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 KZfaq 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.

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 😍👍

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.

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.
