Outside The System: 2007
System of a Down related articles
Posted by cozmachina on Friday, January 11, 2008 - 05:42 PM

England seemed nice this time of year; the festival was going to start later this evening, and I can already smell the testosterone of the moshpit.  I was visiting a friend, as she and I were outside sitting at tables lined up under a pavilion.  The buffet they had for the festival was plenty; there were more people than I ever expected.
 
My friend had mentioned to me how she had seen System Of A Down just a few days ago.  Of course my gratuitous response was because I was more than happy she had gone.  It had been almost one year since I’ve seen any band perform.  I wish I could have been with her.

Interview with Antonio Pontarelli

Posted by ZAk on Monday, January 07, 2008 - 10:51 PM

Once you hear modern rock artist Antonio Pontarelli, you will never forget the sound of this passionate electric violinist. He puts a spin on everything he plays to make it his own creating a signature trademark.

Antonio picked up a violin at the age of three and started winning competitions by age seven. His parents shortly discovered that their child was gifted in music and it wasn't long before he was playing on national television. His electrifying performance and arrangement of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" won NBC's ITV's "America 's Most Talented Kids" in Nov.2004. In February 2005, he delivered the performance of the season in their "Tournament of Champions" episode when he ignited the audience with his very first note. Later that year he had the honor of being the "Young Artist Awards" winner for "Outstanding Young Rock Musician." The awards are helmed as the Oscars for talented young people in film, television and music.

After his successful collaboration with Serj Tankian's 'Elect The Dead'. In addition with sharing the stage with Serj, SOADFans were curious to Ask Antonio some questions about what he did, what he dose and what he's gonna do in the future...

Daron Malakian Lost in Hollywood
Interviews
Posted by ZAk on Monday, December 24, 2007 - 07:54 AM

In the mid-1980s, Daron Malakian was a shy youngster living in an apartment near the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Vine Street, and his parents spent much of their time trying to shield his eyes from the seedy parade of Hollywood's sidewalks.

"From the playground of my school," Malakian recalled, "we would see prostitutes and transvestites, guys holding hands, the homeless people, all these things my parents really didn't want me to see."

That playground was at the Rose and Alex Philibos Armenian School, the same campus where two other future members of the metal band System of a Down went to class. There, all of the boys were immersed in the traditions of their shared Armenian heritage, but when they rode their bikes home they passed through that chaotic asphalt theater of Hollywood.  "It was only as I got older that I realized that not everybody grows up like that," Malakian said.
