Biography

Canadian rock band, Nickelback, consists of Chad Kroeger (lead singer/
vocals), Ryan Peake (guitarist), Mike Kroeger (bassist), and Ryan
Vikedal (drummer). Nickelback was formed in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada in 1996 by brothers Mike and Chad Kroeger. The two then
convinced their cousin, Brandon, to join the band (he is no longer a
member). Brandon’s friend, Ryan Peake also joined. Nickelback got their
name from Mike’s work at the Starbuck’s Coffee Co. Customers would
always purchase $1.45 coffee and give him $1.50. Thus, he was always
giving ‘nickel(s) back.’ Shortly after forming, Nickelback constructed a
seven song demo they called Hesher. They promoted the demo by playing
constantly at local, live gigs. In 1997, Nickelback released their debut
cd entitled Curb. In order to promote their cd, Nickelback was
constantly touring. Meanwhile, their music was getting enormous airtime
on Canadian airwaves. By 1999, the group was famous in Canada and quite
respected. They were also going very quickly through drummers. By late
1999, they settled with drummer Ryan Vikadel. In March 2000, Nickelback
released The State on their own independent label. Shortly after they
signed with Roadrunner Records. The two singles, “Breather” and “Leader
of Men” were top ten on mainstream rock charts. The single, “Old Enough”
was a top twenty. The group began touring in the U.S. By 2001,
Nickelback had a huge following of fanatics. They had also earned
credibility by touring with groups such as Silverchair, Creed, and
Everclear. They release, Silver Side Up in 2001. The single, “This is
how Your Remind Me” immediately went to the top of the charts.
Surprisingly, the song was written fairly quickly while the group was
practicing prior to going into the studio one afternoon. Nickelback
continues to tour extensively. They were featured on the Spiderman
soundtrack and are rumored to be singing on the Spiderman two soundtrack,
which is scheduled to be released in 2004.

Neither...well....ya, neither. I pick Aiden.You guys schould check them out, then maybe i wont be alone on their board.	PAPARoach0934
3 Doors Down would be first, and then right behind them I would say Nickelback... ;)	3DDWebMaster
I love them both but yea probably Nickleback	musicxisxmyxlover
i guess that i would have to say that I like 3 doors down better because i hv been listening to them for a longer time, but Nickelback is awesome as well.	lacunacoilfan15
Both bands are absolutely terrible. Both exemplify corporatized rock which will never become classic rock. Most modern rock acts are temporary sound bytes in music history and these two fit right into that category, along with poseur acts like Good Charlotte.	Malkmus101
Well..i dont like either of them.....but if i was stranded on an island with my cd player..and the only two cds i had was nickelback and 3 doors down......i would have to pick 3 doors down....cuz their more rock than nickelback...and i dont like nickelback at all! they remind me of country music....and i cant stand country music!	Britt123
Ok... Well I'd have to say Nickelback, but right behind then three doors down, they are both good at the songs they sing!!~!!	VampiressOfYourHeart
Besides, if you were stuck on a desert island and a cd player and had to chose, were would you get the powder from?	VampiressOfYourHeart
i say nickleback. i dont like 3 doors down	simpleplan_chick
Nickelback man, it goes without sayin	torn

They're both about as interesting and progressive as this blank piece of white paper in front of me.	SOADfreak
i love both of them! its way too hard to choose between them... and im not just saying that because i know the song 'photograph' by nickelback... or 'let me go' by 3 doors down... i own cd's of both...:) 2 of my favorite bands!	Lodie
...what the fuck?	XOidontlikeyouXO
I would pick 3 Doors Down.	Wrath_of_Jade
i dont like really like either but i go with 3 doors down because i hate the lead singer of nickelbacks voice	thefrothymonkey
