The stunt was worth around £250...
We hope you're listening closely, because this is a weird one: Nickelback's Chad Kroeger has revealed that he once paid a drum technician to stick his penis in the blades of a electric fan.
Chad was speaking to Men's Health magazine when he made the confession, admitting that he only paid the guy about 600 deustchmarks - that's £250 - to do the deed during a tour of Germany.
He told the magazine, "We've always been very close to our crew, so we've had a lot of fun getting them to do silly, stupid things that could possibly cause them to hurt or injure themselves in some way.
"We were in Germany years ago - this was one of my favourite stories - and we were just bored. There was a heat wave going on in Germany.
"In a back room in the venue where we were playing, there was an old fan with a metal blade... And we paid the drum tech about 600 deustchmarks [to] stick his Johnson in the fan."
Chad Kroeger: pays crew members to stick body parts into blades.
Chad added, "He took the money… I can still hear the 'bleh-bleh-blehhhhhhh' of the blade slowly spluttering to a stop, and this blood-curdling scream. It was fantastic.
"Somebody had video footage of this somewhere that needs to be resurrected and shown at the guy's next birthday party."
We're not understanding exactly what is so 'fantastic' about that, Chad, but whatever you're into.
Avril and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger: music's strangest couples
Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne: The Canadian couple met when they were working on a track for Lavigne''s latest album, and after dating for six months, got engaged in early August.
Billy Corgan and Jessica Simpson: Simpson once said in an interview: "I definitely will marry an artistic man, I don''t have a physical type. I have an emotional type." But that was in 2010, and now she''s had a child with an American football player.
Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl: There''s one very obvious oddity to this couple''s relationship. But we like Jamie Cullum so we won''t illustrate the fact that he''s very short and she''s very tall.
Bjork and Goldie: That''s right, during the 90''s, the Drum and Bass DJ and the Icelandic songstress were together for a few years. Strange pairing? Yes. Innovative musical duo? No.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand: Many, many cynics have suggested that the whole marriage was for publicity''s sake; Brand needed to break America, and Perry needed to be a bit edgier. Well it certainly worked for Russell.
Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy: She''s a Hollywood bombshell, and he''s a sci-fi nerd from Devon. The one relationship that''s given hope to literally millions of comic book fans worldwide.
Moby and Natalie Portman: According to Moby, his ''very brief affair'' with Portman led to him recieving quite a lot of ''nerd-wrath''. apparently, ''you don''t date Luke Skywalker''s mum and not have them hate your guts.''
Gareth Gates and Jordan: The poor lamb, he would have been torn limb from limb by the then preganant glamour model. The worst thing was that she said it was a mistake: HE was HER mistake!
Kate Nash and Ryan Jarman: Ryan Jarman was cool. Cool enough to recruit Johnny Marr into his band. Then he recorded a cover of Wham!''s ''Last Christmas'' with his girlfriend. Come on man, what on earth?
Britney Spears and Fred Durst: The Limp Bizkit star said that he had ''never felt love this way'' about his relationship with the princess of pop. Britney denied, and is still denying the relationship. Harsh.
Courtney Love and Steve Coogan: Coogan''s people denied any romance, claiming they were just good friends. Love stated that the ''two week affair'' had left her pregnant with Coogan''s baby. Who are you going to believe? We''re going with Partridge.
Ryan Adams and Mandy Moore: Yep, they''re married and apparently working together on Mandy''s new album. Finally!
Marilyn Manson and Lana Del Rey and Axl Rose: The ''National Anthem'' star has been linked with Mr Manson and Axl Rose. She''s a lucky girl, there are literally millions of women who would give anything to have to the choice of not one, but two grotesque old rock stars.
Jennifer Aniston and Adam Duritz and Courtney Cox: Your eyes are not decieving you, the Counting Crows frontman has dated both Aniston and Cox. Yeah he''s got a great voice, and chicks dig a musician but still, nice work.
Vanilla Ice and Madonna and Dennis Rodman: Ice described Madge as a ''great lover'' but still dumped her in 1992. Then, a few years later she was apparently desperate for Rodman''s babies. She sure can pick ''em.
Harry Styles and Caroline Flack: She was 32 and he was 17, and yet she was apparently ''shocked'' by the abuse she got. No, to be fair, crazed fanatics of boybands are normally very forgiving of (very) older women dating one of the band.
Billie Piper and Chris Evans: Evans proposed to Piper via a note, accompanied by the gift of a ferrari full of roses. It was love or death for the radio DJ, but luckily Piper liked cars.
