In what year did a group of inveterate scammers appear. Inveterate scammers

In the 90s, the pop group " Inveterate scammers"was at the top of popularity and collected full houses throughout the country. Today, Sergey Amoralov and Tom-Chaos look different, but they perform the same favorite hits by everyone - “Girls are different”, “I love”, “And by the river”. The other day, the artists gave a frank joint interview one of the Russian media and told about their life and work.

Members of the “Inveterate Scammers” group, 38-year-old Sergey Amoralov and 45-year-old Tom-Khaos (the artist’s real name is Vyacheslav Zinurov, - approx. Woman.ru) still gather full houses, lighting up their own hits twenty years ago. But now in aged and plump men it is difficult to recognize the former young brawlers. Sergey does not mind that he and his colleague and old friend have changed a lot.

“It would be strange if nothing changed for us, and we would also run like boys. Of course, when I look at my reflection in the mirror, I see a slightly different dude there. And he already has slightly different thoughts than they were 20 years ago. Then we had a wind in our heads, ”said Amoralov (his real name Surovenko) in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

During the years that have flown by since the heyday of the group's popularity, one of the participants, Igor Bogomazov, left it, and Andrei Repnikov, who not so long ago got into a major accident and spent two months in a coma, is now performing in his place. Musicians do not pursue fame and even criticize fellow celebrities: “We never liked being recognized, we were encrypted all the time. We are not the type to go out: here I am, the star. Now the artists are like that - once they showed on TV and immediately: “Where is my security, where is the photo?”. And yes, the music is weird. I want it to scratch, so that you find yourself in the text. And then ... such a Buzova. Just super, brilliant, I have all 10 albums! In the personal life of Sergei and Vyacheslav, everything is in order: Amoralov has been married to ex-model Maria Edelweiss for 9 years, and Zinurov is married to former soloist group "Cream" Evgenia Sinitskaya.
