Man Who Looks Identical To The Drummer Of Nickelback Popped For Trying To Get Free New Drums
Try and tell me that isn’t the drummer for Nickelback, you can’t.
Howevaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…..
HP - It is not a photograph of Daniel Adair, drummer for chronically underrated band Nickelback. It is a photo of Lee Howard Koenig, a 45-year-old man from Port St. Lucie, Florida, who is accused of impersonating Adair in an attempt to fraudulently obtain thousands of dollars worth of drumming equipment.
Koenig allegedly used a fake email address — danieladair1975@gmail.com — to contact a company from in Vienna, Austria. Claiming to be Adair, he ordered $25,000 worth of equipment to be sent to his residence in Florida, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Huffington Post.
“He identified himself as Daniel Adair with Nickelback and said that he was looking for some microphones and tried to place an order via an email,” Port St. Lucie Detective Detective Paul Griffith told TC Palm.

I’m no investigatory journalist, but this doesn’t add up. You’re telling me this guy
isn’t this guy?
Two things here:
1) They might not be identical, but it’s not that far of a stretch, either. Every rockstar enters their washed up years. Start drinking a case of beer in a day, dabbling in heroin, forget about basic hygiene habits, and next thing you know you look like the imposter.
2) This plan should have worked. He emailed a company in Austria posing as Nickelback’s drummer. They love Nickelback in Austria. Plus foreign people are generally dumb. Should have worked perfectly, especially because who even knows what the drummer of Nickelback looks like? It’s like how there are allegedly other members of Maroon 5. They apparently exist…but nobody ever sees them or hears from them. Same with Nickelback. So if the drummer shoots you an email, you don’t question it. Love NB or hate them, they are superstars with smash hits on top of smash hits. Everyone snaps their fingers to Photograph or How You Remind Me, there’s no doubt about it. So if the drummer wants a few cymbals or snares, you have to send them over.
A true shame it didn’t work, but a valiant effort.
