[pie.]

does anyone here like system of a down?
ive lately been listening to a lot of toxicity and steal this album i reckon they're awesome.


btw, soz bout my previous thread-i was just pissed.


CHOP SUEY!

[Dexterina]

SOAD are my second favourite band ever, and they'd have to be pretty damn good to be right after the Offspring.. soad are so good, their self titled album is fking awesome too, listen to it some time. DO IT!

Cant wait till next years Adelaide Big Day Out.. soad, here I come!

[Subsidal]

They aren't bad. I like their Needles or Psycho *giggles*

[Chris]

great discussion you've got started there.

[Nina]

one of my favorite bands.

[Danielle]

I'm getting to like them more and more, I didn't like them much before.

[Shorty]

System of a Down Rock!!! Chop Suey! has gotta be one of the best songs...ever!

[slayer/metallicafan661]

s.o.a.d is ok but there is metallica and slayer

[samr]

s.o.a.d is ok but there is metallica and slayer


and all those other heavy metal bands, right?

hahaha

[lousyskater]

they're overrated and they suck.

[Jojan]

They suck.

[greencows12]

system of a down is obviously a talented band. Them and the offspring shouldn't be played on the radio with those crappy bands. They're too good to be on the radio. So is anti- flag.

[The Cheshire Cat]

I used to like System. I've gotten kind of bored with them lately, although I do like some of their more melodic songs.

[GBH2]

they're overrated and they suck.

i agree that they're overrated, but i still like them

They are cool, i still like the s/t the most though!!

[Inimini]

I really like them.

[offspring4ever]

Wow, :eek: you're me! SOAD are great...

There are two bands in this world!
Maybe three(Nirvana)

[offspring4ever]

They suck.

No, they don't.

By the way, they have a new one called "Cigaro". The album called "hypnotize" will be out in March.

[ReDeAdOf89]

SOAD is a great band, with songs like Chop Suey and Psycho its easy to see why.

You took the words right out of my mind greencows12, so I had to think of something new

[HMSPresident]

When Toxicity (the album, not the single) came out, I really got into them. I bought their self-titled album too, and like that even more! I got kinda bored of them after a whlie tho, and "Steal this album" didn't really help.

Still, I watched them at Reading Festival the year before last, and it was a great show. And I was extremely pissed off that I hadn't watched them on the smaller stage a few years before...

'steal this album' isn't exactly an album. It's more like a collection of their older songs.

[Gabriel]

I hate them... theyr songs are same comercial as pretty fly, just bit harder

[BuddyHolly]

their liveshows suck!

[Subsidal]

Hm.. I don't care how they are live. Their music is quite alright, but nothing special

[offspring4ever]

their liveshows suck!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

[Rain Girl]

I like them... I'm not the biggest fan in the world, but I like them.

[BuddyHolly]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

okay, maybe their liveshow doesn't suck, but they play/sing pretty bad live

[offspring4ever]

I have a video of their show in Netherlands and it kicks ass. Don't know if you've seen it, since you're from Netherlands.

[BuddyHolly]

i've seen video's from Lowlands (2001?) and Pinkpop (2003?)

[offspring4ever]

lowlands.....

[BuddyHolly]

those were a tiny little bit okay, but the pinkpop performance just sucked ass

[HMSPresident]

'steal this album' isn't exactly an album. It's more like a collection of their older songs.

Yeah, I knew that. That's one of the reasons that it isn't as good, it doesn't "hang" together properly. And I just don't think any of the songs are as good as their later (released earlier) stuff.

[Trip Boy]

Cigaro is nuts! But great.

[offy]

Psycho! Groupie! Cokane! Crazy!

I love this band, they're damn cool! And I'm one of those guys who think that Steal This Album is their best one, though the others rock, too.

Can't wait for mesmorize and hypnotize!

[Aimeht]

They're great. I got all their albums (3, haha).

[ReDeAdOf89]

Psycho! Groupie! Cokane! Crazy!

I totally agree!

[offspring4ever]

man, stop it or you'll drive me crazy. I can't wait anymore...'Hypnotize' is coming out in March, who can wait another month?
My favourite one is Suite Pee.

[Pinocchio]

the band is good, but I can`t stand the singer`s voice... it`s terrible,it sucks, it`s like some fucking bleating of a lamb... I like nearly all kinds of hard music, but I`d rather listen to nothing at all than system of a down..
In the end of the day it`s just a matter of taste.

[Izie]

i've seen video's from Lowlands (2001?) and Pinkpop (2003?)
(jesus)
hahahaha, live videos don't tell you anything about how a band sounds in a real concert. Pinkpop's recording are always shit, lowlands wasn't any better until 2003. If you want good live soad videos, download the Big Day Out videos from 2002. Although that doesn't tell you anything how soad sounds for real, it does give you great live videos ; ).

Anyway, System Of A Down are w00t and great.

[Striker]

This is the 'Cigaro' for original psycho. Enjoy...

My cock is much bigger than yours,

[intothevalleyofdeath]

[original_psycho]

Umm... Yeah... Umm... Yeah...

[Offspring_01]

I think SOAD is a great band. My favorite songs by them are Spiders, aerials, toxicity, and chop suey.

[blackstargirl]

have you guys heard the new single..."cigarro"?

[rogerio]

I like too. Steal this album is great! :)

[Striker]

well, the lyrics of 'cigaro' shocked me a little bit, but I like it. Waiting for the album...

[OffspringRrlz]

System of a down rocks..!

[sk8ter-hater]

Shimmy....


And you can't forget, pull that tapeworm outta your ass, hey

Prison song.

[Striker]

My cock is much bigger than yours... My favourite...

[Strider]

THEY'RE TRYING TO BUILD A PRISON!

[sk8ter-hater]

My cock is much bigger than yours... My favourite...
Yeah, a cock at peace.

http://members.aol.com/ramo41886/byobradio.zip

[Offspringforever]

i love SOAD, Toxity is great

[Come out and smash'em up!]

my secon favourite band, war? and prison songs are the best

[Jesus]

AT LAST!..

http://members.aol.com/ramo41886/byobradio.zip


Mtv has a better quality version online http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/system_of_a_down/artist.jhtml

The album is going to be amazing again, just like their previous 3 and basically all the b-sides they did. I wonder how much airplay that first single is gonna get ...

[D!stortion]

great band, im listening to forest right now, then up comes toxicity, then good ol chop suei, but then it moves on to lost prophets "we are godzilla-you are japan"

[jrk247]

I think Chop Suey Is one of their best songs.

[Striker]

Indeed....

[nameless]

i like them! will be seeing them soon as well!

[Commiekaze]

SOAD are awesome, specially Shimmy and Legend of Zelda

[Jesus]

SOAD are awesome, specially Shimmy and Legend of Zelda

Legend of zelda is not by them. It's a hoax.

[sk8ter-hater]

Chop Suey is overrated, I prefer Forest or ATWA.

[Striker]

Legend of zelda is not by them. It's a hoax.
Don't know what hoax is, but I know that this song is from an old computer game... And I've got a live video of it. It's funny....

[PilZ-E]

SOAD are awesome, specially Shimmy and Legend of Zelda


Legend of Zelda is actually a song by a band called Rabbit Joint

[Obie2trice]

Have you heard their new single BYOB? It`s a cool song

[Jimbob2005]

i only like aerials
otherwise i cant stand their shouting

[Striker]

I downloaded "holy mountain" from soadonefnet.com and it became my favourite.

[nameless]

i saw them at the astoria tonight! they were amazing! definately worth checking out even if your not a fan!

[iflogmymolly]

They aren't bad. I like their Needles or Psycho *giggles*

Those are good songs. I also like Aerials. (I think I spelled that right :confused: )

[Hux]

So I downloaded Deer Dance, and goddamn that is a fucking awesome song, best I've heard so far by them (I know like 50 or so of their songs).

[alistair13]

yeah deer dance is awesome. my favorite song by SoaD is probably forest.

[el_monkey]

One of the very few mainstream bands out right now that are actually talented, artistic, and overall great.

What...the...fuck!?

Fucking hell youtube has a lot of shit shit. Why are people so sad, crazy, drunk, loserish...

[Never Gonna Find Me]

I love Forest by System Of A Down. I'm just obsessed with Toxicity as an album. :D

[Hux]

How awesome is Roulette, definately one of their best.

[Hux]

Forest is pretty fucking damn good. Another favourite, will this list of mine go on :p.

[Kaz The Random]

Revenga always gets stuck in my head! They have so many addictive songs.

[SuperKnux]

What are your guys favorite System songs?

Mine has to be, "Soldier Side". That song is just amazing and powerful.

"Soldier Side" is followed by "Streamline" which had been my favorite for the longest time before "Mezmerize/Hypnotize" was released.

[Unnatural Disaster]

I love Cigaro: http://www.savefile.com/projects.php?pid=185949

[JohnnyNemesis]

I love the band. Lately "Revenga" has been tops for me. Very underrated, very good song.

"This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song" is also really underrated.

Overrated? "B.Y.O.B" and all of Toxicity.


Overall, "Soil" and "Know" might be my favorites, and have been since 1999. Oh, and Hypnotize > Mezmerize, Steal This Album > Toxicity.

Just some random thoughts :)

[Drummerguy123]

I dunno.... I think I liked Mezmerize more than Hypnotize, even though Hypnotize was a better album. Wow. That makes no sense whatsoever.

[JohnnyNemesis]

That makes perfect sense. It's possible to acknowledge that one is better even if you enjoy listening to another album more. Kinda like recognizing how amazing classical music is and still not giving fuck about it.

[Drummerguy123]

Okay, good. I knew I wasn't crazy!

[bd007h]

How awesome is Roulette, definately one of their best.

I love that song, one of my favorites by them. I have all of their albums, plus 2 songs that are from the japan release or something of the S/T album

[Hux]

I have all their songs (at least from their albums) but still haven't got around to listening to them all :p.

At the moment my favourites are:

Aerials
Boom!
Chop Suey!
Deer Dance
Forest
Fuck The System
Radio/Video
Roulette
Toxicity

[Never Gonna Find Me]

I love all their stuff, but at the moment I'm addicted to the whole album of Toxicity. Especially Forest.

[The meaning of life]

I just aggred with you all the time!

[coke_a_holic]

TMOL, I thought your sig was a reference to one of the greatest books of all time. You make my penis soft.

[Mentally_Challenged]

I only got into SoaD about... urhh... probably about 8 months ago. But I love them ^_^ Favourite songs at the moment areeeeeeeeeeeeeee:

A.D.D
Spiders
Old School Hollywood
Mr Jack
Ego Brain
Sugar
Question

I've listened to She's Like Heroin a lot lately too, but i'm not sure if that's for the humour element or whether I just generally like the song. eh =/ CD wise, i've got Mesmerize, Hypnotize, and Steal This Album!, but I wanna get Toxicity. >_< Pssh. However, I do adore the 3 I already have, so I ain't complaining.

[PilZ-E]

Get Self-Titled by far the best in my opinion.

Favorite songs:
War?
Soil
Suite-pea(sp?)
Know
Snowblind(cover but still amazing)

There are a lot more that I can't think of right now.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Get Self-Titled by far the best in my opinion.

AGREED!!!

Snowblind(cover but still amazing)

Replace "amazing" with "UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLY GOOD", and I agree.

[Thomas]

Man, I need to start listening to S/T some more. I'm only familiar with about 3 of the songs on there. =P

[The meaning of life]

Man, I need to start listening to S/T some more. I'm only familiar with about 3 of the songs on there. =P

Probably sugar?

[That_Guy91]

Probably sugar?
I'm gonna guess Sugar, Spiders, and War?.

[II NOODLES II]

SOAD are a good band. I might be wrong but i aint too keen on their Hypnotize album. Their old stuff is better i think. Has anyone seen them live? I have and they were great.

[guitarboy]

my favroite SOAD album is toxicity and least favroite is steal this album i just felt like they lost alot of their energy except for "innervision" and "boom!" also i don't really like byob that one part where daron screams blast off its party time just killed that song i everything else if good but that one part ruined the whole song also the best song on hypnotize is vacinity of obcinity

Please learn how to type clearly so that everyone can read your posts.

[PilZ-E]

Am I the only one that thinks Daron needs to shut the fuck up and let Serj do his job.

[Lithuanian Offspring]

I agree. That guy's voice is annoying.

[II NOODLES II]

Yeah I think Serj is a better singer.

[noz3001]

they're overrated and they suck.

OMFG i was just reading through the forum and i found this.. :eek: :mad: !!!!!

OMFG OMFG Soad are by far the best band EVER! So go die :mad:

[no_way]

You'll find this ridiculous, but the reason why i cannot stand system of a down is because of the curly guy's voice. I CAN'T STAND IT. whenever i see them, I have got to change the channel. No other choice.
