SOAD’s John Dolmayan Talks About His Eminem Cover: โ€œI Like Eminem But I Don’t Like Rapโ€

During an appearance with Metal Hammer, John Dolmayan, the drummer of the American-Armenian heavy metal band System of a Down, has just talked about his latest solo album called These Grey Men, which was released on February 28, and shared his thoughts about his Eminem cover Rock Bottom.

โ€œI don’t have a great explanation on that one,โ€ he said. โ€œI do like Eminem, I like his syncopation, but I don’t like rap, I find it kind of boring. But I love this song, although I don’t know why.

โ€œIt’s, like, I don’t know why I like banana ice cream! I feel like I’m the only person that does… and I don’t like chocolate ice cream… unless it has banana ice cream with it. So, that’s what this song is; banana ice cream and chocolate ice cream.โ€

John also touched what the people wanted from him.

โ€œPeople have been asking me to do a drum solo for ages, but in a live show, the only two people that should do a drum solo are Neil Peart and John Bonham. No one else, and both of those people have passed away so it isnโ€™t going to happen. From my end, I know I’m capable of doing it.โ€

John Dolmayan‘s latest solo album These Grey Men features 8 tracks in total.
