The System of a Down Thread (MXican Radio #4)

[Tele_Dude]

Im new here.. SoaD is my favorite band, and have been that for 4 years now. I saw them live at the Norwegian Wood, and it was so sick.. Best moment of my life.. So, who is doing these covers?

[Skit]

It needs to be desided so I can post it in the official topic(if its still around) but no ones really said anything as far as an official list..

As far as I've gathered:

Vocals: (No one yet)
Backing Vocals: (No one yet)
Guitar: Jmann
Bass: Skit
Drums: (No one as of yet... possibly Skit)

Confirmed Songs: Forest, Soil, Violent Pornography

I guess we could have more than one guitarist or something?
Or maybe it could come down to who can play it the best/get the best tone thats closest to the original.

If you could both post a sample of what you can do (prefarably a SOAD song) that'd be great (Jmann I missed your original post and the links expired)

[xrockerachickx]

You can download some live versions of Holy Mountain and Kill Your Rock and Roll- both are songs from hypnotize. Studio versions still aren't available.

where can i download it from??? i alwayd download from Lime wWire which practically always has something new,but it had nothing from Hypnotize... so any ideas where...

[Thor]

Skit, you guys haven't gotten so far with the cover. Go ask in the guitar forums for someone who would play for you, and you should do that with the other people you need as well. Just ask in the according section. I'm sure that you will find someone.

[Skit]

We've got a guitarist, But we could use a drummer.
I might go ask in the drum forum in the coming days.

[Blizzink]

I could get you guys a drummer, but that would require effort, and I dunno about that.

[Skit]

My cover of chop suey is on there. It won't be cleared to download for about 22 hours, but you can stream it in low-fi.

[exup]

who heard the new album ?

[PepsiMetal]

Every one has and it's been discussed in previous pages alot.

[P3rSiAnP0wer]

****ing mad cause I missed their concert in the fillmore awhile ago, and now they arent coming anywhere near here. fucc

Thanks, I'll have to wait for it to clear As I cant stream on my computer ATM and I can only listen to the mp3.

[jake_6(sic)6]

system are cool. self title is the best album

[blackout]

I think old school hollywood is pants, joint worst on the album with this cocaine...

/second time I've said that on MX today :smoke:
Wow, big difference in a opinion here, I love both of those tracks. This next comment is gonna be unpopular: I hate the chorus in violent pornography.

Right, it's now available to download, let me know what you think :thumb:

[TheSubtleArts]

Right, it's now available to download, let me know what you think :thumb:

I thought it was good, i liked the backing track also.

[94_Hours]

Did anyone else find Steal This Album quite dissappointing?
hell yes

[Huber]

I like Steal This Album a lot, but it is the weakest album they have.

[Mother_Of_Abominations]

System Of A Down is a really great band, but with 3-4 albums all anti-political, it's annoying. It was awesome at first, with government defying music, like RATM. But they got too caught up into the gimmick and yeah, over did it.

[Skit]

Right, it's now available to download, let me know what you think :thumb:

Sounded really great! I loved your tone :thumb:
I thought the trill notes didnt sound to good though I dont know what it is about them.

Whats with the little solos at 2.00 and 3.00 Im pretty sure there not on the original :confused:

It'd be great to have you onboard with a tone like that :D

[Kyle]

I haven't got a clue, for some reason they were on the backing track:lol:

Glad you liked it:)

[xrockerachickx]

yeah thats what I think.

yeah, thats what i think too. but you know what, theyre still good, and even Mezmerize wasnt as good as i thought it would be, but i know Hypnotize is gonna b way better. so maybe thats why they did it, so we can all wait for the better stuff later on.

[Spiritofmosa]

does anyone have system of a down - X?

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Why????????????

[AIC/EAZY-E]

Can anyone get it through their heads that Steal This Album wasn't an official release and an album of all new material? It didn't have months of thought or preparation, most are old demos and songs left off of Toxicity, just re-recorded. You can't really judge it on an album basis as it's more of a compilation than anything. You should judge it more on the single songs that are included, and with such career highlights as Innervision, Boom, Chic 'N Stu, Roulette, Mr. Jack, Ego Brain, Streamline..it definitely isn't a dissapointment in my eyes.

Ok, It IS an official release and the band credit it as so.

The songs that werent used on toxicity got leaked and SOAD didnt like unfinished versions of there songs being listened to so they re-recorded them and released them as STA

A few facts you might not know:

1, There where only 2 new songs on the album: Ego Brain And Roulette
2, However, Roulette was infact one of the first SOAD songs ever written.
3, 2 other leaked songs from Toxicity werent re-recorded: Forever And Virginity.



I know too much :thumb: ... :lol:

Why????????????
i want it.. i cant seem to download it on limwire because of the 'X'

[Skit]

Well just search system of a down and scroll down the list.

They probably put roughly the same amount of effort into writing the songs originally, in my mind its just another album.

[TheSubtleArts]

i want it.. i cant seem to download it on limwire because of the 'X'


just search for system of a down like someone said above or search Toxicity in the album section

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

SOAD is coming to my turf, or Winnipeg for those people that don't know me. Anyway tickets are $40 for nosebleed seats. It's outrageous. I love SOAD and TMV but $40, I mean come on. I even work and I can't really afford that. Now if it was RATM or Audioslave, that's a different story.

[paper2302]

If you want some System of a Down songs, buy them from a record store, such as: FYE-Hastings-Walmart-Kmart-Target

Do you have to download them?

[RockRevival]

Walmart Kmart and Target are record stores?

Ha.

[AIC/EAZY-E]

So, Serj just got rejected in his idea to buy land and settle in the mid-term here in New Zealand. Bloody Maoris, their pride and tangata whenua and all that. All those 'true' Maoris are way too far up their asses and living in the past. We went to Gisborne one week, and they wouldn't let us down this one road since it was sacred land. I seriously lost all respect for NZ's indiginous race at that point. Serj was planning to scout unknown NZ talent, and reccommend them to US labels. This just makes me hate Maoris and the International Affairs people SO much more. He could've finally been the break that NZ needs, as there is quite a number of excellent bands not getting enough recognition around here, and that will probably never break out from being only recognized locally.

[Spiritofmosa]

i love steal this album..

[AntiHero26]

Isnt SOAD not comming back to the USA because they hate Bush? (thats what I heard)

[Aberrationbass]

you have to give respect Mauris but i think they are taking it abit to far not letting you drive down the road.........
i've heard some NZ bands (im not from NZ) off a cd called something like "trapped on the island" and i wasn't really that impressed...........but i haven't heard all of them so who am i to speak..........

[Skit]

Isnt SOAD not comming back to the USA because they hate Bush? (thats what I heard)

Na, There touring the US (Either now or in the near future) :thumb:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i dont like SOAD but you have to admit they write some catchy and creative songs, but i couldnt listen to them by choice. at least in a pool of unoriginal bands they are unique and have their own voice. Ther drummer is easily the bands talent.

[Skit]

I agree, John (drums) is clearly the most talented musician in the band along with Serj (vocals)

[cacophonyz]

Yeah they aren't my favorite band,or even anywhere near it,but compared to most radio-mainstream bands these days they are the pick of the litter.My friend got their new cd and has been listening to it constantly,and I don't know the name of it but track 9 on there I really like.

[Follow The Reaper]

Isnt SOAD not comming back to the USA because they hate Bush? (thats what I heard)
THey would never miss out on a chance to get money. They would lose a lot of fans as well as money from tickets if they didn't.

Sad Statue?

[cacophonyz]

Sad Statue?


Most likely the one,as I remember the chorus talking about the statue of liberty.

[Spiritofmosa]

yeah sad statue is a good song, i like it too

[AIC/EAZY-E]

you have to give respect Mauris but i think they are taking it abit to far not letting you drive down the road.........

Who's Mauris? Or was it just a funny typo.
Anyway, an example of a GREAT NZ band is Shihad, who were also known as Pacifier. They seriously have so many top quality songs. 8 Foot Sativa are also worthy of mention, they have come into their own as of late.

[xrockerachickx]

yeah sad statue is a good song, i like it too

sad statue was for me one of the greatest songs in the album, along with question, and well cigaro and byob... the rest r not really what i espected, but still kool up to a certain point. :naughty:
does anyone know where i cn download some Hypnotize tracks???

[GaggingOrder]

I love the whole damn disc, but Sad Statue, This Cocaine, and Violent Pornography are my favorties.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

THey would never miss out on a chance to get money. They would lose a lot of fans as well as money from tickets if they didn't.


Yeah, but if they did that, I would go out and buy another 4 of 'Mezmerize' and a whole stack of 'Hypnotize' when it comes out. I would also then buy tickets to the show, whatever the price would be.

[Mr. Hankie]

Mezmerize is their worst album so far.

1. Toxicity
2. STA
3. S/T
4. Mezmerize

[mudvayne420]

it's hard for me to decide which albums their worst but i have to say STA because Mezmerize and Toxicity are tied to me. also, on mezmerize, i have to say my fav. song is Question and my least fav. is Old school hollywood. but my fav SOAD song is P.L.U.C.K

[TheSubtleArts]

S/T is my favoriteof thier albums, but i love all SOAD stuff. i like heavier music more so id go with S/T as my favorite.

[Skit]

I dont know what everyones problem with mezmerize is just because they changed there style alittle..

[AIC/EAZY-E]

What's with the Old-School Hollywood hate? That's one of the best songs on the album IMO, just because its tinged with electronica doesn't mean it takes any of the SOAD quality or heaviness away. Cigaro is the worst on the album IMO, just because it has a few funny lines doesn't mean it's that great overall. It's real repetitive, a bad chorus, yet I tend to enjoy the bridge (cant-YOU-see-THAT-you-LOVE-my-****?).

[Skit]

Agreed I really like Old School

[xrockerachickx]

Mezmerize doesnt suck!!! no one is saying that... its just different and i was expecting something harder like b.y.o.b.

[Aviation.]

I am armenian. My parents have armenian ancestors, and I have armenian blood.

Yay armenians.

[westyd1]

Cigaro is the worst on the album IMO, just because it has a few funny lines doesn't mean it's that great overall. It's real repetitive, a bad chorus, yet I tend to enjoy the bridge (cant-YOU-see-THAT-you-LOVE-my-****?).

Everyone I talk to that doesnt really know SoaD say that Cigaro is a stupid song cos of the lyrics. They dont realise that i is a metaphore which is quite simple to work out really. I don't really like the song and thik it is the worst on the album but I think that only because it was the only song off the new album I could get for ages so I played it to death and now it just annoys me.

[YDload]

Of course it's a metaphor. Talkin' about Freud and how some people have obsessions with phallic objects.

(i.e. people who smoke cigars have small penises :))

But just because I understand the song doesn't mean I have to really like it. It's okay but it's a bit too abrasive when compared with the rest of the album.

[Mr. Hankie]

Cigaro is a political song.

[Anthem]

You guys should check out this song that that took out from the U.S self titled album, its called "Storaged" Its a pretty good song.

[TheSubtleArts]

ive heard that song, i dont like it much.

[Aeaon]

I like it alot. It was way better than Steal This Album.

[Moses]

But just because I understand the song doesn't mean I have to really like it. It's okay but it's a bit too abrasive when compared with the rest of the album.
I thought it had to do with America basically doing what they want because they have the firepower (or the ****).

Best song on the album has to be Question! because it's like no other song they've done and is emotional, techincal (in the sense of the time signature), and so intense.

[Aeaon]

I suppose what Cigaro means is being cool, and doing what you want.

[+zero+]

Mezmerize is their worst album so far.

1. Toxicity
2. STA
3. S/T
4. Mezmerize

i think your the only person who doesnt think the S/T is their best album... and STA their second best. i dont know about u kid..but whatever.. were all held to our own opinion i guess

[AIC/EAZY-E]

Thats half the reason I don't like it, but I guess it's just a general fact, if you overplay songs, you like them less. I hope you didn't think I thought Daron was talking about his actual genitalia in the song. Generally speaking, if you don't get what he's talking about on the first listen, then SOAD isn't the band for you.

[+zero+]

same with me.. overplayed song ..

[YDload]

Best song on the album has to be Question! because it's like no other song they've done and is emotional, techincal (in the sense of the time signature), and so intense.

Yeah, it's definitely my favorite on that album. Nothing like it :)

[azbassman]

Mezmerize is their worst album so far.

1. Toxicity
2. STA
3. S/T
4. Mezmerize
On this i would have to go with
1.S/T
2.Toxicity
3.Mezmerize
4.STA

[Six Foot Revolver]

One this i would have to go with
1.S/T
2.Toxicity
3.Mezmerize
4.STA
un deux trois

[Skit]

I gotta agree with azbassman too thats the way I rate the albums :thumb:

[azbassman]

On a slow day i just had to know...top ten SOAD songs
1.Soil
2.Violent pornography
3.Mind
4.Prision Song
5.Sad Statue
6.Spiders
7.Mr. Jack
8.Psycho
9.This Coaine...ect.
10.B.Y.O.B

[TheSubtleArts]

making a top ten list would be very tough for me to do i think. i agree with your order of favorite albums though azbassman

[azbassman]

Thank you skit and Mudvayne3B

[Spiritofmosa]

i like nu-guns

[Skit]

Top 10 SOAD songs:

1, P.L.U.C.K
2, Charades (Serj only song)
3, Snowblind (Sabbath cover)
4, Cigaro
5, Ego Brain
6, Psycho (So much better live)
7, Lost In Hollywood
8, Old School Hollywood
9, Aerials
10, ATWA

That was hard to pick :thumb:

[Kyle]

my top 10 would be:

1. Soil
2. Atwa
3. Snowblind
4. Mr Jack
5. Needles
6. Question
7. War
8. Metro
9. P.L.U.C.K
10. Aerials

...that was really hard

[XI_SYSTEM_IX]

Now, i don't play bass but i can still play all of shavos basslines on my friends bass...so he must not be very good..sorry to burst your bubble
ya ok so you can play his bass lines but can you put all the energy and heart into playin them like him.the is like the best bassist out there,and he brings soo much energy to the shows

[XI_SYSTEM_IX]

my top 10 would be
1.radio/video
2.science
3.sugar
4.war
5.prison song
6.psycho
7.byob
8.f**k the system
9.snowblind
10.johnny

[Kyle]

he is like the best bassist out there,and he brings soo much energy to the shows
please rethink this, its very naive to suggest that.

[azbassman]

ya ok so you can play his bass lines but can you put all the energy and heart into playin them like him.the is like the best bassist out there,and he brings soo much energy to the shows
Shavo is a very average bass player he dosent play anything really hard or technical. The stuff he creates though sound good which is why everyone credits him with being a good player...he creates simple stuff the fits in good with the rest of the tracks.

[Shattered_Future]

Shavo is definately NOT the best bassist out there...

What he plays goes good with the music, though...thats what matters most, and he pulls that off perfectly.

[YDload]

I like Shavo but there's no way he's one of the best bassists there is. I didn't even include him in my own top 100 bassists list, just because I had to set an example and not simply nominate bassists from all my favorite bands.

1. Question!
2. Sugar
3. Soil
4. Needles
5. ATWA
6. Highway Song
7. Radio/Video
8. Sad Statue
9. Suggestions
10. P.L.U.C.K.

There's a top ten list I guess.

[systemofakorn]

Why does it always say that Mezmerize is their 3rd album when its there 4th?

[azbassman]

Why does it always say that Mezmerize is their 3rd album when its there 4th?
What? can you explain what you mean.

[TheSubtleArts]

Why does it always say that Mezmerize is their 3rd album when its there 4th?

well, "it" must not be counting STA as an official album of theirs i guess.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Spiders
Atwa
Question!
Science
Aerials
Needles
Radio/Video
Sugar
X
Forest

I almost want to include Chopsuey! just for the intro...but after that it really goes downhill.

[azbassman]

Do you mean were i said
1.S/T
2.Toxicity
3.Mezmerize
4.STA
...because if thats what you meant we were rating the albums from our favorite to least favorite.

[systemofakorn]

"Get ready to rock in this System of a Down black t-shirt. It was created to promote the band’s latest album, Mezmerize. This is their third official full-length album and it has been called "ambitious," "jagged," and "startling" by critics everywhere." This is from a Sam Goody promotion, and I've seen it called the third album before this too....

[azbassman]

Maybe they didnt count STA as a "offical" album because it was a collection of previously unreleased tracks...

[systemofakorn]

Oh, I never knew that about STA. Yea I guess that's probably why. Thanks

[Aeaon]

I guess that's a good thing. I strongly dislike Steal This Album.

[Mr. Hankie]

i think your the only person who doesnt think the S/T is their best album... and STA their second best. i dont know about u kid..but whatever.. were all held to our own opinion i guess

I'm weird like that, but most of my friends agree though. Ok, only 2 but I don't care, Toxicity is my favorite album ever.

[Mr. Hankie]

1. Needles
2. Innervision
3. Aerials
4. Chop Suey
5. Boom
6. Spiders
7. PLUCK
8. Roulette
9. Prison Song
10. Sugar

Man that was the hardest thing I have done all day, and I just got done playing Clue.

[stringbreaker]

That's gay STA is my favorite album.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

A lot of people like Toxicity too. Most people think that Toxicity and S/T are their best. Mesmerize and STA bringing up the rear.

[nirvana_33]

Ok, It IS an official release and the band credit it as so.

The songs that werent used on toxicity got leaked and SOAD didnt like unfinished versions of there songs being listened to so they re-recorded them and released them as STA

A few facts you might not know:

1, There where only 2 new songs on the album: Ego Brain And Roulette
2, However, Roulette was infact one of the first SOAD songs ever written.
3, 2 other leaked songs from Toxicity werent re-recorded: Forever And Virginity.



I know too much :thumb: ... :lol:

1 and 2 contradict. It can't be new if it's old. It was written before they had a contract. And although STA was an offical release, doesn't mean it's an offical album.

[xrockerachickx]

A lot of people like Toxicity too. Most people think that Toxicity and S/T are their best. Mesmerize and STA bringing up the rear.

yeah I'm one of those people... there WERE the best :naughty:

[Thor]

I think that SOAD will never be able to top their first album. It's just too perfect.

[Mr. Hankie]

1 and 2 contradict. It can't be new if it's old. It was written before they had a contract. And although STA was an offical release, doesn't mean it's an offical album.

They put music to it, therefore it is still new.

[Child of the Grave]

I think that SOAD will never be able to top their first album. It's just too perfect.
everything about their first album is perfect except the ****ty sound quality.

[YDload]

I think Mesmerize may have topped their self-titled album for me. It brings back that exotic Greek/Arabian quality that Toxicity was kind of lacking (there was still some but not enough), and it proves that this band still has a lot of creative juice left.

[Moses]

I think Mezmerize is better than Toxicity. It has more color and it's getting kinda hard for me to listen to Toxicity now. I'm one of the few that liked STA.

[+zero+]

My top ten
1.p.l.u.c.k.
2.soil
3.sugar
4.prison song
5.spiders
6.spycho
7.holy mountain(to be on hypnotize)
8.a.d.d.
9.streamline
10.friik!

thats what i could think of off the top of my head quick

[azbassman]

I think Mezmerize is better than Toxicity. It has more color and it's getting kinda hard for me to listen to Toxicity now. I'm one of the few that liked STA.
Dont get me wrong i liked STA im just saying its my least favorite of all of there albums.

[azbassman]

Does anyone have any idea when hypnotize will be coming out?

STA is the album which introduced me to he band, for that reason I will always love it. I definately think it is better than the new album, thats not to say I dont enjoy the new album but I do really like STA.

[PepsiMetal]

Are you guys using STA for "Steal This Album" or "Self Titled Album"?

[azbassman]

Are you guys using STA for "Steal This Album" or "Self Titled Album"?
S/T=Self title

[blackout]

I can do the guitars (depending on the song) as soon as the drums are done.

[SoadBassPicker]

Man Shavo is an AWESOME bassist! But so is Daron. He plays bass on 8 of the 11 new songs on Mezmerize. Not that Shavo cant play them but Daron just said Hey I wanna play some bass. So Shavo was ok with that. Oh and Shavo is playing all the songs at concerts though.

Dude, Shavo is not that good. Not sure why alot of people think he is. He is the weekpoint of the band.

[Mr. Black]

I got into SOAD recently, holy hell. THey're really quite amazing, THe lyrics and the new types of music, listenin to Ariels, and its quite a strong song.

[slaughteredfirst]

Dude, Shavo is not that good. Not sure why alot of people think he is. He is the weekpoint of the band.

I pretty much would have to approve Mezmeriza over Self Titled myself. There isn't so much Serj for once, and the band actually try to experiment with catchier, more melodic like songs for once. And that's a good good thing.


Besides, Serj's gorilla-like vocals on Self Titled get kind of annoying after a couple songs.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I think Serj is a much better vocalist than Daron, though.

[xrockerachickx]

I think Serj is a much better vocalist than Daron, though.
definately... serj is better cuz daron's voice is like softer and it just has a different style. :naughty:

[Six Foot Revolver]

I personally think that Daron is a better singer than Serjj

Serj Tankian Vocals
Daron Malakian Guitar
Shavo Odadjian Bass
John Dolmayan Drums

Short history of the band
Serj and Daron became friends in 1993 when they met in a a recording studio and created the band Soil. Both of them went to an armenian private school in Hollywood. Shavo liked to hang around with Soil often and was asked to become the band's manager. Shavo then learnt how to play bass and joined the band. System then changed thier name to Victims Of A Down, a name Darron thought of, then Serj suggested System Of A Down, for he thought it brought more meaning. John was chosen to play drums just before there breakthrough took place. Rick Rubin who produced many bands including, Slayer, Red hot chili peppers, Danzig, Johnny Cash and the beastie boys, is introduced to Soil through a friend and gives them a record contract at American recordings. They release there self titled in 1998 this one had some hits they never became famous until they released Toxicity in 2001. Steal this album was released in 2002 and was a collection of unreleased tracks. There new album, Mesmerize, has a release date of 16th May and they have another album out in six months called hypnotise.

What songs are decided so far?

Violenbt Pornography and Soil?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I like Serj better, he writes better lyrics too.

Daron has always written lyrics. He didn't just start writing them on Mezmerize, he just basically took over now. :p In his GW interview, he said something along the lines of "I've always written the choruses to our songs, but now I've beeng writing more of the verses as well." :shrug:

Their new album was decent but not on the level of toxicity...they would be so much better if they had a l337 bassist

I think a bassist that could actaully be heard would suffice as well. :lol:

yes i have that issue also, he said he has written almost every SOAD chorus, and some full songs before Mezmerize (Prison Song and Deer Dance i think he named specifically, i dont remember what other ones though).

Because its hard to write drums to the original, The guitars/bass/vocals would be fine that was but they wouldnt match the drums.

Feel free to add guitar to them, But keep a seperate guitar track for the mixing.

[PepsiMetal]

I like the drum track for violent pornography, but I didnt listen to the others. It is midi like you said, so it's not as good as normal drums, but it's still great.

[PepsiMetal]

Anybody know what nationality these guys actually are, cos the names seem a bit european to me

They have armenian backgrounds, but they were all born/raised in los angeles. Or at least daron and serj are both from la.

WOW 2nd time I double posted. I'll keep the count.

[Skit]

Unfortunatly its very hard to find a real drummer who can/will record drums so you have to settle for midi.

If a drummer comes along and wants to record feel free :thumb:

[blackout]

Nice one skit, I'll probably have a go at VP and soil tomorrow, I'm trying to get my own cover of toxicity done today.

If you find the time, could you maybe make a drum track for This Cocaine or Know? I've been looking for one online but they're proving quite hard to find.

I can respect your opinion but Serj is definatly a talented vocalist.



id say hes more talented then many singers today but compared to Plant, Mercury, even Vedder hes only par...i shouldnt have said hes crap just not as good a musican as the drummer and the guitarist...how ever i stand by what i said about shavo

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I would the overall talent of each member like so:

Serj Tankian- Great lyricist, very wide vocal range. Very original
John Dolmayan- Fairly good drummer as far as modern rock goes. Plus, he can write some cool little drum fills.
Daron Malakian- There is nothing special about his guitar playing. Most of his riffs are just powerchords churned out as fast as possible without alt. picking. On Mezmerize, he did incorporate more unique scales to create some cooler exotic-sounding riffs in Radio/Video
Shavo Odadjin- This man is just there because he has cool facial hair. He is hardly ever heard, and when he is, he is just following the guitar.

[YDload]

Daron Malakian- There is nothing special about his guitar playing. Most of his riffs are just powerchords churned out as fast as possible without alt. picking. On Mezmerize, he did incorporate more unique scales to create some cooler exotic-sounding riffs in Radio/Video.

You think that's the first time he ever used "unique scales?" Aren't you a little curious as to why everyone praises the first album so much? It's the Eastern riffs man!

Personnally, i think John a bit better than just fairly good. A lot of the stuff he does doesn't sound hard, but really is.

For example, the Revenga chorus. Sounds simple enough, right? He's actually playing two completely differnt beats at the same (one with the left hand, one with the right). Very hard to do as you're using two very different timings at the same time. <--Indirect quote from my friend who's a drummer.

Also, Daron is the main lyricist now. And as a guitarist myself, I think his writing is fairly interesting and unique, even if it is mostly based around powerchords.

But thats just my opinion. :wave:

well all i have to Say is that i think this is all true. but just my opinion. Serj rocks! Daron has his own style. Shavo just looks kool and he's just like any other bass player. and John does play good! well THEY ALL ROCK :naughty:

disagree about john. right when i started drums i loved soad and the first song i learned was sugar and spiders soon after that.. and he amazed me, especially live. he plays sugar so much different live and it sounds soo good. and daron rights some sweet stuff too, i mean some solos are hard.. otherwise i agree.. thats my opinion

ps- Ill try to record like next time i go over to my friends house, its just weve been practicing at my guitarists house alot lately since we have a gig coming up in less than a week.

[PepsiMetal]

Serj Tankian- Great lyricist, very wide vocal range. Very original

Agreed.

John Dolmayan- Fairly good drummer as far as modern rock goes. Plus, he can write some cool little drum fills.

I like his drumming alot. He doesn't just use simple beats. I like his use of the little cymbals and that bell or whatever it is he uses live. It adds more originality to the songs imo.

Daron Malakian- There is nothing special about his guitar playing. Most of his riffs are just powerchords churned out as fast as possible without alt. picking. On Mezmerize, he did incorporate more unique scales to create some cooler exotic-sounding riffs in Radio/Video

Agreed. Daron is an above average guitarist, and most of his riffs have used powerchords most of the time. Although he has started to expand a little more like you pointed out in radio/video. Also he has added nice intros to most songs.

Shavo Odadjin- This man is just there because he has cool facial hair. He is hardly ever heard, and when he is, he is just following the guitar.

Agreed. Shavo is barely ever heard, and he's an ok bassist I guess. He is heard in psycho although nothing impressive as far as the bass goes.

I still think Dolmayan is very, very good. He has awesome drum-rolls, and plays some fast/complex music. Especially on the S/T. Listen to PLUCK especially. He's VERY VERY good on that song.

[+zero+]

yea that song is pretty fast.. i was ginna try that but the cords always get in my way from the headphones.. i guess its worth a try.

[Moses]

I think Dolmayan is best on Sugar. He plays a pretty mean jazz beat for a rock drummer. Even though IEAIEO has a cool beat it's fairly easy.

[+zero+]

yea that fast stuff on the ride is not easy. i cant get it down to well

[Moses]

I can do it but it takes effort, jazz is definately demanding.

On another note, I hope Hypnotize is a little wierder than Mezmerize.

[azbassman]

On another note, I hope Hypnotize is a little wierder than Mezmerize.
Agreed...Mezmerize didnt have all the "weirdness" that was in the first couple of albums.

[Moses]

It also lacked in the lyrics department. Radio Video's lyrics were so repetative even though I love the song.

Serj > Daron

[azbassman]

I like darons vocals but thats it...IMO i thought the albums were much better when daron only did backup instead of takeing over...and since hes doing more on vocals it seems to have dimminished his guitar playing. He need to focus on playing more than singing and i think the albums would improve

[Moses]

I meant in terms of lyrics that Serj > Daron. Serj is a better singer too but somtimes I can go for some Daron. Alot of the songs just repeat the same line over and over on this one. I still love it though.

[TheSubtleArts]

I hope Hypnotize is heavier than Mezmerize also.

I like Mezmerize a lot, so if any of the Hypnotize songs are better then I'll be very excited. Either way, I think I'll hold off on downloading them and just wait until the singles start showing up on the radio and MTV. If the first single from Hypnotize is anything like BYOB then it will be unavoidable on modern rock stations.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Speaking of BYOB, does anyone else find it to be one of the weakest tracks on Mezmerize? I mean, wtf, there is very little to it, even for a SoaD song. :rolleyes: Maybe it's just the fact that I've heard it far too many times on the radio, but i really think that it was a bad choice for a single. Maybe they chose to release it because it had such a blunt(yet moronic) message to go along with it.

[PepsiMetal]

I still like BYOB but nowhere as much as most of other songs. The only song that I would rate even less than BYOB is cigaro. I liked cigaro before mezmerize came out but not much anymore.

IMO its an ok song but deffinantly not good enough for the single...I think the single instead of B.Y.O.B should have been Violent Pornography or Sad Statue.

I skip that and Cigaro over when listening to Mezmerize.

Dont take it too seriously this is in no way the final mix of the song!

If anyone wants to record vocals feel free :thumb:



Edit: :lol: Well its panned itself all into one speaker when saving... oh well you can still donwload if you want :upset:
I say keep it like that, the poor quality and how raw it sounds it great and really suits the song :thumb:

That sounds pretty good, but the drums are barely audible. Send me the bass track and I'll see what I can do. jmann112@gmail.com
