Nickelback

I would estimate in the hundreds of millions. With a tour that's been going on for two years, merchandise sales, and record sales, you would expect the net worth of the band to be somewhere near $600 million.

No windy turton is his dad but he changed his last name to his mom maiden name kroeger Debbie kroeger is his mom his last name used to be chad Robert turton but now it's had Robert turton kroeger

2007 in the album all the right reasons

late 2005/early 2006 in America and February 13, 2006 in Britain

They are one of the best selling rock bands ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heh heh i dont think you really know a whole lot of rock bands if you think they are one of the biggest selling bands. queen, van halen, metallica, the beatles, and nirvanna probably have sold many more than them

his girlfriend

his sister in-law

his outrageous fan

secret picture taking person

A few examples of 1800s: Home on the Range, Ballad of Jesse James, Goodbye, Ol' Paint, Ghost Riders in the Sky

From the 1900s: Ring of Fire, Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash and June Carter)

From the modern day: Ballad of Rango (Los Lobos), This Cowboy's Hat (Chris Ledoux)

They are mostly a Hard Rock band, but have Soft Rock songs. Their first album 'Curb' was Post-Grunge, but they changed to Hard Rock After that. Some of their songs have metal influences, but are generally considered a rock band.

Nickelback has been nominated six times but they have never actually won a Grammy.

Yes, he smokes weed, if you consider that a drug. he talks about it at most of his shows. Ive been to two nickelback shows and at one of them someone through a joint out on to the stage and he smoked it, right there in front of 20,000 people. so yeah.

If go to his website daniel-adair.com and check out is latest promo shots, you can see his wedding band in one of them. Fans have been wishing him the best on his marriage as well.

Yes they broke up, but they were never married.

I'm really confused about it! I mean Chad Kroeger is married to Marianne Gurick, but I'm starting to hear from people that Chad is not with Marianne anymore, and he has a new girlfriend with the name Kristen Dewitt! And want the truth! And we need to know if that's true or just gossip, and if it's true, we need Marianne and Chad to get back together! cause they were a perfect couple! I really hope the best for both of them!

He was cheating on his wife with this girl Kristen for a couple of years before they broke up. I don't think his wife ever knew until after the break up. I've read this Kristen chick is a hooker too. That guy is going downhill fast!

michael jackson easily also early Al Green

Yes, he has, all the digital profits from their hit single, If Everyone Cared, has been donated to the International Children's Awareness Canada, and Amnesty International.

Nickelback is a rock band, and yes they are still all alive.

Chad is not married, he couldn't have got married in sep 08 because his band Nickelback were touring, there are rumours he will be getting married around Christmas time, but chad has not confirmed/denied it

Chad Kroeger and Marianne are married now.

No, they never got married.

its because people think that all they talk about is going out and getting drunk. they do have a lot of songs that aren't about that kinda stuff such as Hollywood, when we stand together, leader of men ,how you remind me. the list goes on and on and some people hate them because they are from Canada. and i think a lot of guys hate them for the same reason they hate Justin beiber because girls think there hot

Nickelback, by quite a lot aswell.

*Updated Oct 2012 with correct information by Mitch Guindon*

Mitch Guindon played with Canadian rock band Nickelback from 1997-1998 while working at Ayotte Drums in Vancouver, BC which is also where Nickelback's first drummer Brandon Kroeger worked at the time. Other notable drummers working at Ayotte Drums in 1998 were Chris Crippin (Bif Naked, Hedley), Ian Browne (Matthew Good, No Sinner) and Adam Drake (Art Bergmann, Holly McNarland).

Mitch Guindon does not appear on any Nickelback recordings but did tour western Canada several times and was in a music video for the song "Fly" from the album "Curb". Mitch Guindon was replaced by drummer Ryan Vikedal in 1998 just prior to the recording of the album "The State". There are few pictures of Mitch Guindon playing with Nickelback aside from some old promotional material and fan photos.

From 1998 to 2007 Mitch Guindon returned to his hometown on Vancouver Island and resumed his former career as an automotive technician with a specialty in high performance import cars. Drumming was less of a focus during this time though he did continue to play regularly.

In 2008 Mitch Guindon moved to Fort St. John, BC where he found an impressive music scene thriving in this beautiful northern community and quickly resumed playing drums for several local singer songwriters such as Dayna Manning, Ryan Hennessey, Ryan Sebastiano, The Barracudas, Twin Peaks, and others. He also began studying cajon with renowned drummer and percussionist Dave Tolley (Xavier Rudd, Nine Mile, Brian Macmillan). Dave Tolley and Mitch Guindon together with drummer Mark Bodner began development of a professional line of hand made cajon drums and called the company Mitchslap Percussion.

2011 brought Mitch Guindon back to Vancouver Island where he continues to specialize in high performance cars at 5252 Motorsports in Victoria, BC and can be found playing with recording artists Ryan McMahon, Tara MacLean and others.

It was "Gotta Be Somebody"

^^^ ARE YOU SERIOUS. I thought people were supposed to have reliable sources to answer these questions.

They're first single was How You Remind Me.Gotta Be Somebody was their first single off their SIXTH album.

No you nits! What was their very first song that they ever wrote?!?!

NOT their first popular first SINGLE on a CD!!!

Like the first song they ever played in their garage!

Or, wherever they played music from the start!

Geez!

They started out as a cover band, so I'm sure it was nothing original. BTW, they're first single ever was Leader of Men, not How You Remind Me.

Gotta be somebody was just made and like i think it is breathe that was made first i want the first song they made idk Help meh plz

There aren't any references, but Wikipedia says "Fly" was the first single produced by Nickelback. It was on their EP, Hesher, and also release on their first full-length CD, Curb.

I think u guys are just foos with holy carps!!!! enjoy ur lonely lives!

Im from the Vancouver area and saw them a few times before they were mainstream with there first commercial single Leader of men but they had released more singles before that on local radio off there EP Hesher and Album Curb and the first single is on both of them " Fly " . Infact the only reason everyone can buy Curb is there label paid them for the rights to the Album after they signed them and then changed the packaging on instead of the original packaging of a Canadian nickel for both the cover and the CD label and they also changed the original " The State " packaging as the original was released before they signed with there label and there is also two different version of Leader of men videos and the original video is near to impossible to find any were , Infact i have only ever seen it 3 or 4 times when it was new
