We missed you, Serj! I've been a fan since your first album with SOAD. I am a 48 yr old multi genre vocalist and for 20+ years now when it's time for vocal practice, instead of doing scales, I throw on one of your albums and sing along. Your vocal range is so diverse, within 20 minutes I have warmed up every note in every key known to mankind. YOU, sir, are without a doubt, THE best vocalist this world has ever heard. Thank you for all you have done for modern music. ❤
Eh. It's similar, if he sings in certain ways. He's definitely avoiding heavier stuff and has been for a long time and it's not just a creative preference. Even in some of the more aggressive parts of this he's straining more than he ever did in the past. I think he still makes decent music, but I also think it's a little disingenuous to pretend his voice hasn't degraded at all with age.
Stop being delusional. History of humanity is all about conflict, hate and being divided. Just because you feel inspired by a song doesn't change those facts about our reality
I never thought that an old Armenian man (and I am one) would be rocking out on TH-cam. My grandmother narrowly escaped the genocide. She was rescued by french ships at the base of Musa Dagh in 1915. She was 12 years old and the horrors she saw haunted her for her whole life. She loved America with all her heart. Thanks to Serj for helping us to never forget.
Imagine being a self-proclamed genocide survivor and "loving America with all your heart". So I guess you grandma was pro-genocide just not herself being victimized
@@BalkanSpectreYou gotta have a nuanced view of this. A lot of people rock American flags and become patriotic because America is the place where they live, or because they got attached to the country, especially people who escape horrors will get attached once they rest there, it's not because they support literally every single horrific thing the American flag has stood for and every genocide and war and bombing America has done. You're doing great trying to make people aware that the things America does is just as horrible but you gotta have more nuance, and try to come at this by trying to educate people, rather than demonizing victims of genocide, especially when the topic is so personal to someone

Having recently read “Down with the System” and having followed Serj for a number of years I understand how personal this song is, and the depth of meaning behind it. It astounds me how deeply ingrained in Turkish culture the denial of the Armenian Genocide is, I recently viewed a recipe (of all things) on Instagram where the cook credited Lahmajoun as being Turkish. A number of people (myself included) questioned the accuracy of this, raising the Armenian link, and I was disgusted by how many Turks came out of the woodwork vehemently denying the Armenian genocide occurred, and even blaming Armenians as being the aggressors. I have no ties to Armenia, I have no Armenian in me but I will happily and proudly stand in support of the Armenian people and their ongoing fight for justice. Justice WILL shine on you all!
I love when Serj is being serious and putting his heart in the music rather than just trying to be abstract. This guy writes lyrics about what matters. One of a kind artist
I would give anything to have a chat with you over a beer, Serj. As a first generation Armenian-American, growing up on SOAD's music and enjoying your collections throughout adult life, it's all so relatable. Thank you so much for all the art you have made!
Serj is a MONSTER in this world (Monster meaning "massive" ALL positivity in this description) He exemplifies the definition of artist. I don't believe monetary gain has ever been a focus of his (at least not for himself & if it was, it was for very worth while causes) The talent of his is mind blowing. His solo projects or Soad work is epic & still continuing. What impresses me the most is just how dedicated & honest his intentions of raising awareness of equal human rights for EVERYONE as well as not condoning any violence of any type. I have NO shame admiting to idolizing this Man!!
@@jaredwhiting8568 I think their point is Serj hates the rock star life and his music is always very political. If Serj is making music, it's likely there are serious problems in the world that need discussion.
It's almost like SOAD was back together again! This and Scars on Broadway really shows that while both Daron and Serj contributed to its unique style, System just is not the same if you take away one or the other. Either way, this is fantastic!!
@@kissesbloody they're not really 'broken up' but they haven't done much together just because Serj and Daron seem to have a lot of conflict about ideas. So all four members pretty much just do their own projects now
@@kissesbloodyBecause the drummer played every show and every song with his ears covered, or never read the fucking lyrics of the band. John Dolmayan is sadly a right-winger
This man is great in many ways, his involvement in equality for his fellow country people. Along with, his musical talent. Thank you sir, for everything you have done and continue to do. You contribute positively to society.
As a native Canadian who'd great grandmother narrowly escaped the 60's scoop, who's gaining his culture back. This is like a voice for me to. Thank you serj😊
@@JacksonOwex Yeah they did. I wasn't counting them because Serj doesn't do any of the songwriting for System of a down nowadays except for maybe some lyrics and it's been confirmed that they were originally Scars on Broadway songs.
@@JacksonOwex As Med said, those were Scars songs that they released under SOAD to fundraise. Which is totally fair, but you could tell they were Scars songs.
I’m a simple man, I see Serj Tankian post a video I watch said video and leave a positive comment. I hope things are going well and thank you for sharing this banger with us!
This also applies to what is happening in Palestine to all of the innocence being slaughtered by the evil neighbors including our government unfortunately, they will have their judgement day and the blood of these will be on their hands . 😢
Your grandfather and all survived Armenians' stories will never be forgotten, Serj! Love and peace to all Armenians around the world from Iran💚🤍❤️🔥🧡💙❤️
I wish I understood the discord between Serj and Daron. They both make amazing music on their own. When they combine their musical genius, it’s a recipe for greatness that can’t be replicated. I will always have hope that they can get together and work through their differences, so they can give the world what it’s been starving for, for over a decade now.
Serj your music is truly inspiring, your music has changed my life and this song is especially great. Thank you for being an artist, you are amazing! Justice will shine on!
Such a good song. I am Jewish but accept all Islam as my brothers and sisters. We fight for nothing when we should be loving each other instead. I hope for a shining future when all the Middle East is at peace and loves each other. I hope I can see it in my lifetime.
this song gives me a feeling of "it all comes full circle".. because the meaning of this song is a huge part of the foundation of system of a down's beginnings, as i understand it
The way he sings the lyrics "Justice Will Shine On," though. I don't remember a lot of musical jargon, but instead of a hopeful crescendo as the high note, he turns the crescendo at "shine" to a lower and makes it menacing. Like this isn't a hopeful wish anymore, it's a promise and a threat to the unjust. And of course the rest of the lyrics follow through with making that promise.
I look forward to the days when everyone will pay for their actions, and karma always comes back. Sooner or later! Serj has a great voice and without him this song would not have the same power .
We have definitely slipped through to another dimension… suddenly all my favorite bands/singers are making a comeback with rock/metal sounds in 2024. Linkin Park, As I Lay Dying, and now Serj too!!! Couldn’t be more glad!
I hope you see this Serj. As an Indigenous woman of what is now called America, I hear my peoples struggles in your music. I can't help but see the similarities between our peoples struggles and I feel the rage of people and traditions taken.
