System Of A Down have been a politically charged band over the years, but members of the group have had drastically different views in recent times. Frontman Serj Tankian has continued to be critical of Donald Trump, while drummer John Dolmayan has continued to show his support for the current administration. Despite this, Dolmayan has insisted that the band’s music is for everyone no matter what their political beliefs may be.
Dolmayan said the following:
“To all the people who disagree with my opinions but still listen to what I have to say and argue respectfully I thank you. I thank you for your passion , I thank you for your heart and most of all I thank you for your different perspectives. As to system fans, some of you have been disheartened by my opinions and that’s affected your love of our music , that’s a shame, don’t be , they are just opinions after all
I accept all of you for who you are as you are and hope you understand disagreeing doesn’t mean not caring for each other. You are why all of us in system have what we have and we owe you a debt of gratitude for sticking with us all these years . Whatever your politics you are all welcome , System of a Down is for all of you and always will be. Music has the power to bring us all together if we can just put differences aside , thank you all I love you all”
This news comes after Tankian recently shared the lyrics for “Temper” online, while also adding: “if you love this song or play along to it and love Trump, you’re a hypocrite.”
