an Armenian-American who was born in Beirut, Serj Tankian never seems to

multi-platinum American rock band System of a Down, is currently touring
as a solo artist in support of his album "Elect the Dead," which peaked at #4 on

there, I saw that the line went around the corner about a block and thought,
"man, there's no way i'm getting close to the front this time." I waited for
about an hour for the doors to open, in the meantime I talked with a few other
fans and saw cigarosmoker, who's a member on this site. |
