Nickelback's Chad Kroeger Struggled With Savin' Me

(TeamRock Radio) Chad Kroeger has recalled his struggle to write Nickelback's 2006 hit single Savin' Me. The frontman says he "f***ing hated" the song until he finally came up with the chorus that ended up on the recording.

The track is taken from the band's album All The Right Reasons and went on to become one of their biggest hits. Kroeger and guitarist Ryan Peake took part in a fans' Q&A for Bandit Rock Radio where they mainly discussed new album No Fixed Address - interrupted at one point by a phone call from Kroeger's wife, Avril Lavigne.

"The one song that we have that was the hardest song we've ever written is off of All The Right Reasons, and it was Savin' Me," Kroeger says. "We were like, 'The verses are so good. This is good.' And the chorus was just sh*t.

"I kept just coming up with sh*tty chorus after sh*tty chorus. Until I sat there the one day and just played it, 'Show me what it's like.' And then all of a sudden it went boom." Read more here.
