She had so many friends

More arty rubbish. Deluded utopians.

Poser

*Pajamas* Daron, Shavo, and John: 😡😠🤬 *Banana banana terracotta pie* Daron, Shavo, and John: 😃🤩😌

First song that popped into my head watching this was Diggy Diggy Hole

He'd love Nanowar of Steel. They have metal songs about tricycles, a guy dating a church's gargoyle, a WWII song about a football match, and one about the planet Uranus with _all_ the butt jokes they could fit.

I don’t want to see a broken record without Rick Rubin ever again

This man is the Raffi of the metal community

Fucking with the metal is FUCKING METAL 🤘

Man,all their albums are just fuckin awesome and there's not one bad song..my sister she passed away and her most favorite songs were Deer Dance, Spiders, Prison Song and Toxicity

Serj hasn't made a single good song solo. NOT ONE

I LOVE " Bounce" pogopogopogopogo

In Germany, we have Knorkator. Lead singer is a trained opera singer, and all of their songs are just weird, absurd, and/or funny.

my man opened "Steal this Album" with a song about how pizza advertisements make him crazy enough to go to therapy. Dude is a legend.

I don’t think anyone can with clear mind look at any SOAD song and come to the conclusion of “they did not fuck with the metal”. I can think of 3 bands that truly messed with the status quo of their genre with every album. SOAD slipknot and the residents. Admittedly my catalog isn’t exceptionally deep

A helluvalotta scary shizz happens on the road. These people are driving next to you. Be aware.

I mean my dumb self would probably just assume "silk pajamas" is code for something crazy like how SUGAR is often seen as code for COCAINE

Thats so dope he mentions Zappa as ive always thought of Serj n SOAD as kinda like a wacky Zappa of the metal world just less technical in some of the Instrumentals but definitely on course with some of the unusual riffs amd wacky lyrics.

I think SoaD is a band you use to get people who aren't sure about metal to have a small taste of it. Then they realize it's the only metal music they'll ever like.

Serj always reminded me of the metal zappa

That's interesting because I've always had System in it's own category/genre in my head, and I've loved them for that. System of a Down is one of the few bands that I'd say doesn't have a bad song. That's rare for me.

This guy was such a breath of fresh air at the time❤

Listened to them for years after discovering them on Jules Holland, never actually seen any interviews with Samuel before and he seems like a really sound guy.

"but I fucked with it enough" *chuckles* Love this guy.

Your special

Great things came along just fine !

Why's Rick keep interrupting on this one

"This is something Zappa would do" he says, looking more like Zappa than ever :D

SOAD Will forever be the exception, the super weird experimental band who somehome was crazy popular with almost everyone in the metal scene or just the alternative scene and commercially successful, and defined a generation of listeners across the world. Nothing sounded like them at the time and nothing does today :)

“Wouldn’t it be such a cool and fun idea to write a metal song about mushroom people and sugar?” Band: 😐…. Fineeee

Serj is like a father to me

I think that attitude is part of what made SOAD standout

Frank Zappa mentioned! Pa-jamma people is one of my favorite songs from Zappa

TERRA COTTA PIE EH!

😂😂

Best band

He would be great at comedy metal! One of my favorite genres to have fun with

Inspiring to hear Jeff admit to being reluctant to Stone and how it took many years to get to a state of love and trust. I imagined they were always close, but knowing they went through what true friends need to endure and eventually became not just bandmates of one of the greatest bands ever to now being true friends is again very inspiring and reminds me of how special are friends are.

That is a shining example of why bands are a NEEDED collaborative effort. He brought the silly, they brought the serious everyone had the talent, from this magic was made!

And looked at what happened…..

The pajama song would of gone so hard

Oh my GOD the way that I love this man completely.

If someone told me he's Steve Vai's cousin, I'd have trouble not believing it

K well I really hope silk pajamas will be made soon

You rock so hard man love your band!!!!

meow meow meow meow meow meow meow

And banana terracotta pies as well, apparently.

Serj was, is and forever will be a mad genius!!

His laugh is everything

im listening to this interview again. its some kind of therapy of seeing someone being so invested in the making the art not necessarily to be a pop girl but just really the driven passion, overcoming challenges of being the sole writer of the album and not caring about people's narratives. its intentional and i love that about her. this is why i can never be invested in another artist rather than camila because she excites me with versatility
