My main interest is to help other people understand themselves and their potential. I believe it is within all of us to really be able to chase our dreams and be successful at it. It's time for all of us to realize that we all have something special within us to be the greatest we can possibly be. It might be something you have to search deep within you to find or it might just be a change of scenery. But either way, we all have the power to go out and NOT have to work some bullshit job just to make ends meet. Ultimately, how much more rewarding is it to make money doing what you LOVE? There's no reason we need to NOT do that. WE ARE ALL BETTER THAN THAT!
Let's see, what else? Concerts particularly metal concerts, listening to my ipod and all the metal I have stored up there, listening to music REALLY loud, loving bands that people hate like Insane Clown Posse and Mindless Self Indulgence, Star Wars, Hellblazer, Sandman, Vertigo Books, KISS, getting tattooed (man, it's been a while!), buying toys, going to comic book conventions, bounty hunters, Sith Lords, Bounty Hunter Clothing, Room 13 Clothing, Sik World Clothing, collecting and watching DVDs...playing video games especially (kinda obvious) Star Wars Battlefronts, Garth Ennis, Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, Chimaira, Machine Head, I'm sure I'll think about more soon...i'm kinda strapped for time...
With WAR MACHINE ENTERTAINMENT working furiously to break new and revolutionary artists and bands, we want to make sure you all get to check out what we have going on at all times!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLACK CHAPEL
The band to check out now is BLACK CHAPEL from Los Angeles, CA! An amazing blend of old school thrash mixed with the epic feel of power and black metal! They recently won the AIRPLAY DIRECT "All Things Digital Hard Rock/Heavy Metal" contest and are now on their way to play the Indianapolis Metalfest in September!! Read all about it HERE!!
There are some that call his art, morbidly cute, and there are some that just think he's just a demented genious...however, no matter what you think, Anthony Clarkson's art is NOT to be trivialized. It creeps and oozes, grabbing you with the dark tentacles from the back of your mind where darkest secrets and isolation rest. You won't ever know about Anthony Clarkson until you actually view his artwork, until you feel the perpetual darkness within...Enter THE GRIM WONDERLAND...
MACABRE-CON: THE NEW HORROR CONVENTION IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!
As much as we love things like the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors, we also know that there is still a lack of decent horror conventions out there. Which leads me to: MACABRE-CON 2008!!
From December 5-7, 2008 at the Pomona Fairplex in Pomona, CA (home to Warped Tour, Tattoo Expos, and other cool events), Macabre-Con will be bringing in a variety of vendors, celebrities (including Hellboy's DOUG JONES and a Night of Living Dead Reunion!), bands (Powerman 5000, Green Jelly, Black Chapel and more!), freak shows, contests and lots more!!

Metal is in my blood. It always has been and always will be. I've worked at places like Roadrunner Records and Century Media Records...none of them gave me what I wanted which was the opportunity to REALLY help metal out in a serious way. Now, I finally have that outlet to help metal bands out in a way that doesn't put money in someone else's pocket. Starting NOW, WAR MACHINE ENTERTAINMENT is going to make that impact...one that will bring things back to where they need to be...in the hands of the FANS and the people who are truly dedicated to showing people that metal is not a lifestyle, it's a fuckin CULTURE! Lifestyles are fads, lifestyles are trends, they come and go as do the poseurs who suck them in but a culture is forever.
METAL is a culture and it's here to fucking stay!
That being said, click on the following banners to see interviews I've done...they're pretty cool...
....
Here's a video you should ALL check out...this is a video a fan did for one of my favorite bands, CLUTCH, from one of my favorite albums,coincidentally also called CLUTCH! This is the video for ANIMAL FARM and even though it came out in 1995, it's as fuckin relevant now as it ever was back then! I hope you all dig it!

Pantera (RIP DIMEBAG DARRELL...A god among men...) There is nothing that can be said now that hasn't been said about him, his life and his unnecessary death. Everyday that passes, I find it hard not to think of him and what he has given so many of us. I've seen people with photos with him and I have to say that I'm sad that I never got a picture with him myself and now I'm poorer in spirit because of it. However, that doesn't take away from what he's given me in my life and that was hope and determination. I hope he's given many of you something equally as powerful if not moreso. So if you're really a Dimebag fan, then you'll rock this buddy icon:

Books
Stephen King's Dark Tower Series is fucking UNREAL! If you haven't read this and you like Stephen King, FUCKING PICK THIS SERIES UP!!! It's like Clint Eastwood a la The Good, The Bad and the Ugly/Fistful of Dollars meets Lord of the Rings meets Mad Max! It's a SICK read!
Also check out: ANGELS AND DEMONS by Dan Brown, the guy who wrote "THE DAVINCI CODE". THE DAVINCI CODE is the sequel to ANGELS AND DEMONS. It's all about the Catholic Church, conspiracies, science, the existence of God, and the destruction of the planet. If you love reading about how the Catholic Church has fucked over the entire world and how good it would feel to get back at them, I highly recommend it! It's a fuckin fast read too!!
Other than that, I'm a big fan of PREACHER, The Punisher, Hellblazer and pretty much anything Garth Ennis writes. I also dig on any VERTIGO titles from DC (Swamp Thing, Y the Last Man, Sandman, etc)
Some books you all should check out:
Batman: HUSH
Batman: The Long Halloween
Batman: The Cult
Batman: Arkham Asylum
PREACHER: (The collected series) Books 1-10...I can guarantee you will NEVER have read a more FUCKED up comic book in your life!!
"God doesn't care if you say 'motherfucker"
Sandman: the entire series! Pick it up! Another series that'll just turn your fucking world upside down!
Hellblazer: Fuck the movie with Keanu Reeves! That was the biggest load of BULLSHIT I'd seen in a long long time! They set the movie in Los Angeles, the LEAST magical place on earth rather than England where it's supposed to take place! It's like they got a script for a different movie, put some Constantine-ish additions to it and then spewed out that crap. Here's a hint, next time you get someone to play an Englishman, GET AN ENGLISH MAN, not a retard surfer/actor wannabe! The book versions of the stories are way more fucking intense than that movie! And besides, anyone who can give the devil the finger and walk away gets my fuckin vote!! The one to check out is the book called, "DANGEROUS HABITS"
"The good lord appreciates honesty. If you feel like an asshole in your suit, you are quite at liberty to say so."
SIN CITY: A Dame to Kill For
Sin CITY: That Yellow Rat Bastard
SIN CITY: The Big Fat Kill
Man, I could go on and on...

Hey there all,
Yeah, it's RO KOHLI, aka THE BROWNSATAN here to let you know what's what. In the last few months or years (who can tell anymore) a lot of things have changed for me. I've had ideas that have been shot down, I've been let down, beaten up and left for dead but now that things have changed for me in in some really amazing ways, I'm back on track with making the world a better place for people into the same stuff I am. You know what I mean...things like METAL, TOYS, COMIC BOOKS, MOVIES, the whole bit!
About me...well, here's the part where I have to be completely honest. You see, as THE BROWNSATAN, I'm responsible for being there for the people who I care about and in the last few years or so, I've had to take care of myself and a lot of the messes that I've made. I don't mind doing that but now is the time for me to get back to thinking about helping out the people I TRULY care about...my people, my crews both old and new...
At first, I started with WAR MACHINE MARKETING which is still active and will still accomplish what it needs to on the street marketing front. It's a long tough crawl, but that part will be up and running soon enough.
However, until recently, me and my partner in crime, Jodie Wilson, have decided to start managing bands and artists. Well, actually so far it's just ONE band (BLACK CHAPEL and ONE artist (ANTHONY CLARKSON) which is cool with us.
But now that we're doing management AND marketing, we decided that WAR MACHINE MARKETING wasn't quite enough to envelope ALL our ideas and dreams. So we came up with...
This way we can bring in cool people who do great shit! If you're a great band, an artist, a writer, whatever...if you're the bomb, then chances are we'd like to check you out and see how we can help.
In the past, I would have started it and then put it to the side in favor of something else that I thought would get me to my goals faster.
So maybe you're still asking, what IS War Machine Marketing? Well, it’s a new kind of street marketing company. It’s not your typical ‘stand outside the concert handing out flyers to a bunch of drunken nimrods’ type of street marketing. It’s about being smarter, more creative, more daring and savvier.
If you’re into marketing, taking marketing classes or just wanna promote lots of cool shit to people like us, then this is the place for YOU!!
However, if you wanna just slack off, be boring handing out flyers in front of a club after a show, then go fuck yourself. I have no time for people like you. I want people who not only wanna work but also who want to realize all the cool shit that’s out there for people like us. There’s a huge world out there where we can reap the perks of doing some really cool street marketing. The BEST part is that it’s not even that hard! It just takes a LITTLE bit of thinking, a whole lot of passion and the understanding that sometimes we’re just gonna have to get our hands dirty.
If you wanna join THE WAR MACHINE, email me ALL your info (that includes your full name, address, email, cell phone number, etc) to warmachineent@yahoo.com
The website is in the process of being completed as we speak. If you want to get a great page made, you should check out my boy, Dan McCaulley at McCaulley Designs. Dan is by far the best web designer I've ever worked with and he's super fair and has great prices! If you're looking to get a site done, this may sound cheesy but Dan IS the man!!
Who I'd like to meet: Well, let's see...I've met Gene Simmons (THE MAN!!) and I've met all the people who play Boba Fett so to be honest, there's not many more I HAVE to meet. Since meeting those two, I can pretty much die happy.
The only people I wanna meet are people who wanna keep making metal and dark pop culture bigger and bigger! If you're into Star Wars, metal, Spawn, cool action figures, horror or sci fi movies, books, and that sort of thing...THAT'S who i wanna meet! I'm looking for people who want to make the world at large see what we have and make it bigger and better! I wanna meet the people who LIVE this life! Who BREATHE this life! Who LOVE this life! I want to meet people who want to make their mark on this fucking world!
Who do I NOT wanna meet? Slackers, wannabes, elitists (even metal elitists), bullshit artists, wasters of time, tweakers, mongoloids, burnouts, wastes of space, and anyone else who thinks being lazy and complacent is the way to go. GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!
