@@sofakingonmynuts1438 always a meaningful message, always unique mixes of different sounds and genres, and THAT voice... brilliant

Absolutely

Agree 110%

She Wants Revenge

Not only that but it's IMO their best album. For me 'SOAD' followed by 'Steal This Album'. The rest are whatever, I like them but the two I listed are head and shoulders above. I will say though 'Deer Dance' is one of my favorites from them.

Same. This and chop suey are my top from them

I totally agree! I LOVE ALL SOADs albums and songs but Damn, this one ALWAYS gets me pumped, psyched or sad depending how I feel at the time ... Very FEW bands/artists can evoke such feelings. 🔥🖤🖤🖤🔥

I think their best song is either Sugar or BYOB

It is man, no freaking doubt!

"Words Are Spells" Let's examine the word "words"... rearrange the letters to make "sword"... Words can cut like a sword... Not physically, but mentally/ spiritually... Using words in a certain sequence can be phenomenal, given the structure is perfect, and the timing of mood with whom you're conversing with... I. E. Ever been with a new date, and you were both conversing, and things "clicked" between you both? ...Words........... One of the most dangerous tools known to man... I. E. School shootings from bullying...

@@MathieusTheWalkingWitness very well said. I think most people who study the occult/wiccans know that words can cast spells as well. They are powerful. As well as your thoughts and beliefs about yourself. Personally, through meditating and grounding I think it's important to observe and let go of the negativity thoughts and energy and transform them. Very well said about swords reference

His voice is fantastic!!!

His range is ridiculous also and your exactly correct I feel the same about his voice it's something about it that captures you

Exactly! Sounds like an arabian/indian monk praying in the temple with the angst

I suggest keeping as you are, but introduce some Puscifer too.

I was born 2008 lol

Can you tell me if this song has a meaning? I've read the lyrics so many times and can't decipher it.

​@@Mosesthewhiteboy It's about remote viewing (big brother very basically), via the "v chip". It's why the song is called "spiders" cause the cursed device "looks" like one.

Hell yeah, i was fortunate to grow up with metal parents lol lots of soad korn and slipknot for me as a child, may sound weird at first but i think it primed me for creating an abstract thought process later in life

my deceased father is a classic and slow rock fan, so i grew up listening to guns n roses, eagles, led zeppelin etc. as i grew up i explored different kind of musics. now system of a down is my favorite band.

@@jeromecaldwell7152 >lots of slipknot and korn Isnt that abuse?

serj's voice did got old tho... he sounds no way near like this nowadays... a shame

​@@andralfooVoices do age yes, but this is actually not the case with why Serj sounds different, some people have the same voice after years and although Serj's talking voice did change a little, his Singing should be the same as he has his moments where he sounds like nothing ever happened. Here an example kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rraHac2VsK60f6s.html for 20 seconds straight he just sounds amazing. The reason he sounds different today are that he doesn't really feel it as much as back in the day where he was all into it, and most importantly his Normal Singing, he does a thing I don't know if its a technique but lets just call it technique it's called Nasal Singing. It is a big help for singing and for reaching high notes but it sounds horrible. Vocal teachers teach you how to get out of the nasal singing and teach how to reach the notes without relying on that technique. So all this leads up to Serj needing to get some Vocal training. But as I said I don't think he is into it as much as he was, so he doesn't really care :/ his new singing style fits for the last 2 albums of SOAD and especially works for his solo career, but for actual singing and everything else its very very bad. Even with nasal singing I hear him sounding pitchy a lot so that's another evidence for him needing to get some Vocal lessons.

I dont know if it's just me, but SOAD gives me this rasta preachy vibe mixed with heavy metal. It's a very unique genre. But nevertheless extremely addicting. Theres so many interesting nuances in their records, such a constant repeating of phrases, yelling phrases for emphasis, the switch from low to high tempo very rapidly, it may sound dumb but alot of these things are unique to soad and not really replicated

Rammstein

Maximume the hormone sounds a bit similar

The king for a day album by faith no more is pretty similar to the self titles album tho

More so metal band the only thing there really know for out side of the metal community is chop survey or (i think that's the only song before I was a metal fan)

Cancerous KZfaq without the music video, it’s still pretty eerie. It is one of the view pieces that gives me chills, and the solo tops it all off. It’s an amazing song, and will forever more be a classic SOAD song.

I agree. I recently discovered this one, and I'm addicted but can't listen more than 3 times in a row before my mood goes dark.

Cancerous dude i found this scary before i even watched the video

Well Serjs favourite films genre is horrors so nothing unusual

Edgy

I switched from rap to Linkin Park, i was also around your age around the same time, but then soad queen ozzy ... Etc and list grew

@@Ammar777s Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, that one with the "you and me baby ain't nothing but mammals". All that good stuff :)

@@Warblaster Oh yeah limp bizkit was one of the first too for me, not gonna lie, sometimes I still listen to "Break Stuff"

sometimes i wonder if i'm just being nostalgic or if media nowadays is just soulless commercial shite, i think the latter.

@@MUFCZONE there was a southpark episode when Stan turns 11 and everything he plays, listens to, watches is literally spraying shit in his face and I cant think of a more true statement about the modern media shoveled into our feed troughs like the cattle we are

I agree, everything is just simplistic and boring now, no creativity whatsoever. It's all about technology and a self centered mindset now, fucking bullshit

It is not the audience, it's the era.

I think Trent Reznor had a lot to do with that impression. Some crazy videos came out of that man's brain, for sure. Also, the horror movie industry in 2022 sucks. You don't see the likes of Event Horizon or 1408 or Hellraiser in 2022.

The denver live version is my favorite version of this song,his voice in this part is almost possessed

thats good, but man have you heard any other singers, MJK does a 25 second scream with more intensity in The Grudge, and yes he does it LIve, I've seen him do it twice on the Lateralus tour. No taking anything away, but Maynard has wayyyy more power and higher range. I highly suggest checking out the end of The Grudge by Tool, and his many screams of legend. Maynard's screams are legendary.

Insane didn’t even need to skip to that to know what part you are speaking about

@@ricardomartinezxx try listen linkin park given up

It's mostly "comical" Until You Understand The Meaning

I totally agree

@@paulsegers1880 what is the meaning of the song btw? I've been listening to this song since I found soad but never understood ut

You could've very well actually written something

Same.

Buenas canciones

+Love Metal yeah but they dont expand upon the generic metal sound, and dont bring the political meaningful lyrics like soad

+The King Flobots is like them. Just not as rock...ish. More rap like.

+McScizz Well that's not totally true. Avenged Sevenfold has done many many songs which are not "generic" metal. If you think they have a generic sound, listen to A Little Piece of Heaven, Save Me, Dear God, Unbound, Lost, Sidewinder, etc. Slipknot has done some interesting tracks like Iowa, (515), Vermillion Pt.2, etc. I can't really speak for Disturbed since I don't listen to them. And I don't consider BB to be metal, even tho I love their stuff. And all those bands have meaningfull lyrics, even tho they aren't political

+Diego Baldree Flobots being compared to SOAD...haha

"Hey check this album out, it's crazy man..." DUN

Deftones!!! But yeah Soad and Rage still top of my list since 90s

The funny thing is, that this song is the only one to actually give me chills. I never believed that getting chills because of music was true, even though I had heard it from friends, until this song.

Adei I

most unique Armenian metal band.

oohdonna Rediscovering a lot of bands I took for granted in a downward spiral. Soad is not for the masses. That’s why music was beautiful at this time, it seemed artistically driven.

It's realy the highlight of the track, but in the video I think it's a mistake that the singer makes this "psycho face" and it's not the highly emotional moment I picture in my head. It takes me out of the mood. The aesthetic of the clip is beautiful tho. Amazing song, I cant' believe I've heard System for over 10 years and I didn't check this track before. Hidden gem.

Mesmerized Andrés hypnotized

@@irtap404 I didn't see it as a psycho face at all, that disturbing expression still strikes me as a highly emotional moment and those eyes of his aren't crazy but bottomless

Yes, everyone interprets things differently. Sometimes, though, some people tap in to a vibe...an emotional truth. Songs speak to us through more than their lyrics. Hell, I'd argue that while lyrics are vital, they are really just the adjectives that describe the emotion of the song itself. That "BEFOOOORE!" IS that same rage you couldn't express. Serj has surely been there.

I searched that painting up, and now I can't sleep... Wtf

Amen bro preach!

I agree with your comment, that both Tool and SOAD are unreal. They are a level that other bands can't reach. I wouldn't go as far as to say SOAD is better then TOOL. Maynard is an excellent vocalist and the band work well together. Their Drummer Danny is one of the best drummers ever, in my opinion. They produce a roller coaster of emotions in their songs. SOAD are fucking unreal. They also like TOOL produce mind blowing sounds and lyrics. I really couldn't say either of these bands are better, they both just fucking rule.

Both amazing bands. How awesome would a tour with the two of them be?

Tool and SOAD are like 2 sides of the same coin. SOAD is all about quick hyperactive songs, while Tool has long, slow burning songs.

they had a song with Wu Tang Clan lol so i'd suppose
