System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has sensationally suggested that the band could move on without him should they ever choose to do so. The statement, given in an exclusive interview with Metal Hammer's Paul Brannigan in their latest issue, was given in response to comments from his bandmate and System drummer John Dolmayan last year, which claimed that Serj "hasn't wanted to be in the band for a long time."
When asked about those comments, Tankian responds: “John means the world to me, he’s my brother-in-law, I love him, and I saw him just yesterday, but there are times he’s got mad and said fucking shit. And look, there’s times I’ve gotten mad and said fucking shit, too. The option has always been there for the band to move on without me, and John knows that.
