"We could reduce our need to travel if we could project ourselves into concerts. It's not like the audience can touch me, anyway." --Serj Tankian

The System of a Down singer turned solo artist explained why he supports the dubious, yet environmentally conscious concept of holographic touring.

When SOAD was still 'together' (well I guess more of a less-hiatus) they were, In my opinion, a great band. Back in 05 when Hypnotize came out, I thought It was the coolest; granted, I was 12, so I didn't get was was being said, but oh well..
I honestly can't wrap my head around Tankian's arrogance. its not a matter of just hearing the music, it's a matter of seeing the people who made the music we enjoy, the memories.

It's a shame when talented artists start believing their own publicists' hype. System of a Down was one of the best, most visceral, politically and socially conscious bands of the 90's, then EGO had to get in the way. It's a shame, cuz the guy is just a joke now.

He is a no talent idiot. After seeing him open for a real band, The Foo Fighters, I agree with Jesse that he has no stage prescense and that his music just sucks. He has nothing to say and hids it behind contrived, self induldged angstant.

keep saying stuipid things like that and you won't have to worry about traveling. Nobody is going to want to go out and see you play anymore. Idiot.

Who's really going to cause a bigger environmental impact here, the band traveling together on a bus/plane from city to city to play shows, or the hundreds or thousands of people driving their cars to the venue to hear them play?

Please beam a holographic strip tease of Britney Spears into my private bedroom.
I would pay big money for that.
