@Suargify yeah, man. and not to drag this conversation out forever but people that rag on me don't know that i used to be a huge soad fan. at one point i had 300+ soad songs on my ipod (that included all of the albums, demos, and some live shows.) now everyone labels me as a "serj hater." i don't have to enjoy everything the man puts out! i have the right to not like one of his albums.
This is the first time I've heard his new solo album. It is very good, an instant favorite. Love the new music, the melodies of these new songs are outstanding.
@salokinlessor Hes an artist. He makes things this way. No matter how crazy he makes it sound, up and down, its amazing (to me at least) he doesnt have to be serious. And thats what makes him Serj, why people find his music unique, why people go to him and have their faces melted over and over. If youre not a fan, your loss. He doesn't need people like you. He doesn't need you to understand. All he wants to do is make HIS music. Hes not doing it for you. If you don't like it, don't listen to him
mikeg642000 the problem isn't guns or violence alone as guns are in need of a living organism to operate and violence is nature itself, not human nature alone... your statement should be that you can't unbirth a species, you can't remove human kind as the only problem our planet has is us
mikeg642000 It's a societal problem, and it can only be solved through shaping society in a way that is more conducive to harmony. You can't legislate away societal problems.
The problem is, you cant un-invet violence. Guns arent the cause, they are a reaction to violence and a great example of the constant escalation of reactions to violence.
This is great and all, but I really like the Victimize remix. Its great to see a parody of both ways of thinking about guns, both the pro- and anti-gun, coming from the same person. At least thats what I think the last verse is.
Guys.. We all know Serj is an amazing artist, and could very well be a political leader. Who has opened our eyes to many things. But even he would NOT want you thinking he was god.. Think about it for a second..
However piracy isnt illegal in the case of non-distributive actions (such as a share of cracked music files) and people pirate all the time why comment on this video?
Then why aren't more mass killings commited with grenade launchers? Personally I could see a much larger body count if you used RPGs. They are illegal but that doesn't stop a criminal. Also do you think all laws should be removed from fire arms since they don't work anyways? Speed limits should be removed since hardly anyone abides by them. All drugs should be legal since people are still abusing them.
actually yes about the speed limits, its honestly safer for me to drive fast, I'm not saying i dont pay attention anyway, because i do, but when you drive to your greatest potential you are forced to put all your attention into driving. this would also make driving fun and would probably cut down on texting and driving, and drugs is a different i cant use drugs to defend myself. guns allow you to defend yourself from those who would break the law if there were gun control laws
I do love this song. :) But I am afraid I can't quite care for the meaning. Just like many others. If we take away Fire arms, the people that want to commit mass murders still can. Take a car and run over people. Take a machete and start hacking away. Make a bomb, you can't bomb the things bombs are made out of individually. Get a plane license, buy a plane, and run it into a building. I mean, if you're going to die you don't care about the price of things. If someone is armed, and someone started doing something, they might be able to stop them. Instead of just being another victim.
totally agreed. who knows if the french have guns they wouldn't have been massacre on 13th of november last year. On the other hand taking firearm from the people was always been a typical behaviour of dictators or tyrants, when hitler started govern,the first thing he has done was unarming the germans and jews, to take away any possible way to defend themselves from his oppresive intensions, the same thing did lennin.
I think Serj is absolutely right, just look at scandinavian countries. Least amount of guns in the world and their crime rate is the lowest, at least before the mass muslim immigration in recent years, Sweden in particular. But before that Scandinavia has been the most peaceful region in the world. So we can't argue against Serjs point here
England has no guns....Yet they have the highest crime rate in europe so an arguement can 100% be made. Also switzerlands has a shit ton of guns, 50% of the population is armed and yet they have not one of the lowest crime rates but THE lowest. (Added after, Turns out Britains crime percentages are even worse than the U.S)
its the type of guns.......... Canada has a fuck ton of guns too, but we have hunting rifles and not m16s. No one in america wants to take away all guns, they just want to take away civilian access to militarized weapons and hand guns. fucking dumb.
@Suargify ha. finally. so many people have replied to my comment as if they were personally attacked by me. anybody that is offended by me having a differing opinion than their own is an idiot. i'm glad somebody has similar thoughts as me, but i'm not upset that people disagree.
lawl, a lot of people think he is saying knives/swords/anything that is not a gun, Is not able to bring harm. The thing about the whole right to bare arms, is pretty much sayin yuh have the right to kill. It IS a lot more out of hand compared to the old days where ppl were just, "WHAAACHAAAA.... Sword kill you~" But ofc, some people will bring up somethin ignorant and say, "Why not ban those too?!?!?!" 8D... at that point, ANYTHING (Not literally 'anything') could be used to kill.. But we love our guns~ it's much easier to kill with :D I mean, defend with~ Anywho, Just follow the easiest path, God forgives chu~
@MaxxDickinsonTankian No, actually, this should be titled "Serj Tankian - Goddamn Trigger Lyric Video" Because the name of the song is "Goddamn Trigger" not "The Goddamn Trigger".
@xkamikaze78 It's one big ass hole we've dug for ourselves, isn't it. At this point eliminating guns would mean eliminating all governments, military, & $... very tough. But if people really bound together to fight, I think 6 billion people could take on the maybe 1 million or so that are at the top of the chain, the odds are definitely in our favor, but willpower will be the issue, people are socially taught to not care, and be lazy, especially in the more modern civilizations. obv. IMO
So is this satire in this one or what? Because there are places like Switzerland that have a high percent of the population trained in the use of and own firearms yet their crime is low. Then you have places with high restriction but have high crime, the UK, and to discount the previous further, you also have countries with low population of guns and low violence, Sweden. There is more to this than just the guns.
not gonna lie i feel like this song is much better in the beginning then it kinda falls flat towards the end still love serj but song could have been better
Maybe if the Armenians had the kind of firepower I do, they wouldn't have been massacred. Funny, I would have thought after preaching over the injustices to his people, Serj would support the right to own firearms capable of defending oneself against an oppressive and inhuman government. Guess I was wrong, sorry i over estimated you, Serj. Drugs are good, guns are bad, people, WAKE UP!
Well, there are a few guns (more like weapons systems) that fire themselves, but the government owns and operates them all. Some fly over US skies to "keep us safe" as we speak. I don't agree with this song, guns, even the number of guns is not the problem. Evil in people's hearts is the problem, we can't medicate man to perfection again, we can't legislate peace in our hearts, we can't educate sin from our souls, it's been there from the start. What do you do when faced with evil? Cower?
You're still wrong.. he isnt stealing by posting a video on youtube (which i explained already) and swearing over the internet to prove a point shows a lack of vocalbulary. So in other words the "answer" you gave me was completely stupid and full of lack of information on the topic, think before you speak
well, it seems, judging by this song, that Serj dislikes gun ownership because if nobody had weapons (Which is how it should be if you ask me) , then there would be no need to protect oneself from such weapons. Humans collectively create alot of their own problems. This is causing people to use something that sometimes is also a problem, to protect oneself from that a problem, that is often the same problem... I could be wrong about that. . .
+One Akay Because he is a communist moron. No hate, I love his songs, he certainly is a talented man. But look at his lyrics. Just the fact that he hates on capitalism AND lives in USA as well as profits highly from the very capitalist music industry says something about him. He's just a leftie hypocrite.
I thought the title was "Goddamn Tiger" and I thought it was going to be a really angry song about blaming a tiger for something
All songs are open to interpretation. See it your way.
I'm glad Serj is still in the music business! :D
Todd Gobbett me too
@Suargify yeah, man. and not to drag this conversation out forever but people that rag on me don't know that i used to be a huge soad fan. at one point i had 300+ soad songs on my ipod (that included all of the albums, demos, and some live shows.) now everyone labels me as a "serj hater." i don't have to enjoy everything the man puts out! i have the right to not like one of his albums.
That beginning sodden in high-level sarcasm was like aloe vera for my soul.
Serj+Sarcasm=Serjcasm?!
I am more partial to Tarkiasm.
So funny how many people don't get that this is a satire song
Exactly, people take things to seriously.
That is exactly, what I thought. xD
This is the first time I've heard his new solo album. It is very good, an instant favorite. Love the new music, the melodies of these new songs are outstanding.
once again, great lyrics by Serj!!!
Serj is a pure genius!
The start is like Disowned Inc :O
only serj could fit "directly properational" into a song and make it good
This should've been GTA 5's theme song
+Siderico Best Comment ever \m/
@salokinlessor Hes an artist. He makes things this way. No matter how crazy he makes it sound, up and down, its amazing (to me at least) he doesnt have to be serious. And thats what makes him Serj, why people find his music unique, why people go to him and have their faces melted over and over. If youre not a fan, your loss. He doesn't need people like you. He doesn't need you to understand. All he wants to do is make HIS music. Hes not doing it for you. If you don't like it, don't listen to him
Oh the bitter irony of bears being armed for war....funny mental image too
Damn Serj went hard in this one lol
"God Made Guns"
Yes, John Moses Browning did make guns.
Serj's music is magic music
AMAZING. i'm looking for buying imperfect harmonies record.
we arm bears? wtf
Serj for president!!
I have lots of shotguns rifles and ammunitions ihihihih!!
omg XD awesome Serj
This song was completely sarcastic. How did you not figure that out?
I've thought that too.
@toomsdlc
Yeh but how do you know whether the stuff youre drinking contains natural or artificial taurine?
OMG! So EPIC!!!!!!!
The problem is you can't un-invent the Gun.
You can't remove violence.
mikeg642000 the problem isn't guns or violence alone as guns are in need of a living organism to operate and violence is nature itself, not human nature alone... your statement should be that you can't unbirth a species, you can't remove human kind as the only problem our planet has is us

Guns arent the cause, they are a reaction to violence and a great example of the constant escalation of reactions to violence.
@Odaachi at 2:09 it sounds like he might of said Stalin. love all of Serj's stuff :D
@fulsame1 whoa, didn't think a small typo could cause such hostility. I was just asking a simple question, no need to attack me for it.
perfect!
as i heard of the aurora theater shooting, immideatly THIS SONG came to my mind...
This is great and all, but I really like the Victimize remix.
Its great to see a parody of both ways of thinking about guns, both the pro- and anti-gun, coming from the same person. At least thats what I think the last verse is.
@LoveJohnTravolta cause it's a bonus track from the japanese version and from de iTunes (Deluxe Version) :)
Why can't I hold all this subtlety?
Serj = GAWD!
It is my constitutional right... to arm bears. If I somehow manage to give them opposable thumbs.
after every us-amok-tragedy i go to youtube and listen to this song of serj tankian...
Guys.. We all know Serj is an amazing artist, and could very well be a political leader. Who has opened our eyes to many things. But even he would NOT want you thinking he was god.. Think about it for a second..
Anybody got a link to those guns-violence stats?
can somebody please tell me how serj does that weird squeling noise with his voice at :24
@TheMiezure you have to search in daleya.com
still great song ^^
You hear me? Every single follicle. Imma shave it all dry.
lol thumbs up to that. xD
I think he meant to say that 'violence isn't the solution'
The trigger is now
However piracy isnt illegal in the case of non-distributive actions (such as a share of cracked music files) and people pirate all the time why comment on this video?
@brunobb1 oops, I wrote the lyrics wrong, fuck it xD
@einirr probably what he's saying is that we cannot live without war
@tammyhallyson040973 Because they chose to be blinded and held behind the walls?
Then why aren't more mass killings commited with grenade launchers? Personally I could see a much larger body count if you used RPGs. They are illegal but that doesn't stop a criminal. Also do you think all laws should be removed from fire arms since they don't work anyways? Speed limits should be removed since hardly anyone abides by them. All drugs should be legal since people are still abusing them.
actually yes about the speed limits, its honestly safer for me to drive fast, I'm not saying i dont pay attention anyway, because i do, but when you drive to your greatest potential you are forced to put all your attention into driving. this would also make driving fun and would probably cut down on texting and driving, and drugs is a different i cant use drugs to defend myself. guns allow you to defend yourself from those who would break the law if there were gun control laws
what album is this from?
I do love this song. :) But I am afraid I can't quite care for the meaning. Just like many others. If we take away Fire arms, the people that want to commit mass murders still can. Take a car and run over people. Take a machete and start hacking away. Make a bomb, you can't bomb the things bombs are made out of individually.

the same can be said about legalizing eg marijuana. and yet, this is still illegal kinda hypocritical don't you think?
I think Serj is absolutely right, just look at scandinavian countries. Least amount of guns in the world and their crime rate is the lowest, at least before the mass muslim immigration in recent years, Sweden in particular. But before that Scandinavia has been the most peaceful region in the world.

serj how will we protect ourselves from the government without them.. it seems like a paradox
So I'm apparently contradicting myself somewhere. Would you mind pointing that out for me?
Rock In Rio 2013, esse cara tem que vim aqui(com system e solo).
The "bovine hormone" Serj sings about is Taurine which is often found in energy drinks and candy.
Oh, did i mention its produced in bull testicles :D
is there a download link for this song somewhere?
I love sarcasm
you even know what he is singing about the gun rights, because there is a revoulution awaiting
@salokinlessor I'm sorry proportional was a big word to you.
@Suargify ha. finally. so many people have replied to my comment as if they were personally attacked by me. anybody that is offended by me having a differing opinion than their own is an idiot. i'm glad somebody has similar thoughts as me, but i'm not upset that people disagree.

But we love our guns~ it's much easier to kill with :D I mean, defend with~ Anywho, Just follow the easiest path, God forgives chu~
hahaha what the hell XD
It's only me, or this song sounds like Disowned Inc. from Imperfect Harmonies CD?
and if no guns then it will go to no knives and then i cant cut my food
how is he stealing... Serj has posted this himself and now i want to buy this on itunes so hes just advertising for Serj... good job
i have 38 rifles-andabunchofhandgunsandammunition.
HE IS SMART! HE IS GREAT YOU JUST CANT GET INTO THE STYLE
@salokinlessor Why are you still here?
so he's singing about himself hehe
@MaxxDickinsonTankian No, actually, this should be titled "Serj Tankian - Goddamn Trigger Lyric Video"
Because the name of the song is "Goddamn Trigger" not "The Goddamn Trigger".
I like how you avoid every question I ask. So once again, would you mind pointing out my contradiction or flaw in my argument?
I kinda wanna march to this song, especially at 1.25x speed
pof,remington,colt and winchester dislike this
@xkamikaze78 It's one big ass hole we've dug for ourselves, isn't it. At this point eliminating guns would mean eliminating all governments, military, & $... very tough. But if people really bound together to fight, I think 6 billion people could take on the maybe 1 million or so that are at the top of the chain, the odds are definitely in our favor, but willpower will be the issue, people are socially taught to not care, and be lazy, especially in the more modern civilizations. obv. IMO
no, don't. tell this guy to go out and buy the disc so he can support serj!
@xKillerClownx I was more-or-less basically agreeing with you, hoping that @tammyhallyson040973 would change the title to be correct. ;)
So is this satire in this one or what? Because there are places like Switzerland that have a high percent of the population trained in the use of and own firearms yet their crime is low. Then you have places with high restriction but have high crime, the UK, and to discount the previous further, you also have countries with low population of guns and low violence, Sweden. There is more to this than just the guns.
Ok if serj heard u say that hed be pissed, he is probably more christian that my priest
just the american will do...
I'm glad you passed elementary school grammar. It's spelled "music". Also, i'm glad you know your politics better than Serj. -_-
mexico dosent have fierarms lol
He doesn't.
not gonna lie i feel like this song is much better in the beginning then it kinda falls flat towards the end still love serj but song could have been better
God Made Guns... So Go Figure...
That wasn't him.....
what people seem to not realize is that when you give civilians power to do something they will take the opportunity.
And this isnt the same for the state?
Maybe if the Armenians had the kind of firepower I do, they wouldn't have been massacred. Funny, I would have thought after preaching over the injustices to his people, Serj would support the right to own firearms capable of defending oneself against an oppressive and inhuman government. Guess I was wrong, sorry i over estimated you, Serj. Drugs are good, guns are bad, people, WAKE UP!
Serj go to BRAZIL!
So this guy does not support gun ownership or what?
Well, there are a few guns (more like weapons systems) that fire themselves, but the government owns and operates them all. Some fly over US skies to "keep us safe" as we speak.
I don't agree with this song, guns, even the number of guns is not the problem.

What do you do when faced with evil? Cower?
Do you even know what a weapons system is?
More importantly, do you know that this song is a parody of gun owners?
You're still wrong.. he isnt stealing by posting a video on youtube (which i explained already) and swearing over the internet to prove a point shows a lack of vocalbulary. So in other words the "answer" you gave me was completely stupid and full of lack of information on the topic, think before you speak
Love the song, disagree with the meaning....
The uploader of the video is obviously condoning piracy. He/she probably downloaded this him/herself from 4shared.
Prepare for the goddamn triggered comments.
i usual love Serj Tankians music...but this is damn strange....stop listening less than half way through it sorry
well, it seems, judging by this song, that Serj dislikes gun ownership because if nobody had weapons (Which is how it should be if you ask me) , then there would be no need to protect oneself from such weapons. Humans collectively create alot of their own problems. This is causing people to use something that sometimes is also a problem, to protect oneself from that a problem, that is often the same problem...
I could be wrong about that. . .
NRA dislike this video 10 times ... HATERS
I respected Serj once....
Why not now?
+One Akay Because he is a communist moron. No hate, I love his songs, he certainly is a talented man. But look at his lyrics. Just the fact that he hates on capitalism AND lives in USA as well as profits highly from the very capitalist music industry says something about him. He's just a leftie hypocrite.
Just because someone agrees with certain Communist ideals doesn't mean they are full blown Communists..
+Dean Minchella *communist. And yeah, I agree to that, but he should put his own house into order..
What do you mean "his house in order."
He has his views and he doesn't contradict himself.
