It became three times platinum with a hadful of alt-rock melodic singles - Someday, Figured You Out, Feelin' Way Too Damn Good, Because Of You and, at last, See You At The Show. In 2003 the more sophisticated album The Long Road appeared.
At the same time Chad Kroeger collaborated with Josey Scott from Saliva on a powefull and romatic Spiderman soundtrack Hero. The album became 6 times platinum, throwing the band's songs on the top of Canadian, North American and British charts. It was their breakthrough album that made Nickelback known all over the world with the hit single How You Remind Me. As a result of the supporting tour The State sold about 500,000 copies in Nickelback's home country, which was an undoubted success.In 2001 the band recorded the follow-up Silver Side Up. At that period there were no new Canadian rock groups, and Nickelback filled the vacant niche with the post-grunge single Leader Of Men. In 1999 Nickelback released the sohpomore work, The State, which saw the light just in time. In 1998 the band members decided to manage the project themselves, distributing the duties among each other. In 1996 Nickelback moved to Vancouver and recorded their debut attempt, Curb, after which Nickelback went on a tour across Canada. Later the same year they were joined by percussionist Ryan Vikedal. At first they were a cover band, but soon got tired of it. The name was offered by Mike, who worked earlier in a fast-food cafe and often had to give a change in nickel coins to the clients. The band Nickelback was formed by three relatives - Chad, Mike and Brandon Kroeger along with Ryan Peake in 1995 in a small Canadian town of Hanna.
