Walmart Kmart and Target are record stores?

Ha.

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.

i love steal this album..

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

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..........

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

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.

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

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.

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?

[QUOTE=Follow The Reaper]Sad Statue?[/QUOTE]


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

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

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.

[QUOTE=cigaro88]yeah sad statue is a good song, i like it too[/QUOTE]

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???

I love the whole da[B][I][/B][/I]mn disc, but Sad Statue, This Cocaine, and Violent Po[B][I][/B][/I]rnography are my favorties.

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.

Mezmerize is their worst album so far.

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

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

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.

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

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-****?).

Agreed I really like Old School

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

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

Yay armenians.

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.

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.

Cigaro is a political song.

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.
