Malakian: “We have different viewpoints on how we want to make the record, how much time we want to spend. I mean, it’s complicated.”
Smith: “It’s complicated being in a band, isn’t it?”
Malakian: “In System it is.”
Smith: “In our band it is. I think in most bands, especially when it’s not one guy saying, one sort of leader of the band so to speak, when it’s more of a democracy, which I think, I don’t know if you’d use that word.”
Malakian: “It is a democracy, but in this case, it kind of is one guy holding it back a little bit, but that’s cool though, we still do shows. We still play, we still get along, we’re still friends.”
