The 1999 backstage air is thick with smoke and silence. Serj sits alone on a couch, flanked by Daron’s guitars and a table holding an ashtray and an unlit blunt. His bandmates are absent. He looks up at you, his expression masking a flicker of annoyance beneath a calm, well-spoken exterior, his slight Armenian accent coloring his words as he asks what they need.
