I just heard an avril song in the banh mi shop. The mourning was silent but palpable. It was that song from ferngully or whatever that movie was.

Avril: The Story of Avril
― some dude, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link
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

Man, this is a real step down for Avril - Sum 41 always seemed like at least competent fun pop-punk dudes, especially on "In Too Deep."

in all the mishegoss of fall i totally forgot about this wonderful news

i know it was a given that just hadn't come to mind for me before, but the realisation that nickelback have groupies is deeply troubling.
― Perfect Chicken Forever (Merdeyeux), Thursday, 1 November 2012 18:13 (twelve years ago) link
oh my god! :$
I saw somewhere that Avril's ex & his gf dressed up as Chavril for Halloween, then Kroeger tweeted to them 'we wanted to dress up as you but no one knows who you are' or somesuch which I thought was a decent burn.

okay that story is amazing and makes me think more fondly of Chad Kroeger
I can see why he's marrying someone who fired a band member via cake

thanks markers! his haha lamed it out a bit IMO. just burn 'deryck,' he deserves it. shitty little suburbs punk.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 1 November 2012 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
the fact that deryck went as his baby mama and not as chad makes the costume way funnier and cooler than the response imo
― some dude, Thursday, 1 November 2012 19:39 (twelve years ago) link
I am pretty sure Deryck is dressed as Chad, regardless of the headline
― Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Thursday, 1 November 2012 19:40 (twelve years ago) link
why is deryck whibley so bad and hated, ffm?
― how's life, Thursday, 1 November 2012 19:40 (twelve years ago) link
this is what whibley looks like

clearly he's avril and not chad in that pic
― some dude, Thursday, 1 November 2012 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
although the idea of a onetime rock star having a girlfriend THAT ugly is pretty funny
you remember that Chad used to look like this, right:
http://static.tumblr.com/umlpszj/6u3lnzzya/chad-kroeger.jpg
also his girlfriend is pretty obviously dressed like Avril

no particular reason for Deryck hate. I hate deliberately mispelled names and am willing to blame the sins of the fathers on the children, etc. Also IIRC he's from Whitby, ON and all those little cities east of Toronto are full of annoying skater punks. And other good things.. but the damn skater punks make so much noise. /oldlady
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 1 November 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
Some of the band's songs contain political-social commentary; "The Jester" is an "anti-Bush screed", "Underclass Hero" is a song about class struggle, and "Dear Father" is about Deryck's absent father.

I don't feel bad - everyone in the Durham region has family troubles & class struggles - I should know, I escaped by the skin of my teeth ;)

after a brief Wikibrowse I regret to speak out that I was misinformed, he's from Ajax, right beside Whitby. I have failed you :(

If this is true and the two split up, Chad Kroeger should marry Mutt Lange.

Might this be...TRUE?
In a related story, I read an interview with KroegerCollaborator "the Dude from Steel Panther" who revealed that Chad has in his employ a man whose one and only job is to roll joints for Kroeger.I wager dollars to Tim Horton donuts that Avril will leave Kroeger for that man within three years. It's the 21st Century version of sleeping with the Groundskeeper.― Hut Stricklin at Lake Speed (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, August 21, 2012 6:44 PM (3 years ago)
