I looked and searched but couldn't find anything :]

SOAD haven't broken up, but they are taking a break so Serj has gone solo for a bit.
I just reckon he has a lot to say and its just inspirational. <3

In May 2006, the band announced they were going on hiatus. Daron Malakian has confirmed the break will probably last a few years, but it was Shavo who in an interview with Guitar magazine said it will last at least 3 years, but insists that the band would not be splitting up. He told MTV, "We're not breaking up. If that was the case, we wouldn't be doing this Ozzfest. We're going to take a very long break after Ozzfest and do our own things. We've done System for over ten years, and I think it's healthy to take a rest."

During their performance in Houston, Texas, Malakian also took a moment to say, "There's been a lot of rumors about us breaking up. Well don't fuckin' listen to them. Us four right here, we will always be System of a Down!"

Shavo Odadjian recently told Launch Radio Networks that System of a Down is "alive and well".

"We're just not working together right now. We kind of like split up at first, but you know, we're brothers, man, we'll take bullets for each other. So it's like, you kind of miss each other after a while and you, one guy makes the first move, then another starts making phone calls....this is a juggernaut, man. System of a Down is my lifeline. It'll never go away. We could not make a record for 10 years — that's not gonna happen, but I'm just saying we could — and we'll come back strong."

Thank god for Wikipedia. Yes

Serj is wonderful, I loved him with System of a Down and I think his solo work is good too. It's nice that a musician as talented and intelligent as him has the popularity/noteriety he has in mainstream music as well, you don't see that too often with people who have more radical ideas like his.

I love how he was something to say and isn't afraid to say it, while at the same time doesn't step over the line of being aggressive or forceful. He's very respectful I think. :]

I saw his cd at the store once; I'm not too sure how he sounds like but I will have a listen later. I like his voice though.


Thank goodness SOAD is just having a break.

Someone should correct the name of the topic.
His name is spelled wrong. It's Tankian. Not Tankien.

I love his music. And SOAD.
Their raw energy is amazing.
Especially live.
