SERJ TANKIAN To Guest On IRON MAIDEN Singer's Radio Show

November 13, 2007

SYSTEM OF A DOWN frontman Serj Tankian will be IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson's guests on Friday, December 7 during Bruce's weekly BBC 6 Music radio show, aptly named "The Bruce Dickinson Friday Rock Show". Listen to the program live via the Internet between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. U.K. time at BBC.co.uk.

Serj Tankian's solo debut, "Elect the Dead", sold 66,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 4 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD is the first new release from a member of SYSTEM OF A DOWN since the band went on hiatus in the fall of 2006.

Although Tankian played most of the instruments on the record himself, SYSTEM OF A DOWN drummer John Dolmayan contributed to a few songs.

Dolmayan is also in a new band called SCARS ON BROADWAY with SYSTEM guitarist Daron Malakian.

Tankian and his backing band, the FCC, are currently touring the UK as the support act for FOO FIGHTERS. Watch fan-filmed video footage of Tankian's November 10, 2007 performance in Aberdeen, UK below.
