I'll always like the first two system albums.
But serj is a sell out.
After the ALLEGED new Zealand attack, he was talking about how the OVERLORD of NZ was a bad person for not restricting peaceful people's means of self defense, all because a killer SUPPOSEDLY sprayed a bunch of people, and recorded himself doing so.
The recording is on bitchute., And looks like a first person shooter with word graphics than GoldenEye for the N64.
Check out redsilverj's channel. He used to have videos up on TH-cam breaking down these so called tragedies... Until they got censored .... Can't have too much truth out there.
It's so disappointing, too.
Cuz when you think of soad, you think of truth and justice.
this man said that he never thought of singing at first. Thank God he corrected himself
He was the only member of the band who took up music late when he was in his late 20's, if I remember correctly... Whilst Daron, Shavo and John were playing since they were little kids 😍👍
Thanks, I didn't know that. If you think about it, it is even inspiring for ppl who wants to start learning music and are not so young
Definitely! :D Not for me though, I'm 26 and I STILL don't know what I want to do in life! lol :V x
@@steampoweredpixel I'm almost the same age and trust me, it is natural to doubt. The only thing needed is patience.
That's awesome! :D I wish you the best of luck :) x
The smile on his face when he says "and that's the first time Daron and I worked together", so heartwarming
I wanna cry

Yeeeah 😊
Omg just hearing His voice again makes me so relaxed
Waldus Lacroix check out his patreon. Watching him paint is actually therapeutic
No credit card to send him money from
Yes
He really sounds like Squidward sometimes tho. I just wanted him to be like, "well... You see? What happened was... It all started w/ a pineapple..."

Look at his smile when he is reminiscing the time he first met and worked with Daron. I adore their friendship so much.
In grey he looks like a typical dad. Dad Tankian.
Блять. This is true.
@@АкаккакатьСидя А как какать стоя?
Daddy Tankian 😩🙈😍
Papa Serj
Tbh would totally trade my dad for Serj, they're about the same age and background anyways..
My life would be 90% less worse if Serj was my father
only 90?

@@supereric2206father into your hands i commend my spirit
Serj totally reminds me of everyone’s favorite uncle
System of a Down and Serj Tankian saved me from myself in my teens, without their music I wouldn't have a place in life. They opened me up to understanding life isn't fair and many people are going through troubles, learning about the world from them and opening myself up to everything they saved me and I'll always appreciate and respect that.
Thank you guys, whether they choose to get back together or stay apart for their own reasons I'll respect, but thanks to them I can continue on with my own path.
Cheffÿ it’s good. Only Christ can save us tough. Skillet is also an amazing band that will make you feel good 😊❤️
@@andrewpegman7959 We are all Christ.
Mrariesdave no we are not all Christ. Christ is God who died for our sins and we are saved when we believe in him ❤️
same experience cheffy, soad also save my lonely useless life. I can't explain the feeling of hapiness when I discovered them. it sounds over reacting but that is what I felt.
literally same.
In August 2001, Serj & System came into my life. My world would never the same again.
In September 2001, the Twin Towers came down. The World would never the same again.
In November 2001, my father died. I was just 21. My World would never the same again.
In January 2002, I saw System LIVE for the time. My world would never the same again.
That was one profoundly transformative time in my life (and for the world). System got me through, Toxicity did not leave my CD player for a year at least. System is forever imprinted in my psyche in ways I can’t explain. They helped me in ways beyond measure. Their message and timing was profoundly tapped into the collective unconscious at that time. More than music, these True artists who were like companions on the journey of my life.
Forever grateful.
Tribute to your father, peace and love. Glad that they made you happy anyway
@@АлисаШнапс Thank you
God bless you man ❤

Serj Tankian I can not understand anything you say, because I do not understand English, but I like to hear the sound of your voice.

I’ve never thought I’d hear Serj talk.
You realize there has been interviews right
@@Phantom_binovirex8974 r/wooooooooosh
@@TyroneMcDonalds not really no
In my first band I played at a local studio, started screaming randomly about violent sex acts into the mic. Then the owner of the studio opened the door shaking his head angrily and said”You guys are fucked up.” Then slammed the door. We started laughing. It was fun. 😊
I wish system of a down never broke up. I still listen to them everyday.

Absolutely

@@cliveano5588 hope you know what you just did to yourself
System Of A Down will forever be my favourite band, I was around 8 when I heard my brother and his friends listen to them, I'm 20 now and appreciate their music even more now understanding their songs
he such a sweet dude
Serj smiles & lights up when reminiscent of playing with Daron this tells me they are true brothers & gives me hope for S.O.A.D to come together once again,that friendship & love for your brothers will hopefully be strong enough to heal & unite them once more. This is my wishful fanboy positivism at its most optimistic.
“I didn’t know what I was doing I was just enjoying it” and now he’s in system of a fucking down, where they can go 15 years not releasing music and still have people go fucking crazy for it
Wow when i see this guy old, i get so much nostalgic. Also Armenian genocide finaly got accepted, and he fought for that whole his life!!!!!
So weird hearing him so calm
I probably watched a few days ago a program with him and Anthony Bourdain and he was so fucking CALM - almost said nothing. It was really strange, he was there but he was like he wasn't there..
I thought he was gonna pound down two beers at the same time while threatening to kill us. 🤔
LaLaLaLaLaLa ...... Owwooooo
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Hello..I am Form Indonesia
bro omg where does he sing the "lalala owooo" I saw that clip once and I never found it again!!

this man makes me smile so easily...lovely story!
Wake The Fuck Up SoADer ! Hell yeah
Wake The Fuck Up SoADer ! Whenever I look up a SOAD video, I always see you lol. One time, I saw your comment on a video from 5 or 6 years ago. Nice to see you again buddy! 😁
❤️ how can I respect a human so much that I’ve never met?
I met the entire band in 99 when roadrunner records were releasing Slipknots first album. Cool dudes. A helluva lot cooler than most bands.
@@JasonRyanWilson410 more down to Earth??
You and Daron should play again to create a new album, or at leas one song. The whole world need it!
His talking voice sounds so different with his singing voice. 😮
Who else thinks they should definitely come back?
dudeonew14 They are touring right now. But yeah I want a new album too.
I know this has nothing to do with this video but looks like Serj growing back his sideburns like he had back in early 2000! if you look closely they're longer than usual. 2001 serj making a comeback? :D
Oof good spot
Are you alive, Rick???
Stupid comments...
@@kicoDbz no
Or maybe he just didn't shave enough? Wtf with this comment....
SERJ WE MISS YOU ! PLEASE BRING BACK SOAD ! I SEEN YOU LIVE IN CALGARY CANADA I THINK IT WAS 2003 , ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS IVE SEEN \M/
I’m so glad I could hear his voice
So much hard core comes from a calm guy
I am soo happy just to know you still alive 😊😂🌹
Pls if its possible make reunion to soad and produce songs together again 😭😢
God, I miss SoaD. I still listen to Hypnotize/Mesmerize religiously. Fucking genius.
I never heard his voice in a calm manner ....I thought he was going to sound raspy and old. I'm in shock
Very cool. Now we need an explanation on what bicycle shoestrings & plutonium wedding rings are
Serj's voice is more familiar than my own dads...and we're very close lol
Hes just amazing
Nobody:
Serj and james root of slipknot:
"YOU KNOW"
i love your music, it remember me my best moments
I've never heard him speak and I actually imagined him to sound like this. He sounds like a dad I never had. I dont know where he's at it's been 25 years.
I'm happy because you're still alive

En serio alguien debería juntar a estos grandes cantantes para componer una canción antes de que sea demasiado tarde: Serj Tankian, Jonathan Davis, Corey Taylor, quizas también Chino Moreno y Marilyn Manson. Sería algo grande.
My god I feel old
Uncle Serj!!
I love you so much!!!
Honestly I've never heard him speak without singing before and k expected him to have a thick accent.
Such a great story.
The most amazing man
Serj Tankian has property in Auckland, New Zealand, We all love having Serj in god's own country NZ !!
I love your music serj especially the legend of zelda song you did absolutely love it
