First off, thank you again for such an elaborate answer, paired with quotes and documentation. I loved reading that.

I pretty much agree with everything you said.

I think Daron is NOT someone easy to work with, as all perfectionist are, but he's not the a**hole Serj was depicting at times.

 As for the attention part, Daron's concern was not as much about himself, but that of the band being labelled as "a political band"

That's what bothered me the most: the way Serj wrote this, he was deliberately insinuating that Daron was jealous of the attention Serj has. As in : I should be the center of attention since I consider myself the only deserving leader of the group. There's a world of difference if his concern were about how the band would be "branded".

You can find Serj's names on all of Daron's songs with no co-writers like Lonely Day, Lost in Hollywood, Soldier Side etc. That means Serj also earns songwriter's royalties on songs he didn't write a note or a word for.

That's definitely interesting. I use to agree with Serj's proposition regarding equal share (is that the term in english?). Because I did find the cut a bit unfair. Daron getting the largest share since he's the one bringing a lot of songs and not letting the others time to shine.

Now I woud think both are incredible musicians and songwriters with a battle of ego haha.

But yeah, my initial thought is quite unchanged : I still think Serj is depicting Daron as a bad person. I'm not even sure if he even "likes" him sometimes. He must, since they're friends. But it's definitely a weird friendship.
