Do you know where Nickelback got their name? Well, apparently back in Vancouver, someone in the band worked at Starbucks. All the prices there were $2.95 or $3.95 or $1.95…you get the idea, everything ended in 95 cents. Hence, said member working there would spend all day saying “here’s your nickel back”. Well, that is where the name Nickelback was conceived…

Random Fact – This one comes to us via email from a guy named Disturbed. His words are as follows: “i keep reading stories about random nickelback stuff and i was wondering if u were aware that the lead singer chad was a song producer for a band called default. that’s not really what i’m getting at, but i wanted to share with u that he makes a guest appearance in their video….he’s one of the guys fighting and the 2 girls trying to break them up…it’s kind of hard to see their faces cuz it’s blurry, but i watched it a few times and noticed it was him. i just thought it was odd cuz i’m hearing of them everywhere and then they pop up with default. just thought ya would want to know that” We checked out this story with Nickelback’s A&R Rep and all is true… If you have a Nickelback random fact, drop us a line.

What you are about to see was shot in Vancouver over July 28 and 29, 2001 by The Brothers Strause (Linkin Park and Powerman 5000 videos), in some big, empty warehouse. For the video, half of the warehouse was transformed into a club, and the other half into an apartment (apartment of some chick, you’ll see). Taping started at 7am on both days, ending around 10pm. In the immortal words of Nickelback’s A&R Rep Ron Burman, “I love the video! It really portrays the band the way they are live and shows how much power the song has.” Check it out in the VIDEO section.

“How You Remind Me,” the first single from SILVER SIDE UP, is burning up the US Billboard’s rock charts. It’s has quickly shot to #1 on the “Mainstream Rock Tracks” chart after only eight weeks, knocking out Staind’s “It’s Been Awhile,” which has been lodged in the #1 slot for 20 weeks. The song jumps to #2 on the “Modern Rock Tracks” chart (it was #5 last week), and last week it mounted the #75 spot on the “Hot 100 Singles” chart. In their native Canada, “How You Remind Me” debuted in the Top 20 on the country’s singles chart, marking the highest debut from a Canadian rock band ever. It currently sits in the #1 slot for the second consecutive week, marking the band’s first #1 single in their homeland. This is only the second time in history that a Canadian band has been #1 on both the Canadian and U.S. Rock charts at the same time. The Guess Who was the first band to mark this feat for their 1970 hit “American Woman.” In other chart news, “How You Remind Me” is #1 on Album Network’s “Most Requested” chart, above Drowning Pool and Puddle of Mudd.

The band’s debut album ‘The State’ is available now. Dale Penner produced the album and GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers) was the mixer. The State is available for around 퉌£11.99 from HMV, Virgin, MVC, Andys, and all good indies. The tracklisting is: Breathe Cowboy Hat Leader Of Men Old Enough Worthy To Say Diggin’ This Deep One Last Run Not Leavin’ Yet Hold Out Your Hand Leader Of Men (acoustic)
