MICHAEL MONROE: AXL ROSE Is 'A True Rocker


LasVegasWeekly.com recently conducted an interview with former HANOI ROCKS frontman Michael Monroe. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

On his stage costumes:

Monroe: "With HANOI ROCKS I was doing the more glittery kind of thing, but for now I've kind of toned down. It's more simple. I think of what's more easy to move in; I try not to wear stuff that gets in the way too much. I got to be able to do the splits without splitting the pants!"

On splitting his pants on stage from the splits:

Monroe: "That happened once with HANOI ROCKS at The Marquee in London in the '80s. I remember I had these silver-colored pants and they were PVC or vinyl — almost the same color as graphic tape. I was graphic-taping them and the more I taped them the more they split. It became part of the show, me taping my crotch on stage. At first I was distressed, but then I thought, 'Well, that's something different for this show.' I went to the roadies and said, 'Help! Get me some graphic tape now!' I would have been screwed without graphic tape."

On the big-name collaborations:

Monroe: "Slash is one of my favorite guitar players. He's a great guitar player, and he plays the right kind of guitar. He was a great pleasure to work with. The GUNS 'N ROSES sessions were great fun. With Axl [Rose] we had some magical moments, doing that cover of the DEAD BOYS song 'Ain't It Fun', and Little Steven. I think the best songs I've written for my solo stuff have been with [him], like 'Dead, Jail or Rock 'n' Roll' [featuring Axl Rose]. He's a true rocker."

On glam rock and hair metal:

Monroe: "Somebody said I'm the guy who brought the punk into glam. To me, a lot of the hair-metal bands that came after [HANOI ROCKS]. People say [we] inspired a lot of that stuff, but I think we were more into the music. To us, the music and the songs and the attitude were more important than the big hair and the posing. ... A lot of the bands in L.A. and the hair-metal scene seemed to play their hair dryers better than they played their instruments. So I didn't really feel like I was any big part of that."

On the crazy days of HANOI ROCKS:

Monroe: "There was one incident in Israel where we almost got arrested. [Instead] we got deported because the guys threw a table out the window, and it landed on a taxicab and almost killed the driver. It could have hit [him], but luckily it didn't. The hotel manager came into the room — he opened the door with his own key — and there was broken glass all over the floor. He stepped on the glass and was jumping on one foot, [and] Nasty [the guitarist] hit the hotel manager over the head with his crutch. ... He had broken his leg in London falling down stairs at some club. There was a steep staircase at the club and they decided to see what happens when you jump headfirst with your hands behind your back — that's the kind of madness..."

On bringing rock 'n' roll to Finland:

Monroe: "In Finland back [in the HANOI ROCKS days], even if you had long hair they would kill you. Us wearing makeup and jewelry, the way we looked, it was like, 'Forget it.' When we started there were some fights with audiences, like groups of rednecks coming after us. They demolished a bus once with crowbars and baseball bats. There were like 10 guys and I woke up — I was taking a nap in the back of the bus — with the window just falling on top of me. ... We got out of there just in the nick of time. ... I think HANOI had a lot to do with the attitude changing. In the later years we became the biggest band in Finland, and that forced the people to be more open-minded about looks and stuff. We opened a lot of doors even for bands that are coming out of there now."

SERJ TANKIAN Interviewed By ABORT Magazine - Mar. 14, 2010


On assignment for ABORT Magazine, NINJASPY vocalist/guitarist Joel "ninjoelspy" Parent recently went one on one with SYSTEM OF A DOWN frontman Serj Tankian for a candid interview to discuss Serj's new album, animal rights and a black metal choir.

Serj Tankian, a Grammy Award winner and one of rock's most unconventional frontmen, will perform "Elect the Dead Symphony" — a very special orchestral interpretation of Tankian's critically acclaimed solo debut "Elect the Dead" — for two very special live shows to take place this summer.

Tankian will recreate "Elect the Dead Symphony" — which had its dynamic inaugural performance at New Zealand's majestic Auckland Town Hall with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in March 2009 — with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at Chastain Park Amphitheater on July 9 in Atlanta, and with an orchestra put together by The Greek Theatre on July 30 at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The shows follow a series of symphonic performances Tankian is giving in Europe in June.
The performance in New Zealand has also been captured on the "Elect the Dead Symphony" CD/DVD, which was released by Serjical Strike/Reprise Records on March 9, 2010.

The iTunes LP version of "Elect the Dead Symphony" went on sale exclusively on iTunes on February 23, a full two weeks before the CD/DVD package was released by Serjical Strike/Reprise Records. The long-form concert film also went on sale exclusively on the iTunes store.

This iTunes LP version features 14 tracks from "Elect the Dead Symphony". It also recreates the "LP" experience by providing exclusive photos, complete lyrics, credits, and acknowledgements, plus a behind-the-scenes interview with Tankian and others involved in the creation of the "Elect the Dead Symphony" CD/DVD experience.

"Elect the Dead Symphony" contains elements of psychedelia, classical, and the trademark surrealist images and skewed time signatures that Tankian has made his own, all of which were scored by Tankian himself and arranged for full orchestra by respected New Zealand composer John Psathas. The album has been mixed by Dutch musician Junkie XL, known for his remixes for such artists as BRITNEY SPEARS, BEASTIE BOYS, COLDPLAY, MICHAEL BUBLÉ, MADONNA, SCISSOR SISTERS, SARAH MCLACHLAN, and many more.

Tankian is also working on his second solo album, which is tentatively titled "Music Without Borders" and which the singer describes as "electro-orchestral-jazz-rock." He hopes to have the album out by late summer.

Tankian's band, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, has been on hiatus since late 2006 and shows no signs of regrouping any time soon.
