The Chuck Norris Experiment

A Swedish hard rock group featuring members of Rickshaw, Taurus, and Tiamat, the ingeniously named Chuck Norris Experiment take their cues from bands like the Hellacopters, Turbonegro, Queens of the Stone Age, and going by their adopted names — Chuck Ransom (lead vocals), Chuck Rooster (lead guitar), Chuck Lee Riot (rhythm guitar), Chuck Mojo (bass), and Chuck Baker (drums) — punk idols the Ramones. Formed on the fly in 2004, after Rooster met the real Chuck Norris in an L.A. club and, in his excitement, told him he played in the as-yet-inexistent group, Chuck Norris Experience's eponymous debut came together within the span of a mere ten rehearsals, was recorded live with no overdubs allowed, and was released by Devil Doll Records in 2005.
