I’m glad more people are hearing SOAD. They influenced a lot of my views in life and I have no regrets being aware with the issue most just overlook or ignore. Good react
The last song on this album, which is their first and self titled, reminded me alot of TOOL. Because I was a TOOL fan before system came out in like 1997 or so. You guys should def check more system out
If you guys recall the video for CMFT Must Be Stopped, one of the cameos was a bald guy with a magnificent white goatee. That man is Scott Ian, lead singer of Anthrax.
I'd like to point out a couple things: a) Ego Brain is maybe the most slept on SOAD song, never played live, nobody ever talks about it as a favorite of theirs (because there are so many bangers in the discography). But for me personally, it's one of my favorites. b) Dreaming is a wild track that has never been played live as well, because it would be too hard to do so. There are multiple layered vocals, just nuts.
Even though you just reacted to Spiders, you guys should react to the live version when they preformed on Conan. It’s their best version played live and you won’t be disappointed👍
Great song! One of their earlier bangers. You REALLY, REALLY, REAAAAALLY gotta react to one of their biggest hits and perfect gem that is "Aerials". The whole thing is a masterpiece, from musical composition to the instrumentation, to the lyrics and ending in Serj´s vocals. Amazing!
Way to take me back 20+ years. Saw SOAD live a couple of years ago in Sacramento at Afterschock. It was amazing!!! Gotta do Deftones ft Serj "Mein" SOAD "Sugar"
One of the bands who got to hear fear inoculum first along with ratm was soad. If i remember adam talks about how john from soad was there when they were recording fear and both him and tom morrello were quoted as saying very dark very sexy very deep very melodic and very tool. Cant remember the direct quote from morrello i think it was a twitter post before the album release. Im almost certain adam mentioned soad on his talk is jericho interview.
React to "Karnivool - New Day", please. You won't regret it. And please keep making reaction vids... Bridging a gap in style. You guy's are killing it. Thank you for your content, it keeps me going.
I have an idea: Try his solo project. Empty walls is really...great? i dont know . Its beautiful in a cruel way...like killing murderers...satisfiying...but disturbing...The music is the killing...the lyrics the feeling after all...
You guys should check out "Institutionalized" by Ice'T's metal band Body Count! It's a sick cover of a great Suicidal Tendencies song. Also the video is hilarious :D
Circle Takes the Square - Non-objective Portrait of Karma Guys, if you want to go a bit into the underground, this will blow your mind ;) Epic build-up, amazing musicianship. Their whiole album 'As the roots undo' is a fucking masterclass trip from second 1 until the end.
Great song! I returned like 23 years That first record is fireeee. You should hear "War" and a minute of silence for Armenia who is on war right now against arzebaiyan ☹. Greetings from Chile. Keep rockinnn
Spiders are absolutely essential to our eco system and they really do keep the bug populations down to a manageable level. Love this song it was the first soad song along with peephole both great songs
I’m about to graduate from high school and I have Seattle rock to thank for me making it through although I do wish that I got to experience them when it was current
Hey guys if you like songs with a message you should definitely check out Tentative, U-Fig, or Hypnotize all by System of a Down no rush brothers have a good one!
You compared them to Tool which was interesting. I reckon it’d be hard not to be influenced by them. I also think they may have been influenced by Faith No More. You should check out some their catalogue.
I'm sure there was some influence by Tool, and I wouldn't be surprised if they influenced Tool at some point as well. Especially after hearing Danny Carey talk about always searching for influences.
You guys should react to B.Y.O.B. The video is amazing and the lyrics have an incredible critic. Also, pleeeaaase please please please react to My Chemical Romance! They are completely different from SOAD hahah but we (old emo people :') ) would really appreciate it. The most known songs are Helena and Welcome to The Black Parade, and I would also recommend (from the last to the first CD - 3 songs each): Vampire Money, Planetary (GO!), Na Na Na, House Of Wolves, Mama, Dead!, You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison, I'm Not Okay (I Promise), The Ghost of You, Cubicles, Our Lady of Sorrows and Vampires Will Never Hurt You. Thank you so much for your work, guys!
If you want more powerful Serj vocals, Holy Mountains is amazing.
I love
wow cant wait to hear it
This song is great.
@@Hollywood6IX plz listen to holy mountains soon XD really is one of their most powerful performances
Serj's solo album single "Empty Walls" hurts in all the best ways. Video is intense.
That last part of the chorus ALWAYS gets me - the intensity, the emotion - puts a tear in my eye.
Same
I am a fan of both Tool and SOAD. Maynard and Serj have sang together on stage before.
Link
My favorite System is a Down song is “Forest.” Sick ass riff and huge vocals that really get you thinking 🤔 .. check it out mayn!
underrated
Agreed, also Innervision
Forest is also my fav! I really hope they do it too.
the “JUST LOOK AT US NOW!” always gets me
that, Highway Song, Mind, Streamline, etc. all underrated
You guys need to have a day dedicated to system. They are unique just like tool.
One of their most "simple" songs and still one of my favorites!
I’m glad more people are hearing SOAD. They influenced a lot of my views in life and I have no regrets being aware with the issue most just overlook or ignore.
Good react

Their first album was the most sincere and real raw remorseless. Beautiful. RIP my bro that introduced me me to this literally the day it came out.
That one makes me cry! Chills.....

There's a part of dreaming that is played (almost) every live though (She lost her mind....)
@@nerothos640 yeah they can only play that tiny little slice. Such a tease.
I love seeing you guys slowly become metalheads
Tool and System! That would be an incredible concert bill!
I swear this is my fav SOAD song, but just now for the first time I was thinking this sounds Tool influenced. Then you said the same.
Even though you just reacted to Spiders, you guys should react to the live version when they preformed on Conan. It’s their best version played live and you won’t be disappointed👍
SOAD did start around the same time as TOOL, both from LA, and toured together.
Sevendust "Home" or "Risen". Also, Hed (pe) killing time
Love Sevendust
Great song! One of their earlier bangers. You REALLY, REALLY, REAAAAALLY gotta react to one of their biggest hits and perfect gem that is "Aerials". The whole thing is a masterpiece, from musical composition to the instrumentation, to the lyrics and ending in Serj´s vocals. Amazing!
These guys live are (were) amazing! they sounded just like the record, thats amaizing
love that song, love to sing (scream) it when I'm drunk (don't whant to now how others hear me...)
3:05. You guys always amaze me. Every time. This is one of the things that rile me up. Thanks for educating people.
Gotta love SOAD. Somehow I missed this when it dropped.
Same here wtf?
@@kimberlysaffles9332 +1
wait.... you mean until NOW? lol holy shit
if that's the case, you've got a lot to check out, and quite a journey to take
Ohio Against The World I thought he meant he didn’t get a notification when they uploaded their reaction. I didn’t either which is unusual
Love System of a down. Good job guys 🤘
Way to take me back 20+ years. Saw SOAD live a couple of years ago in Sacramento at Afterschock. It was amazing!!! Gotta do
Deftones ft Serj "Mein"
SOAD "Sugar"
SOAD and Tool. The two best. Definitely get into SOADs music.
I've been waiting for you guys to do this song. I like the way this starts real slow then gets hardcore
I love how you guys are not monetised:) thanks
Metro is a great cover by these guys that you must react to, there can be no flex on this one!
This song is from their self-titled debut album (my personal favourite). Out in 98, some 3 years before Toxicity.
This is my favorite SOAD song
One of the bands who got to hear fear inoculum first along with ratm was soad.
If i remember adam talks about how john from soad was there when they were recording fear and both him and tom morrello were quoted as saying very dark very sexy very deep very melodic and very tool.

SOAD, Know, is my favorite tune by them. 1st album throws down.
Y'all need to do a full album stream of this record. Their self titled debut is their heaviest and darkest. So good. Keep up the good work y'all!
My number one System song
Smoke dog didn't know what to do with his hands!! Lmao. I love these guys.
React to "Karnivool - New Day", please. You won't regret it. And please keep making reaction vids... Bridging a gap in style. You guy's are killing it. Thank you for your content, it keeps me going.
That and then Deadman. You guys will be in love
Karnivool is great, COTE is a good one as well.
I really like sky machine, it is great if I am not in the mood for something heavy
Yeah he did look up there concert in Seattle I think in 97
The “actor” in this is the Bassist. Lol.
I love watching this journey!
Updated: thanks, Nope.
Bassist
You right, Nope. 💜
@@shondaphillips5558 actually i see both of them , you right too
Please listen to Puscifer "Conditions of my parole" director's cut PLEASE!
Such a hauntingly beautiful song.
Back then, when this was released, there was no TIMELINE to pop up in. you had to watch MTV or hear radio and bought the CD ;-D
System of a Down fan since I was 9 years old, only knew about the metal scene at 15 ^^
Their first record is special. i remember listening to the fuck out of it after buying it randomly from the record exchange.
Saw them live with golgo bordello!
I try to make it as easy on y spiders as possible I enjoy watching them build their webs they make great free Halloween decorations!
guys I highly recommend you check out SOAD - Question its a really dope song you gonna love it :)
Ahhhh spiders such a great song. You guys gotta check out ernesto schnack and his soad and tool covers they are next level. Soooo good.
6:55 - 6:57 that powerful look serj gave
"Maybe I've heard this riff before" if you've ever watched "Scream 3," then that's why you've heard it, 'cuz its in the movie
System is system all in one.
Soad war, suggestions, atwa ,video radio also bangers
nice reaction! you should react to deer dance
Another great song to react to is I-E-A-I-A-I-O by System Of A Down Live at Reading Festival
Great song, great reaction!
Ghost, Year Zero plzz Amazing song!!
I think this could have references to drug use. Some addicts have hallucinations about spiders crawling over the bodies.
I have an idea: Try his solo project. Empty walls is really...great? i dont know . Its beautiful in a cruel way...like killing murderers...satisfiying...but disturbing...The music is the killing...the lyrics the feeling after all...
You guys have to do one of Serg Tankian's Empty Walls
You guys should check out "Institutionalized" by Ice'T's metal band Body Count! It's a sick cover of a great Suicidal Tendencies song. Also the video is hilarious :D
Hey Hollywood, there's a spider on your shoulder!!! 😂
You should now follow this with War , from the same album. Yes Serj originally had dreads.
Circle Takes the Square - Non-objective Portrait of Karma
Guys, if you want to go a bit into the underground, this will blow your mind ;) Epic build-up, amazing musicianship. Their whiole album 'As the roots undo' is a fucking masterclass trip from second 1 until the end.
Timing: Buckethead ft Serj Tankian.
You're welcome
Lol if you haven't done so already. It's one of my favorites
There are a couple of *poisonous* snakes. But yes. "Poisonous" means toxic by ingestion, "venomous" means toxic by injection.
Please do question with the video!!!!! Dope! Pretty sure I've already asked but will keep asking lol
Listen to scars on Broadway( they say) it’s the guitar player from system in his own band
SOAD - Shame feat. Wu-Tang
The “actors” are Serj, Daron and Shavo from SOAD. 😂
Great song! I returned like 23 years That first record is fireeee. You should hear "War" and a minute of silence for Armenia who is on war right now against arzebaiyan ☹. Greetings from Chile. Keep rockinnn

I’m about to graduate from high school and I have Seattle rock to thank for me making it through although I do wish that I got to experience them when it was current

I can be wrong, but they actually did it. Check out their vids to find out.
Best system of a down meme: table
I'm sure there was some influence by Tool, and I wouldn't be surprised if they influenced Tool at some point as well. Especially after hearing Danny Carey talk about always searching for influences.
You guys should react to B.Y.O.B. The video is amazing and the lyrics have an incredible critic.
