System Of A Down Interview

Yup, it's a interview with SOAD back then when they were coming out w/ Toxicity =). It's really great X3...

[@VikoTheBassist]

Four different band members, four different beards

[@martinfinnegan4436]

Serj: I do whatever music I want, I don't give a fuck what my fans want. Well he wasn't lying..

[@Vibing]

Martin Finnegan Dont look at it in a negative way. If hes done hes done. It was a good fucking ride.

[@KB-xx2sn]

Martin Finnegan Hell yea

[@alexhennigh5242]

XATAN Agreed. I really wish i could have seen them perform but I'll never hold any ill will towards any of them if its over. Their music has gotten me through some of the roughest parts of my childhood and ill be forever grateful

People are still with hopes, but it's kinda obvious that they're not going to release anything anymore... Just do shows.

serj seemed more introverted in the old days

Deadeyes X Makes sense. Twas the peak of Islamaphobia here in the states and even though he isnt muslim most people cant tell the difference so im sure hes taken his fair share of unnecessary bullshit for simply being born of middle east decent. Thank fuck he's a brilliant mind and made something so positive of it all

Serj looks like a fucking badass. That hair and beard is just so fucking hot (i'm straight). Then there's his personality and his amazing lyrical songwriting skills. He is a deep, shy, complex human being when in an interview but a total badass, insane energetic frontman on stage. Truly and truly another better James Hetfield.

[@swiftyrocks08]

System separated to create new sounding art. I love the albums Serj has made, as well as the one Daron made. I love serjs newest album harakiri. It is a very honest album that discusses the damage we are doing to our planet, and our connection to the universe. We are not separate energy. We are the collective infinite creation. The creation that comes from our perception. Serj did a beautiful job expressing how we must wake up from the illusion of separation and realize the we are collective.
