System of a Down's John Dolmayan previewed his new album, 'These Gray Men,' with a cover of Radiohead's 'Street Spirit' with Tom Morello
Along with Morello, the “Street Spirit” cover features Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows on vocals, guitarist James Hazley, bassist Tom Copossela and keyboardist Danny Shamoun. Dolmayan provided the drums and arranged the strings and sounds with the the help of Shamoun.
“When John told me he wanted to reimagine some of his favorite songs for an album I was very intrigued,” M. Shadows said in a statement. “I’ve always respected Radiohead but wasn’t familiar with their full catalog. When John sent ‘Street Spirit’ I instantly was blow away by the sounds. Since then I have been on a huge Radiohead kick. Adding Tom Morello to our version was the icing on the cake. I feel this recording stays true to the original while adding John’s overall vision.
“I don’t want to be someone that does just great covers,” Dolmayan says. “If I had any goal it would be that the casual listener wouldn’t know it was necessarily a cover — that it’d be different enough to where they thought, ‘OK, there’s something original happening here.’”4. “Road to Nowhere” — Talking Heads8. “What You Know” — Two Door Cinema Club
