Chad Kroeger, lead singer of Nickelback, has spent a lot of time on the road, what with being the lead singer of Nickelback. Did he used to get it on a lot? Yes, he tells Men’s Health. Any wild stories? Oh, he couldn’t possibly share those — he’s about to be a married man! But surely there’s some wild story from the road he can share, isn’t there? Well, maybe just this one:

Kroeger: We’ve always been very close to our crew, so we’ve had a lot of fun getting them to do silly, stupid things that could possibly cause them to hurt or injure themselves in some way. We were in Germany years ago—this was one of my favorite stories—and we were just bored. There was a heat wave going on in Germany. In a back room in the venue where we were playing, there was an old fan with a metal blade. I don’t remember the last time I saw a fan with a metal blade. And we paid the drum tech…. Oh god, I forget the exact amount. I think we got the pot up to about 600 deutschmarks. At this time Germany hadn’t converted to the Euro yet.

Men’s Health:600 deutschmarks to do what?

Kroeger: Stick his johnson in the fan.

Men’s Health:Please tell me he said no.

Kroger: He took the money… I can still hear the “bleh-bleh-blehhhhhhh” of the blade slowly sputtering to a stop, and this blood-curdling scream. It was fantastic. Somebody has video footage of this somewhere that needs to be resurrected and shown at the guy’s next birthday party.
