Serj Tankian

Live at The Forum Inglewood,CA 2008

I believe we all know Serj Tankian from a band we call "System Of A Down". It all started with a song name Sugar , I was like this song is SICKKKKK! So I decided to check out the album which is "Toxicity" it was not the first album, but I believe it was the second album. That album was great it was kind of a new sound to me.

The 80s was known for it's Hair metal, the 90s for grunge, but 2000s was bringing something new, and that included System of A Down. I was pretty impressed by this band already, and I'm not that easily impressed I must say.


It was pretty heart breaking when you heard Serj Tankian went solo.I had heard his first single "Empty Walls" I was like okay Serj is doing his thing! I was definitely interested in his music and see what he can bring. Luckily, he was one of the opening acts for Foo Fighters , when I went to go see them live. Serj was wayyyyy better than Rise Against (my opinion) live! I definitely enjoyed the story telling between the songs he told to the crowd. Serj's voice is amazing !!!!! He sounds exactly the same BUT better.


Serj Tankian was born in Beirut,Lebanon of the year 1967. When he came to los angeles,CA he was only 8 years old. According to sources, He attended Cal State and learned the music works there. then later in 1994 Serj and few bandmates formed the famous System Of A Down in southern california.




The LAST album that was RELEASED was in September 2010, which is "Imperfect Harmonies".

The Virgins

Live at El Rey Theatre in 2007



I checked out The Virgins back in 2007 LIVE! The Virgins were part of the opening act for headliners Tokyo Police Club. To be quite honest I did not know of The Virgins when I saw them perform at that time, It was the very first opening act. I really did not know what to expect.I really didn't know much of their songs either. One thing I will admit is that their sound definitely sounds great.

I enjoyed the vocals and melodies for not knowing any of their music and lyrics. I like their show but I wouldn't say I loved it. My opinion is just that I feel they have potential of being GREAT but I feel that right now at the moment they're just OKAY to me , but like I said this is just my opinion.


One of my pet peeves is when I go see a live band and they don't interact with the crowd. If they don't interact during the show then it just sounds like a live CD being played, but when the band interacts with the crowd they bring the MUSIC to LIVE!

The Virgins is an american band formed in New York.According to sources The Virgins have toured with Iggy Pop, The Stooges, and Sonic Youth. They've
played at popular festivals such as SXSW and Lollapalooza.


Band Members: Donald Cumming ( guitar and vocals), Wade Oates (guitar),and Nick Ackerman (Bass)
