Nick Wheeler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nickolas Don Wheeler (born March 20, 1982) is the guitarist, back-up vocals, keyboardist and programmer for The All-American Rejects. He was born and raised in Stillwater, Oklahoma and his favorite band is Def Leppard. When he was a teen, he was invited to play with his band at a party Tyson Ritter was the bouncer for. Ritter, seeing that Wheeler's band didn't have a bassist, joined with them, starting a close friendship with Wheeler. The two went to New York City with $1000 to record the first album. Months later, they added Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor to their live show. Their first album, for which Nick played drums and guitar, was very successful and released many hits such as Swing, Swing, Time Stands Still and The Last Song. He owns several guitars, both electric and acoustic, one being a Gibson Firebird. He has a Bon Jovi tattoo and a Def Leppard tattoo on each of his shoulders on his back. The Bon Jovi tattoo is of the album "New Jersey" and the Def Leppard tattoo is of the album Hysteria.
