Daron & Serj Interview BDO 02 (part 1)

Interview with Serj and Daron on Big Day Out 2002.

[@aGothicStory]

Daron's interviews are amazing because he's toying with you the whole time.

[@lucascesar029]

"what to expect from the video?" "us." lol i'm dying

[@iimwithstupid8595]

Everybody: *Likes Daron* Meanwhile me: *Really likes Serj*

[@goticarka]

i love both but daron is definitely my favourite from the two of them

[@Thepaininside]

Me: *Shavo Odajian that is not there*

[@Masterofathletics]

"Our music pretty much means nothing, except for what it means to you. So it's like, you know, it doesn't really mean much. Whatever it means to you that's what it means basically. And that meant nothing so take that !" awesome !!!

[@NickStoneMusic]

SOAD really doesn't sugarcoat much, they pretty much answer any question as modestly blunt as possible. It's refreshing to see a band say their music doesn't mean anything, especially when it really does.

[@CinemaZebra]

Daron's comebacks are genius.

[@JohnCena-yy7wk]

It's funny hearing the interviewer saying Wrestling Is fake, knowing that Daron Is a big Wrestling fan lol

[@oui2611]

and its funny u commenting on it with a blank profile pic

[@nonZensically]

"Jets and Limousines don't define rock" and a lovely one from daron: "Crack does!"

[@jakobeennoob]

daron is the coolest man on earth

[@lawrargh]

DARON YOURE BEAUTIFUL

[@aliceposoldova8023]

Daron is so funny. Whatever he says it's fucking funny. Guess nobody's bored with him in personal life! :)

[@nmoss]

Soad is awesome, I can't wait for Serj's solo album this fall.

[@BFKModz]

"Jets and limousines dont define rock." "Crack defines Rock."

[@thebaconcruesader]

i love how they look around when Libby starts speaking lmfao!!

[@BalloonCement]

haha.. they always give people a hard time when they try and interview them. Daron always thinks of something smart to reply with, Serj just plays along. SERJ IS GOD.

[@oui2611]

i think you got it backwards, its usually serj saying something eloquent and daron goofing off

[@DaronMalakian0921]

Why only serj? Daron too

[@Beanjolie]

I love Dar's laugh :DDD

[@farinurlaub]

Daron: "Is that god?" this nguys are great!!

[@300daysandnights]

this in my opinion was their best concert.

[@soadxxhm1460]

[@handmiadenofgod]

Once agian... if I hadn't only been 8 years old and living in America back then, I would have given just about anything to be there!

[@squeezeslemons]

Daron is fuckin hilarious

[@Kimiyadori]

i don´t know...but in this video daron is kinda...cute^.^ i mean when he says "that wasn´t us!" (1:21) or "that was me??" (4:11) or what he says at 1:41...is it "it´s pretty tough" ?? it´s just....AWWWW ^____^ ♥ ♥ ♥

[@_virtualvisions]

[@jchilds2003]

Football jersey lol, that was pretty funny. I love the system, they are quite amazing. They rarely give a straight answer when there are multible band members present, they are probably the most badass motherfuckers ever.

[@jenessapoo]

[@Sofiella]

i wish we could go back in time to those years when toxicity was coming out.

[@bran192]

[@mhymullaney]

Thx:*

[@MikeTrainormusic]

yeah like pepperoni and green peppers mushrooms olives chives!

[@justplainbig]

Wait God!!!

[@ammo_1337]

Does that steve person on the phone mention Ric Flair? :P

[@omglollmao123]

@omglollmao123 And finally... I may be speculating here, but I suspect Serj's sometimes heavily-accented vocals and strange, guttural pronunciation of words is really just influenced by his native accent & Armenian pronunciation of English. E.g. Listen to "Pictures", "Aerials", "Soil", "Holy Mountains" You can tell his accent has still stuck with him, even though he moved to America when he was 6 years old, slight traces of an accent still remain in his speech. Same goes for Shavo's accent.

[@ilwcfg1]

serj is the coolest

[@HAUEhuaheau91]

If the pope likes SOAD, then ill begin to love him too XD

[@divine0enigma]

What's to expect from the new video? "Us" LOL

[@nessaclinton]

Daron. Is. Stoned. That was me? Wow.

[@SalvadorDardy]

I feel sorry for anyone who interviews SOAD. They have to able to handle it. Andrew G is alright at it. Better than Juliya. True System fans will find it funny, others will be dissapointed

[@HVPinc]

dude what channel is this!!! (i know this is old but i've seen the symbol so many times...)

[@giorgos93]

Give soad back to work wanna hearr new album :'(

[@CrackTheIce]

its pretty taff or sth like that ^^

[@tpcardoso]

john and shavo never show up T.T

[@poser_disposer]

lol is that god?

[@MiffNyc]

i think they are high

[@omglollmao123]

@omglollmao123 Continuing on from that, the Armenian influence on their music also extends to their lyrics. I mean P.L.U.C.K. & Holy Mountains are quite obviously explicitly songs about the Armenian genocide but more than that, even Chop Suey's lyrics ("Self-Righteous Suicide" & "Why have you forsaken me?") are influenced by a poem written by an Armenian priest who famously said "Armenia is committing it's self-righteous suicide." Hence why the original title of Chop Suey was "Suicide".
