He grew up in an impoverished family with his father, older brother Anthony, and grandmother. Radke's mother abandoned the family for unknown reasons, causing resentment towards her. Radke learned to play piano and guitar in his first bands. At first he started out playing Blink-182 songs on guitar. The first song he could play was "Dammit". He formed several bands while in high school. Radke ran away from home to play in his first band with his friend Mitch called 3.0. which "sounded exactly like Blink 182" according to Radke. He lived with Mitch and his mother for a period of time. They played a few shows at various venues such as Chain Reaction and the Huntridge in Las Vegas. After the band, Radke moved back in with his dad and said that he dropped out of school, re-entered, then dropped out again.〔 He stated in an Alternative Press interview; "I just couldn't for some reason pay attention, I just daydreamed about everything else but what I'm supposed to be doing." Radke stated that the second band was called Lefty (with Robert Ortiz). Radke met Max Green (from the band Almost Heroes) at a talent show. Radke's microphone fell and Max picked it up for him while they were on stage and they became friends, forming the band True Story, which recorded a demo which contained the track "This Is Not the End". Radke started screaming in the band after being inspired by Thrice, then started to sing, slowly forming Escape the Fate. "Listen Up!" was written by Radke in 1998 at the age of 15 as well as "Besides the Issues" and "The Worst Time". In 2001, Radke contacted his friend, producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette, who recorded the songs "Listen Up!", "The Worst Time" and "The Departure", both recorded instrumentation all together, and also composed the themes for "As You're Falling Down", "Make Up" and "Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliche", which was recorded in 2005, along with Escape the Fate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronnie Radke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
