Интервью Чада и Мэриэнн в ОК (журнал США), кажется такого еще не выкладывали, а если уже было, то извините, вообщем вот:

CHAD KROEGER: The Nickelbacks singer and his fiancee open their home and chat about their upcoming nuptials.

Rock band Nickelback recently relesed thier fifth album all the right reasons and for the first time in the groups 9 year history their CD debuyed number one at the billboard Charts. if you think you dont know Nickelback, think again. You probably know their current single "photograph" which has been the most played song on pop radio since the release date. The band is in the midst of a press tour that has taken them from london to germany to five cities in Canada for 24 hours- and thats all before a 06 world tour. Enjoying a moment of peace between The Tonigt Show, and Jimmy Kimmel live lead singer Chad Kroeger and his fiancee Marianne spoke to OK and showed that his talents in song writing extend him to great stories. From a true tale of true love at first site as well as the virtual zoo that the couple has in their back yard. Chad doesnt skip a juicy Detail!

OK!: What do you like About Canada?
Chad: People talk about southern hospitality, and Canada has their own version of that. We live in vancouver, and there are a lot of places here where you dont have to lock your doors. Theres not a lot of murder or violence, but there is a lot of pleases and thank yous which i think have gotten lost in other places.

OK!: How did you two meet?
Chad: Marianne had a friend that was good friends with a bass player in the opening act at a Nickelback show. So she came to our show not even wanting to see Nickelback.
Marianne: Thats not true (laughs)
Chad: It was very bizzare. I never did this before, but that night i said into the mic. "I think my future wife is in the house tonight" Then i did this thing where i would walk through the crowd with a video camera and get out to the middle of the crowd and play a guitar solo. It was very cheesy rock n roll thing. On my way through the crowd i looked over and i saw this woman and my jaw dropped. I elbowed my security guard behind me and said "Right there, you see her right there? Thats my future wife. You have to find her after the show"
OK!: Wow!
Chad: After the show, we started pounding champagne and we're laughing talking about old times. I look over and lo and behold there she is. I walk over and Marianne wouldnt even look at me. Immediatly this soundtrack starts playing in my head that sounds an aful lot like [sings] "You're cold as ice!" I'm thinking, ive just met the ice princess we all went back into our dressing rooms and i spent the rest of the night laying it on thick, to the point of embarresment. But it turns out Marianne used to cut my grandmothers hair.
Ok!: No!
Chad: I had no idea that this was happening. And my mother knew Marianne very well.
OK!: Really?
Marianne: And i didnt know Chad, but i was his grandmothers hairdresser.
OK!: Chad how did you propose?
Chad: Im a romantic. I really am as much as she will probably deny that now. [laughs]
Marianne: no im liking this. [laughs]
Chad: Marianne was out on the road with us. I honestly knew from the day that i met her that she was the one. My brother, who plays bass in the band, took me to a jewelry store, because he happens to also be a gemologist (!?!?) I picked up the ring and went back into my tour bus. (we travel seperatly because some of the boys have babies and im not into changing diapars at 6:30 in the morning). It's really funny that you can get in front of thousands of people and sing your heart out and not sweat, but i was nervous as hell and i think my voice cracked about 3 times. I was like "oh my god! What the hell is wrong with me?" So i took a deep breath and got down on one knee. Her eyes lit up and im like "Would you make me the happiest man on the planet and spend the rest of your life with me?"
OK!: Awwww!
Chad: She actually left me down there for a long time; it seemed like an eternity. She was smiling and laughing and looking at me. and one part of me expected her to be like "Thats so sweet, but i just dont think we are ready yet" [laughs, but she said "yes!"
OK!: But your not married yet?
Chad: No we are still engaged. I want to have enough time off the road to work with Marianne on the wedding instead of being on the road aand her doing all of the work and me flying into town, putting on a tux, running down the isle, saying "i do", giving her a kiss, putting a ring on her finger, and running out the door to the airport.
OK!: Have you started planning? Do you know where you want the wedding to be?
Chad: We're thinking we might do it in Victoria, BC. Victoria is beautiful and there is a castle there that we've been looking at. But we're also building a home right now in Mexico that will be done Jan 1. Its near Cabo san Lucas and its beautiful. We'll have to wait until thats done to see.
OK!: Marianne, do you ever get bothered by any of the groupies?
Marianne: Chad gets fans all the time. It's part of everythinng you know? I dont think its a concern.
OK!: Whats your fav. Thing to do together?
Chad: I think its got to be cooking in the kitchen.
OK!: What do you like to cook?
Marianne: Spaghetti!
Chad: There are a few dishes we like to do, but we have a lot of fun together when we are making spaghetti together because we are constantly tasting the sauce and throwing everything into the pot. Its a lot of fun. We will usually do spaghetti and a movie in the house. Thats my favorite thing to do.
OK!: Chad, when did u relize that you made it big?
Chad: When i relized that i wasnt worried about getting a job, and if it ever ended, that i woudlnt have to go sell cars or anything.
OK!: How do u like being in a band with your brother?
Chad: Its really a Dr. Jekyll, Mr Hyde type of relationship, because when we are on the road we do get into brotherly type arguments. But i love when we go home and just turn into brothers who talk about cars and stuff.
OK!: Bands hate to be pigenonholed, but how would you classify Nickelback?
Chad: We are a straight up rock band.
OK!: How did you come up with the name?
Chad: My brother worked at starbucks and he'd be serving coffees for 2.95 or 3.95 and saying "heres your nickel back" alll day long. "so", he suggested "how about nickelback?
OK!: Do you read your reviews?
Chad: No. I try to stay positive. Were kind of a punching bag band and were not in some delusional state that everyone loves us. But at the end of the day, we get on stage every night and play rock and roll. And if you gotta have a jobb, this is a pretty good one to have.

В основном да, я думала может хоть Мэриэнн по-больше скажет, а нет... может мы бы по-больше о ней узнали.

Housekeeper fired by Nickelback frontman loses free tickets for kids
By Laura Baziuk, Vancouver Province June 8, 2010

VANCOUVER — A single mom from Abbotsford, B.C., says her sons are heartbroken after Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger suddenly fired her — then denied her five boys the tickets he had promised to his concert last week in Vancouver.
Arlene Morris had been cleaning Kroeger's Abbotsford home for two years, and last winter, the singer had promised five of her sons tickets to his band's June 3 show, she says.
But Morris was suddenly fired last week for allegedly wearing Kroeger's girlfriend's discarded clothes, which she denies.
Morris says Gail Johnston-Watson, a co-worker who hired her to help clean the house, delivered the bad news, and the ticket offer evaporated.
"(My kids) were so looking forward to it," Morris says. "They told all their friends."
Unbeknownst to Morris, her youngest son Kendall, 11, wrote an earnest letter to the Vancouver Province last Sunday, saying how disappointed he was.
"(Eight) months were waiting and the day is just about here when my mom gets a call," he wrote. "Oh wow how hard that was, she tells us the tickets were cancelled guys im sorry and not only that he fires her too.
"Well mr CHAD KRUGER WE dont think your cool and we took your stupid picture off our rockstar wall cause you dont deserve to sit up there with john lennon, mick jagger or bob dylan."
The family has decorated a wall in their house with photos of legendary musicians. When Kendall heard he and his brothers wouldn't be going to see Nickelback play at GM Place, Morris says he told her to take down Kroeger's autographed photo.
Jonathan Simkin, Nickelback's manager and Kroeger's record label partner, says Morris was indeed fired with cause, and part of it was because she had some clothes belonging to Kroeger and his girlfriend.
"She was given an opportunity to do the right thing, which she chose not to do," Simkin said. "She was fired under very reasonable circumstances."
Simkin would not elaborate, and emphasized that Morris had been hired by Johnston-Watson and not Kroeger. He declined to name the girlfriend.
"I've been working with this band for 15 years. That is not something that he would ever do," he said.
Johnson-Watson, who Morris said has worked for the band for eight years, could not be reached for comment.
Morris, who also cleaned house for Nickelback drummer Daniel Adair, as well as a manager and producer, said she had considered pursuing a wrongful dismissal suit earlier, but now is uncertain.
She also said her boys had been huge fans of Kroeger, singing all his songs.
Nickelback, a two-time Juno Award-winning group from Alberta, has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide since debuting in 1996. Their fifth album, All the Right Reasons, went platinum eight times over in the U.S.
When she returned from work after meeting the frontman for the first time, Morris says she asked them: "Who wants to touch the hand that Chad Kroeger touched?" Everyone cheered and raced over — even her 21-year-old.
"(Kroeger) totally destroyed what I thought he was. And that's heartbreaking," she says. "He devastated all of them."
