[infest800]

I'm seeing SOAD in 7 hours! Wonder who's supporting...

*counts minutes*
we're going to the same show, brixton right?
we'll meet you somewhere? :p

and the mars volta are supporting.

[cos you know that i can]

Yup, brixton. The Mars Volta eh? Think I'll download more of their stuff before going then. Lol we could meet up somewhere, nowt much to do while queueing anyway. I'm probably aiming to get there early, wanna get places vaguely near the front.

[infest800]

Yea, we're getting there about 6ish. We dont know the area though.

[infest800]

Get on msn.

[cos you know that i can]

Neither do we really, just the way from the station to the Academy. I'll probably end up walking up the line shouting 'infest800' if I get bored enough :p

EDIT: Oh right, msn

[Skit]

Have fun guys,
There playing about 4 songs off mezmerize live these days :thumb:

[cliff solos for all]

what is the exact release date for next album

[The Fonz]

what is the exact release date for next album
Hypnotize, right....?
yeah, I remember I just heard it a few days ago, but now I forget. Sorry


Not much of a usefull post, but O well...

[Aeaon]

I can't wait for the next album. Eventually, there will be some mp3's of it available.


As for Mezmerize and Toxicity, I plan on owning those soon.

[Skit]

I dont think there is an "exact" date set yet.
It comes out roughly 6 months after mezmerize.

So around november time :thumb:

Actually I heard that it was going to be released around X-Mas.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I would class November as around christmas

[Thor]

I would class November as around christmas
I would class November being around Thanksgiving, but that's just me. :thumb:

[spankyoplank]

I've read a few reviews of the new album, I personally reckon it's great but they've been getting a few bad reviews what do you reckon?

[Moseswasbanned]

I've read a few reviews of the new album, I personally reckon it's great but they've been getting a few bad reviews what do you reckon?
It's probably those people that tried to predict that SOAD would go downhill and don't want to believe they made a good album.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I've read a few reviews of the new album, I personally reckon it's great but they've been getting a few bad reviews what do you reckon?
I think it is brilliant :thumb:

[Thor]

I think it is brilliant :thumb:
I would say that it is close to brilliant, but I have a feeling that Hypnotize is going to be loads better.

[spankyoplank]

I ****ing love that SOAD are more or less the only band in the rock mainstream who are actually doing something creative and inventive. I personally think that all of the critics who aren't liking it are stuck in the mind that weird=bad=3/10

[Six Foot Revolver]

I would say that it is close to brilliant, but I have a feeling that Hypnotize is going to be loads better.
I have a feeling it is going to be awful, they have built up a very large fanbase so even if it does suck they are still going to make millions out of it

I ****ing love that SOAD are more or less the only band in the rock mainstream who are actually doing something creative and inventive. I personally think that all of the critics who aren't liking it are stuck in the mind that weird=bad=3/10
Muse are mainstream are far more creative and inventive IMO, however I am a fanboy so don't listen to me.

[Aeaon]

I would say that it is close to brilliant, but I have a feeling that Hypnotize is going to be loads better.



Let's just hope that it's not a Daron-oriented album.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Let's just hope that it's not a Daron-oriented album.
It will be because it was all written at the same time :upset:

[Aeaon]

. . .****.

[Skit]

From what I've heard (Holy Mountain,Kill Rock And Roll, Tentative) Hypnotize is going to be alot better :thumb:

[Aeaon]

What songs are going to be on it?

[Endless Obsession]

Let's just hope that it's not a Daron-oriented album.

Why does it matter Daron is amazing?

[Aeaon]

But Serj is the true singer for SOAD.

[YDload]

There was a Rolling Stone interview with Daron and Serj (hey I don't buy that stupid magazine it was in a waiting room ok??) and even they said that Hypnotize would be better. Which is great news for me because I really enjoyed Mesmerize and I guess it means they're not just getting worse and worse like most mainstream bands these days (it seems).

[Skit]

What songs are going to be on it?

Hypnotize
Kill Rock n' Roll
Lonely Day
Holy Mountain
Attack
Vicinity of Obscenity
'Tentative'

Thats the confirmed tracklist so far :thumb:

[Aeaon]

Their older stuff is really good, but their latest album is quite as good.

[Skit]

What exactly is everyones problem with mezmerize?

Darons always written alot of the basslines and he has always done backing vocals the only thing he's done differnet is sung lead on a few of the songs..

[Nicholas Sutton]

I really liked Mesmerize. Honestly though I think they should have just released both their albums as a double cd package or something...I love Mesmerize but the album seems five minutes long whenever I listen to it..just passes by very quickly.

[Skit]

I agree it does seem alot shorter than previous albums, but actually its only a few minuites difference.

[Aeaon]

I really liked Mesmerize. Honestly though I think they should have just released both their albums as a double cd package or something...I love Mesmerize but the album seems five minutes long whenever I listen to it..just passes by very quickly.



Hmm, that's odd. I don't even own the album. In fact, I haven't even listened to all of it yet.

[Thor]

I really liked Mesmerize. Honestly though I think they should have just released both their albums as a double cd package or something...I love Mesmerize but the album seems five minutes long whenever I listen to it..just passes by very quickly.
It seems like a fine length to me. They made it so well because they made sure that everything in this album was key. I honestly think that this album is going to be the album of the year.

Oh yeah, Hypnotize might beat it. System of a Down will be getting a Grammy this year. If they don't, that's messed up.

[Aeaon]

They probably wil, considering that their latest album is No. 1 on the Billboards list.

[Shattered_Future]

I honestly did not like this album.

Sure, it had its fair share of decent songs...BYOB, Sad Statue, Revenga, Radio/Video...but the majority of the songs sounded like filler IMO. And i liked before when Daron didn't sing as much...i can't stand his voice. Serj is the better singer.

I hope Hypnotize is better than this...even though System is a decent band, i think they're starting to show signs of age...

[Nicholas Sutton]

Hmm, that's odd. I don't even own the album. In fact, I haven't even listened to all of it yet.

Well it's only about a 30 minute album...it only feels a lot shorter. It really isn't a bad album, just zips by.

I completely agree that Hypnotize should probably be better. But that's not saying Mezmerize was bad.

[Thor]

It's official, "Question!" is the coolest song off of Mezmerize. At least in my world it is.

[YDload]

It seems like a fine length to me. They made it so well because they made sure that everything in this album was key. I honestly think that this album is going to be the album of the year.

Oh yeah, Hypnotize might beat it. System of a Down will be getting a Grammy this year. If they don't, that's messed up.

But Grammys are stupid, why would they need one? I mean, they could still get it, but it's not necessary for success in the eyes of any sane person.

And yes, "Question!" is the best song on the album.

[+zero+]

i didnt like question the first couple times i listened to it.. then i caught on to liking it, and i actually like the whole cd, yes its different, but what.. do you expect soad to just stay the same forever? everyone changes their styles.. its a part of creating music. if it was all the same then itd get old fast.. and i dont see whats wrong with darons voice.. i can understand that his lyrics kinda suck but hey serj should keep singing and write lyrics and daron should keep singing and not write lyrics.. sounds fair

[+zero+]

But Grammys are stupid, why would they need one? I mean, they could still get it, but it's not necessary for success in the eyes of any sane person.

And yes, "Question!" is the best song on the album.
lets pretend your in a band and have the chance to get a grammy.
when they say your band name would u say "eh i dont want it".. i dont think so. they dont need it but they deserve it so why not let them have it?

[Endless Obsession]

It's official, "Question!" is the coolest song off of Mezmerize. At least in my world it is.

O, no question about it.

Sweet berries waiting for to ghosts are not different then you!

IMO With Teeth, Frances the Mute and Angel of Retibution are all better than Mezmerise

this is my sytem of a down story:

6 months ago i didn't like system of a down but all my friends did so i got familiar with quite a lot of their material. The tickets for Brixton Academy gig in london then came out and my friends got them but i insisted i didn't want to go.
As soon as a week later i was beginning to regret this, not only the feeling of missing out on a gig but i found myself enjoying some of the songs which i had always hated (chop suey, aerials e.t.c). The next thing to happen which changed my whole outlook on system of a down was my friend to put 'steal this album' on his hi-fi. I realise its not a 'proper album' but this was on of the best things i had heard in so long and songs like Mr Jack and Boom became some of my favorite songs. This of course encouraged me to buy 'steal this album' and then the first album and mesmerize.

Of course by this point I was seriously regretting not buying tickets to the gig. So i had to watch my friends travel off to london without me!

....BUT! 3 hours before the gig i get a call from my mate asking me to travel down to london because somebody hadnt turned up....they had a spare ticket! So i had to rush, caught the last train and made it to the gig. One of the best gigs i've ever been to, they played an amazing set including the first ever live play of 'sad statue'.:D

Thats a cool story man. :thumb:

[Kyle]

Glad you got the ticket :)


/Has never seen SOAD :upset:
thats what makes me feel so wierd, how i have seen them live and people who have been fans for years havn't. It was wierd sort of a gig because usually I have months of waiting before the gig, but this was just really out of the blue. The pits for Bounce and Prison Song were insane!

[Skit]

Awesome :thumb:

[+zero+]

i havent seen them cuz they insist on like never coming to america which they actually are this year.. the only time they came to my state recently (wisconsin) was when they came to ozzfest in 2002 and i was way to young to go to that , i woulda gotten murdered.. and they came to chicago which i woulda went to but didnt find out till the tickets were sold out, and that was the day before the concert happended that i found out.. so dissapointing..:(

[Handle with care]

Anyone here heard a song of theirs called Jonny? WTF is that all about!

[TheSubtleArts]

Anyone here heard a song of theirs called Jonny? WTF is that all about!

yea thats one of thier unreleased tracks that didnt make it on Toxicity or STA, but i like it. i pretty much like anything that they make.

[Kyle]

Even 36? I hate that song.

[TheSubtleArts]

Even 36? I hate that song.

yes even that song :thumb:

[Skit]

Nothing wrong with 36 :thumb:

[Aeaon]

I'm probably one of the only people that likes that song.

[CemetaryGates9]

I haven't heard Johnny in a long time, but when I heard it last I loved it. I'm not a fan of 36. Am I the only one who notices the irony of it being 46 seconds long? I believe it would be 36 if not for the intro.

[RockRevival]

36 is the 36th SOAD song on CD.

S/t - 13 tracks
+
Toxicity - 14 tracks =

27
+
36 is track 9 on STA!.

27 + 9 = 36

[CemetaryGates9]

Oh. That's an interesting fact. Not worthy of three posts though. :rolleyes:

I'd have been happy if Pictures were the 36th song on CD.

[comeoverandhelpmepunchme]

darons singing sucks compared to serjs and his lyrics arnet nearly as nice and subtle as serjs this is made obvious with mezmerize coz u can see where daron said this will be the funny sond, seious song, quirky song etc... and out of this double album thing shavo was only allowed 3 songs to record his own bass parts, dont argue that i heard daron say it him self in guitar world

[comeoverandhelpmepunchme]

but dont get me wrong SOAD are still my fav band just..... i looks like daron wants it to be his band

[SaladFingers]

went to see SOAD live on opening night at brixton academy london. they were amazing. didn't play radio/video though but they played an amazing 90 min set. no matter what anyone says, there's passion underneath the madness.

[Shattered_Future]

Oh. That's an interesting fact. Not worthy of three posts though. :rolleyes:

I'd have been happy if Pictures were the 36th song on CD.

Yea, if they left 36 off, it wouldn't make much difference...i think.

Its only 46 seconds long anyway...

[TheSubtleArts]

I haven't heard Johnny in a long time, but when I heard it last I loved it. I'm not a fan of 36. Am I the only one who notices the irony of it being 46 seconds long? I believe it would be 36 if not for the intro.

i think its actually the outro that is 10 seconds long. it would be 36 seconds if not for that, not that it really matters though.

yeah the second night was equally good

[CemetaryGates9]

Off STA, I'd say that Boom and Bubbles come to mind. I can't think right now, though.

Are we going to enter the thread competition...if we do we'll need the players...normally i would do bass but i cant record at the moment, if we do do this i'll organize it and will represent the thread...

Yeah, just a minor thing though.....I thought the 80's matchbox were terrible.

I love all the songs on STA except for 36. Mr Jack, Roulette, Boom and IEAIAIO

[SaladFingers]

hey 80's matchbox were rather rubbish. but then noone was really there to see them. everyone wanted them to get off so system could come on. an inevitable bad situation for them. they're actually a pretty class band on album but the vocalist sounds a touch to much like elvis for my liking. p.s. mr jack was incredible on the opening night...

[Skit]

I heard 80's matchbox kept getting booed and there where chants of "**** the system!"

:lol:

[Zatoichi]

Yeah, just a minor thing though.....I thought the 80's matchbox were terrible.
IEAIAIO
tr00f, i went to the bar through their set....

hehe toilets nest to the stage guys were protesting to come out until 8-'s MB were finished. :lol:

edit : sup page 24

[Six Foot Revolver]

I really like them actually but am yet to see them live so do not know if they are terrible live or not

[Zatoichi]

I really like them actually but am yet to see them live so do not know if they are terrible live or not

Heh, sorry about that triple post, my computer was being lame.

Anyway, I'd love to see SOAD live.

[SomethingfromHolland]

I wanna see them live tooo

They're here the 21th this month, but I've just bought a bass guitar and I'm quite out of money

[Thor]

My friend and I were talking about the song "Old School Hollywood" today in school and all of the poser goth kids started singing the song. It really made me mad. :lol:

[+zero+]

ive seen videos of soad live and it makes me wanna see them alot. i thought STA was pretty good.. i liked 36.. but favorite was probly highway song, then streamline and thetawaves.. but yea honestly one of my fav. soad songs thats an old old classic and not many people have heard it is friik!.. i also like the song blue.. anyone hear any of these songs?

[Ballsack_AC/DC69]

I just bought the new album Mezmerize, and I was wondering what B.Y.O.B. stood for, some people I know told me it meant Bring Your Own Bombs, and others told me it meant Build Your Own Bombs. What does it mean?

[Aeaon]

It really means Bring Your Own Bombs.

[Alkaline Prime]

Good live band. Saw them twice this year and I was impressed. (Although my main reason for being there was the supporting act :D )

They seemed really tight live, and even the crazy vox were bang on. Got to hear a bunch of the new songs way before the album which was sweet. But the best part was when they played my 2 favourite songs back to back Roulette and Prison song.

Mezmerise definately isn't my favourite album of theres but a good disc all the same.

[Ballsack_AC/DC69]

It really means Bring Your Own Bombs.
Ok, thanks.

EDIT: To the post above mine, what supporting act were you seeing.

[CemetaryGates9]

BYOB, ATWA, IEAIAIO, PLUCK, anybody else see a trend?

[azbassman]

^ you forgot ADD

[Alkaline Prime]

Ok, thanks.

EDIT: To the post above mine, what supporting act were you seeing.

Rise Against :thumb:
Don't get me wrong though, I'm a fan of system..I just probably wouldn't have seen them both times

[CemetaryGates9]

Yeah, that's it. I was wondering if there was one on STA that actually stood for something. In that case, screw IEAIAIO.

[Skit]

Yeah IEAIAIO doesnt stand for anything its just jibberish :thumb:

Yeah, Daron has had his hair cut too.

[MaskedFreek]

I love the new song and video. I will go check out the new album.
The new album is way too soft, i mean BYOB has a F****n' pop chorus. Their distortion has gone too scratchy and not hard and thick enough. Alot of songs are really soft. Cigaro is the only good song on Mezmerize. Their previous albums were way way better.

[AA-12]

Meh, it's not too soft. Also, pop chorus? What do you mean by that? Anyway, i'd say that I prefer this one to all of their other ones, but Toxicity is about = to this one IMO.

[Skit]

BYOB is supposed to have a poppy chorus, Its a pisstake :thumb:

[TheSubtleArts]

ive seen videos of soad live and it makes me wanna see them alot. i thought STA was pretty good.. i liked 36.. but favorite was probly highway song, then streamline and thetawaves.. but yea honestly one of my fav. soad songs thats an old old classic and not many people have heard it is friik!.. i also like the song blue.. anyone hear any of these songs?


yes ive heard all of thier unreleased tracks except thier very first, "Flake" but i like them all. "Friik" is one of my favorites. the song "Dam" i really didnt get, not only could you not understand what he was saying but it didnt sound like them at all to me.

[CemetaryGates9]

Anyone ever heard "The Legend Of Zelda" by Soad?

[TheSubtleArts]

The new album is way too soft, i mean BYOB has a F****n' pop chorus. Their distortion has gone too scratchy and not hard and thick enough. Alot of songs are really soft. Cigaro is the only good song on Mezmerize. Their previous albums were way way better.


it probably sounds differant because Daron uses Gibson SG now and they are not tuned in drop C anymore. its drop D, half step down i think. Db

[Rothmans]

^ you forgot ADD

ADD is a medical condition.

[CemetaryGates9]

[Endless Obsession]

BYOB is supposed to have a poppy chorus, Its a pisstake :thumb:

I think radio/video is pretty poppy. I still love that song though.

[PepsiMetal]

Just because music is poppy doesn't mean it sucks. I don't get it why people are "scared" to listen to music that can be catchy and poppy. If it sounds good, nothing else matters.

[Endless Obsession]

Just because music is poppy doesn't mean it sucks. I don't get it why people are "scared" to listen to music that can be catchy and poppy. If it sounds good, nothing else matters.

Yeah for sure. I also hate when people dont like a song cause its on MTV. If its good, its good.

[Rush--WorkingMan]

BYOB great song and Cigaro

[Rush--WorkingMan]

no whats funny how they played Cigaro on PUNK-O-Rama on the radio

[Rush--WorkingMan]

theyre not even Punk

[RockRevival]

I like your triple post, babe.

Anyone ever heard "The Legend Of Zelda" by Soad?

That's by The Rabbit Joint.

Anyone Up For A SOAD Cover?

Its official, we can enter if we want :D
Anyone up for it? I'll play bass and backing (Daron) vocals if needed :thumb:

[JMann]

I'm up for it, I can record guitar unless someone else wants to do it.

[azbassman]

Screw vocals i cant sing but i can do bass

[The Bassy Bass]

Shavos old basslines was pretty easy, the ones in new album Mezmerize! They arent for beginners.

[azbassman]

^Shavo didnt record even half of the basslines on mezmerize daron did

[Skit]

Guitar: JMann
Bass: Skit

We need a drummer (if we cant get one we'll have to use midi) and a vocalist.

Any ideas for songs people?

[Six Foot Revolver]

Shavos old basslines was pretty easy, the ones in new album Mezmerize! They arent for beginners.
His basslines are just as easy as they were

[Skit]

Yeah, SOAD have never had hard bass lines :thumb:

[JMann]

So what songs are we doing? I'd like to do Forest and Suggestions, but whatever you guys want to do, I'll do my best to learn it/play it if I don't already know how.

[Thor]

If you guys could pull of Soil that would be awesome.

[Skit]

Well some threads are doing several different songs, If you have the time maybe we could do that?

Soil (if you ok in soloing) or suggestions sounds good, I know all there songs so Im up for anything.

[Thor]

Well here's how I think you guys should go about doing things.

Do one song from each album. Enough said.

[RockRevival]

If you decide on that:

Soil
Shimmy
ADD
Lost in Hollywood


Yeah that wasn't very thought out >_>

[Skit]

Good Idea :thumb:
Heres my suggestions:

Selftitled - Suggestions, Soil, Spiders, War?
Toxicity -Chop Suey, Aerials, Psycho, Toxicity, Needles
Steal This album -Roulette, ADD, Mr Jack
Mezmerize - Violent Pornography, BYOB, Cigaro, Lost in Hollywood
Hypnotize - Kill Rock And Roll

Like I said Im up for anything, But there some of my favs/ones people will recognise off each album :thumb:


Edit: Alot of people are saying soil, So I think we should at least give that a shot :thumb:

I would attempt to do vocals for you guys if I hadn't blown up my soundcard. However, I have recently got Cubase so if you can't find a drummer I may be able to work out how to use the drum machine on it.

NP:Pink Floyd-Mademoiselle Nobs

A Drummer And Vocalist Are still needed!
(Its Top of the page, all people viewing will see this ^)



If you could do drums that'd be great, We really need the drums before we can start record IMO, If we have the I can record my bass over them, then the guitars over bass/drums.


If all else fails I'll do lead vocals too, But I warn you, you dont want that!

Problem is that I will have to learn how to use the drum machine on it but I will try :thumb:

We could always use midi... :upset:

Well try to use a person, but if you can't, then go Midi.

What song should i do?

[clearvision]

Someone please upload this song from hypnotize :)

Thanks...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Who's gonna be strummin' the geetar, and what songs are you guys doing?

[JMann]

Good Idea :thumb:
Heres my suggestions:

Selftitled - Suggestions, Soil, Spiders, War?
Toxicity -Chop Suey, Aerials, Psycho, Toxicity, Needles
Steal This album -Roulette, ADD, Mr Jack
Mezmerize - Violent Pornography, BYOB, Cigaro, Lost in Hollywood
Hypnotize - Kill Rock And Roll

Like I said Im up for anything, But there some of my favs/ones people will recognise off each album :thumb:


Edit: Alot of people are saying soil, So I think we should at least give that a shot :thumb:

We should definately do Soil. Send me the tabs to that Psycho solo and an mp3 of it and I'll see what I can do. AIM: JMann11285 or MSN: orestes5000@hotmail.com

I think we should play Roulette from STA and BYOB or Violent Pornography from Mezmerize. I haven't heard Kill Rock and Roll yet.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

If you guys want to do well in the competition, you should do something a little more progressive, like Question! or maybe something out there like Violent Pornography or Forest. Forest would be a good one.

Walk with me my little FRIEEEND!

[JMann]

Yeah, I'd like to do Forest, but no one else seemed interested. I think we should do Forest instead of a song from Steal This Album! I don't really like anything off that album.

[azbassman]

But if we do a song of of STA it showcases more of SOAD

[JMann]

I see where you're coming from, I just feel that the songs on STA aren't very good so we'd be showcasing SOAD's ability to write subpar songs. Forest and Psycho are quite different songs anyways. But, that's just my opinion, whatever the majority agrees on is fine with me.

[RockRevival]

I like Steal This Album.

I don't like EVERY song, but it has enough good ones for me to consider it a good 'album'

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Streamline is another "epic" song by SoaD. I'd have to say my fave off of STA! is Ego Brain. Not sure why I like it so much, but it's pretty cool.

[PowerChord]

Hail System of a Down, one of the best modern day bands.

[Drop-D]

they were famous after their self titled...what are u talking about

Awesome band.

[timskold214]

System Of A Down is a pretty good band, I like the anti-political theme, but sometimes they overdo it and it just becomes annoying.

[Skit]

Most of there songs arnt overly political especially the new stuff.

[ibanez23]

hey guys soad rule. neways i have an idea for a singer. give crunchmeister a yell he did a demo of violent pornography and he's an alrite singer, sounds quite like them, if u wanna hear him go to the guitar forums and search for system of a down tone test!:thumb:

[Six Foot Revolver]

You have to admit that they over do it on BYOB

[ibanez23]

with how you guys are doing a soad song. is it like a competition with the other band threads like the metallica thread?

[G_Mac07]

Hmmm it's good to see this thread doing something for the Cover Competition. A lot of the forum should be interested in seeing what you can produce, as many members here probably would have started out playing SOAD stuff when they formed their first bands. I also agree with JMann when he says Forest would be a good song to cover. :)

Anyway, I was poking around my college network tonight and I found a little video of SOAD in the studio during the Toxicity recording. I figured some of you might be interested in it.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I'd like to see Daron say that they aren't a political band now. I remember reading an article about him after Toxicity came out, and he had said, "Sure songs like 'Prison Song' are political, but we aren't a political band."

[Skit]

He does still say that :thumb:

[Kaddus]

The new album is sure awesome. VIOLENT PORNOGRAPHY \m/

I cant wait to hear the entries for this competition, its gona rule.

You guys should definately do soil, i dont what else though. Forest would be good, then roulette and Byob/cigaro maybe.

I think it's safe to say we're doing Soil. That's about the only song we've all agreed upon.

[Thor]

Well good luck with Soil. That's one of SOAD's most complex songs. Try and do more than just that if you can though, we want each thread to have multiple songs if possible.

I think we need to get a song/member list organised now for the main comp page.

As far as Im aware this is what is agreed:

Vocals: (no-one as of yet)
Guitar: Jmann
Bass: Skit
Drums: (Possibly skit depending on above post)

Song list

Self titled: Soil
Toxicity: (Nothing as of yet, Although there where talks about Forest)
Steal This Album: (Nothing as of yet, there where talks about Roulette I think.)
Mezmerize: (Nothing as of yet, I think Violent Pornography was as good as agreed on though)

[Hui_LP]

You guys better do Forest, it's suck a kickAss song...

[Skit]

Well if thats what the people want...

[YDload]

If you did "Forest" you'd need a drummer who has a couple of those mini-toms that Dolmayan uses in that song. Or maybe just some cheap bongos :)

I can't wait to hear your cover.

I would rather hear Mr.Jack or The Highway Song off of STA rather than Roulette.

I second that. Mr. Jack is the best song off of STA.

[xrockerachickx]

I was a big fan of them in high school, and I don't particularly dislike them now. New album might be interesting. :)

well all i know, is that SOAD is my favorite band ever.... for anyone who doesnt have any of their albums i recomen their first and Toxicity... that was their best, and theyre new album is kind of a different SOAD. not the classic SOAD they used to b, but still pretty kool

[Rothmans]

I have a hunch that hypnotize is gonna be well better wasnt a great fan of mezmerize but still good but there next album...

[DuncMaster]

You saw them live? :jealous: I'd love to see SOAD in action, as they're such a crazy band...really high energy whenever I see them, even if they're just doing an interview. I think Mesmerize is their best album to date, personally (I really got into them with Toxicity) and I can't wait to see what their other album this year sounds like.

I saw them Wednesday, yup they ****in rock live.

[xrockerachickx]

I saw them Wednesday, yup they ****in rock live.

the only time ive seen them live has been on Mtv... i know it sux, but by the time i get to know about a concert, its sold out!!! but hey if theyre good live on TV, they must be better in concert right???

[Endless Obsession]

I saw them Wednesday, yup they ****in rock live.

They are pretty much at the top of my list right now, cause i have seen most of the bands i like more than them. I feel like their show has so much energy and that it would just be great. I dont think they are coming to Cleveland on their upcoming tour with TMV though. :upset:

[AIC/EAZY-E]

I really think 'Lost in Hollywood' was a dodgy choice for a second single. I wonder what people who are casual radio fans will think of Daron's lead vocals. It's the mellowest song they would've ever done I'm pretty sure (no distortion what-so-ever). It's just so different to the rest. But I really dig the bit when Daron says ''Phony people come to play''. Him and Serj's harmonies go so well. Maybe not on a Staley/Cantrell standard, but it's getting there.

[Dude3]

I think I'm pretty much alone on this, but I absolutely hated Mezmerize. I just thought it was very bland and generic. Nothing stood out about it to me. I wasn't really suspecting the technicality of it to be out of this world, or anything. I love their previous releases. I thought this record was just sooooooo boring. I want to sell it, but I can't find anybody who wants it.

[luftvier]

Some black metal fans have noticed what seems like a tribute to Emperor in the bridge of Revenga - a riff very similar to that from I Am the Black Wizards off of Nightside...yes? No? Who knows? My favorite System is still from their Bugzapper demo tape. I loved that tape.

I didn't like lost in hollywood much. That "Tony Danzda cuts in line" is pretty whiny and cheesy. Old school hollywood is better although songs are totally different so comparison is stupid. Anyone else think radio/video bits of greeky guitar type sound similar? I could swear I heard it already. Might be my crazy imagination though.

[AIC/EAZY-E]

It's officially happened. Everyone at my school loves BYOB. Discovering it months after its release. Just hearing them say ''You heard that new Systems of the down song everybody goin to the party have a real good time? SOOOO COOL!'' makes me jeer. But at least they like it. That chorus ALWAYS gets me going.

You've got "Old School Hollywood" and "Lost in Hollywood" mixed up. The first one is the one about Tony Danza cutting in line, and the other one is the album's last track that's very mellow and ballad-like.

Also, anyone who thinks SOAD is just getting popular now must not remember the Chop Suey! phase of their career very well :mad:

It's only been out for one month and ten days, and since it's on the radio, MTV, and even a performance on Saturday Night Live, what's so surprising that people at school have heard them? They heard "Spiders" and "Sugar" in 1998 and "Chop Suey!" and "Aerials" in 2001, so what's the big deal?

System of a Down is popular!

Soad is a very strange band, but none the less they rock.

[luftvier]

What songs does it have on it? I've never heard of it.

The demo had more death metal type versions of Soil, War?, and Peep-Hole. Serjs grunts were more like Suffocation/Opeth style and the production sounded deeper/grittier. I actually liked the versions on that demo MUCH more than the albums versions. Sadly, I have since lost my tape and have been unable to track down another copy or even proof that anyone outside of my area had them!

I reccomend the first album to anyone who doesn't have it. I find it much more 'pure', not some watered down crap.

/cant explain

yes ::100% agree:: The self titled rocks, and they seem not very afraid to mention whatever they want in there. The other albums are good, but I think that they've weeded out their original more political sense. Suggestions and pluck, I believe are by far their best songs.

I just got mesmerize the other day and its not a bad album. I prefer there other ones but Radio/Video, Violent pornography. Wait, what am I saying! EVery Soad song ever created is beautiful and I can't wait for hypnotize and when I see them on tour im gonna die. Hence the avatar.

Toxicity is probably the most accesible, so would be good for a first album. however The self titled album is extremely good, as with their other albums, and Steal this album. You cant really go wrong in my eyes.

Have you guys all decided on who's doing what on your entry in the Cover Contest thing yet? Cos if not, i'd be happy to play guitar. I'll post my cover of chop suey up later, see if you like it.
