Loser

Loser got their name from memories of guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:7mAqCk75DUBWgcC0sqhzwX">John 5</a>'s childhood spent in Grosse Point, MI, where, according to him, kids who played rock music were dubbed "losers." <a href="spotify:artist:7mAqCk75DUBWgcC0sqhzwX">John 5</a> (born as John Lowery), who had also played for <a href="spotify:artist:3HVdAiMNjYrQIKlOGxoGh5">Rob Zombie</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2VYQTNDsvvKN9wmU5W7xpj">Marilyn Manson</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0KyCXNSa7ZMb5LydfKbLG3">David Lee Roth</a>, started the band when he and producer Bob Marlette saw Joe Grah, ex-singer of <a href="spotify:artist:05hVkNywoV2pGQdjvb1Rr8">Jibe</a>, performing and were immediately impressed by his dynamic vocals and asked him to sign on. In early 2005, the duo added Glendon on drums and <a href="spotify:artist:76eC20K8ZrILCcSrPFgz0K">Charles Lee</a> on bass, and Loser was complete. Their debut album on Island Records, Just Like You, was set for release in 2006 but was shelved when <a href="spotify:artist:7mAqCk75DUBWgcC0sqhzwX">John 5</a> left the band to pursue a solo career. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi
