According to Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison, he and Chaos were to write and perform with Iggy Pop on the album that later became "Beat 'Em Up", until the latter decided to actually do the album with his usual backing band only a few days before the recording was to take place with producer Ross Robinson.
Chaos started the band Scars on Broadway with Daron Malakian. Which won him a Grammy for co-writing "B.Y.O.B." with Daron Malakian that can be heard on System of a Down's album Mezmerize. A version of the song with Chaos on vocals can be heard on the leaked Scars on Broadway Ghetto Blaster Rehearsals from 2003. However, in 2010 a court dismissed his charge.
Chaos performed with former members of The Damned; Rat Scabies and Brian James, celebrating 30-year anniversary of the release of The Damned's debut album "Damned Damned Damned", by performing the LP in its entirety at The 100 Club in London in 2006. This caused some controversy among the Damned's fanbase, because the line-up with Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible were still an active musical outfit. Chaos provides vocals for black metal supergroup Scum as well as backing vocals on the Vanilla Ice album Hard to Swallow. He is also featured on the Rise Above: 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three album on the track "Depression", and has spoken out publicly in support of the cause.
In 2006, Chaos started the Amen "Angry Brigade", an online database/fan club where - after making payment - customers have access to the newest music, rare MP3s, news, instrumentals, videos etc.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
