I swear Chad Kroeger is the Kurt Cobain of Canada hahaha. This was the good hard rock Nickelback back in the 90's. This was more grunge rock when they first started. The reason Chad today changed his style of music and went more rock/pop today is to stay mainstream cause now today grunge rock, alternative and metal has died on mainstream. Its more underground now today. Chad wants to keep his fans and built more fans is the reason why his music now is corporate. Its about money to built fans.
@sdadsasadful Look for Curb. It included most (or all) of the songs from Hersher and some others. It was Nickelback's first full album. It is easier to find. I think it was only released in Canada, so if you're not from Canada, the best way would be to check Ebay or Amazon.
@sdadsasadful i used to have it for sale on ebay , but that was a few years ago. it did sell for $200. and i paid two bucks for it at a flea market lol
Rare find , have not seen this in years , next challenge to anybody is find the original leader of men video , I have only seen it maybe 2 times when they first released the single
@BBB4416 It won't be a huge challenge to find Leader of Men. I have the Nickelback music video dvd, and its on there, so you should be able to find it pretty easily
@TNA796 Is the original and not the one were there in a recording studio for part of the video
the first leader of men video is very low budget and just before they signed there record deal same with the original " the state " cd has a different cover to it as the original Curb cd ( i have both originals )
I have only seen it maybe 2 or 3 times and it was just after the single was released and my guess it was just in Canada because when they signed with roadrunner they re released the state cd and made a higher budget video for leader of men and started getting promoted in the states
either late 98 or early 99 cause the state cd I believe was released originally in late 98 or early 99, good luck with the search i have been looking for it for awhile i have a feeling it might be on of those videos that might not been seen again , if i rember right its a low budget video based on a house party or something
@a7xfan66611 Their first album is my favourite because it was grungey, but later they commercialized and I don't like that at all, if they stayed like this it would be cool.
No one's probably gonna read this, but I’ll say it anyway cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young designer and graffiti artist, I know there's a million out there but I feel like my art has a unique individual style.
If you just take a min and give me a chance I'll make you a believer. I would love nothing more than to have a loyal following on youtube. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. Just a simple button push will make a huge difference.
@FAilToTal 90's music was the worst? What the fuck? I don't think so. I think it was better after the 80's music - all this crap like Milli Vanilli or Whitesnake, Journey, Cindirella. Almost all 80's mainstream sucked (by the way, undeground 80's music was amazing in almost all ways), and in 90's there were some shitty bands like SIlverchair or STP, but cool too, like Foo FIghters, Nirvana, Mudhoney,TAD, Hole...and this song is really good. Better than Soundgarden copy from Hesher.More original
@Justeatmytoast ^This dude did it right. Except STP is awesome and Silverchair had one of the most underrated guitarists, especially for a fuckin 15 year old! The 90's SAVED music from hair metal hell lol!
@Revidescent84 What a crap. You have to feel the diffrence between grunge posers (Pearl Jam, Nickelback, STP, SIlverchair) and true grunge music (TAD, Mudhoney, early Nirvana, Soundgarden, Green River). To feel where's the line that makes this two types something diffrent. It's good he's underrated, because Silverchair was just a group of grungy posers playing some post-grunge shit with no true grunge spirit.
@Justeatmytoast Oh, I enjoy almost ANY grunge, purist, post-, or otherwise. I do draw the line on any of the 'grunge' produced after the '90s(Staind, Puddle of Mudd, Seether, etc) because it's horrible. I love me some Mother Love Bone as much as I do Candlebox or Seven Mary Three.
@Revidescent84 It would kinda suck to limit your palate to like 5 bands because they inspired a lot of people who are apparantly 'posers'. I mean, Chris Cornell made a shitty album with Timbaland! Kurt Cobain just ripped off the Pixies loud chorus-soft verse formula. So who's really gonna point fingers at 'posers'? It was originally an underground sound anyway to begin with, so technically any 'grunge' band who got played on MTV is a poser, right?
@Revidescent84 I hope you don't think I'm some troll starting shit, I just love a good music conversation with people with actual taste :) Basically, the real point was even though it's no less original than they are now, Nickleback was listenable at one point. Not stellar or particularly groundbreaking, but a helluva lot better than this party butt rock country crap now(You're Canadian, fuckers! lol) PS: Tad rocks, I happen to jam to "Inhaler" on my MP3 player constantly! :)
@Revidescent84 I don't accept that if someone's a teenager then his music is better than If he would be adult and play the same. If your music is awful then the age doesn't matter, it's awful, If you can't be TRUE rock'n'roll musician then you should play with your guys in garage and record some stuff only for your mom.
With Nickelback releasing both Hesher and Curb. But lets not forget about Load by Metallica, or Roots by Sepultura, and especially The Great Southern Trendkill by Pantera.
