System of a Down

”There is no systemic racism in the United States,” John Dolmayan said in his latest tirade. ”Name one example.”

”Remember irrespective of the stance, only artists that truly care and are impassioned will risk alienating their base for what they consider the truth,” Serj writes. ”Our dilemma and possible fallacy is that we have two in one band.”

Serj is almost definitely taking a shot at SOAD drummer John Dolmayan's Trump love, while also reminding the world that the band has always stood against racism and right-wing politics.

”You can’t handle free speech because you are cowards and need to be herded along with the rest of the sheep,” John Dolmayan said in his latest screed.

”You are being agitated into a frenzy, divided, and then placated,” John Dolmayan says. ”No real changes will be instituted except that many of you will be even more dependent on the government you so adamantly oppose.”

SOAD drummer John Dolmayan called Trump ”the most attacked president in history yet the greatest friend to minorities!” while frontman Serj Tankian remains one of the president's loudest critics.

The pair of shows, which also feature Russian Circles, are now set for 2021.

Rage Against the Machine were scheduled to begin their reunion tour in TX on March 26, but their dates through May 20 have now been postponed amid the coronavirus pandemic, which probably leaves guitarist Tom Morello with some extra time on his hands for playlist-making.

The 2020 lineup of TFF also includes documentaries on Ronnie Wood, DMX, Serj Tankian, Banksy, Ricky Powell, Pharrell, Yung Lean, Harry Belafonte, plus the NYC premiere of Pete Davidson's The King of Staten Island and more.
