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.
@@guitarrwd 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.
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

Fuckboi and Lavacunt Ehhhm, U2 and mainstream ? If U2 is mainstream then Soad is mainstream too and Serj isn't a rocker. Your comment make no sense, of course he respect their music, if he's in you're opinion a "rocker" too ?
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

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.
This band has achieved so much and is so unique that no other band would be able to manage to do what they do it’s just so amazing and different to listen to, love Soad!
DankieFrankie88 No problem man. Johnny, Marmalade, and Mushroom cult are probably my favorites off of it. Although mushroom cult is by a little band called Dog Fashion Disco haha
nikki yt why? just because his eyes are different? He is most definitely NOT a stoner. I've seen plenty of guys who are stoned and they look very different from his. You know nothing about him and I do not appreciate you making an ignorant statement like that.
@@michellelampman4434 they literally smoke weed lol(except for John, and Serj probably isn't doing it anymore). And Daron's eyes, have nothing to do with drugs He always had these beautiful big brown eyes...❤️
They make some really interesting points in this interview.. I can only imagine how much I can learn from them if I ever sat with them for a couple of hours...

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 know nothing about these dudes or punk rock and I thought it was all orgies and hardcore drugs! Turns out these guys are smart and politically aware! They really artist can’t believe I missed out! The Serj dude was ahead of his time.
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 is so soft-spoken, so super chill. So different from his singing voice. Amazing

@Justin Martone wait fr? He a libtard?
Justin Martone Daron is a liberal as well. He’s just not as vocal as Serj about it.
Quietest kids are the craziest inside
cringe
Serj is a metal hippie and honestly I love it lol.
He's the best ❤
Still waiting for that 1 hour yodeling album, Serj
Knowing serj, it would probably still be really good
Still waiting for the new SOAD album, let alone the yodeling one!
Still waiting 2024
I'm just watching this and I'd love to hear Serj doing anything, he's that amazing!!
fr maybe thats how they drop an album
Daron is Serj's anger translator
serj is so soft toned and just so chill for a rockstar. Hes a true artist no doubt, one of the most unique voices out there.
thats because the word rockstar doesnt cross his mind unless someone like you throws it at him
I can hear serj talk all day.he seems so chill
+Yanira Alcaraz his talking voice is calm. I cannot find a singer with a calmer talking voice than him
+Yanira Alcaraz i would say that he seems so high

This band shaped my childhood and has stayed with me for the last 15-20 years. I still listen to them every day

The greatest band in the world!! New album no new album it doesn't matter their music is timeless!
Dear god i need those other 30 some songs they recorded.
Look up Storaged Melodies on RUclips
You can actually find a lot of them on singles (like Chop Suey single has Johnny on it)
Toxicity 14 tracks + steal this album 16 tracks + cherry + fortress + johnny = 33. We basically have everything :)
I freaking love these guys so much
River Woodes same
They are such genuinely nice people
I miss the old days when MTV had any music
Shouldn't be called MTV anymore
Should arrange it as VMT, as is Vaguely Musical Television lol
