The 6 Hours That Destroyed System Of A Down

This week, we explore the chaotic rise and prolonged hiatus of System of a Down, the Armenian-American metal band that defied the industry in the late 90s and 2000s. From their strategic naming to be alphabetically next to Slayer to the notorious 2001 Hollywood parking lot riot that foreshadowed their explosive success, we uncover the history behind *Toxicity* and their double album coup of *Mezmerize* and *Hypnotize*. We dive into the creative tensions between Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian, the secret auditions that nearly replaced the singer, and the stubborn standoff that has kept them from releasing new material for over 15 years. If you love stories of rock bands imploding at their peak, this is one you won’t want to miss. Kindly like and subscribe – it really helps this channel a lot. I do appreciate it!

Kind folks who want to support the channel – I’d rather you actually have something in return for it. Something killer. Something that puts you heads and shoulders above the rest. So I have this:
This VST plugin, The Stereo Sound Extractor, is BADASS -I coded it up from over 10 year’s hard research. It won awards. Now you can own it for the paltry sum of $29. Yup, I’m basically giving it away: https://burninguitfiddle.gumroad.com/l/rbiuu
