Frontman Chad Kroeger tells Absolute Radio: "We are one of those bands that a lot of people think take themselves seriously. And no one - and I know this is hard to believe - can make as much fun of us as we make fun of ourselves.

"And we are harsh. If you think the internet's rough, you should sit in a van with us. We make up the best alternate lines to our own songs. And this is some top-shelf stuff."
