There already ARE a lot of people like Serj in this world. What's needed is for every single one of them to stop being sheeple, take a stand, support a cause, lend a hand, etc. and stop waiting for someone else to 'do something.'
guitarman88ify I was researching about him just now and found that. I'm Arabic myself so I looked up his name then interview to see if he speaks Arabic, looks like he doesn't. :(
Serj Danielian can u confirm the meaning of the name Serj? Being Arab, so is Serj Tankian, “Serj” means horse saddle, it may have different meanings depending on its accent and derivative. I’d appreciate knowing the actual meaning of the name :)
1:38 mark these words. For everyone trying to come up with music. This is exactly how you should do it. And dude that whole idea about choosing where your tax money goes is absolutely amazing. Gives people a better feeling of where their money's going and provides loads of info on our society at the same time.
@@DinosaurSuccess exactly how he puts it. Just pick up your instrument (or beat) and have fun. Write what comes to mind. 90% of the song I write are inspired off merely the way I'm feeling in that exact moment and not really a defined construct or idea. Don't go into it like "ya, this song is gunna be about this and is gunna sound like this" Just do it. Say what ur thinking. Best of luck brotha.
Serj is god, he has such a peaceful mind and he's so chill! Would like to have him as a president, he would just solve the problems easily because of the person he is. Amazing human being!! Love you man
I know I am a few years late, but hope you are all doing better. Struggled with depression for many years, fine now. Adults need to take this seriously.
My god these two. I’m so amazed at how humble Serj is, he’s such an amazing person and soul. I loved this interview. And the whole part when they have are silent and the fact that Serj just goes with whatever is handed to him. Love him
2:30 He makes a good point here. I would say this same thing applies to pretty much everything. Every breath is a gift that comes from somewhere beyond our control
Rainn, you have such a genuine and enriching energy. Thank you for making this show and sharing it with us. I feel like my life is better after having watched this.
I agree with Serj about the importance of justice and freedom for everyone. I would love to see all people, young and old, fighting and standing up for those who are trapped in human trafficking. We need to proclaim freedom for all the millions of women and children who are stuck in this underground mega industry that exploits people for money. Let's all be a voice and use our talents to help in any way that we can!!!
To be giving to people on a large and small scale as much as we possibly can. From handing someone a popsicle who's walking by, to going across seas to support the hungry and famished. Helping and loving others at all points in our lives.That is my vision and goal in life.
Dear serj, you are my true inspiration! I wish I could somehow talk to you, I am a HUGE fan of all your music past and present and I think you it speaks a really important message (as well as sounding amazing). Your music is a relief from the meaningless crappy music that us teenagers are spammed with, keep singing and keep making change!
I love you Serj! You have put out so much music, and every time I hear one of your songs every time it brings me to my knees! "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" always wanted ask; sounds a lot like "buying a halo"?
Hmm, that may very well be. This song is so coded it's hard to figure out. Actually I really don't think they are saying "buying a halo". That would be an entirely different song, and I love the concept of buying a halo.
This is the first time I am seeing this and Ialmost had tears in my eyes in two points. First when Serj said that the art comes from beyond us, I felt it so much because I think the same and I knew at that time that Serj's consciousness is on another level. And then he went on to say that we don't feel interconnected, that's why we hate and that we don't need organised religion... man this man has won my heart and soul today because this is exactly how I feel and this is the first time I have ever hear someone other than me saying it. Thanks, Serj, I needed this.
thanks for your comment. I was emotionally moved too, I almost cried for the same reasons as yours, and I was concerned, I thought I was going into some hormonal changes like menopause or unexpected pregnancy or something :D Jokes besides, I really share many of his thoughts and vision, I really like him as human being, and I am really grateful that he's a known person so he can speaks to many hearts and souls.
I am a sinner but it is God that makes me good, show unconditional kindness and love and encouragement to everyone you meet and you will never need to fear of falling away from truth. Thank you also for your kind words!
*They’re homosexual innuendos. He enjoys getting “drilled”, “ran over”, “shanked”, and “pounded”. You can’t trust this guy to be literal in his language. He hints out his true homosexual consistently with the absurd things that he says.*
idk if you guys are Naturally bonding or are simply artists who act natural.... but this is very inspirational. the words, the works the magnitude of reach. you guys have the gift and the means of reaching people
Art is the lens with which I see the world most clearly. When I make art I feel like I am solving a math problem in images. When I complete a work I it is like I have an understanding that was alluding me prior to starting the piece. I would be completely crazy if I didn't have this pure and positive meditative tool. I love Serj XD He gets it.
Why the hell would Serj be walking in the the middle of the road anyways?? And why would the interview be in the back of a creepy white guys van? I love it.
a growth in appreciation and awareness for the possibilities and opportunities. Whether it be education, a loving family, technology, an individuals unique features, food, water, even the little things (such as a hot shower or a nice home) that make life a little bit nicer. We all tend to forget the good things in life because we put too much focus around the bad things that may be going on; but a reminder that life is pretty good is all you need. Appreciate the things we take for granted.
I just discovered this today and it feels like the strangest cross over. I love the office and i love soad, have since 2004 and 98 respectively. This is lile mixing to different universes... like mixing blue and up, fast and wet or falling a loving
This is the first video I've watch on this channel and literally just found out that Rainn has a channel!?? Crazy...I just bought your book, man! Can't wait to watch more videos and check out your book!
Love this interview...We don't need political leaders to run governmental public offices, we need real people with a real connectivity to guide those who are still living in ignorance and denial of the one truth, the prime truth, we are all one with god and nature and with each other, and when we harness our collective power we will reunite and change this reality into something even more spectacular and beautiful, free from evil and corruption, but people need to rediscover themselves, reevaluate their purpose and their existence, understand the world differently in order to accept each other beyond the illusion of color, language and indifference. On another note : A cause I care about is to see a radical change in the infrastructure of our current social system, local, national, and world wide, from our education, to our knowledge of the universe and our role we play within it, to becoming one with our fellow celestial brotherhood, to rise above tyranny and ignorance, for all to ascend in hopes of one day traveling the stars and reaching higher levels of existence. I realize the "controllers' of this planet won't let that happen easily, so I hold this dream in the back of my mind, until one life I can experience this with the rest of humanity.
I want everyone to post all their hate in one place on the internet with the only intention to resolve it. Like a negative filter that turns all your bad feelings into good ones.
This guy is fantastic!! I was kinda expecting to be really really...activisty but hes just chill and carefully beleives in what he believes. Oh and its not ridiculous too. like its good and hearty!
I agree. I use my writing to show my opinions about whales and whaling. I think that by encouraging students to use their talent, a new world is opened up to them. I can't sing like Serj Takian, nor am I very artistic. However, the gift of words and paper can be a method used to have your thoughts and feelings reach the hearts of many.
see?, this is a great “”interview””, one in which there is an actual conversation and not just questions and questions and questions. I remember some other ones where they just asked them a lot of things and they couldn’t even answer with what they wanted. I love this channel
He is speaking of tapping into the Divine Feminine to *receive* downloads of inspiration and creation. He always gave me an enlightened vibe. We could all take advice from him
A cause I care about, is the disconnect between how Native American culture is represented in media and what is ACTUALLY is and has been. Only certain tribes lived in teepees, wore headdresses, decorated with feathers in certain manners, but movies tend to group it all together as if there is no cultural differentiation between tribes. Redskin is a racist term, used when mass bounties were put on Native Peoples. Sioux is an Ojibwe word (with a French adaptation) meaning "snake in the grass" to describe the Dakota/Lakota peoples. There is no 'honor' in any of that.
I do not know if you are first nations, and it doesn't matter, you have my vote on this issue. Both Canada and the USA have a very dark history in terms of treating the first nations as second class citizens, in the past and present. The future for the people of the first nations is dependent on the majority of people in our societies today. I see a lot of misinformation and lack of empathy towards the first nations and it saddens me to think some people would have entirely different idea's of the culture and tribes if they would just see the state of the reservations and why our culture needs help from the government that once sought to destroy them. I do not believe that anyone is aiming to destroy what is left of our culture and population on purpose, but inaction and misinformation could do so if even by accident.
Christopher Cyr You brought up a good point... the PRESENT state of First Nation culture is also unrepresented, and probably even more so than it's pre-colonial state. A couple rez's around me run casinos and make millions, but you don't hear about all the others that don't have that. Families living in roll-off storage containers. But you don't hear about the GOOD stuff either, the musicians and artists trying to make a name for themselves, the styles and jokes. All that's really going on, it's just so 'apart' and unheard of by anyone outside the circle. When people don't know much about Native culture anyway, who knows what they'll believe by merely hearing some rumor?
Nathan Foss most red's don't have much support, and I've found the ones with casino's don't always have a good rez because of it, like all people of all races there can be the greedy ones who are wealthy and the rest that are impoverished. I much agree with you.
I want to give the people that want to live in balance and sustainability the chance to with off grid, sustainable living solutions. While also communicating steady state economic principles. Loved the show! Loved both of your work.
Serj "Talking voice" Is very different of his "Singing Voice"
It always has been =D
Mister Bork no joke huh
Mister Bork The guy got like 7 different voices
Totally
it's not if you listen carefully
We need more people like serj in this world
Yes! Yes, we do!

I laughed for 3 minutes straight
old comment... but, no matter how many times i hear that, i have to pause to laugh it out
that part cracked me up
Me when i try to act like i didnt get my feelings hurt
What a performance.
Someone should go outside of Serj's house in the morning so that when he asks for guidance, they can yell MAKE A NEW SYSTEM ALBUM.
I'll be that person 😂 I just need his address
Nice
I thought someone was gonna make an Innervision refermce. But NOPE! Lmao
The best comment ever
CZsWorld One of you must have done it because now we’re getting a new album

Lol he was wasn't he in hollywood
He could be leader of the UN though

the manga was better though

Serj for president!
Serj is so fantastic. I love his thought on artists not being able to take full credit for their art. its true, it is beyond us.
Serj is a great, great man. His mindset is what this whole world needs.
Who knew these 2 were so philosophical! Great interview.
Most people who listen to Serj and his bands are well awae
egveryoene
Such a bittersweet watch in 2023, love this series, and when there was space and time to ponder the BIG questions about humanity in a fun way.
this guy is so down to earth i love him
Serj is a pretty cool guy he is very humble and cares about the world around him.
3:23 i love how serjs smile just gets destroyed
I love Serj’s voice so much and I love his ideas. I agree with him about a lot of what he says
Serj is god, he has such a peaceful mind and he's so chill! Would like to have him as a president, he would just solve the problems easily because of the person he is. Amazing human being!! Love you man
Teen depression/suicide. We get so much drug and alcohol awareness and sex education, but nobody knows how to deal with a friend who cuts himself.
Definitely, I've had so many suicidal friends that I've wished I could help.
I know I am a few years late, but hope you are all doing better. Struggled with depression for many years, fine now. Adults need to take this seriously.
I freaking love serj
everyone does

imagine your just driving casually and you see serj walking down the street 😂
*I wouldn’t be surprised given that he’s telepathic, homosexual, and can teleport. I suspiciously run into a lot of gay men.*
@@earlaweese I CANT STAND YOU, WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE CALLING SERJ GAY
2:30 He makes a good point here. I would say this same thing applies to pretty much everything. Every breath is a gift that comes from somewhere beyond our control
So this is what Dwight does in his spare time!
Elijah Vandever he also runs a beet farm
He picks up kids
1:02 Tugging on Serj's beard is a honor that barely anyone has gotten to do, i would love to do it, everyone would love to do it, but it's hard man.
for someone who has an amazing voice when it comes to rock serj is a very nice man
Melvin Gonzalez
I fail to see any connection.
A member of soad?
No, I mean the fact that a person`s voice would have any connection to his `niceness` :)
The most confusing comment of the year right there
Raising consciousness on the simplest levels. Like getting more people to just sit and be w/ their thoughts. This plants seeds of awareness
Rainn, you have such a genuine and enriching energy. Thank you for making this show and sharing it with us. I feel like my life is better after having watched this.
o_o Serj is just an all around great guy..
rainn and serj together? this is freaking awesome!!
this was fantastic. i love the tax idea. i love serj. and i love rainn. i love this. love.
"The collective unconscious has an art-wing"... i LOVE it !
I agree with Serj about the importance of justice and freedom for everyone. I would love to see all people, young and old, fighting and standing up for those who are trapped in human trafficking.

Serj Tankian for President of planet Earth 2016!!!!!!
YES!
James M ... and look where we are now
James M trump won

He can't be president since he was born in Lebanon.

Your music is a relief from the meaningless crappy music that us teenagers are spammed with, keep singing and keep making change!
how old are you now
Serj is my favorite human being thus far.
I found this episode to be the most profound to me. I relate with every answer he said!
I love you Serj! You have put out so much music, and every time I hear one of your songs every time it brings me to my knees! "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" always wanted ask; sounds a lot like "buying a halo"?
vowels of the world 'liberalization' I think

Saw Serj playing a gig in Birmingham in the UK back in 2009. He’s a really great live act and had the place jumping from start to finish.
