Have I already mentioned that I actually really liked the first few Nickelback records? My guilty pleasure.

I sort of skipped over a lot of 2000's "rock".
Glad I did, because I was mostly right.

My musical heroes wore spandex and snorted lines out of the ass cracks of hot groupies. The cultural shift of opiate-drenched, self loathing grunge was just too much of a change for me to make the transition.

I was ok with most modern rock/grunge/metal up til about '97 or so. After that I lost interest with a lot of mainstream rock.

I never could identify with grunge at all, but part of that is because I live just outside of Seattle and the local music scene in the late eighties/early nineties took a pretty dark turn and I just couldn’t get into the music or the lifestyle that influenced it. A buddy and I actually did go see Pearl Jam at the now famous Rck Cndy show right after Ten was released, but that was about the only local show I attended.

There are a few Candlebox songs as well as the Alice In Chains catalog that I like.
The rest of the Grunge era wasn’t for me
We all like what we like.

Ah, the 2000s. I started high school, experienced a lot of my firsts. Luckily for me, I had already been exposed to guitar and guitar music from the 70s and 80s but popular culture was hard to escape. Gangster rap, hip hop, boy bands, bubblegum girls, Nu-Metal, pop punk, garage revival, all were prevalent at different yet similar times.

well I don't consider the early to late 2000 as Grunge Era, as I love grunge
There are some post grunge bands that I like but most not,

I really liked AiC from that era though, Sound Garden was cool too. Mother Love Bone and early Pearl Jam I liked. Nirvana's stuff was good, but never heavily latched on to it like the others.

A friend from high school was in an early incarnation of AIC, when they were still a spandex-clad glam band. The spelling was hair metal too, something like Alyce-N-Chaynz. I can enjoy most of those bands now, but as an early twenties guy with a good job and outlook on life, I just couldn’t relate to it back then at all. By ‘92 or so, I was revisiting a lot of popular music from the early-mid eighties that I had ignored when it was new. Also, the Brian Setzer Orchestra was in regular rotation, THAT was music that suited my mood at the time.

I can relate somewhat, in the very early 90's I was catching up on a lot of 60's and 70's music I missed. By '95 I was in my first band and we played a lot of funky clean stuff, and plenty of long 60's style jams. I was listening to a lot of jazz, fusion and classical too, so pretty much all over the map. But that's how the 90's felt to me, it was a little bit of everything with a huge dose of retro vibes.

I joined a working bar band in ‘94, and the other guys were all 15 years older than me. We did 70s-80s rock, so I was pretty absorbed in learning a lot of material from those decades.

I never really dug Metallica, either. My drummer buddy was into them starting with RTL, but I guess I was just never wired to respond favorably to aggressive music. Priest and Maiden were as hard as it got for me, and even Painkiller was pushing it.

This was the first Nickelback tune I ever heard-



I dug the hell out of that tune back then and was excited when I saw the premier of “How You Remind Me”, I’m still kind of blown away how big that song got. I dug it initially and it’s a hell of a catchy rock tune, which is Kroger’s specialty, I’m just burnt on it and the overall format/aesthetic.

Nickelback was great when you first heard them. Then you heard the next song, and the next, and the formula was so in your face that you couldn’t unhear it. But they were huge with the short attention span bubble gum fans, so more power to them.
