A great and inspiring show that our personal and creative issues always need to take a step back behind certain larger situations that are above us, and a tragic demonstration of how shadowplay and bluster can lead to true immorality through great injustice!
I think and may be wrong, that is because they HAD problems about the kind and the style of music to play together. Daron was more for a Rock/Metal way and Serj was more on a melodic/orchestral way. But the problems came out only because of music. They are from the same country, and if so, the music you prefer the most came to second place... This two songs were made NOT because "S.O.A.D. ARE MAKING A NEW ALBUM" but as a powerful message to the whole world about the disaster happened between armenia and turkish. So, no matter what were the problem that divided SOAD, the message and emotions ar always the same, together. I'm italian, so maybe I could have misspelled something, but I think you got the point 😂 always loved them
Yeah and he claims that 100.000 ppl were displaced while the peace agreement signed by the government of Armenia confirms that people remain where they lived.
@@nh2083 Sure, they remain were they are, so that the genocidal maniacs can come and finish their favourite job. You just can’t imagine how disgusting you are to any even remotely decent person.

My late friend’s father was one of the four thousand Armenian men killed in the Second Nagorno-Karabagh war in 2020. He was a supporter of the recognition of the republic of Artsakh and his death sent my friend down a spiral of depression and he took his life exactly one month ago on 18 December 2023, his birthday wouldve been in 5 days on 23 January, he would’ve turned 16. Khachatour, we all miss you, may you rest in peace.
To be fair, they had no real differences to set aside. Serj just isn't into heavy music anymore and wants to move on. They just know that the name can push the message into the public eye.
Because biggest media is a US media. And it’s not what the US govt needs. They only need what’s profitable for them, not those who they call their “friends” and “partners”.
La prensa actualmente se ha dedicado a cojudear al mundo entero sobre una pandemia resultado de la abusiva guerra comercial entre China y Estados Unidos. The press actually is smoothie and send sweet and official words but the people around the world is not silly people, thanks for SOAD...gracias SOAD...a gente sabe a imprensa é burra e só fala medo e merda sobre uma pandemia inventada dos interesses empresariais que sempre buscaram decidir o destino dos povos do mundo.
It's such a refreshing thing that a mainstream band can get to talk about issues completely unfiltered. About social media manipulation, dictatorships, religion used in the name of violence and complex geopolitical issues. This isn't a random celebrity putting out a sponsored tweet in the name of safe political causes which they know everyone will agree on. This is why it's so positive to have such diverse ideas with John and Serj, in actual true diversity of thought you can find truth and progress.
"They were crying when their sons left, God is wearing black He's gone so far to find no hope, he's never coming back They were crying when their sons left, all young men must go He's come so far to find the truth, he's never going home" Rest in peace all those Armenians who lost their lives in this conflict.
I'm brazilian and thanks to you guys, back when I was 15 (today I'm 26), I heard and learned about Armenia history. I already tried to talk about the matter with people. Now, more than ever I'm speaking about Armenia. Stay safe armenian fellows and I hope this atrocity ends.
Bought a Hoodie, Vinyl, and Shirt. So awesome to see you guys sitting in one place together doing an interview. System of a Down is the reason I listen to music. System was my first and will be my last favorite band
Much love and respect for these heroes. I hope their efforts are multiplied by the masses to help alleviate, nay, eliminate the suffering and struggle of the Armenians from Artsakh. Looking forward to songs of peace and new beginnings from SOAD. Your friend, fan and supporter from Iran.
muito feliz de ver eles novamente. queria que não fosse por um motivo tão desesperador quanto esse. espero que possamos passar por tudo isso. PROTECT THE LAND!!!!
These guys keep demonstrating the world what it means to be an artist. It is not just the craft but the message you're carrying. I hope as many people as possible will join them in raising the voice against injustice and atrocities!
This shit is why I listen to System Of A Down. Been listening to them since the late 90s right in high school and I haven't fucking stopped listening. Keep being yourselves don't let the machine bring you down.
I don't care if we don't ever get another System of a Down album, this is more important than anything it could ever accomplish. That interview was powerful, thanks to the four of you and everybody that contributed
Yes it’s a political issue. Not humanitarian. Armenia has new pres and govt which were promoted (and probably payed) by the US. But the US no longer give a damn, because they completed their mission.
Azerbaijan's allies stand with them by supporting with arms, blocking military aid from Russia to Armenia. Armenia's allies write comments on youtube because they like the rock band.
You support the country that was officially occupying these lands for 30 years. You support people that brutally killed a whole village and displaced over 800.000 Azerbaijani people from their homes and refused to give the lands back and go for a peaceful resolution.

@Ilham Quliyev yes they need to stay strong because the impact of that war for some people will be eternal, some people lost houses lost family during the war, no matter the side you are with we are talking about harmless people civilians they didn't do anything they need help, don't be a heartless human, don't mess around with people's suffering.

What part you don't understand when i am telling you that people that have nothing to do with war are left homeless... little kids, who gives a fuck who won the war?

I am sorry I am not a man of wealth or power; I'm actually an unemployed, disabled Army Vet. But please know that I've shared this through my social media accounts so that the message is passed to at least a few more hearts and minds. I wish you and the people of Armenia the very best in the future.
I'm crying. I had no idea what had happened in 1915 until now.... from these 4 guys..... I think you guys were blessed by God.... Meant 2 make it here and grow up as safely as possible 2 be able 2 stay on top of it & let the world know what happened and keeps repeating itself appearantly. When you 4 are 2gether its like you light up the stars with God's love. 2gether you are a force 2 be reckoned with. Do not stand alone. Please this is not about you alone. You have a calling...... Being alone leaves each of you vulnerable. 2gether your strength is beyond and beautiful. Just sayin.. God be with you all 4 of you.
When i was a kid listening to your music the message wasn't what was most important, now that i'm an adult the I'm capable of understanding it a whole lot better. I'm happy to help out and support our human brothers and sisters!
Hearing them speak so passionately about their nation and their culture is really inspiring, and it warms my heart that they would put aside all differences and disagreements to show support for something they care so much about
As an armenian, thanks so much for speaking out! It's really sad that it isn't broadcasted as much as it should be. You guys coming together after years of internal trouble means a lot.
The year is almost over and it feels like you guys came to rescue it. After 15 years I´m so happy to see SOAD reunited and making awesome music again but sadly for a tragic reason. Your massage will be heard and there shall be no war anymore.

@@verscarii3238 Bro, its a surrender. Not a ceasefire. You know its a surrender when you thought you had Shusha under your control but the next day, you suddenly sign an accord and pledge to move all your troops out of Nagorno Karabagh. That is why people are rioting in Yerevan right now. They know its a surrender. "Ceasefire" just sounds kinda less humiliating, I know, but the truth is, NK as a de facto entity is OVER. As such, calling it a "ceasefire" is pretty moot. And in case its a ceasefire, what exactly is the point of making this? Obviously the fighting has stopped, right? But sadly no amount of PR will ever get you the previous status you had on NK, the Minsk group has failed, and Russia directly stepped in, so, spreading the word in Western countries is useless.
The Azerbaijani Army was about to enter Khankendi (Stepanakert) in maybe a couple of days at most. I guess Pashinyan knew what was best for all of ya. Instead, now they're trying to behead him, and present the head to Putin so that he gives them a pat on the back. Years and years of funding Armenia with diaspora money, 60% went to the pockets of the likes of Serj (not this Serj, the other Serj).
When I saw some videos of this war in TV I started crying. War is something really horrible. I'm so happy that SOAD is back, but sad because of the reason why. I love these guys. Their music is great and they are inteligent and nice. Sending love and support from Slovakia. (I'm sorry for my English)
This is so emotional for me. I spent a lot of years waiting for this moment, I'm so happy but at the same time feel very sad for all those people that are suffuring there out side.

It’s because SOAD isn’t big enough to make an impact anymore
La prensa actualmente se ha dedicado a cojudear al mundo entero sobre una pandemia resultado de la abusiva guerra comercial entre China y Estados Unidos. The press actually is smoothie and send sweet and official words but the people around the world is not silly people, thanks for SOAD...gracias SOAD...a gente sabe a imprensa é burra e só fala medo e merda sobre uma pandemia inventada dos
interesses empresariais que sempre buscaram decidir o destino dos povos do mundo.
@Art Director u re racist
It's such a refreshing thing that a mainstream band can get to talk about issues completely unfiltered. About social media manipulation, dictatorships, religion used in the name of violence and complex geopolitical issues. This isn't a random celebrity putting out a sponsored tweet in the name of safe political causes which they know everyone will agree on. This is why it's so positive to have such diverse ideas with John and Serj, in actual true diversity of thought you can find truth and progress.
so true...
Just out of curiosity, what language do Armenians speak?

@Ilham Quliyev yes they need to stay strong because the impact of that war for some people will be eternal, some people lost houses lost family during the war, no matter the side you are with we are talking about harmless people civilians they didn't do anything they need help, don't be a heartless human, don't mess around with people's suffering.
@Ilham Quliyev are you acting like a lunatic or you are one? What part you don't understand when i am telling you that people that have nothing to do with war are left homeless... little kids, who gives a fuck who won the war? I care about the people that will suffer from the result of the war, in reality no one "wins" a war both sides loose.

When you 4 are 2gether its like you light up the stars with God's love. 2gether you are a force 2 be reckoned with. Do not stand alone. Please this is not about you alone. You have a calling...... Being alone leaves each of you vulnerable.
2gether your strength is beyond and beautiful.

Dude, I don't think you know. Armenia has already surrendered, the fighting is over.
Thank you very much for your support
@@HaykTarkhanyan of course. ^^
@@verscarii3238
Bro, its a surrender. Not a ceasefire.
You know its a surrender when you thought you had Shusha under your control but the next day, you suddenly sign an accord and pledge to move all your troops out of Nagorno Karabagh. That is why people are rioting in Yerevan right now. They know its a surrender.
"Ceasefire" just sounds kinda less humiliating, I know, but the truth is, NK as a de facto entity is OVER. As such, calling it a "ceasefire" is pretty moot.
And in case its a ceasefire, what exactly is the point of making this? Obviously the fighting has stopped, right? But sadly no amount of PR will ever get you the previous status you had on NK, the Minsk group has failed, and Russia directly stepped in, so, spreading the word in Western countries is useless.
The Azerbaijani Army was about to enter Khankendi (Stepanakert) in maybe a couple of days at most. I guess Pashinyan knew what was best for all of ya. Instead, now they're trying to behead him, and present the head to Putin so that he gives them a pat on the back.
Years and years of funding Armenia with diaspora money, 60% went to the pockets of the likes of Serj (not this Serj, the other Serj).
When I saw some videos of this war in TV I started crying. War is something really horrible. I'm so happy that SOAD is back, but sad because of the reason why. I love these guys.
