:O There isn't a thread for this already?! Wow.
Nickelback is one of my all time favorite bands. Simply, love 'em!
I love the way they thought of their name!
Mike Kroeger worked at Starbucks at one point, and a coffee cost $1.95 or $2.95
and he got accustomed to saying "Here's your nickel back sir/ma'am".
And so when the band was thinking of a name, he suggested 'Nickelback,' and Chad Kroeger, his brother, liked it and the name stuck.
The band has 4 members:
Chad Kroeger
Ryan Peake
Mike Kroeger
Daniel Adair
And the wiki stuff:
Nickelback is a Canadian rock band from Hanna, Alberta, formed in 1995 by Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger. While largely a rock band, the group has also experimented with various other musical styles such as pop and country, aside from their hard rock and post-grunge base. Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold 30 million records worldwide. Nickelback ranks as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and is the 2nd best selling foreign act in the US behind The Beatles for the 2000s.
My personal favorites are: Someday, Figured you out, Never Again, Rockstar, If Everyone Cared, Photograph, Far Away, How You Remind Me.
How you remind me is excellent! Listen:

I love the way he sings 'And this is how, you remind me of what I really am, and this is how you remind me of what I really am.'
