MetallicBrony He made his own band with John (The dummer), it's called Scars on Broadway. But all of this happened between 2007 and 2013, they are all back together now.
TheSLK66 Maybe there's been a reason for that. He's finally able to make his own music and he loves it. He must be absolutely honored that this many people enjoy his solo music too.
+Mike Olive I've noticed that too; In almost all of the more recent SOAD concert videos I've watched (from 2011 until now), Serj is always doing silly little dances and stuff. I know a lot of people complain about him not sounding as aggressive and stuff, but his goofy personality just seems so fun.
Wow!! The whole audience is singing at the beginning and look at serj's face as he turns and gets the band going!! Really powerful when that shit kicks in
Damn it....if I would have known about Serj/Soad while I was on chemotherapy as a teenager, I would have asked for my wish to be able to meet Serj Tankian, or at least go to one of his shows.... :(
@@tomasrpdepaiva9806 17 years clean and clear of cancer! I was 2 months shy of turning 16 when I was diagnosed. Being that age made treatment and recovery a little easier. Thank you for asking! I didn't think to put that I've been in remission for a while now when I posted this.
Serj is my hero and seeing his live was the peak moment of my life and I will always be obsessed with him and System, still torn I’ve never seen the group together
In my opinion, Serj Tankian is one of the best singers there is currently. I would like to tell him personally that for many people he is a master of rock music. The way he always manages to play with his voice and hit the right notes is simply world class. I think since he's been making solo music he's happier than before. He is indescribable. Serj we love you.❤
doggy 1977 im not gonna waste my time. so yeah. if you honestly think he actually sounds like him then just.... stop listening to music. good day to you
I love him. His voice is just incredible and so is this song. This performance was so damn cool. I like the pre-song thing they had. SInce I like rhythm, it was a cool thing to hear.

When I listen to his songs and the songs of SOAD, the lyrics really make me think of how we affect this world and the people,places, and animals on it. Thi song especially is my fav cuz not only the tune, but the meaning is wonderful.
I really love the little reggae jam at the beginning. That's the great thing about live music. They can add things like that to compliment the track and get the audience pumped and involved with the experience.
Saw him 4 times already, never did he have a bad day, was he in a bad mood, and never was there any kind of lack of an awesome performance. Serj is the man!
he is just an insane musician.... voice guitar bass brums keyboard he can do so much :) love his orcastar lives. his voice is so powerful all the instruments together are so beautiful
loving SOAD the way I do, and how devastating it would be to see them split up, I'm really glad that I can still see serj making music. He's such a talented musician
I am a wedding DJ in small country called Bulgaria and it's very rare to play this kind of songs, but this one is perform unique by Serj. I'm chilling all over my body when I hear it... Just unique!
Serj is the best ... He respresent all the things I want to see in an artist ... Humanity, talent and respect for his public ... This live is really awesome! (Sorry for my school english lol)
gracias por todo la sabiduría que me has dado mi señor y mi Santísima reina mía yo lo miraba venir todo esto y estas canciones me lo mostraban todo yo miraba como se acabava todo lo que creía que era mío so nada ni nadie es tuyo en esta vida sólo es prestado y vamos de pasada
Yillar once, sanirim 2012 zamanlarinda dinlerdim. Bugun buraya ugradim ve buraya bir zaman kapsulu birakiyorum. Bir on yil sonrasina daha, si je vis :)
serj tankian got soul and a huge oriantal/gipsy influence in his voice, this mix is amzaing i think ... see you 05.06.2011 on rock am ring !!! greetz from good old germany. WEEEWWW !!!!
I'm always very impressed by your music and other activities - first in SOAD and after that in solo projects. Your work absolutely completing each other, your solo project confirms that this is next step in education how to see and listen more, how to not fear feel and think - how to be a human. Thank you. You're an important part of my life.
It may just be me but he appears more energetic and happy and an all around better stage presence when he touring with his solo stuff but when hes with SOAD he seems like he just dosent wanna be there
makes since the SOAD guitarist thinks he is the lead singer. i have seen several shows where i would have been mad if i was Serj wait is that the same guitarist?
NeOmega Black well I know this is old but Daron was originally brought on as the lead singer and the bassets was the guitarist and Sirj was the keyboardist but they switch around a lot.
Probably because they argued a lot and the two that left and started their own band never wanted to play anymore because they disliked their own music they made with Serj.

Serj Tankian is a fucking legend.
Amethyst FeatherStone why did he leave system of a down thoug?
MetallicBrony Serj didn't necessarily leave. System of a down took a "break" because they all wanted to pursue different projects and whatnot.
where did the guitar player go?
MetallicBrony He made his own band with John (The dummer), it's called Scars on Broadway. But all of this happened between 2007 and 2013, they are all back together now.
Red Fox Yeah, but he lost his fuckin dirty awesome voice ;c
Serj Tankian is a fucking genius.
I always said that
Agree
I don't care what anyone says, Serj rocked the Solo scene, besides he dances like a God.
No, he is a dancing god
Well, this is not really solo. There is quite a bunch of people around him, but he's still uniquely great.
he did not had a solo psrt due to the open mouth guitar player.even franky perez was better
I don't think I ever saw Serj this happy, not even when he was starting System of a Down.
TheSLK66 Maybe there's been a reason for that. He's finally able to make his own music and he loves it. He must be absolutely honored that this many people enjoy his solo music too.
TheSLK66 It's hard to look happy with aggressive music like SOAD's, but even with SOAD he's super cheerful.
TheSLK66 Serj enjoys what he sings, whatever the circumstances.

Only Serj can make air guitar look cool. That is extremely hard to do. Well done Serj!
Daron did LOL, but… serj is PERFECT
Long live Serj and SOAD.
and scars on broad way
High Dragon yes
High Dragon no thanks
Zombie_ Roca scars on Broadway is fucking great
geileboterkoek69 it’s alright. If I had to put it in an order, it would be SOAD, Serj, then Scars. That’s my opinion.
serj is my hero and inspiration
yes its is :)
i mean he
2:24 damn i got chills when i hear crowd
And i bet he did too
i cry to that was so cool
Ok, fuck this.... If I could make one person immortal, it would be him :D what a legend....
Armandas Kubiliūnas What about Chuck?
I'd make the whole band immortal
The MysteriousDJ even better :D
***** Yeah, you're right. That's just me being kind of selfish.
Anidamaru depends who you ask
Greatest Rock voice in the last few decades.
Chris Cornell too
I dont think anyone tops Layne Staley, but Serj has a very powerful voice
Chester Bennington too rip legend😢
Serj's voice is so powerful
so much power in this live version, holy shit.
Wow!! The whole audience is singing at the beginning and look at serj's face as he turns and gets the band going!! Really powerful when that shit kicks in
Damn it....if I would have known about Serj/Soad while I was on chemotherapy as a teenager, I would have asked for my wish to be able to meet Serj Tankian, or at least go to one of his shows.... :(
he is proforming live on nov 10
+butterball human yeah, but its not one i can make it to.
Oh...

his voice is amazing...
I won't want to live when this man and James hetfield pas away....

And M Shadows..
Same 2 people for me as well..
Serj yea james no
this video shows off his amazing and versatile vocals

2:40 goosebumps...
the same
Only the best feeling ever
No, this transcends goosebumps...
I see genious in that artist. This is obviously the best live performance of all time made by a solo musician (artist)
Fucks sake I've been to 100's of gigs but I would chop my arm off to have been to this!
It's been so long, but I still fucking love this performance
There are those times when you watch a video or hear music and it gives you goosebumps this is one of those songs for sure.
Yeah, it is very good but, for me nah, I know Serj likes this type of music but he is nothing in front of Mozart or George Bizet.
He looks so happy, but I miss the old system, when he was as happy as this…
i love this man
This is simply a masterpiece
1:30 always love when serj does his little operatic vocals
It's so weird to watch him in soad in 1997 and then to see him like this. What a transformation.
that little nose crinkle he does is to die for and that voice is angelic uuuugh I love you serj tankian!!!
He gets a fucking couch on stage that's awesome XD
Only he can do that :D
doggy 1977 ew
doggy 1977
serj is nothing like them, the fact that you say he does makes me squeamish
doggy 1977
you're either a troll or a idiot. he sounds nothing like harry....
doggy 1977
im not gonna waste my time. so yeah. if you honestly think he actually sounds like him then just.... stop listening to music. good day to you
Who needs swag when you are Serj Tankian?
Best live performance of a rock song I've ever seen! Serj can ACTUALLY sing!
my favourite song of Serj's solo stuff, and an amazing performance... Hes wearing the same outfit as in the music video haha
Athena Neo but he doesn’t have that cool beard
I love him. His voice is just incredible and so is this song. This performance was so damn cool. I like the pre-song thing they had. SInce I like rhythm, it was a cool thing to hear.
Love serj Tankian
I ABSOLUTELY love this performance!!! He is so sincere and so powerful with his vocals...just look at how dedicated the audience was to the band!!!
He is one of the few musicians who sound like the real song live! He fuckin rocks!!!
Lyrics:
Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls
Those empty walls
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls
I left you
yesterday before
you killed my family
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Told you
To see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be, left behind those empty walls
Told you
To see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those goddamn walls
Those walls
Those walls
❤
SERJGASM!
When I listen to his songs and the songs of SOAD, the lyrics really make me think of how we affect this world and the people,places, and animals on it. Thi song especially is my fav cuz not only the tune, but the meaning is wonderful.
I really love the little reggae jam at the beginning. That's the great thing about live music. They can add things like that to compliment the track and get the audience pumped and involved with the experience.
This is now one of my favourite songs of all time, and my favourite version too!
Seriously Serj Tankian is simply and absolute FUCKING GOLD
The man ive always wanted to see perform live but have never had the chance to.
Incredible performance! Quite contrary to other people, Serj makes one proud to be human!
Holy Shit this is amazing I wish I was there
Best song I’ve ever seen live? Holiday in Cambodia by Serj Tankian. Just the effort and love was next level.
this is one of the greatest life performances i have ever seen, heard and felt! Thank you!
Это ШЕДЕВР!!!😲😊🤗👏👏👍👍🖐🖐
Una delle voci più belle della storia della musica! Grazie tankian
Wow this is probably the best live performance for this song
Anybody who gets a couch on stage with him is just epic
Saw him 4 times already, never did he have a bad day, was he in a bad mood, and never was there any kind of lack of an awesome performance.
Serj is the man!
It seems to me that, his live versions are way better than the studio ones
he is just an insane musician.... voice guitar bass brums keyboard he can do so much :) love his orcastar lives. his voice is so powerful all the instruments together are so beautiful
What a great rendition this is.
¡ La mejor version de Empty Walls que he escuchado !
2023 still listening this masterpiece.
2024 STILL
Serj is the best singer I ever heard and he doesn't even need auto tune!
I can't even imagine the feeling that the lucky few who attended this concert felt.
I was skeptical of this video but it is genius.. go serj👏❤👏❤
loving SOAD the way I do, and how devastating it would be to see them split up, I'm really glad that I can still see serj making music. He's such a talented musician
Man Serj Is such an amazing person. This is truly one of the greatest Bands ever.
I am a wedding DJ in small country called Bulgaria and it's very rare to play this kind of songs, but this one is perform unique by Serj. I'm chilling all over my body when I hear it... Just unique!
Wish I was old enough to have gone to this concert. Looks like it would've been a blast and a half
Gosh ,really. I wish so much to be a "mic" to be on Serj's hands and feel his lips. Even now, August, 2024. His Birthday is August,21. 💜💜🔥
are we just gonna ignore the fact that he just casually has a couch onstage?
Yes
2:24 awesome moment! omfg!
serj is one of the best artists!
Anyone whos comfortabble enough to have a couch on the stage AND ACTUALLY SIT ON IT during it IS MANDATORYLY BADASS
Сержик лучший! Слушаю и наслаждаюсь!Голос божественный!!!!
Was so happy to be at this gig with my mum. Fantastic evening!
Serj is the best ... He respresent all the things I want to see in an artist ... Humanity, talent and respect for his public ... This live is really awesome! (Sorry for my school english lol)
Voz. Perfeita. Estou apaixonada te amo serj tankian
Jeez, this man is incredible. The opening blew me away :)
serj é bom demais
gracias por todo la sabiduría que me has dado mi señor y mi Santísima reina mía yo lo miraba venir todo esto y estas canciones me lo mostraban todo yo miraba como se acabava todo lo que creía que era mío so nada ni nadie es tuyo en esta vida sólo es prestado y vamos de pasada
its a legend and a hero in same time this song i listening wen i was young
I so love this live version! It's great! I like it from 0:00 to 6:18.

Best live of this song ever.I'm so happy about Serj
От лица Русских)))
Мы любим вас!)
Cool Improvisation
Serj did the air guitar and made it look good, this man is a god
serj tankian got soul and a huge oriantal/gipsy influence in his voice, this mix is amzaing i think ... see you 05.06.2011 on rock am ring !!! greetz from good old germany. WEEEWWW !!!!
SIMPLESMENTE FODA!!!!

Sin palabras, genial Serj

makes since the SOAD guitarist thinks he is the lead singer. i have seen several shows where i would have been mad if i was Serj wait is that the same guitarist?
NeOmega Black SOAD guitarist is Daron Malakian (look at the channel name)
EDIT: saw channel info, guy only took his name :(
They are all there for one man Serj! Wouldn't you been energetic if you had a huge place full of your 'Own' fans?
NeOmega Black well I know this is old but Daron was originally brought on as the lead singer and the bassets was the guitarist and Sirj was the keyboardist but they switch around a lot.
Probably because they argued a lot and the two that left and started their own band never wanted to play anymore because they disliked their own music they made with Serj.
Just that little hint of ragae in that guitar. And serj just vibing with it. Once you hear the fans sing it's instant chills
Мощнейший талант,красавец
el mejor cantante del mundo lo adoro
I tought that Empty Walls became a reaggea song xD
I loved it
Ngl same. I was getting into it xD
couch, carpet, top hat...and a massive musical kitchen where Serj is a chef
they're having so much fun! I miss this kind of music and performance in my life!
serj é o melhor tanto sozinho quanto com o system!
ne
ele é simplesmente demais, mano
+Gabriella Gomes sim kkkk, to viciado na live. da the charade , mt foda
