System of a Down

Ok, I'm not familiar with this band, or ANY of the current
popular contemporary rock stuff... but I just saw a clip of
a song by them, and the lyrics have ''DISORDER!'' in them
alot. Yes, I know I'm describing it pathetically. Anyway,
what's this song called? It's fucking awesome. I might get
into these guys...

Don't know that song sorry, but if you're getting into them,
try Toxicity. It's the only song by them I'll even listen
to :-)

Yup, that's the one, thanks. So is there any System of Down
fans here, or do they suck and I'm just getting excited
about one good song?

chop suei is a good tune. They do have a somewhat orginal
sound compared to other heavier music on the radio.

My friend Sabac actually knows the singer pretty
well....very friendly guys indeed.

I think they on point with the lyrics.

Never been into guitar music tho.

i dont like them, i DID like the 1st album for a while, but
it was gradually lost on me.... i like the guitar at the
start of Chop Suei, not the rest of it, but i was listening
to the radio the other day, and they said that SOAD had
either sampled it from a Velvet underground song, or just
copied it.

My friends seem to like SOAD, but they're all twats really!

if u want to hear some metal that's reasonably good that u
mite not expect to be good, download stuff off of
"Mate.Kill.Feed.Repeat" by Slipknot. It's a really rare
album - like only 1000 originals. Get the song "confessions"
- my dad thort it was hendrix, hahahah!!

I'm downloading all their stuff off Soulseek right now. They
better be good, or I'll beat you up!

Toxicity is fucking awesome...

Ophecks: Their singers voice is fuckin wack, I hate guitars
and the only thing u should do is read their lyrics on
www.alllyrics.com

dont bother downloading that stuff if youre not into heavy
guitars dude ;)

you don't like his voice? it's so dope! c'mon, it's an
interesting element in 'metal' music. not that he sounds
like mike patton, but it's that same sort of element - a
strong, almost operatic voice which sends the emotional
power of the song far beyond anything else. the singer's
voice is my fave part of SOAD, but a lot of the lyrics
("prison song" for example) are great and the music is much
more intelligent than most other bands popular now.

i downloaded a few of the demos that leaked recently, even
those are pretty good.

good show.

I USED to be really into heavy guitars, and I still have a
soft spot for them. I'm kind of half rocker/half IDMer. :-)
My musical roots are Metallica, Black Sabbath, Nirvana,
Ozzy, Motorhead, so I'm fine with heavy guitars. I PLAY
guitar, I'll always be into it.

His voice is what got my attention, though... it's damn
cool.

Wow, these guys are awesome. I'm ashamed of myself for not
knowing earlier. It's just that similar bands that all over
MTV and all that crap suck so terribly... I thought these
guys were one of them. D'oh!

That guys voice is fucking grrreat!

why do they have to be death metal? i don't think they ever
claimed to be anything they're not, just take music for what
it is :)

I don't like anything by System of a down. Especially chop
suey. But i'm not a big fan of metal, so.

Some of my friends like SOAD. They can't understand why I
don't.

System of a Down is fucking awesome. It's heavy and melodic
all at once. Not the usual trendy radio friendly music
you'd expect to hear nowadays. Just good old fashioned
original music...

I think System of a Down is a pretty cool band, borrowed
Toxicity from and friend and I liked Chop Suey, Prison song,
and Shimmy.

Forest, Toxicity, Shimmy, Jet Pilot... this fucking album is
LOADED with great stuff.

I assumed they were just another poppy ''fake
aggression/angst'' nu metal band, I was damn wrong...

As someone who is highly into rock.System of a Down is a
great band to get into. A bunch of old looking guys playing
rock music, cant get better then that.

I was a soad fan from the very beginning but then they
became very commercial and stuff and I found out that they
suck live most of the time. Also I hate the fact that even
young boy/girl band loving teens listen to this music!
But I'll still respect their first album alot. Toxicity has
some good songs, but it's not as good as their first album!

i don't like very many mainstream bands but i've always
liked system. They toured withe dillinger escape plan but i
fucking missed it due to the fact all the shows were in
fucking europe. I love dillinger so much :(
