SOAD’s John Dolmayan Praises Pink Floyd: โ€œI Listened ‘The Wall’ Literally Every Dayโ€

In a new appearance on Metal Hammer, the Armenian-American musicianย John Dolmayan, best known as the drummer of the Grammy Award-winnerย heavy metal band System of a Down, has talked about the English rock band Pink Floyd and praised them mentioning their album.

โ€œI listened to this album every day for one year straight, it used to take me half an hour to walk to school and half an hour back, and when I was a kid I had a little Walkman with this album on, and I listened to it literally every day.โ€

John has also said he loves Pink Floyd in general, but admitted that if he need to choose an album to describe them, he said it would be โ€œThe Wall.โ€

โ€œI love Pink Floyd in general, not so much the early stuff, thatโ€™s not really my taste, but once they got in to albums like Animals I was in. But, if Pink Floyd only had to exist for one album, it would be The Wall, itโ€™s such a groundbreaking album, moving, touching in every way possible.โ€

He said the band’s legendary bassist Roger Waters is a genius.

โ€œI watched the film fifty times! I could talk for a day on this album, the depth of sorrow and experiences that made that album! I just think Roger Walters is a genius and this is a perfect record.โ€

Pink Floyd has released its eleventh studio album The Wall onย 30 November 1979 on Harvest and Columbia Records.
