From All the Right Reasons to "All the Small Things," reappraised rockers Nickelback have unveiled a cover of blink-182's most popular hit.

Nickelback performed the song last night (June 14) at Montreal, QC's Bell Centre. It wasn't a full-length cover, but rather an intro to "Animals," the 2005 single from All the Right Reasons.

A 49-second video captured by Josiah Hughes (a former Exclaim! editor, now of the podcast-turned-Substack 155 Newsletter) shows Nickelback performing the song with a little extra alt-rock gusto while mostly sticking to the mall-punk peppiness of the original. Guitarist Ryan Peake handles lead vocals, rather than Chad Kroeger, although you'd never know the difference from his yarling performance.

Watch the video down below. "All the Small Things" didn't make the cut in our recent list of blink-182's 10 best songs.
