Summary

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk my guest is the incredible John Dolmayan drummer for one of the heaviest most original bands I have ever seen System Of A Down.

John sits down with me and talks about the history of System and how he joined the group in the early days. Also we get into what its like to work with producer Rick Rubin, Why there is no new record,John's love of comic books and of course his new covers project These Grey Men.

It was an honor to talk to John. His drumming is fierce and totally original and he has mad passion for what ever he does no matter what the project is.

We also talk about his brand new comic book he is writing that will be out in July.

Thanks for tuning in and remember keep the candles lit.
