| As a child, Malakian went to Alex Pilibo's Armenian school and has said he still has nightmares from things he endured there. He went to Roosevelt Middle School and Glendale High School, where he frequently cut class. Malakian now lives in Los Angeles and likes to collect candles, Persian rugs, instruments, and skulls. (thanks, Amanda - Carthage, TN) |
| The band is very opposed to "oppression and aggression." They often take a political stance in their songs. |
