History
Childhood
Sultan was born in Montreal, Quebec. He was very interested in psychology as an adolescent, but in high school he grew anti-authoritarian and wasn't pleased with the fact he'd have to accept certain things in psychology. He got involved in playing punk at that time and ultimately stuck with music as what he wanted to do. At a very young age, he was able to recall lyrics with extreme precision and accuracy.
Hang-On
Hang-On (ハングオン, Hangu On) is an arcade game designed by Yu Suzuki and released by Sega in 1985. In the game, the player controls a motorcycle against time and other computer-controlled bikes. It was one of the first arcade games to use 16-bit graphics and Sega's "Super Scaler" technology that allowed pseudo-3D sprite-scaling at high frame rates. It also introduced a motion-controlled arcade cabinet, where the player's body movement on a large motorbike-shaped cabinet corresponds with the player character's movements on screen, inspiring arcade games that followed and anticipating the modern motion control trend.
The game was also built into some versions of the Sega Master System. The title is derived from when the biker is turning and has to "hang on" to the bike while the bike is leaning, which Suzuki had read in a Japanese bike magazine, though Suzuki learned later the technique was called "hang off" in North America. Nevertheless, he chose to keep the former name.
Gameplay
Using a behind the motorcycle perspective, the player races a linear race track divided into several stages within a limited time. Reaching a checkpoint at the end of each stage extends the time limit. The game ends if the time runs out.

Hang On
[Chorus:]
Hang on 'til the break of dawn
We don't have tomorrow to carry on
Stay with me, and love me through the night
'Cuz we don't have another day to make it alright
Of all the times that we spent together
My mind is lost we're not meant for each other
And if I recall, correctly last fall
You told me that you'd love me forever.
And I thought I had what I wanted in life.
You said one day you'd be my wife.
Ya know and after all that has passed us by
The past 10 months were just a lie!
[Chorus]
When I would kiss you I thought it was a dream
It made so much sense, we were the perfect team
Where did it go wrong despite waiting so long
Is this how we really fit in the scheme?
[Chorus]
And I thought I had what I wanted in life.
You said one day you'd be my wife.
Ya know, and after all that has passed us by
The past 10 months were just a lie!
