System Of A Down has performed 9 exhibits this decade, ten for those who’re together with their upcoming Californian show with Deftones and The Mars Volta. So what’re the prospect we get a correct System Of A Down tour someday sooner or later? It is likely to be a brief tour, but it surely’s potential!
In line with System Of A Down vocalist Serj Tankian in an interview with actor Rainn Wilson for LiveSigning, the prospect of shorter excursions or a handful of one-off exhibits is far more fascinating.
“I really like performing, however particularly the lengthy [tours]… I feel while you do an extended tour, it isn’t simply bodily exhausting, but it surely’s artistically redundant after some time, repeating the identical factor. That is why we’re actually having fun with doing these one-offs. They’re particular occasions, particular events. We will not do them in all places. We will not do them on a regular basis. However performing turns into enjoyable once more in a means. And I had type of misplaced that.
“And never simply due to that motive, however I additionally had some again issues, again surgical procedure and issues that have been hindering me from performing. I am a lot better now. I train higher, all of that stuff, so loads of that is been labored out. So far as touring someplace within the close to future? Probably, I’d say. I imply, I am open to stuff, however not thrilled about doing lengthy excursions in any respect, wherever, simply one-offs, or perhaps a handful of one-offs with dates in between, personally.”
Tankian additionally touched on his relationship with everybody else in System Of A Down, noting that all of them nonetheless respect one another regardless of some nasty feedback surfacing within the press over time.
“Let me first say that [Tankian‘s upcoming book Down With The System] goes into very detailed explanations of {our relationships}. But it surely additionally talks about a number of the origination of songs and all of that. However one factor that I wanna make clear is, regardless of a few of our inventive variations, which has occurred over time, which is sort of regular inside a band, and the push and pull of songwriting and thematics and path and all of that stuff — once more, all inventive variations — we now have immense respect for one another.
“We simply performed a present known as Sick New World in Las Vegas this final weekend. We had a blast. And it is a type of issues the place life is sophisticated, and relationships, partnerships are sophisticated. They do not work completely. However there’s a sure particular factor, bond, particularly with System Of A Down, that I can by no means replicate elsewhere.”
