Nickleback is one of the hottest bands in the world right now, and are one of my personal favorites. I thought I would put together a few of their videos for everyone on hubpages to enjoy. Nickleback's song "Rockstar" is one of the coolest songs out; it makes a little fun of the lifestyle of a rock star. The best thing though if you are inclined to watch the video, they recruited some pretty big stars to play different parts. Some of the really cool stars who show up are Chuck Liddel from the UFC, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame actually has some lyrics with that great gravely voice of his, Wayne Gretzky the best hockey player of all time and current Phoenix Coyotes coach, Nelly Furtado just because she is so hot, and Gene Simmons which is just too appropriate for a Rockstar video.

If by chance you have been living under a rock somewhere and have missed out on the great band Nickleback I will warn you in advance that listening to just one of their songs will become addictive and will cause you to spend money on CD's or itunes. I have been hooked on Nickleback for many years but their real coming out party began with their 4^th album "All the right reasons" and the mega hit single "photograph". "Photograph" is a great song that will take you down your own little memory lane and make you think of all the people you grew up with, and the places you haunted as a teenager. To me "photograph" is one of those truly remarkable songs that will last forever. Until that album was released Nickleback was a relatively unknown Canadian grunge band, but they did have a steady fan base selling over 5 million copies of their 3^rd album "The long road".

Check out the super cool Nickleback video "Rockstar" and I put the lyrics below the video incase you missed anything. Then the video for "photograph" and my personal favorite Nickleback song "figured you out". Although if you listen to "figured you out" you may either say yeah that's a really cool song or wow you have to be a little demented to list that song as your favorite. Either way I hope you enjoy Nickleback as much as I have over the years.

Here are the lyrics for "Rockstar":

I'm through with standing in line

To clubs we'll never get in

It's like the bottom of the ninth

And I'm never gonna win

This life hasn't turned out

Quite the way I want it to be

(Tell me watchya want)

I want a brand new house

On an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub big enough

For ten plus me

(Tell me watchya need)

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit

And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

Gonna join the mile high club

At thirty-seven thousand feet

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard

Somewhere between Cher and

James Dean is fine for me

(So how you gonna do it)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair and change my name

‘Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair and well,

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

Sign a couple autographs

So I can eat my meals for free

(I'll have the quesadilla, haha)

I'm gonna dress my ass

With the latest fashion

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

Gonna date a centerfold that loves to

Blow my money for me

(So how you gonna do it)

I'm gonna trade this life

For fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair

And change my name

‘Cause we all just

Wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses

Driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and

The drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny

'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and

Today's who's who

They'll get you anything

With that evil smile

Everybody's got a

Drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs

That offend the censors

Gonna pop my pills

From a pez dispenser

I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs

Lip sync em every night so I don't get ‘em wrong

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there

Every playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and today's who's who

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
