[spartenofpie]

dude they are both epic and smart they arnt what most people expect out of heavy metal musicians

[djsmallballs]

2 of my biggest heros in one room. fuck you henry rollins aha lucky man.

[ingrid3578]

omg Serj is my hero. I LOVE HIM

[acadreading02]

Thank you for uploading this video!

[Slayerkid16]

you know I find it funny that tom is against skinheads yet hes wearing boots with red laces which is a symbol for blood shed in skinhead gangs.

[konatown5]

Holy shit he's talking about Immokalee

[76Azteca]

serj and tom should make a band together

[fattirevsbud]

Haters are gonna hate, these guys do good stuff and actually made Mc Donals move fofr their workers and that's great 'bout em

[BigKahuna93]

Serj got the zappa-beard goin' :D

[sixlanesofsteel]

both their bands suck balls. hypocrites who use rebellion as a marketing tool.

GG Allin rules.

[k5lta]

@sixlanesofsteel Marketing tool? what the fuck!!

[Slayerkid16]

@sixlanesofsteel I love both Rage and System and I also love GG Allin GG is something that the kids today need to know about because he lived breathed and sweated punk rock!

[Geotexify]

I know serj is half american half...something. What is the other half of his origin? can somebody help me out please? thanks :)

[FleaIsDaMan]

@Geotexify Armenian?

[35TCK]

@FleaIsDaMan yes'

[CodeProvider]

@Geotexify he's not "half american." he is fully armenian, he was just born in america. so, he is an armenian-american.

[scat4u]

@CodeProvider you could simplify it by using the term human

[uiruu]

@CodeProvider Actually Daron Malakian, SOAD's guitarist, is the only one born in America. Serj was born somewhere else.. but I don't know for sure if it was Armenia. I know for a fact he grew up in America though.

[CodeProvider]

@uiruu yes, i know. im pretty sure serj and john were born in lebanon, and shavo was born in yeravan, armenia. they all grew up in cali though.

[moochercat]

@Geotexify Given his last name I'd say he was Armenian. Serj also mentions the Armenian genocide, so that is also a tip-off.

[vodkaanimal]

He's appalled, and I'm appaled too. By people sporting red stars, che guevaras and things like that. Just as bad as the thing he's talking about.

[thenewbarbarians]

Joe Hill!

[SvartEld]

@thenewbarbarians Organisera!

[MBandMAproductions]

three very intelligent men looked down upon by conservative america

[hojima]

Morello has the same accent as obama. Fits I guess.

[alpur214]

@hojima I have often compared Tom to Obama. There are some similarities for sure.

[moochercat]

@alpur214 Certainly, they are both half Kenyon and on their mother's side they are part Irish. Plus, they both went to Harvard.

[redbug96]

Best 2 bands in history

[rofllol6969]

motherfuckers are smart hahahah

[monsterofrock01]

Morello is absolutely correct about Ozzfest haha.

[MansonFan64]

I miss this show :(

[ikdsjOFFICIAL]

hell I love  \m/

[blindfatkid23]

If i saw rollins, tankian and morello in the same room my head would explode.

[foottothenuts]

serj tankian can't sing for his life. he sounds like an arabian goat.

[iShreddeth]

@foottothenuts

*Armenian god.

[foottothenuts]

@iShreddeth sorry, the fucker can't sing. and tom morello sucks at guitar too

[Sudenak]

@foottothenuts It's okay; I know that it's been a little while since you watched American Idol. Don't worry; it'll start airing again soon, and then you'll have more high quality music to thoroughly enjoy.

Barf.

Serj's voice is Godly, and so utterly unique. Morello's also Godly. Ergo, we all know who you are: a troll. Have fun with your trolling :D Your lack of taste is just dandy.

[foottothenuts]

@Sudenak i'm not a troll if i'm speaking from the heart. thanks for just assuming things about my taste. tom morello can't even play real guitar, so he covers up for it by making idiotic sound effects. it doesn't matter hoe unique serj's voice is. he has no real range and sounds like a goat.

[pughdafis]

@foottothenuts not everyone listen to opera singers and yngwie malmsteen and consider them the best. some people like music for its creativity.

[foottothenuts]

@pughdafis and opera isn't creative? (yngwie's music has had no creativity for decades. he used up all his ideas in Alcatrazz and on his first album)

[pughdafis]

@foottothenuts not what i was saying, i meant, not everyone considers formally written or theoretically pristiene music the best, some music might not be your taste, but it doesnt mean that it isnt creative or good.

[RossettaStoned91]

this guy does some good interviews. i like his manson interview alot

[SpasmOfJoy]

My three Hero's.

[rikmomentary]

omg. i forgot how much youtube comments piss me off.

[OliverReedv2]

@rikmomentary FUCK YOU LIBTARD FUCKFACE.

[thedwayne05]

Tom is very smart. He has a degree from Harvard

[matulaak988]

Sooooo... am i the only one who thinks that Tom sounds like Obama?

[Lilozito]

Serj n Tom are Icons of music n political spectrums'. It amazing.

Motivation to the fullest. =]

[Gamer21Films]

Serj has a cool beard...

[LordDeathspit]

I love how all these genius artist aren't bitching about their rights being taken away now that Obama is in the white house. He hasn't given any back and is taking more. It doesnt matter whos is the white house they work for the same people.

[robot4me]

@LordDeathspit your exactly right

[incaoutburst]

ahah and I love Sej's quote "Shit, man. There's so much injustice."

[incaoutburst]

Serj is very soft spoken, I just realized.

Both of these guys can speak wonderfully though.

[deaconfrost204]

Serj looks like Borat! I luv it!! :D

[TheClarenceter]

tom morello and serj tankian are 2 big sellout posers. Henry rollins, however, is able to do something without being a fucking poser sitting there with all trendy clothes.

[amtr04]

@TheClarenceter You, my sir. Have no idea what you're talking about, please go back into your cave.

[TheClarenceter]

@amtr04 lmfao. stop being a stupid slag, and probably try a taste of reality, fucking buttface

[proddster]

@TheClarenceter how can someone sell out by being themselves? you can't honestly expect someone to stay the same after so many years. people change. its called life, if you didnt know what that is. if you expect your heroes of your youth are going to be the same 10 years down the road, or even 2 years later, you shall be sadly mistaken

[TheClarenceter]

@proddster who was talking about being themself in the musical industry, yes. industry in this case, because both serj tankian and tom morello make a living out of mainstream. you are twisting you reply on an old argument to change reality for yourself. you see...im talking about these chaps making a hell of an amount of money in mainstream. i aint on about their lives.

[TheClarenceter]

@proddster like alot of ignorant youtubers. your naive lifestyle makes you arrogant, idiotic, poser, weak, and so, so easily hurt. i guess it is because all teenagers dont seem to want to struggle with life as it was meant for. this is why you cant keep calm and have a decent point in anything that is alien to you. you need to go on some risperidon medicine to keep yerself calm.

[ktulu0777]

Tom sounds like Barack Obama

[marcussilvamgs]

@ktulu0777 that's becuz they came from the same state from USA.

[dstncowles]

thums up if you think Serj was trying to look like frank zappa

[jointhemodernworld]

i fucking hate henry rollins.talentless poser

[dstncowles]

@jointhemodernworld yeah a intelligent badass forfather of hardcore punk is a poser yeah and slayer sings gospel songs

[jointhemodernworld]

@dstncowles well then im glad you agree with me.i might also add that henry rollins has his head very far up his own asshole and you certainly cant compare his shit to minor threat or bad brains . rollins only joined blackflag in 81. that spoken word crap

[dstncowles]

@jointhemodernworld yeah he joined and put them on the map they were just a favorite of skaters then rollins came alonmade them legendary so yeah put hardcore on the map the whole attitude of it was him open your eyes and the spoken word stuff is genius stuff your one of those people that think intelligent people who have an opinion have their head up their asses which in return makes you the one with your head up your ass sir

[jointhemodernworld]

@dstncowles you need to stop smoking crack and trying to rewrite history brother.

are you telling me rollins put hardcore on the map?in 1981?yeah ok. plus,who gives a shit about his spoken rants except gullible fags like you?oh yeah ,all the other sheeple that agree with "mrhardcore".hahaha

[WentMillerGal15]

I ♥ Serj! Not only am I a huge fan of his but he's Armenian and I'm Persian and whenever I listen to his solo work and SOAD songs, I know how much in pain he is due to American societys racist remarks it still has on people from the Middle East. Everyday, I am paranoid by some asshole coming up to me and accusing me of terrorism because of my Persian heritage. I applaud Serj!

[LonelyDayProductionz]

rage against the machine and system of a down should tour together

[youtoo124365]

My 2 fav artists ever!!!

[bababeerkie]

my boys!

[bababeerkie]

my boys!

[bababeerkie]

my boys!

[koolmaaan]

serj has the best mustache ever

[ajfdrums447]

haha McDonalds was like "oh shit rage is coming"

[elok92]

2 MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN WORLD!

[FollyxXxFallen]

These guys are the best. Serj is so right about what he said at the end, it's easy to speak out when everybody agrees with you, but when they don't you're perceived wrongly.

[jabre12]

wow, just the title made me pinch myself

[rodood1]

nice vid,SOAD & RATM ALONG WITH AUDIOSLAVE ARE SOME OF THE BEST BANDS EVER!

[LeslieElite90]

Henry Rollins is a racist. Luckily the Sons of Anarchy killed him.

[Coui0112358]

serj and tom great guys!!.....wake up people!! let s the brainwashing end!

[spaik007]

the host looks republican.... nah just kidding you cant see that...

[ClassicRock8]

who is on Tom's shirt?

[HaveSomeMax]

@ClassicRock8

its joe hill

[ClassicRock8]

@HaveSomeMax why yes it is

[ocmslover]

@ClassicRock8 His name is Tom Waits.He is a folk singer/songwriter.

[ClassicRock8]

@ocmslover no HaveSomeMax is right, its Joe Hill

[ocmslover]

@ClassicRock8 oh... okay sorry.I thought for sure it was Waits.I guess they sortta look alike.

[dacrazy07]

2 of the coolest mother F******* out there in the music industry. God bless them

[nigsvon]

Henry Rollins got BIG ASS head. lookin like a football up there attached to his neck

[SMSBJM1981]

@nigsvon I have actually spoken to henry face to face and his head isn't all that big.

[MrMadaicseason]

We're all puppets, bought and paid for. That's what Serj and Tom are talking about, stand up and let your voice be heard instead of just accepting the status quo

[jakematters]

Social justice.. Right.. Gotta find SOMEthing with which to fill your spare time..

Just don't go stepping on peoples' toes..

[burnmaker01]

very nice

[GagesChannel]

Michael Moore is a fat ass bitch who gets payed under the table by fuckers like G bush

[MYtruthsetsmeFREE]

Micheal Moore is a freakin puppet, bought and paid for!!

[GDSpro]

serj reminds me of ben stiller in the way he talks lol.

[con10000000000]

serj and tom should form a band!

[luekdethwish]

@con10000000000

they cant do that. the awesomeness would kill everyone in a 50-mile radius. Just them being interviewed together here in this video killed 87 people... that's how powerfully awesome they are.

[Mtlero14]

Serj is BORRAT

[thedrunkstuff]

@Mtlero14 Open your ears fool.

[mussman717word]

@Mtlero14

I was thinking Leon Trotsky, but whatev.

[drizat]

guys......these people are not smart, they are not "genius'". They are assholes. Quite frankly these guys and their fucking egos make me laugh...

[Jack7471]

Hey it's a fox news commend all opinion no facts

[Renthefaceless]

lol it's funny that you quote "genius".

You're an asshole lol.

[thetimebomb666]

fuck i would love to see Serj and Tom really pissed off, like yelling at cops or politicans

[MasterKine420]

People who say the Bush administration is the worst don't know history very well.

Study Nixon's and Wilson's administrations. They deliberately hurt the country where as Bush didn't it accidentally.

And Nixon and Wilson didn't have a war pushed onto them from pissed off Muslims that declared a Jihad on all Americans.

I love Tom's music but his political views are too narrow and focused on 'progressive' views. Which is the disease to the US Constitution.

[Jack7471]

I think its great that the words accident and unintentionally come up when it comes to defend Bush it is just like saing " Of course he sucked as the pesident but he's a moron what did you expected!"

Pricesless!

[grigga666]

Recognize the Armenian Genocide "Kalo Turkous, einai Nekro Turkous"

[averilleX]

Are there any vids around of Rollin's recent performances in the Middle East? Have just seen them reported on Digital Spy.

[Einherj1]

There's three of some of the most intelligent musicians I know in the same room right there.

[blazerr]

@Einherj1 I think we disagree on the definition of "intelligence."

[Diana135530]

@Einherj1 whos the third guitarist

[unfortunatebeam]

In early punk rock/hardcore scene a lot of punks seemed to sport a nazi symbol somewhere on them just to fuck with people's minds basically and for shock value. I don't know how different that is in more recent years like the guys at the ozfest with the symbols. Could it be for similar reasons why some punks did it years ago, or are they really just proudly brazenly racist?

[plaguedentity]

Serj and Tom are very intelligent

[k5lta]

yeah they are smart and thats freakin awesome

[isomikieee]

And very nice personalities to talk to :)

[k5lta]

yeah and they are both from my hometown :D

[derrikdavid]

Well, well, well. *pushes up glasses* I can tell by watching this interview that all three of these men have IQ's around 90 - intellectual infants, but they have promise. With cultivation, they may bloom into intelligent men such as myself. I hope so.

[mp40vthompson]

@derrikdavid ummmmmmm Serj graduated with a 4.0 grade point average, created his own software corporation, and went on to persuade the PRESIDENT of the United States to recgonise the Armenian Genocide. Read up if you're so smart dick.

[derrikdavid]

@mp40vthompson: When making that comment, I was totally joking. I was laughing as I wrote it. They're all smart men. The comment that you called me a dick for is just a little part of my humor. My bad... Lol.

[1mind1humanity]

@mp40vthompson Not to mention, Tom Morello is a Harvard graduate, I believe, w/ a degree in political science

[bwallace77]

@plaguedentity I don't know about Serj, but Tom went to Harvard.

[Thralllinian]

serj looks like frank zappa....

[metalwizard13]

pfft corporate rock.

[Orygyn]

I take it people think that there's hypocrisy in making money off of your music and being heavily anti-establishment activists as well. Here's the problem. If you want a bearable quality of life, you need money. As people have said before me, having money puts you in a position to donate more and help out more, and having the fame gives you the influence to encourage others to help. And, of course, if you think it's preachy, no-one forced you to listen to their views or their music.

[DoNotBeHighandMighty]

@Orygyn

Very true, there is nothing wrong with having "money." But with money comes responsibily. And it is the misuse of money and power that people gain with money and what they do with that power that is a bad thing.

[stett99]

theyre fuckin stoned

[RyLeeKing]

i dunno if i could speak with those two sittin across from me.... i would be way to pumped...

[PuertoRicanBoi127]

The dude giving the interview is from sons of anarchy I watch that show every tuesday but now I got to wait till next year for season 3

[RORYzRIGHT]

First off I play bass in a band that had no political views what so ever! And no idea to whats going on in the world, and dont really care. I would learn about things I won't go into now. That I show up to rehersal worked up.

[RORYzRIGHT]

And try to let them know some of the shit thats going on.I got" DUDE give it a break"I am very much into the truth.I like S.O.A.Down alot my new fav is"show me how to live"audioslave.Ive seen tom and serj here .these guys are now my new HEROS for more than one reason.I love there music now i find I love what they are about.Its like this everyone around me is like george bush he wasnt so bad! OMG And I just cant beleave my ears.Go back to sleep america your government has it all under control:-(

[MrSteveEllis]

As soon as these fucking bar band musicians make money they want to set these organisations up to show people they how good they are! They become fucking bono! And they have this anti-capitalist hypocritic front, yet they're signed to major labels! Their music is garbage anyway!

[TheFragile89]

The organisations are designed to help people, and since they have plenty of money because of being on major labels they can contribute more.

But I guess in your mind it would be better if Axis Of Justice was never formed....just because the people behind it wanted to make a comfortable living at what they love to do.

[schism206]

agreed. just because their famous musicians, that doesn't mean their intentions aren't genuine to do what the feel is right, and if they can contribute to something they believe in on a large scale, what's wrong with that ? when bands all of a sudden become "political" out of the blue, then it gets lame, but these guys have been pro-active in their not just political but social views since they began making music. Anyone who shits on Serj & Tom Morello for their activism are a waste of space.

[peyoteugly]

hahahaha gotta agree with you.

Rage Against the Machine...unless the 'machine' is Sony Music Corporation.

[ohefdubs]

GAY

[MrSteveEllis]

As soon as these fucking bar-band musicians make enough money, they want to set up these organisations to feel good about themselves! They all start turning into fucking Bono! They're signed to major labels, are they not? But yet they have this anti-capitalist hypocritical front! Their music is garbage anyway!

[ParticleFarticle]

Henry Rollins sucked Oprah Winfrey's penis before he got his own show.

He gives tattoos a bad name, but what the fuck you gonna do?

With age, comes boredom and redundancy.

How does a hard-core punk dude become reduced to a kiss-ass talk show vagabond?

[almoststewy2]

cuz he needs to put food on the table

[yogold123]

henry rollins is the shit people need to know what is good n wat is bad about politics and how we are all have to know wtf is goin on

[sistabliss0609]

Anyone have a link to The henry Rollins show from season 2, when Pepping Tom performed? Think it was episode 8

[gjt26]

is this show still on?

[ArseBandit85]

you know I really think that the whole Armenian Genocide thing was wrong and everything but if I hear Serj say Armenian Genocide one more time I'm gunna flip out.

[Gnarkill0133]

I'm all for equality and all but I agree with the idea of have both sides and and let the people decide and what the choose is what they choose and we, as people, must respect that. Now I'm not saying I respect Neo-Nazi asstards beating up people but thats a different subject.

[rapcoremanx]

that henry rollins is a same as appearing in the video game def jam fight for new york for ps2 an xbox?

[Hotshoe]

put a black flag on the white house! Henry for President, Nuge for Sec. of State

[fieldingmellish44]

Yes, all musicians should just sing about getting laid, doing drugs and being 'rock 'n' roll', like all those wonderful hair metal bands of the '80s. What a golden age of self-expression that was. Musicians with any kind of an opinion or social conscience should be barred from expressing themselves.

[LawlessRick]

i know man. some people just cant see how much they do mix and how the music can inspire and motivate people politically. I thought everyone had moved on from all the hair metal shit.

[DAVESMOMHASAIDS]

only fools mix politics and entertainment

[undericesinger]

I agree, if you play it fine, but you don't see dave mustaine complaining. PPl wanna hear music.

[2112GeddyLee]

does anybody know where tom morello donates most of his income too?

[DL345]

lol y does serjs beard look so fake to me in this interview

[youknuckle]

now THATS a band right there....

[YOUPUBEISGAY]

how can that room hold such legends. xDD

[drporkchop234]

BOOM BOOM BOOM everytime you drop a bomb you kill the god your child was born

shackle there minds when theyre bent on the cross when ignorance reigns life is lost two of the best lines ever and the most true words spoken

[undericesinger]

politics and music don't mix, it is almost always left wing. I am not conservative, I hate the extremes of both powers, fuck politics and music, each extreme can't see the whole view, they are conceited and convinced they are solely right.

[DropkickMeElmo]

Serj does incredible interviews. God bless, man.

[HunSavage]

What happens when there's nothing to rage against?

[miangumo77]

they would probabbly sing about women or. tom morello would go back to audio slave, probabbly...

[stefanswe]

I doubt that will happen. Unless the world somehow becomes an utopia, then there's always gonna be something. Do not underestimate humans ability fo tuck things up

[simpleman11585]

then you are james taylor

[cynicaldemon]

"It made me go: shit man there are so many injustices out there"

Sounds pretty funny ^^

[FluffersTheFirst]

"Serj Tohn-ki-ohn and Tom Morello join us here tonight..."

[xx1994xxversion2]

wow i never knew these guys did anything in imokalee, i live in a town 2 minutes away from imokalee.

[imartarded]

what band?!?! its three guys from three different bands!!!

[oMeXeMo]

does ofu stand for oh fuck you?

[OFUMedia]

something like that! :)

[FluffersTheFirst]

haha XD

[666fetuseater99]

damn 3 legends in 1 room

gasp
