"I want a bigger couch" Serj Tankian-2010

That's the dream, Serj. Aren't we all always wanting a bigger couch?

Is it me or do you often find very intense musicians or singers with powerful voices that are actually fairly quiet and calm in day to day life and interviews?

It's the whole myth of metal, it's because you do aggressive and fast pace music that you are violent and quick tempered. Also singing in a metal band is quite "therapeutic" on many level. Mainly it drains your energy, you tend to sound and look like a different in real life than on stage.

Such an awesome down to Earth guy for someone who sings such heavy lyrics. Serj is the man!

Another guy similar to Serj is David Dramain of Disturbed. Makes heavy lyrics but if you watch interviews he actually is a very calm and wise person

"The muse is always there. It always comes in my case. As long as I have the time to be open to receiving it." Serj Tankian 3:23

Daron's guitar is in that wall. Guess he gave it to serj.

Pretty sure they're Johns drums from the chop suey video too.

Studio of a down

Wow, Serj has a lot of great music materials.

So Serj literally sits behind empty walls.

He was the lead singer for System Of A Down! He has done 3 solo projects since then. 1. Elect The Dead 2. Imperfect Harmonies 3. Harakiri In my honest opinion I feel Serj is better as a solo artist where he is free to be himself!

Wow, Serj's talking voice sounds so different from his singing voice

best voice everrr, Serj is my inspiration! thank you serj

Ugh. I love, love, lovvveee system of a down!!

I find it funny how he says "this is a great place for creation....so when I destroyed the place..." hahahahha

Look at this guy now, happy for him. Talent takes you places

fantastic interview, he not only breaks down gear but also techniques. serj seems really smart

Serj Tankian should be named one of the worlds best composer! Thumps up if you agree!!

Keep up the awesome work Habibi.

It's great to see Serj Tankian talk outside of his songs and poetry. I never heard him talk "normally" on any other videos.

excellent video and very inspiring!

Serj ♥

LEGEND!!

This is life!

amazing voice

Awk i love you Serj!!!!! :)

Love the fact that Serj is rocking an MF350 in his studio... I still have an old ad with Darin laying across a couple half stacks with an iceman, nice.

Serj Is My Muse... I have been told I sound exactly like him when i sing S.O.A.D. for my band I would love to meet him and sing With him or Along Side of Him...

this guy is so awesome

este tipo es un genio ♡

Glad to see somebody I respect utilizing a Marshall mode four. I used to really regret getting that over a jcm.

He's a very well spoken individual.

Awesome, I spent most of today mixing behind the same model of desk.

good talk nice to hear ... soo practical guy.. he look advance and cool voice.. Serj Rock

don't u just love how serj is a very simple man and how he speared a natural happiness to ppl around him ? :)

Legend of the highest order.

Serj is just so fucking awesome.

Still waiting for the new System album Serj!

This dude lives in my dream house!

I'd kill for that room!

EPIC Cinema Display!

Genious.

serj is a genius.

Good for him. I do basically the same thing and upload it here. I don't care if people DL it, they sound rough in FLV compared to WAV. After Michael Wagener tour, this was recommended. Heat it up.

I love the Genelec speakers.

almost 10 years ago. dam

He sure is!

That "composer site for film makers" he mentioned seems like an interesting, out-of-the-box way to store and categorize music.

good question

Write a fucking album!!!!

I adore you Serj T.lease come to Philly

What a fire hazard. Still big fan haha

nice.

'I like to use logic and reason'

what he said about the muse was so true, i wrote two songs when my internet was down once haha

Wonder how much hard drive space he has there.

@kingfullmetal the didnt go on the hiatus because they got on eachothers nerves they just wanted to do solo things for a while. Theyre still all best friends and they hang out all the time.

@1:34 Armenian flag as the background picture of the pc screens

actually Serj is very good, he has opera training as a background for singing

5:43--The tracks are not genre specific but they're divided by you know like action or horror or that more a film genre classification, so its easier for me to find if I'm looking for a vibe of a song..." -- Serj Tankian

1:04 nicceeeee I wonder if Daron was there (His guitar on the left)

Whats that big white keyboard in the background. Thought it was a M3 since the console looks like a M3 Radius console but the keyboard itself looks like a Motif.

ima keep downloading on torrent

yea am crazy like that.

I want to put my Apple Cinema Display on an articulated arm like his! I've actually been contemplating it for a year or two but hadn't really found a solution.

Anybody know the model of the Marshall head seen at the top right of the screen 4:23?? I've been looking for that model for a long time.

wow o.O first time hearing his voice :/

1:09 Daron's Ibanez Iceman.

Think about it.

Real patriot. His desktop.

There is a god in his voice
