"Savin' Me" Nickelback Controversy EXPLAINED

Am I the only one who thinks Nickelback are actually a good band?

I never got why people hate on Nickelback so much. I always liked their music.

Whoever edited the audio on this video deserves a raise. The subtle detail of lowering the volume and looping the background beat while Michael talks, then bringing it back up and having the beat perfectly sync to the next part of the review is just wonderful.

I’ve been to a lot of concerts, but “live” Nickleback was one of the best sounding I’ve seen.

Nickleback is awesome. Dont care what anyone says. ❤

Grew up with Nickelback, always stood by them through thick and thin. Love Nickelback

They’re an awesome band , love their music

I was in high school when this song came out. And I just realized how religious it is, about my broken, sinful state and need for Christ. Thanks Michael.

"Savin' Me" is what got me into Nickelback as an eight-year-old kid. Glad to see it getting a little love again.

This is such a uniquely powerful song. In 2005 I was 13 years old, and ever since first seeing this particular music video for the first time, it has always had the power to move me to tears. The type/antitype of the elderly woman dying and then the pregnant woman with the secondary "counter" for her child gets me every time. Having those two scenes right beside each other is a stroke of directorial genius. The circle of life is a beautiful thing. Value all the time you have with your loved ones, and always welcome new life. Go in peace 🕊️💕

The reason why people hate on them is because their songs are considered cringe, yet everyone still listens to them because they are good.

I actually went to a Nickelback concert a couple months ago and they packed the entire amfatheater. They rocked the place.

I think Nickelback is one of those bands that is just popular to hate. They don’t really know why they hate them, it’s just the trendy thing to do. Personally, I think this band is cool!

I absolutely love this band and this song and many others. The uppers who try to cancel those they can’t control tried to smash them and make people feel like they are not right if they like them but numbers of views don’t lie

They definitely had their moment in the culture. Not sure why they are hated so much.

Nickelback's songs go across a spectrum of issues and concepts in life. They're very intelligent people and they're always the coolest band around They're the best! Chad is actually one of the nicest person you'll ever meet. His voice is also very good and his energy and charm is through the roof! He sings and talks to people, like actually talk to his audience and ask real questions and tell real funny stories during their concerts. There's really no truth to people hating this band. Always SRO on all their concerts and multiple platinum albums say it all. I was on stage singing a song with this band just 2 months ago and I can attest to how respectful, kind and just how honest these people are. Im forever a Nickelback fan ❤

I once lived in Tokyo and was out with friends circa 2009, doing the usual karaoke shenanigans. I knew of Nickelback but that was about it. We ran into Chad (and their drummer) and hung out for a bit in the wee hours of the morning, in Geronimo Shot Bar in Roppongi. A gracious, friendly and humble guy.

I was 18 when this song was popular. Just moved out, working my first job away from home and on my own. I felt lost and this song kept me going. Gave me hope. Thanks Nickelback.

I've always thought they're a good band. Love their music.

When they released "Edge of a Revolution" back in 2014 they were canceled by the powers that be and no longer "cool". That song was way ahead of its time.
