The clip, which you can watch below via Spin, shows a fan approaching the frontman in a casino before asking him to sing for her.
“Chad, can you sing for me one little time,” she says, before he responds: “Will you shut the fuck up?”
She then persists and he agrees to sing a verse from their huge 2005 hit ‘Rockstar’, before adding: “Will you fuck off?” to which the fan bursts out laughing.
Running into Chad Kroeger at a casino and asking him to sing Nickleback – and then him doing it – is wild.

It comes just weeks after Jack Black broke out a hilarious cover of Nickelback‘s ‘How You Remind Me’ during a recent interview which went viral.
The star burst into an impromptu rendition of the 2001 single after asking “What was Nickelback’s biggest hit?” in a seemingly random moment as the interviewer for IMDb was trying to ask co-star Paul Rudd about his time on Friends.
Elsewhere, Don Broco and Nickelback recently joined forces for a thunderous new song called ‘Nightmare Tripping’ – the title track from the former’s newly announced album.
Grounded in immense guitar riffs, hard-hitting drums, and razor-sharp vocals, the song sees Don Broco’s Rob Damiani and Matt Donnelly share vocal duties with Nickelback’s frontman, and swing back and forth from immense screams to an anthemic, melodic chorus.
Nickelback’s 2005 album ‘All The Right Reasons’ was also recently listed among the biggest albums of the 21st century alongside the likes of Green Day, Linkin Park, The Darkness and Muse.
Topping the list was Green Day‘s 2004 ‘American Idiot‘, which sold over 2.6million UK chart units, based on combined UK sales and streams, in the years since its release.
Responding to the news, the band said at the time: “We made ‘American Idiot’ as a deeply human statement of defiance – against fear, against lies, against apathy. But also a character driven concept album.
“It was risky, it was loud, it was personal – and it changed everything for us,” they continued. “Twenty years later, the fact that it still resonates means the world and we’re very proud that it continues to inspire people everywhere.”
