Christmas trips down to LA is usually an opportunity to rummage through old stuff at parents' homes. For a while now, our boys have been following the band "System of a Down" and knowing that 3 of the 4 in the band went to the same high school as Siran and I in LA always intrigued them (we were the first graduating class of the then small Armenian high school in Hollywood back in the day - 1981 and the SOAD guys were much younger.
Here is Daron Malakian - lead guitar, vocals (Source: last.fm).
