I'm incredibly impressed with this interviewer. He clearly cares and def did his homework.
Of course it's Graham
Serj likes these type of interviewers
Ah you're new to Graham? Welcome! He's the bee's goddamned knees!
@@travisnorman any other interview recommendations from him?
@@ryanmuck His interview with Nergal of Behemoth was really, REALLY good. ua-cam.com/video/Wd37E_AeoCE/v-deo.html
It's so weird how calming Tankian's voice is for such a heavy metal singer
Serj Tankian will from now on be added to my list of genuine people.
This interviewer knows how to take interviews. I mean he survived all the interviews with Corey Taylor, this already speaks for him!
Nevermind Corey. He survived Anselmo twice!
What was so wrong with coreys interview??
Nah, Corey's a sweetie ;)
@@art3mis107 he had a collapsed lung! He was so looking forward to meeting corey but he was in soooo much pain.
@@matacorpse5762 oh damn, didnt know
serj’s smile makes me immediately smile, regardless.
ME TOO. And he’s so attractive

Let's gooooo Serj Tankian on Loudwire
Seeing Serj Light Up At The Depth Of Graham’s Questions Is Awesome, I Can Only Imagine How Much Time Went Into Preparing To Interview Such A Passionate Artist As Serj.
He crushed it. I would've crumbled.
"Hi, I like cheese, do you?" lol
@@BrokeAtBestMusic What a splendid pie! Pizza Pizza Pie!
serj tankian, mikael akerfeldt, and joe duplantier all talk really well-mannered and elegantly, but on stage they turn into monsters, i love it
this guy only cries when angels deserve to.... DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE
God damnit it reminds me of that one rage meme. Where serj's face being really drawn very poorly and made me laugh. Damn it.
@@earlninoagustin8176 LMAO
YOU WANTED TO
😂
Graham has evolved to be one of the best artist interviewer/journalist in the gane EVER. He has gotten so good at every aspect of his job.
Do I see a serj wikipedia fact or fiction?
Amen, bro
I really hope, i been waiting for it for 3-4 years now
The political BS he talks about is fiction.
Lmao same as i thought
@@ca4129 ?
When I have something to say its usually about 2 minutes.
Yea 😂😂😂
😂 but you are not a rockstar so there’s that. Excellent comment tho so true
@@patrickreichert1442 Well it's really not about being a rockstar or not, and more about the context itself
Serj is so sweet 😭 I feel like it would be awesome to have a casual conversation with him!
Can we all acknowledge how much Graham has blossomed as an interviwer? It's amazing looking back at past interviews, and seeing him now and how much he's progressed.
Graham. Cheers to you Sir.
When Serj smiles it warms my heart!
Ghram is always on top of interviews with musicians. Easily one of the best to do it. Some stand out favorites, Ville Valo, John 5, Tobias forge & many many others. Now this. Such a raw and real conversation with two great people showing respect. Serj is the man!!
Serj honestly has been a voice of our generation if we think about it when it comes with music wise. System of a Down has been around since mid 90s and became huge in the 2000’s with their sound that no one has done before and their lyrics. Thank you serj and of course the rest of SOAD 🤘
Been a fan since ‘05
Well, Mindless Self Indulgence comes close, or if not are better
I have a lot of respect for serj every time he talks, he talks truth
As he has serj as his pfp on youtube i respect that
Yes
He is a nazi, did you know what did he Said about Turkish people?
@@merts7357
Sure whatever
@@merts7357 cant be worse than what hitler did
The amount of times that Serj says "Good question" is absolute proof that this interviewer respects those he interviews. Great interview, well done on both sides.
On the point of trusting information I'd like to add that everyone has a political bias and some verified sources are just propaganda for wealthy powerful people, so pay attention to a variety of sources from all political spectrums. Conservatives, liberals, moderates, libertarians, anarchist, get as many view points as possible because it will give you a better understanding of the issues and the arguments.
Truth
Nowadays 99.9 percent is propaganda.
I did NOT expect Serj to sound like that. He's rather soft-spoken when he's not singing.
Graham's question's sensibility often extends beyond an excited fanboy queries
His singing voice is awesome, His talking voice sounds like a Text to Speech Robot
Tbh his microphone is pretty bad
Been so long since I've seen him, but he makes it seem as if he's always there when he finally does show himself
I’m sorry to all the other commenters but SOAD is over. And that’s okay. Serj is doing so much good with his career, and the other former members of SOAD are doing awesome things as well. The freedom from being in the band truly seems to be good for all four of them- I mean, they broke up for a reason. Serj’s solo projects and his activism really inspired me in my own life and I’m very grateful for that.
They never officially broke up though. They have been playing live all this time.
I mean i'm completely fine with them just playing live sometimes and then doing their own stuff too.
@@metalhead6783 same, I could do without new music if I got the chance to see them live again.
Don’t say that. No band will ever be “over” just simply not making music anymore or whatever. Especially Soad’s music will live forever and their music speaks louder now more than ever
This is the best serj interview I've ever seen. Those questions were amazing, Graham!
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,One that smiled when he flew over the bay.
Let's get daron on here
100% agree
He might try to bring him here when he release his next DMSOB album (which i hope comes soon)
this just doesn't seem like something he'd do. I love to see it though
@@zaynekvam9404 sadly i think you are right tho. Even tho daron did alot for system i think hes a little underrated sadly.
Fellatio?
This was really soothing... Thanks for the interview.
Finally Loudwire is feeling how it should again
Dont jinx it please!
I love seeing Serj soo happy.
Serj is a very down to earth and fantastic human being. Great interview to listen to
harakiri is serjs best song dare i say up there net to some of soad's best songs and im totally diggin his new stuff.His solo work, scars, of and system these men just continue to write top notch great music. Thank you serj, daron, shavo, and john.
I love your music serj And what you stand for God bless you I' am A KWATSAN NATIVE American From Winterhaven CA God bless
Fantastic interview and video loudwire!
Just echoing comments congratulating Graham for his skill in researching & conducting this interview. Handled with absolute grace, excellent job ❤
Love Serj’s work so much 🖤
As we expected great interview graham.
I love that Graham isn't afraid or ashamed to let the artists he interviews know what their work means to him personally. The best interviewers walk that fine line between fan and reporter. We need more humanity like that by public figures in general.
Love the Lament configuration on the shelf!
his smile makes me so happy man
Serj!!!!
that’s him alright
I'm so jealous. Soad and his solo work have been one of the biggest influences that have made me the man I am today. I'm forever grateful for the inspiration that pushed me into becoming a metal guitarist and drummer!
Serj reminds me of my grandpa RIP god have mercy on him
awesome music serj, thank you very much! love the music, love the message! gives me hope
Props to Graham for the excellent questions, very good interview.
Brilliant content- sharing!
We love Serj
Love this !
Honestly, the only thing i was expecting of this video was for Serj to say SOAD was getting back together and releasing a new album.
Never happening fool
Never happening fool
Well damn...I came here to say the same thing "never guna happen" but wasn't guna be a dick about it...calling someone a "fool" just because they want something to happen (no matter how unlikely) is uncalled for...would be cool but at this point I'd rather remember them as the amazing band they where then show up to an epic fail...take all the people who are wishing for a pantera reunion (well tribute would be the more respectful thing to call it) watch phil and the illegals do there "a vulgar display of pantera" on the slayer retirement tour...fucking horrible... imagine going to that to remember dime and vinny just to be smacked by that atrocity... system of a down was definitely amazing but let them go out on top that's all I mean
@@JustMe-cl6fj fool....jk
@@JustMe-cl6fj I mean, they did release material less than a year ago. They literally DID get back together. Nothing is saying that can't happen again.
You know this is the first interview ive seen of serj and i never did picture him being a so humble and so lax kind of human its truly nice to know that growing up i made a great decision listening to him as well as soad
Great interview. We need many more Serj's in the world. Interviewer was awesome not asking any DUMB questions.
Best concert i've ever been to.
SOAD with Mars Volta opening.
Graham I just love how you do your job! You as well are an artist mate... Serj is always great as well. Great interview. Cheers!
Great interview great questions
I was so young when the song choop suey came out
Ok
Ok
Ok
Ok
Ok
Very good and articulate questions, well done mr. Interviewer
awesome interview!
Really great interview 🖤
Great job again, Graham, you really know how to conduct the interview. Please bring Daron next?
LOUDWIRE = THE GREATEST EXTREME MUSIC Mag ✊🏼
SENSEI SERJ TANKIAN = A VOICE for all the VOICELESS ✊🏼✨🌎🏴
Great interview!
I remember when I went to see them perform late October in 2001. A little over a month that 9/11 happened. Everything at that time seemed so "unsure" since the attack on our America. I actually got backstage with my sister and girlfriend of ours. It was an awesome time and I found him to be so intelligent with alot of depth. We shared alot of the same world views. I'll never forget meeting him and the other cool band mates. His activism shows how truly passionate he is to the injustices that has happened and IS happening in this world. I was never offended when he said he believed that there may have been more to the attack on 9/11. I'll leave it at that. We need more people like him in this world. Genuine, passionate, truthful, and outspoken.
Нихрена не понимаю, но безумно рад увидеть Сержа!!!
Engl.
Pls.
@@martinkorn2668 He is don't understand anything, but glad to see Serj.
@@boriska8730 aha thx.;-)
Best content ever uploaded by Loudwire, imo... and there have been some truly great ones, so that's saying a lot.
I love serj. Such a good dude.
I wish i had this footage of Serj to show elders around me when i was a kid. Not even the events necessarily, but just him and his intelligence, views on the world, self and being aware. Even his mannerism and how he speaks.
Very great interview
Serj is literally one of the coolest people in my opinion. I would like to meet him some day I really like system of a down it really is such a damn shame that the band doesn't see eye to eye with the future of soad it kinda reminds me of the disastrous break up of oasis. despite a break up I still listen to oasis and I haven't heard soad in like a long time anyways good day cya
serj is so respectful
Great interview.
graham well done chap! Serj thank you!
Drop an album dawg
We demand a Serj Fact or Fiction!
Great interview Graham.
This interviewer is amazing! Really great questions!
And go watch Truth to Power! Amazing view into Serj's career.
Lord Serj, grace us with your wisdom.
as far as I am concerned you create musical magic.. ahead of your times.
We want SOAD back
Never
Sorry but it's never happening
@@xxrandom_userxx9994 I’ve convinced myself it’s never happening
The elasticity record is a clear sign of "sorry we didnt make it"
I made a song called Bazooka, inspired by them. It's like a dollar store version, but check it out!
Everyone on here thinking they were getting back together n at, it's been said several times, the direction they want to go is why they haven't gotten back. THIS topic, is more important to THEM, THEIR passion, in what actually brings them (SOAD) together. I much prefer this insight, because it's what inspires them to be vocal about change, oppression, hypocrisy, the bs, in their art.
Our planet holds everything. We need to respect it .we must change our ways of living .Thank you for your songs And your values.❤️
Everyone respects it except those in China. China is the biggest threat to mankind and nobody cares. Everyone's Brainwashed.
Ayeeeeeeeee 🤘🏻
What is....a rapper's favorite letter?
most underrated interview ever
I can’t seem to find where to watch the Truth to Power doc. Anyone know?
Graham - Serj Have a Wonderful day !
Words of wisdom ! ! !
💚👍 😉 💙
Aaaaaahhhh . . .
I'm not worthy ! ! !
😆😆😆
What a wholesome guy
Pogopogopogopogopogo
What an extremely Pleasant intelligent MAN......I'm HÊĻĹÅ inspired!
I'm glad System of a Down that is making meusic again🤘
Seeing Serj react in the first minute tells a lot.
What a gem
As soon as I saw that Serj has something to say, I literally dropped everything to listen. He is such a great person and everything he says is the absolute truth. We need more people like him.
Kind of hard to take this interview seriously considering he has a gardener. "Should I tell him to stop?" LOL
you expect a revolutionary to prune his own hedges?! AIN'T GOT THE TIME, there's a world that needs savin' out there somewhere! lol
@@jetboy_ virtue signaling is a hell of a drug. ;)
He's putting money in a gardener's pocket.
@@gabekortez4062 I hear ya, it is just ironic. I find it amusing.
I think S M would like to speak to the manager......lol
The hardest rockers are always the nicest guys!
❤
Man who not lies most respected man on earth
Love that guy!
serj tankian always has something to say so i love the title
If it wasn't for SOAD and Serj. I never would have known about the genocide in Armenia. It's super important for those with the power of many followers and fans to speak up about injustices to help school those who aren't aware.
And those in America love the young turks when in reality most leftists are terrorists.
Katah Dynastao. You guys rock !!!
I'm not lateeee
Graham is a legit badass interviewer!
