History: With his dad playing in numerous hard rock coverbands and his brother playing guitar, Tony spent his childhood surrounded by music and, "like any normal kid, loved Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crue."

After the demise of his kiddie group Fallen Angels, he stopped playing for a few years because he was sick of all the loud music his dad and brother were playing in the house, and he chose to rebel by keeping silent.

The quiet didn't last long as first Tony founded another band, Cosmic Frogs, then joined his brother's band (mostly to hang out with the older kids).

Tony's intense ambition to make it in music is rooted in his troubled school days (he was kicked out for truancy and fighting) and his realization that "I'd better do music, or I'll be a bum."

Growing better and more insightful as a songwriter all the time, Tony used down time at various odd jobs to write tunes. The one hobby he wants to get back into is riding dirt bikes as he did when he was a kid.

Facts: Tony said he has already done drugs and he has gotten into gang fighting but he says that the music rescued him.

Tony is the best friend of Good Charlotte's Benji.

In Good Charlotte's "Festival Song" video, Tony is featured drinking and sucking Ian (from New found glory)'s nipples.

The Song Chelse is a real thing- Chelsea was a real girlfriend of Tony.

Benji and Tony got the spider web tattoo on their elbow at the same time as a proove to their friendship.

Tony, during the 2002 warped tour, drank a liquid which cointained pee, vomit, spit and cigarret butts from members of other bands and spent three days voiceless. He couldn't sing due to the acid that formed in his stomach.

In Good Charlotte's performance at "MTV New Years Eve- Pijama Party" 2002 you can see Tony wearing underwear behind the band.

Benji of Good Charlotte tells how he set off a party with Tony and others:

“On tour it’s not like everyone thinks. There’s usually nothing much to do.

We just end up telling a bunch of kids at the show, ‘Hey, we’re staying at this hotel,’ and everyone comes over and you hang out.

Anyway, one time these frat guys were at a show and one of them was trying to be cool with us, like, ‘Hey, you guys, come back to our frat house.'

It was, like, three in the morning and there were some girls with the dude, so we were like, ‘Might as well, whatever.’ This was me; Paul [Thomas], who’s in our band; my best friend, Tony [Lovato], who’s in a band called Mest; and Deryck [Whibley] and Steve [Jocz] from Sum 41.

Plus, we had all these fireworks with us that we had bought earlier.

So we went back to this frat house, and while everyone was asleep we lit off all the fireworks in the house.

There were rockets and stuff going all over the place.

The whole house was filled with smoke. It was awesome!

All the frat guys came running out like, ‘That’s not fuckin’ cool, dude!’

They chased us out and even called the cops. We had to run.

We all jumped in this car, but we lost Deryck and Steve along the way.

We found them the next morning, sitting at this gas station on the curb.

They were so drunk they didn’t even know where they were.

Tony is 50% Italian and 50% German. Both his mother and father are also 50/50.
