Haha, het beloofde nieuwtje is niet echt nieuw meer! Het gaat zeker niet om een gepland concert in Nederland. Ik doelde op het boek dat Serj heeft uitgebracht waarin hij het één en ander heeft geopenbaard. Een fragment:
quote:
... a year or so later, John, Shavo, and I were at a fundraiser in Glendale, and this singer I knew got up and sang this beautiful Armenian song. Shavo was sitting next to me at the table. He leaned over and tapped me on the shoulder.
“By the way,” he nodded toward the singer, “we tried this guy out as a singer. The only problem was that he couldn’t scream and growl.”
I was taken aback. Not that they had been auditioning replacements, but that they’d kept it a secret.
“Why didn’t you guys ever tell me?” I whispered. Shavo shrugged. “I dunno.”
I turned toward Shavo, now looking directly at him. “Listen, he’s a good singer,” I said. “I can literally take him in the parking lot right now and teach him how to growl. You should really consider him.”
Het hele verhaal over de eventuele nieuwe zanger:
https://www.rollingstone.(...)-excerpt-1235018834/Nog twee andere dingen die ik van Reddit heb geplukt die in het boek staan:
• Shavo and Daron were planning to sue Serj in 2005 for their infamous "indefinite hiatus". Instead of making it clear he was done, Serj agreed to tour in 06, despite previously telling them he was leaving. When the others found out he wasn't going to do it, they planned to force him to tour, thus sue him. The settlement was for Serj to do Ozzfest 2006 in exchange for no lawsuit
• They recorded or rehearsed two songs in 2014 but Rick Rubin convinced them they weren't good enough to release
Maarja, over het algemeen is het boek geen positief verhaal heb ik het idee. Ik denk niet dat ze nog naar Europa komen. In ieder geval niet voor een lange tour aangezien Serj die passie niet meer heeft.
