〕 }} ''Curb'' is the debut studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback. Originally self-released by the band on May 1, 1996, the album was later reissued by Roadrunner in 2002, with a different album cover. The album was named after a friend of lead singer Chad Kroeger's, Kirby. "He came over a hill in the middle of nowhere on a dirt gravel road and had a head-on collision with a car," Kroeger recalled. "He stumbled out of the car bleeding and bashed up pretty bad, and he opened up the (of the other ) car, and it's his girlfriend. She snuck out at the same time, was going to see him and he killed her on the back of a dirt road. I tried to imagine what they could possibly feel like, and that's where that song comes from." The songs "Where?", "Fly", "Left" and "Window Shopper" had previously been released on the band's first extended play ''Hesher''. While "Where?" and "Left" were re-recorded, "Fly" and "Window Shopper" were unaltered. "Just Four" was later re-recorded and released as "Just For" on the band's third album, ''Silver Side Up'', in 2001. When reissued in 2002, ''Curb'' entered the American ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart at number 182. The album received its first certification 14 years after its release date; it was certified Gold in Canada as of March 2010. The majorly distorted guitar riffs and raw vocals from ''Curb'' are not as present in later releases. "Fly" was released as the only single from the album, in July 1996, for which the band's first promotional music video was also recorded. It showed the band playing at what appeared to be a party at a house. This was the only full-length album by the band to feature original drummer Brandon Kroeger. == Album covers == The re-released version of the album (2002) has a road on the cover, whereas the original 1996 version shows a wrecked car on the cover. The original is an extremely sought-after collector's item. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curb (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
