Ma waena o nā mea aloha i nā mele koʻikoʻi, aia kekahi manaʻo ʻo kekahi o nā ʻelele maikaʻi loa a maikaʻi loa o nā mele guitar i nā manawa āpau he poʻe malihini mai Kanada. ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia nā mea kūʻē i kēia manaʻo e pale aku i ka hanohano o nā mea mele Kelemania a ʻAmelika paha. Akā ʻo ka poʻe Kanada ka mea i hauʻoli i ka kaulana nui ma ka lewa post-Soviet. ʻO ka hui Finger Eleven kahi laʻana nui o kēia.
Ka hana ʻana o ka hui Finger Eleven
Ua hoʻomaka ia i ka makahiki 1994 ma ke kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi o Burlington, aia ma kahi kokoke i Toronto. Ma hope o ko lākou puka 'ana mai ke kula ki'eki'e 'o Sean lāua 'o Skott Anderson a me ka moe'uhane o ka lanakila 'ana i ke kahua mele, ua kono lākou i nā hoaaloha (Rick Jackett, James Black a me Rob Gomermann) e ho'okumu i kahi hui. Ua kapa ʻia ka hui i loaʻa i ka Rainbow Butt Monkeys a hoʻomaka i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa.
Hāʻawi nā kāne i kā lākou ʻaha mele mua ma nā hale kūʻai kūloko. ʻO ka wikiwiki loa, ʻike ʻia nā ʻōpio akamai e nā mea hana o ka lepili Mercury Records. ʻO ka hana pū ʻana me nā poʻe loea i aʻo koke i nā mākau studio kāne. A laila ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kā lākou hana mua, Letters from Chutney. Ua lilo nā mele mai ka album i mea kaulana ma ka lekiō a me ke kīwī.
I ka makahiki 1997, makemake ka poʻe mele e hoʻololi i kekahi mea i ko lākou ola. Ua hoʻoholo lākou e lilo i mea koʻikoʻi iki, me ka ʻae ʻana ʻo ka ʻike mua, ʻoiai he kūleʻa, ʻaʻole kūpono. Me ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i nā huaʻōlelo o kekahi o nā mele i haku mua ʻia, ua manaʻo ʻo Scott e hoʻololi i ka inoa o ka hui iā Finger Eleven, i ʻae ʻia me ka lokahi. I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i kā lākou album studio ʻelua, ʻo Tip, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma lalo o ka lepili Mercury / Polydor Records.
ʻO ka mua
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻololi ka hui i kāna mea hoʻokani pahu. ʻO Richard Beddo ka mea hoʻokani pahu hou, i komo koke i ka hui. I ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka album i hoʻokuʻu ʻia, ua kaʻapuni ka hui iā ʻAmelika, e hoʻololi ana i ka lepili iā Wind-up Records, he lālā o ka hui kaulana ʻo Sony. Ua hele pū ʻia nā mea hoʻokani pila e like me The Killjoys, I Mother Earth, Fuel and Creed. ʻO ka nui o ka poʻe pā o ka hana a ka hui i helu ʻia i nā miliona.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻomaka ka mea hana ʻo Arnold Lenny e koi i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi album hou. Noho maoli nā kāne i ka studio no kekahi mau mahina. ʻO ka hopena o ka hana lōʻihi ʻo ia ka album The Greyest of Blue Skies (2000), i kūʻai koke aku i nā kaukani kope. ʻO ke mele ʻo Suffocate mai kēia moʻolelo i lilo i ke kani kūhelu i ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni Scream 3.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2001, hele ka hui i kahi huakaʻi ʻē aʻe. Ua hele pū ʻia ka hui i nā manawa like ʻole e nā hui penei: Cold, Clutch, Unified Theory a me Blinker the Star. Ua hōʻoia ʻia ka kaulana o nā kāne e nā mea pā i ʻike i nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ke alanui a noi i nā autographs a me nā kiʻi kiʻi.
Ka Piʻi ʻana o ka kaulana o Finger Eleven
Ua hana pono ka hui ma ka album studio aʻe. Ua hana nā mea mele i kēlā me kēia mele i ka maikaʻi. ʻO ka hopena o ka makahiki a me ka hapa o ka hana he 30 mau haku mele, a he kakaikahi wale nō ka mea i koho ʻia. ʻO kahi neʻe maikaʻi i kēlā manawa ʻo ia ka hoʻolaha ʻana i kahi helu kelepona i hiki i kēlā me kēia "fan" ke kelepona. Ua pane aku ka poʻe pā me ka mahalo i kēia hana a ka hui.
ʻO kahi hanana koʻikoʻi ka ʻike me ka mea hana ʻo Johnny K, e hana pū ana me ka hui Disturbed. Ua ʻae koke ka poʻe loea. Ma muli o kā lākou hana hui, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album studio ʻekolu o ka hui, ʻo Finger Eleven, ma 2003. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻopaʻa nā kāne i ke mele Sad Exchange, i lilo i leo kani i ka Hollywood blockbuster Daredevil.
Wahi a ka moʻomeheu i hoʻokumu ʻia, ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka album, hele ka hui i ka huakaʻi. I kēia manawa, pono ka hui e hoʻokani me nā hui e like me Evanesence, Cold a me Creed. I ka pūnāwai o ka makahiki 2004, ua lilo ke mele Slow Chemical i ke kani i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni The Punisher. I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, ua lilo ka wikiō One Thing i mea maikaʻi loa e like me ka Much Music Video Awards.
Ma hope o ʻelua mau makahiki hoʻomaha i nā huakaʻi pau ʻole ma ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika, ua hoʻomaka ka hui e hana i kahi album hou. ʻO ka hopena o ka ʻimi makakū ʻo ia ka album Themvs. ʻO Youvs. ʻO wau, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma ka lā 4 o Dekemaba, 2007. Ua ʻoliʻoli nā poʻe pā i ka hana hou a nā mea hoʻokani. Ua komo nā mele i loko o nā papa lekiō, a ua loaʻa nā kiʻi i nā ʻike ma nā ala āpau.
Ua hiki i ka hui ke hoʻomaka i ka hana ʻana i ka album ma hope o ʻekolu makahiki wale nō. I kēia manawa a pau, ua hōʻiliʻili maikaʻi nā kāne i nā mea e ʻoluʻolu ai i nā "fans" a puni ka honua. I ka makahiki 2010, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka studio recording Life Turns Electric. ʻAʻole makemake nā mea hana i ke poʻo inoa hana o ka album Living in a Dream a pono e hana i kahi mea hou.
Ua hōʻailona ʻia ka makahiki 2012 i ka mōʻaukala o ka hui me kahi ʻaha mele nui manuahi i mālama ʻia ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka ʻahaʻaina o Hard Rock's Old Falls Street. Ma kēia hanana, ʻākoakoa nā pūʻali pōhaku o nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā kuhikuhi e ʻoluʻolu i kā lākou poʻe pā. Ua hāʻawi ʻia nā kālā i loaʻa mai ka ʻahamele i ke aloha. Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka ʻahaʻaina o nā mele guitar e ka hui kaulana ʻo Hard Rock Cafe.
ʻO ka hui ʻumikūmākahi i kēia lā
ʻO ka hana studio hou loa ʻo Five Crooked Lines, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani pila ma Iulai 31, 2015. Mai ia manawa, ua hele ikaika ka hui, e hoʻopaʻa i nā wikiō, e kamaʻilio me nā "fans" a hoʻolimalima manawa no ka leʻaleʻa. Hiki ke lohe pinepine ʻia ko lākou mele ma nā pāʻani kamepiula kaulana, kahi e hoʻolilo ai nā keiki i kā lākou mau hola manuahi mai ke mele.
E like me nā mele mele he nui, he nui nā moʻolelo ʻakaʻaka a hoʻohenehene ka hui. I ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o kekahi o nā album, ua ʻaihue ʻia ke kaʻa kaʻa o ka hui mai ke kahua kaʻa e pili ana i ke keena kahi e hana ai nā mea hoʻokani. Ua loaʻa iā lākou ka poʻe ʻaihue, akā ua koe ke koena, ʻoiai e ʻakaʻaka ana nā kāne a hoʻomanaʻo i kēia hanana o ko lākou ola luhi.
