Kroeger: No quotas, no Nickelback
Nickelback bassist Mike Kroeger says the only reason Nickelback made it big is because Canadian radio stations are required by law to play home-grown talent. And he believes it's a practice which should be encouraged.
On the back of British and Scottish discussions about introducing radio quota laws, Rock DJ Tom Russell has spoken to Kroeger about his impressions of the concept. And the star is firmly in favour.
He says: "We wouldn't have had a chance if we'd been thrown in with no help whatsoever. Radio stations here wouldn't play Canadian material if they didn't have to.
"France does the same thing - protects its local talent. By doing that you give it a chance to compete on the world stage.
"I think it's a really good thing to do. I think there is talent which can stand on its own - but it needs help to get started."
Listen to the interview in which Kroeger - who gave the band its name after remembering the line he used to use when giving Starbucks customers their change - discusses the band's current tour, although he refuses to give details of the stage show, simply promising a "big, big rock show". He also talks about tracking down and working with producer Mutt Lange, and the band's songwriting procedure.

What Recession? Nickelback Still On Track

2:22am UK, Saturday May 23, 2009

Elizabeth Scott, Sky News Online
For a band who have sold millions of records over the last decade, Nickelback have not let fame go to their head.
Unlike many stars of the music world, the Canadian rock group are unassuming and don't get hounded by the press.
In fact, it came as a bit of surprise when Chad Kroeger was spotted by some photographers while out in London.
"There was like two paparazzi at the restaurant we were at," he explained when I met the band.
"I'm like, slow night fellas if you're following me around," he laughed, adding that he "enjoys" the lack of press attention.
So does his brother Mike Kroeger, who is the band's bassist.
He had commented to me that many celebrities he knew were actually very "insecure" so get upset when not recognised or photographed.
Nickelback are also not keen on the rise of social networking sites like Twitter.
"I don't think I want our fans knowing what we're doing from moment to moment," said Chad.
Guitarist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake was in agreement: "To me I don't like people knowing everything about us. There's got to be some kind of a mystery left."
It was Nickelback's third album Silver Side Up and their hit single How You Remind Me which propelled them into the music spotlight in 2001.
They are now on to their sixth album Dark Horse - which they worked on with producer Mutt Lange - the man behind classic rock collections like AC/DC's Back In Black.
The band have kicked off their six-date UK tour, with the promise of a big scale production with "more explosions and more fire".
So, they clearly have not felt the effects of the recession then, I ask.
"I think the entertainment is the escape at this point. It hasn't been known to suffer a lot in these odd times. So it's been good," said Peake.
"We'll be everybody's break from the news of the day."
But Nickelback are keen to share their wealth around, and have pledged to donate some of the proceeds from their summer tour to charity.
"We're going to allot some money from ticket sales to go to charities," explained Peake. "It's kind of nice to give something back."
Organisations which are likely to benefit from their generosity include ICA Canada and Amnesty who they have donated to in the past.

Their new single If Today Was Your Last is out on June 15.

Да уж)) Но все равно была бы я на их месте, мне бы тоже не хотелось, чтобы обо мне все знали. Я вот о никелятах тоже не хочу прямо все на свете знать. Уверена, есть такое, что уж лучше и не знать)))

А вот тут я не совсем поняла. Что имеется ввиду? Диск отдельный?

Да, синглы выпускаются отдельно дисками, обычно песня сама + другая версия, если есть, + концертные версии других их песен.

http://www.mediafire.com/?jojgumoyyjk - вот это интервью

Да, я где-то выкладывала обложку голубенькую такую с месяц назад.Имеется ввиду,что для разных стран и континентов-разные синглы.

Кто б сомневался)))Это они кокетничают)))

У многих есть свои странички,выкладывают подкасты...К сожалению,это его право...

Scotland (Glasgow), May 23, 2009 Review

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/ … index.html

Sound: Chad Kroeger really blew away the SECC on Saturday night. Not just his vocal power that he displayed, but the charisma he showed onstage was phenomenal. The sound of Ryan Peakes' Acoustic guitar on 'Saving Me' was a warm sound that really blasted it's way through the arena, it really had a nice tone to it. They really performed their music to album-standard and a bit more. // 9

Perfomance: The audience were really involved with the show. From the very front with the fans getting squashed, jumping around, right to the very back where many old women were even getting into the swing of things. They really know how to get an audience going and the people of Glasgow responded well, cheering at every word.

They played almost a complete two-hour set so here's the consensus on a few of their songs.

01.Something In Your Mouth: a great opener, really edgy and got the crowd going.
02.Next Go Round: drums were a bit overpowered in this, but otherwise a good performance.
03.Gotta Be Somebody: one of their less hard-rocking songs. The drummer sang backing vocals along with the guitarist but didn't add much for me.

They also sang some of their classics:

04.How You Remind Me: best performed song of the night. This really got the crowd going as Nickelback's most successful song.
05.Photograph: nothing memorable about this song, but good banter from Chad Kroeger beforehand, and a good slideshow in the background got some cheers when Scottish-related pictures came on the screen.

The most memorable moment of the show had to be the T-shirt Cannons. After not being able to reach the very back on their previous tour, they upgraded and the crew came on and fired free shirts into the crowd (even though they only went to the back) whilst the band played a hard-rock instrumental in the background. Daniel Adair's drum solo was also memorable as a very impressive display. Whilst his podium elevated him higher and turned him he showed a wide range of playing styles and to finish the solo off sparks flew from behind him.

The pyrotechnics through the whole show were fantastic. As the band came on about 15 minutes after the support left the stage, three big bangs singalled the start of the show and from there we saw fireworks, fire, steam, sparks, the lot. // 9

Impression: The gig was held at the SECC in Glasgow, Scotland on the 23rd of May 2009. The support for Nickelback were Blackstone Cherry who provided a good heavy opening, although some of their songs were similar. Their lead-guitarist was very good though. I really liked how Nickelback were very involved with the fans, however, the South Park reference for their touring guitarists, Timmy, was lost on most. They had plenty of instrumentals, but all just heavy chords etc. I would have liked to see an improvised guitar solo. The face value of the ticket was £33.50, which it was very much worth. I will definitely go to their next gig, if I can get another ticket. Overall, a great show, especially when they recognised Scotland as AC/DC's true home with a performance of "Highway To Hell" and their version of Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody" which Ryan Peakes provided the vocals for.
