Because I'm Kay-Poh About Music Also

i'm probably like one of the only few ppl who actually has this sort of feeling in me. to be a busybody and find out as much as i can about music. like seriously the most randomest stuff i will find out. and i find it like really interesting. here are some examples.

  • The front man for Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, used to be the drummer for famous band Nirvana
  • The frontman for Lostprophets, Ian Watkins, recorded all the drums for their album Liberation Transmission
  • The original drummer for My Chemical Romance, Matt Pellisier was kicked out of the band because he couldn't stay sober for performances.
  • The only original member of Yellowcard is the drummer, Longineu W. Parsons III.
  • The only original member of Taking Back Sunday is the rythym guitarist, Eddie Reyes.
  • Jesse Lacey who was originally bassist for Taking Back Sunday is now lead singer and guitarist of Brand New
  • Jon Foreman sings the ending bit for Relient K's song Deathbed
So yeah, pretty much random stuff like that which ppl don't know about is what i like finding out about. quite interesting no? and there's so many more interesting stuff but i can't remember them now la. sry.

Other than just that, there's also like info on some songs. interesting stuff again.

  • Sara Bareilles' Love Song is actually directed to her record label company who wanted her to write a love song.
  • Brand New's song Seventy Times 7 and Taking Back Sunday's song There's No 'I' In Team are responses to each other and even have the same lyrics in each song. The songs were related to the incident when Brand New's Jesse's girlfriend cheated on him with Taking Back Sunday's ex-guitarist John Nolan.
  • Third Eye Blind's popular song Semi-Charmed Life is about drug usage.
  • My Chemical Romance's song Helena is about frontman, Gerard Way and bassist Mikey Way's grandmother.
  • Taking Back Sunday's song Liar (It Takes One To Know One) is based on the novel Lord Of The Flies
  • blink-182's song All The Small things was the first song written for frontman Tom DeLonge's wife.
