Brit Awards one?

    Nickelback blows

  • me too! :D KOL Rock!

  • If Nickelback blows why do you watch their videos on youtube? HMMMM....

  • Well if you woulda read my whole comment you woulda realized that I in fact gt to this video off a link from a video of a great band called Kings Of Leon. You mighta heard of em.

  • What I'm saying is that you would even put up a few mins to watch a band you don't like. Lame lame lame

  • Oh believe me i sure didn't waste a few minutes with this lame lame lame band bud don't you worry

  • hahaha, that's how I saw this too. I was watching KOL's performance at the Brit awards. crazy

  • good music ? how come nickelback has sold 26 million albums ? not including dark horse.

  • ok listen to this...then listen to the REAL use somebody by kings of leon. this sucks!

  • I went to see these last night! They were brilliant! :)

    I want to see them again!

  • man he is really flat

  • Nah, its really bad quality from where I'm sitting. I should've brought my better cam.

  • i saw them last night,,, they did this again,, was awesome!

  • yeah, i was there too :)

    TIMMYYY!!!!!!!

    lol

  • cant wait to see the tomora =D

  • an okay song made brilliant by nickelback. they are awesome.

  • aw man saw then in glasgow last night.he sounded better than this last night i think.

  • everyone talking shit about kings and backing nickleback are retarded. hahaha. these people obviously havnt heard anything from the 3 cd's before this one thats out right now. If they did they'd be fans. their lyrics actually have meaning to them if you take the time to listen to them. but you nickleback fans wouldnt know what im talking about.

  • They are both great bands. Nickelback is obviously a FAN of KOL if they chose this song as a part of their tour. RESPECT.

  • if you dont like Nickelback, dont listen to them then.

    really doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

  • what the fuck do you listen to then you gay cunt

  • Wow, chill.

  • i can say it because its my opinion kings of leon have a couple of big hit songs wooow.

  • I'm laughing so hard at the fact that someone can seriously have a name like SuperNickelback, and laughing even harder at the fact that someone is a legit fan of them.

  • wow your cool arent you, commenting on someones Username, im laughing at the fact that you made a stupid fucking comment!!!! LMFAO

  • lol

  • Offically something worse than Kings of Leon

    ./let the hating commence

  • the purpose of a cover is to make it your own, not exactly the same as the original artist. i think they did a good job making it their own.

  • yeh, we all hate you, so fuck off

  • Well, as i expected, they completely murdered it.

  • nickelback are ten times better than kings of leon!!!

  • How in the hell can you say that????

    Nickelback disgraced this song.

    No one could screw this up more than they did.

    Sanjaya could sing this better than him. Jeez.

  • wow, ryan did a badass job!!!!

  • Peake rocks!

  • is shawn of seether from canada also?

  • No, he's from South Africa.

  • I almost had a heart attack when they did this in Houston. Ryan Peake is amazing and Nickelback is FANTASTIC live.

  • Not Bad. But Kings of Leon is better

  • I was RIGHT INFRONT for this!!!!! Not even kidding! They are my FAVORITE BAND EVERR!!! And Ryan is amazingly handsome!!!

  • Damn that guy can sing!! Love ryan, he's awesome. Cant wait till I meet them soon! Oh what am I going to say?? Well they are amazing live!

  • 21 days until I go see them xD

    Cant friggin waitt!

    Btw; Ryan did a better version of this then Kol do xD

  • NO NO NO NO. KoL is 100000000 times better than them.

  • nope, Ryan hits the notes prefectly & kol have annoying voice.

  • agreed

  • you were so close

  • i live in ontario watched them in ontario and drove all the way to vancouver to watch them and was quite impressed with the way the performed no two shows are alike

  • OMDZ! thtz amazin!!

  • I thought Ryan rocked this song this past Wednesday night in Jacksonville. Loved it, even with the sound system crashing for about 5 minutes prior. Chad blamed the outage on "too much rock for one building." \m/

  • nickleback need to bag up there fake grunge shit and leave the stage for good!!damn i mean KOL are what fuckin talent is!!! and at the moment they have it goin on and there live shows awesome!!nickleback can suck my ass!!!

  • Amen!

  • Agreed.

  • Oh god...Nickelback needs to quit making music and please don't ever ever ever cover KOL again. they are in another stratosphere when it comes to talent...and this is a really shitty cover, exactly what Nickelback covering anyone sounds like; SHIT!

  • What are you on about? If you dont like Nickelback, dont broadcast it. But you know, there only one of the biggest bands in the world at the moment. Best band ive ever seen live

  • Well then i doubt you have seen many bands live. If I want to tell people that i think Nickelback sucks then I will use my gift of free speech to do so. Their lyrics have no depth, their songs are chord progressions are unoriginal, and they have regressed musically since their first album. Oh and Vanilla Ice was one of the biggest artists in the world once so throw that argument out the window

  • I have seen hundreds of bands live. Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac, Megadeth and Def Leppard to name a few. Nickelback are up there with those guys in terms of showmanship and enjoyability. There great fun. I dont know how you can say they have musically decreased since their first album. All The Right Reasons spawned 7 huge singles!!! Im just saying that if you purposefully go on to a Nickelback video and start making comments like the above, you're going to get flack

  • If you have seen those bands live. You would have laughed your way out of the nickelback concert

  • Not at all. Nickelback are fantastic, great band both in the studio and out on stage

  • Bingo.

  • OMG KOL like totally hate them !!! they said that Nickelback sucked !!! what a bunch of posers
