...
All right, trying not to be a b***h here, but...
You try doing almost the same thing, with the same people for almost ten years and tell me you don't need a break from the ordinary. Yes, we were all upset that they were going on hiatus. Hell, I was about ready to cry. but when we heard that Serj was coming out with a solo album, we all got excited because, well, it's Serj! Right now, Serj is in his prime! He was thinking about making this solo album for a long time, but how could he do that while still touring and making music with System? And there's also Daron's band, Scars on Broadway. Do you think he could do that while touring with System? Yes, they made awesome music while they were together. But, as four separate musicians, they need to express themselves as who they are individually, not as a band. We love System, and we were all sad when they went on hiatus, but look at all the new music they're making by themselves! Stop looking at System as one band, but as four separate musicians making fantastic music together, but now making still fantastic music by themselves. They said they would get back together after a while, and we're waiting for that day when they do, but until then, we're enjoying all of the great music they're putting out individually. If it pisses you off, just listen to their old albums until they get back together. Don't be hatin' on Serj.
EDIT: To answer your question directly, no, he didn't piss me off. He made me happy.

I agree with every point you've made here. i, too, was actually pleased to hear that the band were all doing their own solo work after their hiatus. And in all honesty, hearing they were on hiatus was a great relief ot me. I had heard they had broken up. To hear it was just a break relieved me. And besides, all the band members are finally getting the chance to really find themselves musically, and finally express themselves in their own ways. This yields great hope for the future of the band, as when they return, they'll all come bakc with a clearer understanding of themselves and each other on a musical and a personal level. I'm waiting in total anticipation to hear what they come out with, after they've really soul-searched and discovered what makes them who they are. There can be nothing but hope for the future of SOAD in this "seperation". It can't really be classified as seperation, so much as it should (in my opinion) be seen as a group effort to discover what lies within them, dormant, that personal essence that defines them as musicians, and has served to more than please their fans over this past decade and a half. Serj never pissed me off, nor has any other band member. But I could understand how this could dissapoint and/or frustrate someone else. I mean, it can be a bit disappointing to hear your favorite band is slowing down over the years. But I personally think it's something to be praised. I leave you to your own opinion and evaluation of the situation.

I agree with the other two posts here.
It wasn't Serj's fault the band went on a hiatus, it was all of them that agreed to it. They have been a band for a very long time and have put out FIVE albums together. Some of the music they come up with can't be expressed with the whole band, so just like Serj, they will be putting it out on their own. What are you going to say when Scars on Broadway come out with something, are you going to be pissed at them too? Just be happy there is System-related music being released. I pesronally love Serj's solo album and I'm looking forward to his next cd!

Yes, I was mad about the Scars on Broadway too. I believe that they should have done all of this before they got together though. I mean, in life what do you do. You are your own person until you get married or something. So then you are combined. I think if they wanted to do solo albums it should have been done years before they got together. I want to know myself before I rely on others. So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm angered at them all, not just Serj. And, I don't think Serj sounds good at all. I got the CD and hate it.

They all have grown up and matured a little bit, so they figured now would be a good time to release stuff on their own. They have been together for a very long time, so why can't they have a break from each other? I don't see anything wrong with that. They didn't really know they'd become famous or anything in the beginning, it was an experiment. Also, if System of a Down was never out there, who would have ever heard of "Serj Tankian"? Having the System background has really helped his marketing and selling of his cd. When I went to the concert, 90% of everyone wore System of a Down shirts. I guess I just don't see your logic behind why you are at all angry. Hell, I was upset when they went on a hiatus, but when I found out they were releasing stuff individually, I was sooo happy! They are happy! Why can't you be happy?

Do you really think that they could do that without System getting them famous? What if, like a lot of people in bands do, decided to make solo albums WHILE THEY WERE TOURING? Do you think Serj's new album would have sold as much as it did if he wasn't a part of System? Do you think Scars on Boadway will be famous if Daron and John hadn't been members of System? The point of all these questions, is, that if they had done all of their s**t before becoming System, it wouldn't have done half as good, because they don't have that background with them when they make it. And, if by some chance, they did become famous from solo albums and projects like Scars on Broadway before becoming System, then there would be NO SYSTEM OF A DOWN, because they're already famous with other bands.
The fact that you don't like Serj's album is your opinion, so I won't say anything about that.

Everyone else? Doesn't that include me? But, I am just saying my views and I didn't mean for you to get all 'your dumb because blah blah blah.' I mean, come on, do I not get to state what I think without everyone saying that I am wrong? Apparantly.

We never said that you were dumb. In fact, we all respect the fact that you don't like Serj's album. We were just stating our facts and our opinions next to yours. And, I apologize if I sounded like a b***h, but I stated what I thought was true, and so did Razzle and Darkknight. When you go and state any opinion, you are going to have people who disagree with you. Not just with us and this current opinion of yours, but any opinion that you put into play.

Serj as been a Solo artist before he joined System. So doing it on his own wasn't much of a difference for him. Daron and John are doing S.O.B. and Shavo is with Wu-Tang. I know Serj didn't do E.T.D. on his own. He did have help from John Daron and Shavo as well. I do remember that day, 2006's Ozzfest. I was there at West Palm Beach when they said 'Bye'. Yeah, tears rolled down my eyes and I did cry like a child but I know they need some time off. I saw it coming. Even tho E.T.D. still sounds like System in a whole new way.
My point is, System of a Down will live in all of their fans. If you don't like who they are when they're not togetter. You are not a true System fan.

YOU CAN NOT COME HERE AND TELL ME THAT I AM NOT A SOAD FAN BECAUSE OF MY VIEWS OF THEM APART! THEY ARE DIFFERENT WHEN THEY ARE NOT TOGEHER, SLIG! And, I realize you are telling me your views, everyone else, but most of you are telling me that my opinion is wrong and that is impossible.
