Nickelboozed: rock singer arrested for driving drunk

chad nickelback

Chad Kroeger - stupid-haired frontman in the world's worst power-ballad rockers Nickelback - was arrested last week for being drunk behind the wheel.

The singer was sliding his car along a British Columbia road when police decided they'd seen enough of his tomfoolery. They pulled him over, checked his breath and told him he was also driving too fast. So, like, gutted Chad.

He is now facing a (rather obvious) charge of drunk driving. Well I never indeeeed...

DiScuss: He'll probably get off though, eh? That's what happens: got money, no problems, drive however you like. Unless you're DMX of course, who's now in the clink (see our previous story). And, seriously now, is there a band in the world that sucks even more than Nickelback?



  • they get DMX then?

    cos the story was about a warrant. hjas some one capped his ass?

    • he's in prison...

      ...unless the bail money's been collected...

      • what shit film was DMX in again?

        i just remember it being shit and having someone like norris or seagal in.

        • I'm trying very hard to think of a band who suck harder than Nickelback

          Linkin Park draw, but no-one suck harder.

          And you can take that to the bank!

          • i think

            evanescence and rooster might like to join this race

            • creed?

            • ...

              Kubb are the de facto 'worst band' in any comparison. No band can be worse than Kubb. It used to be Linkin Park, but you can liven up any conversation with a well-placed Linkin Park lyric.

              • Is Kubb not really just one guy, though...?

                • !

                  It's a top 3 of Nickleback, Staind and Creed I think...in no order...

                  • ...

                    If we were to draw up a list of "bands" and determine from that list which were actual bands and which were songwriters with a bunch of scene-y session hacks hired to make up the numbers, we'd be on dangerous ground. Already the status of The Kooks is looking tenuous...

                  • watch out

                    for big style rooster coverage on drownedinsound

                    coming SOON

                    • Just add

                      3 Doors Down to those 3 and its complete.

                      Making it a four.

                    • Forgot about

                      Staind. But now I remember. God, they're shite.

                  • just heard

                    rooster on the radio and it was so fucking godawful i couldn't decide whether i wanted to die or i wanted them to die.
                    train are up there contending for champions league positions and i think the kooks have just climbed into a uefa spot however nickelback have run away with the title.
                    what ever happened to limp biscuit?

                    • WHAZZA?!

                      Wait a minute, are you guys saying Theory of A NickelCreed is more then one band? But I thought... but its all the same... I just dont understand why anybody would publish that garbage 3 times over!? And what is it with strippers and this crap? I actually walked away from boobies after putting up with 7 Theory of a NickelCreed songs in a row... Come on, you might be strippers but anybody that likes those plastic 12" heels must have some taste!

                  • has anyone else...

                    ..heard korns most recent material. awful.awfulawful.

                    i'd also vote for the various slipknot side projects, particularly the boring man rock of stone sour for 'worst band'.

                    my question is-

                    is radio friendly man rock like creed and nickelback better or worse then the current crop of 'emo' bands doing the rounds? its a fine line, i can't decide which genre is worse.

                    • nickeltwat

                      are one hit wonders, surely? up there with the fast food rockers then. DiS doesn't cover their drunken antics though do they? nooooooo...!

                  • Hey DumAss!

                    Who ever wrote this article about Chad Kroeger should go fuck themselves, but probably already do since they have had so much time to write such fictional bullshit. Perhaps get your story straight! DUH!
                    He hasn't been charged with anything stupid...it's being investigated!! There is a big difference...but since you have your head up your ass and probably had a couple of ribs removed to lick your own balls, you wouldn't know!!

                    • Best post ever

                      I love it when angry fans come all the way to DiS to make themselves look even more bin-raidingly scary than they already are by even existing.

                      • Pfft

                        Whatever

                          My theory about record companies paying/duping people into coming onto websites such as this and defending their comodoties still holds true...

                      • Not sure Lostprophets

                        are that bad, perhaps we should celebrate their adept and rahther convenient evolution from a boil ridden noise bucket dressed as 'skaters' into the same but with more market friendly haircuts.

                        They make me retch.......

                        and........

                        • oh my god.. wow!

                          Nickelback's ONLY fan has returned from hiding! Where were you? we were about to call the police! Don't worry us again... and make sure you stay visible this time as we've been having to point and laugh at cooper temple fans and it's not as fun.

                      • remember...

                        puddle of mudd?
                        were they nickelbacks side project or just another grunge dirge?
                        dreadful american bands are much worse than dreadful british bands. discuss. something about that californian whinge voice that grates on my soul, seems this new wave of emo has taken this baton further.

                          Puddle Of Mudd were there own 'band' as it were...

                        • Eddie Vedder

                          Invented that annoying voice. I'm not a Pearl Jamfan, but not gonna lump 'em in with Nickelback and such but Vedder voice seems the source of the mimicry/careers of countless diseased noises.

                          And Chris Cornell(?): Another founding father of bad voices.

                          • congratulations

                            to me, i saw chad croeger in the trafford centre one evening the weekend bon jovi were in town, him and his plastic fantastic wife, and i shouted "YOUR BAND SUCKS" and got carted away!

                            • That be some guerilla Mackayism.

                              Good work familyman.

                              • Sad.

                                This band have a huge ,huge fan base.You people would'nt know that.No.The only words you guys know,is words that can criticise Nickelback,

                                Your not fans,fine.But this excessive,repetitive critism is plain sad.

                                • Don,t think so !!

                                  Nickelback did,nt go near the Trafford Centre as they were only in town for the show on the night only and did,nt get into town until 2.20pm then went straight to the venue

                                  Oh yeah and he aint married either !!

                                  get your facts right

                                  Tosser !!!

                                    K...I agree with all the awesome shit on here. NB does suck! In fact, how can a band that has been here for years, only play for 75 mins ...as a headliner??? And only 12 songs?
                                    Everyone want a good lol, go to this Nickelback Forum, and read the posts. Some of these users, breathe, live, shit nb. They worship him, even though he's a Drunk driver, drug addict, and lord knows what else. I'm sure Child pornography will pop up, as he likes to invite under age girls into his bus and limos. Pictures are on the net, go look.
                                    Anyone who likes this band, seriously needs a smack, or gun shot, what ever would do more damage.
                                    Face it people..NB are has beens! If it wasn't for other bands being there, no one would go.
                                    I say shut down NB, and lets get a petition started to close this awful forum .....

                                      watch interviews with him..he's drugged all the time..he blows his roadie...give me a break. go back to the shitty nickelback forum and die

                                        Sounds like you have nothing better to do with your life then to post your negitative feelings about the bands that you dislike. Sounds to me that Mr. Kroeger is a smarter man then the one I'm replying too!!?? Are you jealous that he thought of the Idea of singing about how he feels, remember he is the one standing on stage and more then likly making more money in a week then you will probably ever see in your life time. Sounds like jealousy to me. As for people on a forum talking about a band they like is not a bad thing, why not you are on here talking about them are you not??? As for child pron what do you do on your spare time seen as you mentioned it first??... Maybe you should get a life that is worth posting about before you start bashing other peoples lives or don't you have one yet!!! Move on!!! Fine something better to do with your life, to post about!!!

                                                                  • Imbicile!

'Cause that's the term you use about NB in here...oh, and according to you...they "suck" too! But...NOOOOO....you don't hate them! You're just pissed 'cause you got banned from the forum! Also you ditch Chad for smoking once in a while....but you claim that people who likes NB should be shot (you're really a holy idiot, huh?).....how about starting with yourself! Okay, where you come from, it's not bad to shoot people...as long as they don't smoke bongs! You also claim to have "had" Chad...why? If you hate him so much!

ANd as soon as I saw all you foreign losers talking about his underwear, and hair colour, and type of food he eats, and if he's married that bitch yet. I decided enough is enough. You forum assholes dont even talk about the music. No one talks about gold records..oh yeah wait..do they have any??
                                                                      smoking once in awhile? oh yeah. like i'm sure it's only on occasion. More like every day, and now with his dui. fucker deserves to be in jail, like other normal people would be if they did half the shit that pansy did.
                                                                      you really need a life. check my own? hmm examples. And the funny thing is, i've pm'd you a couple times on the forum and you have been so nice writing back! ha ha ha.

                                                                        and that's MY opinion... I respect the fact you don't like them... even if I couldn't give a flying fuck... I'm not sad enough to go on the internet, sign up to a website and make my username "Kroegersucks"... and you call Nickelback fans sad?!

                                                                        oh and... just so you know... their newest album didn't just get gold...it's multi-platinum now... so shove that up your arse and smoke it
