Nickelback is by far one of the crucial divisive bands of all time, Whereas they’ve reached industrial success, the Chad Kroeger fronted band has confronted a number of criticism over their profession.
Throughout a current interview with That Fuzzing Rock Present, Flotsam and Jetsam frontman Eric “A.Okay.” Knutson was requested if he thinks Nickelback “will get a nasty rap.”
“Sure and no.” Knutson replied. “From what I perceive — I actually don’t know any of the unique story of why folks hate them a lot, however they began off fairly heavy, did the good factor and went a little bit extra industrial as a result of that’s the place the rattling cash is.”
He continued, revealing that one of many causes he thinks the band has a number of haters has to do with their singer’s angle off of the stage.
“And from what I perceive, Chad Kroeger’s type of a monster to take care of for nearly anyone,” he defined. “And I feel it was the hate for him that began the entire ‘Nickelback’s horrible’ factor. However actually, when you hearken to their songs, they’re brilliantly written. They fill arenas for years and years and years now. So it’s actually a musician factor.”
Increasing on Kroger’s conduct, Knutson added:
“Musicians which have handled him, which have opened up for him or no matter, simply hate his guts. I don’t know why, however that’s what I’ve heard. And that’s the place the entire ‘when you’re a musician, it’s important to hate Nickelback’ factor got here from, I feel.”
