For all of you who don't know, Serj Tankian is the former lead singer for System of a Down; is an activist for Armenian genocide awareness; and has recently released his first solo album, Elect The Dead.

Here is his single Empty Walls if you've never heard his music. It often deals with the government, and if you listen to the lyrics you'll see that he doesn't shy away from much. System Of A Down was known for this approach.

Here is some more background information

So my question is basically, what do you think of him?

This would include what you think of his music, his political ideas, and just about anything else.

In general, I'm a fan.

I enjoy his music, I agree with his political ideas, and I even think he wears his beard well.

I'm a huge system of a down fan and a huge Serj Tankian. I love his music and he's a great guy.

I love the song Empty Walls. He has an awkward voice tough.

he used to be good, I just kinda grew out of him, when I realized most of his songs were really whiny.

though I would have to say "sky is over" is a lot better than "empty walls".

I like them both, but I would agree that Sky Is Over is a bit better. I would have posted the link to that one, but YouTube doesn't have a good video for some reason.

I think that he's a pretty cool guy. I agree with most of his ideas politically, and I like how clear minded he seems to be. He doesn't let the media fool him, and can see how stupid humanity is really becoming. I also enjoy his music, he's one of my favorite musicians. If it wasn't for him I think that System Of A Down would not be nearly as popular as it is.
