did u jsut type in system of a down? or what? i need to hear that, sabbath rock!!

Rattlehead 03-27-2006 11:13 AM

they sure do.

someone on this thread a while ago suggested Marmalade as a good SOAD song that isn't on any particular album. i put "artist: system of a down, title: marmalade" and it came up with a load of other songs that are albumless. and snowblind.

!MuDvAyNiAn! 03-27-2006 12:28 PM

just done it and heard it, amazing!:)

Rattlehead 03-27-2006 02:11 PM

[QUOTE=enter natman]dont call people noobs please, allthough you made a good point, their lack of posts in no way relates to their mental capacity, so don't insult it. :thumb:[/QUOTE]
I was calling him a noob on the basis of his post. I didn't even look at his post count before you mentioned it now. He's a noob at life.
[QUOTE=enter natman]has anyone heard their extra songs? like Defied you, Marijuana In Your Brain(spinny sh*t), Marmalade, Starlit Eyes, Storage and Temper? they own.[/QUOTE]
I have (or rather, had) a **lot** of SOAD B-sides. Temper kicks AASHCSSCHHH; so does Marmalade and Storage. There's others too, I can't remember. You realise however that a lot of their B-sides were later renamed and released on STA?

dont compare it to the original; i heard it and thought it must have been a soad song called snowblind. its totally different, except for the chords. i ca respect it for more than a cover, ita so different.

Lord Sabbath 03-28-2006 02:47 PM

i gotta hear that. SOAD rock. \m/

!MuDvAyNiAn! 03-29-2006 09:59 AM

I dunno about "shame" not to keen on it tbh. Tentative from mezmerize is an amzing song! I can't stop listenin 2 it

Rattlehead 03-29-2006 11:15 AM

tbh?
and i didnt know tentative was on mezmerize..? well, its not on mine.

!MuDvAyNiAn! 03-29-2006 12:15 PM

i meant hypnotize lol. to be honest..:)

purgatory 03-29-2006 12:19 PM

I still have yet to buy this album. Any good?

Rattlehead 03-29-2006 12:25 PM

i love it. its got a couple of soft songs, but the others are great. i really enjoy Lonely Day, that's a soft one. but if you dont like daron's voice you wont like some songs, like Stealing Society.

[QUOTE=!MuDvAyNiAn!]i meant hypnotize lol. to be honest..:)[/QUOTE]
cooll cheers.

!MuDvAyNiAn! 03-29-2006 12:32 PM

its a decent album, not as good as toxicity, soad etc, but still pretty good. tentative might be my fav soad song at the moment

Rattlehead 03-29-2006 03:49 PM

there hasn't been much publicity with Hypnotize... not like with mezmerize.

!MuDvAyNiAn! 03-29-2006 03:59 PM

yea true. IMO i think mezmerize was the better out of the 2, i dont really listen to hypnotize much

Mambuto_O'Mally 03-29-2006 06:11 PM

Honestly, Mezmerize is sh[FONT="Arial"]i[/FONT]t compared to Hypnotize. They both aren't the best, Hypnotize just sucked less. I think they should have just released one CD. It would have definately kicked as[FONT="Arial"]s[/FONT].

EDIT - You can't say [FONT="Arial"]a[/FONT]ss? what the he[FONT="Arial"]l[/FONT]l

mudvayne420 03-29-2006 08:02 PM

I think Mez/Hyp. was their best, but i don't like the reminesce of soldier side intro in the end of lonely day that they could've done without.

Rattlehead 03-30-2006 04:57 AM

i think they are equally good albums, but in the same way they are both equally lacking in Serj's vocals.

I'm Charming 03-30-2006 05:08 AM

Both albums were terrible.

SOAD as I've said many times is rather talentless.

The only song I've ever liked was "Question!", that was a good song.

These days it's not about talent. Although most musicians prefer talent... anybody else just goes with what appeals to them. Which is I guess how it should be. I like SOAD, but I like all that style of music so yeah...

The current mainstream music is proof that you don't need much talent to be successful.


And Question! is a good song init?

!MuDvAyNiAn! 03-30-2006 10:01 AM

question! is an amazing song. probably because its serj singing in that one :p :rolleyes:

Rattlehead 03-30-2006 11:30 AM

[QUOTE=I'm Charming]SOAD as I've said many times is rather talentless.[/QUOTE]
In your opinion. and as for that, i don't know what the hell influenced it. Serj has unique vocal skills, the drumming certainly is not "talentless", and they guitar/bass owns. some of their riffs are incredible. [IMO] to say SOAD are talentless is mad, for me. especially when you have people like Prodigy making even more money from pressing a few buttons.

Lol, i like soad, but prodigy is not "just to press some buttons" so be quite.

Rattlehead 03-30-2006 02:41 PM

im not into techno, but i am fairly educated in it. i know that Prodigy is full of extremely uncomplicated beats. so be *[I]quiet[/I]

John's facial expressions are famous for being constantly foreboding and angry-looking, which together with his usual smart dress sense, make him look like a Russian Mafia member. Lead singer Serj Tankian was quoted in Kerrang magazine as always trying to make John crack a smile on stage, to which John replied that he had to make an extreme effort to keep a straight face and not get put off beat, which is sometimes not believed due to the fact that John is very rhythmically sound when it comes to his drum beats.

One night, when John was five years old, he woke up in the middle of the night and went to his parent's room out of fright. His parents allowed him to sleep in their bed, and soon after a bullet came through the window of John's room and hit his bed, where he would have been sleeping.


Found these on wikipedia!
