System of a Down - GoFuckYourself.com

POed-poster · 08-16-2005, 12:15 AM

I use to hate really fast metal bands, mainly because, IMHO, it is really hard to write melodic stuff when you are playing at that speed. But I have to say that I LOVE System of a Down. I never though it would be possible for a band to have a mix of modern heavy metal and classical music and make it work (e.g., as in the song 'question'). This band makes it work. I love the way the vocalist sings scales over the muted guitar riffs. He sounds like he has had some training in opera. Sabbath did a nice mix of heavy rock mix with a classical element in the Dio years (Heaven and Hell).

NaughtyRob · 08-16-2005, 12:19 AM

The new CD is fucking amazing.

SomeCreep · 08-16-2005, 12:20 AM

They're cool. Very mainstream now though. All the kiddies love them.

jonesy · 08-16-2005, 12:51 AM

being armenian is what really influences his singing style and musically.

when i first saw them in los angeles before ther were signed, i thought theyre going to be a big band or never have a chance because they were different.

im glad thay made it and im also glad i had the chance to open for them back in those days. i can never say enough good shit about them because they help other bands they like.

Who is the guy who does those wicked screams? He's not the lead singer. Very cool though. Sounds like a demon.

Daron Malakian? Yep, hes a guitarist. He didnt sing that much in previous albums, but in Mezmerize you hear just as much of his vocals as Serge's. Finally, "Lost In Hollywood" is the whole his song.

system of a down kicks ass

Scott McD · 09-15-2005, 02:48 AM

I usually listen to dance music only, but my friend loves SOAD, and got me listening to some of their stuff.

Last week i bought the Mezmerize album...

reed_4 · 09-15-2005, 04:08 AM

that band really is awesome performers.

Lee · 09-15-2005, 04:50 AM

Serge does have an amazing range.

Little King · 09-15-2005, 04:57 AM

I'm listening to viloent pornography right now and I love it. They do some excellent riffs and sweet harmonies (as well as just rocking out like crazy!!!!)

09-15-2005, 05:02 AM

They've always been a favorite band of mine. I'd love to have the chance to meet them one day.

tranza · 09-15-2005, 08:00 AM

Dollarmansteve · 09-15-2005, 08:06 AM

In violent pornography they blatantly bust out a polka... who does that!?!?!

Rinaldo · 09-15-2005, 08:06 AM

I lov ethem

J-$ · 09-15-2005, 09:38 AM

i can understand why yall like em
however and i know this is just an "opinion" but me and true music fans seem to share this opinion. their new cd has lost the whole fuckin flava, the essence they used to have. i can also guarantee that this right now is their PEAK and its the beginning of the end for them.now it can take 2-3 more albums = a lot of money for them but im just speaking from the heart. mark my words down

ShaneRyale · 09-15-2005, 10:04 AM

I just saw them in concert a couple of weeks ago. They put on a good show!

Lace · 09-15-2005, 10:07 AM
