Who are the guys from System Of a Down?
I always hear their music on the radio and tv, but i have never once seen them interviewed or heard them talk. They write really original sounding music and get a ton of airplay which is why its strange to not see them in person. Its' hard to tell where the members are from because they all look like freaks, the lead singer looks like he might be from the middle east or somethign. Anyone know anything about these guys?

[Album review with some biographical info]
System Of A Down: Serj Tankian (vocals, keyboards): Daron Malakian (guitar, background vocals); Shavo Odadjian (bass); John Dolmayan (drums).Additional personnel: Rick Rubin (piano); Arto Tuncboyaciyan (background vocals).Producers: David Schiffman, Greg Collins, Darren Morr.Engineers: Rick Rubin, Daron Malakian, Serj Tankian.Recorded at Cello Studios, Hollywood, California."Chop Suey!" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.While System of a down are often cast with the nu-metal crowd, their sound is closer to '80s thrash (and even hardcore punk) than to any of the rap-metal hordes. Grinding guitars and death-knell drums may be the order of the day, but they work in service of a highly developed socio-political consciousness. In fact, when he's not lacerating his vocal cords, singer Tankian delivers his rebellious lyrics in a tone reminiscent of infamous Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra. Make no mistake, the thrash quotient on TOXICITY is high enough to satiate even the hungriest headbanger, but System of a Down understands the power of dynamics, often moving from a whisper to a scream over the course of the album (though they obviously spend far more time on the scream end of the spectrum). Additionally, they deliver their eye-gouging riffs with an unerring precision that never devolves into an indistinct blur. This hard-hitting quartet knows how to deliver the hard-rock goods with grace. http://www.systemofadownonline.com/biography.htm |
They're Armenians from here in LA. They grew up in the Hollywood area.
I've seen them twice live and they put on a high energy show! Here are some famous Armenians...some of these are for fun .ie. Lando Calrissian from Star Wars rotfl but most are real. http://www.cilicia.com/armo22.html |
Song identify: System of a Down's new song on radio??
I can't recall any lyrics. Just know it sounded pretty good.
I believe it just started getting air play on the radio. ...also, feel free to put down any of their other songs that are good. Thanks! |
They've been playing Ariels. That is the newest song. They've also played Toxicity and Chop Suey.
