Nickelback was helped early on by ], the Canadian law requiring a certain percentage of music played on Canadian radio to be from Canadian musical artists. Their second full length album, ''The State'', propelled them to the mainstream with two Top 10 hits (one being "Leader of Men") and the follow up album ''Silver Side Up'', with 2002's most-played single "How You Remind Me", gave them superstar status, scoring multi-format smashes on every album since.

''Silver Side Up'' was released on Tuesday, ], ]. On that morning, they were on their tour bus traveling across Pennsylvania less than 10 miles from where ] crashed.

Nickelback is often the target of jokes and criticism by comedians such as ], and ]

In a press conference, bassist ] said to the ], "I think that's remarkable for someone to notice that there is a hit quality. If all hits sound the same, then sorry. When you are a band that has a distinct style such as us or ], that happens. When you have a distinct style, you run the risk of sounding similar."<ref>The NPR Broadcast on the issue as well as quotes can be found </ref>.
Chad Kroeger has on several occasions lashed out at his band's detractors in television interviews and during concert appearances by stating that "Nickelback doesn't suck" and citing sales figures of their albums as proof.

The band was playing their second song at the ] in Portugal on ], ], when singer ] was suddenly sprayed with a full bottle of water, hurled from somewhere within the audience. Kroeger immediately tore off his guitar and confronted the crowd. As he turned away, he was pelted in the back of the head with what looked like a large rock. "See ya," he replied with a wave. With that, the entire band followed him off the stage. Both Kroeger and drummer Ryan Vikedal gave the audience the finger as they strode off.<ref> ChartAttack.com</ref>
