No Rock And Roll Fun

OH MY, WHAT A WAG: Chad Kroeger might come across as a glum type, but it turns out that behind that grim exterior, there's a brightly coloured waistcoat, "character" socks, a Looney Tunes tie and a complete Colin Hunt just struggling to get out. Chad, it seems, is a bit of a "practical joker" (or, as we call it, a bit of a bully who attempts to disguise his attempts to humiliate his employees as being a bit wacky):

Recently, lead singer Chad Kroeger planned retaliation for a previous prank. It involved the band's bus driver and a lightning storm (which shook the tour bus) and resulted in incriminating photos of the band and crew sitting on top of bags of garbage, protecting themselves from lightning.
"This joke traveled for a good week and a half," Kroeger told The Associated Press during a break before the band's upcoming summer tour.

Oh, my. While we dry our watering eyes, let's just wonder about a man who thinks this isn't only worth doing in the first place, but then - teehee - tells the Associated Press about it and brags that he - giggle giggle - banged on about it for ten bloody days. We know from the records that he's clearly got no idea when something has been milked to death, but this surprises even us.
