this was the first time I heard Crush 40.
and back then, at a friend's house, I was super confused... I heard this and was like... WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE... hold on... is that the singer of Axel Rudi Pell?
because I was a huge Axel Rudi Pell fan and still like a lot of their stuff.
and sure enough, it was Johnny Gioeli... that was so fucking weird to me as a kid, hearing this american guy from a german metal band I listened to since I was 8 sing the damn theme song for Sonic Heroes
edit:
if someone is curious about the Sonic theme music guy singing "normal" stuff, here ya go:
that was the first Album he was on, I was having this album on repeat for a good few months back then (my cousin recorded it to cassette for me, that was the easiest way back in the mid 90s lol)
so yeah, imaging you love a band as a kid, and then one day your friend is like "hey let's play that new Sonic game! I just got it!" and you hear the singer of one of your favorite bands sing the damn theme song lol
