Chad Kroeger’s “Get Rollin” Hit the Charts—Now He’s Ready For The Hate!
It may sound like a bad idea, but Nickelback’s lead singer, Chad Kroeger, is all for the drama. After dropping their 10th studio album, Get Rollin, on the front of music media, the rocker said he’s “ready for the world to hate us again.”
Why the Music Crowd Still Has a Hunch About Nickelback
- “We joke about it all the time,” Chad says. “I’m ready for the world to hate us again.”
- Guitarist Ryan Peake calls it “a softening,” but for fans it’s still a steady beat of riffs that keep the music country‑south‑rock vibe alive.
- The new album mixes the familiar with slightly heavier tracks—“people think it’s ‘a bit out of character,’ but it’s just Nickelback through and through.”
Everything On The Album—And Nothing You’ll Feel Surprised About
Chad says it’s “one of those classic Nickelback records.” Songs flow from a catchy opener like “Photograph” to the heartbreak of “Far Away” and still drop a decent punch with “Side of a Bullet.” The steady ebb and flow means whatever you’re in the mood for is there.
The Mispronunciation Conspiracy
Chad’s hair line curve famously causes confusion. “It’s Kroo-Ger, don’t trust the internet. If I just stop and go, ‘Actually, it’s Kroo-Ger,’ I’m going to look like someone ’dbe. So I’m just like whatever, I don’t care.”
But then there’s a twist: Jerry Cantrell—the guitar wizard from Alice In Chains—caught one interviewee mispronouncing the last name and corrected them in the microphone. “Tell that dude across the room how to say it properly so that he stops saying it wrong into that mic and misinforming people,” Jerry told the host. Chad had a drop‑of‑wit moment, “Wow you really care about this s*!”
Wrap‑Up—Smooth‑Sailing Fan Fame
For Nickelback fans, the new record keeps the brand strong. Ronnie with the roll, seems that style is still on your playlist. Off a small pequite, next neutral.
