Meet Casey Chaos, former singer of the bands Disorderly Conduct and Christian Death. Currently the front-man for Amen, which he has been with since the 90s. In 2002, he bumped in to System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian when both bands were performing at the Big Day Out festival in Australia. The two would become good enough friends that in 2004 when Daron formed his own record label called EatUrMusic, he made Amen's Death Before Musick the label's first release.

The two would also collaborate briefly when Daron began working on his side-project Scars on Broadway. Daron and Casey both worked together on the initial writing stages for a song that would go on to be a Top 40 hit, although it would not be a Top 40 hit for a Scars on Broadway band featuring Casey Chaos. Instead, the song became "B.Y.O.B." which is one System of a Down's biggest hits.

Malakian allegedly brought the material over to work with Serj Tankian after his relationship with Casey had cooled off a bit. Casey was understandably upset, and when Daron Malakian offered him a 2% writing credit on the song, he demand a higher cut. Daron withdrew his offer and Casey would later take him to court in order to settle the issue.

However, the lawsuit would not go in Casey's favor. As U.S. District Judge Robert W Sweet would state that events surrounding the conception of the song were... (Watch to learn more)

System of a Down blend a unique mix of styles to form what is essentially their own sound. And while many might correctly assume that the band are heavily influenced by heavy metal artists, guitarist Daron Malakian explains that their influences span a variety of genres across multiple decades.

"I listen to a lot of s***, all the time... including a lot of Sixties pop that I've been listening to in the past few years, which has been kind of bleeding through my writing, without losing touch with a lot of the other things that make up System of a Down."

"You can't put your finger on the Darkthrone influence and say, 'There's Darkthrone,' and you can't put your finger on the Kinks and say, 'There's the Kinks!' But you can see all that kind of happening somewhere. Like, if I pointed out the chorus for 'Kill Rock n' Roll' — that melody line is very old Motown. I didn't know that when I was writing it, but after time went on I was like,'Wow, that's old Motown!' Because I'd been listening to the Supremes, the Marvelettes, and stuff like that."

In addition to Motown, Daron drew significant inspiration from his discovery of some of The Beatles lesser known hits.

“Then when I was 17 or 18 years old, my life completely changed, and I attribute that to the Beatles. As a kid, the Beatles were just some band that older people listened to, and they sang stuff like ‘Twist and Shout,’ which I wasn’t interested in because I was into metal. But later on I bought a Beatles greatest-hits CD and heard s*** like ‘Strawberry Fields Forever,’ and it really changed my life.

Meet Shavo Odadjian, guitaris... uh, I mean bassist for System of a Down. You can typically recognize him by his long braided beard. Although he doesn't sing, you can see him dancing around on stage with his bass.

"I'm a food connoisseur... Steak? F*** yeah — every day, I'll have it. I'll have it for dinner and lunch!"

- Odadjian, Inside System of a Down's Epic Outraged Double Album..., Dan Epstein, Revolver (May 1, 2005)
https://www.revolvermag.com/music/inside-system-downs-epic-outraged-double-album-mezmerizehypnotize

However, despite his happy-go-lucky exterior, Shavo admits that he has had his own struggles with depression.

"I'm finally just enjoying everything, instead of always being f****** pissed off or sad or worried, you know? Don't make me look like that guy from the Cure... but I was always worried about everything. But these were deep things, man. No one could see it." - Odadjian, Inside System of a Down's Epic Outraged Double Album..., Dan Epstein, Revolver (May 1, 2005)

"They were like, 'Dude, you're a bass player who plays better guitar than bass. What the hell is wrong with you?'"

Have you ever found yourself at a Shakey's Pizza in Southern California, crying your eyes out while celebrating a childhood birthday party with visions of hearing yourself on the radio one day? Well guitarist Daron Malakian has, minus the crying.

As he explains his inspiration for the lyrics of "Radio / Video"

When System of a Down went in to the studio to begin working on their fourth and fifth studio albums, they went with none other than the legendary Rick Rubin to return as producer. Why not? He had already produced all three of the band's other full length albums.

While some artists have been outspoken in their criticism for Rick Rubin's methods, System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian has always felt that Rick utilized the right balance of hands-on versus hands-off production methods, giving the band plenty of freedom to do their own thing.

“When we were making the first album... I was afraid to open my mouth in the studio, because it was like, Wow, we got the legendary Rick Rubin! That was never Rick’s trip; it was more my take..."

As usual, when a band works with Rick Rubin, they are often invited to stay in Rubin's mansion during the recording process. This has lead to a number of ghost stories being told by various artists who have stayed there and claimed to have had supernatural encounters. Including Corey Taylor of Slipknot, who claimed to see a ghost walk through his room despite no one else being there.

Malakian, would also notice some strange things happening.

“Some weird stuff did happen... Every day around five o’clock my amps would take a s***. Same time every day, this weird noise came out of my amp. We’d check the tubes and everything, and it would all be fine. So it was a little strange there, especially when you went downstairs into the laundry room. You go down these small, winding steps, and it was kinda dark and cold down there. Creepy..."

Meet John Dolmayan, drummer for System of a Down. Like a lot of drummers, John is not a flashy guy compared to his counterparts. John embraces the role as the unsung hero, and foundation for a band filled with guys who like this... Its almost as if they were cartoon characters who got a hold of some pixie dust and came to life. While John may look like an awesome rock music fan you might bump in to on the street, among his band-mates he looks rather... well, normal.

"I'm not a songwriter, and I'm not a soloist, but I'm the meat and potatoes of the band. I don't care about fame. I care about playing drums. And that's why System's a perfect fit for me."

Drummer John Dolmayan and Guitarist Daron Malakian don't always see eye to eye, and the two actually came to throwing blows at each other during the Toxicity sessions. The incident was so bad that they both end up going to the hospital but fortunately they both had good friends who helped take them there... each other.

However, John explains that despite their disagreements, their conflicts are a byproduct of two passionate individuals who only want the best for their band.

System of a Down may have only released 5 full length albums in their multi-decade history as a band, but those albums have not been short on music by any means. Can you imagine a world where System of a Down only released three albums? Steal This Album was only released because the band had so much extra material left after completing somewhere around 44 songs for the Toxicity recording sessions. When the band returned to the studio to begin work on their fourth album, it quickly became clear that they would again have enough material to fill two albums worth of music.

As drummer John Dolmayan explains,

"There was so much good material... We were all like, 'Man, what are we gonna do with this? How can we take this body of work and just cut it?' It's like cutting a quarter of your body off — which quarter do you pick?"

Singer Serj Tankian would agree that the material would be best released in two parts, rather than bombarding the listener with an extensive track listing on one album.

"I remember one day sitting down and listening to 30 songs in a row in the studio with Rick, and I was done — I was exhausted! I couldn't listen to another song, and I kept on thinking, I can't imagine someone having to go through this!"

"Our songs are pretty progressive and all over the place and high energy and all that, and with people's short attention spans, it's like you definitely have to focus on the songs, enjoy them and get another one a bit later."

Guitarist Daron Malakian would concur that people's attention spans are way too short these days and that releasing too many songs at once would cause some of them to get lost in the shuffle.

“People’s a..

Nearly all background music used in my videos is my own. I started experimenting with ambient music production during the pandemic to help myself relax. It never turned in to a career but it was a fun hobby and gave me a nice catalog of background music to use in my videos. I still continue to produce music from time to time.

Most people are familiar with Serj Tankian as the lead singer of System of a Down. However, on Hypnotize and Mesmerize, the band wanted guitarist Daron Malakian's vocals to play a much larger role. Serj would also take a small step back, allowing Daron to contribute more of his lyrics to the writing process as well.

Serj would include that he wants others to appreciate both songwriters beyond their traditional roles within the band.

While fans of the band may have seen Daron's vocal contributions as an evolution of the band, Daron would see it as a return to form. Noting that he had always been involved in the lyrical process and was actually a lead singer when the duo first started working together.

"Old School Hollywood" is one of few System of a Down songs to utilize heavy synthesizer effects. It's also just about the only System of a Down song which talks about baseball.

The song was written by guitarist Daron Malakian after taking part in an annual Hollywood Stars' exhibition game hosted by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Malakian was a lifelong Dodger fan and was initially excited about the opportunity. Who wouldn't be excited to play baseball with other celebrities in a stadium where they grew up watching their favorite athletes perform?

"I've been going to Dodgers games since I was a kid... I can't believe I'm going to take batting practice and play baseball on the field at Dodger Stadium. This really is a dream come true for me."
