I Photograph Rock Stars: Greg Watermann's Gallery Opening Reviews
|

The first time I worked with Greg Watermann - at Ozzy Osbourne's Beverly
Hills mansion for Britain's Metal Hammer magazine in 2002 - he looked every bit
the Hollywood rock star photographer. Black-clad like a Nine Inch Nail, blonde
"assistant" in tow, he was briskly efficient. Since then his career curve has
been steep: starting with smaller bands like Earshot and Mudvayne, he's worked
his way up to being something of the house photographer for commercial
juggernauts Linkin Park (he shot their best-selling Meteora - From The Inside
book in 2004) and System Of A Down.
Yet he's actually a quiet, sober bloke (who
insists on not being on local bands' guest lists - so they can make more money
at the door - and asked not to be photographed for this article) with a fierce
love for his art. |

SOAD never planned to present Armenia at Eurovision
|
|
| Posted by ZAk on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 07:04 AM |
What are the facts? Last August, in an interview with Asbarez newspaper,
SOAD’s lead singer Serj Tankian said that a Finnish journalist had asked
him if he would be interested in participating in "a song competition" which
would raise "awareness about the Armenian Genocide." Tankian told the reporter
that it was "an interesting idea." When the reporter asked if he would be
interested in participating in such a song contest, Tankian said, "Maybe, yeah."
Soon after the Finnish interview, Tankian said he was inundated with media
reports that he was "going to take System of A Down to do this Eurovision
thing." He told Asbarez: "It was all a misinterpretation and a
misunderstanding to a point where I had to actually call my label reps [representatives] in
Finland and asked them to please tell the journalist to retract |

With
multi-Platinum rock band System of a Down currently on a hiatus that
might last for several years, drummer John Dolmayan finally has a little
time to devote to his other passion, comic books and collectibles. Dolmayan, who
currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada has officially launched his next endeavor,
Torpedo Comics which already features over 15 million comic books, toys, graphic
novels, trade paperbacks, superhero action figures and other comic book-related
memorabilia, ranging in price from 99-cents to six-figures.
We caught up with John recently, who is also in the recording process of his
next musical project with fellow System of a Down member Daron Malakian which is
called Scars on Broadway, to get his thoughts on finally launching Torpedo
Comics and having a knack for comic book collecting. |

John Dolmayan Interview (talks about TC, SOAD & SOB)
|
|
| Posted by AK on Sunday, May 06, 2007 - 11:56 AM |
Check out a recent audio interview with John Dolmayan, talks about his
drumset that he displayed at the comic con, the artists that contributed to it,
his love of music and comics and System of a Down and Screamers.
He also
talks about the moment where he ran to his parents room one night, just missing
the bullet that went through his room. The bullet went right to his pillow. They
moved to Cyprus, then Canada, then LA.
Some interesting things mentioned in the interview:
- John announced
November 1, 2007 as the Torpedo Comics
opening date!
-
John said that he finished 6 tracks for Serj's new CD (new album titled 'Elect
The Dead') and when Daron heard about
it, he called John and said, ok you're doing Serj's tracks, now you gotta do some
tracks for me! so john went in and jammed with Daron, then they called Shavo and
they started jamming, and they said instead of just jamming, why don't we just
make another album on the side? so the three of them went to Serj and told him
about it and Serj didn't have a problem with it, and so John said you can expect
a Scars on Broadway album within a year. and john said, during shows Serj can
probably come out and join them on stage.
-Funny thing that john mentioned:
he said you know what would be really great? a show with Serj's side project,
Scars on Broadway and System of a Down all together at one show! haha that would
definitely be so awesome!
So download the three segments and give them a listen, it's awesome!
