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

[QUOTE=In Chains 36]I think Serj is a much better vocalist than Daron, though.[/QUOTE]
definately... serj is better cuz daron's voice is like softer and it just has a different style. :naughty:

I personally think that Daron is a better singer than Serjj

[QUOTE=Six Foot Revolver][B][U]Members[/U][/B]
Serj Tankian Vocals
Daron Malakian Guitar
Shavo Odadjian Bass
John Dolmayan Drums

[B][U]Short history of the band[/U][/B]
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.

[QUOTE=metty16]you forgot the album "mezmerize"[/QUOTE]

Several days ago yes

[QUOTE=Six Foot Revolver][B]ATTN People of this thread:[/B] The entries for the cover competition has to be done for August 1st but Jake has told me that he may bend it for us so tell me when you can do them by if you can do them :thumb:[/QUOTE]

I can have the Drums and Bass Done at the weekend,
What songs are decided so far?

Violenbt Pornography and Soil?

[QUOTE=letmypeopleho]I like Serj better, he writes better lyrics too.[/QUOTE]

Daron has always written lyrics. He didn't just start writing them on [I]Mezmerize[/I], 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:

Do you fancy playing guitar for the cover band Doc?

That would motivate me to learn Forest. :cool: Yeah, Gimme a couple of days, and I shall see if I have the time and motivation.

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).

I can't help but laugh my as[B][I][/I][/B]s off at people who say "Man, I hate Mezmerize because Daron is a sucky writer! Toxicity is so much better!"

Yeah yeah, whatever..:rolleyes:

toxicity was better, and mezmerize doesnt suck, its just not as good. darons lyrics dont suck either, theyre just different

That's what I'm saying...But eh, there are some seriously idiotic fanboys out there. :shrug:

Im sorry guys but unless you want midi drums I cant make the drums for you.

I can still play bass though :thumb:

I have organised us a band, kinda:

Lord Abortion: Vocals
Dr. Jake Destructo: Guitar
Skit: Bass
Skit?: Drum Machine

I'll sing for you, unfortunately I don't know VP or soil, being a toxicity fanboy as I am...

Kk, then I say we just start with Forest, since I don't know Soil or Violent Pornography.
