chester: Birthdate: March 20, 1976 Birth city: Phoenix, Arizona Current Residence: Los Angeles, CA Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Marital Status: Wife (Samantha), married four years Parents: divorced when Chester was 11 years old. Chester's father is a former cop and his mom is a nurse Siblings: two half sisters and half brother Brian Religion: Chester says, "I believe in God but I don't practice or preach or really discuss it outside of my own ideals." Previous Day Job: Coffee barista Education: Attended Greenway Highschool and Washington High School in 1994. He also attended classes at Arizona State University even though he wasn't enrolled First Band: Grey Daze in '93, a band which got a lot of airplay in Phoenix, Arizona but was never signed..Chester grew tired of the band, especially since the band members were taking credit for the lyrics he had written..so he moved on and the rest is history... First Instrument: the piano First Album that made an impression on him: “Misfits” Favorite Album: Black Celebration, Purple, Zeppelin #4 Musical Role Model: Robert Plant & Scott Weiland Greatest Obsession: “my music” Possession he'll never part with: “my guitar” Riskiest thing he's ever done: “Quit my life to join this band” Defining moment in career: “When I vomited on myself and some fans to finish the show” Career highlight so far: “Making the video" Strangest request from a fan: “Can I have your clothes?” ----------------------------------------------- Random Stuff Chester battled a drug addiction when he was a teenager and when he was 18, he was arrested for possession of marijuana. Chester has a habit of showing his ass, and mooning people. Chester's biggest musical influence is the Stone Temple Pilots Chester has two dogs: a Rottweiller/Labrador mix and an Australian shepherd Chester smokes Chester's a Phoenix Cardinals football team fan Some of Chester’s not so pleasant experiences at shows include getting spit on and having human feces thrown at himself and the band Chester on getting tattooed: "It is the most painful and excruciating experience, yet at the same time beautiful and enlightening. When people look at my tattoos, I want them to see congruency and something kind of unfolding." Chester on fashion: "I'm the only member of this band who needs a carrying kit cargo case for my wardrobe. I've got shoes that go with every outfit, my underwear has to match my outfits, my socks have to match my shoes and my pants-everything is a very big deal to me." Chester's earliest childhood memory: "Apparently it was when I was only 18 months old - which is very unusual I know - and it was the lights from the casinos as we drove through Las Vegas. I remember telling a relative that I saw the cowboy and my parents were like 'How can you possibly remember that - you were a baby?' I've been back to Las Vegas since but I've never been back to the same strip." Chester on high school: "I was a geek who thought I was cool. I didn't hang out with a particular clique, but with different people from different cliques. I was a total nerd, trying to fit in. Luckily, I found music and that was my niche. That sorta took me out of my geekdom. I was never invited to parties as a teenager - I turned up with the popular people. That's where the lyrics to 'Guilty By Association' came from." Chester on cooking: "I like to cook. That's why my wife stays married to me. I can make a steak with salt and pepper and it will be the best steak you've ever had in your life. I think the special ingredient is love." If he could repeal one law it'd be the legalization of marijuana Chester has said if he wasn't a musician right now he'd be an average American doing average American things -------------------------------------- What the band has to say "No, he doesn't have any buns. He's a scrawny little guy like me"~Mike "Chester will make no quams about people using the phrase rock star. He wants to be called a rock star."~Mike "On his way home from practice, Chester kept driving by a place called Lincoln Park. It just kept grabbing his attention, and we all realized how much we liked the vibe of the name."~Mike -------------------------------- More more random info about Chester, check out some of the interviews and articles here (Some info courtesy of pushmeaway.com) |
