HAHA, Iranian metal music:

[shugs]

That is probably some of the most horrible death metal/thrash core I have ever heard + the guitar riffs are very unimaginative...

The guys in System of a Down are Iranian Armenians you know

But I dont think that counts

I read somewere that only the guitarplayer of System of a down is half-Iranian, half Iraqi. :P Rest are from Lebanon.

[Omid_Sultani]

Iranian metal. It's so bad. Still better than Idin-style singers. :P

[shugs]

Erm.. They are not Lebanese.. three are Armenians man... Because I was born in the UK am I English?

hundreds of results from Google... System of a down + bio:

Malakian, singer Serj Tankian, bassist Shavo Odadjian and drummer John Dolmayan, bonded quickly as friends but also shared Armenian ancestry and mutual disdain for perceived limitations. Their disparate tastes – Jaco Pastorious, Slayer, The Beatles, Faith No More, traditional Armenian folk music – assured from the onset that this would be a band less ordinary.

Perhaps Armenians from Lebanon? :P Just as Andy is Armenian of Iran.

[>Sanchez<]

Uhhhm Omid, they are armenian. Eventhough 2 of them were born in Lebanon, that still doesn't make them lebanese.

I think it's Malakian who has family in Iran.. I read it in some interview in VH1 me thinks...

[Omid_Sultani]

Well Sanchez, By nationality 2 are from Lebanon 1 from Armenia, while Malakian is half Iranian Armenian/half Iraqi Armenian, the rest are Lebanese Armenian.

We have a Iranian singer called Andy, he is also Iranian Armenian.


Yep shugs, Malakian is the one with family in Iran.

I just watched some of the music clips. I was curious about the man who was dancing in an effeminate way. It was labeled funny, so am I right to assume this is not the way Iranian men dance today. Was he making fun of women dancing? That's what it looked like to me.

I also liked the wedding video, but can someone explain what was going on? The women dancing with flower took money from the groom. The bride seemed to want to exhange money for the flower but she didn't succeed. The groom was given the flower in exchange for money by the last woman. There must be some very interesting symbolism here, but it wasn't obvious to me.

Someone mentioned that they do sword dances at weddings too. I'd like to see a video of that if anyone knows of any available.

I found a quote from some old Roman who lived hundreds of years after the Achaemenids who said Cyrus led his people in their national dance. So now I'm researching ancient Persian folk dancing. If anyone has any clips of men, or men and women together doing any kind of folk dancing, I'd appreciate seeing them. I'm a folk dancer myself, so I'd love to have a scene of the king leading his people in dance.

Thanks,

Marcia

The guy in the video that was lebeld funny was imitating one of the famous Persian dance instructors whose name is Khordadian. That's why he was funny and as for the wedding, in Persian weddings usually girls whom are close friends or relatives of bride and groom take the wedding knife and dance with it and they don't give it to the bride and groom to cut the cake unless they give them some money and it's for fun. It can switch between 2 or more girls and that's as far as I know and I don't know if it means something else too.

As for the king's dance I don't know any videos but someone (perhaps Shugs) would have a better clue about them.

Hope it answered your questions abit

Mohammed Khordadian! That's the guy who was arrested for dancing in Iran and given a 10 year suspended sentence! He was forbidden to leave Iran for 10 years, although he had lived and worked in Los Angeles for 20 years. I think that was in 2002. Is he still stuck in Iran, where he can't even pursue his profession?

What do you think of his dancing? I assume the comic was exaggerating a bit. Do you think Khordadian might be dancing in a manner once more common for ancient Persian men? I know they did sword dancing which must have been very macho, but maybe they did more graceful, erotic dancing too.

As to the wedding clip - that was a knife? I thought it was a flower. I could tell it was all in fun, in any case.

Thanks for the info,

Marcia

PS: Here's a picture of Khordadian. I can see how he could be parodied by the funny man in the video.
