Every song I've written is luck, I think; it's luck - 'How did that just happen?'
From Daron Malakian
I would never cancel a tour unless I had real reasons and personal things that require my undivided attention.
I like structuring verses, choruses, but sometimes the verses might be a tango and the choruses might be death metal.
How does a band like System of a Down get big?
Music is pretty much all I do.
I don't understand some of the music I hear on MTV or the radio, because they don't mention the times we live in. They have nothing to do with nothing.
My dad is my biggest influence on me as a musician, even though he's not a musician.
I don't think when I'm doing music. Things just happen. I've even taken my clothes off while performing. But then I'm so shy that I can't even take my clothes off in the dressing room, even though it's just the other guys in the band in here with me. It's really weird.
Whatever I write has to evolve around my taste in music at that moment, because that always changes.
In Glendale, where I live, there's a street called Broadway. The bottoms of the light posts have swastikas on them.
