Part 2/9:

Butch Walker was born in Rome, Georgia, and grew up in Cartersville, a small town, where he felt an early yearning for music. This passion ignited when he attended a KISS concert at the age of eight, which left a profound impact on him. Determined to avoid a mundane existence in manual labor, Walker transitioned from being a frustrated drummer to a budding guitarist, encouraged by the lack of musical opportunities in his hometown.
