Silver side up nickelback album7/11/2023 ![]() A crowd of teens to thirtysomethings make a mighty noise, but it's not big enough for Nickelback. When he clambers up on to the massive drum riser, he must be 30ft tall. Kroeger even wears a big Stetson, making him bigger than everyone else. Guitarist Ryan Peake and bassist Mike Kroeger stand on enormous platforms. On stage, though, the problem of how to make average-sized rockers look larger than life in a vast arena has been easily surmounted. Sheffield Arena is woefully undersold, so a huge curtain has been carefully placed to conceal at least some of the big banks of empty seats. However, an element of smallness has made it into Nickelback's big world. You wouldn't expect anything else from a band with unfeasibly large sales: 4m in the US for their Silver Side Up album, 800,000 in the UK. E verything about Nickelback is huge - from their big rock, a more radio-friendly version of Nirvana, to the big truck that brings them to this venue.
