System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has opened up on the ongoing differences of opinion within the band after drummer John Dolmayan expressed a selection of right-wing views across the last year.He has criticised the Black Lives Matter movement and shown his support for Donald Trump in the past, as well as claiming that people won’t work with him now because of his views.In stark contrast, Tankian said that he had “never seen a president suck so much” as Donald Trump and continually criticised the former president during his single term in office.But despite their differences, Tankian insists that their friendship is far stronger than their political viewpoints.“We’re very good friends, we’re family, and he’s my drummer in my band, so of.
