Chad Kroeger paid drum tech to put his member in a fan

 In this week's spate of wacky Nickelback news, the band that everybody hates but can't seem to escape have gone and done something weird ... again.

In this week's spate of wacky Nickelback news, the band that everybody hates but can't seem to escape have gone and done something weird ... again.

Frontman and rage-inducing Twitter fiend Chad Kroeger spoke to Men's Health, happily informing the world that he once paid a drum tech to put his penis in an electric fan.

"In a back room in the venue where we were playing, there was an old fan with a metal blade… And we paid the drum tech about 600 deustchmarks [to] stick his Johnson in the fan."

The much maligned Canadian continued, 

"He took the money… I can still hear the 'bleh-bleh-blehhhhhhh' of the blade slowly spluttering to a stop, and this blood-curdling scream. It was fantastic. Somebody had video footage of this somewhere that needs to be resurrected and shown at the guy's next birthday party."

Well, okay then. It seems every week without fail something like this turns up. Readers are encouraged to comment on such events.
