System of a Down is the music that I wanted to buy but couldn't find at the store. It's the band I wanted to be a fan of. Daron Malakian bandbuyfan Change image and share on social
I guess you'd say I'm a gearhead. It's not just guitars; I have five or six drum sets, a bunch of keyboards... It's like Guitar Center exploded, and all the cool stuff dropped in my backyard. I'm a really lucky guy, I have to admit. Daron Malakian admitbackyardbunch share on social

I don't understand some of the music I hear on MTV or the radio, because they don't mention the times we live in. They have nothing to do with nothing. Daron Malakian hearlivemention Change image and share on social

As a musician, I don't think I'm the greatest guitar player. I'm a bigger fan of the drums than I am the guitar; I just happen to play guitar. I play drums almost every day at my house. I wrote a lot of songs behind the drum kit, just having the music and vocals in my head and playing the rhythm. Daron Malakian bigdaydrum share on social
