When System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian released his philosophical memoir last month, we talked to him for a We’ve Got A File On You interview. At the end of the Q&A, he discussed his public request for Imagine Dragons to cancel their show in Azerbaijan last year, a request Imagine Dragons ignored. Tankian compared it to performing in Nazi Germany and concluded, “Anyone that does ethnic cleansing and genocide needs to be fucking punished. So that’s why I got pissed off. Some artists are artists and some artists are entertainers, and I’ll leave it at that.”
