Contributions to My Darkest Days

Sorry if I am not doing this right, I was hoping to request a mention to Chad Kroeger's collaboration with My Darkest Days on the single "P***star Dancing" (not sure if I am aloud to write that uncensored). He also appears in the music video. It is verified, you can pretty much just look it up if this video on vevo isn't enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdaKwt5cHEk

Bio

this article needs more information between him being born and joining a cover band, unless he came out of the womb strait onto the stage, which is highly doubtful —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.177.71.19 (talk) 14:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

can someone put a redirect to this if someone types chad kroger?

Done. See your talk page. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 04:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the Vancouver Sun say his real name is Chad Turton? --> I read the same in my local Deltan newspaper. Apparently Kroeger is a stage name.

This article should mention he was voted 'Ugliest man in Rock' back in 2003. What an award!! (oh I am serious by the way) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.255.133 (talk) 02:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He was ranked 6th in most usexiest men in 2003...to be precise.^[1]45.114.195.42 (talk) 20:03, 12 November 2015 (UTC)Nosferatu_Alucard[reply]

Chad once urinated in an alley in Barrie Ontario fearing he would be mobbed by all his fans even tho the club was empty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.47.212.2 (talk) 14:32, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chad Kroegers Family

Chad has recently been engaged with no kids yet...until he met Gabrielle, his current fiance, who is now expectin their first child.

I pretty much suspect that there is an error in including Chad in Transgender people. It's just a hunch on my part and I don't have a problem with anyone that truly is transgender. I just suspect that it is incorrect in this case. Niktuh 00:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Niktuh[reply]

Good, it looks like someone just removed the transgender bit. Thanks! Niktuh 00:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Niktuh[reply]

wtf?

Ummm, I thought Chads fiancee (now wife) was called Marianne and they have no kids? And his real name is Turton but he has used Kroeger since childhood as it is his step-father and half-brothers surname.The Neverdoll 12:57, 12 April 2007 (UTC)Kim[reply]

We need a section on the bio panel stating his marriage to Avril Lavigne and his divorce to Marianne. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamwall1989 (talk • contribs) 23:29, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I want to know the truth?? Maybe he can answer that for us. NO way, is he??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.153.228.129 (talk) 02:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Death?

What? He is dead? -24.70.42.17 03:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like just vandalism to me. news.google.com gives nothing. I removed it because: Controversial material of any kind that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous. 24.217.155.3 04:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chad just CAN'T be dead. That would ruin my whole life. He's to hot to be dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.186.125.172 (talk) 01:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

dont worry chad is alive and well you can tell because nickelback is just about to release a new album called here and now — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.243.255.27 (talk) 00:24, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

hes not deAD! alk]]) 01:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Name

If he was "born as Chad Robert Turton" as the article states, then why does the info box give his birth name as Chad Robert Kroeger? Katie1971 (talk) 12:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC) he uses that name because it is his step dad's and half brother's surname — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.243.255.27 (talk) 00:26, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Talent

chad is an amazing singer. and that doesn't even begin to explain it. and given that he can sing really good, i bet thats why hes the singer. hmmm....i'm not sure, its just a hunch. he also has an amazing tallent of looking hot, too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.181.158.4 (talk) 00:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know if he ever lived in texas or if he just fakes a texas accent when he sings? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.198.96.46 (talk) 20:19, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

More "homosexual" vandalism removed.

I erased this edit, by the user Bobmarleyblowsblls and placed a warning on his talk page. Not sure if I have the authority to do that, but I think it was the right thing to do. I can't imagine he's here to do much good, simply on the basis of his username and that edit. Thanks. --Lewis512 (talk) 18:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drunkeness

Removed an incredibly badly worded and vague comment about the expected appeal. Facts only please, not conjecture. At this point he's guilty until proven innocent, or appealed otherwise.

Unreliable source

I removed material attributed to this source. Are there more RS for this? Thank you, --Tom 21:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion?

Chad Kroeger's page deserves to be bigger than this, there's nothing even hear about his signature Les Paul... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.210.143.50 (talk) 20:20, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The coupling of Kroeger and Lavigne, two talentless and tasteless hacks, is expected to produce a child. This child will be the Anti-Christ as was foretold in the book of Revelation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.95.108 (talk) 01:38, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
