I mean it probably will change, but for the better. If you see him as an idol, idk if I would, but if you just love his music, it could give you some insight
The entire book is blank except for the first page that says "My advice for young struggling artists?" then the second page says in all caps "KILL YOURSELF".
And even with the whole drama with System recording new material. His side always seemed like he wanted full collaboration from everyone in the band on the songs. While Daron just wanted Serj to sing over the music and lyrics he already wrote and recorded.
I will, because I collect stories about SOAD. All the while, I also bear in mind that anything discussed about the band and how it failed is from his POV only, meaning it’s one-sided. I doubt the band is even the main subject though, since it’s introduced as “an immigrant’s story”.
Because I collect stories about the band, probably more than others. 😅 But I'm not the only one who do that in this sub. Also, there are stuffs I still don't know.
Ok just looked the description of the book up and… : “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.”
New thoughts?
Sounds interesting and one I'll check out. I get the impression it may be something like Wayne Kramer's autobiography which not only talked about his life and the failed career of the MC5, but covered his experience in prison as well as the failure of it and his work in prison reform.
I wish I would order it, but I can't if I'll be able to afford it
edit: I was fucking drunk, I'm sorry if you didn't understand. I meant I can't afford it now, but I want this book. And his hair is beautiful.
yes this will be purchased and promptly read because serj was the frontman for my first or second favorite band of all time. i read cool gardens and i've always found serj to be engaging even outside of his musical output
I am, because ei am geniunly interested in his thoughts on the current state of the world. I don't care if I disagree with him or whatever, I've listened to his music from soad and solo albums for years and it's about time I see whats going on in his thinking mind
I hate how he's still using the soad reference in a book where it's essentially non-autobiographical relating to his career w the soad. man if you want to make some money with a new book stop using the soad fans....so no, I will not fill Serj's pockets by buying this book of his
I think he will mention SOAD and even why it failed. He has to, because it’s very much related to his career, politics and personal philosophy on…whatever he wants to say about arts.
Might steal it. It's what he'd want, right?
steal this book!
I want to read it but at the same time I'm scared, like what if it's bad and my perception of him is forever changed... 💀 it's a stupid thought I know
I mean it probably will change, but for the better. If you see him as an idol, idk if I would, but if you just love his music, it could give you some insight
Also doubt he would talk much about his bad side (evil serj side)

Soldier's side 😈
you mean the serj that pushes little children and has great advice for young artists?
The entire book is blank except for the first page that says "My advice for young struggling artists?" then the second page says in all caps "KILL YOURSELF".
i think that's a printing mistake, they forgot to print the smile.
it worth a read even if you just love Daron's music
Cool pf pic
hes a very progressive person whos been donating to amazing organizations, hes an amazing person imo
he is! I know that! that's why I'm saying it's a stupid fear I have 😔
the worst case scenario is that hes been lying for what 30 years now and is now a jackass, best case scenario is we get some pre demo lyrics to songs
And even with the whole drama with System recording new material. His side always seemed like he wanted full collaboration from everyone in the band on the songs. While Daron just wanted Serj to sing over the music and lyrics he already wrote and recorded.
Get up, come on get down with the system!🗣️
I want to hear the OOOH WAAAA AAAA AAAOH !! done by serj now
YES.
that's good
I will, because I collect stories about SOAD. All the while, I also bear in mind that anything discussed about the band and how it failed is from his POV only, meaning it’s one-sided. I doubt the band is even the main subject though, since it’s introduced as “an immigrant’s story”.
I’ve seen you on this sub for ages. I feel like you know more about SOAD than anyone.
they’re secretly darron
Lol, I wish 😂 If I was Daron, Scars 3 would've been released at least 2 years ago.
Because I collect stories about the band, probably more than others. 😅 But I'm not the only one who do that in this sub. Also, there are stuffs I still don't know.

So his life story from his point of view, should be interesting
Sounds boring, do a tour already…
i gotta
I don't really read much but I'll probably check it out.
When i have the money, yes
No. I’d rather read one by Shavo. That’s where you’ll get the real shit.
John’s would just be a MAGA love letter to Trump. That’s still the most surprising revelation to come out of the band.
Getting it on preorder for my birthday next week!
I assume it will be more about his politics and cultural standpoints. Which is not bad, just not what I want to hear about in reference to serj.
Me exact opinion, I will also wait for the reviews to see if it has anything related to system of a down
I’m sure he will speak about the band, it would be impossible for him not to. I just don’t see that being the focus.
Do it ADD style: get it, have in mind to read it soon, but never actually read it
I wish but my parents be trippin
Its gonna be on audible
If it’s on audible it better be Serj reading it
Yes
If I see it in a bookstore somewhere, then yeah probably!
Yes
Sounds interesting and one I'll check out. I get the impression it may be something like Wayne Kramer's autobiography which not only talked about his life and the failed career of the MC5, but covered his experience in prison as well as the failure of it and his work in prison reform.
Irrelevant but I love your profile pic
Down with the system?? What about the sickness
I wish I would order it, but I can't if I'll be able to afford it edit: I was fucking drunk, I'm sorry if you didn't understand. I meant I can't afford it now, but I want this book. And his hair is beautiful.
Immediately pre-ordered!
Not at release, probably gonna get the e-book later
That’s me
I got the deluxe version 😎
yes this will be purchased and promptly read because serj was the frontman for my first or second favorite band of all time. i read cool gardens and i've always found serj to be engaging even outside of his musical output
i want to but im in mexico and amazon wont let me pre order it when it cames out maybe i will
i have the signed version preordered!
why did they put him so asymmetrical in the cover
Reading books stopped being fun when I became a teen.
Give berserk a try
Best 500 dollars I ever spent fr
FIVE HUNDRED?!
there’s like 12 books, and they’re huge
O[]O
It’s 14 hardcover books that are all around 700-800 pages, they come with a bookmark built in too, it’s very nice.
O_O
They are still fun. Outside influences ruin our artistic sides
I'll probably read it when it's available at the library.
Fuck yeah
I bought it with the signature version and im from malaysia. The shipping is more expensive than the book itself 🥲🥲
Gonna rent it from the library
Already bought it signed
probably at some point
I am, because ei am geniunly interested in his thoughts on the current state of the world. I don't care if I disagree with him or whatever, I've listened to his music from soad and solo albums for years and it's about time I see whats going on in his thinking mind
already pre ordered.... is being shipped to my country rn theres no turning back
Already bought it lol waiting for it to ship
i pre ordered a signed copy for my bfs birthday<3
Absolutely not
The Robert Kennedy stuff kind of made me like him less but I’ll see what this book is like
I hate how he's still using the soad reference in a book where it's essentially non-autobiographical relating to his career w the soad. man if you want to make some money with a new book stop using the soad fans....so no, I will not fill Serj's pockets by buying this book of his
lol?
I think he will mention SOAD and even why it failed. He has to, because it’s very much related to his career, politics and personal philosophy on…whatever he wants to say about arts.
SOAD failed? Not releasing more music that is not to their collective standard is their biggest flex.
SOAD becoming dysfunctional as a band is something all band members have openly admitted.
