Yeah I know 3 years old but I'm gonna say anyways: I bet when he's at home, and he's decompressing, he'll rant and rave to himself and while he's at it he checks to see if he can make a song out of it.
Funny how Daron says they are not the best musicians - fair enough, there are better drummers, guitarists and bassists out there - but in all honesty, Serj is right up there with the best vocalists I have ever heard.
@@Ryansoutdoorsandmusic not saying he isn't good. He is great. Love his drumming. The entire band is great. But while I feel there are better drummers out there, I don't think there many better vocalists than Serj.
Dae Bae that was a terrible suggestion. You'd have been better off giving us your own definition of it and giving examples because what I found was basically like nails on chalkboard, chewing with your mouth open, sex sounds coming feom the mouth. Yuck. This is the definition and I'm sure there are more pleasant examples than what the top youtube videos suggest to you when you search ASMR. Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a term used for an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. It has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia.
Dae Bae bahaha yes I am satisfied. I'm sure there are soothing examples out there. But the top results are really not that pleasant (give them a listen)... your comment about teenagers who can't get pornhub- too funny! Sorry if my original reply came off as abrasive. Sometimes its just better to give a simplified answer, especially on the interwebz where any statement can be misconstrued and taken differently than intended. Best wishes to you.
15:17 sounds like Serj already wanted out even during the Toxicity era. Daron said they had to beg him to do Mezmerize/Hypnotize, and his statements here seem to line up.
Yup...he had it in his mind even in 2001 that he was checking out in 5 years. Kinda wonder if the rest of the guys were starting to silently question their future as an outfit at the end of this interview. Sobering to think about. Explains why in 2003 serj came off as less passionate during those few shows they played.
@@coronaguy1829 for sure, and in 2004 too (Souls). I think he lost a bit of real interest when the Mez/Hyp recordings in mid/late 2004 And he lost the rest of the Interest at the end of the recording of Hypnotize, in the middle of 2005, that would explain the difference in live excitement between Astoria and MTV 2$ Bill for example
Serj: "I personally don't think that bands should exist together forever to be honest with you, because I think it's a negative thing to art" - And he stands by that belief to this day
I think that was sarcasm because the band is still playing shows together even though they are creatively in a deadlock because of disagreements. So it's like Serj isn't holding true to this idea. However, he is doing his own thing in his solo projects. They're not really a band fully, they're just touring together, playing the same songs for over two decades now. But maybe it's better that they didn't make another album if they cannot personally and artistically come to an agreement because then they would be doing just a business thing of make more to sell more, diluting their artistic legacy.

ive been a fan of system of a down for 5 years and this is my first time seeing the band in a interview and its interesting the way they talk so deep but. its no surprise theyre awesome with very deep songs and lyrics
As a fan of this band in my youth/young adulthood...I never knew what ATWA was an acronym for, (could have been initials in someone's name--I remember thinking that)... nor did I know it had anything to do w CM. I'm one of those people who lets the art mean to me what it means to me personally rather than finding out details, "meanings" of songs, etc. It was always one of my favourites on that album because it resonated w me in terms of emotional turmoil and heartbreak.

They knew how to be one of Top-3 or Top-5 Heavy Metal bands in the world at a certain point in time, and I will ever respect and love them just for that. Sorry for the smoothness and for the lengthy comment.
I like the interviewer He actually listens and he doesn't try to twist their words It's like a he's a father and his children are complaining about their shitty day at school special 14:05
Serj said it allready 17, 18 years ago (Toxicity was released 200 i guess), his oppinion is bands shouldn’t stay together, making the same stuff all over again, a band shall stay as long as the artists realy have to say, to give something. I also want another soad-album, but just if it's real! Just compare old with new korn! I loved their old stuff, but today to be honest, i think korn is more a comercial product and thats why they wanted head back - cause it's a reunion to sell out.

This band shaped my childhood and has stayed with me for the last 15-20 years. I still listen to them every day
This interviewer vibed extremely well with the band I love how relaxed the whole thing felt
The thing I liked the most about this band was the pure energy they had...I mean they sounded like they were having fun
The moment when the lead singer of a metal rock band has a nice smooth happy voice.....
I like how Serj nods to U2 for being creative. That's interesting that a heavy metal rocker would acknowledge a mainstream rock band with respect.
Armenia and Eire have a respect for each other.
