    Serj looks so happy. I’m truly sickened by all the people demanding Serj to make a new album and threatening him or calling his work garbage.

      @@insiderjokevids It's never groundless for a band to stop making music together.
      And after 13 years you should also have noticed that nothing new will come more out.
      The albums they made were fantastic, but now Serj no longer has that powerful voice of his past days.
      I think a new album would be a disappointment for a lot of fans.

      That's what New Zealand does to people :P and he's right what he said "it's a true sense of belonging and comfort" as well as this another time "Kiwis are calm and diplomatic. No one jumps on you and tries to take your head off. It makes you feel comfortable," he said.
      Totally different to Los Angeles which has many things to do (specially film and music wise) and never gets boring but can be a bit full on. He also said he has a lot of friends come visit - Trent from Nine Inch Nails, Maynard from Tool, Tom from Rage Against The Machine etc. Still have my System Of A Down tour shirt from seeing them...

    I feel happy for Serj, he is doing what he loves, not what people tell him what to do,"Release a SOAD record" "Cause of you there's not a System record" and all that bullshit. When that moment comes, it"ll be the right time!

    I love Serj Tankian also his band and his music generally.
    But I feel like I have to say something.
    First: I'm so sorry for Armenian genocide and the innocent people that were killed
    And I had a lot of Armenian friends in my City
    But why it's getting so promotional and people still talking about it?
    Did we forget the Jews genocide?
    Or Nazi Germany genocides?
    Or Joseph Stalin's genocides?
    Or Benito Mussolini genocides in Ethiopia and Libya?
    Or bashar al-asad genocides to his people?
    And sooooo many that I can count for days...
    So.
    Why people still talking about one genocide happened 100 years ago?
    Is it just to say "fuck you Turkey along with your president"?
    Or to get more famous?
    Politics is just dumb and I still can't believe we are talking in about a genocide happened
    100 year during the ottoman empire.
    PS: I am not Turkish I'm just simple Syrian guy

    The System is your greatest message hub, Selftitled was my first album ever gotten, the txt on the back and the combo of songs made me aware. Then Toxicity starting out with Prison Song now look at society... Needles in a Prison System, a Stealing Society, a violent pornography. But then i saw u live too late and was dissapointed. I recommend the screams left to Daron unless u still got that raw selftitled album grit. I think like Metallica,, money went to your head and u compensate by being the activist to make u feel better bout yourself. Correct me wrong when i say lets get ready to rock! But a forced album isnt it huh? Just put ideas together if not, egos if you will. Take a timespan just artiscally pan it out with the band. Its obvious the touring money is more interesting so is this hypocrosy? since you made a song with lyrics "hide your moneyyyy!!" Who cares. Just say your not metal anymore dude. Or smoke up with the band and kick a new album out! If itz too distorting the legacy by all means, u know pray for the unfortunate and be happy in life lol.
