this article needs more information between him being born and joining a cover band, unless he came out of the womb strait onto the stage, which is highly doubtful —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.177.71.19 (talk) 14:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

can someone put a redirect to this if someone types chad kroger?

Done. See your talk page. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 04:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Why does the Vancouver Sun say his real name is Chad Turton? --> I read the same in my local Deltan newspaper. Apparently Kroeger is a stage name.

[edit] Chad Kroegers Family

Chad has recently been engaged with no kids yet...until he met Gabrielle, his current fiance, who is now expectin their first child.

I pretty much suspect that there is an error in including Chad in Transgender people. It's just a hunch on my part and I don't have a problem with anyone that truly is transgender. I just suspect that it is incorrect in this case. Niktuh 00:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Niktuh

Good, it looks like someone just removed the transgender bit. Thanks! Niktuh 00:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Niktuh

wtf?

Ummm, I thought Chads fiancee (now wife) was called Marianne and they have no kids? And his real name is Turton but he has used Kroeger since childhood as it is his step-father and half-brothers surname.The Neverdoll 12:57, 12 April 2007 (UTC)Kim

I want to know the truth?? Maybe he can answer that for us. NO way, is he??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.153.228.129 (talk) 02:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Death?

What? He's dead? -24.70.42.17 03:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Looks like just vandalism to me. news.google.com gives nothing. I removed it because: Controversial material of any kind that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous. 24.217.155.3 04:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Homosexual?

Under the Background heading it states In January 2007, Chad courageously announced to the world he was indeed a homosexual. His coming out has given the gay agenda hope for a better tomorrow. Two problems with this: 1) I find nothing anywhere else that agrees with this statement. 2) Even if he is homosexual, how has His coming out ... given the gay agenda hope for a better tomorrow? This seems like a personal opinion, not a factual viewpoint. Can anyone else help me out here?

NO way is this man a homo. Number 1, he's married to a woman and has been for about a year now. Number 2, the number of songs he's writen that have she or her or is definatly talking about a woman is over 30. Number 3, if I was a dude and was homo I wouldn't be going after him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikifreak1115 (talk • contribs) 01:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hair

The references for the "evolution of hair" portion of the article are all invalid - there is no mention of Chad being more appealing to the opposite sex in the reference article. Also, there is no mention that he was forced to change his hairstyle in order to play with Santana - it was due to problems with Roadrunner Records, Chad's record label. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.201.44.249 (talk) 01:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


- The Evolution of Hair sections seems like an unnecessary waste of space to me. Certainly the citation at the end is vandalism at the very least (link is valid, what it is supposed to correlate with does not. I say the section should go entirely. 85.211.14.21 (talk) 22:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree about this section on Chad's hair being absolutely frivilous and ultimately useless. I deleted this section with my reasons listed in the history of the article. --Candy156sweet (talk) 04:08, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

If he was "born as Chad Robert Turton" as the article states, then why does the info box give his birth name as Chad Robert Kroeger? Katie1971 (talk) 12:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talent

Feel free to fill it in as you go along, but avoid weasel words. Vloxul (talk) 18:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More "homosexual" vandalism removed.

I erased this edit, by the user Bobmarleyblowsblls and placed a warning on his talk page. Not sure if I have the authority to do that, but I think it was the right thing to do. I can't imagine he's here to do much good, simply on the basis of his username and that edit. Thanks. --Lewis512 (talk) 18:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drunkeness

Removed an incredibly badly worded and vague comment about the expected appeal. Facts only please, not conjecture. At this point he's guilty until proven innocent, or appealed otherwise.
