1) 3 is an American rock … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) 3 is an American rock band formed in Woodstock, New York in 1994.
The band was founded as a three piece: Joey Eppard on Guitar and Lead Vocals, Josh Eppard on Drums and Chris Bittner on Bass. They came to the attention of Universal Records after well-received performances at the Woodstock festival in 1994, eventually getting signed in 1998, but following an unstable relationship with the label through its series of corporate mergers, the band was left with little prospect of releasing their album. Eventually, the band decided to release it on Planet Noise Records, a small indie label, and thenceforth managed themselves independently, until their 2005 signing with Metal Blade, on whose label they re-released Wake Pig in late 2005.
Their career has been marked by several line-up changes, most notably Josh Eppard's departure to join Coheed and Cambria, who are now regular touring partners. Chris Gartmann joined the band in 1999 to replace Josh on drums, along with Billy Riker on Guitars, who has remained with the band since. Chris Bittner left in 2001, and was temporarily replaced by Joe Cuchelo. In 2004, Daniel Grimsland took over bass duties.
The band have toured nationally several times, as well as appearing on radio stations throughout the United States. Joey Eppard also has an active solo career, and released a solo album, Been to the Future, in 2002.
When questioned about the band's name in an interview with Rock Something, Joey Eppard stated that they considered changing the name of the band several times, but always decided to keep the name 3. According to the same interview, the name of the band originally stems from Joey Eppard's own "fascination" with the number: "It is a reference to the construct of our reality as having predominantly 3 aspects. For example, we live in a 3 dimensional universe on the 3rd planet from the sun, experiencing time as past, present and future in a form that consists of mind, body and spirit."
The band themselves describe their music as "dark yet uplifting, spiritual without any connection to religion". Their music is punctuated by dark, sometimes incomprehensible lyrics, often rather detached from the accompanying music. Joey Eppard is considered a highly competent guitarist, with an unusual flamenco/slap hybrid guitar technique.
The band toured with the British progressive rock group Porcupine Tree on the "Fear of a Blank Planet" tour. Due to the influence of this tour, iTunes Music Store notes that people who buy the new Porcupine Tree album, Fear of a Blank Planet, have also bought Wake Pig. Since finishing the tour, the band have stated they are working on two new albums, one featuring all new material, and other consisting of older unreleased material.
2) THREE (or 3) was a Post-Hardcore band, that hailed from Washington, D.C.. The band formed in 1986 and disbanded in 1988.
3) 3 is a one-piece Italian industrial black metal band from Agrigento, Sicily, formed in 1992 by Kaos (Rosario Badalamenti). Four demos were released:
- Antichristian Kaos (2001)
- 666 Knives to the Son's Heart (2003)
- Onnipotenza III (2005)
- Santu Rusariu (2008)
3 broke out of a 3-year hiatus in 2008 to release Santu Rosariu; after that the project's now listed on the metal archives as 'split-up'.
4) 3 is another incarnation of the Emerson, Lake & Palmer family tree, formed in 1988. Keyboardist Keith Emerson and drummer Carl Palmer recruited American guitarist Robert Berry to take Greg Lake's usual place, and they recorded one album of synthesizer-laden progressive rock - "...to the Power of Three" - which received little commercial or critical notice.
Unsurprisingly, their music has elements of the characteristic ELP sound, but was criticised as less inventive and having a bland AOR flavour. After one album, To the Power of Three, 3 split up. Emerson & Palmer reunited with Greg Lake for 1992's Black Moon and Robert Berry would form the supergroup Alliance.
They did perform live, as "Emerson and Palmer" (Berry was onstage but unnamed), at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert in 1988, broadcast on HBO, but only performed a long medley instrumental set based around Fanfare for the Common Man, Leonard Bernstein's America, and Dave Brubeck's Blue Rondo, which later became an ELP encore in their 90s concerts. They did not perform any original ELP material without Lake, nor did they perform any 3 songs since the band's actual label was Geffen Records.
3 performed at live venues to support their album, sometime in 1988. The three studio musicians were sometimes augmented by Paul Keller on guitar and Jennifer Steele on backing vocals. Their setlist mainly consisted of material from their album, including "Runaway" and an extended jam version of the cover song "Eight Miles High". The group did a different arrangement of "Desde La Vida". The band did long instrumental jams based on music ELP covered including "Hoedown" & "Fanfare for the Common Man", but did not do any original ELP compositions. A long, elaborate cover of The Four Tops' "Standing in the Shadows of Love" was also included in the set.
Band members:
Keith Emerson - keyboards (1988–1989)
Robert Berry - lead vocals, guitars, bass (1988–1989)
Carl Palmer - drums, percussion (1988–1989)

The song "Halloween" by 3 is a haunting and disturbing track that explores themes of horror, violence, and darkness. The lyrics describe a group of individuals who are using a child as a sleeper agent for their own nefarious purposes. They discuss planting a bomb inside the child's head, rendering him dead, and even putting him in a blender until he can no longer remember who he is. Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation and chaos, culminating in the line "down in the valley below, there's people on fire and they don't even know."
The song seems to be a commentary on the nature of evil and the lengths that people will go to in order to achieve their goals. The lyrics suggest a total disregard for human life and a willingness to sacrifice innocents for the sake of power or control. At the same time, there is a sense of surrealism and unreality that permeates the song. The imagery is bizarre and unsettling, with references to blenders and scalpels, as well as the repeated refrain of "this is Halloween."
Line by Line Meaning
Deeper, deeper than God
The level of evil being planned is beyond what God has ever experienced
The kid is just a sleeper
The victim is unsuspecting and unaware of the imminent danger
Look in his eyes
Observing the victim for any signs of discomfort
"I think he's got a fever,
Should I get his mom?"
Feigning concern to avoid arousing suspicion
No, go and get a scalpel
Beginning the torture and experimentation process
We're planting a bomb
Building up the victim's agony for maximum impact
I think we'll build a tower
A metaphor for the creation of the ultimate weapon of pain
Inside of his head
The weapon will be built within the victim's mind
That topples every hour
The weapon will cause enough pain to destabilize the victim's mental state every hour
Renders him dead
The ultimate goal is to kill the victim, either physically or mentally
We'll put him in a blender
The torture is experimental and meant to test the limits of the human psyche
See how he does
Observing the victim's response to various forms of pain
Until he can't remember
Inflicting enough pain to destroy the victim's identity and sense of self
The boy that he was
Erasing the victim's former personality and existence
This is Halloween
Indicating that the events described are taking place on Halloween
Whoever you are
A warning to anyone who may become the next victim
Persistence, this is the key
Determination is necessary to carry out the planned atrocity
Lock him in a basement
Imprisoning the victim in a secluded location to carry out the torture without interference
Leave him to me
Instructing others to trust in the mastermind to carry out the plan effectively
A thing goes wrong
Admitting that things may not go according to plan
In the darkness unseen
The horrors being perpetrated are hidden from public view
As we're lighting them up
The perpetrators are reveling in their evil deeds
You know they're splicing the gene
Indicating that the torture is scientific in nature and involves experimenting with the victim's genetic makeup
The sin is the same
All those involved are equally guilty of the heinous act
For masking the blame
Attempting to shift the responsibility for the crime onto others
Butcha didn't wanna
Acknowledging that the villains made the choice to commit the act
Down in the valley below
Hinting at other atrocities being committed elsewhere
There's people on fire
Describing an extreme form of physical torture that is taking place elsewhere
And they don't even know
The victims are oblivious to the horror happening to them
Many thanks to you
Sarcasm directed towards those unsuspecting of the villains' plans
Many things to do
Implying that more evil plans are on the horizon
And the beat goes on
Life continues, regardless of the evil taking place
Until the beat gets through
The evil will persist until it becomes impossible to ignore or stop
Teary eyes only see a blurry reality
The victims of the evil act are unable to comprehend the magnitude of what is happening to them
And the beat goes on
Reiterating that life continues, regardless of the evil taking place
Until the beat gets free
The evil will eventually escape its confines and have a lasting impact on the world

Okay, I’ve been a big fan of the first Halloween movie you did ever since it came out. It really has a special place in my heart, I was 12 when it came out and I remember watching it late at night it really brings back fond memories.
I actually didn’t get around to watching H2 all the way through until this year but it was as awesome as the first one and I was hyped for H3.
For the most part H3 is by far the best of the trilogy, I can tell how you’ve improved so much since the first two. The use of the music and the lighting was perfect, and being shot in the snow was one of the greatest aspects of it.
However, I do have one gripe with the movie and that is Laurie’s role in the film. (Before I get into this I completely understand if she wasn’t available to film and that isn’t your fault) I loved Samantha Naslund as Laurie in H1 and H2 and a lot of the trailers led me to believe that we would get a final showdown at the end between her and Michael. But her death kind of came out of nowhere and I was really disappointed, I thought she would be alive at the end and kill the Shape once and for all. (I completely understand if she wasn’t able to film much and I’m not bashing your movie at all, trust me I freaking loved it:)
But still I liked the Judy character and Max were great
But other than that, I enjoyed this movie through and through. You did an amazing job and I love how you ended it open ended.
I would like to see these cast members return for future projects for sure.

Someone (a fan not a studio) put their own time and money into making a movie for us to watch. I give them props! It's a lot of work and inevitably, people are going to judge. I've seen a few Halloween fan films...This one is definitely one of the better ones. Nice job guys!
