Chad Kroeger Channels Both Alex Van Halen And James Hetfield At Sammy Hagar's Birthday Bash
There's a lot of Nickelback hate out there (though Ryan Reynolds is a staunch defender), but if you're one those that slags the band, you at least have to recognize that Chad Kroeger is a beast. The Nickelback frontman made an appearance at Sammy Hagar's 78th birthday bash at Cabo Wabo recently, and proved he's more than just the guy that sang "Photograph." In a just released clip, Kroeger sits behind the drum kit bashing out Alex Van Halen's iconic opening to Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher," before taking over the mic and channeling James Hetfield as the band launches into Metallica's "Enter Sandman." The guy's got game, and even haters have to give him his props. See the video (CAREFUL! NSFW LANGUAGE!) here.
