The band was scheduled to play a number of European festivals this summer, but all of those shows appear to have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic which is sweeping the globe. SYSTEM OF A DOWN played a couple of live shows last May, including headlining slots at Columbus, Ohio's Sonic Temple festival and Chicago Open Air. "Everything became more public and open, and that was that. "I think it released a lot of tension and negativity," he said. Last year, Serj told Rolling Stone that the public airing of his dispute with Daron didn't open up any more conversations about SYSTEM's future. In a message on Facebook, Tankian wrote that Malakian wanted to control SYSTEM's creative process, take more of the publishing money and be the only band member to speak to the press.

"Everybody pretty much does their own thing, but that's been the way it's been since day one, so it's not like that changed," he said. A lot of it is their fault, but it's not just their fault."ĭolmayan also discussed SYSTEM OF A DOWN's touring acitivites and what it has been like traveling with his bandmates who don't always see eye-to-eye on things. I could just blame Daron and Serj, because, quite frankly, they're the primary songwriters, so it's easy to blame them. It takes four people to make this band, and it takes four people to unmake it.
