Brooks admitted, “At the beginning, I knew nothing about Nickelback. I knew ‘How You Remind Me’ and I remember I loved the tune at the time. I was one of those people that thought… I didn’t, didn’t agree with [Nickelback frontman] Chad’s [Kroeger’s] hairstyle, I didn’t agree with some of his dress sense. To be honest, looking back at some of my hairstyles and dress sense at the time, I had no right to throw shade, man… And that was really all I knew. ‘Cause I was [into stuff like] Biohazard, I was [into] Life Of Agony. I was [into] Metallica, which, ironically, these guys [in Nickelback], when they grew up, they, they were bang into Slayer and Anthrax and Metallica. And yeah, we went over and did this thing on ‘Feed The Machine’, and it quickly turned out, it looked like we [were] gonna do like a longer version about all of the albums. And then that morphed into, ‘Ah, let’s go back and shoot a bit more concert stuff.’ And then I found out the guys were going back to Hanna [Alberta, Canada], which is their hometown. And I’m, like, ‘What for?’ And they’re, like, ‘We’re gonna go play a gig?’ I’m like, ‘Really?’ ‘Yeah. The place we used to play when we were really, really young. It was like two and a half thousand people in Hanna. That’s it. And I was, like, ‘We should be going to film that.’ And then all of a sudden it just went from there. Every opportunity, there was a bit more to film or a bit more to explore. But, yeah, the controversy [surrounding Nickelback] definitely intrigued me, ’cause I was, like, ‘Well, there’s gotta be more to this that meets the eye.’ And man, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. They paved the way for everyone else to get their asses handed to them on the Internet, basically.”
