  • eww

  • Wow... some people obviously havn't realised that this is recorded on a shitty camera at a live show... I was there in person and I like their version better. Although the one I seen was better than this one I will admit. Just putting this out there... if Nickelback sucked as much as you all think... why are they so popular?

    Oh and @maltzlovincreampies you can't "glimpse" a song on the radio...

  • Good thing I have listened to the KOL version enough that I can play it in my head and drown out this disgusting attempt at a cover by a disgusting attempt at a band.

  • Nickelfag just be trollin.

  • I'm sorry but, WHAT THE FUCK!

    i love all of Nickelback's other stuff, and i find it great, but this..... kinda killed it for them, i am still a fan of their own stuff.

    i just think that they shouldnt cover bands that aren't even really in the same genre of music.

  • they should make a Studio version of this... they f'n rules !!!

  • they suck..more than any other thing in the entire universe.

  • a shitty band covers a shitty song. NOBODY WINS

  • ill admit nickelback is a decent band but not in this cover they used wat ro much distortion this is suposed to be a more mellow song and there just trying to apeal to a heaveier audiance they started out heavy then they went soft whats next nickelback? rap

  • thanks a lot i like his butt!!!!

  • Nickelback maybe the the shittiest rock group to come out ever, god i fucking hate them. I am truely infuriated when my ipod dies and i have to here a mere glimpse of one of thier fucking terrible songs on the radio. I think i would rather listen to the sounds of my family being tortured than listen to one of thier albums from start to finish. Nickelback is soo shitty that it almost cancels out the fact that neil young came from canada to.

  • all you guys chirping nickelback are a bunch of washed up fuckin losers....these guys are one of the worlds biggest bands and are very successful. Why dont you go look in the mirror and see what your worth oh let me see FUCK ALLL eat a dick haters

    NB ROCKS!

  • He's a much better singer than Chad is. I'd rather he sung or formed his own band.

  • boooooooo nickelback! quit forcing crappy music on us

  • Crap.. that was just crap.. I've hear at least five coverings of this song, yet this is definately the worst!! Paramore's cover wasn't too bad actually..

  • This is all kinds of terrible!

  • CONGRATULATIONS NICLEBACK... YOU SUCK.

    Please never attempt a cover on the grammy winner for record of the year... actually stick to your own crappy music and leave the good stuff such as Kings of Leon to the talented musicians

  • And they did it again...

    They ruined a good song.

  • Love this!

    More people have watched Nickelback's live cover of this song than have been to a KOL concert.

  • @CheekySuper lmao true

  • @CheekySuper I know, that's a really sad disturbing fact that so many people like this crap.

  • I don't like Nickleback (and I DO like Kings of Leon) but they are more talented than anyone posting in this clip...and more successful might I add...sooooo, keep talking shit while they keep making millions and get to have a pretty awesome "day job". Fuckers, I hate them :)

  • the kings deserve an apology...

  • why do nickelback have to ruin everything I love!!!???

  • this guitar playe has taken way to many singing lessons from chad kroegar. sounds like he's crapping himself

  • pardon me but dying career?? I guess having the top selling album of the decade and selling out stadiums around the world is considered a dying career. This may not be their best cover but they started out as a cover band and they have fun on stage. What's so wrong about having fun at work?

  • good cover everyone check out paramores cover off this sing =) x

  • This is the stupidest thing i have ever seen...this song isn't fast or anywhere near it...nickelback ruined this....kings of leon are about 300 times better...honestly this is just completely wrong...WHY?!?!

  • Oh my, this is just wrong on so many levels, say no more.....

  • I went to see em live this year. last live tour. was in sheffield n they were better then kings of leon

  • okay. i must have died and gone to hell.

    this is the worst piece of.. i dont even have a word to describe it... cruel and unusual punishment comes to mind however. Nickleback ruin your own songs, dont drag the kings down to ur generic sucky level

  • Agreed...if they have achieved anything in their however many years, its the creation of a new torture method. I think it's pretty obvious that Nickelback have reduced themselves to making sucky covers in attempt to revive their dying career. Don't bring everyone down with you Chad.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes thank you for this comment !!!!!

  • This is disgusting.

  • hahahaa. he could actually make it big on his own. lol if only chad would give him a record deal. wait I forgot he already does. lol

  • FUCK!!! Caleb delivers this song way more better!!! KINGS OF LEON ROCKS!!

  • Count on Nickleback to ruin a great song! Please don't ever do that again.

  • i know nickelback suck

  • 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 :(

  • BBBBBAAAARRRRFFFFF. Nickleback sucks balls ruin your own songs....yuck yuck yuck....

  • yo fuck u bitch

  • Ahhh....Gotta Love YouTube fights....

  • Indeed PrettiVegas you do.

  • if you don't like nickleback, why are you watching the videos?

  • maybe it was under related videos for kings of leon and they wanted to see a different version which one would find to be butchered. just look at schumanngirls comment

  • shit,shit,shit KOL so much better

  • i wonder why people hate nickelback, chad kroeger writes AMAZING LYRICS, he's a true ROCKER!!!

  • High FIVE!

  • God I fucking hate Nickelback even more now.

  • same here.

  • then dont watch it / listen to it

  • Kings of leon must not hate nickelback too much they had to have given them permission to cover this song. as lame as it may be of them to do so. it isnt bad.

  • Wrong. You don't have to give permission to a band to allow them to cover a live song, if they put it on an album then it would be different.

  • Wow....

    I had to sit back in my chair, I was blown away by how terrible this is, they completely butchered it.

    SteelersFreak108 your so right.

    And Friends I agree, "Fuck you Nickelback"

  • Wow, who the hell covers a song off a current album of another band, when that band is touring to promote said album? Nickelback is so effing lame, embarassed they are from Alberta/Canada :(. What a bunch of losers.

  • dude honestly? come on now. kings of leon were probably giddy with joy when they found out nickelback wanted to cover their song. And cant argue with that because the band did have to sign off before nickelback did the cover. I mean they are the biggest rock group in the world. all it did is make KOLs song more known. Not to mention it was an amzing cover. heh

  • How is it an amazing cover? It sounds exactly like the KOL version except his voice ruins it. I don't understand how you can argue in favor of a band covering a CURRENT single, it's just so cheesy. You also do not need permission to cover songs live.

  • actually ya they did need to sign off because that song is property of KOL's label. and I dont think it sounds all that similar. Nickelback uses more distortion and Daniel Adair uses muuuch different beats and fills and personally i love the rock tone that Ryan Peake brings with the vocals but that is just the kinda stuff i like. And I dont really understand what is so cheesy about it, they decided to do the song because Nickelback really likes KOL and wanted to cover a song as a tribute

  • handrix covered "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" the day after the album was released. . . . .

  • this is the best vid floating around , thanks for uploading

  • hey... fuck u nickleback.

  • you can fuck yourself for a change.

  • The irony is Kings Of Leon HATE Nickelback

  • why?

  • probably because Nickelback is generic shit?

  • if you dont like them why you ####### listen them?? 0.o

  • The typical response when someone has no comeback for something someone said about their favorite band. Good one.

  • no i believe this is the best answer.. if they wasn't good why did they sold over 30 millions album ??? so shut up and don't listen them again 0.o

  • HIGH FIVE : D

  • it's not bad. Doesn't do it justice though. Caleb just has the better vocals.

  • You have got to be kidding me...Kings of Leon are hands down the best rock band going. No one is even close, not even a LITTLE!

  • i was there lol, best fucking time ever!!

  • I'm getting goosebumps lol!

    Love Nickelback and this song =D

    Saw them last night, their amazing, thanks for uploading :)

  • you have to be kidding me

  • HIGH FIVE!

  • these are long comments

  • thanx for the laughs suesbob but i'm over this thread now.

    since you're canadian i recommend you listen to a real band such as "arcade fire" - they're from montreal and sound sublime.

    the reason y we love to hate nickelback is because they are one of many bands that imitate every other rock band from the 90s by adding nothing original.

    they regress music, when they should be bringing it forward. and that's not good for anybody.

    and have you ever listened to the lyrics of rock star? *cringe*

  • Comment removed

  • This is seriously funny & woah ma'am calm the hell down we dont want you to have a heart attack or anything, this sort of anger cant be good for u in your old age & all. Look at u gettin all fiery and angry... is this ur attempt at tryna come on2 me.. seein as ur bringin me into every comment.. i'm flattered really, but i like men..u on the other hand i'm not so sure.. u seem 2 be in2 chad and he well.. who knows could pass off as a chick. I dont have much else to say, other than get a life

  • Perhaps you should go back and actually read what I wrote. I think you'll find that I never mentioned anything about any band being better than you. What I said was don't go thinking you're any better than anyone else commenting on here because your comments are just as bad. Secondly of course I've heard of "dimbat" I just appreciate the English language too much to insult in that manner.

    And stop bringing this Gaab chick into everything - seriously let it go.

  • hahaha

    nice one man

  • "suesbob" (btw i'm still confused whether ur male or female ... u seem confused urself, judging by ur name) u caught me.. the reason why i come on here all the time is because deep down, i luv nickleback &all this talk of anal sex IS

    turning me on... yes that MUST be it..sheez ur a smart one arnt u!actually i just enjoy how much better and wittier my comebacks are than yours.. anywho, do us a favour&climb into ur canadian hole& burry urself inside, while ur at it

    get ryan and chad to jump in 2

  • Comment removed

  • me... a numb shit?? do u mean dumb? i think ur confusing ur words around "suesbob" and if u are reffering 2 me as being dumb.. who was the one who thought all of australia was settled by convicts.. keep digging that hole for urself.. and u tell me to get a life.. dude ur probably like sum 30 yr old who has nothing better 2 do than look up shit ass bands.. either that or ur having sum midlife crisis.. which would explain ur taste in music.

  • Wow that's real mature, harassing someone who is younger than you. But then it must be hard to accept she has a higher level of intellect and wit than you. Here you are saying these people have no life, well perhaps you should read through the last 6 pages. As I recall, you seem to have left nearly half the comments on this clip (which, may I add, is unbelievably bad). Hypocritical, would you not say?

  • Comment removed

  • dingbats... yo spinster... is that the serious best you can do? come on! I may be half your age, highly more intellegent, and probally increasingly better looking than u.. but come on... and dude u left like 6 pages of comments, its a little hard to ignore when i get replies sent back to me ... i think someones just a tad sad they cant muster up enough brain power to come back with a decent reply. As for those other people i have no idea who they are.. although they seem to be fair awesome..

  • There's no need to get all smart arse. I use words i actually know the meaning of - if they happen to be of a higher standard than "dimbat" then so be it. And there's no need to get so worked up I was simply defending someone who is being targeted unfairly. If you like Nickelback go right ahead and listen to them but do not go thinking that you are better than anyone else here because your comments prove otherwise. If you really are older than the rest of us then act your age and set the example

  • the other day my 13 year old cousin sends me a link saying "check this out.. i'm sure this will give you a laugh" and to my suprise i open it and am greeted with this shit hole of a clip... yet again.. but not 2 my suprise, i see that many more people have commented on this lame ass attempt to cover a great song. My 13 year old cuz seems to have more sense than most people on here *cough suesbob, cough* as for the anal sex comments ... *hi-5*

    i'm sure chad would make a fine prison yard bitch!

  • wtf is this shit...seriously.

  • I think Ryan did a great job on this song. Not long until the UK shows, cannot wait to hear him sing this live.

  • bitch, make my dinner.

  • Comment removed

  • chad probably told ryan that if he sings the song that he can give him an anal probe after the show.

    you know it makes sense.

  • cmon suesbob, as if a 26yo could come up with this gem:

    "suesbob and chad, sitting in a tree,

    P-R-O-B-I-N-G"

    zomg!!!!!!!!

  • *hi-5*

  • congratualations, you just broke the internetz with that comment,

  • Comment removed

  • FAIL!

    This cover is "haha" funny.

  • ummmm, no. you should never try to cover KOL without knowing what you're doing. plus the drummer missed the transition out of the bridge. just sad i'd say.

  • what a bunch of shitheads

  • no offense....but this was not a good cover.....maybe it would be better if they did it in a studio with a good producer...

    i can honestly say that even 'I' can cover the song better.....lol jk

    but seriously........nickelback was too ambitious with this cover

  • "Bands cover Nickelback all the time, wo whats wrong with them covering a few songs."

    Nothing, they just couldn't do this song and absolutely killed it.

    I actually really like Nickelback, always have. But this was terrible.

  • Bands cover Nickelback all the time, wo whats wrong with them covering a few songs. Ryan Peake isnt in the spot light as much as Chad and deserves some fun of his own and hes a bloody good singer and works hard for his money! He hasnt killed the song and the crowd loved it and so do alot of people! Give him a break! Hes an awesome singer and back up singer!!

    If anything the song was Dead with KOL and NB have brought it to Life!!

    (Y) Well done Ryan and NB!!!

  • Ew.

    Are you kidding me Nickelback?

  • is this from the dark horse tour??

  • Yup!!!

  • ahhh now i know why u digg nickelback... ur canadian!! it all makes sense now.

  • So I guess that means you are in jail then right you are Australian!!!

  • Comment removed

  • actually the likelyhood is enourmously high! i AM from one of the states that wasn't settled by convicts "suesbob", which i hope seriously isnt your real name cus, if that's the case i pity you. Anywhose i thought i'd let ya know, just sharing the love.

  • Nope not my real name just used it because every other freaking one was gone. So I don't need your pity....although you have mine. You must not have much of a life if you keep coming on to youtude to look up bands you hate. Kisses

  • the dudes in nickelback probably wish they were in jail so they can fuck each others arse all day.

  • no i don't. it's not my thing. but you sound like you would be interested. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • well if you actually picked up a history book and looked inside, you would see that NOT all of australia was settled by convicts. SO i suggest you do that...you may learn something =)

  • Oh sunshine...I knew that but what is the likelyhood that your not from the convict phase!!! Sweetie pie

  • Its a cell phone. what did u expect? perfesional? I saw them in Philly. This was really good. Peake sang it. He was really good. He does all back up vocals in all the songs 2

  • this is horrible

  • Hey guys, not sure you actually watched this, but Chad is not singing it. It's some other dude in the band. I'm not a big Nickelback fan, like Kings of Leon, and this was a serviceable cover. Nothing mind-blowing, but not terrible

  • its the back up singer of the band and guitarist Ryan Peake, he did a good job!

  • The worst band in the world covering the best band in the world.

  • Woow, Nickelback officially killed the song.

    It sounds like a dying cat.

    The only band that can pull this song off is the Kings, seriously.

  • This is shit.

  • you can't top kings of leon.

    the singer has a one of a kind voice.

    deffinatly lost all interest in nickleback now

  • Not Bad

    i like it

  • Why would Nickelback even attempt to cover a KOL song????? I would rather hear the Backstreet Boys attempt this.....they just completely shit on a good song....sorry!

  • It's awesome that they did a cover of such a great song, but unfortunately I think they shoulda let Chad sing it coz Ryan isn't that good at singing to be honest. =S

  • Nickleback is watered down BS. This is proof. If you want to hear the song, watch KOL do it.

  • i bet the kings think this is hilarious......just guessing

  • NICKELBACK = BUNCH OF CUNTS.

  • fuck you nickleback

    wankers

  • christ, that is bad.

    how these guys continue to sell albums is truly a wonder to me...of course they're going to have 6 hits off of one album when every damn song sounds exactly the same.

    They have nowhere near the versatility nor unique talent KOL possess.

  • Comment removed

  • i think you should do some research before you go making comments because at this very point in time kings have 4 songs from the one album in the top 40!! and i do like nickleback but they did a fucking shit cover of one of kings best songs!!!

  • im not sure if ur reffering 2 my comment but kol have released 4 albums, aha shake heartbreak, because of the times, youth and young manhood and the latest only by the night (not in that order tho)

  • oh my god...what the hell is this piece of shit??

    how can anyone say this comes close 2 KOL??

    how dare nickelback even attempt to cover this song?

    they murder it..

    they dont even deserve points for attempting to cover this song.

    and to those ppl who think "ohh kol have only had one hit song"

    check out their 4 albums and then come back and see if they only

    have one effing hit song

    and in hearing this shit house attempt

    it only makes me hate nickelback even more:) soo meh

  • 5. Ryan did an okay verson of this song. Not the greatest but hey for not being the main singer not to bad. But hey at least he tried it. Thats the key to success get out there.

    6. I know someone will make a comment about this and thats okay. Free speech is still a right in most of the free world!!! But I have to say KOL timeless WTF????

  • HIGH FIVE!!!

  • 1. Don't let haters get to ya. They want a rise ignore them pisses them off more

    2. Remember that musics sets your soul free. If Nickelback is doing that for you great if not thats okay too!

    3. Nickelback sells millions of CD's and downloads plus sells out night after night. They don't need these hater anyway.

    4. These critics are just choke that these guys have made it when they really want to. Get off the guitarhero bust your ass and remember nothing ventured nothing gained.

  • Thank you for saying that. We can argue all day over who is better but when it comes down to it my main pet peeve is all these ppl that dont like Nickelback writing comments on here. You dont like it ok then dont listen..dont comment..Nickelback has quite a huge following. I just think that if you dont like it then dont watch it..FYI I have listen to previous KOL albums..I dont like it..as far as I am concerned the guy has a squeaky gross ass voice..but others might think different

  • I know. It just is so weird that they feel they have to watch and then comment because you just know deep down they they LOVE Nickelback but have been lead to believe that is wrong...sad they should get some therapy in my opinion;) Seriously though why they watch in the first place I just don't get either!

  • Yes, the reason I've commented on this clip is because, deep down, i harbour a secret admiration for Nickelback's bland monotones. What a pathetic theory. To those who say "why do you watch it if you hate them" - it's not like we waste time looking up stuff we don't like. Personally I was sent the link and after watching it, I simply left my opinion as you all have. Get over it. Now if you excuse me, apparently I have a therapy session to attend because I have good taste in music.

  • agreed.

    everyone has their right to their own opinion, even if theirs is wrong. However, the theory that we secretly like Nickleback is quite hilarious, i would rather sticks needles in my eyes and saw off my own ears then listen 2 one of their albums.

    buhh, i mean no disrespect to you nickleback fans, u digg that stuff, its s'all good

  • SO if you were sent a link and then you saw the word Nickelback in the title why did you still watch it. Again its fine to have an opinion on music but who say you have a good one!!!

  • Well, uh, Nickelback says so. Apparently Nickelback likes KOL, otherwise they wouldn't bother with one of their songs.

  • OH MY GOD

    YOU ACTUALLY LIKE NICKLEBACK

    FFS GET A LIFE AHAHA

    wow u obviously havent experienced any music

    geez seriosuly

    NICKLEBACK!?!?

    AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    whatta crack up

  • haah actually i do know good music ever seen a rating of nicklecrap? its towards the 0 mark and i came here because kings of leon were once great now they are getting covered by a shitty band which "Kroegers voice sounds more like a wounded goat than ever before" mayb u should go see the vid were he gets hit in the head by a rock HAHAHAHAH i have that as a favourite flag LOL i dont think i culd sleep at nite if i was chad - how can u make such shit music and be able to live.
  • Oh god, please do us all a favour and stop dragging this shit on. If you like Nickelback good for you, but stop banging on immaturely about how we all supposedly secretly love Nickelback. We don't - which is why we said so in the first place. End of story.

  • Honey thats why you came to a site called Nickelback covers Kings of Leon and sweetie you didn't have to answer me back if you didn't want too...talk about dragging it on!!!

  • ...because that's not hypocritical in the slightest.
