Nickelback: See New Documentary Trailer for ‘Hate to Love’

Nickelback is the subject of a new documentary chronicling the band’s history, including the infamous amount of hate they received.

The trailer for Hate to Love: Nickelback can be viewed below. (WARNING: Contains some NSFW language.) The film by Leigh Brooks is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Screenings of the film are sponsored by the popular vacuum brand Dyson. Don’t think we didn’t notice the funny irony of a brand that literally sucks is sponsoring these screenings. (Of course, we kid because we love.)

Per the trailer, the film’s synopsis reads, “Nickelback is one of the most successful acts in music history — they’re also the number one band haters love to hate. This intimate portrait surveys the Canadian stadium rockers’ rollercoaster career.”

Nickelback is currently on tour in North America in support of their latest album, Get Rollin’. Their next show is tonight (August 1) in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena. A full list of upcoming tour dates can be found at Nickelback.com.

11 Butt Rock Songs that Actually Rule

With Creed reuniting for the first time in a decade, we can’t help but explore a certain controversial subgenre: Butt Rock.

The origins and definition of Butt Rock are murky, at best. One listing on Urban Dictionary defines the subgenre as, “A style of hard rock & heavy metal music that is watered down both musically and lyrically to garner maximum radio play and mainstream acceptance.” Typically, Butt Rock bands cropped up in the late ’90s and throughout the aughts. However, other Urban Dictionary definitions classify ’80s hair metal as Butt Rock, too.

Perhaps, Butt Rock is truly in the ear of the beholder. It might just be a derogatory term rock fans use on bands they don’t like. For the sake of this list, we’re classifying Butt Rock in relation to music released in the late ’90s and throughout the aughts.

Without further ado, here are 11 Butt Rock songs that actually rule.
