Serj Tankian Wants To Chuck A Metallica, Do An Orchestral Project With System Of A Down

Now that System Of A Down are back firing on all cylinders, it seems frontman Serj Tankian has some big plans for the band.
After SOAD surprise-dropped two brand new songs on us last month — their first new music in 15 years, mind you — it seems Tankian is now mulling over the possibility of reimagining some old classics with a symphony orchestra.

PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};
admiralCookie = null;
if (typeof readAdmiralCookie === “function”){
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();
}

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1608464592’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1608464592’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘A’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1608464592’);

if ((admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie[‘val’] === ‘false’) && (typeof(ezoicTestActive) === ‘undefined’)) {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1608464592’]]);
}

});

Chatting with Rolling Stone, the singer shared that he’d like to incorporate his work as both a classical composer and movie scorer with his job in SOAD
“Speaking of classical and System, one day — and I’ve told Daron [Malakian, guitarist] this — we should really do that,” Tankian said of the plan.
“We should arrange a classical version of some System songs and play them with a nice proper orchestra, like Metallica did, and like other artists have.”
He continued: “I think it would be uniquely different for System. Doing something crazy like ‘Chop Suey’ with an orchestra would be incredible… but fast. Really fast tempo. I’m talking about a badass orchestra going [sings ‘Chop Suey’ intro quickly]. Whatever we need to do. That would be insane.”
