Where did the name Escape the Fate come from?

Answer 1

From a interview I've seen on YouTube this is what i know:

Ronnie and Max were bumming off of some dude they knew, like living with him and crap, cause they where poor and as Ronnie says in the Interview "I felt like that was my fate and i escaped it"

so that's where it comes from my friend :)

Answer 2

The band came randomly together through MySpace when Ronnie Radke and Max Green were looking for new band members after their prior group abruptly fell apart.On the popular website, they soon found guitarist Bryan Money, who subsequently brought in Vegas transplant and guitarist Omar Espinosa (ex- Lovehatehero ). Friend and drummer Robert Ortiz joined on to complete the group. Debuting live barely a month later, the guys found early success on local radio and quickly amassed a devoted hometown following. By September 2005 , they had won a local radio contest judged by My Chemical Romance, which awarded them the opportunity to open a show on the band's current headlining tour with Alkaline Trio and Reggie and the Full Effect . for the rest of this article please read it here: http://www.escapethefate.net/escape_the_fate.html
