When the Juno Awards are over on Sunday, either Chad Kroeger's hair will be burnt or Fucked Up's Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham will have no back hair.

Fucked Up's The Chemistry Of Common Life is up for best alternative album at this year's Junos, while Nickelback have been nominated for five trophies.

Abraham told MuchNews he wants Kroeger to know his long-haired days could be numbered because if Fucked Up win, Abraham wants to set fire to Kroeger's luscious locks.

"I remember that he's got this kind of insane mane of hair that looked very flammable," Abraham said.

Nickeback's Ryan Peake later told MuchNews that if Nickelback win an award, they will personally wax Abraham's back hair. Given that Nickelback are up for five awards, we're pretty sure the odds are that Abraham is going to have an extremely smooth back very soon.

Fucked Up just finished playing a few shows in China and are set to tour Canada later this month. You can see them here:
