His hair is so cool.
Ok. We think we know how to pronounce his name. But our dear Iranian/Persian friend says it means tree. But then again, when we initially asked her she said it wasn't Persian. So, um, is it Derakh as in Tree?

Whether he was producing and engineering for Coal Chamber or Danzig, or playing in his old 80's hair metal bands: Rough Cutt and Jailhouse, he is not a stranger to the spotlight. Amir is considered the mastermind of technical issues. He uses the name "Amiricol" for his producing. Amir also produced a CD tribute to Rod Stewart that features a cover of "Hot Legs" with guitars and vocals by him and Jay. Amir collects synths, and believes he has every one made. Most come from Japan. Amir hates tomatoes.

Amir's cool.  Duh
Our favorite Amir quote:
I’ve seen strippers dance to our music in clubs all over the country."

“This guy right next to me was talking mad sh*t. I didn’t even notice that he was talking about me until he mentioned my nail polish. I turned around and said, ‘Oh you like it? It’s pretty cool, huh?’.”

Wow, we have a friend! A dude by the name of Robbi Porter was nice enough to look up the meaning of Amir's name and send us the results:
Amir is a unisex name with a Hebrew origin. The meaning:
"From the top of the tree OR Prince.
