Serj Tankian is a Grammy-award-winning artist best known for being the frontman of System Of A Down. His powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics helped the group achieve wild success, including over 40 million records sold worldwide, multiple platinum albums, more than a billion RU-vid plays, and multiple Grammy nominations (winning Best Hard Rock Performance in 2006 for "B.Y.O.B."). Beyond System Of A Down, Tankian has released five solo albums (Elect the Dead, Imperfect Harmonies, Harakiri, Orca, Jazz-Iz-Christ, and Elasticity), composed music for film and television (Body of Lies, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields, among many more), and been a prominent activist for human rights, environmental issues, and causes related to his Armenian heritage (In 2011, he was awarded the Armenian Prime Minister's Medal for his significant contributions to the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide). His book Down with the System: A Memoir (of Sorts)-which shares his extraordinary life story, from his childhood in war-torn Beirut and his family’s move to Los Angeles, to his decision to pursue music and his rise to fame as the lead singer of System-is out now!

Daron and Serj have the best harmonization of all time, man. I miss the fuck out of that. It was pure ecstasy. System of a down is timeless.

Master? Master of what exactly?

@bobbytassone7533 17 дней назад

@@MidExpanse imho he is a master of many disciplines. Most important of which is life. I believe humans are inherently artists. He literally wrote the book on creativity, an artists lifeblood. And if you can’t acknowledge he is a master at producing music I can’t help you, but wish you well.

As an Armenian this one hit a bit different for me. My great grandparents came to America in the early 1900s and had my Grandpa, lost 2 of their daughters over there, felt very relatable to hear his family’s story. He's passed now but I can remember him talking on the phone in Armenian and the pictures of family that were affected by the earthquake, hearing him discuss it brought back lots of early memories for me.

hands down the best serj interview available. thanks Rick you did it again.

@dkarahtee5340 15 дней назад

I met serj the morning of the free Hollywood show. By the Roosevelt hotel. It was at the parking lot across the street. Me and my 2 buddies saw him leaving via his SUV and waved him down. He was awesome, friendly. Then when he tried to leave, the guy couldn't give him change so we paid for Serjs parking! He gave us wristbands and we spent half the day having no idea what they were for. I've wanted to talk to him about that for 20 years because I had such a a different perspective being down on the ground the whole day. It often gets buried with the 9/11 and his oil essay. Maybe this is my chance! Serj! Or anyone who knows him or can reach him. If you read this and remember us, please let me know! I have my own wild tale from that day!

He's a vocalist. He hasn't played a lick of music on any of the soad records. He's isn't a musician.

@t045tSKT 12 дней назад

@alistairmaleficent8776 serj is overrated and wouldn't be famous if it wasn't for Daron writing his lyrics and harmonizing with him. It's why his solo record was trash. Serj isn't an artist. Daron is the artist. Daron is God. Fuck serj! Also, Rick rubin is the single most overrated producer in the world. The guy is only famous because he was in the right dorm room at the right time. He's single handedly responsible for the loudness wars and knows nothing about audio fidelity. My guy gets hired to produce and just sleeps the entire time. Do better, know more about the people you worship. They're both hacks and it's sad you think it's dumb that I'm pointing it out.

@@jake975 he plays live, but he's never played an instrument on a system album. Daron plays it all.

i did not realize how absolutely incredible Rick is with guiding an interview as one of the best conversational and comfortable flows anyone has ever done. Im floored at how amazing of a journalist this man has inside him.

Thank you gentlemen for allowing us into this collective space of good energy. 🫂 Rick, you've become the voice that guides me through the dark. When I seek guidance, it's your soft tone that enters in like a tranquil breeze and reminds me to slow down and exhale.

@t045tSKT 12 дней назад

Wtf? Why are you on ricks nuts like that? The dude is the most overrated producer ever. He's single handedly responsible for the loudness wars and knows nothing about audio fidelity. When he's tapped to "produce" a record, he does nothing but sleep. Kid, you've put your cards into the wrong deck sucking off rick like that. Shows you know absolutely nothing about music producing.

Man I love System and this conversation is so Amazing! being Cuban, I feel so much the lack of electricity and the hunger, it's still going on in Cuba since the 90's hasn't gotten any better, the average age of a prostitute has dropped from 35 to 12 years old! it's so sad, wish we had a System like band to talk about it, closest thing I think we have is Gran Hechicero but nobody really knows him, he's amazing though, I'll get a link if anyone is curious ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qJpGCoZ4dts.htmlsi=dOrAqIHzxpw-Xg4q CC is English!

Anyone have any additional info on the last person he mentions who he said was life changing for him in transcendental meditation? I think he said Nancy De Harrah, but I’m searching for that name online and not finding anything. Could be the person has no online presence or maybe the name is wrong. Serj and Rick both spoke extremely high of her so wanted to see if I could find any video or audio from her.

@GospelofWill 14 дней назад

I believe I found the person. Nancy Cooke de Herrera
