604 Records. You can view their website, here.

13. What's your input on the Creed similarites? Back to top
Well, first off, people who say that Nickelback is a Creed ripoff band, you're terribly mistaken. First off, Nickelback were out in the music scene before Creed was, which means that you must mean Creed is a ripoff of Nickelback. Also, Chad stated in an interview that Nickelback has a major blues influence, unlike Creed.. I don't think they do. Do I like Creed? I have nothing against them.. some people just don't have their facts straight.

I started this site in early, mid April 2002, and it's been going good ever since. :)

21. When's the next album going to be released? Back to top
I'm not exactly sure of the correct date, but it's being rumoured that we should be seeing some stuff before or in June, of this year. The band are currently in the studio, and as far as I know, they've recorded 3 songs so far and have another 15 ready.

22. I'm hearing voices on the Curb CD, what's wrong with me? Back to top
Nothing is wrong with you. I think that when they recorded the CD in studio, they just let anything go. But, who knows? You'd have to ask them. After the 5th song, "Where" you can hear "4:13? 4:13.. It was good."

23. How do you pronounce Kroeger? Back to top
Most people say "Crow grr," but it's "Crew grr."

Village Idiot and/or Point Of View.

25. Why did Brandon Kroeger leave Nickelback? Back to top
According to a interview, he left so he could start a family.

26. Did Nickelback ever have another name? Back to top
Before The State.. circa the debut of Hesher the band was known as "Brick."

27. Damn pop-ups! Can't you get rid of them? Back to top
No pop-ups = no Nickelback Fans. Just keep the single pop-up open, minimize it. There's one pop-up per page; I use frames.. so if you leave it open, they'll be no more pop ups. And close it out after you're done viewing the site.

28. When will the next tour begin? Back to top
Well, the CD comes out on the 23rd of September, so the tour would more than likely start fairly shortly after that.

29. Will there be another DVD? Back to top
I wouldn't see why not.. possibly after the touring of the next CD.
