Longineu Parsons (drums)

Born February 16, 1980, in Paris, Longineu learned to play the drums from his dad at the age of 2. He played with his dad in the Longineu Parsons Ensemble, and his “big break” was with Max Roach. He helped Ben Harper form the band Yellowcard and played drums with them. His musical influences include Anthrax, Slayer, Green Day, Nirvana, Megadeth, and many more, see more info here. He likes riding Harleys, and he has a lovely sweetie.

Monte Pittman (guitar)

As many of us know, Monte and Adam were in the band Citizen Vein together before Idol. Monte moved to LA from Texas in 1999. He started out giving guitar lessons, and Guy Ritchie (who was then dating Madonna) became one of his students. Monte taught Guy how to play some of Madonna’s new songs, to impress her. Madonna then asked him to give her lessons, and then invited him to tour with her. He also played with a heavy metal band called Prong. He lists an eclectic set of musical influences on his MySpace page, everything from Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, and The Doors to Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, John Denver, and Bob Dylan – sounds like he shares Adam’s awareness and respect for 1960s and ‘70s-era musicians. One of his nicknames is Montster.

Tommy Joe Ratliff (bass guitar)
There’s not much info out there YET on Tommy, the second-best part of the Kiss Heard Round the World, but we do know he’s straight and single, was formerly with the band Mouthlike, loves the film Velvet Goldmine as Adam does, and so far is an enthusiastic Twitterer.

    I don’t think Tommy’s straight, what with the swapping of soliva at the AMA performance…

    Wow, like the above comment wasn’t the most ignorant thing I’ve read all year.

    I’m glad to know more about Adam’s band, he’s just starting to make waves here in the UK, I hope he does good.
