We really, really liked Coal Chamber's self-titled debut. We really, really do not like this. One of nu-metal's most famous cases of a sophomore slump, the band runs away from the silliness and giant riffs that made them popular on their first record in favor of something more serious, more professional, and less nu-metal. It turns out they are not very good at that. Bryan takes us back to hearing this album for the first time in 1999 and hating it instantly, giving us insight into being a Coal Chamber fan in the moment and not just now, in 2025. Unfortunately, it also sucks now, and the articles don't help the band either, as it's a wild collection of quotes about not wanting to be compared to Korn, writing "happy" music, and showcasing a band that was clearly at odds with each other over their sound. We are happy to announce the first-ever P.O.D. Kontest! We are giving away two sets of 2 General Admission passes for all 4 days of the Sonic Temple Music Festival! Head on over to patreon.com/thepodkast for all the details. While you're there, you can check out all of our bonus content, including last month, where we welcomed the CEO of Nu-Metal himself, HolidayKirk, to break down Serj Tankian's also-misguided attempt at seriousness, "Elect the Dead Symphony". You'll get immediate access to our entire back catalogue of over 150 bonus episodes, access to our Discord, and MORE! Join today!

Matt & Chris are back with another segment of Aftershocks TV, diving into Daron Malakian's recent comments. The System Of A Down guitarist revealed he is no longer interested in writing new music for SOAD. After 20 years since their last full-length album, Malakian plans to focus his creative energy on Scars On Broadway instead. This announcement adds to the growing tension between him and SOAD's lead vocalist, Serj Tankian. Although Tankian had previously expressed openness to creating new music, the two musicians have struggled to align on the direction of the band. Despite the ongoing divide, SOAD fans can look forward to 15 scheduled show dates around the world. Tune in as Matt & Chris unpack these developments and explore what this means for the future of System Of A Down.#DaronMalakian #SystemOfADown #ScarsOnBroadway #SerjTankian #AftershocksTV #MusicNews #RockTalk #Guitarists #MusicDrama #SOAD #BandTension #NewMusicDebate #MusicOpinionsNOTE: Everything said here, and on every episode of all of our shows are 100% the opinions of the hosts.

Wake up!It's Week 5 in the college football world, and we at False Start could not be happier about it.As Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) presumably got up close and personal with Old Faithful, John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) welcomed back the Penguin of Troy herself Alicia de Artola Castillo (Editor, FanSided.com) to the program.Alicia and Buhler then previewed a handful of intriguing games for Week 5. From Alabama-Georgia, to Illinois-Penn State, to Louisville-Notre Dame, to Oklahoma State-Kansas State, it's all there.Also, the Mountain West is falling to pieces with Pac-12 poaching happening and UNLV falling apart at the seams from a personnel standpoint only four weeks in.Plus, Oklahoma made a quarterback change and we had some thoughts about it.To finish up the show, Alicia and Buhler played Just Like Novocaine with System of a Down. Just like Serj Tankian's SOAD lyrics, this episode was all over the place!

System of a Down's Serj Tankian looks ahead to the release of his next solo EP, 'Foundations,' and explains the role his Toyota Prius played in the music.

This week, Henno and Bryan discuss life, vacations, Harmonica Festival, procrastination, Down With The System by Serj Tankian, and how the art is the journey, not the finished product.   Helpful links: Suicide Prevention Lifeline dial 988 or 1-800-273-8255 https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ https://www.crisistextline.org/ Text HOME to 741741 for help https://www.nami.org/NAMI/media/NAMI-Media/Helpline/NAMI-National-HelpLine-WarmLine-Directory.pdf Call 211 for help or go to 211.org https://coda.org/ https://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/ translifeline.org Trans Lifeline 1-877-565-8860   Ways to contact the show: Website: Thecrazylifepodcast.weebly.com E-mail: thecrazylifepodcast@outlook.com Twitter/X: @thecrazylifepod Bryan's Twitter: @stewnami or @salty_language Henno's Twitter: @idahenno Henno's Fb/Instagram Henno Heitur Bryan's Other Podcast: saltylanguage.com Bryan's Blog: https://stewnami.wordpress.com/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/crazylifepodcast/ iHeart Radio: http://www.iheart.com/show/263-The-Crazy-Life/ Google Play: http://thecrazylife.libsyn.com/gpm Blubrry: https://www.blubrry.com/the_crazy_life/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2irC3XxOJMEuzKtWliHiBM tangentboundnetwork.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-crazy-life/id1008617039 Stitcher: http://goo.gl/BDeUCZ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrj15dasmUUfzZz3Oeu_9uA TuneIn:  https://tunein.com/podcasts/Mental/The-Crazy-Life-p1149126/   Intro Music is "Life Sux" by Henno

Serj Tankian, lead singer of the heavy metal band “System Of A Down.” Tankian founded the group in 1997, releasing five studio albums, three of which debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200.  His solo career also includes work as a painter, composer and filmmaker.  The musician's new book is called Down with the System: A Memoir (of Sorts).On July 21st, 2024, Tankian came to the KQED studios in San Francisco to talk to Zack Ruskin about music and activism – particularly his work in support of Armenia, his ancestral homeland. 

Today's guest makes me feel so excited and I just can't hide it. It's The Pointer Sisters. No. No it's not. Please welcome David Hakopyan of Antenna The End. And I have to thank Jamie Park and Teen Cancer America for connecting us.  David grew up in one of the biggest Armenian communities in the world outside of Armenia, itself. He was influenced equally by rock and Armenian folk music. But music wasn't always his focus. For a while as a teen, he thought he might be an illustrator. He was the counterfeit Pushead guy in his school. And if that doesn't make sense, it will after you listen. Or go look up Pushead. He got serious about music when he started playing in an Armenian, revolutionary, folk, alternative rock band with Serj Tankian called Forever Young. After cheating on that band with another, he started Soil with Serj and Daron Malakian. David discusses the one and only live show they played and its biggest pitfall.  David and his bands, like Apex Theory & Mt. Helium, have always been hyper-focused on sounding original, to the point of making sure no one was listening to the big rock stations in LA. They'd do spot checks on each others' radios. David's new band is Antenna The End. And you can absolutely tell that it's David's band. He started writing after the kinds of personal issues that get a guy writing music. He also tells me when he came up with the band's unique name. The debut EP will be out soon, but David gives us a sneak peak at the music and stories behind the band's formation and the music he's created. Check them out @antennatheend on Instagram & Facebook. Keep an eye out for the EP release in early August. And give him a call at…you know what, don't do that. BUT, follow us @PerformanceAnx on Instagram & Twitter. Reach out, we don't bite.

Gaerea are gearing up to make a major announcement and we are excited to be a part of it! On this week's episode of The MetalSucks Podcast, we have an interview with Gaerea to discuss the band's next chapter, the release of their latest single “World Ablaze,” and how it was liberating to put that song out into the world. We also chat about the process that went into finding an identity in the heavy metal world and fighting to make sure it's not a toxic environment. Gaerea is nearing its 10th anniversary as a band, so the conversation took a bit of an introspective turn as we discuss how they want to continue making art, how they wish they can have the artistic talent of drawing, and how they're being more comfortable with the idea of letting some of the mystique of Gaerea slide so they can connect with fans at live shows. Petar and Sylvia discuss Serj Tankian's indifference if System Of A Down continues without him, Armored Saint vocalist John Bush giving Metallica praise for taking chances in their career, Nikki Sixx responding to criticism over Motlëy Crüe's single “Dogs of War”, and Oxbow breaking up in a way that just plain sucks.

Serj Tankian, the lead singer of Grammy award-winning System of a Down is no ordinary rock star. He has refused to stick to music and has used his celebrity megaphone to further social justice.

Powerhouse personality and vocalist Lzzy Hale is back on the podcast! We are here to celebrate Halestorms's co-headlining North American Tour with I Prevail running from July 9th all the way to August 17th. We also discuss Halestorm keeping the same members for 21 years, some of the secrets of maintaining positive relationships with bandmates, her love for animals of all kinds since because of her upbringing, the story of some diehard fans delivering letters to her on tour and the impact it brought her, being brave in the world not negating being terrified to put yourself out there, having to explain her music when she was 13 years old to a principal, and paying it forward in a recent tour with The Warning. Petar and Sylvia discuss the release of the first new song for The Black Dahlia Murder following the tragic passing of Trevor Strand, how proud we are of the metal community showering the track with positivity, also we talk about Serj Tankian's comments on what it would take to make a new System of A Down Record, and Dennis Lyxzén of Refused giving us a huge health scare this week.

Serj talks with Maggie about his new book Down With The System: A Memoir (of Sorts)  In DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM, Serj presents readers with a memoir that is far more than just a rock 'n' roll fable. It's an immigrant's tale, it's an activist's awakening, and it's a spiritual journey from darkness toward light. And all of this comes down to the fact that Serj himself has had the chance to live an extraordinary life—thanks to a combination of luck, circumstance, struggle, talent, and spiritual awakening. Braiding together Serj's thought-provoking insight with heartfelt and poetic prose, DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM retraces Serj's remarkable and unlikely journey, and explores what it's taught him—about music, about art, about activism and about himself. It's an unforgettable ride that will leave you breathless—and an absolute delight for new fans and old ones alike. An exhilarating, thoughtful, and beautifully written debut memoir by musician, songwriter, and lead singer-lyricist of Grammy award-winning metal band, System Of A Down, Serj Tankian. Check out Maggie's first interview with Serj Tankian from October of 2020.Serj Tankian On The Conflict In Armenia And The War With Artsakh And Azerbaijanhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1798623/episodes/9231906Source: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/serj-tankian/down-with-the-system/9780306831928/?lens=hachette-booksSource: https://serjtankian.com/Source: https://kavatcoffee.com/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

Serj Tankian is best known for being the frontman for System of a Down, an activist and now an author with his new memoir “Down with the System.” We talk about the early years of SOAD, how he felt about nu-metal, his past life as a software entrepreneur, unreleased SOAD songs and the one thing it would take for the band to put out a new album. Also, people used to scream “wake up” at him n the street because of their song “Chop Suey” so I find out if they are still doing that, what bands he'd love to tour with, his thoughts on new artists like, how he ended up doing a song for the Godzilla movie.  Speaking of movies, will his memoir be turned into a movie one day? Serj also has a new solo EP called Foundations coming out soon, but the first single “A.F Day” is out now. Serj told me that the song was written in the early days of SOAD and the vocals on the track are actually the original vocals from 25 years ago. So be sure to give that a stream when you're done here and of course check out the book.

Serj Tankian is a Grammy-award-winning artist best known for being the frontman of System Of A Down. His powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics helped the group achieve wild success, including over 40 million records sold worldwide, multiple platinum albums, more than a billion YouTube plays, and multiple Grammy nominations (winning Best Hard Rock Performance in 2006 for "B.Y.O.B."). Beyond System Of A Down, Tankian has released five solo albums (Elect the Dead, Imperfect Harmonies, Harakiri, Orca, Jazz-Iz-Christ, and Elasticity), composed music for film and television (Body of Lies, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields, among many more), and been a prominent activist for human rights, environmental issues, and causes related to his Armenian heritage (In 2011, he was awarded the Armenian Prime Minister's Medal for his significant contributions to the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide). His book Down with the System: A Memoir (of Sorts)—which shares his extraordinary life story, from his childhood in war-torn Beirut and his family's move to Los Angeles, to his decision to pursue music and his rise to fame as the lead singer of System—is out now!   ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra ------ Lucy https://lucy.co/tetra ------ LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra ------ House of Macadamias https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/tetra

System of a Down's Serj Tankian dives deep into his new memoir, 'Down With the System,' shares stories and discusses System's future.

System of a Down's Serj Tankian grew up hearing stories about his family members who died during the Armenian genocide, many years before he was born. In his new memoir “Down With the System,” he shares his family's story and looks back on his career through the lens of his Armenian heritage. Serj joins Tom to talk about the origins of his activism, how System of a Down got on the radio, and whether or not you'll ever hear new music from the band.

Musician Serj Tankian, best known as front man for System Of A Down, chats with Trey Elling about DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM: A MEMOIR (OF SORTS). Topics include: His family in the Armenian Genocide (0:00) The Lebanon Civil War (4:48) Being an immigrant kid (7:38) The music epiphany (10:32) Dad's helpful advice (13:11) "System Of A Down" meaning (15:05) Rick Rubin (16:47) His first visit to Armenia (19:47) Criticizing the US, post-9/11 (21:31) Spurning the Grammys (24:55) B.Y.O.B.

This week's show features an awesome interview with Joseph Rowland of the mighty Pallbearer! During our chat, we hear all about the new album Mind Burns Alive out this Friday, May 17. We also discuss the band's approach of embracing the “quiet” on many of the songs, the comfort he feels in creating in music in an isolated space, and the approach they take on artwork for album covers. Things also take a turn for the philosophical, as the concept of “fate” comes up, how these days the truth requires compromise to communicate, the power of communication through music, longevity of creating art versus popular content, and the battle with being addicted the our phones. Petar and Sylvia discuss the passing of Steve Albini, the lesson he leaves behind with his approach as a engineer for heavy music, the return of Kittie with their first full length album in 13 years, Serj Tankian's comments on only wanting to do short tours for the fans, and Kerry King just needing to be a little less upfront of his conversation with Tom Araya.

My guest this week is Grammy-nominated producer-engineer-scoring mixer Jason LaRocca, who has recorded and mixed music for major motion pictures, games and television. Known for mixing the score of "The Lord of The Rings: Rings of Power" series, Marvel's "Morbius" and more, Jason recently mixed the Grammy-nominated albums "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" and the "God of War: Ragnarok" soundtrack. He has also recorded and mixed for such top recording artists as Jay-Z, CeeLo Green, Fiona Apple, Schoolboy Q and Serj Tankian, of System of a Down. Jason was guest back on podcast #441 a couple of years ago, but I thought I'd have him back to give us an update about what's going on in television, gaming and film mixing. During the interview we spoke about the enormous number of tracks required to record Sweeny Todd, the differences between mixing a Broadway record and a game soundtrack, whether automation or clip gain is faster, his approach to immersive mixing, mixing trends in film and TV, and much more. I spoke with Jason from his studio in Los Angeles.  On the intro I looked at why the vinyl record backlog has decreased, and hit songs that almost didn't make the album.
