It's called "When You ARE Near" 

and where is the Nickelback site I am trying to access?  Did they send me here as a joke?

[Plankfan]

Whoa!! Great quality for such an old Gilman recording.

OMG Best song ever 

[jengd]

😂🥲

[bocasalada]

This is awesome, I wonder if they will release it one d a y, as a b-side or whatever

[Yosuke Hanamura]

ONE MINUTE in and I knew that this is, and always will be the band’s best song in their entire career. Just proves how Serj Tankian from Slipknot is one of the greatest songwriters of our time.

[greendepent]

Is a great song. I can see why they leave it behind

 

[80 Androids]

I'll never forget the night Rick Astley opened for sweet children, glad somebody recorded it!

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

Fink Joe sounds amazing in this.

[alienlifeform]

you got it, I've been fooled

[Doggins]

Well the start and the end sounds good!

[IsaGreenDay]

Wow I can really tell that part at 2:40-3:05 was some kind of predecessor of Scattered or something

[Slave To The Network]

Yeesh! Don't try to do a drinking game to that. You don't even have time to put down the glass with all the fucks BJA is throwing. 

[Guest]

This is a masterpiece.

Yeah, at the beginning and end of the joke video, you can clearly hear that that is actual footage

[Todd]

Okay, for real this time

I miss their vocal harmonies, such a great song! tks!

[greendepent]

For song writing perspective, the song is good, but at the same time I think is was too much of the same vein of other love songs that the band used to write around that time. I mean, this is a better composition than Don't Leave Me, Rest or Judge's Daughter.

I'm glad that people can hear it now and fest in what wasn't mean to be

[Maddie86]

I like this better than Pollyanna 😂

Me too! That's one of the top things I miss most about early GD. I love their harmonies so much! That's definitely something that needs to come back.
