At the beginning of February someone made a Facebook fan page and called it Can this pickle get more fans than Nickleback? Within 3 weeks, the page had achieved it’s goal, reaching nearly 1.5 million fans. This is an email that was sent from Chad Kroeger to the creator of the group.
Let’s just hope the suits at FB understand how awful Nickleback is.

That is not the real chad, the owner of that Facebook group already posted saying it was fake.

Yes just saw that thanks. I’m starting to think that the creator of this group is letting her 15 minutes of fame get to her head.

Wow, a little late with this one. The “Chad Kroeger” account is a fake, as I think everyone knows by now.

a smart person would create a group named “the countdown to when Chad Kroger is closing the pickleback fan page! lets see if he can do it!”

Lies… From the creator of the anti-NB group:
“Guys, the Chad Kroeger account that has messaged me and that I print screened in those pictures is clearly not the real Chad! It was just someone with a fake account pretending to be him and I got a kick out of it! For those going around saying Chad is trying to shut down the page…Chad has not even said anything rega…rding this page, at least not that I know of! I only put those pictures up for jokes!”

Nickelback isn’t awful – you’re awful. Tits have almost become less popular than proving how much you hate Nickelback these days, and that’s a real fucking tragedy, because tits are badass.
Get a fucking life. Everyone has different tastes in music – get over yourselves already. I’m certain you could find 1.5 million idiots on Facebook who would sign up to hate basically any band in the world.

Cry more, you little baby. Nearly anyone with a halfway decent taste in music finds Nickelback at least a little annoying

Nickelback? Music? HAHAHAHAHAHA. You call the sounds they make music? That is just hilarious.

According to the fan page, the Chad pictured here isn’t the real one, it was someone pretending to be him.

The moderator of the Pickle group has said that this person is not Nickelback; rather, it is a troll of sorts.
February 23, 2010
#14
The creator of the fan page has confirmed that the message from “Chad” was actually a fake account. It was made by somebody else, probably some 12 year old internet troll.

This wasn’t from Chad’s actual Facebook.

Uhm… Its not the real Chad Kroeger. So, good article? Like, it was widely known he was a fake a few hours ago. Not that it shouldn’t have been obvious in the first place but alright.

February 23, 2010

Thats not actually Chad Kroeger I think its the guy who runs his fan page.
February 23, 2010
#19
There is no reason to believe that is actually Chad. The page creator does not believe that it is.

OMG Nickelback is SOOO horrible! I live in Calgary and we have a radio station whose slogan is “No Nickelback Guarantee!”. Their music sound like country but they say they are rock!? Chad Kroeger, eat my shit!
February 23, 2010

that was actually a post sent by the creator of the fan page it was not sent by the real chad kroeger
February 23, 2010

100:1 odds say that’s not even really Fag Kroeger…just some dude who made a fan page with his name
February 23, 2010

it was a fake profile. the jokes on you guys…
February 23, 2010

Umm.. that was fake. The Pickle person said so herself. It’s satire, like this:

You understand that this is admitted to being fake right? First of all the news is days old and the creater of the group already admitted it to being fake AND posting it in the group.
fail page fails.

Cute, the sucky band has to resort to threats.

Coral types more proper. 30 million albums… i hate people.

you are dumb if you believe this was real…anything else you found on the internet which you think is true?
February 23, 2010

Not the real Chad Kroeger.
Check the “Can this pickle get more fans Nickleback?” fan page on facebook.
February 23, 2010

“the page had achieved it’s goal”…so “the page had achieved IT IS goal”?
February 23, 2010
#32
if you actually read the pickle’s fan page you would see that it was admitted the chad kroeger account was a fake
geez do a little research before posting

Unfortunately, it’s not true. From an updated post by Coral: “Guys, the Chad Kroeger account that has messaged me and that I print screened in those pictures is clearly not the real Chad! It was just someone with a fake account pretending to be him and I got a kick out of it! For those going around saying Chad is trying to shut down the page…Chad has not even said anything regarding this page, at least not that I know of! I only put those pictures up for jokes!”

This is FAKE. The admin for the group even said, that is someone on a fake account. Quit posting crap!
February 23, 2010
#35
Yes, I’m sure Chad Kroeger uses a 10 yr old headshot of himslf on his facebook account.
February 24, 2010
#36
The Chad Kroeger is fake. Coral told everyone that she was messaged by this guy, who is an impostor & she just kept it going for “kicks”. So technically Nickelback did not respond to the FB group.
February 24, 2010
#37
Not only is it a fake profile of Chad Kroeger, it isn’t even an email. It’s a facebook message.
Oh god the new york times has gone down hill. This is the new york times yeah?
February 24, 2010

i think that ‘Chad Kroeger’ account is probably made up by the Pickle Girl. She’s secretly in love with him and deep down wants the real Kroeger to msg her on fbook.

This must be the most pointless argument in the history of the interweb.

“Let’s just hope the suits at FB understand how awful Nickleback ARE.” <– Notice how it now makes sense.

What do you slugs have against Nickelback?
February 26, 2010
#42
everyone has the right to their own opinion, its just if you like nickelback 99.9% of all peoples opinions will disagree with you. AND I’m just gonna go ahead and say it. nickleback is for jinko wearing limpbiscuit fans who were raised in a trailer park. wow that felt good.

I really don’t get why everyone has a problem with Nickelback.
Nickelback fought their way to the top and they’re doing what they love. If they suck as much as you guys say then why do they sell so many albums? And have you ever seen them live? They’re amazing!
It’s like Chad said in one of his interviews… he was asked how he felt about the people who didn’t like their music etc… his response?… Uh, yeah (said with sarcasm), we LIKE the music we play. Basically he was telling all you people that they aren’t going to conform to what you think they should be because they’re happy with who they are, they way they are.
So what it boils down to is this… if you don’t like them then don’t listen…. and stop complaining about them. There are millions of people who think they’re awesome – myself included.

it’s fake
