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

[Skit]

Just saw the video for 'Question', its sexy. Anyone else seen it?

Yeah its sweet, one of there better videos :cool:

[Kyle]

Yeah its sweet, one of there better videos :cool:
Yeah, Its alot better than the BYOB video, I didnt like that. Although I did like the chorus section bit of the BYOB video, still makes me laugh.

[TheSubtleArts]

Its a good video. Shavo did a good job.

[+zero+]

I saw it on Tv. It was on the english chanell 'scuzz'.

[PepsiMetal]

System Of A Down’s newest video, “Question!,” will exclusively premiere simultaneously on both systemofadown.com and MTV.com on August 5 at 10am EDT/7am PDT.

From systemofadown.com

I haven't seen the vid yet but will in 2 days.

[Skit]

You can download it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=42GRN8P8

But be warned the file size is stupidly big :lol:

[Rothmans]

I think the new video is alright.

[Moses]

Awesome!! Question is the new single? How can somthing in a weird time signature go on the air?

[Blizzink]

Question! has been anounced as the new single for quite some time, I keep hearing my radio station talk about it but I have yet to hear it on there.

[Moses]

I don't listen to the radio or watch TV so I didn't know.

/feels late

[Blizzink]

You ever listened to the Buzz before? Probably not, I doubt you'd have a reason to go up to sheboygan county.

[Moses]

Yeah I'll be in East Troy for Ozzfest though. I haven't listened to the Buzz before but I think I've heard of it.

[Blizzink]

WHAT?! You got tickets to Ozzfest? Oh god I'm so jealous. I really wanted to see Maiden but there's no way now. Hopefully I'll make it to the gigantour.

[Dude3]

I wanted to go to Ozzfest so bad! I would've gone for more a lot of the bands. But, I'm not driving 4 hours+ to West Palm Beach. I guess I'll go nex year is its good.

[+zero+]

eh.. i didnt really feel like i had to be at ozzfest since the main reason why ide go was to see mudvayne, and i just saw them a few months ago.

[poprocks&coke]

I didn't like Toxicity much, but I'm listening to Roulette right now... Steal this Album is my favourite SOAD album.

Awesome band.

[xrockerachickx]

I didn't like Toxicity much, but I'm listening to Roulette right now... Steal this Album is my favourite SOAD album.

Awesome band.
wow! STA is ur favorite album... now THATS a first :naughty: but yeah, the band ****in rox!!!

[GenuineImitation]

I just got Mezmoize. I like it, but its not as good as Toxicity or their Self-titled.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I knew question would be a single! By far my favorite song on Mezmerize. It's the only 'epic' SOAD song on the album, for me at least.

[YDload]

I knew question would be a single! By far my favorite song on Mezmerize. It's the only 'epic' SOAD song on the album, for me at least.

But I don't want it to be a single. It's my favorite song off of Mezmerize and now it might be overplayed like BYOB :( :(

[Blizzink]

Ah, the Question! video is up on the official website, and I really, really like it. Question! is by far my favorite song, and I don't have to go into "System mode" or whatever you'd call it to have to like it, it's a great song through and through.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I never really liked Question! but the video is really good. It has the kid off the Toxicity video in it heh.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

The only STA song I like is I-E-A-I-A-I-O - that song is fvckin awesome.

[GaggingOrder]

Question is a decent song, but a weaker point on the album.

[TheSubtleArts]

i think its a good choice for a single and a good video.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Meh I reckon that Cigaro would be the perfect single if it had more... radio friendly lyrics. Maybe if they changed the lyrics and made it comical for the people who owned the album "My ____ is much bigger than yours".

The person who thinks up the most humorous word to go there gets imaginary rep :)

hey... nobody said that "cok" (i know its misspelled ok?) is another meaning for ur cok... y cant it just mean rooster. so i would say keep the "cok", if not then rooster is fine. "My rooster is much bigger than yours", and it would still keep its message out there lol.

[Kyle]

its my favorite song on the album :confused:

The only STA song I like is I-E-A-I-A-I-O - that song is fvckin awesomeif you like that song, chances are there will be a few more you like.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I don't actually own Steal This Album but I have heard The Highway Song, Innervision and I-E-A-I-A-I-O. From these tracks it actually sounds like a brilliant album.

[PepsiMetal]

Question! video is not on soad's or columbia record's site as well.

http://blog.columbiarecords.com/system/news.html#question

It was a pretty good video, definetely better than BYOB. They should have done violent pornography or sad statue instead of Question! though.

[Blizzink]

It's right under the news section on the official website..

[soad517]

i wish i could watch it but my computer blows.. Question! i would say has some of the best lyrics on the cd. It's one of the few written by Serj alone.

[GaggingOrder]

It shows. It's one of the few that relies on a more poetic than quirky approach.

[Skit]

The only STA song I like is I-E-A-I-A-I-O - that song is fvckin awesome.

Knight Rider Anyone?

:lol:

[xrockerachickx]

I would say, Question is by far one of their best videos...

[† †øXÍÇ Ç͆¥ †]

does anyone know how daron gets his tone?

[+zero+]

i wanna make another song.. lets do violent pornography

[blackout]

I'm up for it.

[Skit]

Me three :thumb:

[blackout]

Who knows what amp(s) Daron was using when he recorded Mesmerize? All the websites I'm finding at the moment are way out of date.

And did he actually use a Mode 4 to record anything, or was it just a live amp? I've fallen in love with his tone on everything after S/T, so i'm intrigued.

i know daron uses marshalls.. or did.. ive seen all these pictures of him laying on top of his marshalls so yea.. maybe hes still with marshall, although he did leave Ibanez for Gibson. ide say Marshall.

[Agitator01]

I thought soil were still going now though. Did they not make that song called Halo?

[maidenmetallica]

if you like that song, chances are there will be a few more you like.
I actually liked I-E-A-I-A-I-O and thought the rest of the album sucked (well except for innervision which was okay but sounded like something recycled off the toxicity album).


ps. Soad has the worst lyrics of any rock group since Def Leppard.

Although they're not simple so not everyone will understand, but they have good lyrics if you get them. :thumb:

Not true at all. They're just a little abstract and silly and times.

I agree with you on STA, though. I like I-E-A-I-A-I-O, but hate the rest of the album.

Here's my album list (from best to worst):
S/T
Toxicity
Mezmerize
STA

1. It does sound like it's recycled because the entire album was. There all B-sides, songs that didn't make it onto S/T and Toxicity.

2. Wrong.

[Kage]

2. Wrong.
Then again, "They always send the poor! They always send the poor!" is pretty damned laughable.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Well, I hate to dig into one of your favorite bands, but "I wanna penetrate you...I wanna **** you like an animal" is also fairly laughable, but I know that Trent is a good lyricist because I've heard a few other songs. Listen to more of their stuff, and it becomes evident that they dont suck as bad as BYOB's lyrics. Granted, they aren't the most descriptive, but Serj is a better lyrical talent than most of the mainstream rockers out there.

Oooh...that hurt, man. :p

I've noticed that Serj is far better lyrically than Daron. Didn't Daron write a lot of the crappy lyrics on the new album?

EDIT: By the way, I used to be a huge fan of Toxicity and their S/T, so I have heard most of their material.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

People are under the misconception that Daron wrote most of the lyrics on Mezmerize, when really, he's always written bits and peices of their songs. Typically, Daron says that he writes the chorus, and Serj writes the verses and everything. But yes, Daron did do more lyrics, and the results aren't as satisfying. :shrug:

[maidenmetallica]

Then again, "They always send the poor! They always send the poor!" is pretty damned laughable.
I thought it was one of the better lines on the album. Couldn't have been worse than, "Everybody ****s...Everybody sucks," or "My **** is much bigger than yours."
In general their lines have no meaning and are completely random, having nothing to do with the lines before. And some of their lyrics are just childish.

you obviously dont know anything about soad.. My "**** is much bigger than yours" are not just lyrics, its a metaphor, and if you knew what it meant than you might look at the song differently. but the everybody livin now part, yea those are pretty bad lyrics..

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I kind of get borderline pissed when someone singles out a lyric and talks down a band's lyrics, because as a whole, System actually do have quite a group of better lyrics. Every band, no matter who you're talking about, will have a song or just a line of crappy lyrics. Take Tool for example; "If I'm the man and your the man and he's the man as well, then you should point the 'f'in finger up your aaaass" (Or something like that) That's crap, and of course someone could say that Maynard is a sucky writer, but then I'd bust out my theory on The Grudge, and Saturn, and all this other stuff, just to make that person cry. :)

Tangent++ :(

[Kage]

Yes, I could sense the anger at the post I made before. But you know my feelings on System...I just like to bash them for some reason :p

Very well said.. about the tool thing especially.

[GiB]

Aeriels is an awesome song i have vids live from Big Day out 2004.

[Skit]

Yeah most of SOAD's lyrics are metaphors for something or other :p

On a releated topic anyone got Serj's book?
It rules and really shows off his writing :thumb:

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

The best SOAD lyrics were the straight-forward, well thought-out lyrics of Prison Song. Sure, it may sound like a joke; but in the song they have an argument and literally back it up with statistics. Plus, they have this uncanny way of making the lyrics memorable. I've heard people who are ignorant to politics yell things like "...while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences!"

Yeah sometimes I dislike really obvious in your face lyrics (one of the reasons I have gone off RATM) but I think they work in the prison song. Sometimes you have to sing witout dodging round the subject with metaphors and other such techniques.

I like the lyrics to ATWA, Deer Dance and CUBErt

[Moses]

I like most of the lyrics before Mesmerize. Let's hope Serj writes the ones for Hypnotize. Also let's hope it's longer.

[Skit]

:lol: yeah I gotta agree about the Prison Song stats sticking.

[+zero+]

the lyrics in aeriels are pretty cool.. and the only song on mezmerize thats has like bad bad lyrics is radio/video, but the make up for that by havnig cool instuments.

[xrockerachickx]

I like how they do the metaphoric lyrics. I feel the song more that way, cuz not a lot of people get the songs message. When you do, then it means that you are really into the song, band, and the message behing the song. Like +zero+ said, it makes us look at the song differently and with more respect. I hope Serj writes Hypnotize's lyrics though, i just like his way of thinking.

[YaNaSdEeP]

System of a Down has awesome lyrics. They are sort of like Tool in that a lot of the words have underlying meanings. I like how they mixed up the vocals more on mesmerize with daron singing more, but hopefully its a one time thing. I'd guess that every SOAD fan agrees that mesmerize was a weak album compared to their previous releases (including Steal this Album), but is still decent. Question! is an awesome song. By the way System of a Down switched the release of mesmerize with Hypnotize because they all thought hypnotize was a far stronger album and they wanted to save the best for last. Either Serj or Daron said in Rolling Stone that mesmerize was only a preview of hypnotize.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Okay, let's not make out SOAD to be the Bob Dylan of nu-metal.

Would somebody like to translate: "I want to fvck my way to the garden because everyone needs a motherfvcker."

[mudvayne420]

sup people, i heard that on hypnotize their going to have an instrumental called hezze.

[AIC/EAZY-E]

Um...Awesome, just awesome, that's a wick name for a song, I can't wait for it. I'm going to skip to that track as soon as I get Hypnotize. Thanks for the preview. I'll tell everyone at school.
I find there to be NO bad tracks on Mesmerize, they all have their enjoyable moments.
I don't think the songs by themselves beat the single songs on S/T or Toxicity, but as a whole I find it far more consistent then the aforementioned albums.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

sup people, i heard that on hypnotize their going to have an instrumental called hezze.

Where did you hear this?

[+zero+]

i like instrumentals..

[Blizzink]

i like instrumentals..

Yes, lots of people do.

[PepsiMetal]

Hmm, an instrumental. While that would be great, I doubt they'll have a song on hypnotize that's instrumental.

[xrockerachickx]

SOAD doing an instrumental? kool, but i dont think they'll go for it either. If they do, then I guess they're trying out new things. But yeah, where did u hear this?

[Skit]

Daron and Shavo where discussing it in an interview recently, its called "Hezze" I believe

[Moses]

Well lets see......

/puts on professors glasses

"I want to **** my way to the garden"

The "garden" could be a certain goal of an individual. "****" could mean the work that has to be performed to get to a goal. He wants to get somewhere or somthing, particularly what the goal is.

"Because everyone needs a mother****er"

Here, I think he's stating that someone messed somthing up for him and that's why he needs to work towards that goal and get to where he once was.

It'd be alot more accurate if the whole song was analyzed. Is anyone up for analyzations?

[1One1]

SOAD freakin own. They're a joke band who have serious political messages.

Ha! It's George Bush! A joke president who has serious responsibilities!

oh dont take the band too seriously.. what the use of analysing

[1One1]

When SOAD have something to say, they make it obvious.

EG: "All you maggots smoking fags out there on Sunset Blvd"

When SOAD DONT have something to say, they spout BULL****.

EG: "BOUNCE! Pogo Pogo Pogo Pogo Pogo BOUNCE!"

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Daron and Shavo where discussing it in an interview recently, its called "Hezze" I believe
If they do it I hope there a good solo in there. I think that would be a good idea. Also, any new news on Hypnotize?

Launch Radio Networks reports: System Of A Down is reportedly eyeing November 15 as the release date for "Hypnotize", the companion album to the band's first album of 2005, "Mezmerize". Both discs were recorded at the same time, and guitarist Daron Malakian told Launch that he doesn't think they're all that different. "I'm so inside of it that maybe that's a little tough for me to tell, but I don't see too big of a difference," he said. "I see them both as one record, you know? Not to compare us to, like, The Beathles, but the only thing I can compare it to is, like, you listen to the 'White Album' and it's a double album, but, like, they're just a bunch of great songs."

The release date for "Hypnotize" has not been officially confirmed yet. "Mezmerize" was released on May 17 and has sold nearly 1.3 million copies in the U.S.

Daron Malakian recently told MTV.com that "Hypnotize" will feature System Of A Down's first instrumental, called "Hezze". Malakian said, "I just think it's cool to have an instrumental. Not enough people put instrumentals on their albums anymore." The track is influenced by Middle Eastern music, but also features rock and disco elements.

Malakian also said that the band's next single would probably be the title track from "Hypnotize".

Meanwhile, System singer Serj Tankian recently remixed a track by late rapper Notorious B.I.G., called "Who Shot Ya", for an upcoming and unspecified video game.

[Tele_Dude]

Hypnotize will be good. Instrumental, power metal stuff, more solos, etc..
I think this will be BIG!

[Skit]

I_like_metal only news I have is this, Dont know if you've heard it:

Next single is going to be Hypnotise (the song) then the one after will be off mezmerize again.
2 release days have been floating around "27th September" or "27th Novermber" no confirmation of which on it'll be yet...although I think november.

Tracklist so far:

Kill Rock ‘N’ Roll
Holy Mountain
Attack
Vicinity (of Obscenity)
Hypnotize
Lonely Day
Hezze
Soldier Side (Full song)
Tentative


Thats all I got so far, Its all official and confirmed apart from the release date and tentative (played live but no mention of it in interviews etc) :thumb:

[Tele_Dude]

Yeah, they are releasing Hypnotize as a single, then they will go back to Mezmerize and release one single from there, and then some of Hypnotize again. Sounds good!

"Vicinity of Obcenity has one of Darons greates moments" Serj said this in an interview. Its a solo with some wah, delay, phaser, and stuff!!
Im so exited!!!

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I'm Interested to hear the full version of Soldier Side, Heeze sounds cool, and I'm hoping that Vicinity is as good as they say it is. I'm hoping it will be alot better than Mezmerize.

I doubt that it will come out in September because they would have said something by now.

[Skit]

Heres more info on each song:


Kill Rock ‘N’ Roll – Played Live, About a rabbit Daron killed in his car

Holy Mountain – Played live, About 2 mountains in armeania (sp?)

Attack – “Starts with a thrash riff and explodes into yet another hugely melodic verse. 'We attack, attack, attack!' screams Serj Tankian. 'Attack all the homes and villages/Attack all the schools and hospitals.'” – Kerrang!

“‘Attack’ is first-pumping, Iron Maiden-style power metal” – Revolver

Vicinity (of Obscenity) – “Proof that they haven't lost their love of the quirky, here SOAD sing about 'terracotta pie' amid other, nonsensical lyrics. Throwing their complete bag of tricks into one song, 'Vicinity of Obscenity' is the band's very own bad acid trip put to music.” – Kerrang!

“‘Vicinity’ contains impenetrable lyrics like ‘Banana, banana, banana, terracotta/ banana, terracotta, terracotta pie’” – Kerrang!

“‘Vicinity of Obscenity,’ an irrepressibly screwy homage to Frank Zappa that dishes out absurd lyrics like ‘Feel the sweet / Beat the meat.’” – Mean Street

“‘Vicinity,’ which mixes a party-hearty Seventies disco groove with schizoid tempo shifts and brain-frying guitar feedback” – Revolver

"Probably the craziest song I've ever written." - Serj

Hypnotize – “Malakian and Tankian trade vocal lines over an Indian-tinged riff, followed by a head nodding groove over which the guitarist reveals he's 'just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl'.” – Kerrang!

“‘Hypnotize’ finds Serj and Daron harmonizing on the same line (‘I’m just sitting in my car / Waiting for my girl’)” – Mean Street

“Malakian's piercingly high vocals on the stomping ‘Hypnotize’ would make Rob Halford doff his leather cap in appreciation” – Revolver

“The song ‘Hypnotize,’ Malakian says, was inspired by his frustration with those who would rather blindly follow their leaders than think for themselves, as well as the propaganda-spouting pundits who reinforce their behavior.” - Revolver

"'They disguise it, hypnotize it/ Television made you buy it,' Malakian sings in the opening verse. 'Mesmerize the simple-minded/ Propaganda leaves us blinded,' he sings later." - mtv.com

Lonely Day – “A mino-key rock ballad built around Malakian's plaintive pledge of ‘And if you go/I want to go with you/And if you die/I want to die with you’ and capped with dizzying guitar solo, ‘Lonely Day’ sounds a little like Green Day would if Billie Joe Armstrong had grown up on a steady diet of late-Seventies Scorpions and UFO recording” - Revolver

Hezze - "The second half of System of a Down's Mezmerize/Hypnotize will feature the band's first instrumental" - mtv.com

"The 4-minute track is based on Middle-Eastern music but also includes rock and disco elements" - mtv.com

Soldier Side - According to Serj in a recent interview, Soldier Side will be the final track on Hypnotize.

Tentative– Played Live, Mellow chorus with Serj and Daron harmonizing on the line 'Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?'

[DaveTheAmazing]

:O I heard there's only gunna be 5 songs on the Hypnotise. Boy was I mis-informed.

[Skit]

5 songs!?
:lol: man would that be a rip off :lol:

I think the person would told you was probably pissed at the length off mez and being sarcastic :thumb:

[cramboli]

Read the interview with shavo in bass guitar mag it tells about the two cds are suppoused to be a reality check almost in the everlasting artistic form of music...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

SOAD freakin own. They're a joke band who have serious political messages.

Ha! It's George Bush! A joke president who has serious responsibilities!

(Lets not get into dubya's ineptitude mmkay?)

Way to bandwagon, 12 year old.

:rolleyes:

[1One1]

Bandwagon? Hardly. I cant help it if the general consensus is that George Bush is an inept fool can I now?

[+zero+]

:lol: BOUNCE! Pogo Pogo Pogo Pogo Pogo BOUNCE!" which song is that

that song would be bounce of toxicity.(number 7)

when does hypnotize come out.? september 1st was the original release date. is that still it?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

November 18th is what I heard on the radio the other day.

[Skit]

Late November, I've got told the 22nd :thumb:

Good write up mate. I checked out the new album and it is pretty good. I will go pick it up when I get some money.

[Skit]

The singles out tommorrow...EVERYONE BUY!

:thumb:

[Tele_Dude]

Why are everyone complaining on the length of Mezmerize?? I think you should be very happy abouth the length. Remember: Mezmerize/Hypnotize is 1 cd. They just kinda cut it in two. So Hypnotize will probably be about the same length as Mezmerize.

[Skit]

All there albums arnt much longer anyway, I think there longest is something like 45 minuites

[Tele_Dude]

Yeah, thats right. I think people have been excepting too much from Mez/Hyp.
It will rock anyway, though

[+zero+]

im pissed.. i thought it was coming out september 1st! i pre-ordered the cd and the dude working said i could pick it up on sept. 1st.. im angry..

[xrockerachickx]

well the date i heard is definately late November... because it was coming out 6 months after the release of Mezmerize. it sux that i havent heard any of the Hypnotize tracks. someone told me i can get at least one like on P2P's, bbut there isnt any anywere. can someone tell me where i can find or hear one? whats all this trash talking about the band? they rock! and if Mezmerize wasnt what some people expected, it cuz that was just a taste of Hypnotize, which will definately rock harder.

You have to download them.

Has anyone gone to soadfans.com and read the concert reviews? I'm sorry but everyone reviewing are complete idiots. How fanboy/girl can you get. I get that it IS mainly a SOAD concert, but they dismiss The Mars Volta and Bad Acid Trip as some talentless, boring bands that have nothing to offer. I can imagine all the SOAD fans being completely disrespectful to that kind of music, kind of like Tool fans to Meshuggah. It just really pisses me off that no one addresses it on the site too. I can understand since its a fan site, but at least show some respect.

What do you think reviews at thecomatorium.com are like? Face it, these two bands are both highly bizarre and completely insane, and their fanbases reflect that. Not to mention that neither one of them has a good reputation for live performances, so you're getting two completely opposite opinions from each band's hardcore fans.

Wait where in illinois is it? Im in st. louis maybe that's close if it's not near chicago.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Soil and PLUCK are so underrated.

[Kyle]

Soil and PLUCK are so underrated.
they are like my 2 favorite soad songs.

[blackout]

PLUCK is definately an amazing song. The harmony in the chorus is great.

I came across Marmalade, Virginity, Storaged and Defy You the other day on soulseek, anyone care to tell me where they're from?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

they are like my 2 favorite soad songs.

Same here. Both of those songs, especially PLUCK, create a definite argument for SOAD to be considered a math-metal band... Although, it does seem as if later they've made their music more accessible and therefore mainstream. ...But Soil and PLUCK are so badass!

[YDload]

PLUCK is definately an amazing song. The harmony in the chorus is great.

I came across Marmalade, Virginity, Storaged and Defy You the other day on soulseek, anyone care to tell me where they're from?

Marmalade is on the soundtrack to some movie, I believe it's Dee Snider's "Strangeland." It's my favorite non-album song of theirs, great guitar line.

[nathan]

system are one of the best bands today and are amazing live.

[xrockerachickx]

^^^ yeah well, thats pretty much what everyone would say CUZ THEY ARE!

[+zero+]

metro is probly my favorite non album song.. uh the illinois concert is on the border of wisconsin and illinois..(i live in wisconsin and its the closest their coming to me).. but yea i have to disagree about pluck and soil being underated. i mean pluck is like my favorite song of all and its alot of peoples favorite song also. and soil everybody likes because of the guitar solo.. well maybe thats just how it is around here.

[Kyle]

metro is probly my favorite non album song.
tht makes the two of us.

The newest album is probably the best i've heard in a while, most of the album was written by Daron, he even does Shavo's bass parts on most of the songs on the album. Therefore I declare this System album, Daron's album

Yes that was a good laugh. :lol: I agree with him on some parts but he is overly harsh. System of a Down aren't THAT bad.

[Moses]

I don't agree with alot of the things he's saying mostly because he's just bashing the lyrics and ideas rather than the actual songwriting. Also to say it was worse than American Idiot? I mean come on.

[YDload]

You're not supposed to AGREE with it. You're supposed to be outraged and send him a 1000 word e-mail full of spelling errors and personal threats. Then he posts those and we all have a hearty laugh at how angry people can get over a website :)

Or you can just laugh at the article regardless of your feelings on SOAD. Have a sense of humor, don't be like the Juggalos and go crazy when someone insults your favorite band!

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I like reading those band bashing things from SA. The guys are just so narrowminded. I really liked the Tool one. "Tool are a progressive band, the nerdiest genre ever concieved."

Hey wait, you're the one typing out hour long flames on bands, and posting them on a forum you have to pay for, right? PHAYLE!

You have a lot to learn, Tool boy.

1) These articles aren't typed out on the forums, they're part of the main website. You get paid for writing for the website.

2) It's a joke, and Tool fans are often the most vocal defenders of their favorite band, so doing an article on them is a natural thing. It proves that people who attach their egos to bands and get offended at their being insulted are ridiculous.

3) IT'S A JOKE. David Thorpe doesn't hate EVERY band he makes fun of; that's why it's so fun to read them. "Doctor" David Thorpe is more of a persona who himself is a mockery of music journalists who think they know everything and can objectively say which bands are "bad."

4) JOKE!

[PepsiMetal]

Wow, that's one of the stupidest articles ever even if it's meant to be a joke. And whoever wrote that article thinks roosevelt is the current president and he went to war in iraq. Roosevelt didn't fight in deserts, so I think those people can't interpret the lyrics. Unless this is all a joke which still made no sense.

[Westicle]

System of a Down has been one of the biggest downfalls of nu-metal. Toxicity was pretty amazing...then what the hell happened? They started screaming about Pepperoni Pizzas, and BYOB'ing. They used to be original. Something happened. Its upsetting.

Sellouts perhaps?

Grow up Westicle, they always wrote funny lyrics and then randomly had hidden messages, seriously, bands are aloud to do something you don't like without being 'sell outs.'

SYSTEM OF A DOWN SET TO RELEASE HYPNOTIZE NOVEMBER 22 ON CD AND DUALDISC

Six months after System of a Down's Mezmerize debuted at number one on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart, the uncompromising and outspoken quartet returns with Hypnotize, part two of a promised two-album set. American Recordings/Columbia will release two versions of Hypnotize, the band's fifth studio album, on November 22.

Both the CD and DualDisc versions feature 12 new songs as well as artwork by Vartan Malakian, father of SOAD's guitarist/singer Daron. The packaging for Hypnotize is specially designed to physically join Mezmerize and Hypnotize together, forming one unified product with continuous artwork. Additionally, the DualDisc edition will contain exclusive behind-the-scenes footage showing the making of both records.

More importantly, the albums interlock musically. The final track on Hypnotize, "Soldier Side" completes "Soldier Side Intro," which appears as the opening track on Mezmerize.

HYPNOTIZE Track Listing
1. "Attack"
2. "Dreaming"
3. "Kill Rock 'n Roll"
4. "Hypnotize"
5. "Stealing Society"
6. "Tentative"
7. "U-Fig"
8. "Holy Mountains"
9. "Vicinity of Obscenity"
10. "She's Like Heroin"
11. "Lonely Day"
12. "Soldier Side"

I just got this in a email. I wasnt sure if you lot new yet.

[i am the robots]

I just got this in a email. I wasnt sure if you lot new yet.

Didn't know the track listing, but it comes out the day before my birthday :cool:.

The only bit i dont get from that email was this bit,
More importantly, the albums interlock musically. The final track on Hypnotize, "Soldier Side" completes "Soldier Side Intro," which appears as the opening track on Mezmerize.
As why would a intro be after the main song if they inter lock:confused:

[Mizuzack]

It would have been smarter for System of a down to have made Soldier Side (Outro) on Mezmerize and then on Hypnotize make the first track Soldier Side. That would have made the albums connect better.

[Chris]

It would of made more sense for them to do that. Unless this is what they are going for, the 'out of the box thinking'.

[Mizuzack]

No i understand what they are doing.

Soldier Side (Intro) is like the beginning of the Mezmerize/Hypnotize collaboration and Soldier Side is the end of the collaboration.

Took me a while. :upset:

No S/T was heavier, rawer, and more mathematical than the others.

November 22nd. But im not sure if that is the UK or US release. As the UK is a day before the US date.

[Skit]

The 22nd is a Tuesday so thats probably the US release date as UK albums are released on a Monday, So more than likely UK release is the 21st of November :thumb:

Does anyone know how the The Mars Volta's set is?
I'm seeing them monday. :D

[Skit]

Mars Volta are apprently really awful live (well from what I've heard from show reviews of the supporting SOAD)

[Thor]

Mars Volta are apprently really awful live (well from what I've heard from show reviews of the supporting SOAD)
I wouldn't go to see them anyways. SOAD > TMV :D

[Kyle]

Mars Volta are apprently really awful live (well from what I've heard from show reviews of the supporting SOAD)
That makes no sense, Omar and Cedric were so good live for ATDI. I still reckon they'd be awesome live. :D

[YDload]

I think it depends on which band you like more, as you'll be inclined to enjoy the show by the band whose songs you know and can sing along to. SOAD used to be really bad at their live shows, but I can tell they've improved for this tour. Same thing with The Mars Volta, who everyone hated when they were opening for RHCP, but they eventually worked it out.

The reason people don't like TMV live NOW is because they extend their songs into jam sessions. Bring a pillow if that's not your thing!

[xrockerachickx]

well some of their lyrics r kool. but 4 them to b on tour w/ soad is kinda weird, cuz they have nothing in common. like i would understand if its like NIN or KoRn or something

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

NIN would make sense, since both bands recently released albums. With that said, from what I've seen, a ton of NIN fans despise SOAD. This would kind of defeat the purpose of the two bands touring together. :shrug:

To me, a SOAD/Audioslave tour would have been most probable, as both Serj and Tom Morello(of Audioslave) are key players in the Axis of Justice organization, and both bands released albums around the same time. The only problem with this is that both bands are widely mainstream, so there could be dispute as to which band would open for whom, etc... With SOAD and TMV, it's quite obvious who the headliner is.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

^^^
Good point. My friends went to see the show here last night and said both bands were great, so about the TMV thing, I doubt thats true.

[PepsiMetal]

What about slipknot and soad tour? Haha, that would be pretty weird. But then again, both bands are pretty big and who opens for who would be pretty tough to decide. Or soad and metallica. Man, that would be a great tour. C'mon metallica, release the **** album already.

[xrockerachickx]

when is metallica gonna release an album? i miss them. now slipknot and soad, too weird. theyre totally different. but ummm yeah NIN would b great with them. and who would open? no idea! but yeah, TMV just wasnt a good idea in my opinion... i mean theyre ok, but soad touring material. like whoever goes to the concert, will b to see SOAD and not TMV

[Kyle]

I prefer TMV :p I still like Soad but bare in mind that just because your not a big TMV fan, other people still are. There are lots of Mars Volta Fanboys (me included :D).

Oh and watch your spelling man, It's quite irratating.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I think that TMV+SOAD is better than anything you guys have mentioned.

[+zero+]

yea mars volta and soad are a good pair.. imagine this.. Rage Against the Machine and SOAD. that would be something.. and slipknot did go on tour with soad before i thought. idk. yea im going to see the show in rosemont this friday.WOOT! anyone else going to that show?

[PepsiMetal]

If slipknot toured with soad, who opened up for who?

[Huber]

You guys probably get this all the time, but when is Hypnotize due out?

[PepsiMetal]

November I think.

[Chris]

You guys probably get this all the time, but when is Hypnotize due out?
November 22nd

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

If slipknot toured with soad, who opened up for who?

Slipknot would probably open, as they only really acheived real mainstream success with Duality last year. SOAD is probably a lot more famous around the world, so Slipknot would probably open for SOAD.

[Blizzink]

yea mars volta and soad are a good pair.. imagine this.. Rage Against the Machine and SOAD. that would be something.. and slipknot did go on tour with soad before i thought. idk. yea im going to see the show in rosemont this friday.WOOT! anyone else going to that show?

I'm doing this here because I'll probably forget to tell you when I next see you, but you need to give me the money for the SOAD tickets as soon as you can. Also, I looked at the piece of paper my dad got emailed because of the ticket theft or misplacement, and I guess we have seating instead of ground tickets. I guess the day made a big difference, and we may have to go through gloating from Kyle. (I think it's Row H, section 116)

Anyone else here attending the Chicago date this friday?

[Silentia]

Mars Volta are apprently really awful live (well from what I've heard from show reviews of the supporting SOAD)

I've seen a LIVE DVD from the Mars Volta and they áre good live. Dámn good.

They're almost as good live, as their music is in general. D'oh. :)

Slipknot and SOAD were both on Ozzfest in '99 I think. Pretty sure that Slipknot had the bigger draw because they are angrier and know how to work the crowd with their frantic moshing on stage.

I still prefer SOAD, but the live show for Slipknot would be pretty intense.

[1-D]

System of a down is a great band..

[Silentia]

It is^^. Is saw them opening for Metallica, together with KoRn.

They had like two guys with masks and stuff just walking and jumping around the stage and over the amplifiers, just next to the audience. Sick shít. Too bad the music was pretty shítty compared to both Korn and Metallica.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I still prefer SOAD, but the live show for Slipknot would be pretty intense.

My cousin(who could be completely full of crap and/or just plain dumb) told me that at their live shows, they throw puke and dog **** on the crowd. That would be intense, yet, obviously a bit gross. :p

[PepsiMetal]

I have a couple of slipknot live vids and haven't seen them throw **** and stuff. lol. Although corey overuses the word ****/****ing/****ers/etc. intensively. :lol:

[soil332]

soil is the best song ever with cool solo

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Why The **** Did You Take Them Away From Us You Mother****er!!!!!!!!!

[xrockerachickx]

haha, well all i know is that i guess depending on the show, its how it will turn out. like Korn and Metallica, are both awesome bands, and they have more to offer to an audience than SOAD lyricwise and musicwise as well. but that still doesnt mean that SOAD sux cuz they dont. its just that in my opinion the audience would feel korns and metallicas song more and theyll go crazier

[PepsiMetal]

I'd definetely see soad over korn. Im not a fan of korn. But metallica on the other hand, well of course I'd see metallica more than almost any other band.

I got a 15 second clip of Hypnotize and you havent!

Na na, Na na, na, Na!

[xrockerachickx]

[Blizzink]

Well, I'll be at the concert in a few hours, and I may give a short review in here or something.

oooo aren't you special

/pretends not to be jealous

[PepsiMetal]

15 seconds? I'd rather wait for the album to come out so i can hear the song. Screw 15 seconds.

[Tele_Dude]

If slipknot toured with soad, who opened up for who?

System and Slipknot toured in November 2001, I think, and I believe System opened.

A Hypnotize bootleg will probably come out in a couple of days, cuz they have played it at 4 shows now, and I hope at least 1 person out of 100000 brought a recorder. Its wierd, all the recent shows has been posted at sites, except the ones where they played Hypnotize...

I think things have changed though.....slipknot were before Soad at donnington this year.

[AIC/EAZY-E]

I prefer TMV :p I still like Soad but bare in mind that just because your not a big TMV fan, other people still are. There are lots of Mars Volta Fanboys (me included :D).

Oh and watch your spelling man, It's quite irratating.

Irony ++

[Blizzink]

Hmm, that was a really great concert. They played so many songs, only thing I wish they had played that they didn't was Soil, but otherwise they were great. I may put up a small review soon.

Also, I want to dance like Cedric, and I want to do it now.

Yeah but those 15 seconds own everything on Mezmerize! :amaze:

[Expresso]

oh god... i just saw them in Chicago... there are no words... they absolutely NAILED every vocal, which they don't often do.

[+zero+]

hey dude i just saw them in chicago along with blizzink. where were u? and yea we dont need your pity for 15 seconds of hypnotize. WE HEARD THE WHOLE SONG!! woot! it kicked soo much @ss. anyone hear of hella? they were the first band and the only thing that attracted me to their performance was the drummer.. the whole dam time he was doing a drum solo. he might have taken a 30 second break out of like a half hour. his arms must have like fell off right when he got off stage. but yea soad were great, wish i would been in the standing only area, but i still had fun. and it was the wierdest thing. in lost in hollywood i heard an unfamiliar voice and i looked, and it was shavo singing the really high part with serj! i never pictured shavo singing high vocals it kinda made me laugh haha.

Can you tell us a bit about Hypnotize? (the song)

[Kyle]

Irony ++
:rolleyes: .....I was only trying to help someone out, the way he was spelling he would have got some serious flames if he posted somewhere else. Spelling mistakes most people are ok with, using text language people are not.

I saw System on the Mesmerize tour and they made a few mistakes but were still great, Im gonna go again on the Hypnotize one.

[azbassman]

Does anyone know the exact date when hypnotize is supposed to come out...im pretty sure its sometime in november.

[Kyle]

Novemeber 21st here in the UK. Which means the 22nd in the USA if I'm not mistaken.
