That led to work researching for Casey Kasem's countdown shows, writing and producing the alternative and active rock-related prep services SpinFax, The Fax, and Rip, Read and Rock, producing and writing for Westwood One's concert series as well as doing interviews across all music and entertainment formats.rnrnSince joining Loudwire in 2012, he's served as senior editor and is one of the writers for the site, while also interviewing bands and covering and photographing music festivals and concerts.

Active in one shape or another since 1992, System of a Down was eventually championed by producer-to-the-stars, Rick Rubin, who signed them to his American Recordings in 1997. For a while, though, it seemed as though SOAD’s eponymous debut (a game-changing, critically acclaimed affair, once described as Faith no more jamming with Slayer) might prove too original and idiosyncratic to attract a mainstream audience. But, with the help of relentless touring over a near-three-year period and the resulting, snowballing word-of-mouth, System of a Down saw their 2001 sophomore LP, ‘Toxicity,’ explode straight to number one upon release, eventually selling an estimated 12 million copies worldwide. A collection of unfinished demos named ‘Steal this Album’ was released in late 2002, after MP3s of the songs were accidentally leaked, and the band’s popularity continued to build, up to and beyond, the dual release of ‘Mezmerize’ [SIC] and ‘Hypnotize’ in 2005, both of which also debuted at number one. The following year, SOAD initiated an official, four-year hiatus while its principals explored other projects, and the group reunited for touring purposes in 2010, with no immediate plans to record new material.”,”post_count”:377,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/system-of-a-down/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/system-of-a-down/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:544,”object_id”:591245}],”categories”:[{“id”:1560,”slug”:”metal”,”title”:”Metal”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:24816,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1571,”object_id”:591245},{“id”:6,”slug”:”news”,”title”:”News”,”description”:”Rock news.”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:45780,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/news/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/news/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:6,”object_id”:591245},{“id”:1559,”slug”:”rock”,”title”:”Rock”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:27820,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/rock/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/rock/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1570,”object_id”:591245}],”authors”:[{“id”:623121,”slug”:”chadchilders”,”name”:”Chad Childers”,”first_name”:”Chad”,”last_name”:”Childers”,”nickname”:”chadchilders”,”url”:”//loudwire.com/author/chadchilders/”,”description”:”Chad Childers has been a music lover since his parents dragged him along to an Aerosmith/Bachman Turner Overdrive show as an infant.
