  • They are back ! September 28/2011 the best concert in all the f*cking history !!

  • So basically Serj threw Daron and the rest of the band under the bus...I feel bad for Daron. Everybody blames him and his ego when it is quite clear it was Serj's decision to go solo. Glad Daron found his new romance with Scars. Fucking epic band!!

  • MotörHead shirt ;3

  • Comment removed

  • whats the song at 0:17

  • @doubletoe2011 "Insane" by Scars on Broadway

  • @hylian726 Thanks

  • Correction not technically "broken up"

    They are in a kind of "hiatus"

    They're not broken up or together really. And they're doing a tour soon. So yeah just cuz they're on your doesn't mean they're gonna do the same thing they used to. Make music together.

  • seemsdown to earth

  • I like ALL of SOAD/ Scars on Broadway/ Serj Tankian songs, every single one, though i like Serj's lyrics better, Daron's music is much better.

  • Man he wrote the fucking songs!!!!!

  • they are together again.

  • Maaan, i will forever LOVE this band, they were unique, their lyrics were dope, and there will never be another System of a Down... =/ ....I wish they would get back together!!!!

  • ok,ok ... daron wrote the songs, but SOAD wouldn't have half of the fans they have if malakian sang the musics. serj made 2 solo albums and they're much better than scars on broadway's album

  • They reunited dude :)

  • please reunite for ur fans plzzzzzzzzz :( :(

  • okay fine he wrote most of everything!!! blah blah blah.... if serj wasn't presenting it it wouldn't be worth listening to. Serj has a beautiful voice Daron horrible screech hurts my ears. He ruined several really good sounds by singing in them. It is asinine for him to boast and pretend it was all him 99% of it anyway. I have listened to Serj's solo album and it has similar sounds to soad. Just as good if not better at times then soad. He needs to get over himself!

  • @kokana24 GOOD SOAD songs

    lonely day, B.Y.O.B, radio/video, lost in hollywood, oldschool hollywood, violent pornography, soldier side, revenga, cigaro, this cocaine makes me feel like im on this song, question!, sad statue, and many many mor

    "all sang with daron" so go suck a big dick!

  • @kokana24 He's talking about the guitar you fucking idiot.

  • I LOVE THIS MAN

  • whats the song called in the backround? :)

    

  • @RNJ312

    The songs in th background are, They say, serious and insane by scars on broadway ....!

  • Anybody notice he didn't mention Rap or Hip Hop! lol

  • fake. not daron

    

  • @zeinali333 how do you know?

  • @dillon560 I know him and his voice does not sound like that, andddddddd that is not something he will say.

  • @zeinali333 ummmmm if you dont mind me asking how do you know him?

  • @dillon560 I don't mind you asking. His my neighbor I live in the same city as him.

  • @dillon560 well arnt you a lucky one ok ill believe you thats a pretty big claim your making but ok ill trust you on it

  • @zeinali333 dude if you knew daron you would regonize his voice. ive never meet daron,shavo,john or serj.

    but i regonize their voices even if their voices changes. you know daron ? huh..

  • @TheSystemofadownvevo ya I dont hang out with him everyday or attend his family gatherings, but we sometimes jam together and we never talked about soad and why they broke up. I just know he would never speak that way about the songs, and who ever put this video up just wants views.

  • @zeinali333 ok lets clear this up... watch the interview at the suggestion list.

    daron malakian interview by beatestbanned.

    there you go.

  • @zeinali333 every  voices changes man

  • daron is a good singer

  • I don't understand how some people wonder about fact, that he wrote most of the music in SOAD. Serj is mad, but Daron is INSANE, as their music is! He's the real mastermind, every band would only dream of having. But all guys in Soad are legends i fuckin LOVE them!

  • Not gonna lie I came here 'cause I saw Daron giving the finger to the camera...

  • Ppl don't know what isa hiatus A "Hiatus" is when a band say "Okay,this is not working anymore,we have other ideas,so let's focus on these new things,and take a break,take a rest" That is a hiatus. A break up is quite differente, "Breaking Up" is saying "We are all sick of this,we are all sick of ourselves,I can't even see or hear you guys anymore,so go to hell and goodbye". (In most of cases,break-ups are like that). SOAD always made clear they would return,when they wanted to.

  • i fucking love soad please bro's get back together

  • @JMAN19851 they are back. search up live performances of them on youtube.

  • only idiots who don't follow the band think they're back... its as Aethinus said, they are just back for a tour and nothing else... Yet.

  • @marblethatmops i've followed this band for 9 years and are one of my biggest influences. and yes they are back. im not an idiot, you are. in 2006, system stopped playing together as a band for 5 years to do their own thing. than they decided to stop doing their solo projects for the time being and play as a band again. to say they didnt come back makes absolutly. they are playing together again, which means theyre back. theres even a video where daron says "its good to be back motherfuckers"

  • @sutter204 where is that video!?!!?

  • I LOVE SOAD FOR EVER THE BEST BAND IN ROCK HISTERY????????

    

  • actuallly, they didn't broke up, they were in a chasmodia, that means that they got separated for a long time, planning go back together one day

  • @Jim95Mac hiatus

  • @TheGiveNtake anyway.... i'm from Europe

  • Whats the song called in 0:47? tell me

  • @123hondacivic Scars on Broadway - Insane

  • @vanquilex Thanks alot man.

  • "We'll play some shows when we run out of money, like Faith No More did."

    -Daron Malakian, lol

  • daron malakian is an genius and an awesome person.DARON ROCKS.i love him sooooooo much....!!!!!!!!!!! by star blanton

  • omg daron pisses me off sometimes! a band is GROUP effort. so he cant go around saying "i did all the work" he's total bullshit.

  • @SerjTankianLover1 He was referring about Scars on Broadway not about System of a Down N00b

  • @SerjTankianLover1

    Wrong.

    many very good bands have "Masterminds" the ones that make it all happen. a band needs all the right people to make it sound right, but think about it this way:

    If you switch out Daron with any other guitarist in SOAD, the music would be about 95% different.

    Daron makes about 95% of all te stuff, but it would not be SOAD without the others. it would be scars on Broadway. And he never said anything about being more important then the others, he just makes more music.

  • @OndskapensHersker he said that 95% of the material that he writes is written in his room, he didn't say that he wrote 95% of SOAD's material.

  • @SerjTankianLover1 Not all the bands are the same you know? They are all different. And what he said is the truth. Daron wrote the majority of the songs. Everyone thought serj wrote the lyrics, thats why daron said that.

  • @SerjTankianLover1 The misconception was that Serj was the mastermind. Daron was simply setting the record straight. I love Serj, his poetry, his new music, and his personality as a whole, but one thing is clear, SOAD would of never made it if Daron was not in that band.

  • SWASTIKAS ON BROADWAY

  • Comment removed

  • Serj did actually right a few of the songs though.. maybe 20-30% of them.. still not much but he did wright a little and is a good writer.

  • @Gogohax

    interesting... you spelled "write" wrong twice....but you spelled "writer" correctly. 3rd times a charm I guess...

  • wait, they're like, separated?? whaaat.

  • Daron actually said in an interveiw, that he cant stand the word "hiatus"....he called the situation with System "[...] a seperation but not a divorce [...]"

  • Hiatus usually means that a band isn't coming back. If you say the broke up you are correct and if you say they took a break you'd be correct too. I'm surprised they are back together, but still doubt I will hear a new album from them... unfortunately.

  • Is he modest? Nope. Does he consistantly say "I" or "me"? Yup. Does he completely annihilate the oh so comforting and adhereing words of the SOAD of old? Yup. Does he remind me of that guy who is a one-upper? Yup. Is his voice the voice of SOAD? Nope. There is a thirst in his voice that is apparent. He is thirsty for accliam and fame yet is that not part of what the band opposes? To me, he is a revolutionary who sold his soul to the Western Devil.

  • @WeShareTheSameAir I completely see where you are coming from. I have noticed Daron displaying cognitive dissonance on a number of occasions. Jessica is his Lady In Red =(

  • Tehy didn't break up, they went on hiatus and now they're off it and touring again.

  • idk how everyone feels about this but it almost seems like daron wants to take credit fr everything

  • @13revenga Well, he certainly deserves the credit. Most folks think Serj wrote the material. As he said, he was clearing up a common 'misconception'. People seem to think that is arrogant., I dont understand why -its beautiful music, people deserve to know who it came from...and, as an artist, he deserves the acknowledgment for the creation of such epic music and lyrics.

  • @ImNazelis79 if daron did make the material scars on broadway wouldent such a shitty band. and Serj tankians solo project wouldent be so good, and the albums Daron doesnt sing on are the best albums. All of Systems albums are great but all the one's that daron sings one are just slighty worse,

  • @ark277 There is no '"IF" Daron made the material, it is fact that he wrote the material (did you listen to the interview?) Why are you arguing with me? If you have a beef with what Daron said right here on tape (which can be backed up by Serj Shavo and John through other youtube interviews) then take it up with him. I, for one, cannot compare Scars to Serj or wither to SOAD, they are nothing of the same.Its like trying to compare David Gilmour to Pink Floyd. Why fucking would you even try?

  • @ark277 hey! take a look at this interview. daron and serj in an interview together talking about who brings the music, lyrics and melodies etc to the table. they both seem to agree that daron is the mastermind behind soad =) listen for yourself watch?v=7NcIzKlQ8yY

  • @ark277 (daron is not as cocky about it in that interview though)

  • system is back motherfucker!! when system is done with there reunion (which i hope lasts a long time!) that he will go back to scars on broadway and make another album!

  • scars on broadway kicks ass! after the system reunion is over i hop he then goes back to scars!

  • lolz this is an australian radio station

  • Malakian best of the best))))

  • Ture none of their singles r good but they were bad ass when they were together even though alot of poeple beleived that they were a satanic band idk if they were but they were my fav rock band back then

  • 1.he took that way too personal 2. its just one record 3. serj is the singer anyway

  • I went to the soad website and it showed conserts that are happening this year

  • what kind of tattoos are those

  • that was the best band in the world

  • Scars on broadway SUCKS Serj's solo stuff SUCKS SOAD together FUCKING RULE!! So they need to make new songs and get back together permanetly..

  • actually its not clear for how much time they came back.they have announced many shows and serj hasnt really stopped working on his solo career...

  • dude, he's wearing a Motorhead t-shirt...i think. that's pretty cool. SOAD is still far better though

  • @blackjerryboymetal daron *

  • Haha Daron is a Victim of Circumstance

  • YOU HAVE NOW MUCH MORE SERJ TANKIAN FANS THAN SCARS ON BROADWAY

    CHECK FANS PAGES ON FACEBOOK AND VIDS

  • SOAD BROKE UP BECAUSE DARON WANTED TO SING MAINLY AND SERJ WANTED SOMETHING COOLER THAN METAL AND TRYING NEW STUFF THAT ALL PEOPLE CAN LISTEN NOT JUST METALHEADS

  • Daron is saying he wrote 95% of his part, not the bands.

  • you stupid bitch! he meant he writ 95% of HIS music!! not yhr bands!! you dickhead

  • @lisamalakien wrote

  • thats crazy, i thought serj did most of the writing. that must be awful to have someone else always take credit for something you did.

  • thats ghettooo!!!!!! but i love serj his solo albums are pretty good and his voice is so unique <3 love you serj!!!!!

  • !

    What? He wrote most of the material?

    I seriously thought Serj did.

    But there were some songs that... I thought he did write...

    "Cigaro" being one definitely. Daron is pretty insane sometimes.....

    But I still love them.

  • @a518b The hell man, Daron wrote like 75% of it or maybe even more

  • @GaidonxP The first 3 albums were a collaboration Serj wrote just as much on the first three albums mabey even more

  • @a518b Daron is kind of lying but kind of telling the truth. They all collaborated on the songs sometimes it was just a certain guys song, usually Daron's

  • @ soadguitar95 who are you

  • i prefer Serj Tankian doin his solo stuff

  • @Theblackmetalist Finally some else thinks so :)

  • Hello All,

    We are excited to announce that System will be playing some dates together in 2011.

    We also want to thank you for your loyalty and support, not only to System Of A Down, but to all of our solo efforts as well. We have no master plan of sorts - we are playing these shows simply because we want to play together again as a band and for you, our amazing fans. We look forward to seeing all of you!

    - Peace

    System Of A Down

  • @SoadGuitar95 really?

  • They never broke up, they were on an hiatus.

  • He's not drunk in this interview :-p

  • why would serj do a solo album when his only good song is praise the lord and pass the amunition

  • he's just done alot of drugs and his eyes are pokin out because his receptors have been stimulated. have a look at what real indigenous human beings eyes look like,

  • they're playing at RaR!

  • Okay they're not back together off hiatus, they're just coming back for a month to play some shows for the respect of their fans.

    It's all on the main page.

    systemofadown(dot com)

  • @Aethinus god damn it, fuckballs, i got drunk for nothing

  • @lautaarmy DRUNK

    I WASTED ALL MY WEED!

  • @Aethinus that's not exactly true. they havent taken that much time to plan anything big yet, that's why they said "no master plan of sorts". they want to play together again, and that can mean anything now. that could mean temporarily or for a few years. stay uptaded to their website and we'll find out what will happen to system in the future.

    2011 HERE WE COME!

  • @Aethinus They didn't even mention a Hiatus on the main page in the first place. They just said they're doing shows and they thank the fans for waiting and being loyal. They also only said there's no master plan for anything new, and just want to play AS A BAND. If you do not know, a hiatus is a temporary break until any further notice of a break up or reunion. You may notice that they said they want to play as a band again... that means an end of a hiatus, for they are no longer on a break.

  • @Aethinus yep.

  • @Aethinus more like they're coming back to make some money

  • Comment removed

  • @Aethinus ummmmm its been 10 months

  • They're back! =)

  • @MakeEmLaughFilms YES THEY FUCKING ARE, ALL THUMBS UP ON THIS MOFO

  • @lautaarmy i dont belive you. cause then 2011 would be too good, guild wars 2 comes out that year too. At least it seems so.

  • @lautaarmy no they arent... they make just some shows for their fans...

  • @MakeEmLaughFilms CANT WAIT!!

  • @MakeEmLaughFilms NO WAI?!?!?!?? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!! only i dont live near the download festival....

  • @MakeEmLaughFilms They're coming to metaltown in sweden and I'm gonna see them! I can't wait!

  • @TheFaggotMaster TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!!!!! :DDDDD

  • @fishywilleatchu Sure thing!

  • @MakeEmLaughFilms i wish they were...

  • @MakeEmLaughFilms 4 real?

  • his eyes are so big

  • @iAmMcdizzle09 its the make up i think but yea all in all they are big lol

  • I think his eyes r cute.

  • @iAmMcdizzle09 called doin drugs mate

  • @iAmMcdizzle09 thats the middle eastern :p

  • ..."An official announcement on the matter, with more details about the group's future plans, could come as early as next week."

    If you don't believe it's real type in on google "system of a down 2011 reunion" it's at the bottom! :D

  • Everyone look at this,I copied and pasted it from a website:

    "According to the official blog of Francis Zégut, host of the show "Pop Rock Station" on the French radio station RTL2, SYSTEM OF A DOWN will perform at the Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy in Paris, France on June 6, 2011. This is expected to be one of many gigs the reunited band will play in Europe during next summer's festival season."

  • Fail troll (blackjerryboymetal) thinks he is a successful troll.

  • they didnt break up, they went on hiatus. Thats like a break.

  • @blackjerryboymetal dude, what are you basing this on?

  • @blackjerryboymetal Are you fucking stupid or what?

    Daron is ranked as Guitar World's 30th best heavy metal guitarist.

    There is no comparison between Daron's lead/baritone/electric skills and Serj's occasional acoustical guitar contributions.

    Seriously you know jack shit about this band if you're seriously saying that Daron "sucks very badly" as a lead guitarist.

    Daron has played guitars since he was in nappies. Serj's main skill (aside from vocalizing) is keyboards, which he started out as.

  • thumbs up

    i want them to go back

  • Stop picking sides between Serj and Daron, because you haven't seen in their perspective, so I wouldn't judge unless you were really there in the band. Another thing is stop saying that one or the other should be gone or whatever, because without the other, it's not even system of a down, is it?¿ Both of them make it a band, not just one. This band was formed from both of them together, not just one, so how can it end with just one.

  • @blackjerryboymetal Where did you hear this? serj seems like a smart guy, and daron seems like a party guy. but scars definitely sounds more like system to me than serj's stuff. but both are great.

  • coming back in 2011 yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • kinda asshole...:/

    i dont really understand system of a down...

    ok their music is awesome but when i listen to a band i want this band to be true...real...

    how are these guys real and stuff when they cant even get along together...when they are assholes (or asshole)

    how am i going to concider these guys 'good people'

  • @Rizombie what?

  • @Rizombie They aren't supposed to be taken seriously. They tell people that they shouldn't be taken seriously. Daron has said that if you take them seriously, then you're in trouble.

  • @Bradyman55 okay sure

    but im pretty sure that they know what they are talking about...

    BYOB is a gr8 example,the song's lyrics are pretty obvious...i mean no hidden messages and no 'crazyness' (not to much atleast :P)

  • Thumbs up if you noticed that at 2:22 Daron's song Insane is different from the album version.

  • @Niker335 I think it's just the radio station just remixing/chopping the songs.

  • @Niker335 ur absolutely correct the solo sounds like as if it was cut in half or something weird

  • This is my facebook picture, lol.

  • is He Also The Backup Singers?

  • lol those lamp posts are everywhere in Glendale, where Daron lives. They really do look like they're swastikas

  • did he cry after the interview?

  • DAMMNIT SERJ. SHIT

    yyu know.. you really do give my a headache.. -__-```

    but i will give you this. you have a nice voice probaby better than daron's(i<3yu:}) and yeah, your shit may be bettter than scars on broadway even though i prefer scars ovr yur stuff but WHATEVER. the point is.. i think you need to wake up and see whats happening. i hate to say it but, youre becoming more selfish and ignorant than yu used to be

    :(:(

  • Serj is obviously a way better singer/songwriter than Daron. If you don't believe me, compare the successes of Serj's solo career with Daron's.

  • @CoFMinion Serj is more successful for one reason: He was the lead singer for System. To many System fans he was the face of System; when you thought of Serj you thought of System. Serj is more recognized and known then Daron or John, so of course his solo album is going to be more successful.

  • @mr207 thats true but I think that Scars On Broadway had a style that reflected much more SOAD effect. Serj has better vocals, but Daron has a much better style.

  • @CoFMinion I don't believe with you... Daron's been busy, he said so himself, so he couldn't make many albums and tour like Serj did. Another reason I don't believe you is because Daron (in this interview) said he wrote almost all the lyrics for SOAD, which is much better and larger than what Serj has done. Although, I really do like Serj's CDs.

  • @CoFMinion lawl, i think serious is better than empty walls. i like serj's personality better than daron's, but i think daron writes more addictive songs.

  • Seriously they all said they were on haitus they MIGHT(i said might! not for sure) come back 2011

  • Daron is a self centered ego maniac. He only cares about himself and wants all the spotlight.

    He fuckin says I wrote this and did all this me me me shit, then he blames Serj for them splittin? get the fuck outta here. We can see through his lies and if you cant you are BLIND

    Serj wrote most lyrics in the early years, good albums. Daron write Mezmerize/Hypnotize, shit albums.

    Serj solo projects, good. Daron's solo project, shit.

    Serj is the talent.

  • @Icecoldstunner15 A- fucking men

  • @Icecoldstunner15

    u mad

    u mad about the fact that darron wrote most of the songs?

    serjs singing is great

    but without daron, shavo and john SOAD would be nothing.

  • @Icecoldstunner15 Dude serj is amazing! now songs like soldier side and question! and war? and alot more of the good songs serj probably wrote. But song like cigaro (my cock is much bigger than yours) and violent pornography and other crappy songs on system daron wrote. I honestly like serj on his own now..have you heard Imperfect harmonies? its amazing.

  • where the hell is Shavo?? he was my favorite!!

  • they didnt break up, just taking a break

  • 1:19 - 1:29 Scars on Broadway - Insane

    2:45 - 2:56 Scars on Broadway - Serious

    4:25 - 4:56 Scars on Broadway - They Say
