Nickelback walks into a bar...there's no punchline because ruining music isn't funny.

I've experienced great things, I've experienced great tragedies. I've done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there's more.

Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.

If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.

I don't want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences - but they kinda do. There's always a divorce. There's always an OD. There's always a bad business manager.

I think that if you're passionate about something and you're driven and you're focused, then you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life.

A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.
