Pop Singer Mandy Moore Partly Responsible For Five Finger Death Punch Success?

Yeah, that headline got my attention too. Turns out, it's true. Mandy Moore actually played a part in the formation of Five Finger Death Punch!

Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Jason Hook is proud of the fact his career was kickstarted by pop singer Mandy Moore. Before he joined the metal outfit, Hook toured as a member of her live band!

Hook tells Courier Press :

"When I moved to LA I was broke. I made a pact with myself that if I could get into the field I was going to take the job to learn whatever I could.

"I had to beat out about 50 guys at the audition, then it was like, 'Pack a bag, we're going on tour.' Every situation, whether it's your favourite or not, there's something to be learned. The Mandy Moore gig taught me a lot"
