Chad Kroeger had a wildly successful song on the ‘Spider-Man’ soundtrack

Although Chad Kroeger has enjoyed success with Nickelback, he has also made a name for himself as a solo artist.

In 2002, Kroeger wrote a song on the Spider-Man soundtrack, “Hero,” that he performed with Saliva frontman Josey Scott. The track ended up ranking high on charts worldwide. Kroeger later shared that he released “Hero” on his own because his Nickelback bandmates rejected the song.

“We’re a democracy,” he told Men’s Health in 2012. “If some of the other guys hear this stuff and it’s just so weird, and it’s in two different time signatures, I can’t force that on them. It may fulfill a part of me, but I also have to write for the group.”

Kroeger added, “I don’t think anybody in the world would say ‘Hero’ doesn’t sound like a Nickelback song. But the guys didn’t see it. They were just like, ‘No.’ Especially Ryan [Peake, the lead guitarist]. He was like, ‘I don’t think it’s a Nickelback song. I really don’t.’”
