Daughtry Quotes:
Speaking about using his last name as the band name:
"We could've come out with a really
obscure name, but coming from the TV show and having name recognition, it was easier just to go with my last name."
He also joked, "Steel Dragon would have been great. Rainbow Butt Monkeys would have also been great, but that was
taken."
