Fraternal Dynamos of the Industry
Who was the very first person you started a band with?
No one other than your siblings, of course! (The neighbors and cousins came next.)
Though of course that band was completely temporary (ours only lasted a week; we became cooks and waiters the week after), you and your siblings still made some music together, whether you composed the lyrics yourselves or you just sang along (badly) to a CD cranked in the stereo.
While your dream of becoming a rock star ended after a couple of days, these brothers carried out their musical ambitions till they were old enough to get money from it.
GERARD AND MIKEY WAY
Vocalist and Bassist
My Chemical Romance
Despite being the awesome and successful rock stars they are today, the Way brothers never dreamed of becoming musicians when they grew up. Gerard wanted to become a comic book artist and Mikey...well, Mikey couldn't even play the bass. When they finally realized their calling though, the brothers teamed up to form the great American rock 'n' roll band My Chemical Romance. Oh, and just so you know, Mikey learned how to play bass overnight.
BILL AND TOM KAULITZ
Vocalist and Guitarist
Tokio Hotel
Though they look completely different, German boys Bill and Tom are identical twins. Having been raised with a music institute owner for a step father, the Kaulitz boys were never strangers to the industry. They set off as artists at quite a young age, but certainly it payed off. Today, their band, Tokio Hotel, is as successful as ever.
JOHN AND EDWARD GRIMES
Vocalists
Jedward
Their remake of Queen's Ice Ice Baby can seriously be stuck in your head for days to come. Having been discovered in the X-Factor, the Irish identical twins love singing...and apparently shaping their hair to be those of pineapple tops.
