Avril and Chad out together in May.
I feel like whenever Avril Lavigne is dating someone, we know about it. Or maybe those dudes were just the tip of the iceberg. Lavigne broke up with Brody Jenner in January after two years of blissful mutual douchiness. She started dating Brody soon after she split from her then-husband, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, although she was hooking up with Brandon Davis prior to Brody. It was just in June that we heard that she was seeing Marilyn Manson, which was either not true or short-lived. So it’s a bit of a surprise to hear that Avril is engaged to Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of Nickelback. People mag claims they’ve been dating for six months, which makes me wonder how they kept it under the radar. I’m thinking they haven’t been together that long. Here’s the surprise engagement announcement:
Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger’s relationship has been so quiet that few even knew they were dating. Now, after a six-month courtship, the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married, Lavigne’s rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger, 37, first got together in February to co-write a song for Lavigne’s upcoming fifth studio album.
“A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together,” a Lavigne pal tells PEOPLE.
On Aug. 8, Kroeger popped the question, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond sparkler.
“He makes her so happy,” a family source tells PEOPLE. “Both of their families could not be more excited.”
It will be Kroeger’s first trip down the aisle, and the second marriage for Lavigne, who split from Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2009. She had also dated Brody Jenner.
I googled “14 carat engagement ring” and came up with Hilary Duff’s whopping diamond ring, that looks like it would be hard to lift. That thing is a honker. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t turn it down, but I would get a dream house for that money, instead of wearing it on my hand and worrying that it would get stolen. I also spent some dreamy moments looking over diamond engagement rings on Blue Nile’s website, and they have a 15 carat diamond for 1.13 million and a 12 carat diamond for 1.69. (The more expensive one has better clarity.) So it looks like the dude from Nickelback gave Avril Lavigne a ring that was worth at least 1.2 million dollars. I would wonder how he came up with the money, but I guess Nickelback had some hits last year that I barely heard of and they’ve been touring and stuff.
Well Avril and the Nickelback guy seem perfect for each other. They’re both Canadian singers, they both had their best hits in the late 90s/early 2000s, and they probably share the same inflated sense of self worth. I jest, sort of, I think Avril has grown as a person and isn’t as insufferable as she used to be. Plus I know little about Chad Kroeger, except that when I type “Chad Kroeger” into google, the words “douche” and “douchebag” come up as automatic search suggestions. See – perfect for each other!
Hilary Duff with her 14 carat engagement ring in 2010. So when are we going to see Avril’s? I predict a photo op soon.
Avril last night. She didn’t wear her ring!

Say it with me now: WHAT. THE. F#CK.
Those are my thoughts exactly. This is so random.
Huh?
Good for them!
A match made in music hell, good luck to the tone deaf pair.
So true. Nickleback is always my comparison when I’m trying to explain how bad a band is. As in “They’re down at Nickelback levels of awful”. And everyone instantly understands how bad that is.
Words cannot express how much I hate Nickleback.
@MorticiansDoItDeader:
Ditt – f*ing – o
MorticiansDoItDeader: +1000000000.
I think they’re a perfect match…both disgusting.
+1. They can spit out their vows together.
while wearing matching ed hardy original designs and side ways trucker hats. think theyll register at Hot Topics?
douchery all around.
I just read somewhere that Canada now allows same-sucks marriage. lol
Whatever. They look like they’re in love so bless them.
^ Hilarious!!
Can you imagine if they had a kid that went into music? That kid would be a blackhole of musical suck so dark and hopeless the world would never escape. Shudder!
Lmao at black hole of musical suck. That could be comment of the day! 🙂
LMFAO! Black Hole of Musical Suck. Awesome.
LOLOLOL
Great comment, lol. Other than that?
I. So. Don’t. CARE.
My first thought: “EWWWWW,” but then I couldn’t figure out which one of them I was “ewwwing” for. Thus, this is a perfect match, i guess.
Oh girl, you are just 27, divorced, and now engaged after 6 months? What a great idea.
As a Canadian, I can say the following:
It’s like they took two of Canada’s most obnxious ‘artists’ (Biebs is still #1) and said to themselves “How could they get more annoying?”.
Chad generally looks like a dirty creep, and Avril’s that little ‘punk princess’ who refused to ever grow up.
Please don’t pro-create. That’s all I ask.
“Please don’t pro-create. That’s all I ask.”
+100000000000000
I don’t think it’s too much to ask, really. I at least had some fondness for Derek Whibley if THEY had pro-created it wouldn’t have sucked the way it will if these two do.
+ 1….. the poor child wouldnt have a hope in hell to have any musical talent!
As a Canadian, I totally heart your comments.
Yes, as a Canadian, as soon as I heard this news I expected the country to all simultaneously barf.
ugh, I hope they move.
As another fellow Canadian, I second your request that they do not procreate. Here’s to a lifetime of them making terrible music together.
That was the first thing I thought, please do not reproduce.
I forgive you Canada, for producing these two and Bieber. You gave the world Margaret Atwood. ^-^
It’s like all of our Canadian shame put into one couple.
Edited to add: I once threw a drink in Chad Kroeger’s lap. And yes, I mention it whenever I can. Douche.
I would too!! omg, that is awesome…he is so nasty.
YAY! You have now been added to my list of idols.
My new idol has been found, and her name is Roma.
I had some friends who went to the Nickleback concert in Moncton a little while back. They asked if I wanted to go. I laughed steadily for like 5 minutes, before gasping out a ‘no!’.
I’ve since been re-thinking my friendship lol
Roma wins forever!
I’ve been to Moncton:) That’s a town I never expected to hear/see again.
@OTiff
Haha, I never have been myself! I’m from small town Nova Scotia. It was a 6 hour drive for them since we live on the Southern Coast. Only ever been through most of my province, Toronto and Montreal airports, Washington airport, and Orlando.
@originaltiff:
I’m from Canada and I really dislike Moncton/ New Brunswick as a whole. I really hope you have been to other Canadian cities so you know we have more to offer than NB.
Roma I am putting up a shrine in your honour this very day, you have done a great service to humanity.
Roma FTW!!!
Roma, I bow down to your greatness and excellent aim.
I don’t consider myself a hero; merely an average citizen, doing what one can for the sake of what is right and good.
They decided to move to the US, so thank you from this side or the border, Roma!
What did he do to deserve that? I know his band is lame but I don’t think that deserves a drink thrown on him. What am I missing?
I agree with Isa I live in South Africa and here Nickelback’s Music is played a lot and its not as bad as people are making to be. He hasn’t done anything to be classified as a douche but Avril on the other hand is something different, I just wish she could grow up already. I think she got lucky when she first started out with music because I just can not understand her appeal even though I love skating.
Constance:
I’m not his biographer or anything, but it’s common knowledge in this country that he’s pretty fond of driving drunk.
For those who are interested in why people are anti-Chad:
I specifically threw a drink in his lap because he wouldn’t stop getting handsy even after I asked him to stop. I feel a drink in the lap was more than appropriate.
And as to why people dislike him in general; he is a douche, he’s rude to people, his music sucks and as mentioned before, he likes to drink and drive. Girls, did I miss anything?
Nope.
I believe the court will agree and deem him Doucho Supremo.
Okay, thanks! The drinking and driving was enough for me. I don’t blame you one bit. I honestly had no idea. I figured people were hating him to just hate him.
NICE!My sister’s friend made out with Chad when he was in town for a concert once. And she BRAGS about it! If that happened to me I think I would keep it to myself.
Douchebag Wedding with skulls ed hardy and pink and black shit to match along woth HORRIBLE music
This. The thought of all that faux punk vileness makes me want to heave.
Hahhaha, yep!!
Wait a minute…there’s no picture of the ring? That must mean this is all a conspiracy and they’re not really engaged!
Let’s hope so. I gotta be honest, I cannot lie. I am a fan of Chad Kroeger… : – )
Wow… I had no idea that he finally cut off that awful stringy hair of his. He looks so much better now.
He looks a lot less like a truck stop rapist now.
Harsh, but God, he looked so dirty before.
*props- “truck stop rapist”.
exactly.
Lol I know. How totally random? They both make terrible music so I guess they make sense in that regard. They always have terrible videos on vh1 and on the adult contemporary charts and I’m sure they tour a lot so I can see him being able to afford the ring. His voice sounds like he’s constipated and I never understood her appeal! But Congrats for 3-5 years tops. I really thought her and Brody had gotten back together lol so this is weird.
I think 14 carats is wayyyy tooo much. So ostentatious and Hilary’s especially looks fake and gaudy. I’m sure you can get something smaller that looks even more elegant. Bigger isn’t always better ladies 🙂
I agree hoya_chick, a diamond that big just looks fake to me. I wouldn’t want one that big, I think a few carats look much prettier and more than impressive. 14 carats is just overkill.
As for their engagement…I’m Canadian and didn’t even know they were dating! They are both obnoxious so it’s a good match. I doubt they will last. Seems like they both have pretty huge egos and that never bodes well for a relationship. I didn’t even recognize him with his hair short.
Such an unholy alliance negates my belief in a benevolent god…. Think I may have to join Xenu and his merry band of morons … CoughcoughTommyGirlCough… Cue the lightning/smoting in 3….2….1….
Ewwkay.
Hee! I love this word!!
UGH this is breaking my head. they are both gross.
Why do people ever get rings that big? They always look fake and disgusting and are such a humongous waste of money. think of how much good could be done in this world with that money. I WOULD turn it down!
Love is certainly blind…and deaf it seems.
this really made me piss my pants 😀
But the real question here is: DID HE DESIGN THE RING WITH A FRIEND???
ha ha ha ha ha!! TFF!
Nickleback guy was voted ugliest male musician back in the day…mean but sort of appropriate. He used to come into a bar I worked at on the WA state/Canadian border and yeah, highly unattractive & douchey. He wanted only the finest vodka AND he wanted the whole bottle. See that over there, Doucherback guy? That’s called a liquor store, run along now.
meh, they’re both annoying and I didn’t realize either was still making music. I preferred it that way..
How can you respectfully refer to avril as a rocker? Ugh. Neither one of the can write worth a damn. I bet everything they wrote, rhymes and over-emotes!
I think they make a cute couple. I mean I’m no huge fan of either of them, but I’m also no hater of either one of them.
I hope this is just a hoax… some “thing” Avril is doing for attention. FML.
Gross. She is too old for her “rebellious teen” schtick and Nickelback is the worst band ever…NO DEBATE.
This^^^
I know I’m in the minority, but I like some of Nickelback’s songs.
Good luck to them.
Me too Toot 🙂
i love their music especially photograph. did not realise he was so hated, i should check that out. ( i still hate coldplay though, horrible music)
I like them together….I think she is annoying but he seems ok – am I missing something obvious why people don’t like him? They seem cute together. My husband dated his ex for three years – we dated for 6 months and were engaged. Sometimes you just know. I know…I’m being way to nice this morning.
Nickelback was huge back in the day. They still sell well when touring. As long as he managed his money well, I’m sure he’s quite wealthy and a million dollar ring was a nothing but a drop in the bucket.
Yep, and Chad writes all their stuff so he’s not hurting in the money department.
Brody didn’t take her back because she refused to shower.So new guy totally fits her.
I swear to god i read ‘fist her’ .
ahaahahahaaa
As a Canadian (that seems like a good way to start this off) I fully agree that Avril is an obnoxious pose-hard who never seems to grow up. As for Chad, I really don’t get why everyone hates him and his band. I’m no fan, seriously, but why all the hate? There’s a plethora of sh*tty music out there, Nickelback can’t actually be the worst, right?
Would someone care to explain this, please (and thank you)?
Because Chad writes the same music over and over (same safe tune, samey lyrics). He follows the same formula which is frowned upon in rock music (in pop music, that would be fine). It’s called money-grab.
Nowadays, they’re just hated because it’s easy (just like hating the Black Eyed Peas). It’s fashionable to do so. I personally have no issues with them. I don’t like them and I don’t hate them. I just don’t understand why, for the same reasons I mentioned, Maroon 5 isn’t getting the same vile. Chad isn’t as douchey as Adam Levine.
Yeah I agree that there are tons of sucky bands making $$$ off of corporate rock/frat boy rock and Nickelback def. gets the brunt of the criticism, probably because they’re one of the most well-known bands doing that same repetitive schtick and pretty much defined the corporate rock genre. It might be unfair but it doesn’t make them suck any less.
“Maroon 5 isn’t getting the same vile. Chad isn’t as douchey as Adam Levine…”
Is anyone as douchey as Adam Levine?
I’m no Nickelback fan, that’s for sure, but Levine’s voice makes my ears bleed.
Thanks for answering my Q. you guys…asking nicely seems to pay off : )
I’m in agreement with a lot of you; so much music is pre-packaged and “recycled” over and over again. I just can’t believe Adam Levine and Maroon 5 have come out of this relatively unscathed; it’s so unfair to me!
There’s something really skeevy about his music. I just get a bad feeling when listening to it. There’s the odd song that is semi-tolerable, but ALL their songs sounds the same- and so do a lot of bands. But there’s something just skeevy about them that makes me feel disgusting.
I think some of it is that they put on a front as a big rock group, but like Adrien said, they follow the pop format. They try so hard to sound like serious rock musicians but don’t pull it off.
AND most of their fans are tools.
Exactly Erinn. All of their songs sound exactly the same and I find his voice so grating. I don’t know about him being a douche like others have said because he is not someone I hear about or care to follow. There is just something about their band/music that I do not like and I would definitely put Maroon 5 in that category too.
There are reasons to hate any band but I don’t think that adhering to typical rock structure is one of them. A: it’s ubiquitous and even the most ‘authentic’ rockers visit with formatting frequently B: it persists because it works, I don’t want to hear ‘Nuthin’ but the four nine-minute drum solo hits per jazz fusion phantom tracks for eighty minutes’ all that much.
ugh. nasty.
I´m her age and when she first came out I really dispised her. She did not play her instruments (well she could strum a G-chord, big deal)and never wrote a single song by herself, yet always claimed so.
It bugged me as I was in a school band and we were playing our fingers bloody and really working on some good songs
(no hits of course 🙂 ) and I was so angry that a phony like her would make it.
Skipping forward, these days I know that all “artists” do that to get more credibility. I´m not down with it to the day, but I kind of shrug my shoulders and I´m like “this is how the industry works”
Thanks Celebitchy for tearing up some old wounds again.
😀
Just add a Beiber- Japsen union and the 4 Canadian horsemen of the apocalypse are complete.
HAHAHAHA poor Canada.
Holy Cats, I must be a Bad Canadian because I don’t know who ‘Japsen’ is. Some cultural edu-ma-cation is needed on my end, I guess.
omg she’s engaged to a guy with frosted tips! So 90’s
i thought the same thing! he looks like that lame guy who write the “he’s just not into you” book. and she makes me all kinds of stabby.
MODS: i used to be original kate, but i changed my email as well as my name here. i am not commenting under multiple names and will be snappyfish fromo now on. thanks!
ooo I like snappyfish. It’s very… well…snappy 🙂
Dear Canada,
STOP.
(No but seriously can some of you Candians explain how you let this infamy happen)
I am certain this unholy union was predicted in Revelations. This could only be worse if they were having a threesome with the lead singer of Creed. Their child will be the AntiChrist…I mean, think of it for a second. Noone would expect the AntiChrist to be Canadian.
AVRIL LAVIGNE IS ENGAGED TO CHAD KROEGER. THIS IS NOT A TEST. THIS IS A REAL EMERGENCY. PACK YOUR SURVIVAL KITS AND HIDE THE CHILDREN BEFORE THE INEVITABLE DUET HITS THE AIRWAVES. THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY WARNING. GODSPEED.
It’s the same way Niki Minaj was allowed to happen. All you need as some idiot fans, and you’re golden.
LMFAO!
That is some seriously funny shit!
LOL +1000000
LMAO YES to everything you said! And creed? OMG. What ever happened to Scott Stapp? And his Jesus complex?
Right after you explain the continued success of TLC.
Let’s look before we leap.
@Hoya, SSSSSHHHH! Do not invoke the name S-T-A-P-P. If it hears you it may return to terrorize us all (and I’d rather face a horde of flesh eating zombies than listen to anymore Creed).
When I was in college, I had some friends who had a faux cover band called Crinderback that they would break out when they got drunk enough. They were a Creed, Hinder, Nickelback cover band. It was hilarious.
I do love some Creed though. “Well I just heeeearddddddd, the news todaaaaaaaaaaaaay……..”
This is best thread of the day. Hands down! Sorry Mort, I hope he doesn’t read CB lol.
@ Brown, what happened to that cover band? I’d go see them! Sounds totally awesome “Seeemmmss my lifeeee is gonnna channnngeee….”
I forgot about Hinder. I wonder what Theory Of A Deadman is up to these days?
I’m going to send you my doctor’s bill Crystal. I think I busted something laughing just now.
Scott Stapp of Creed was a guy I loved to hate. Many a drinking a game was begun because of Creed back at the height of their popularity.
@hoya, we can only hope.
They all sound like Cher.
One thing they both have in common (aside from their tacky Ed Hardy douchiness) is that they are both OVER. And, yes, please don’t have children. Yuck.
I think the Ed Hardy shirts they are wearing were a gift with purchase, when you bought an Ed Hardy fragrance…Seriously, we had something where I work very similar to what they are wearing..LOL….And, yes.. I am Canadian, shocked and appalled :-
The wedding attire will a horrible combination of Ed Hardy and Hot Topic…. Can I sue them for visual AND auditory assault??? Think that’d fly in the courts?
Sweet Jesus! Does she ever take a lil’ break from men? And these two?? Random much?!
Admittedly, I’ve had the same thought about her as I have had with Billie Piper and the thought is this: Dayum, how many times does a girl need to get engaged before she’s 30?
What a bizarre pairing. Seems to me they’re crazy to rush into marriage after dating all of five minutes.
I was surprised to hear he’s only 37. Avril still looks like she’s in her teens, so it’s like looking at Bieber with his dad.
Also? I hope they don’t collaborate in the studio. The resulting mess would be…wrong on so many levels.
Bizarre? I don’t know, something about this almost makes too much sense.
Violet, it is hopeless. Think Ozzy & Lita ( “Close My Eyes Forever” ) if you want to know what we all have to look forward to.
@Jo, I just don’t see it. I mean, they’re both Canadian “musicians” (sorry, I had to use quotes since I can’t stand most of their songs) and they both have a rep for being annoying but that doesn’t seem like much to base a marriage on!
@Lee, too funny. Avril is definitely a drama queen and, from the interview I read, he totally caters to her every whim. It’ll be interesting how long this lasts. Personally, I thought she and Brody were a good match (i.e., young, self-involved and shallow).
@Violet: Well, not a lasting one, but…
I call BS. They are just trying to create hype around their new song…and it worked.
She still looks like a kid. I actually like some of nickelback’s songs. I like Avril’s voice but it seems like she doesn’t have a strong musical direction.
Here’s their first picture as an engaged couple from Hello Canada. It’s a pretty huge ring, looks like a pear shaped diamond:
http://avrilmidia.com/fotos/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=38802#top_display_media
Their smiles look so fake…
This picture makes her look like a child bride. SO skeevy. And the age difference is not a big deal in my book but she looks like a child!!
P.S. I’ve never met a Chad that wasn’t a total douche bag. And his mom and step-dad live in the town that i used to live. He has a rep as a douch and still drinks and drives all the time. Getting caught and charged didn’t stop him.
Her eye liner is dreadful and he looks like a pug
He’s got Ross teeth!!!
This is why i read this site the comments are just too good and I agree with everyone To think that a few days ago RObert Plant of the mighty zep turned 64 golden locks and all and now we have to talk about Nickelcrap as a faux band. (remember when 40,000 people signed a petition to NOT have them play at last Thanksgiving’s Day halftime show?) WHat is the world coming to?
All these two need is Kanye and Lardassian as best man/maid of honor and we could have the suckiest wedding of all time.
As much as I dislike the band, I thought that petition was just dumb and mean-spirited. It also got them a lot of pity press turning the whole mess into a net gain for the band, so mission definitely not accomplished.
@TheOneAndOnlyOnly … Led Zepplin, oh how I love) you… Thanks for the memory 🙂
And, this IS the best site. I only wish @Liberty would do a dialogue of these two!
Speaking of, we just watched Robert Plant’s tv concert last weekend. His new band did some of their music and remixes of Led Zeppelin songs.
He sounded great. And it was interesting to see how they tackled the old stuff.
Some clips of the concert at the link.

When I heard this I was thinking Seriously? WTF? It must be a publicity stunt. But then, after reading all the crap about this couple, I realize its true.
What surprises me is I totally thought that Chad Kroeger would marry a Playboy playmate because he comes across as such a douche. Actually, he is. I was at a concert in Vancouver last year and he was there with two plastic, barbies, hanging out stage-side drinking and had these girls fawning all over him. I must say he gave off the scent of eau de douche. I had never really thought that of him until then.
I have a friend who claims that he bragged at some point about having sex with 15 year old girls and how when he got arrested for drunk driving in Vancouver a few years ago, he acted like it was cool. Because she and I could argue for hours over it, I never bothered challenging her opinion. However, I never found anything, anywhere ever that he bragged about having sex with teenagers or when he thought drunk driving was cool. But she got it from somewhere so…
Avril is adorable. She’s obnoxious and I’ve seen her in concert and she’s pretty fun. I still don’t think that she should be rushing into this marriage given the fact that it is entirely likely she will have 2 divorces under her belt before she hits 30.
I just really find it a very odd match. She seems like she would be his little sister.
Oh well…like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of the celeb lives…
Who cares about the ring? Thank God Chad cut that long hair! It looked terrible on hom, not flattering at all.
this is the most random of pairings. He’s so unattractive too.
I thought he was already married? I remember watching Cribs and hating myself for loving his house. I thought how could such a douche have such a pretty house. Some girl was featured with him on the segment.
Don’t care for either of them. On the plus side at least they found each other (so no one else has to be cursed to live with them and their awful music).
He had the best house EVER on cribs …
The Canadian Brangelina, tbh.
Oh wow, don’t make us sound that low… we’d never compare these two foolish people to Brangelina. At least the Brange has some talent, and does a lot of charity/human rights work.
I’m being sarcastic. These two punks don’t deserve to shine the Brange’s shoes.
OH THANK GOD.
I was really hoping it was sarcastic, but I’m at work and multi-tasking haha. I just know there are a lot of people that crazy so seriousness was possible.
Definitely. Someone on Youtube said that Nickelback was the best rock band to emerge in the last 40 years…and I’m positive they were being serious.
No joke, on facebook, there is a link that shows you how to weed out your friends list. You click on it, and it shows you all your friends who have “liked” Nickelback, and the option to delete them right then and there. Genius.
LOL perfect. I’m embarrassed for anyone that openly likes that band or Avril Lavigne.
I’m sure this will end well!
But seriously, how random is this? I thought she and Brody had gotten back together?
I googled Nickelback and on the Wikipedia page it states that
” Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, ranking as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and is the 2nd best selling foreign act in the U.S. behind The Beatles for the 2000s.Billboard ranks them the top Rock group of the decade and their hit song “How You Remind Me” was listed as the top Rock song of the decade as well as the 4th song of the decade. They were listed number 7 on the Billboard top artist of the decade list and they have 4 albums that were listed on the Billboard top albums of the decade.”
Perhaps their music isn’t to some people’s taste but they can’t have achieved success by sucking.
If a tree falls in the forest, and there’s no one there to hear it, have we found the perfect location for a Nickleback concert? 😉
Once upon a time Nickelback decided to play some rock in a festival in Portugal…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HgbjZVi1Oo
Once upon a time portuguese people decided to play some rock on Nickleback.
I obviously think this was a terrible attitude from the portuguese crowd, but I admit I laughed a bit.just a little bit 😡
What the crowd did was wrong, but for the record I would be pissed if I paid to go to a metal festival and Nickleback was playing.
Exactly! What were the festival organizers thinking?
The portuguese crowd is usually super intense and a lot of bands actually enjoy coming here, what happened was shocking and sad…
I can’t help it, when the rock hit the side of his head and his horrible hair flew up I laughed…hard. I think part of the reason I hate Nickelback so much is that everyone over 40/people who like country think they hung the moon or something. It’s detestable and my mom just can’t seem to “get” why my boyfriend and I think they’re terrible. I just don’t understand it….they came of age when there was good music for gods sakes!
I totally understand,they simply suck! I listen to rock music like 4 hours a day,sometimes more. I have some music knowledge and skills,that does not make me an expert or justify my opinion but…come on,thats not rock! thats mainstream pop with electric guitars =/ it was a bad situation,but they should’ve known better themselves…if you don’t wanna be eaten by the crocodiles don’t swim in the river.
Oh, dang!
It reminds me of when Justin Timberlake was performing at that benefit concert in Toronto. Geez, I can’t believe the storm in a teacup that was SARS was almost ten years ago, but seeing those rocks flying reminded me of that show that The Rolling Stones put together to tell the world that Toronto was still cleaner than anything you would pull out of your ear on any given day.
I remember seeing JT singing and dancing and then thinking that his new steps were awfully jerky and strange. When the camera zoomed in, it turned out that he wasn’t dancing, but that audience members were throwing bottles of water at him–at a free benefit concert. Man, everyone I know was so embarrassed by that because it was so woefully ungrateful and classless. Yeah, a little song and dance that’ll be forgotten by nightfall was never going to set the world afire and shut down the WHO fixation that was plaguing the city that year, but that’s how you say, ‘thanks for supporting the bad PR-blighted city’?
Fools. If you don’t like the song, wait for the next one or actually pay some money to see someone you prefer. I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice.
Awww how sweet, now they can make horrible music together…
Seems like they deserve each other what a tw#$ THAT girl is, not hot, not talented, not witty… if she had black hair and a huge fat as#, she could be a Kartrashian. The guy makes some of the worst music I have ever heard and so DID she so…there you go.
way to be mature..get engaged after dating only 6 months….let’s hope it’s a LONG engagement. Of course they’re happy, they’re still in that ‘new sex’ hormonal, honeymoon phase…
and FYI, he has a house close by to where I live here in B. C., several people who have worked on various jobs at his house have commeneted how very arroagant and rude he is. You can tell alot about a person by how they treat service people or employees. and on another ‘bitchy’ note, is it just me, or has she always had ‘fangs’. she looks like she could be a vampire.
NOOOO! I LOVE Nickelback and I don’t care what people say about their music, it’s fun rock and I don’t need everything to be deep and meaningful, sometimes I just want to hear something that rocks. But I LOATHE Avril Lavigne. In fact, I think I hate her as much as I hate Jenny McCarthy. Nasty, petulant piece of crap. I remember she spat on someone once, and anyone who SPITS on other people is despicable. I hate her ugly weasel face and her manufactured “I’m so KEWL and punk rawk!” attitude. I’m sure Chad Kroeger is a jerk but he deserves better than horrid Avril. God I despise her!
I love that you came on here where everyone is bashing Nickelback in everywhere and protested your love for them! Very brave!
While I’m not a Chad fan, I do not mind a lot of Nickelback’s songs. Some are awful but some are really catchy and fun to sing along to.
Cheers 🙂
As a Canadian, I feel the need to apologize for these two untalented douchebags. They’ll be a match in douche-haven, I’m certain.
What do you call a couple of douche Canadians?
Douchenadians?
Hold the show boat. That a**clown is suppose to be married already. To some woman he met during one I his concerts. His grandma’s hairstylist who came out to see him perform or some such nonsense. Did I totally dream that up on my own?

Hilary’s ring is soooo ugly! It looks like freakin play jewelry. I really can’t stand huge engagement rings. What a total waste of money. I’ve seen from experience that the bigger the ring the worse off the couple is.
2 pop singers who pose as hardcore ‘rockers’…perfect for each other.
avril is about as punk as my aunt edith.
Oh man, that’s priceless! lol!
Ugh. He is SO gross.
I can’t wait until the day when we get to see candid photos of future baby LaBatt drinking Molson’s out of its sippy cup.
Yes, yes Avril. You’re a reeeeal badass.
One badass poser.
Oh, on the contrary, all you posters. I think Advil Latrine and Chad Crowface make a perfect couple:
1) They’re both fucking UGLY
2) They both SUCK as musicians
3) They’re both incredibly obnoxious
I think if they do record something together, the CIA could use THAT to interrogate terrorist suspects. Imagine, having to listen to their whiny, annoying garbage 24 hours a day!
Perfect. Chad Nickleback is such a known loser that he probably hasn’t had anyone to spend his money on yet. Why not. They look just adorable. What a paralell step, from a kardashian to knickela$$. You go girl.
She is beautiful and talented.
I have no idea why people here cannot appreciate that she wrote her own songs and made herself aself made singer vs. the plastic replaceable girls that the industry gives them songs.
She paved her way to where she is now.
I don’t think he is as attractive as she is, but if she loves him than that all that matters.
Isn’t it funny how no one knew or cared who either of them was dating, so they had a big announcement and dragged out the huge ring? Nickelback is okay, but I can’t stand Avril and her fake punk image. She’s dated BRODY JENNER for heaven’s sake. She was with her first husband, started hooking up with that greaseball Davis, immediately began dating Jenner after and when they broke up in January, she started dating this guy and got engaged? She’s such a tool; she’s the JLo of fake hipsters. I love how there are suddenly pap photos of them; it’s the best staged thing either of them has ever done.
considering he cursed out his-ex wife for blocking him from picking up a groupie that 14 karat engagement ring he gave her is a waste of time.
It will be one giant douchebag wedding! How perfect!! Now can they go away…please?!
Shes totally knocked up
She is totally knocked up.
My inner tween loves Avril. She’s a douche but I still love her.
Chad whatshis face makes me vom a little in my mouth.
