Nickelback

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

Well it all started in the year 1999 when nickelback got roadrunner records. In 2000 nickelback the state was released. Its first single leader of men did well charting number 8 on billboard mainstream rock charts it was also a top 20 hit in canada. The single stay in the top ten for ten weeks so yeah is 2000 but in 2001 nickelback how you remind me was a huge success. Leader Of Men was only a success while how you remind me was a huge one.

Chad Kroeger is married to Marianne Gurick.

Brandon Kroeger is now a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Financial Analyst living in Alberta, Canada. He has since played on a variety on studio recordings with other bands but plays mostly Jazz/Fusion for fun. He continues to be close to his Nickelback family but enjoys the quieter life with his family.

Well... why do you care. They are not your parents so do not worry about it. They know who their parents are, so they do not need you to figure it out for them. If they wanted the whole world to know who their parents are they would tell everyone.

He's married , but he doesn't have children .

Nickelback are back on tour next month. Check out their website to find out tour details and dates. I know they are in Manchester and Sheffield (I am going to see them in Sheffield).

I'm pretty sure that he lives in Maui, Hawaii. I babysit his kids from time to time. (And his kids go to my school.) He often takes them when he needs to go on tour. :) hope that helps

Brandon Henry Kroeger the original drummer for Nickelback, is indeed the first cousin of both Chad and Mike Kroeger of Nickelback. Nicklebackis a Canadian rock band formed in Hanna, Alberta by Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger (the current drummer of Nickelback being Daniel Adair). The band is one of the most popular of the modern post-grunge genre, along with groups such as 3 Doors Down and Daughtry, performing in a significantly more radio-friendly style than the traditional, early 1990s grunge music era. Although the founders of the band hail from Hanna, Alberta, a small town east of Calgary, they are now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band's name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his Starbucks job-he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back". Yes, Brandon Kroeger is related to Chad, however he is not his brother, they are cousins.

They play Rock music .

-Yeah rock, and soft rock sometimes.

Some of they're songs are This afternoon, far away, never gonna be alone, search them up and you'd probablly like them! ;)

They started in 1995 , but they were officially formed in 1996 .

The definition of a Christian is one who follows Christ ( meaning Jesus Christ) there are places on the internet where you can read a quote he said that was something like I think if you live a good life and have a good soul there is life after death but you don't have to believe in Jesus to get there. Don't quote me exactly, but that's pretty much what he said. So, therefore he is not a christian.

out to not let it build up and snap and to be yourself and to show that they have been through it and all of korns members are still alive and happy...

all members is or have been married to the opposite sex but front man jonathan davis was bullied in school for wearing make up and being different

they used homophobic terms to where it confused jon in to thinking hes gay so he tried dating the same sex he didn't like it and has stated he has never slept
