Documentarul oficial Nickelback "Hate To Love" va fi lansat in septembrie

Documentarul oficial NICKELBACK, „Hate To Love: Nickelback” va avea premiera mondiala la Festivalul International de Film de la Toronto in septembrie.

Potrivit unei postari de pe site-ul web al Festivalului International de Film de la Toronto, filmul exploreaza modul in care "NICKELBACK is one of the most successful acts in music history — they're also the number one band haters love to hate. This intimate portrait surveys the Canadian stadium rockers' rollercoaster career."

„Hate To Love: Nickelback” a fost regizat de regizorul britanic Leigh Brooks, care a lucrat anterior la documentare despre LIFE OF AGONY si TERRORVISION.

Brooks a anuntat premiera documentarului pe 24 iulie, scriind pe Instagramul sau: "So, after 6 years in the making we can finally share the trailer to our feature length film on @nickelback - the world premiere will take place in September at the Toronto International Film Festival @tiff_net Mind Blown!"

Brooks a terminat de lucrat la „Hate To Love: Nickelback” in iunie. La acea vreme, el a scris pe LinkedIn despre experienta: "Wow. 6 years filming the NICKELBACK doc and today was the last day, NICKELBACK and everyone one of the Nickelteam are fine fine people," he wrote. "Eternally grateful the band let us document this amazing film. There were times I didn't think this day would come, and although it feels like a freight train grinding to a halt, I'm really excited for what is pulling up at the station as we speak."

Intr-un interviu din februarie 2023 cu „Rock Hard With Phil And Tish”, Brooks a declarat despre modul in care s-a implicat in documentarul NICKELBACK:"Well, basically, funnily enough, I just finished TERROVISION when a friend of mine that I work with quite a lot got a call from Ben, the radio presenter, and he was the first person to play 'How You Remind Me' in the U.K. And [he] said, 'Look, I've gotta do this. I got an EPK to do — electronic press kit — about the [then-]new [NICKELBACK] album 'Feed The Machine'. Do you know anyone that could come over and shoot with me and do a piece about the album? So through the TERROVISION doc, it actually landed me this gig."

"At the beginning, I knew nothing about NICKELBACK," a recunoscut Leigh. "I knew 'How You Remind Me' and I remember I loved the tune at the time. I was one of those people that thought… I didn't, didn't agree with [NICKELBACK frontman] Chad's [Kroeger's] hairstyle, I didn't agree with some of his dress sense. To be honest, looking back at some of my hairstyles and dress sense at the time, I had no right to throw shade, man… And that was really all I knew. 'Cause I was [into stuff like] BIOHAZARD, I was [into] LIFE OF AGONY. I was [into] METALLICA, which, ironically, these guys [in NICKELBACK], when they grew up, they, they were bang into SLAYER and ANTHRAX and METALLICA. And yeah, we went over and did this thing on 'Feed The Machine', and it quickly turned out, it looked like we [were] gonna do like a longer version about all of the albums. And then that morphed into, 'Ah, let's go back and shoot a bit more concert stuff.' And then I found out the guys were going back to Hanna [Alberta, Canada], which is their hometown. And I'm, like, 'What for?' And they're, like, 'We're gonna go play a gig?' I'm like, 'Really?' 'Yeah. The place we used to play when we were really, really young. It was like two and a half thousand people in Hanna. That's it. And I was, like, 'We should be going to film that.' And then all of a sudden it just went from there. Every opportunity, there was a bit more to film or a bit more to explore. But, yeah, the controversy [surrounding NICKELBACK] definitely intrigued me, 'cause I was, like, 'Well, there's gotta be more to this that meets the eye.' And man, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. They paved the way for everyone else to get their asses handed to them on the Internet, basically."

Intr-un interviu recent cu Robin Nash de la Tucson, postul de radio KFMA-FM din Arizona, Chad a fost intrebat de ce crede ca atat de multi oameni ii urasc trupa. El a raspuns : "That kind of used to be a thing. I shouldn't say 'that kind of used to be' — that was definitely a thing for a long time. And I think there's been a softening — there really has, thankfully. I'm not sure if it's because we receive a ton of love on TikTok or whatever the hell it is, but for whatever reason the teeth have kind of been removed. It's really nice, it's really nice to not be Public Enemy Number One. I think that with the range of songs that we write — from rock to all the softer, melodic stuff, all the way down to… Well, I know that 'Far Away' got played on country stations even and I know that 'Rockstar' — the heavily redacted version — got played on CMT," a continuat acesta. "So when you're going that far and the scope is that wide, it makes it tough to get away from the band if you're not into the band. And if you're trying to switch the radio station three times, and it's just, like, 'Ah, there they are. There's their rock song on the rock station. There's their pop song on the pop station. And oh my God, I can't even go to the country station and get away from these guys.' That type of oversaturation could p**s people off. But at the end of the day, we're just a band that makes music. I can't stand a couple of bands, but I don't go online and turn into a keyboard warrior and just start hating on them. I just change the channel or I put on something that I wanna listen to."

In februarie, Chad a declarat pentru „Whiplash”, emisiunea radio KLOS gazduita de Full Metal Jackie, ca toata atentia negativa din jurul lui NICKELBACK a contribuit de fapt la longevitatea trupei. "Well, I've been saying that for years,"a spus acesta. "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. [Laughs]".

Kroeger a vorbit, de asemenea, despre toate memele care aun legatura cu NICKELBACK si care apar in mod regulat pe internet, explicand ca "if it's music oriented and we think it's funny, we just leave it there, 'cause the band, collectively, has a great sense of humor. I mean, funny's funny. Just rude and ignorant, that's different. And yeah, obviously, there's tons of that too. But funny is funny. And as the Brits would say, we have no problem taking the p**s out of ourselves."

Ultimul material lansat de NICKELBACK a fost albumul "Get Rollin'", din noiembrie, lansat prin BMG.
