Nickelback Bio
By the summer of 2004, Nickelback had
been on tour around the globe for the better part of the previous 5
years, at that point supporting their third album, The Long Road (which
at the time had sold 5 million copies worldwide). The plan was to take
some time off to enjoy the fruits of their labor before even thinking
about new songs. But two weeks into their vacation Chad, Mike and Ryan
started feeling that old familiar urge, so they gathered in Chad's
studio near Vancouver to jam. “Once we got in there and started to mess
around, we just didn’t stop,” says Chad.
Since Nickelback used Kroeger’s studio and co-produced the album with
their friend Joey Moi, they were not in a fevered rush to finish up.
And, over the next seven months, they spent countless hours making sure
every song on their fourth album, All the Right Reasons, was exactly the
way they wanted it. The resulting 11 tracks are the most insistent,
dynamic and diverse Nickelback has conjured to date. The first single
“Photograph” is reflective and earnest, constructed on a foundation of
multi-layered vocals, infectious melodies and guitars that build to a
triumphant buzz. “Fight For All The Wrong Reasons” echoes with textural
guitars and evolves from a moody melody into a crunchy, southern-tinged
riff. And “Savin’ Me” is a call for redemption that’s driven by a
combination of ringing and fuzzy guitars, undeniable vocals, gliding
strings and delicate piano. “We were a little scared of using piano,”
admits Kroeger. “We just didn’t think it was very rock and roll. It
wasn’t until we heard piano in a Nickelback song that we all said, ‘Yes,
we like this and we want to do more of it.’ It just complimented the
part so well and really showed that we shouldn’t be narrow minded about
any instrument, no matter what it is or what sort of stigma might be
attached to it.”
Nickelback’s eagerness to experiment and evolve lights up All The Right
Reasons like a bonfire. While the band’s music has always been deeply
personal, this time not only have they laid it all bare but they also
searched every inch of their sonic spectrum to create an album that
appeals on many different levels. “On The Long Road we went in a heavier
direction, but with this album we really wanted to show our range and
have songs that work for all the diverse fans that go to Nickelback
shows and listen to our records,” Kroeger says, giving a window into the
impetus for his songwriting – making music for real music fans like him.
Nickelback’s all-inclusive approach has been a large part of the band’s
immense success. The Long Road went triple platinum in the U.S. and
included the radio hits “Someday,” “Figured You Out” and “Feelin' Way
Too Damn Good.” Their previous disc, 2001’s Silver Side Up, was even
more successful, selling over 6 million copies in the U.S. and
containing three number one hits, “Too Bad,” “Never Again” and their
mega-successful breakout single, "How You Remind Me," which was the
number one Most Played Song of 2002.
Joining Nickelback just in time to make All the Right Reasons was new
drummer, Daniel Adair. Adair’s hard-hitting yet multifaceted style
perfectly matched the band’s new material, from the foot-to-the-floor
stomp and grind of “Animals” to the “lump-in-throat sentiment of “If
Everyone Cared.” Adair jumped right in to the fold and his ‘audition’ in
Chad’s studio even made its way into the finished album. “We are totally
thrilled to have Daniel in the band,” Chad says. “The creativity that
went on with him in the studio was really inspiring. He’s a totally
amazing player.”
