Max Green<3

Maxwell Scott Green was born on December 15th 1984, and he is now 24 years old. He was born in Cincinnati Ohio; He moved from there in 4th Grade then to Pahrump and lived there for 3 and a half years, then later moved to Las Vegas. He has a little brother named Todd. and another older brother named jason. He manages Bands such as The Seventh Plague, Secrets Kept In Suicide and Witness The Forecast. He plays bass In Escape the Fate, and also does screaming in the band. First he played guitar but wanted to be different then all those guitar players and switched to the bass. He writes his own music and records it that he has yet to put out yet. The band that inspired him to play bass and still does is The RX bandits the CD's "progress" "the resignation" and "and the battle begun" And what inspired him to be in a band were the famous Motley Crue, AC/DC, Metallica, and Marilyn Manson. He always wanted to be a professional musician and did whatever he could to get there. Amazingly he thought himself to scream, he listened to Underoath's album "They're only chasing safety" over and over until he got the screaming perfectly. He is endorsed with DCMA, Skelanimals and the clothing line “Malus”. He has snake bites, a nose ring and gauges in his ears and a whole bunch of tattoos. He is devoted to rocking out every night and making kick ass music. He believes like the rest of the band that ETF will make it big, still practicing the old type of Rock N' Roll stereotype and kicking ass on stage. 

In the beginning, Escape The Fate consisted of: Max Green (Bass/Screams), Ronnie Radke (Vocals), Omar Espinosa (Rhythm Guitar), Monte Money (Lead Guitar), Carson Allen (Keyboard), and Robert Ortiz (Drums); That was the original line-up. The band was started by current bass player, Max Green and ex vocalist, Ronnie Radke. After Green and Radke both decided to dedicate their lives to playing music, they became homeless and had to sleep on the couches of friends' houses and whatnot. They saw this to be their "fate". This is where the band's name comes in, because they were playing music not only because they loved doing it, but because they were trying to "escape their fate" so to speak. Green and Radke both were combing through the best guitar players they could find in Vegas, and they came across Monte Money. After that, Money introduced them to Omar Espinosa. "They called us all into this room, and it was amazing after that, we went into that room and everything just connected," Money quotes in their first ever interview video. Later after that, the band came across Robert Ortiz. The band first created songs such as "The Structure Falls", and "Not Good Enough...” Carson Allen wasn't in the band long though, leaving them before they even got to their start of fame, due to personal issues(He is now in the band On The Last Day). So, Escape the Fate went along with just a drummer, a bassist, a vocalist, a lead guitarist, and a rhythm guitarist, playing shows and causing havoc. One of those shows turned out to be the starting point of their fame. This show was the one they played when they won a radio contest and got to play a long side of well-known mainstream rock band My Chemical Romance in early 2006. After they played that show, their MySpace friend count blew up and their fame arose to an unbelievable level. Soon after that, they were signed to Epitaph Records and released their first EP called There's No Sympathy for the Dead on May 23rd of that year. Shortly after the release, they played a few sets at The Vans Warped Tour, taking their heed on the Smartpunk Stage and blowing people away with their outrageous talent. Escape The Fate was heading toward huge fame, and they knew it. Sadly, just in the knick of their fame, Radke had to leave the band because of his addiction with cocaine. Radke checked himself into rehab and fans were informed of this on September 11th of that year as well. A few weeks after Radke's temporary departure, ETF released their first full length album Dying Is Your Latest Fashion. Its release date was September 26th, 2006.
