Re: system of a down

Found them out back in 2000 or 2001 while listening to the radio on my way to work. The song was "Sugar". Been listening to them ever since then.

Re: system of a down

they're really good. i have 15 songs on my i-pod. my favorite is Deer Dance.

You might also try the band "Bullet For my Valentine" or "Coheed and Cambria" or "The Fall of Troy"

The Fall of Troy is meaaaaaaan.

I've got every SOAD album, but yeah...I dunno about letting Daron sing. His voice doesn't annoy me, but "Loneliest Day' was probably their weakest single ever.

Sugar is a timeless song

Re: system of a down

SOAD sucks now. Daron changed his pickups, they aren't nearly as heavy as they used to be. Daron can't sing for shit. The lead singer, can't think of his name right now, has a very very wide range...kinda cool, but can be annoying at times. I would much rather listen to Avenged Sevenfold, Sevendust or Disturbed. Way more talent in those 3 bands IMO. I never understood Darons guitar style. Its kinda like he is trying to re-invent the guitar. Well, IMO...some people have done it succesfully....but shit.

Next thing you know, SOAD will come out with a "Best Of" album and they will be screwed.

Re: system of a down

^you say there is more talent in the other three bands than SOAD, yet i wouldn't be surprised if i hear someone else say the exact opposite. Its hard to judge talent. you have to appreciate each band's style of music, and the 3 bands you listed are no where near the style of music System plays. Listen, they've got a large following for a reason, nobody likes bands that suck.
I do agree that Daron isn't exactly pleasing to the ears, and that Serj (the lead) can rock the mic much better, but the band has changed whether u like it or not for whatever their purpose or direction. think back to old 311, like the song "Hive", and look at what they play now, "Amber"... worlds apart, same band. Look at Tool; songs like "Hush" which resembled RAtM, and now songs like "Jambi" which are all their own. If a band changes, and you lose interest, it doesn't mean "they suck"... they've simply changed.
btw, yes i'm afraid of a Best Of album, as well. hopefully, no time soon, as Serj is still very active in political and social reform, and is bound to make another contraversial album like Toxicity.

Re: system of a down

Re: system of a down

Toxicity and their Self-Titled album are my favorite. From Toxicity, i'd say Prison Song, Toxicity, and Aerials are my favorite.Have fun headbanging
