Worst music related DVD.... ever June 13, 2002
M. Phillips (Lexington, KY)

I can't say enough bad things about this DVD. I went into the store looking to get the Disturbed dvd.. but noticed that This Side Up was already out. In a big flip of the coin, I went with Nickelback, and boy was it a huge mistake. There are NO music whatsoever on this cd. From the menu, you have 2 options, play and scene selection. I was disappointed when I saw that the music videos weren't here, but I was expecting this to be like Godsmack's Smack This, full of backstage antics. No, there are no backstage antics. There's really nothing. This dvd is basically 5 different guys, none of which are in Nickelback, talking about the Vancouver music scene and how it's going to be the next Seattle. Not with boring people like this it isn't. One of the guys who talks is an ex-producer, one is an artist in Vancouver, and the few other people in here seem like their just bums off the street. The commentator behind this is perhaps the worst thing about the whole video. He sounds like a guy off a nature film. I can't think of one thing i learned about Nickelback, other than most of them are related. This video is simply horrible, and I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm usually too lazy to take anything back, even if I don't like it. But this video just crosses the line. I have lost a little respect of Nickelback by them allowing people to charge 19.99 for something like this. Save yourself money, time and anger by getting something else. Godsmack, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam all have great DVDs. This however is a wanna be VH1 behind the music.. except it [is really] bad.
Disappointing, at best. What a fraud! November 21, 2003

I wish I'd read the existing reviews before buying this DVD.... A total waster of money, at any price! My hopes totally sunk when the DVD started and immediately said that it contains NO music from Nickelback and NO performance footage. The most Nickelback footage you get is a TINY backstage bit at the beginning. The rest of the video talks about how they promoted themselves and the music scene in Vancouver. If you are looking for "man on the street" (literally) opinions of Vancounver's music scene, then you'll love this! But to say it has anything to do at all with Nickelback's story is bordering on fraud. It shouldn't even be sold, as doing so encourages others to produce similar projects. I'm ashamed to have purchased it and inadvertently added to the coffers of these crooks (meaning, the DVD's makers, not Amazon!).
Sad, very sad. August 6, 2002

I, like the others, bought this DVD thinking it was a legit CD (I've seen the word unathorized used on videos before and thought it was just part of the name) with interviews, backstage material, and good music...instead I get a very disappointing knock-off. When I got home and took the wrapper and stickers off of the package it had in very small print on the back that the people making these DVDs got no permission from Nickelback or the producers (which means the band makes no profit) Why is this even being sold? I thought that kind of stuff was illegal.
Wow.... April 17, 2004

I bought this knowing it was "unauthorized." Little did I know just how much whining and complaining there was in the Vancouver area about the area's most famous "sons."There IS a little bit of cool footage, but this is seriously not any kind of DVD ON Nickelback. Mostly just Vancouver wanna-bes and and ex-manager (who takes a lot of credit not due him) talking about the band. You can get as much inside info on message boards on the 'net. Probably those ideas are just as valid as the ones presented here. SKIP IT!
not what i expected March 12, 2003

this was a very poorly made documentary. there was barely anything about the band and they kept flashing the same still shots of them over and over again. the dvd was poor quality and it seemed like it was just pasted together in a rush. it seemed like it was skipping even though there are no scratches so it is just poor quality. i wouldn't recommend this.
