Loser got their name from memories of guitarist
John 5's childhood spent in Grosse Point, MI, where, according to him, kids who played rock music were dubbed "losers."
John 5 (born as
John Lowery), who had also played for
Rob Zombie,
Marilyn Manson, and
David Lee Roth, started the band when he and producer
Bob Marlette saw Joe Grah, ex-singer of
Jibe, 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
Charles Lee 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
John 5 left the band to pursue a solo career. ~ Marisa Brown
