I like to sing along to it as well but the high notes on the last chorus for me are pretty hard to get. Actually, I can sing both of their parts in almost every song. :cool:

Lonely Day is one of my favorite songs on the album acually. Though I am not much of a singer, whenever I play through any System song on guitar I always sing along to whenever Daron songs to atleast make me a better backing vocalist.

I do the same, not just with SOAD though. Nowadays I have to practice lead singing more, though, since my band just recruited a second guitarist who kicks my a*s so I'll be singing more than I'll be playing. :/ Oh well. I have always fancied being like Serj Tankian. Or Matt Bellamy, or Brandon Boyd. Or JK.

:lol:

My favorite songs to sing are tentative,attack,kill rock n roll and vicinity of obscentity.
My favorite songs to play off of hyp are as follows:
Drums-Attack,U-fig,hypnotize and dreaming.
Bass-kill r'n'r,she's like heroine,hypnotize,attack and vicinity of obscenity.

I love singing to all of their songs. I really like most of their songs on the guitar. Some kinda suck for me though.

Lonely Day is being released as a single....
Why that one

Mambuto_O'Mally 01-21-2006 06:34 PM

That sucks. The last time they a lot of thime off, their next album was pretty mediocre. I just hope they don't try and release a CD similar to STA for H/M. That would be brutal.

They should've released Soldier Side as a single. That song blows all other off of H/M completely out of the water.

Blank 01-21-2006 06:41 PM

Oh god.
I hope emo kids don't see hear lonely day and assume soad is an emo band.
I don't want to have to deal with that.

And after lonely day apparently they're going with Lost in hollywood as the next single.
If you don't believe me read there def on wikipedia.

Mambuto_O'Mally 01-21-2006 06:51 PM

They siad that was going to be the next single after Hypnotize. That didn't happen though.

EDIT - Sweet post 2112 of this thread. :thumb:

What a fun adventure that would be.

On an A.D.D. note, I have finally seen the video for Spiders (yeah, I know...a little late. You all shush. =P) and I must say...freaky. Interesting...but freaky.

My thoughts exactly.

Porcupine_F*cker 01-21-2006 09:20 PM

System of A down is like one of those bands I listened to when I was 11, circa 1998. When I look back at it I'm like, "why did I listen to this stuff?" Up to Toxicity was decent, and then they made that Steal this Album garbage entirely off tracks they made 4 years ago that got excluded from the first and second albums. It had two good songs, but it's one of the worst 15 albums I've ever purchased.

That video is one of my favorites. Its pretty awesome.

Porcupine_F*cker 01-21-2006 09:45 PM

[QUOTE=cooter666]SOAD are definitly my fav band,imo each musician is original and unique,also shavo is an unreal bassist and serj is the best vocalist ever..
F**K THE SYSTEM[/QUOTE]

Shavo is pretty good with the fills. I'm not sure if he writes them, but they are pretty nice. Serjj on the other hand...... lets just leave it a that.

Mambuto_O'Mally 01-21-2006 10:00 PM

You know if you don't like the band, please leave, n00b!

Blank 01-21-2006 10:01 PM

Shavo is a good bassist.He does what's needed.
Nothing amazing,but a solid bassist.And I love Serj's vocals :amaze:

....yeah, I won't comment on this.

And Lonely day or Lost in Hollywood as singles is complete bull. Of all the songs to single.....$%^&^&@#$@!!!!!

Mambuto_O'Mally 01-21-2006 10:18 PM

It's gonna sell them records, so expect some more of those damn 10 year olds call them selves SOAD fans.

Blank 01-21-2006 10:25 PM

I always thought revenga would be a single to be honest.

PepsiMetal 01-22-2006 01:23 PM

[QUOTE=Porcupine_F*cker]they made that Steal this Album garbage entirely off tracks they made 4 years ago that got excluded from the first and second albums.[/QUOTE]

I bet if they never mentioned they wrote the songs before, the album would be liked and respected much more. I love Steal this album and couldn't care less if they thought it wasn't good enough for toxicity. Afterall, what they like wont mean we all will.

No no no, thats the Nirvana stage.:smash:

Kyle 01-22-2006 02:19 PM

Lost in Hollywood is amazing, I hope they release it. Lonely Day is pretty sucky though.

You all heard about Daron's solo project, it's on Sputnik news section.

Keiko 01-22-2006 04:49 PM

firstly let me introduce myself :) i am Keiko and i like rock music! (rotfl duh)

anyways on topic, S.O.A.D are a cool band, my fave song has to be B.Y.O.B man such a gd song!! they are even good live! so that makes them an even better band :p

MrJack 01-22-2006 05:21 PM

I must be the only one that thinks STA is better than Tox. It not that one is better, but you simply can't fit 24 songs on one record release.

A_Guy 01-22-2006 06:00 PM

^ I like the self titled better than any of them

Blank 01-22-2006 09:35 PM

B.Y.O.B was suprisingly good for a single.

Meh,it's there choice.Who cares,I bet lost in hollywood will have a cool video.

Lonely day on the other hand...I assume the video will involve makeup and crying :(

Mambuto_O'Mally 01-22-2006 10:37 PM

I hate B.Y.O.B.
The video rips off RATM (with the helmet thing)
The lyrics rip off "War Pigs"
And the chorus is brutal.

That is the only SOAD song I cannot stand at all.

PepsiMetal 01-23-2006 01:07 AM

I wouldn't say lyrics are a rip off of war pigs, they just have similar message behind them. I like the chorus for byob, but there are definetely alot better songs on mezmerize. Most are better actually.

Death Denied 01-23-2006 01:24 AM

I don't think I really have a favorite or least favorite...well, except that Zelda song...it was funny at first...but it's gotten annoying now. Oh, and Roulette too. And just for the record, I really love Steal This Album.

Hi, does any of you know the settings for Darons sound, i have the MetalZone-2??

Spiritofmosa 01-23-2006 08:42 AM

[QUOTE=Adm1R]Hi, does any of you know the settings for Darons sound, i have the MetalZone-2??[/QUOTE]
turn down the high mids to about 10oclock+.. up the high and bass to at least 12oclock . Low mids = bass

thats should be about it

Skit 01-23-2006 09:24 AM

Metalzone :lol:

Blank 01-25-2006 09:52 PM

Just because [i]you[/i] are unable to interpret the song doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything. Check out some fansites.
