Publisher Description
The incredible first memoir by System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian
With nearly 40 million record sales, three albums topping the Billboard charts, a Grammy win and a legion of fans, System Of A Down are one of the biggest metal bands on the planet. At their core has always been Serj Tankian, whose journey from the streets of Beirut to rock superstardom is as remarkable and unlikely as you'll get.
By dint of luck, circumstance, struggle, and more than a little talent, Serj has had the chance to live an extraordinary life. In Down With the System, he retraces this remarkable and unlikely journey, and explores what it's taught him - about music, about art, about activism, and about himself. From teaming up with Tom Morello to push social justice causes on unsuspecting metalheads, arguing with LAPD officers over the best way to quell his rioting fans, and traveling with Anthony Bourdain through Armenia one meal at a time, Down With the System is an immigrant's tale, an activist's awakening, and rock memoir unlike any other.
Customer Reviews
I’m not a system fan I just saw this book on top pix
Basically, it was recommended in a for you section and I do like music bios but was hesitant but seeing a system of a down T-shirt on a mannequin while buying band shirts in one of my local clothing stores made me reconsider so I bought the book just under 10 days ago and serjos book is part a history textbook the other half a music section and that’s what most books are.. coated in history that’s how you learn during after school boys and girls ladies and gents and serj my man your a top tier Activus along with John Lennon bono Zack del rocha and frank Zappa I laughed out loud when serj named frank as a musical hero it makes sense because I said to myself he looks like Frank Zappa and namedropping Frank is honouring your grandpa Frank serj lol love everything about the book
Serj !
