William Whitfield "Whit" Crane IV (born January 19, 1968) is a founding member and lead singer of the rock band Ugly Kid Joe, which formed in 1989 and disbanded in 1997, reforming in 2010.
Work outside Ugly Kid Joe
During Ugly Kid Joe's inactivity, Crane went on a year-long tour with New York hard rock band Life of Agony before forming Medication with ex-Machine Head guitarist, Logan Mader. Due to a series of internal issues, Medication disbanded in February 2003.
Crane's filmography includes Ellie Parker, in which he has a cameo appearance as an acting student, and Motörhead's 25 & Alive Boneshaker, where he appears as himself.
In 2006, former Ugly Kid Joe bandmate Shannon Larkin asked Crane to join a side project he formed with members of Godsmack (minus Sully Erna) called Another Animal, as primary vocalist. Crane accepted, and the band released its self-titled debut album in 2007. In support of their debut, the band went out on tour, opening for labelmates Alter Bridge. However, they have suffered poor record sales, and the future of the band is currently unknown.
"Lord of the Thighs" is a song performed by Americanhard rock band Aerosmith. It was written by frontman Steven Tyler, and released on the band's 1974 album Get Your Wings. Drummer Joey Kramer has said it is his favorite song to perform live. Kramer and singer Steven Tyler have each said that he alone was the subject of the song's title. The song has remained a live staple since its release.
Composition
"Thighs", as it is commonly abbreviated on setlists and elsewhere, was supposedly the last song written for Get Your Wings. The band needed one more song for the album, so they locked themselves in Studio C at the Record Plant in New York City and came up with this song, based on the unsavory characters near their hotel on Eighth Avenue. The tongue-in-cheek lyrics are filled with double entendres and innuendo, and the song is darker than it first appears. The song is notable for the funky drum beat by Kramer. In its opening, the drum beat sounds very similar to "Walk This Way" and the song also features lead guitar work by Brad Whitford and piano playing by Steven Tyler.
Kirk Hammett's The Wedding Band "White Wedding" Cover (Live at Cosmo Music)
Another epic performance from this mind-blowing day. The Wedding Band (Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo, Joey Castillo, Whitfield Crane, and Doc Coyle) is a relaxed project put together by Kirk Hammett after being hired to play at a wedding. Kirk brought his legendary friends for an exclusive performance at Cosmo Music. Watch as they absolutely shred their take on a timeless Billy Idol classic.
Kirk Hammett spent the day with us at Cosmo Music - we had a conversation with him in our latest Rockstars In Cars series, he toured our music store, had a meet and greet with fans, left us some handprints, and brought his Greeny Les Paul and some friends for an incredible performance.
