meh, can't really see any of these guys having a great solo career. Really hope they get back together.

The band insists that they are not splitting up

They better not break up...because I have a feeling if they get back together it will be great. Hopefully something new and exciting for them.

You should just go away forever.
That being said, Mezermize/Hypnotize sucked.
I reckon Serj's album will be well worth buying and Daron's will be well worth burning (literally, meaning in a fire). John's will also be pretty cool.

I agree that Serj's might be worth buying. But the only thing I find wrong with Daron is that he can't sing for anything.

John seems like a cool guy. I listened to an interview with him and he was pretty adamant about SOAD not breaking up.

eww, SOAD

I reckon Serj's album will be well worth buying and Daron's will be well worth burning (literally, meaning in a fire). John's will also be pretty cool.

I almost, almost want them to not get back together because I was at their last show, and how awesome would it be to say that.

That being said, Hyponotize was an excellent album, probably their third best, but Mezmerize is undoubtedly their worst.

Daron could only sing in "Lost In Hollywood" and his vocals just didn't work when he leaded other songs on Mezmerize/Hypnotize. I say Daron should either just stick to playing guitar and background vocals or he should go solo and let the band replace him with a different guitarist.

I'm glad their taking a break. I think if they tried to make another album in the next couple years or so it would turn out just awful. This way if they come back to the studio they will be more fresh and eager.

They should just go away forever.

If they split up the party is at my house and drinks are on me ok guys?

alright, I'd like to pre-order a gin&tonic with a lemon wedge

...and a few shots of peach snaps would be good too.

This.

I guess Serj's record might be pretty cool. As for Daron, kudos to his family for being the only people to own a copy.

lol at post above.

At least Daron's record might be better than K-Fed's.

I read in a newspaper that they are to return late 2007. Anyone else read said artical about music coming up next year?

Man, if only metallica got the clue. Too bad they still havent figured out when to hang it up

Shut up, you.

No, hes right.

as long as daron's solo album is instrumental or with guest vocalists, it might be worth a listen, but its fair to say the guy can't sing for shit.

serj's would be interesting, im envisioning an armenian themed version of mr bungle for some reason...

I like Serj, but Daron is wanker, he's pretty much penned all of the soad music though, instrumentally he pretty much kicks ass.

I just hope that if they make a new album, DARON STOPS SINGING! It's an assault on the ears to hear his prepubesant yelping... oy ve, and Serj's may be interesting but i don't see it being any different from SOADs other stuff, mainly their first album..

For the people saying that Serj's material will be the same as SOAD, you should check out his previous side project Serart. It's extremely unique and original and doesn't resemble SOAD in any way. It'd pretty much straight up middle-eastern music and I couldn't even put in in any genre except other.

I hope they do get back together sometime, but I agree that they do need a break.

Ill fist fight anyone who says SOAD has sucked at one point.....They've never sucked, its just they havint been using ther e full potential....like on Mezermize/Hypnotize not full potential
