During an interview with The Bailey Show, Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger opened up about newer musicians who don't share his work ethic. Kroeger believes most musicians enter the music industry because they “don't wanna get a real job.” He explained, “They date hairdressers, because they actually have a job, and then they support them until they move on to their next hairdresser. And they're like, ‘Someday I'm gonna make it.' – and so when you get in the studio with these people and you realize like, wow, you are incredibly lazy, even when it comes to something you truly love. And that is just a crying shame.”
He continued, “I've been in this studio with hundreds of newer musicians, and they're like, 'Bro, bro, that was a solid 10 minutes, dude. Like, let's just go do something else.' So just because my work ethic when it comes to creating something or making something special, I'm like, 'You know, the world's gonna hear this, right? So do you just want a half-ass it or do you wanna make it good? Or do you wanna really put some time and effort into it and make it really good? Because the world is going to hear this.'”
