Start Jamming...
The criteria for this has to be, is this something that if you and your buddies were drunk at 2.30 in the morning
and you were at your house, would you crank that up as loud as it would possibly go?
That, to me, is what causes it.
Hey, I'm Ryan.
And I'm Chad, and we are from the band Nickelback.
And we are about to play Jam or Not a Jam.
Here we go.
[Bbm] [Ab] Disguise a [Cm] veil.
[Ab] Okay, I would say [Bbm] it's a driving to work jam [Ab] for me.
[Cm] I like it.
You [Fm] didn't even follow the criteria.
No, [Bbm] that's your criteria, [Gm] it's not mine.
[Ab] No, I like, [Cm] actually, I like the, you know, [Ab] you had claps and so on.
I'm already on board.
[Ab] Claps and stomps.
And then it starts going, doop, [Fm] doop, doop.
Before, [Cm] before, I like that.
[G] Now you're thrown away.
[E]
I'm off to do a plan.
Yep, all right.
That's a jam, I like [Am] it.
[Dbm] It's back to old [Eb] school.
[Am]
[F] [Dm] There's claps.
[Db] I don't [D] know if it would jam to it.
I don't know if it would jam to it either, but it's good.
[G] It's not a bad song.
I hear David [Gm] Grace singing that one.
It's not him, [F] honestly, but [Dm] I've heard David Grace.
[Abm] It's not a [Db] jam.
It's a jam.
[A]
[G] Yeah, [D] [Bm] [D] [G] I [D] like it.
[Bm] [D] Yeah, I like, yeah.
He always has these little sing-along parts he always seems to find for [A] people to sing with.
It's been one week since you've been here. It's been.
I like it, it's a good song.
It's been.
I find a lot of people like to sing the [N] middle parts, the fast parts, and the [A] verses, I guess,
and it's like I can never keep up, so I'm crap when it comes to that.
She keeps chiming.
It's good.
It's classic.
The second you hear Stephen Page's voice, you know it's him immediately.
[Bm] I [G] don't speak Russian.
[D]
[A] It's very suave, [Bm] that Latin beat.
Like suave?
[G] Kind of like suave.
I was going to say [D] suave.
Maybe Rico?
It's good.
I [A] don't know if I could jam to it.
I don't speak [Bm] Russian.
I'm a terrible dancer.
I don't like to jam too much.
[G] It's not true.
He can salsa.
I actually like Spanish music, though.
I [A] think it's kind of cool.
I don't dance [D] to it.
Would you guys consider a Latin crossover?
[G] If it was believable?
If it was believable, possibly.
[F] The Gypsy Kings.
Carlos Santana and Ricky Martin.
I have done two songs with Carlos Santana.
Neither is which way.
Latin, [Gb] yeah.
[B] Jam.
Yeah, it's a jam, but would you crank that up with all your [Gb] buddies?
I have!
In the car?
Tons of times!
If it's your jam, I jam.
Not necessarily that ab of jam, [Ab] but so many, because that [B] one's been played.
[E] Dancing [B] Queen.
[A] We're talking about [B] this one in particular.
That's okay.
The whole thing.
The whole thing is jam.
I'm not bashing it.
It's just amazing songwriting and they're [Gb] great singers.
I'm not the only one that thinks so.
I think they've sold somewhere in the [B] neighborhood of [Ab] over 300 million singles or albums or whatever the hell it was.
At one point in time, they were making more money every day than Volvo.
Look it up.
[E] It's on Wikipedia, so it [Ab] must be true.
They would go and they would play places [Abm] like Russia and they would take goods in trade.
If they couldn't afford to pay them with CAD, they would take oil, they would do all kinds of things.
I'm not even kidding, this is all true.
That's not [D] why you like this album, is it?
No, I just find all that [E] fascinating.
Abba, we'll trade for oil.
No, but we want to come to Russia and we want to come play for the fans there.
And if you can't afford to pay us with rubles, we'll take whatever you got.
Oil and [Gb] pigs and oats, wheat, bread.
Truffle decaviar.
and you were at your house, would you crank that up as loud as it would possibly go?
