Serj Tankian & Bad Acid Trip Interview (Ozzfest 2006)

part 1:

Serj Tankian:

I'm not feeling sad right now. I'm really enjoying this tour. I'm really enjoying hanging out with all these guys. It's honestly been the most fun System tour I've ever been on. That's kind of really appealing to me, and it's gone by pretty quickly. So, I'm excited about the prospects of what else there is down the line, each of the guys with their own stuff, myself... We all need time to do that and when the time comes if we're all comfortable with coming back and doing this together, System will always be there for us.

part 2:

Serj Tankian:

It's hard to really explain, but I've done a lot of songs. I have a lot of songs for it already, and I'm... It's going to be rock, mostly rock, and different -- different than System, but I think it will have a lot of the truth telling that System has, and potency that it has, represented in a different way. That's really all I can say.

part 3:

Serj Tankian:

Serart was a collaboration that I did with Arto Tuncboyaciyan, and that was more of an improvisational record. We did the whole record in seven days, just walk in and do a whole record from scratch. And that was really fun. That would be more something to use for films or world music type of sphere. This would be more rock.

part 4:

Serj Tankian:

It depends. There have been some situations where I've done some production, but generally what I like to do with everyone that we're working with is to just listen to the songs and give my own two cents, and then let them decide what they want to do and have them go for it. I always like to hear and then give my two cents on it because it's an extra bouncing board for them. And I do the same with songs that I write with them, for them to hear songs. Because when you have artists that you mutually respect you want to hear what they're up to and you want them to hear what you're up to and get a feedback, an honest feedback and that's always good.

Part 5:

Dirk Rogers:

Each of us are artists in our own right. We all have our own ideas so we're already creating art that goes to the side or whatever, and you say, 'This would be good for this event or this idea.' As far as the concept for the album, we have to hear the album before we can come up with the artwork. We would want the artwork to be part of that music in some respect, especially with this new album because it's going to be a clean slate for us with hopefully all new songs. I don't think you can really come up with the artwork prior to hearing the album. I mean not the finished album, but at least how the songs are going to come out. We all know how they sound in our head, but they could all change and the art would change with that, so...
