If you ask
for a person who inspires me I surely will say Serj Tankian.
He is
musician, composer, producer and recently a poet.
Serj
Tankian was born in Beirut, Lebanon but he and his parents moved to Los
Angeles, CA. he went to an Armenian-American School where he met his friends
Malakian and Odadjian, and then they formed a band call soil, after years
system of a down.
Serj Tankian
has released 8 albums:
-5 when he
was in System of a Down
-System of a Down (1998).- from my
point of view the best songs from this album are: “sugar”, “suggestions”, “spiders”,
and “war?”
-Toxicity (2001).-best songs: “Chop
suey”(the most known), “Toxicity”, “prison song”, “atwa” and my favorite “aerials”.
-Steal this album (2002).- “innervision”
and “boom”.
-Mezmerize (2005)This album had the
best songs: “B.Y.O.B.”, “cigaro”, “revenga”, “question”, and “sad statue”.
-Hypnotize (2005) actually all the
songs in this album are good, just for mention some: “attack”, “hypnotize” and
the softest song ever from s.o.a.d “lonely day”.
-2 solo
albums: all the songs in these albums are written and performed totally by Serj
- Elect the Dead (2007) Best songs:
“Empty walls”, “sky is over”, “saving us”, “feed us” and “lie, lie, lie”.
-Imperfect Harmonies (2010): “Left
of center” and “yes, its genocide”.
-And 1 with
Serart; in 2011 he release his book “Glaring Through Oblivion”
Serj is the 26th in “the top 100 metal vocalist of all time”.
In his
songs Serj talk about drugs, politics, war, and discrimination, all in its good
way, he always support programs to help people, animals even programs to
improve our environment , that’s why Serj Tankian is a big influence for me.
