- Serj Tankian, born in Beirut in 1967, and Daron Malakian, born in Los Angeles in 1975 would end up forming a band together. Whilst they had both attended The Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School during their formative years, due to their age difference they didn’t meet until the early 90s, when they would become friends after realising they were working on separate musical projects in the same rehearsal studios.
Malakian on the other hand, was born in America. And whilst his parents emigrated to the US before he was born, he kept a firm grip on his Armenian roots due to his attendance at an Armenian school in the Los Angeles area.
Malakian was introduced to music from an early age and started collecting records when he was just 4 years old. And he once citied The Beatles and Slayer as being two of his favourite bands. With Reign In Blood being his favourite record.

Can you do a video about Warren Zevon? I’d love to hear your take on his music, the influence he’s had on the music industry and why he’s being denied entry to the rock and roll hall of fame. Not that that’s a bad thing it’s kind of a joke anyway
The record label did not disapprove of the title 'Suicide'. That's as made up as Serj having a classically trained voice. Daron confirmed it was their choice to change the title of the song to 'Chop-Suey' because the original title was just lazy and they didn't want to give the radio stations a reason not to play their new single.
@@trueform2348 Then Shavo and Daron have two very different versions of what happened with that title. Shavo has stated in numerous interviews, as recently as 2020, it was an issue with the record label. So if it's made up then it's made up by Shavo, I don't make things up, I take information from what an artist has said.
Just came across your channel.
I absolutely love it. TYVM for the content and all you do.
@Merciless Martion you’ll be a Zevon addict by the end of the day. If you want a treasure trove of rare Zevon records hit me up
As an Armenian growing up I was so surprised to see how much of the hispanic community in California loved SOAD. I saw none stop SOAD shirts in high school back in 04-08. We exchanged so much culturally and I learned some Spanish
Que??
@@DrPhilGoode 😀😃😄😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here in NM !! We've experienced so much of the same outrage. It brings us together no matter what shade
Same in Texas, it seems. All the people who wore SOAD shirts were Hispanic. My friend that I would jam with was Hispanic, we would tune down to drop C and play through all the SOAD albums (SOAD, Toxicity and Steal this Album).
Lot of Hispanics can share sentiment with Armenians given their situations are often the same
My grandmother watched her parents get slaughtered by the Turks when she was 4. Some lady took pity on her and saved her. She spoke to me in Armenian while I was growing up and I loved her very much. Her name was Bayzar Sarkissian and I get choked up when I think about what she had to endure as a child. We the people, should never again allow the atrocities that took place in the past to happen again. Thanks for the video.
💛🖤🍺⚡🍺🖤💛
Never forget the genocide of 1915 🇬🇷❤️🇦🇲❤️⬜️🟥🟦
So much love to you and your family 💞
This is the genocide that The Young Turks have a history of denying.
My great grandparents escaped Armenia as well. Both my grandfather and grandmother were Armenian born here. But both sets of their parents watched and lost their parents. A horrible atrocity. Alot of Armenians still have hate and resentment for Turkish people. But all the Turks that did these atrocities are dead. I just wish they'd acknowledge what happened.
I remember getting their first CD when I was 14 and when my mom heard the line “when angels deserve to die” she took it out the player and threw it out the window as we were driving saying “I didn’t need to hear that satanic stuff”. Just made me want to hear it more and think it was even cooler lol
hahaha
L mom
Some parents really did overreact to every lyric without understanding what the band was referring to just because they hear something that sounds even remotely blasphemous on a superficial level.
@@teni713 my mom hates what I listen to she says I don’t need this satanic stuff in my house, luckily my dad is just as big of a fan that I am. Chop Suey! He used to always play to wake me up for school 😂
That's the second CD man :)
It's crazy how the stars aline to create these massive bands
Aline?
They sold their souls

System of A Down is one of the greatest groups I have ever heard. My 77 year old mother even appreciates them. it's what they say, and they present their truths is what resonates with us.
I saw these guys with Slipknot, Mudvayne and American head change on the pledge of allegiance tour and I'll tell you what, these guys sounded INCREDIBLE, CD quality. Their live sound was exactly the sound from the studio..... It absolutely blew me away.
I just wish they would sort out their differences and release new music again, the world is a darker place without system of a down.
Take care of each other,
~Jonny5🥁
I wish I could have seen that show. Never seen System live. Saw American Head Charge when they released the Shoot album idk 10 years or so ago... Just saw Slipknot in May though they were awesome it sucks that the whole Ukrainian war broke out Jinjer was supposed to be there.
I saw them in the Pledge of Allegiance tour too, back in 2001! IIRC Rammstein was also part of the lineup ❤
Great work, as always.
No other band sounds like SOAD. Each musician in that band is great at what he does. Daron is one of my favourite guitarists ever.
He's really underrated as a guitarist!
Definitely correct when you say that no other band sounds like SOAD.
While he's not known for his soloing, Daron stands *_head and shoulders above_* many/most when it comes to songwriting and riff-crafting.
I hate when they are labeled nu metal. If so best nu metal band ever.
Scars on Broadway and most of Serj's solo work is amazing. To the point that them not getting back together isn't quite as devastating. That being stated, thank you for the subtle plea at the end for them to get back together, because we all know that it would be amazing.
I was the bassist in a SOAD tribute band in the LA area called Toxicity until I moved to TX a few years ago. My buddies are still playing shows. Needless to say I am a huge fan of the band and would like to thank you for uploading this awesome video 🤘🏼
Now you can start another SOAD cover band called “Texicity”
@@JakeNolen Texicity is perfect lol. The only bad thing is that no one here would ever go to a show since this is a very, very right wing conservative republican area. The total opposite to SOAD's politics.
Dude nice! I saw you guys play live at Slidebar in Fullerton back in 2016! You guys were so rad!
so awesome you went! Yes, that was actually one of the last gigs I played with the band because I moved to TX later that year. It was so much fun and even though they're smaller venues, the crowds are so full of energy! Thx for coming out man! 🤘🏼
Soooo...when are you coming back to LA? Percussion here....been looking for other like energy people to jam with. Let me know when you do! 🤜🤛🏾
Shavo is one of my favorite musicians ever...nothing brings a band together like one of these starshine bass players that make an art of bass. Not to mention...SOAD is one of those Voltron bands that each member brings something truly amazing to the table.
Not only that but the guy is just a workaholic too. Started as the manager, became the bass player, major contributions to songwriting, as well as stage and light design. And he doesn't ask for any recognition, just loves what he does.
I mean primus is a band based around the bass player you just don’t see that like primus soad and korn
I’m so sad I wasn’t born in a time where I’d be able to watch them perform live during their peak :/
System of a down was my gateway into more extreme kinds of metal, definitely a huge influence on my musical taste
one of the greatest bands, I regret never seeing them live
They are live some where I think
I think they're back together playing
I saw them at a small club with fewer than 200 people back in summer 1999. Absolutely blew me away. I stood next to Shavo all night. It was Serj’s birthday. We ended up talking & hanging out together after the show. Great guys, amazing night, incredible band!
They’re touring right now
Kommunism is fascism
You’re documentary’s are awesome man keep up the good work i love what u do

Its amazing how he uses his music to bring the genocide to light. So many people don't even know it happened and to this day it's still hushed and unrecognized politically. Both sides of my Armenian family were devastated in the genocide, but yet we're still here! Even with the war starting again over the last two years. We're still strong!
That’s because Armenia was the most prevalent Christian countries.
Back in middle school when I first started playing guitar a friend knew I was huge system fan and she got me the self titled record for my birthday, I took it home and learned the whole album front to back. I would spend hours rewinding the recorded to find the notes. Beautiful moments like that just make me thankful this band exist. Fun songs, great songs. I'm from Los Angeles as well. Cool to know they grew up not that far from where I grew up.
For me, SOAD is one of the greatest band ever in music. Their sound is unique, their songs are in the worst case just "good", same with their albums. The four guys are pretty talented and besides their differences are still friends.
The subtleties of their origins in their music cannot be overstated. And their heavy rock chops are incontestable. Solid, everlastingly good rock band.
I’m not a heavy metal fan but a life long musician. The first time I heard them I just heard talent and loved it
I haven't seen music documentaries of this quality since Behind the Music. Thank you for this and please do more.
Narrator voice is superb. Makes the video and story simply great.
Thank you for this program very well done. Definitely going to watch more of your programing you did a wonderful job on this one.
One thing ppl don’t realize about musicians is their heavily influenced by bands of completely different genres. Dave Grohl influence for Teen Spirit was the Gap Band. He gave the Westboro Church a free concert performing The BeeGees & today I heard him rapping to Juvenile. Musicians are quite talented & intelligent individuals that make the wrong choices in life. They shouldn’t be labeled by those choices but by their talent. We are all humans
My grandmother from my mom's side was all messed up in the head She saw the brute force of the ottoman empire killing all our family members.I didn't know until I came to America from Venezuela.System of a down are one of the best TILL EYERNITY
How old are you?
Spell check often?
I’m from Taif Saudi Arabia, the Ottoman Empire has conquered our land for nearly 100 years, and the Pasha has killed 30 of our most respected elder leaders of our tribe, this is a method the ottomans did to a lot of Arabian tribes which sparked the Arabian Revolution. I really respect this band musically and politically because I can relate to the message and the exotic type of music writing

Best musical documentaries I’ve ever seen. Great background music, narration, and production. Thank you.
They sold their tickets to their Armenian church friends. The Armenians in Glendale supported each other 100%
I rehearsed next to them. Their first drummer wasn’t good. I remember hearing the album and the drums were great… I drove myself crazy wondering how the bad drummer sounded so good, so fast.
Turns out they had a new drummer.
My love for this band goes deeper then the music they produce. I have my great grandparents that survived the genocide that never talked about it because they now that there children and grandchildren will never understand the trauma that they they experienced but I I did have an uncle who was very open talking about it. He lost his parents and was severely beaten in the camps that he was in. His story was the most incredible stories I ever heard and to listen to it made me cry for all armenians that ever experience this trauma! I love my armenian brothers and sisters. Thank you system of a down for fighting for the Acknowledgment of what happened to our family's!
This channel is awesome! Got hooked and binged all the band history videos. That's proper quality production, and the voice of the - host/narrator, just dope! Looking forward to more of this content.
I came to know about your channel few days ago and so far I have watched almost all documentaries you made. The qualities of these documentaries are impeccable. It's better than Behind the Music Documentaries
Incredibly well made video, it was a pleasure to watch, thanks!
Bravo mate. This is brilliant. Thank you!
This was fantastic. I've loved this band for so long but, as always with your vids, this gave me an even greater appreciation for them.
This was awesome! Loved the video! Definitely worth the wait! Cheers! 😁🤘
I went to the Pledge of Allegiance tour in Philly back in 2001. I was 17, had just gotten my driver's license and I drove me and 4 of my nitwit friends to Philly and had one of the best and most memorable concert experiences in my life. I also went and saw Tool about a month or so later at the same arena in philly. I've been to well over a hundred concerts since but those are still two of the most memorable and important concerts in my lifetime...and they happened within a month of each other just after 9/11.
I have watched at least 4 different artist stories now including this one. Instant subscriber as these are fantastic, historic works of art. Great work putting these together! Look forward to watching more and more. BINGE! 👊🧡👍
The thing is, there are so many levels to their music. I fell in love with their music because it was so amazing. I didn't fully understand the messages behind it. But I've stayed since then and I get it a lot more understanding of it. Just so many levels.
what an amazing insight to a band i never heard of. I look forward to hearing some of the music tracks in your next history of music. RAW
This is a great documentary. On a personal level, I knew nothing about Armenian culture, let alone the horrific and deeply antihumanitarian Armenian holocaust of 1915, until I started listening to SoaD. Thanks, Serj, Daron, Shavo, and John. You have enriched my life for 25 years now, and hopefully have taught not only me, but all people who care about tolerance and peace, that we must always, always remember and resist.
Love this youtube channel! Thank you for doing all my favourite band documentaries! 👍🏻👍🏻
Nobody else sounds like them. You know who you are listening to. ❤ wish that they could overcome whatever issues are, and get it together and make more music again. I'm 57 and I loved there style
My absolute favourite band. Never got a chance to see them live I hope I will one day
Saw them live in 2005. Mars Volta opened for them and once the opening band was finished there was almost a full hour before SOAD came on stage, during which the floor crowd just pressed harder and harder towards the front. But the second they started to play I got lifted off my feet and was in a literal human ocean. They didn't stop between songs, they didn't talk to they crowd, they just blew the fucking roof off the venue. After the show I was SOAKED head to toe in sweat, mine, other peoples'...... Its still, to this day, one of the greatest shows I've ever been to.... And I've seen my share.
Man... That was a beauty of a mini documentary you've put together, gave me a shiver a one point 🤣 Getting back into metal and recently picked up a guitar after a long time (7-8 years) I've been aiming at learning SOTD tracks mainly and this really inspires me to go harder and "give my 100%". Thoroughly enjoyed, thanks 🤘🏻😜
Your videos are amazing thanks for telling the story of the bands you cover 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for this. I've been looking for a decent SOAD documentary here on YT.
I was waiting for a few days ever since I had seen the ad up, great work you man this was amazing! Great watch, thank you for sharing g
SOAD was my teenage years. Ahh the nostalgia.
my metal music awakening happned when I heard chop suey in a UK record store in 2001, I walked out with the CD single and have been playing it since. I adore SOAD. Thank you for making this documentary
Awesome documentary. Please, keep up the great work!
Love your documentaries, great editing and research. Yep 👍🏻
This band was perfect! The voice the sound the image. They gave us some amazing music and we are forever grateful!
Stumbled upon your channel, a job well done man and it’s not to long and not to short. Good timing on the breaks and overall I am hitting the subscribe button. Thanks brother
Don't listen to this music, but have learned a lot about them. Very good videos, and your voice works perfectly with them. Keep them coming, please.
Thank you for doing great documentary 👍
Amazing documentaries, keep up the good work!
Wow! Great band and great work on the documentary.
GREAT WORK, as always!!!
The Pledge of Allegiance Tour is one of my all-time favorite lineups, and all of them in their early hungry days. We got there late, about two songs before "Dig", but it's one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
My favorite SoaD show though was in SF at the Filmore. It was a guerilla tour they did, where they only released tickets a few days before the show, and you had to go buy the tickets in person, limit of 4. They play 1hr 45min straight, no opener, and out of three times I've seen them, the only time I got to hear "Spiders" live.
System has always been one of my favourite bands and Daron is the main reason why I started experimenting with heavier guitar riffs, they’ve always had such a unique sound and an interesting career
Yo this is great! I didn’t kno much about this band nor have I really listened too them. So this was super refreshing for me ! Great vid.
Awesome! Great to know people are learning something from these documentaries!
🎀Thank you for the upload, loved the documentary. 🎀
Thanks Autumn!
The best channel for music documentaries, Keep up the great job!

I looked forward to this video since you first dropped the teasers!
God damn this channel does music docs so well. It wont be long before it explodes!
Awesome stuff, keep up the great work (also love your voice)! Would be awesome for a Pantera and/or Pearl Jam documentary.
Your videos all deserve an A+.
Awesome production man!
dude,i enjoyed this so much,thanks
I was fortunate enough to see them four times from 2000-2003. Still my favorite experiences from being a young man. These guys were more than a band to me, more, a statement of our collective frustration at the regime of the time. Their music is truly a spiritual experience.🤘
AC speed has the best microphone voice ive ever heard,dude i could listen to you talking about music and bands for hours and hours. You have something that loads of speakers could only wish for,good stuff. SOAD brings back a lot of memories for me,some good some bad.
What an amazing thing to say, thank you!
@@RAWMUSICTV my pleasure.
Wow,great research and video,never knew this stuff,big fan of U and them💯🥳
I was a young dad when they came out, my son would sing the songs to the whole album
That's awesome! 🤘 sounds like my daughter with Led Zeppelin, she knows pretty much every Zep song! Cool kids rock! 🙂
Really interesting and well presented, cheers
Grew up jammin to these legends , no other band compares💎 SOAD🦍
I used to follow those dudes back in the late 90s. Went to 10 shows. They're one of the nicest and laid back guys to hang out with. They love to "enjoy life."
Your voice is a unique craft. An attention grabber for sure. This is the first video I've seen of yours, and the quality is epic. Now ill watch them all!

It’s not just the parents that had reservations about the lyrics. Kids are also smart enough to know that these lyrics catch you off-guard. And should be looked into.

I LOVE YOUR DOCUMENTARIES! I was going to request Static-X but I see you already plan to. LETS GO I CAN'T WAIT!
First time I saw them live was in Ozzfest 2006 with Disturbed, Avenge Sevenfold, Dragon Force. Amazing band, I've seen them live 3 times.
I saw SOAD and Slipknot co-headline a festival here in Australia (Soundwave)
It's an experience i'll never forget.
Love this channel
thanks you man
Thanks for doing these. Not everybody realizes the political message of System, but their stuff rocked so hard you had to pay attention
Serj Tankian is amazing ! Greetings from Finland.
I remember seeing them on the side stage of Ozzfest in Atlanta the first time it came. It grooved so hard . The antics were a bit much for me at the time but after seeing them a few more times and getting their first album, it definitely grew on me.
that was sick. you're getting that 100k plaque really soon dude!
Great content, just earned a sub!
