    Years back, I spent an afternoon at Serj’s house interviewing him for a music publication (a perk of my former job). I often get asked who the nicest artist is to work with… Serj is my first answer every time. The man was extremely kind, welcoming, and respectful. He was without a doubt, the most down-to-earth artist I had the pleasure of interviewing.

    “There’s a lot of people who have jobs that are more difficult than ours, and we appreciate them.” That’s what I’ve always loved about SOAD. They always treated their music as a hobby instead of the next artist that claims “music has always been my passion/dream”. They’re a very self aware group and it’s why they can headline any festival

      Dude's a control freak too. There's a reason why they had to beg Serj to do Mesmerize/Hypnotize. Those two albums sound the same, which is fine as a double album. But every SOAD album has a completely different sound. Now go listen to Scars on Broadway, it sounds the same. And then if you listen to their 2020 songs Protect the Land and Genocidal Humanoidz, they literally sound like something that would be on Mesmerize/Hypnotize or Scars on Broadway. That's not to say they aren't good songs, they are. But Serj doesn't like to sit on the same sound, and Daron has been in a rut for 15 years.

      @my dad beats me Surely plays a role here, but then why do the other 3 not act that way? It has a lot to do with personality and Davon is/was truly messed up in the head. I don't blame him either. We all have our reasons to be the way we are and react the way we do. There is "sticking it to the Man" though and there is "sticking it to the Man, but I see the Man in every other person I encounter and treat them badly even though they might not deserve it". Big difference.

      @my dad beats me Again the question: Why don't the other guys of the band act like that? Why doesn't everybody? Most men behaving like that is a vast over-generalization with no empiric back-up whatsoever. Most people wanting to be left alone as well. We are social creatures. We just want to be left alone, if we fall into the trap of viewing the minority of assholes in the world as the majority, because they are louder, ergo there seem to be more of them. I am not of the generation you talk about (and even if I were it wouldn't matter). I have been treated badly my fair share of times in my life, but made the conscious decision not to become like those people. The best revenge is not to become like your enemy. Doesn't mean I judge people who do become like that or view them as bad people either. Acceptance is the key to a fulfilled life. Simple thought experiment: Would the world be a better place if nobody would act like an ass? Yes. Would the world be a worse place if everybody did? Yes. Therefore every single person who chooses not to give in to their frustrations makes the world a slightly better place. Not saying you should adapt that attitude either. But if you want to give up faith on humanity, don't automatically assume, that everyone else should as well.

      @my dad beats me "kinda stopped reading after that" -- if that is the case, then yes, you are better off using your energy on something else. No reason in having a discussion if you invest multiple minutes writing your view, but only a few seconds to read the other persons.
      Terrible things happen, yes. Some trees have bad apples. Doesn't mean the whole tree is rotten.
      "You can't control what people do". True. You can - however - control what you do. Don't underestimate the power of how that influences people around you and how the way they continue living their lives influences the people around them and so on.
      Every person who doesn't give up on the world tips the scale ever so slightly to the point where nobody must feel the need to give up anymore.
      "Pain is self-chosen." Couldn't agree more. So is pretty much everything else in our lives, including our attitude towards it : )
