Artist of the day - Rascal Flatts
Nikhil Dev | December 29, 2006 | 1:41 pmRascal Flatts is an American Country band comprised of lead vocalist Gary LeVox (real name: Gary Wayne Vernon, Jr.) (born July 10, 1970, in Columbus, Ohio), bassist Jay DeMarcus(real name: Stanley Wayne DeMarcus) (born April 27, 1971, in Columbus, Ohio) and electric guitarist Joe Don Rooney (born September 13, 1975, in Baxter Springs, Kansas). Gary LeVox and Jay (Stanley) DeMarcus are second cousins.
Rascal Flatts achieved notoriety in 2003 with their music video, “I Melt”. Some fans objected to the video—which starred band member Rooney and model Christina Auria—because it contained brief nudity, and wanted the video banned from CMT and Great American Country. (Ironically, Jay DeMarcus was a member of the Christian pop group East to West in the mid 1990s). Eventually, Rascal Flatts released an edited version of the video, which aired during daytime hours on CMT. [6]
The song “I Melt” came from Rascal Flatts’ second album, Melt, which contained the band’s first number one country single, “These Days” (which reached the top spot of Billboard magazine’s Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart in December 2002).
The group released a music video for the song “Skin.” The video of the song—a hidden track from the album Feels Like Today—featured Cirque du Soleil performers.
