My personal opinion is that this isn't absurd at all. The original song has exactly the perfect type of vocal to fit with SOAD's style. Regardless, it's epic af.
This is a very bold claim. My mom grew up in Miami when the B-52s were just becoming a popular band, she absolutely loves them and instilled the love of their music into my siblings and myself. It's always good to hear that some people have great taste in music, happy holidays.
If somebody showed me this without me knowing the source and told me it was some unreleased SOAD cover song, I would 100% believe it. Your Serj impression is so fucking spot on.
I knew what this would sound like when I clicked on it and you somehow made it sound even more like SOAD than even SOAD can. You're a menace to society and I'm calling the cops.
Never heard Rock Lobster but this just genuinely sounds like something SOAD would write! Also played and sing so well if someone randomly played this to me I'd honestly have believed this was SOAD! This is unbelievably good!!
My exact thoughts. I've never heard rock lobster either but this was just Serj with dark eye shadow coming close to the camera with his distinct facial expressions 😂
What the fuck, I came in here expecting a silly parody and this was genuinely great. You nailed the sound of my favorite band, all the way down to the freakin’ Serj and Daron harmonizing.
SOAD is my most favorite band ever. You fucking turn their music into something more amazing than I would think possible. We want an entire album. Fuckingamazing!!! FUCKING AMAZING!
I actually like a lot the song Rock Lobster and now that you made this version, I can't believe that you made it sound so much better. You never disappoint me, this is too damn cool, bro. Greetings from Mexico
System of the down was my first band to fall in love with as a youth. When I read somebody was trying to recreate their sound, I thought it couldn't be done, but holy s***, Thank you for making me fall back in love with why I love system of a down. It's been years since I've listened to them and you're spot on recreation of a "cover" floored me and has me wanting more!
You are underrated my dude. Thats no bueno. Your vocals are spot fucking on as the duo. Really impressive to listen to what goofy shit you filter through their sound.
What we've learned through the last couple years of fanship, nothing you do is cursed 😂😭 you are a once in a generation musician that just picks up whatever he can and makes magic with it.
Nailed it…so good! Vocals are spot on. Would you please describe your vocal chain starting w you mic all the way through the plugins? Thanks and keep ‘em coming! How about if Primus made Summer of ‘69!
Your recommendation gave me an idea. Disturbed does “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)”. In the style of “Remember” chorus: Eeeeeeeeeeverythinnnnng I do, I do it for you, do it for you.
omg, the chorus! You are the one who has the best sense of getting the song catchy of the "If X wrote Y"-channels. Almost getting better/more skillful for each video!
SOAD would be proud of you ♥ Serj would tip his hat to you Sir. I subscribed after finding this, Thank you Facebook for bringing this to me man. ROCK LOBSTER!!!!! ❤🔥🤟
The fact that you're doing all this from your barracks room is seriously impressive, brother. If you're not already, look into music production and put that GI bill to use! You've got serious talent for getting into the head space of the artist and pumping these out. You've found your calling.
This goes hard asf, what an incredible talent you have. Your ability to identify and mimick the unique sound fingerprint of an artist and the apply it to a completely random song blows me away. My wife doesn't even listen to metal and she agrees this is hard asf. I hope you have as much fun creating these songs as I do listening to them. What a talent and a treat to behold. Keep shining man
You’re the most talented person I’ve seen in my life !!!! To play the instruments, and to sing in different tones and as different singers , to video recording ur videos, your the sht bro!! Mad props!!!
This genuinely sounds like how it would sound if they did an official cover of this song, the guitar and vocal harmonies are amazing, you seriously fucking nailed it!!!
I would pay good money to watch SOAD cover this song live with you making a guest appearance on stage performing with them. This is one of those songs where the cover beccomes better than the original. lol
That’s cool that it’s your favorite but dude all I’m gonna say is if he doesn’t respond to you or make a vid about it later than you should prob forget about that idea
@@ChubsterFX bruh he would make it sound so good tho I’m not wasting this opportunity all I have to do is just keep asking till he sees it I won’t stop till he sees it
skiddidilly-bop that was brill dude! i wonder how many ppl are fans of BOTH the b52s AND SOAD who can truly appreciate this masterpiece!? ty for the music w/ laughs & applause from The Heartland!
B-52s is basically surf rock SOAD-- rapid tempo changes, constant harmony, nonsense lyrics, ... animal noises ... Now we need you to do "if the B-52s wrote Chop Suey"
This has been part of my playlist and listen in my car every day or two the last few months since I discovered it. Holy shit! Love your work, dude. This and Ariels by Incubus are my favorites. I will always listen to those two and for the rest of my life. They are gold.
You never fail to impress! This is such a hoot and such an excellent grasp of both songs! I’m gonna show this to my folks because I think they would get a kick out of it (as they are fans of both bands lol)
If it had a verse about the military industrial complex I would believe that this was a SOAD song.
A verse or just off-tempo ramblings about the Iraqi war would be peak Toxicity-ers SOAD
The lobster is symbolic
Iraq Lobster!
Only if a rock lobster can be weaponized! 😏
Very good
this is such an absurd prompt and you still pulled it off perfectly
Thank you very very much my dude 🤘
@@macglocky no problem dude! love ur videos
My personal opinion is that this isn't absurd at all. The original song has exactly the perfect type of vocal to fit with SOAD's style. Regardless, it's epic af.
Yeah I was going to say, this is a perfect system of a down song. Solid fucking cover dude.
Or mash up
All it needs is Serj randomly hitting a high note and its perfect
And "Daron" singing about his cock
I thought for sure he would do it at “everybody had matching towels!”
@disturbedpyro4511 his voice would explode hitting that note set.
@@scottwilliams3665 😂😂
or a suite-pee style deepthroat-the-mic scream
I am THE biggest B-52s fan and also a System of a Down fan. I would have never imagined this version. Very well done!
This is a very bold claim. My mom grew up in Miami when the B-52s were just becoming a popular band, she absolutely loves them and instilled the love of their music into my siblings and myself.
It's always good to hear that some people have great taste in music, happy holidays.
Lol, well, I can't compete with that. I'm happy being the second biggest fan.@@abucket14
Check out the band dead horse, they do a kick ass version of rock lobster
Look up B-69's Chop Suey.... for real.
I have. I love it! @@rshinra
If somebody showed me this without me knowing the source and told me it was some unreleased SOAD cover song, I would 100% believe it. Your Serj impression is so fucking spot on.
I never knew I needed System of a Down playing Rock Lobster until now. Excellent work!
SOAD always had a sense of humor in their albums amongst the heavier songs. This totally fits, nicely done!
Serj especially did in his solo albums
We need a switcheroo... What if Deftones wrote Chop Suey and SOAD wrote Be Quiet and Drive
Oh boy I actually love this idea.
@@alecbenner9118 That would be incredible
Fantastic
Me personally I want to see a Deftones aerials cover
and performing like the bands are dueling
I... Actually really really really really really need them to live cover this now
If they don't cover this in one of their tour dates next year I will riot.
The seamless transition to 6/8, that's so SOAD. Love it, you're extremely talented.
I knew what this would sound like when I clicked on it and you somehow made it sound even more like SOAD than even SOAD can. You're a menace to society and I'm calling the cops.
😂
I'd love to have this on spotify and the Mr. Brightside one as well. Great work!!!
Most underrated comment on the internet
Omg yesss😂
That was surprisingly a 10/10. Didn't think it'd translate well into the style, but you nailed it.
Never heard Rock Lobster but this just genuinely sounds like something SOAD would write! Also played and sing so well if someone randomly played this to me I'd honestly have believed this was SOAD! This is unbelievably good!!
Bounce sounds a lot like SOAD covering a B-52's song that the B-52's forgot to write, not at all surprised this worked so well.
Where from most people are likely familiar with Rock Lobster: ua-cam.com/video/pn26ZJhSJ94/v-deo.html
Oh, dude the original is a fuckin' jam and a half
My exact thoughts. I've never heard rock lobster either but this was just Serj with dark eye shadow coming close to the camera with his distinct facial expressions 😂
Rock Lobster is an absolute fucking classic
It's scary how good this is even the bridge sounds like SOAD, killed it
This is an absolute delight. A+ content that put such a smile on my face. Silly as hell, but that guitarwork is phenomenal.
dude frrr!!!
What the fuck, I came in here expecting a silly parody and this was genuinely great. You nailed the sound of my favorite band, all the way down to the freakin’ Serj and Daron harmonizing.
What about Zombie by The Cranberries in style of SOAD, it's totally up their alley on calling out the military industrial complex
This is the first video of yours that I've seen but WOW you do an incredible job capturing Serj's unique vocal style! Super impressive!!
Go check out his SOAD Mr bright side it’s even better
Ive listened to this back to back for the last 20 minutes .. how does this work so good? Buddy you slayed this mix 👏 bravo 👏
I know the feeling,i just lettin it play over n over
SOAD is my most favorite band ever. You fucking turn their music into something more amazing than I would think possible. We want an entire album. Fuckingamazing!!! FUCKING AMAZING!
I agree, where can we get the album?
Lemme kno when u find it
Your tastes in music are as good as my tastes in women. Wanna go to a concert together sometime?
@@Superabound2Dude did you just simp on UA-cam? Yeesh!
I can't tell in words how much i love these videos about SOAD, it's like they started to compose again
He says it's cursed because he knows it is absolutely wicked!!!
How does this go so fucking hard, you might be a genius
Believe it or not, my 2 favorite bands in the world are SOAD and the B-52s. So this...
made me really happy
I actually like a lot the song Rock Lobster and now that you made this version, I can't believe that you made it sound so much better. You never disappoint me, this is too damn cool, bro.

THE GALLOP IN THE CHORUS GOES CRAZY🔥🔥🔥
Your voice actually sounds like a more raw version of Serj's godly voice and I abso-fucking-lutely love it❤❤❤
Rock Lobster is 100% something SOAD would write.
Seriously id listen to an entire album of your covers dude. Good shit
Is this guy the most underrated artist on UA-cam? Seriously, I could listen to a whole album of this stuff
Not gonna lie... as a life long SOAD fan, I had to see. Omfg dude, you are so damned talented.
Jesus this is unbelievable. How on earth did you make this work? :D The fact that you don't have half a million subs already is a sin. Keep it up man.
The way you whispered “but it wasn’t a rock” absolute gold dude! Keep up the solid work!
This needs way more views.
You are underrated my dude. Thats no bueno. Your vocals are spot fucking on as the duo. Really impressive to listen to what goofy shit you filter through their sound.
What we've learned through the last couple years of fanship, nothing you do is cursed 😂😭 you are a once in a generation musician that just picks up whatever he can and makes magic with it.
Also, what if deftones made "headstrong" by trapt
I would speculate that he says "this will be cursed" almost as a failsafe, so that it won't be cursed.
Love this needs a full 7 minute long version
Nailed it…so good!
Vocals are spot on. Would you please describe your vocal chain starting w you mic all the way through the plugins? Thanks and keep ‘em coming!
How about if Primus made Summer of ‘69!
Your recommendation gave me an idea. Disturbed does “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)”.
In the style of “Remember” chorus:
Eeeeeeeeeeverythinnnnng I do,
I do it for you, do it for you.
Okay you're right this is cursed but in like the best possible way!
blursed
And within the first 10 seconds, you are thinking wait a sec...
Did they?
Absolutely one of my favorites from you. The screaming of "Rock Lobster" absolutely made it!!
"There's no way this isn't cursed", this is literally my favorite cover you've ever done, I keep going back to it and listening xD
omg, the chorus! You are the one who has the best sense of getting the song catchy of the "If X wrote Y"-channels. Almost getting better/more skillful for each video!
This is in the top 10 of greatest things on the internet for sure.
the drums bro...SO AMAZING the idea itself and man, you NAILED IT!!!
Loved the b52s, good cover that does it justice
Brilliant...seriously who suggested such a mash up of utterly perfection?
SOAD would be proud of you ♥ Serj would tip his hat to you Sir. I subscribed after finding this, Thank you Facebook for bringing this to me man. ROCK LOBSTER!!!!! ❤🔥🤟

I just found this channel and it's my new favorite. I absolutely LOVE MASHUPS.
same!
With how good you did this, I'd love to see your take of them doing "Give Me Back My Man". That's my favorite B-52's song.
Mac ever misses. This is insane. Could've closed my eyes and thought this was a genuine cover SOAD. Nailed the harmonies dude!
A band from Houston called Dead Horse released a cover like this, in the early 90s. I remember how it was a huge hit in our local metal scene.
This goes hard asf, what an incredible talent you have. Your ability to identify and mimick the unique sound fingerprint of an artist and the apply it to a completely random song blows me away. My wife doesn't even listen to metal and she agrees this is hard asf. I hope you have as much fun creating these songs as I do listening to them. What a talent and a treat to behold. Keep shining man
you deserve more recognition my friend. you always pull off sweet mashups
Unbelievable harmonies! Great job!
This is the best thing I've heard in while! You nailed it.
Dude these what if songs you make are flawless! If this had of been on a SOAD cd I had from back in the day, this would have been one of my favorites!
This definitely sounds like something they would have done. They still should lol
Fucking killed it 🙌🙌
You’re the most talented person I’ve seen in my life !!!! To play the instruments, and to sing in different tones and as different singers , to video recording ur videos, your the sht bro!! Mad props!!!
This genuinely sounds like how it would sound if they did an official cover of this song, the guitar and vocal harmonies are amazing, you seriously fucking nailed it!!!
This makes TOO MUCH SENSE.
🤘🏻😜🤘🏻
🎶🎸🎶
amazing talent and hard work
this is insane wtf lol this is sick, bro!
Five months later, and I can honestly say this is the most wtf in the best way fucking perfect re-interpretation.
I would pay good money to watch SOAD cover this song live with you making a guest appearance on stage performing with them. This is one of those songs where the cover beccomes better than the original. lol
I don't know the original, but you do a superb job at capturing all the nuances in system's style. Excellent as always! Can't wait for more!
That is a very well considered combo. Sounds excellent. Could totally imagine SOAD doing this cover.
i keep coming back to this it goes stupidly hard
If you want cursed, then hear me out on this one...Green Day does "The Best Day Ever" from Spongebob Squarepants.
If deftones wrote Alive by Lo-Pro
I agree wait haven’t you been asking for this for a while
Yes I have but it’s fine I’m sure he’ll see it soon btw it’s my fav song In the world
That’s cool that it’s your favorite but dude all I’m gonna say is if he doesn’t respond to you or make a vid about it later than you should prob forget about that idea
@@ChubsterFX bruh he would make it sound so good tho I’m not wasting this opportunity all I have to do is just keep asking till he sees it I won’t stop till he sees it

this fit so perfectly. the song is so goofy and crazy it fits right in with SOAD
pretty fly for a white guy but korn
SICK!!!!!! How do you do it? I'm only a minute in and I know this will be in my playlist
Love this! Well done, absolutely awesome.
You’ve perfectly captured early SOAD!
B-52s is basically surf rock SOAD-- rapid tempo changes, constant harmony, nonsense lyrics, ... animal noises ...
Now we need you to do "if the B-52s wrote Chop Suey"
The can’t get over the way “stop it” was not followed by that guitar intro for “Where is my mind”.
Searched this from IG had to hear it in full…
Man this is seriously so good these might be the best videos on UA-cam
Legit tight AF… saved to my Music playlist!! Thanx for that!
“But it wasn’t a rock” whispered cracks me up every time for some reason
Drumming is on point with John's style
I hate the normal version of this song, but holy shit this goes HARD. You absolutely nailed it, very impressive.
This has been part of my playlist and listen in my car every day or two the last few months since I discovered it. Holy shit! Love your work, dude. This and Ariels by Incubus are my favorites. I will always listen to those two and for the rest of my life. They are gold.
Best thing I've seen on the internet in a long time, well done dude!! 😂
My man just played a regular System of a Down song and thought we wouldn't notice
best song of you so far! the soad style is perfect fit for you! many thanks!
Why does it work every single time for me,dude you rock hard
You never fail to impress! This is such a hoot and such an excellent grasp of both songs! I’m gonna show this to my folks because I think they would get a kick out of it (as they are fans of both bands lol)
This has made my day - superb work!
Man, I was hoping to hear the whole animal noises part, too. That was great!
You totally nailed it. If there will be a full version I will be very happy
This is disturbingly good, never seen this channel before but the algorithm has blessed me
This is fucking incredible. Sharing everywhere!
Aw mate, your covers are so excellent! Love this level of creativity! Well done, keep up the ear melting tunes 🙌🙌🙌
