I was a little kid in Brazil who just loved System of a Down. One day I asked my aunt, who had access to a computer at the time, to print for me a translation of some System of a Down song. The translation she brought home was "Needles". Imagine that lyrics printed on a paper with no context, no song, no rhymes. Jus sheer and raw meaning.

The interviewer sounds like she thinks she's talking to three year old kids.

i think she doesn't talk down to the guys but instead, with this kind of voice and approach, makes herself seem an oblivious yet curious person, who they would want to explain things more in detail

"We can't copy ourselves, so nobody can copy us" i LOVE that!!

I love how Daron says he doesnt feel involved in Nu Metal. But yet they are like the Nu Metal fucking gods lmao

because thats not how they view themselves and that's not what they aspired to be. if you called them nu metal legends, they didnt care, they just wanted to write songs and perform. its the fans that use words like that, it doesnt reflect the band.

I don't see them as Nu Metal either. And time has proven it. Nu metal is a dated. SOAD is timeless.

​@@oui2611 well, yeh, most bands don't say "we're trying to be a [genre] album!" That doesn't mean they don't fit into a genre. I agree SOAD isn't really nu metal but them not trying to be nu metal isn't an argument that they're not.

you could call them nu-metal, you could call them a lot of things but they werent trying to be any particular style so they kinda js made their own genre lolol

We definitely didn't want to do a double album. Cut to Hypnotize/Mesmerize

When they wrote 30 songs it was too much for one album. Hence steal this album. Then they did the same with mezmerize/hypnotize so..

This looks like a home video filmed by a mom for a recital lmao

just 3 days before 9/11 ...i was 12 then and i learned about them 1 year later ..they really changed everything in my adolescence.. its cool to see them as an adult ...they sure deserved the attention of the musical world.

i just love listening to them talk

At 13:05 Serj Tankian starts powering up.

I remember watching this video 12 years ago and commenting about how at some point in the vid when Serj starts talking the room gets brighter. Wow how time fly's.

some great things were said in this interview. thanks for the upload.

Anyone hears "mandatory minimum sentences" the way he says it in Prison?

Doctor:You have 30 minutes to live Me:Oh okay I know what to do *Watches video* ~ 30 minutes later ~ Me:OH NO THERE'S STILL 8 MINUTES AND 37 SECONDS LEFT~

Serj is soo hot, I'm so in love !

Daron too. He's so cute in this interview

I was a year out of highschool when this interview happened, in my own band and loving everything about the microclimate music scene I was in. Toxicity made me look twice (more than twice 😉) at what was going on in mainstream heavy music. It changed so much about how I saw things. Today, I revisit these thoughts because I now have grown sons who have Toxicity, every track, on repreat in every room of the house, for like 4 months straight lol. Breaking only now and then for some Power Wolf here and there lol. And when they're not doing that, they're playing the songs on their instruments, shit - they even play them on my instruments; leaving guitars out of cases in an old house with no humidity control (damn teenagers...😂). Its crazy to think about time this way. How cyclical some things are. This album seems to resonate with so many people across all the following generations. Time is an interesting concept to contemplate. Sad though that a lot of their songs are still so relevant in the world.

DARON! YUMMM!

Omg I'm so happy, thank you for uploading this!

I love the way they look at each other here 1:39

Thanks for sharing this...

Thank you for uploading :) x

I love this interview

Hopefully someday some concert footage from the making of the video for Chop Suey! will surface. I'd really like to hear Daron sing Whitney Houston. XD

both are very very creative in telling the truth through their music. there fuckin awesome!

This is a great interview

This an interview when they were still Bert respectful of one another and they were interested in working together. They were trying to define their places in contributing to the band

I love you serj: te amo serj je saludos desde chile

I fucking love these guys

Serj : Well, Daron writes most of the music, and he arranges it, and brings it to us. And ge also writes a lot of the lyrics. Reporter: So, it's a collaboration. ..... Huh? Lol

I WRITE THE SONGS, EVERYBODY SHUT UP

2:20 the beard rub is a nervous tell. I do it when I'm nervous ;)

THANK YOU FOR THE WORLD SO SWEET THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD WE EAT, THANK YOU FOR THE BIRDS THAT SING, THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING, AND GOD BLESS AUNT PAM AND UNCLE BOB AND HUGGER TOO. AND MEME

i want the rest of the songs!

That's because they tend to be intelligent people with common sense and a distinctive need to deliver meaningful messages (at least the succesful artists) instead of ordinary pop crap (partying, shallow feelings, baby baby baby oooooh, and so on...)

Make music. Serj is doing solo stuff and Daron has another band called Scars on Broadway. You should check them both out. In my opinion Scars sounds more like traditional System music since it's all written by Daron, who wrote System music.
