IoMP 65: Nickelback - Are They Rock or Metal?
Is Nickelback actually metal? Of course not—but that didn’t stop us from asking the question anyway!
In this episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin, Tom, and special guest The Pumpkin Queen take on the most obvious entry yet in our "Are They Rock or Metal?" series... and somehow stretch it into a 13-minute rollercoaster of sarcasm, surprise opinions, and confused Creed commentary.
Tom argues there's more grit in Nickelback’s early material than you remember, while Collin and The Pumpkin Queen roast them as second-tier “divorced dad rock.” But could Chad Kroeger’s rough vocals push them closer to metal territory than we’d like to admit?
If you're in the mood for playful debates, unexpected hot takes, and the kind of passionate over analysis only metalheads can deliver—this episode is for you.
Hit play and let the chaos unfold.
