“When I was younger, my dad was making a music video for a band in Montreal. I was goofing around and being a ham. An agent was there and she was telling me, 'Hey, do you think you'd want to go out on auditions?' I was like, 'Yeah, what's an audition?

“I don't think we ever sat down in the early days and said "hey lets be a band that wears make up". I think it was just natural for us. We grew up loving stuff like Alice Cooper, Kiss, The Misfits, and the more theatrical stuff. I always loved rock stars. I loved David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and these people that were larger than life and iconic. I think that is what we always wanted to do.” PeopleThinkingSaidWantedStarsStuffNaturalRocksGrewBandKissingGrew UpHeySatRock StarTheatricalIconicMercuryMisfitsBowieLarger Than Life Author:Andy Biersack
“At the time of starting this band I was listening to tons of death metal.

“My brother was in high school and he had a garage band going, but no one would sing. They were covering a Hatebreed song at the time and I knew the words for it. My brother knew I knew the words, so he came inside the house and he's like 'Hey Mitch, come out here and sing'. I did it and after that I started a band with my older brother. That's how I got started.” SchoolSongHouseBrotherBandHigh SchoolHeyMy BrotherCoveringGarageOlder Brother Author:Mitch Lucker
“I started as a drummer, so I sort of took on singing duties by default. I had sung backgrounds and some lead vocals from behind the drums in different bands that I'd been in, and I'd gotten great responses for the songs I would sing. I really started pursuing the possibility of being a lead singer based on the fact that I was working a full-time restaurant job and then playing gigs at night, hauling drums around. One day, it just dawned on me that, 'Hey, I could be in a band and be the singer, and it would be a lot easier!'” DifferentFactsWould BeJobsNightSongBehindsPossibilityDutyEasierOne DayBandSingingResponseSingersBackgroundsHeyRestaurantsVocalGigsDrummerDefault Author:Chris Cornell
