IoMP 65: Nickelback - Are They Rock or Metal?

In this episode, Collin and Tom (with special guest The Pumpkin Queen) dive into the ultimate non-debate: Is Nickelback a rock or metal band? Spoiler alert—they're rock. Nobody's losing sleep over this one, but that doesn't stop the crew from stretching a 5-second verdict into 13 minutes of banter, breakdowns, and begrudging respect.Tom argues that early Nickelback was heavier than people remember, while Collin and The Pumpkin Queen are firmly in the “divorced dad rock” camp. We also discover that Tom somehow never introduced The Pumpkin Queen to Creed, much to Collin’s audible disappointment.It’s a fun, lighthearted entry in the “Rock or Metal?” series—featuring just enough sarcasm and side tangents to make it worth the listen.Check out more from Collin!https://indi1015.ca/shows/thrashers-paradise/https://www.youtube.com/@thrashersparadise4132https://www.instagram.com/thrashers_paradise/https://www.facebook.com/Thrashers.Paradise.666/Check out more from Tom!https://themetalrobot.com/https://www.youtube.com/@MetalRobotReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/theMetalRobothttps://x.com/theMetalRobothttps://www.instagram.com/the.metalrobot/MUSIC:Nickelback “Burn It To The Ground”Nickelback “Feed The Machine”-----------------------------DISCLAIMER: Copyright Exceptions under the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c.
