MALAKIAN AMAZED BY FBI INVESTIGATION REPORTS
SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist DARON MALAKIAN is bemused by reports the
band are under investigation by the FBI and CIA - as he insists they
have no intention of being "dangerous".
The Armenian American rockers were rumoured to be considered a
liability by US authorities, not only because of their Middle Eastern
roots, but also thanks to their anti-government stance on their
chart-topping album TOXICITY.
But leather-clad Malakian is keen to point out they merely want to
make a difference to society.
He says, "How dangerous we are to them (the FBI), I don't know.
"I don't really want to be dangerous to anyone - I just want to open
people's minds.
"To help people understand that it's not necessary to throw bombs at
people.
"The society we live in is f**ked."
