Ben Myers is good.

He wrote 'Inside The Muscle Museum', the Muse book :cool:

I may buy that book one day

I just bought it yesterday and Im about halfway though, theres lots of good stuff in there that I never knew before.

(Names of the bands they where in pre-soil etc)

Everyone should check it out :thumb:

[QUOTE=Insipid2000]I think that soad should use more of their death metal screams like they did in S/t.[/QUOTE]

I think Daron should also shut up; his whiney, nasily voice (mainly off hypnotize) annoys the crap out of me (btw Im a big SOAD fan; own all their albums)

[QUOTE=Sad But True]I reccomend the first album to anyone who doesn't have it. I find it much more 'pure', not some watered down crap.

/cant explain[/QUOTE]
Agreed, I love that album, every album succesively seems to get a little worse.

i was going to go to ozzfest just to see SOAD b4 they seperate becuz i havent b4 but the best seats i could find are UU to the left of the theater which are sucky seats and i have to pay $95!!!! its outrageous so i guess im not going to ever see them live..... i dont think im missing out much... am i?

Maybe someone will be nice enough to answer your question if you would take the time to use correct grammer and spelling.

:rolleyes:

Which song by them has a sitar solo...I know there is one but I can't remember the name.

In some songs, They dont need to be taken seriously.

[QUOTE=Frogs]Old School Hollywood is a cool song even if it is cheesy with the robot voice.[/QUOTE]

Actually thats the only song besides question i even like off thier new album.

It was a big letdown for me, Steal this album and toxicity ruled. This..No

I heard System was breaking up. Any truth to this?

No, just hiatus.

[QUOTE=Hevy Tred]Actually thats the only song besides question i even like off thier new album.

They never made a song i didnt like. If there was one song i had to pick tho i'd say it was Old School Hollywood.

(Legend of Zelda as well, but they were probably just messing around)

You going to see them at Ozzfest this year?

:rolleyes:
Legend of Zelda isnt by SOAD!

:angry:

[QUOTE=mutant!]:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
why?

I'm sick and tired of people dissing Daron's singing. From an artistic point of view it fits [I]perfectly[/I] in the band's lyrical context. Let's just say it's bad on purpose. And you can't deny his voice harmonises very well with Serj's.

Search a couple or 20 pages back if you want to read what I have to say about him. (Tip: search the thread for "Blink 182".)

[QUOTE=Crysiss]In some songs, They dont need to be taken seriously.[/QUOTE]

Yeah i know that but his vocals are bad to listen to; regardless of what he's singing

[QUOTE=Skit]:rolleyes:

:angry:[/QUOTE]

Damn beat me to it :p

Meh, I really don't like Daron's vocals.

Serj is just so much cooler in all aspects.

Nah, I like them equally. I love Serj's almost operatic style of singing, and I love Daron's more whiny stuff like the "my c0ck" line.

Anyway, like I said before, whether you like his voice or not, artistically, they couldn't have asked for a better secondary singer.

I posted it in mailing list thread, but here too, anyone want it?

what do you think is the best unreleased/cover system has ever did my fav is the metro

I dig Snowblind. Also, Shame On A Nigga, even though I don't have the song and have only heard it once.

[QUOTE=Clunge]Meh, I really don't like Daron's vocals.

Daron sounds just like most other pop punk singers. Nothing unique about him. Serj on the other hand is quite unique, and has a pretty cool growl that he uses sometimes.

But yea, their vocals aren't even comparable. Soad without Serj would suck.

Im pretty sure that growl is Daron; Serj's growl is more akin to yelling rather than any singing technique/style

WTH are you on about?

Anyway, no, Serj does the growling. And the yelling. And the singing. Daron does the screaming and the whining.

[QUOTE=msufan23]what do you think is the best unreleased/cover system has ever did my fav is the metro[/QUOTE]
I agree...it's my favorite song to jam on my guitar with.

[QUOTE=mutant!]I dig Snowblind. Also, Shame On A Nigga, even though I don't have the song and have only heard it once.[/QUOTE]

ya but snowblind is a black sabbath song so its just a cover but it is a good song

I like the metro...its just a really cool song. Going back to the lyrical thing, darons voice sucks. He sounds like he has a pole shoved up his behind. Serj's voice rocks though, goes with there style of music.

[QUOTE=mutant!]CHRIST WHEN WILL PEOPLE STOP GOING ON ABOUT DARON think of it from an artistic point of view. Music is an art, amirite? OK. Thus each song is an artwork. Now look at System's typical lyrical material. For one, they're often [I]immensely[/I] sarcastic in bringing their points across. Also, they loooove poking fun at pop culture. Pop-punk bands such as Blink-182 sadly form(ed) a part of pop culture. Thus this kind of music (pop-punk) becomes a metaphor for pop culture. From an artistic point of view, what's a good way to sarcastically poke fun at a music genre?

Imitate it.

Listen to Lonely Day's lyrics. It's a beautiful example of how Daron is (remember this is all IMHO) jabbing a stick at "dark" pop-punk bands like Good Charlotte. It would sound [I]so[/I] **** if Serj tried to sing that. In fact, it'd sound like he's being serious. However, Daron's decidedly teenage voice makes it funny. From an artistic point of view, excellent sarcastic irony and use of timbres.[/QUOTE]
Nuff said.

^ Truth.

[QUOTE=mutant!]WTH are you on about?

Anyway, no, Serj does the growling. And the yelling. And the singing. Daron does the screaming and the whining.[/QUOTE]

Nope, it's Daron who does the growl. Saw a live video when they were playing "Atwa" once. The growler was Daron.

Yes, LIVE being the key word.

Daron adds in growls etc live but on the albums its almost always Serj

No it's Daron

aka start of prison song aka start of cigaro aka the chorus of atwa.

Do you wish me to continue?

I've tried fighting this fight. I've never won.

I think Cigaro is all Serj, Though it could be Daron at first then Serj backs up with a higher scream at 12 seconds


The start of Prison Song is so obviously Serj, You can hear that its Serjs voice, Also Daron cant growl that low.
However, Daron growls on the "Research on sucessful drug..." part, He also does the "For you and me" and other parts but that is clearly Daron anyway..


Likewise, The chorus of ATWA is so obviously Daron.
Its clearly his voice.



I cant believe you people cant tell the difference between there voices...
