Grigoryan arms: - "Revolution or death," The motto "Crematorium"

Rumors about famous people, as they say, the earth is full of. Poor Grigoryan, the leader of the "crematorium" is undoubtedly a major artist. Thus say what he is buying property in Armenia and will move into the home, have attracted great interest. The whole truth about his changed attitude towards life, as well as the women and children, said Mr. Grigoryan us, sitting in his studio. - So, what is your departure to Armenia? - Anywhere I do not want to leave. Sister just decided to give me a small piece of land with a beautiful view of Mount Ararat - musician says "MK". - Seeing all this beauty, also remembered his dream of thirty years ago. I had just read "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" Hemingway. I am already old, sitting in a lounge chair next - St. Bernard. On the breast a barrel liquor, I drank it, smoking a cigar and looking at Kilimanjaro. The confluence of obscure circumstances - you dream of something, somehow appears in a dream, then suddenly called my sister and said, "Come, I have a surprise for you." Now I am thinking that you build a house there. But I have a friend who invites him to live in San Francisco. Proposes to engage in wine making. I have looked after for viticulture. If you agree, then you have to go a long time. In another way, it is impossible. Makes no sense. What poor Grigoryan Erofeev hates rock 'n' roll - it's true that you changed a lot today, refused carbon lifestyle, the highly recognizable in the lyrics of the band? - Oh, that's a long time in the past. Today's motto - Seriously "revolution or death."! Our six-year break, which was between "myth" and "Amsterdam" has led to revolutionary changes in the brain. I suddenly realized that changes my perception of the world. In life, I am now a respectable guy, but on the stage - a reckless artist. - So, not hits like "Kondratieff" born "little girl", "White Columns", "leprosarium"? - It is possible for such hits as "Elsa" and "wind" not born, but "Amsterdam" is clearly expanding our audience, otherwise people will not go to the shows. - But the former hype surrounding the group no longer there? - The hype is long gone. To a group in general. (Laughs) It ended, ended as a social protest and tearing shirts. And survived the group its own philosophy and personality, who has learned to keep sane dialogue with the audience. - You said that a lot has changed internally. And his bank of pure alcohol know all your fans hit "Ugly Elsa," you had? - The fact of the matter is that ... the three things that I always accompanied by life, or parasitism, or alcoholism, or bl dstva not leave at all! You know, you can not play as many shows with people every day, "after last night." Otherwise, the team will be with the drunken keeper, constantly facing targets. We have always believed that if you are a heavy smoker or a drinker, you must go to the doctor and pay him millions to try to recover itself. But after a few days take back to the old. In my example, I understand that this is not so. If something is tired, you have to throw. I also happen to smoke and deadly binges. They just were not interested in me. For example, I never thought I could enjoy sober sex. (Laughs) It turns out you can! But mostly sex replaces love. Love, and then sex. Now it is just normal output and weapons to all the idiocy that all sides are trying to climb into your soul counteract. Only love is the true sign. - But no, I think it would be possible to sober adventures that happened to you, for example, in the company of Benedict Erofeev. You once told me that, roasted as a guest of a young lady, you and he masters aquarium fish. - Well know, many people do not realize that when life was different. There were no clubs razvlekuhi different. Therefore, people usually spend time in the other party, by a nodding acquaintance in Pivnyak or taverns. And these apartments a meeting interesting people in Moscow were many. And there were also a lot. Erofeev just somehow out of this circle. And in this district met musician known players, including thieves. How to sponsor a cardinal in the "pit", the "crematorium" attempts. Put it at the time. So the audience was different. Not to mention the countless friends with actors. When we went to the theater Mayakovsky recording the day, like working in a restaurant WTO. If alcohol was a kind soprovodilovkoy for people: stress, it is easier to meet. And there were many people, in contrast to the present day, in assemblies which could give you what you do not. Poor Grigoryan - What did you Erofeev? - Nothing. Because he's as fast as it was in our company, said he hated rock 'n' roll. And he came to us by chance - landlady work beside him in the hut. Apparently he did, because he was in a padded jacket. Although the treat was interesting. But then I have only allocated when I read Erofeev "Moscow-Petushki". I did not know then that he was the author of the great novel. - I see you and stop smoking? - Yes, smoking is also tied. Never thought that I could throw. And he stopped and began to smell. (Laughs) And carried away ... Perfume. Recently brought from Egypt, a number of oil. And I found an interesting way, the truth, I do not know if it is officially used in the perfume industry - mix them with alcohol. Oils provide a very interesting smell, mixed with the single malt whiskey. I already have a male and female lines. And my kids have me. Son goes to college with my taste, girls are happy. And when asked what kind of perfume, he says - English. We smell with English is not very much, so he and smart. "We all have a chance '- In the 90 in this country have problems with the movie, with rock music. You could feel for you? There was a time when you do not understand how we live? - It happened to me in the third millennium. With the beginning of the year to throw 2001, problems began with the group, conflicts between the parties. We have to develop ceased writing new songs. We had to run, but there were spiritual masturbation and compassion. But was gradually found out of this impasse. Today, the group has been completely updated, and the only reason there was "Amsterdam" and we went back to the top of the charts. - Many of the 80 musicians say they helped with the revival of the former fans, with the rich, the group was invited to forget, his Sabantui. - It's not about us. Although "krematorskaya" audience too fat. We have always had a different thing, a fabulous life. Worth something to be desired when it came to this. For example, our studio. Everything that happens, happens by accident and fell from the sky. Creativity interests me much more than the party with the right people and earn money. They appear. But how easily it came to me, just as well with them and I go. "I will not turn into a bronze bust" - Many of the young musicians, the same "factory", hold almost musical gods. Have you ever thought of himself as a rock legend? On stage, you're in 1983. - When journalists ask the question, where the word "legend", I immediately begin to think,,, I'm old. There is a sense base, and you're on it - the monument. Lenin, hand pointing into the distance. So I cringe when I start sacred. I believe that the "Crematorium" was interesting at the end of the last century, but are needed in this. The fact that we found a new form of existence, I am very interested. So do not turn into a bronze bust. A young, able, and feel divine. I usually do not the "Vendor" want. This attempt to artificially someone is blind, can have negative consequences, because you skip Mozart and Paganini. Young, and he learns that he is m ... and not in the "format", the guy stop believing in yourself. An adaptation to the screen, as in fact happens, something pretzel bablonavtom rich man These artificially engineering system I absolutely do not like. But this is our show-business, where all the following principles: blind bit of a hurry, and to show. - Friendship with other musicians jumped on you? - Friendly relations have always been close friends - no people who work in an area, it's hard to find friends. We have recently met at the airport with the musicians of the "Time Machine". And I remembered how in his youth went to their concerts. A few times brought a drum Ephraim. Or drank again with Chris Kelme port. Around the old rocker - is piety, as a teacher. And their peers only chummy relationship. A pat on the shoulder at a meeting, or sometimes other musicians listen to a concert. But now there was a big problem. Musicians have stopped listening to each other. Each goes on his mare. "I - festive Daddy" - Family prevents musician? - Probably, I'm on my way to the family. (Laughs) With the adult population have a family something you can solve. But with the children - a problem. Because she needs me, and I did not even have time to meet them. And it is very difficult canoe, the other side of rock 'n' roll. - The children communicate with each other? By Grisha with Elizabeth from his first wife of Ira, Anna -. His wife Daria - Not really. She and big age gap. Sometimes I collect children. I have pictures of where we are all together. But this is a very serious disadvantage that I am every day, like a father. While on the other side I put them financially, and it's a special meaning in my life. As can sometimes feel like a family, a loving father ... But mostly I'm talking as a holiday father. Came a knock on the head, feet, signed diary. At this all ends. - Admit it, you were jealous spouse fans? - Sometimes, of course. I flew out the window pagers, cell phones and even laptops once flew. This happened when women were monitored for incoming messages. (Laughs) - and what to say to them? - Little did fools in the world? The fans send all the little things ... I have the phone number for the fourth last year. Once known will appear immediately crazy girls, sexy messages with details clearly to the fact that they will be read by someone else. But now my already accustomed. "Burns has every five years" - What do you think about statements like feel, "said a man - man has done" - Said the boy, the boy said ... Not really. Russia's modern life is not so simple. It is better not to promise than to promise and not do it. But now there is so much propaganda, idiocy and stupidity. If you are contacted, God forbid, with some state agencies, then sooner or later you will get fail in the shit. It is better to get. Circle that fits your idea of decency and propriety I understand it a narrow but strong I that the agreement with the governmental organizations and political leaders to work together instantly into a cash cow that was required to use the name of the same propaganda on. You will not remember how to turn into a slave. - I'm actually talking about the hat. You once said that it will go now, without acting. Why is it again? - No, I said, I'll burn it. And this happens every five years. Remember the words of the film: "We go every New Year's Eve in the bathroom?" So, every five years, we burn the hat. This year, slept again - 25 years after all. Then it will be a new hat. And if she would live to their fifth birthday, but also burned. But the revolutionary moment when I told you at the beginning, and touched not only the changes in lifestyle and music, but also on stage. Now half of the concert, I have the "Amsterdam" directed outfit. Is the kind of game. The illusion that needed on stage. Topics and interesting concerts, they require an external transformation. Thus, the actors are often make-up, change clothes. And for me it is - hats. - I see you have a whole collection of them. - That's all the fans. There is not a hat that I bought. All gladly accepted the gift. - What is your collection of bottle openers? - Expand. The hotel and not my hobby left. Nanoshu damage to each room, which was visited. Now the guys from the group joined. "There are people who can not shake hands" - You do not have time to write and the pictures, and on the Crimean Val exhibition ... - This is a very funny story. Travel through the Crimean bridge and CHA says - poor Grigoryan, an exhibition of paintings. And just two weeks, as Lenin's Mausoleum. But it was so, just for fun made. I used to drink in the workshops of fellow painters. A drunk, artists began to paint our girls, naked as a rule. I also do not mind playing in the artist. Then I learned how to paint, what background and how to stop the stroke count. At one point I decided to try my luck. But the fact that this could lead to such a jungle ... When I was asked to show, I added a condition: if hudsovet CHA takes my picture, incognito, no last name. First, they have chosen, and then there was my name. - But do not pull only girl. For example, the writing of such films as "Old Pedro Troeglupoff" that show your enemies. - In my life were different sessions. Most people are good and decent. But there are enough of all the dirt. I just needed a collective image. It is important not to forget the lessons of the past! If I, the Lord God, I would hang on the wall portrait of Lucifer. If it would hang a Jesus Christ Judas certainly. Always remember that meanness and treachery. It is very important for my character, I'm not very picky and very trusting. And as in our business, you can easily get in (we have no control over our issues not keep paperwork, usually work on probation), you benefit from us is very simple. The painting is on this. There are people who can not shake hands. - But these people often hold positions of responsibility. And to know, not about your relationship with them, you exclude a line in the wheel? - It is better to live than to propose that you think about it, not even with respect and patience. You can not, if you know what that bastard, to go with him to compromise. At some time in our "crematorium" practice test. Those who came to work for us, we had a hard drinking, fatal. And when the guests start frank, but remained a man - with his friends and you can do things. If turned into cattle cars misanthropic views, it is sober, he is hiding his true colors. If it's a wormhole, then sooner or later it will come. - Your picture is painted in the style of primitivism, but as they say, with Armenian motifs. - I was told the critics that this neo-primitivism with Armenian disabilities. I am the Early Christian and Byzantine miniature Armenia fond, and the idea all around the paint as well to leave, but the characters change and enlarge. And gradually it became manifest. - What is your manifesto Armenian roots? - Thank God, I have not an alcoholic - is also a feature of the Armenians. As Armenians drink is 5000 years, all the weak alcoholic, according to natural selection, irrevocably gone to the other world, and have the most powerful and persistent. This strong genes did not help me become an alcoholic. And probably, sentimentality, which is in me.
