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
"I personally don't think bands should exist forever... unless they are able to break those walls, and be able to present themselves differently." - Serj Tankian 2001 I understand what he means... but damn I'll miss them if their hiatus is permanent.
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
@@alexat420 I mean, do you blame her lol? As fun as it was, imagine yourself in her shoes 😂. Imagine asking questions and a wasted guy just saying fellatio for 26 minutes and talking like a high person? Idk about to you but to me it felt a bit disrespectful and unnecessary(but that's just my opinion 🤷♂️)
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.
i had to watch an interview featuring SOAD just to make sure that these people are human. because it's hard to immagine these people in society when you just know them for their music videos and songs.
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.
This is by far the realist interview of any band I’ve ever seen. It felt like I was in the room with them and having this conversation. That was a great interview
Interesting what Serj said about bands not staying together forever. And now he's the only one from the band today that isn't ready to make another record.
@@ArkaeaFCL3 you didn't notice his face very slightly appear to morph? You can see especially near his left eyebrow. Dont pause, just hit the timestamp and let it play.
i like how when the band is interviewed, more than half of the time ALL BAND MEMBERS say sumthin about it... its not just serj answerin and talkin thruout the interview, the others join and stand o their word... i think thats awsome... btw SOAD influences me lyrically..
lol No, that was Daron saying his parents were 'Devil worshippers' XD a. Because the video is out of sync [the sound is ahead of the footage] and from lipreading.. I'm certain it was Daron who said it b. Its a classic Daron quote, you wouldnt catch John coming out with something like that lol Good video, I really enjoyed it XD 8:44 - 8:59 ~ I loled at Daron lookin' randomly about XD
Serj already said in an interview that they are still friends and that if they want to talk to the world as SOAD, they will do, so a reunion is most likely... At least after Serj published his second album, and maybe there was a second SoB album
Anyone else feel that Serj has kind of grown more arrogant and condescending/smug than compared to this interview? He seems very off-balance and less like himself in newer and newer interviews compared to this one (not to sound arrogant myself, since I really have no idea who Serj really is).
kope2kope No i feel you. Success does that to a person. You can only be told you are a god so many times before you actually start to believe that shit
Omfg. Sound is sooo Off, but AMAZING Interview. ♥ System needs 2 get back together soo bad. Ugh. -.- I Miss them so bad!! =( Before I die, i wanna see them live, all of them 2gether. I bet a lot of people do. Their an Amazing Band. ♥ Ftw.
they do have a movie on system, its mostly about them expressing serj's grandfathers story of surviving the Arminion genocide,and how they are getting out everything about the genocide. and it also is included with some songs from a concert of theres, and some interviews
Iam 64 yrs old and was touched by there lyrics. Get it ., at my age i listen to buddy holly ect . My advice to you never grow old in your mind. STAY FREE AND OPEN MINDED. PS YES MILITARY RETIRED. F LOL

Serj: I do whatever music I want, I don't give a fuck what my fans want.
Well he wasn't lying..
Martin Finnegan Dont look at it in a negative way. If hes done hes done. It was a good fucking ride.

i hope you see this 7 years later

People are still with hopes, but it's kinda obvious that they're not going to release anything anymore... Just do shows.
damn 16 years ago wtf lol
Holy Shit, This is the first time I have heard John talk. Didn't expect him to sound like that.
serj seemed more introverted in the old days

I like Shavo's enthusiasm every time they do interviews..
He's their manager, he's doing a great job.
ItsYaBoy I thought they made Daron the manager now?
Shy Serj is a beautiful cinnamon roll, too Good For This World, too pure
Lol
why are you babying him? 💀
@@CrustiiDustii he's like 53 or something...
hes like 50

now THIS is an interview. Those fuse interviews were a nightmare.

@@KrishmanyuThakur go check her interview with slipknot too; it shows the problem is on her not on the band
8:45 daron is lost

As soon as I saw that I was like "Same."
+KnotzTheGuitarist
When Shavo said hookers, it brought his attention back lol
+KnotzTheGuitarist
Or was it drugs?
KnotzTheGuitarist omg yaas 😂
This band did a lot for me. Inspired me to play both bass and electric, inspired me to sing although am not good at it. This band is awesome!
same here!

+The Extinct Surgeon >Straight
totally agree!!!!
+The Extinct Surgeon Daron writes the music
Yes i agree
I'm sure Daron writes Serj's solo albums as well.
i had to watch an interview featuring SOAD just to make sure that these people are human. because it's hard to immagine these people in society when you just know them for their music videos and songs.
the Toxicity era is the best ever, loving the way they looked and the sound they had
John's drumming does his talking, and does it damn good. Bad ass drummer.
serj's wide smile is hilarious!
Great interviewer and im impressed by these dudes.. really intelligent and meaningful conversation
So when is Serj's yodelling album coming out?
listen to his solo albums
George Barisa
I've heard a bunch of them. Which song has yodelling?
none of them have yodeling :D
His collab with Arto is called Serart and it's got yodeling
@@rockythehorseman5192 that's chanting, holding is the cowboy one
this makes me miss seeing the four of them together :(
See you in 15 years when this video pops on everyone's recommended again
16:20 the beginning of the end
What did hw say ? I don`t know english very well

Does anyone see daron constantly looking up at the ceiling
This is by far the realist interview of any band I’ve ever seen. It felt like I was in the room with them and having this conversation. That was a great interview
I think this is the best Soad interview
serj's smile is pretty :)
Compare how chill they are in this interview than in Uranuim's interview
HomeOfTheLostAnd Dead Yea! 😂
that uranium interviewer was boring them out of their fuckin minds with those bland ass questions
Fellatio
SOAD was a pure success.
one in a billion
13 years ago....
Interesting what Serj said about bands not staying together forever. And now he's the only one from the band today that isn't ready to make another record.
snoutout So he agrees with his own point of view?...
so what?
yes evolution means changes
17:53 "like Madonna"
Damn, why did I immediately assume he was making a sex joke?😂😂
17:12 trippy
Dennis Kolenovic reptilian?
I respect these guys so much, they're such a great influence.
We're still waiting for the record where serj yodels for an hour
This is such a good interview. Kinda rare to have them all so eloquent and willing to talk at the same time. Brilliant to watch, thanks for posting.
dang 2006, when they were still making albums :((
Jerry Can their new album is coming out this year
Tazzwar Azam :D
@@XtremeKillah101 well that didn't age well
but this is from 2001 read the description
2 new songs just dropped!
i love serj's voice, not only when he sings, but also when he talks. it's so melodic...
Thank you for the upload!
ooo Thanks for the upload =]
I had fun watching this, I love their interviews.
i love daron
system of a down presidents of the world 2016
Omg the end when Daron says "like Madonna" is so effing cute X3
Their beards have minds of their own...
I think they must be massive influences on their music.
Always revisit this interview every year or so
The way daron stutters
Come back SOAD! come back and be as different as you please, I'll love it all the same. I love a variety.
It really shows in their music that they're not worried about what's working for other bands, they're worried about being better artists.
1020 people are AWESOME for loving & supporting SOAD!
John had this expression his entire life :D
Yet still smart and wise...
O didn't realise how sweet the bass player was
Great interview!
And good questions!
I am 14 years old and it makes me so deppresed that 2011 might be my last time and only time to see these guys :'(
i had no idea all of them were armenian
Dude this is so old ! Wow SOAD is so good
he came out of of his mother with that goatee and expression on his face and it hasn't changed yet haha
The drummers name is John!!!!!
John Dolmayan, yes.
No shit
Pause at 17:14. Satan.

I paused there. I don't see it? what are you talking about?
MY GOD WHY DID THAT HAPPEN

I like watching Daron's dual beards twitch when he talks
I love these guys
Serj was right, art shouldn't be put in a format and bands are not made to exist forever, afterall we are all here for the journey.
Should’ve done the yodel song first
lets all take a moment to congratulate that amazing goatee
This band is the fucking best. They're so wise, and thy understand what's goin' on. God, these guys really amaze me...
This is probably there best interview ever.
This band should get back together.
John is the master mind :)
nah, i think daron is.
SHUGAAAH!!!
lol No, that was Daron saying his parents were 'Devil worshippers' XD
a. Because the video is out of sync [the sound is ahead of the footage] and from lipreading.. I'm certain it was Daron who said it
b. Its a classic Daron quote, you wouldnt catch John coming out with something like that
lol Good video, I really enjoyed it XD
8:44 - 8:59 ~ I loled at Daron lookin' randomly about XD
8:40 what's daron looking at?
daron,john, and shavo played suit pee this holloween daron dressed as a space man
Serj's nose is pointy asf damn
justinooo it's sexy
He handsome af
i thought i was the only one who liked it! lol
I have the same nose style and im mexican weird imao
Who is justino? Lol
Serj already said in an interview that they are still friends and that if they want to talk to the world as SOAD, they will do, so a reunion is most likely...
At least after Serj published his second album,
and maybe there was a second SoB album
Daron: "Like Madonna"
Haha, he always mentions her, methinks he has a little celebrity crush, no?
please release a yodeling album
Budred123 look up Serart
Good interview!
I respect SOAD's opinions.
Daron has some really nice thoughts
That's a pretty nose Serj...
Anyone else feel that Serj has kind of grown more arrogant and condescending/smug than compared to this interview? He seems very off-balance and less like himself in newer and newer interviews compared to this one (not to sound arrogant myself, since I really have no idea who Serj really is).
kope2kope No i feel you. Success does that to a person. You can only be told you are a god so many times before you actually start to believe that shit
I havent heard from Serj since his solo shit, I hope he didnt lose touch of himself.
ill probably end up yodeling on some album hahahahhaha cant wait!

This is one of the oldest videos I have seen on RUclips... and it happens to be of my favorite band lol
Wow! I'm the 300,000th viewer after 14.5 years

I read that they might be reuniting this year. Good news. :D
i would personally love to hear serj yodeling for an hour.
SOAD In My Heart!!
back in the day!
So damn intelligent, all of them. Imagine just sitting down with them, talking. You would learn so much.
If they went to even 360p the world wouldn't be able to handle their awesomeness ;D
Iam 64 yrs old and was touched by there lyrics. Get it ., at my age i listen to buddy holly ect . My advice to you never grow old in your mind. STAY FREE AND OPEN MINDED. PS YES MILITARY RETIRED. F LOL
this might be posiibly the only interview where they give a honest asnerw lol ther great
