Guilty!
Filed under: Canadialand > Music Minute > Legal Matters
A Canadian provincial judge found Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger guilty of drunk driving on Tuesday.
Write a song about that, rockstar!
In June 2006, Kroger decided to drive his $175K Lamborghini (showoff!) at 160km/hour down a Surrey, Canada street with a blood alcohol content exceeding .08. His reading was a .14!!!
It is a good thing that he didn't kill someone or hurt himself.
The frontman didn't appear in court during his fragmented trial, which was heard in Surrey in November and January.
Way to be a man, Chad!
Kroger's lawyer Marvin Stern asked the judge to postpone sentencing until the appeal process has run its course, but the judge declined — he wants the singer in court for the sentencing on May 1st.
Stern said his client is in Europe, recording or producing music. "I'm not exactly sure (which)," he said.
Hopefully neither.
Nickelback sucks farts!

Nickelback has amazing talent and great music…how can you say that? Do you hate everything except gay singers and weird singers no ones ever heard of? Stop promoting the stereotype, pop in a Nickelback CD, and enjoy.
How do you know it's not the same troll asking and answering the same question?? You don't do you??????
JUST A LITTLE PUERTO RICAN MIDGET WITH ANGER ISSUES???? AND WHY NOT?
SMILE!
Nickleback-21st century Beatles.

Chad himself will tell you that if you dont like him (or NB) heres an idea… DONT LISTEN TO THEM!…. for every person that hates them there are 2 that love them (you can tell by record sales)… ive seen them live twice and they put onone hell of a show.. and trust me ive seen everyone from Elton John to Tiffany to U2 to NKOTB….
HAHAH SURREY RULES! So do canadians. americans suck ass
So now you have an issue with Nickelback?!? What happened, did they refuse to pose for a photo with you too?
EWWW SURREY
COME ON
NICKELBACK ROCKS!!!AND CHAD IS HOOOT!!….PEREZ U FUCKIN FAT GAY SUCK!!!
What afuckin idiot
If they made Jesus into a muppet, you would get Chad Kroeger…..the JESUS MUPPET!
My husband is a 'Mountie'…..and works Traffic Services. He has seen enough NEEDLESS death due to speed and/or booze. The jerk was more concerned about his car not being TOWED than the fact that he could have killed someone! He wanted his car on a flat bed truck. What an ego…the Courts will deal with him and so will his fans….he hasn't been sentenced yet.
"Nickelback Sucks farts" So true and that made me laugh so hard I cried, love it!! They DO suck farts!! Canadian farts form Avrils' asshole. HA!
nickelback is awesome! They are an actual band, not like the manufactured pop you promote so much…and yeah he shouldn't have been drinking and driving but its not like he's the only celebrity making mistakes
Re: will – Make sure you never drive, Will. A point .08 is legally drunk and more than one beer. .14 is fuckin wasted! know what you are talking about dumbass
nickelback does suck. but i read through some of the comments defending them and laughed. no, that doesn't mean i think the jonas brothers are talanted or that i don't know my rock and roll–it means i think nickelback sucks, which they do, and if you're right you'll agree.
Perez, don't you have anything better to do than make fun of a GOOD band?!
Go back to listening to Britney Spears ya plastic trend whore!
Re: N –
you're an idiot.
it's okay though, it's cute.
nickelback sucks because their music is boring and no one in their band plays their instrument especially well.
now Perez be nice. Far Away was a bg part of this long romantic love story of mine…………
Perez and loser group. You are so pathetic its funny. What talent do you have??? Videoing your stupid dog? Or would it be your ultra annoying damn gay voice???? No wait maybe its your stupid fat pudgy face!! A ha ha ha. You give brainless a whole new meaning. Loser. Mucho LOCO…in idiot terms.
it's not all his fault, i grew up right close to his home town
if you grew up in Hanna, you would want to be drunk all the time too
they sold the most records in 2006 you fucktard, yeah they really suck. you are so envious you wreak of rotten fruit! go get butt raped by some hollywood freak you pancreas sucking infection of a life form……
Re: loserperezzzz – Why are you even on perezhilton.com then !?!?!?! wouldn't that make you a loser too!!! HAHAHA
Nickelback too loud for you? Because a band isnt gay, does'nt mean they are bad (see Mika or Elton fucking John - who make my ears bleed). Got it fuckface?
He should be locked away…drunk driving kills dumbass!
Re: Sara G. – No one in their band plays their instruments especially well??? 2 things, they do play their instruments exceptionally well and, they play instruments and sing - which most "bands" these days do not do at all.
I apologize for being stupid but I will not say sorry for my cuteness. I think that, someone that makes a blanket statement without any backup, is probably not as intelligent as she thinks. Nbacks lyrics are very clever. Perez just doesn't like them because their satirical commentary on society through their music pokes fun at the faggy little dough boy and his genre….but I'm an idiot so what do I know.
NICKELBACK is AWESONE!!!
But its sad that he has to go to court…
Hope everything goes well…
F*** YOU PEREZ NICKELBACK ROCKS
OH AND BY THE WAY IT'S SURREY BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA … YOU SUCK FARTS FAT ASS
I would like to know why American's feel the need to forget we have provinces, in the above comment it says he was driving down a Surrey Canada street……..it's Surrey, British Columbia. I notice you never say "she/he was driving down a Los Angels USA street!!!
Nickelback is great!!
.14? wuss…
Nickelback is fabulous. Far Away is a MOST beautiful song, as are most of them. Suck Teddy's, Perez.
Re: :::::EYE ROLL::: – Not everything's about race on this planet. Or is it?
Know what is dumb? Chad Kroeger.
Know what sucks donkey balls? Nickelback.
Know what fucktards do? Drive drunk!
Fucker should be locked up not only for driving drunk, but for making the shittiest music known to humankind.
Chad Kroeger is a goddamned douchebag. Lock him up for driving drunk AND making shitty, shitty music.
HA HA…Nickelback does suck major farts! Glad someone else thinks it. He's so freakin cool.
Wow, you really suck Perez. Nickelback rocks.
dude nickelback blows. chad kroeger is possibly the biggest douche ever. oh wow he's so cool he got a DUI! he's an asshole.
Nickelback does not suck!!! Just because the singer is obviously an idiot who drives drunk and doesn't go to court for it, doesn't mean the whole band… or even their music sucks!
Come on now!
The real question is WHY was he in Surrey (and it's surrey, b.c. not surrey canada lol) that town is a dump known for it's low classed hookers and easy women. Everybody up here in bc gets insulted when you call them a 'surrey girl' lmao
Nickelback are great
chads just stupid, but people should stop putting them down if they havnt given their music a chance i just think they are overplayed too much at the moment!
Nickelback Sucks.
They actually said in an interview that when their popularity starts to diminish and they make less money they'll stop making music. It's supposed to be about your passion for music.
He also went on a rampage about how no one in the world should be able to say Nickelback sucks because of all the hard work and effort they put into their music
SUCK MY DICK BITCH!!! Chad has ruined the B.C. music industry
I am in jail reading this in Canada. I am hoping he gets some jail time! That is gonna be some hot celeb ass to tag team. Will the video be worth anything?
What Nickelback has better talent than all those stupid asses liuke the Jonas and Miley. Nickeback acually sing and have TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah….nickelback fucking blows.
Re: Captain Obvious – obviously captain OBVIOUS doesn't know how huge surrey actually is , because the whole place isn't a dump its huge, and i really don't think south surrey can be called a dump, maybe areas of whalley and newton but surrey consists of a lot more then just those two places.
couldnt agree more- this is the WORST BAND EVER!
Perez, don't write about Canada if you can't get it right, you're just adding to the sterotype of American's being clueless…Its not "Surrey, Canada" It's Surrey, British Columbia, and it wasnt on a street, it was on a highway. Get an education.
He was at Gabby's out in Langley, BC, CA that night and pissed off a biker and jumped in his car to get away so the biker actually ran over his lambo with his bike and chad was pulled over driving away from the biker.. the biker was a friends cousin.. Believe it
Only hicks and rednecks like Nickelback
Nickleback truly blows… they make me gag.
Fuck you; Nickelback is a fantastic group.
Chad just made a terrible descision.
Disney stars are the "new" losers.
Seriously, no one out of diapers wants to go to Disneyland and see their lame faces all over merchandise instead of Mickey Mouse, or the ones that count.
BUT WE DO.
ps. at least they write their own music.
You copy and paste.
WHAT the FUCK Perez.. I am usually with you in your taste of music.. BUT Nickelback ROCKS and YOU KNOW IT.. Its a fucking killer band.. Get over it.
Nickleback fucking SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nickleback fucking SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Mass marketing generic, soul-less, overrated commercial radio crap for people who have no taste in music. They have one song that is tolerable - Rockstar - but come on, they wish they were rock stars.
He would be driving in Surrey, wouldn't he? Tells you all you need to know, right there.
friend of mine just walked away after hitting a 15 year old when he was shitfaced drunk, why? because he hired chad kroeger's lawyer.
chad's a douche, and i'm personally not a fan of his music. i'm involved in the vancouver's music scene and have run into this prick countless times. he is cocky and too proud for his own good, and i find without reason.
surrey is actually, like someone above noticed, a huge city. google photos of south surrey and marvel. it's beautiful. bc is by far the most beautiful place i've seen in canada, as a whole.
i'm glad this fucker is off the road. he does deserve it. he drives drunk all the damn time.
thanks for posting this perez. just put surrey, british columbia. i can ramble at least 30 states, and american's can't get 10 provinces and territories.
open your eyes. this shit happens every day around bc and people walk, constantly. report it when you see it.
Nickelback is AWESOME….you suck farts Perez!
LET's make this clear–Chad's choice to drink and drive sucks balls– THe band it's self does NOT suck.
DoucheBag!!!
Yeah, Nickelback is pretty much the crappiest band ever.
Nickelback rocks
And he is so hot too
NICKELBACK is awesome!
they actually have talent which is more than anyone can say about you!
U SUCK PEREZ!
u have no talent, all u do is noise into other ppls lives….GET A LIFE, and a REAL job!
nickelback has talent, they've proven that with all their succesful albums, and tours
so y dont u shut the hell up, and go and gain some more weight
AMEN TO THAT!
My girfriends and i were at the Roxy one night and Chad was partying with Hedley and some other dudes… ewww, a super pompous prick for a guy who's unfortunate-looking up close… apparently chicks aren't allowed to approach him unless they're willing to go home and sex with him… of course there was a herd of fat skanky chicks hanging off of him and fellating his ego, and he was lovin it! Chad… your music is so generic and your lyrics suck serious ass, and BTW get your drunk-driving ass off our streets!!!
omg surrey is soo trashy
What a tool. I'm so tired of bands where EVERY song sounds the same.
Some fucking bobble headed "superstar" gets aDUI and you're all about acceptance and "Oh get better!", but someone with some actual fuckginatalent get sa DUI and you start in on the negativity. What's the matter Perez? Chad not kiss your ass like the rest of the freaks from Hellywood…or did his manager not pay you enough to be a kiss ass yourself?
what a douche!
I'm Canadian and I hate this guy (most of us do)…LOSER!!!!! I hate the whole band. I say thru his ass in jail.
WANNA-BE ROCKSTAR!!!
Perezzzzy. Itt was the City of Surrey In the province of British Columbia Located in Canada.!!

Nickelback is one of the few great rock bands of late..I guess you homos only like Maria Carrey or crap like that
nickleback rocks…i'm sorry perez i usually agree with your posts but not this one…and it write not right. i'm sorry but most of the music you listen to and post on here is fag-o-licous. and sucks major cock…kinda like you
hahah they should change there name to i need my license back instead of nickelback lol heard russel peters say it last nite lol
can he also be arrested for making music that makes me want to take a bath with a toaster in it?
I'm from Surrey, British Columbia, and I couldn't be prouder of the Surrey PD for nailing this guy. Saves us from another album for a while. I hope they lock him up. Drunk driving is for idiots.
