Animals (Live @ AOL sessions) - Nickelback

[TheSoulAlchemist22]

Screw how 'just mike sounds' or how 'just chad sounds'; they sound awesome together!

[502AT]

filmed with a potatoe... yet it is better than 99.9999999% of other youtube music vids :)

[Kagomechanbubble]

You know you have a great band when...

1) They sound even better live

2) The backing vocals are just as good as leading

3) They still sound great at 240p

[AlphaHumphrey]

INSANE!

[poppx3]

They sound like shit live o___o This was my favorite Nickleback song too since I was like 10 or 9 >.>

[Neigebonbon]

'As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing'...

[cgtkl]

0:11 i love this part of drum.

[DreamingODaisyChains]

I just love how talented they all are and how it sounds better than the actual album, yet they look so casual and nonchalant. I mean, jeans and t-shirts, man. Nothing fancy like pretty much every asshole with a record label and a hefty fan base. I love Nickelback. :D

[MsKTMvalley]

O_____________O

[Alixxandrya]

How can you not like this?? Who clicks the dislike button when it sounds almost EXACTLY the same as the recording? These guys are EXTREMELY talented!! :D

[skyskelton97]

Is Mike Kroeger playing with a pick in this?

[BosniaTutorial007]

@skyskelton97 jup

[thekillerese]

I just learned them.

[JB973]

23 faggots here !!

[thekillerese]

There some shit on this guitar sound effects I want to learn.

[punkspwn123]

love this song. not their best album but still epic(their older heavier stuff is better, js)

love nickelback

[DemonsxXxHeart]

@punkspwn123 I so agree with you, although there is some off the Dark Horse I like that are softer. If Today Was Your Last days has a lot of meaning in it. :)

[race45656]

awsome

i love this song

[race45656]

awsome



[Sibron10]

love this song!

[cthulhucometh]

to any1 that thinks Nickleback sucks, you wouldn't know REAL talent if it slapped you upside the head with a baseball bat!

[fizzychum]

@cthulhucometh really talented people wouldnt smack haters with a baseball bat they would pown them live with a smart remark in front of the cameras for tv.. :)

[OftaPoftaRofta]

@cthulhucometh <Yeah, they two good songs

[kayto97]

@cthulhucometh right

[Balllergirl14]

ryans a good ass singer

[Deathrockprincess]

NICKELBACK<33333333333

[Sebast1ano9]

Fucking Awesome

[emochick56651]

im sure Chad is an animal ;) xD lmao

Nickelback 4 ever ♥

[zombiedude25]

fucking glam poser shit rock

[FuzzStudioz]

@zombiedude25 ur faggot shut the fuck up

[joebonamassadustbowl]

@zombiedude25 seriously why would you watch one of nicklebacks videos to comment on how shit you think they are ,you obvously have no life you loser

[SuperMcAustin]

does chad use emg-x pickups or what are those?

[Va11eyboy]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THE SHIRT THAT CHAD KROEGER IS WEARING NEED TO FIND IT! PLEASE HELP

[RandomAdrian19]

@julio17523755 Biggest fail on a Thumbs down comment ever!!!!!

[Joekingdrums]

The drums sound like crap on this song dont know why!

[Americcan]

@Joekingdrums

Because you have dog shit in your mouth.

[Julio17523755]

21 Loser never drived faster before with a hot girl making porn stuff

[Spyderryder65]

OMFG that's a great song.

[Lewars11]

i'm cummiiing !!

[batistalover10]

The back-up singer, ryan should have some songs on the new record this coming year .

[pigbenis44455]

Two words ................... Bad Ass

[izzystradlin2222]

im lovin the sharing of the vocals

[Jonnylovesalesana]

@izzystradlin2222 They always do :)

[poinkero]

it still sounds like the record

[mlbwwetropicthunder]

@poinkero its cause their that good

[dannyboy472]

why are they playing it in a different tuning?

[vanir33]

@dannyboy472 most bands will take thier songs a half-step down because it puts less strain on the lead singers voice. They probably had somewhere to perform after this recording, so they drop all thier songs down. They do it live all the time

[skralbow]

@dannyboy472 The sound gets fatter, especially for D-shape chords. Also this allows easy and fast power-chords with one finger. (and less scraping noises when making chord changes)

[crimdell]

Nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth.

[WolvesBestFriend]

I love this song!

[freeeeeakx]

nickelback ist cooll.. ;)

[musicsmydestiny]

they're playin in another tonality. did you here that???

Sounds great though

[SanAntonio501]

@musicsmydestiny Drop C#, man.

This song is usually played at drop D.

For me sounds better like this one.

[vanir33]

@SanAntonio501 actually, try tuning to Drop D and then a half step down. I tried it ou of curiousity, and it worked. perfect tone and tuning. Given they change it for tours, depending on what they feel like playing, but its usually what i mentioned above

[Mr3DGCovers]

@vanir33 thats the same thing... C# is a half step down from D.

[chiefdavidOK]

posers

[fiatuno4040]

no solos in this band??? 

[thepartyofboys]

@fiatuno4040 yeah there is just listen to few more songs like nest contestant

[EricVierthaler92]

I'm a big fan of these guys! i like every song by nickelback.

[deathstrike626]

Dont really want this to happen but if nickelback went down i'd like to see ryan in his own band because i think he'd make a great lead and rythem

[UltimateDarkhorse]

@deathstrike626 heaven forbid dude

[Jorgenmeistr]

You guys know that you can`t compare this to playing live. Even though they are playing "live" it`s still in a studio. Im not saying that they play bad, but that it wouldn`t sound this good on a live concert.

[MrJwo123]

great song for all hard rockers

[em0keksi]

this is their best song :)

[mjtm77]

Horrible quality

[lolakmono]

i cant agree more with what rinaldo91 said. i was about to write almost the same thing that it has nothing to do with playing and singing but breathing.

[TheMansfield]

nickelback are awesome, this song is awesome... nuff sed

[Karensita16weird]

wow.. they r really good live.. one of the best band ever!! I love U Nickelback ..

Wow

[weezurblue]

they got sum kickass tone live.

[Drumminggodful]

lol 0:05 at danny adair :P

[drumguy6499]

Stay on Danial at the intro! It's his best part, none of that flashing over for 1/2 a second crap

[DamienThornes]

Nice power chords...

[ridehonda107]

people can make fun of nickleback all they want but they seem pretty talented. i don't really listen to their music, but watchin this live performance i can tell they have a fairly large amount of talent.

[HateClips]

pretty good live..never would of thought it

[ladistar]

i have to admit, the opening riff is actually pretty catchy, then it just dissolves into a rambling pile of shit.

[tktctktc]

this is the best song to drive really fast and crazy too

[TheNickelbackchad]

daniel adair the best...

[TheOmegalomaniac]

the old drummer wat too better....

[lttlejezzy]

If your comment was true then don't ya think he's still be in Nickelback??

Daniel is a very talented drummer not taking anything away from Nik as he was there at the beginning but Daniel has more about him he is amazing to watch the way he drums is out of this world.

[rohitchhiber]

i dont believe it , the shred is actually a better song than tthis..

[rohitchhiber]

i'll drink your pee on a fuckin hot day in the middle of a drought in the month of july !

[RamPageR92]

He IS good...definitely!

you got no idea.....

and thats the bottom line, because I say so!^^

[tiener44]

They're drummer is not good..... at all. Sorry.

[Adiaf8oros]

@tiener44 Yeah, you're right, he "sucks" at playing so dynamically and singing so good at teh same time! Now really, how did U come up with this opinion?

[fahadk1985]

hahaha i saw that vid... certainly a better song than this shit

[bradley55m]

why listen to them just to diss them?

[Rinaleightball1]

Nickelback is a joke... worst band ever assembled.

[gunsnrosesful]

no there not. fuck off

[MrHwoarang]

do better ¬¬, beyond, if you don't like them, why you watch this video?

[Rinaleightball1]

Just to see how shitty they are.

[MrHwoarang]

@Rinaleightball1 well, if in your freak mind you think them sux, you don't need this video. then, FAIL ANSWER

[wtficantgetanamewtf]

"I, I'm driving black on black

Just got my license back

I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track

I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride

Because the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me tonight

I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out

I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run

Your mom don't know that you were missing

She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing"

Oh dear god what shitty lyrics

[bellarusa1]

Oh dear god No you

[calebkate]

No it's Drop C#, they always play tht in Drop C# live. It's Drop D on their CD though.

[ninpo4life]

Yes, you're right. Just like Something In Your Mouth is. All of their albums from The Long Road up till Dark Horse have the first song in drop D. They also always use those songs as their opening acts. Like on the Long Road tour it was Flat on the Floor, All the Right Reasons it was Animals, etc.

[MrThroll]

Animals isn't the opening track on All the Right Reasons :)

[ninpo4life]

My mistake. I meant that in their shows, they always open with a song in Drop D. But now that I think of it, isn't Follow You Home also in Drop D? So... in a way I was right even though I was wrong. LOL

[Rex066y]

its droped c not c# theres C# and droped C (in common tunings)

[bendandvibe]

it might just be me but does this sound like it in drop c ???

[SonicFan2k90]

I know the lyircs this, never again and too bad of by heart.

[nickelback2200]

daniel looks like hes havin a blast

[D91ftw]

go to 0:08 LOL!!!!!! xD

[RVDFAN364]

u need better quiality

[axmano19]

this song is so much fun to play on the drums

[deronmillercky2]

this should be called "Live @ LOL Sessions"....

[Metalunited101]

Type Nickelback shreds everybody!!!! It will totally make you guys laugh!!!! This band sucks by the way!

[peterblondje]

nickelback is the best of all

great song

[ILuvNickelback09]

I SO LOVE NICKELBACK!!!! (L) - (L)

[OlleRK92]

This was the second time they performed this song live....what can i say...nice!

[jeppioe]

Dude, fuck those rappers... I like the dubble bass in this song man!

[ranelproductions]

He sounds like Kanye West with autotune.

[jrs89]

The shreds version of this song is way better.

[SkynetTs]

if you want to know why chad can't sing lead in some parts, try play the guitar while singing this song you'll understand ... of course in the studio he plays the guitar first and sing later

[dxdz]

nope

[MrNightgale]

True. So freakin' true.

[sam5951106]

i'm not sure it's that as much as the fact he's singing non-stop for 3 mins and he needs a break, because this song is fairly simple to play on guitar

[SkynetTs]

it's really simple, i can learn the whole song for just 4 minutes by ear :D , but sing and play at the same time is very different :)

[sam5951106]

i know it's different i have to sing when i play this song but i can only manage the chorus without a longer pause than is in the song. But then i'm a 14yr old asthmatic who has the lung capacity of a 2yr old

[digydigdogdead]

@SkynetTs yeah but also try doin this whole song without takin a breath

[Rinaldo91]

@SkynetTs

The fact that he can't sing lead in some parts has nothing to do with playing the guitar and singing at the same time. you should try to sing along and then you will find out he's out of breath... it's just a pause for him to get his breath.

[pl00xowner]

@SkynetTs i know its soooo hard to play guitar while singing i know first hand!

[ninpo4life]

@SkynetTs I know! Great point. I'm not a too big a fan of the lyrics of this song LOL, but I tried to just quietly sing the vocal part an octave lower (just taking it easy instead of projecting to get that high octave) while playing the guitar part, and good LORD this is a difficult song. The rhythm of the guitar strumming is nothing like the vocal part, so it's insanely hard to play and sing at the same time.

[zeffia87]

@SkynetTs Hard to do all in one breath. Sing the song yourself and see if you can doit without losing your breath.

[zackattack94]

@SkynetTs thats not an excuse james hetfield from metallica sang lead for every song and metallica is much faster than nickelback

[SkynetTs]

@zackattack94 : i know metallica is much faster than nickelback, but their songs don't need long breath that's the difference, their problems are because of their fast speed song james's voice get tired after 8-9 songs and can't hit some high notes of the song, anyway, james is still a monster on stage \m/ \m/

[23Billy33]

@zackattack94 James Hetfield Is also 46 years old and has been playin guitar for about 35 years. And hes 10 times better than Chad. :)

[DavidOrtiz36]

@23Billy33 this... is true.. cept his voice has gone away with age... Chads will with time, but its not that time yet.

ROCK ON NICKELBACK and METALLICA

[SSAAMMUUEELLHH112233]

@SkynetTs

Its because It's a fast song and he can't keep up but fair play to him I love him He is my favourite Lead singer in any band!!!

[LeaderOfTomorrow]

@SkynetTs agreed, this guitarrythm and singingrythm is really hard to do the both!

[shentosho]

@SkynetTs It IS tough, and what I did was on rockband! And that's nothing!

[blues3531]

@SkynetTs good musicians can do that...and with actual riffs and stuff not just power chords like chad's playing. why don't you have a look at this video watch?v=UM8BL8ZpNvc from about 1:20 on.

[MoarOfTehRawkege]

@SkynetTs So naturally the other guy playing guitar will sing lead, while Kroeger, who hadn't been having trouble previously, takes a break that obviously doesn't matter? No. It's probably just to mix things up. Add a different voice to make it interesting.

[lavalamp360]

@SkynetTs it's because there are so many lines to sing on one breath with moving you pitch up and down that Chad nneds to take a quick breath to keep it going and thats way Ryans takes over that one line, so Chad can take a breath

[Pokenob]

@SkynetTs

that's not the problem for him ;)

he just would need 3-4 lungs to breathe :D

[Blazex44]

its a good thing that ryan is back up singin cuz chad has trouble singin that whole song he needs a couple secs to re catch his breath lol u can tell around the last chorus

[Loyce1995]

You know I want to see You stand there and do this song without needing to breath.

[betinhopiercing]

sonzera!

[sportskid327]

LOL 0:8

[Super0Sam456]

AMAZING, best song ever...and played perfectly, chad ad ryan, ar amazing at guitars AND singing :)

[mikedawop636]

haha autotune.....just cuz they sound good doesnt mean they are using autotune. Kanye west uses autotune.....not nickelback

[willmason7]

whats auto tune?

[wallyrob2364]

Try Singing The Whole Song, You'll Get Why They Need Ryan ;D

I LOVE NICKELBACK <3

The Lyrics for this song are SO COOL!

[Im0H00ker]

he is singing lead parts at times because, 1) they are a band - they are a team. they do what they must to get the best sound. 2) chad needs to protect his voice. cant push it too far.

[nicholasczapiewski]

why is the backup singer singing lead in some parts?

[Jamesmcveymusic]

I'm guessing it's because its mighty hard to have the breath to do the whole line... well for most people but he's actually stupidly good at breathing so I have no idea... haha nah it sounds nice with two voices... I guess?

[AffectionateAlex]

at least he sounds a lot like Chad. lol (:

[2k7kitch2k7]

yeah it would be funny tho if he sounded lyk a girl

[waxdoll57]

Simply amazing !!!!!!!!!

[lindavorse]

i love this song its amazing sonuds like me and my bf

[pelaoautentiko1]

la mejor cancion la mejor de todo el mundo la mejor sin dudas best

[airguitarist51]

explain why he's an asshole

[natalieNRH]

i know he's really cute too

[TheGutiargod]

the flyin v is awsome

[MichaelCarling9]

i seen them live and the backup singer ryan peake is a really good singer

[DizzleMcNizzle]

Autotune is awesome, isn't it?!

[drumbum1309]

that backup singers just as good as chad

[jonny4444]

he has a good voice but doesnt have the same strength as chad.

[PierRat93]

amazing song

[olivaadj]

amazeing band sound great live

[murray11999933]

tbh i dont think there the best band all put together but all amazing musicians and the drummer ! whoa love the drumming !

[erikjann22]

Like it, but nothing special

[BelliCorpse]

I think they have managed the bass very well.They have many scenes in this song, that kicks ass just because of the drummer. The lyrics are bad, 'cause they are mostly pointless. That's the only special thing in/on this band. :)

[BelliCorpse]

You put my words outta my mouth :)

[chadkroeger4ever]

Nickelback ROCKS!!!!

Chad...the BEST!!!

[nenoula66]

i just cant get enough of them.

one of the best rock bands on earth ever!

nickelback<3

[Ryunn2]

his snare sounds like a bullet

[zakk96wylde]

really or is that just a way of saying its sounds good

[HeroesFreakxXx]

I love when he wiggles his eyebrows. He is so adorable lol. Love you Chad :)

[Sonicdude20]

Love this song, love this band, love this video
