Editorial Review:
This unauthorized documentary is the story behind the success of Nickelback. The fresh sounds of Nickelback have been a while coming and with the help of endless touring this authentically Canadian band have finally hit the big time. The guys have their
Unauthorized: This Side Up Reviews:
By Far The Worst Music DVD I've Seen Yet!!!! 
2005-06-07 - I bought this on sale for $7 and thought I would give it a try. Within the first 30 seconds I knew I made a mistake. This is the biggest piece of crap I've ever seen! I didn't even finish it and plan on throwing this DVD in the trash because I'm embarrassed to have it in my collection.
This DVD is a complete waist of time and money! Do NOT buy this! Don't even waist your time watching it! Don't even watch it to see what all the fuss is about if you're wondering "Just how bad could this really be?" Trust me and all the other reviewers, your better off doing something else with your time.
For Sale: $1.00 plus shipping
2004-05-23 - Alright, so maybe a dollar is a little steep for this, so just send shipping costs and you can have it.I couldn't even watch it all. It's unauthorized because no director, producer or Nickelback themselves would authorize its' release. No music,terrible documentary and not worth .10 cents. This is the worst DVD in my collection, but, I only own 674 of them ! This is only my opinion though, buy mine and decide yourself!
Wow....
2004-04-17 - 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!
Disappointing, at best. What a fraud!
2003-11-21 - 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!).
Big Disappointment For Nickelback Fans
2003-11-11 - I purchased this video thinking I would be getting more information about my favorite band in the world and be privy to some interviews never seen before. Boy was I let down!!!
This was a very poorly-made so-called documentary on the band. It seems it's more of a documentary on the people who knew the guys way back when or who were familiar with the Vancouver music scene when the guys were getting started. In fact there was very little about the guys personally, and what little they showed of the guys was not all that new.
This has to be one of the biggest duds ever, and if I could, I would demand my money back from these mindless "documentarians". It is so not worthy of the one star rating minimum we were required to give - I would have given it a -10!
If you really want to see the Nickelback boys in all their glory and "rocking-ness", you have to (and I mean HAVE TO) see Live At Home! Don't waste your money or time on this worthless drivel. Thank God this one was labelled "Unauthorized" because it would have been an embarrassment for the boys.
