Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has revealed that he believes all the hate his band has received over the years has actually helped the band stay relevant.
As transcribed by Loudwire, Kroeger shared his thoughts on the unintended positive impact of the most vocal Nickelback detractors during a chat with US radio program Whiplash.
"All the detractors, all the haters, all the keyboard heroes, they have no idea how much they keep us in the press loop. It's hilarious,"
"Those people that would love to see us go away, if they really wanted to see us go away, they would just shut up, because all those bands that came out with us at the same time are all gone, because nobody said anything about them. They all just sort of disappeared. But we've really kind of spun this whole negative thing into a positive thing. And here we are."

Kroeger's comments come as the band are out touring in support of their most recent album 2022's Get Rollin’.
The release of Get Rollin' followed a promotional campaign from the band that sawthem 'go missing' and poke fun at their own endless meme-ability.
The band also starred in a viral video Nickelback Reacts to Nickelback Fans React To Nickelback in which fans listen to Nickelback songs, while Nickelback watch their reactions secretly. When they finish listening, the band reveal their presence and everybody has a nice time.
