The live version of this song where daron plays the solo from the ground and then improvises an extra piece is one of my favorite live music moments ever. The emotion and craziness are palpable
The best thing about it is, when he drops to the ground after spinning in circles serj supports him with his keyboard while shavo and john just ignore them like its a normal thing to happen to them 😂
The toxicity album is one of their best albums. If you guys ever do full album reviews that would be a good start. Also forest, ATWA, jet pilot are a few good suggestions from that album.
I completely agree that SOAD is one of those legendary bands that doesn't have one single crap song in their catalog. Similar to Tool, I honestly can't ever decide what my favorite SOAD album is best. Depends on the day of the week.
Yo con 14 años me enamoré de este disco y en particular de éste tema, es perfecto... Tanto la letra como ese solo de guitarra... Tan emocionante y expresivo.... Tremenda banda. Y buena reacción...
Hey guys, starting my morning off as usual. Always look forward to reactions every morning. I’ve been waiting for this one for a while. My favorite channel by far. And as always keep up the great work, and please react to volbeat, shotgun blues! I’m telling you you will not be disappointed.
When I’m listening their songs I can cry at same time I can going crazy I can laugh and smile I can feel their songs emotional They are THE BEST 🥰🙏🏻🎸❤️
I have a great story of like 100 people all singing the Toxicity at an amazing tailgate party before a massive festival in my hometown!! So, parties were amazing!!
Try empty walls by Serj Tankian when he went solo. Yet as a warning watch the video, it is amazing and poetic. I am insane yet i am not psycho 🙃 the line between smart and fucking nuts is a thin line
You guys should check out threat signal and hatebreed. I believe it was threat signal that had Kyle McKnight on guitar either way check out their song counter balance
I started listening to SOAD in 1999. Been hooked since I heard Sugar. So many good choices to pick from next. ATWA, Suggestions, Forest, DDevil, Science, War?, Bounce, Mind, Darts, Peephole, Soil. Seriously, as you said on a previous video, you wish you had this playlist growing up. I'm equally jealous that you're getting to here these tracks for the first time. Go see them live. You will not regret it.
I would be on my way to school singing the hell out of the is song! Wow the memories. People would be looking at me like damn that girl might need some help.
I absolutely love System’s first 3 albums, I’m a little more critical of their Hypnotize/Mesmerize albums, but there are some bangers on there. I can listen to every song in their Self Titled, Toxicity, and Steal This Album. I love Psycho’s guitar solo, they preformed this sooo well live when I went to see them. Great song, great reaction, fellas!!
The entire Toxicity album is what hooked me into SOAD back in ‘01. Every song was on 🔥 such an amazing talented band that sadly only put out 5 albums. This song is one of my favorites from the album, such chaotic energy!
Morning fellas! So happy you are doing SOAD! LOVE LOVE LOVE them! (And smokey was funny imitating the song... Lyrics"wake up,why don't you put on a little makeup...." Made me laugh! Great reaction and thanks again guys!🤓❤️
Just a quick note; I fucking LOVE how you fellas go hard for NU Metal aswell! Not to many people reacting to 90's and 00's metal; we need MORE on this, a very short lived era before we can distinguish Djent from Metal.
So many amazing heavy metal bands in the world. So many... I remember back in the day when I 1st heard this band. Me and my sister would always rock out to this song. 😁
You need to heard the live version, the solo was larger with some improvisation and Daron (guirarrist) was playing while running and dropping on the floor, a full tripp
Love your reviews guys, my fav SOAD song has to be toxicity closely followed by Aerial. I'm a Brit and grew up listening to US/UK hip hop and listen to all sorts these days so enjoy all of your reviews...anyway here's one for you to listen to...classed as "punk rap" if you're into classing music, there's a very distinctive UK band that's definitely doing their own punk rap thing that I'd like to see your reaction to, they are called "Sleaford Mods" and maybe a tune called "Nudge It" would be a good call, although there are a few that stand out! It's very unique!!
Not sure if u already did this one but Sevendust - Black.... but its dope.i looked at all you're sevendust reactions and you havent done "Black' yet....its really good
It's so amazing that you mentioned talking heads! My friend Jaun in music school doesn't get system of a down. He said they're to idiosyncratic to understand(sounds like nobody) so I said and I'm quoting "you need to do a Mashup, it helps explain it, like if someone asked what is Led Zeppelin to someone who doesn't get the hype, so I'd say Led Zeppelin=Beatles+romantic-honesty or the don't get Pink Floyd=MoodyBlues- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky+Phillip Glass. For system of a down: "that's so simple but you're not going to like it" "I'm cool with this game though!" "Okay so System=Slayer+TALKING HEADS!" "......oh god, oh god, oh fuck that......I mean you're right but......how the fuck did this band actually happen because if you told me that was something people would WANT?!!!" "We're at a college for music......please NEVER say fuck that.........it IS curious, of you." But yeah, accentialy Slayer+Talking Heads. "Do Ted Nugent!"(asked nobody but I can and will; all day) okay, Hendrix Lyrics-all psychedelia references+metal attitude-metal lore+cowboy look circa early 90's+Santana tone-anything Elvis/doowap+John Lee Hooker/T-bone Walker/Albert King/BB King licks=The Motorcity Madman.........who just so happens to be name THEODORE!(like how the fuck???)
I remember. This channel called the box. On old school antenna. You'd call a number and pay like 2 bucks. And they'd play music videos. ,that's the first time I seen the sugar video. , Instantly became a fan. This was in like 96.
Honestly. Toxicity album is totally insane! Something that is popular and shows System all in one song. Vicinity of obscenity. Weird. Catchy AF. Heavy.
That was a Great song! BYOB is my fav SOD song as well. It's definitely a vibe. Wait, is it SOD or SOAD??? PS. After looking at some other comments. Peace Guys...
Sneaker Pimps-Sick IAMX-I Come With Knives Earshot-Wait Finger Eleven-Quicksand Filter-She's Gonna Kill Me Nine Inch Nails-Ruiner (version) Fait to Midland Rikki Tikki Tavi
Crazy good album with most songs being pretty short should check a couple of them out in one vid Deer Dance is one of my favs, along with needles which is a must fr 🤘
Knowing your interest in SOAD and love of Hip Hop, you should ABSOLUTELY check out the cover of the song "Shame" that System did with Wu-Tang... fire dudes for real
The live version of this song where daron plays the solo from the ground and then improvises an extra piece is one of my favorite live music moments ever. The emotion and craziness are palpable
The best thing about it is, when he drops to the ground after spinning in circles serj supports him with his keyboard while shavo and john just ignore them like its a normal thing to happen to them 😂
Absolutely everything you said!!
thats BDO
It was one of the best live performances ever
BDO 2002, craziest version. And as it's always followed by chop suey that make it even better
The toxicity album is one of their best albums. If you guys ever do full album reviews that would be a good start. Also forest, ATWA, jet pilot are a few good suggestions from that album.
I second this
i'd say it's one of their top 4 albums. ;-)
I concur 👽♾️🦋
Forest is awesome. The whole album is great.
Toxicity is front to back bangers
An underrated SOAD song. Should have been a single
That entire album is an absolute banger! Should do a complete Toxicity album listening party!
My absolute favourite band ever. They've never written a song I didn't love.
I completely agree that SOAD is one of those legendary bands that doesn't have one single crap song in their catalog. Similar to Tool, I honestly can't ever decide what my favorite SOAD album is best. Depends on the day of the week.
It's always a trip when, everytime they do SOaD you know what's coming, and they just don't. 'Prison Song' or 'ATWA" are my suggestions for next.
They've done Prison Song 🤘
Another classic from the Toxicity album. Easily in my top ten albums ever. Science would be a good one to do next.
They also have a song called "This Cocain Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song" that shit there is pure chaos.
My favorite SOAD song is Spiders from the self titled album . Then again I absolutely love that entire album , P.L.U.C.K is another great one
System Of A Down Sunday, let's gooooooooooo!
They need to do a deep dive for sure.
Agreed
One of the best SOAD songs in my opinion
Amazing song, serg switches from rap to melodic singing with ease, serg is very talented for sure as is the rest of the band
You guys should really do lonely day or lost in Hollywood so you could appreciate Daron's vocals more
Cigaro is another good one
omg yes
Yo con 14 años me enamoré de este disco y en particular de éste tema, es perfecto... Tanto la letra como ese solo de guitarra... Tan emocionante y expresivo.... Tremenda banda. Y buena reacción...
este solo es de dioses, daron algo hizo que tan solo con dos cuerdas y cuatro espacios creo una melodia que te llega al alma..... magnifico
"Violent Pornography" and "Cigaro"
Great reaction guys. This is one of my SOAD favorites. As others have said, this whole album is amazing.
Based on your t shirt
Ministry song N.W.O
Such an epic song..thx you guys .big HI from Croatia

When I’m listening their songs I can cry at same time I can going crazy I can laugh and smile
I can feel their songs emotional
They are THE BEST 🥰🙏🏻🎸❤️
That whole album was fire.. I saw them live a few years back man.. best money I ever spent..
watching you guys is the funniest shit ever lmao I love this song
My fav by them too man! only ever did one line of c*ke (dont take drugs kids!), but man this takes you to another plain!
Hollywood CA's finest band.
Check out one of their 2002 live performances of the song, like Rock im Park, Pinkpop or whatever, with the extended guitar solo outro. It's amazing!
Hell yeahhh!!!!
classic albums back then. good stuff trash talkers. cheers from OZ
They've played this song live a few times and it's just amazing! Everyone gets hyped up!!! 🖤🖤🖤
" I feel like I just did some coke"... haha Hollywood you the man loved that comment made my day hearing it!!!
Shamrock actually held the rights to the name: "The Rock"
BTW, SOAD has a song called: "This cocaine makes me think I'm on this song."
SOAD have so many great songs it's always gonna be hard to pick a favourite until you've listened to their whole back catalogue.
'I feel like i just did some C´ke'
That line had me dying!
Love you guys!! Greetings from italy 😁
Greatest Band of all time
Respects from Los Angeles ✝️💙🇺🇸🇦🇲
I have a great story of like 100 people all singing the Toxicity at an amazing tailgate party before a massive festival in my hometown!! So, parties were amazing!!
the solo is excellent....very, very good. As a 3 decade Rush fan, I`m sure the transitions would have made them all smile, too. RIP The Professor.
Try empty walls by Serj Tankian when he went solo. Yet as a warning watch the video, it is amazing and poetic. I am insane yet i am not psycho 🙃 the line between smart and fucking nuts is a thin line
SOAD has so many good songs! Believe me! Great reaction!
Please do a soad wednesday. You have to react to all soad songs they're amazing
You guys should check out threat signal and hatebreed. I believe it was threat signal that had Kyle McKnight on guitar either way check out their song counter balance
Lol No joke I literally snapped into a slim jim before playing the video. OOOHHHH YEEEEAAAA!!!!
😁
Love it when Hollywood says ´I am seing geometrical shapes’ 😂

this is my favorite SOAD too, its so underrated. its soad at their very best, the epitome of them.
I would be on my way to school singing the hell out of the is song! Wow the memories. People would be looking at me like damn that girl might need some help.
"I'm seeing geometrical shapes" LMAO
LOL that's what's up man. Get those CEVs!
I absolutely love System’s first 3 albums, I’m a little more critical of their Hypnotize/Mesmerize albums, but there are some bangers on there.

that bass is so scary lmfao literally the sound of somebody about to lay down on you
Morning fellas! So happy you are doing SOAD! LOVE LOVE LOVE them! (And smokey was funny imitating the song... Lyrics"wake up,why don't you put on a little makeup...." Made me laugh! Great reaction and thanks again guys!🤓❤️
If y’all wanna hear Serj rap listen to Shame
Just a quick note; I fucking LOVE how you fellas go hard for NU Metal aswell! Not to many people reacting to 90's and 00's metal; we need MORE on this, a very short lived era before we can distinguish Djent from Metal.
So many amazing heavy metal bands in the world. So many... I remember back in the day when I 1st heard this band. Me and my sister would always rock out to this song. 😁
Toxicity is one of the best albums of ALL TIME, top 10 for me, personally it’s my number one. I can play it all through.
That was just awesome...my first time hearing this one as well. Bad ass.
You need to heard the live version, the solo was larger with some improvisation and Daron (guirarrist) was playing while running and dropping on the floor, a full tripp
The distance between genius and insanity is measured only by success.
I will always remember my first time hearing this on my new soundproof earbuds lmao🔥🔥🔥
'A thin line between stupid and clever'. Smirk
Yall gotta see the live performance.....Daron stretches the solo out a lot longer and it's fucking amazing.
Love your reviews guys, my fav SOAD song has to be toxicity closely followed by Aerial.
I'm a Brit and grew up listening to US/UK hip hop and listen to all sorts these days so enjoy all of your reviews...anyway here's one for you to listen to...classed as "punk rap" if you're into classing music, there's a very distinctive UK band that's definitely doing their own punk rap thing that I'd like to see your reaction to, they are called "Sleaford Mods" and maybe a tune called "Nudge It" would be a good call, although there are a few that stand out! It's very unique!!
This songs leads into Aerials...
Serj is playing the keys btw
Not sure if u already did this one but Sevendust - Black.... but its dope.i looked at all you're sevendust reactions and you havent done "Black' yet....its really good
The sound of System of a Down is as impactful or more than the sound of rap.
Guys you have to check out Dreaming by SOAD, if you thought holy Mountains and this were intense, wait to listen to that song. Great video as usual.
It's so amazing that you mentioned talking heads! My friend Jaun in music school doesn't get system of a down. He said they're to idiosyncratic to understand(sounds like nobody) so I said and I'm quoting "you need to do a Mashup, it helps explain it, like if someone asked what is Led Zeppelin to someone who doesn't get the hype, so I'd say Led Zeppelin=Beatles+romantic-honesty or the don't get Pink Floyd=MoodyBlues-
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky+Phillip Glass.
For system of a down: "that's so simple but you're not going to like it" "I'm cool with this game though!" "Okay so System=Slayer+TALKING HEADS!" "......oh god, oh god, oh fuck that......I mean you're right but......how the fuck did this band actually happen because if you told me that was something people would WANT?!!!" "We're at a college for music......please NEVER say fuck that.........it IS curious, of you."
But yeah, accentialy Slayer+Talking Heads.
"Do Ted Nugent!"(asked nobody but I can and will; all day) okay, Hendrix Lyrics-all psychedelia references+metal attitude-metal lore+cowboy look circa early 90's+Santana tone-anything Elvis/doowap+John Lee Hooker/T-bone Walker/Albert King/BB King licks=The Motorcity Madman.........who just so happens to be name THEODORE!(like how the fuck???)
Literally every track from the Toxicity album is a banger. It's a masterpiece imo.
Y'all won't regret checking them out.
Cheers lads
Absolutely shows their influence from 1980s Dead Kennedys. Certainly Kennedys Grandchildren. Vocal style/quick transitions. Punk
Sounding more like Billy Bob from Sling Blade than Macho Man :)
Awesome! Excited to watch this.
Do you guys think you'll be checking out the new Meshuggah?
Yes! Start a podcast!!! That'd be awesome!!
For me, this is a good guitar solo. Its more about the emotion rather than speed
It’s 1000% based on emotion. The whole section of the song from when solo starts is amazing and it makes me feel a lot of different emotions
Love it, unless I've missed it, you've got to go back where it first started for SOAD, Sugar. Great song
Oh, and my favorite SOAD song is Soil. But it's one of my favorite bands, so I love all of them.
I remember. This channel called the box. On old school antenna. You'd call a number and pay like 2 bucks. And they'd play music videos. ,that's the first time I seen the sugar video. , Instantly became a fan. This was in like 96.
You guys gotta check out their song Forest!!!
Cool shirt Smokey nWo 4 life
You guys should check out the live version of this song from Big Day Out 2002!
You could cover the entire *toxicity* album, front to back, and be surprised and delighted with every single track👽♾️🦋
This is the first SOAD song that I heard and I was so drawn to that back n forth fast n slow that is a part of their music
I think I said this already in your channel but I have the toxicity album on my back haha I’m still in love with it and I have gotten it 5 years ago
Great to react on live of Psycho too! Thanks orrrrr Cigaro on BDO 2005
Nice video, back with SOAD☺️
React to “Soil” of them!!! It’s one of their best songs and a lot fast-talking :3
that guitar solo is psychedelic as f*ck !!
Love this band. They use everything and take advantage of it all. BYOB
Honestly. Toxicity album is totally insane! Something that is popular and shows System all in one song. Vicinity of obscenity. Weird. Catchy AF. Heavy.
Epic indeed
SCIENCE!
I forgot how great this song was. Remember "ladies" - you can pay for show tickets.
That was a Great song! BYOB is my fav SOD song as well. It's definitely a vibe.
Wait, is it SOD or SOAD???
PS. After looking at some other comments.
Peace Guys...
Lmfao! I was waiting!
That's one of best of their song, to moshpit :D
I would recommend, to check still from S.O.A.D, the song called Mr Jack
Sneaker Pimps-Sick
IAMX-I Come With Knives
Earshot-Wait
Finger Eleven-Quicksand
Filter-She's Gonna Kill Me
Nine Inch Nails-Ruiner (version)

Crazy good album with most songs being pretty short should check a couple of them out in one vid Deer Dance is one of my favs, along with needles which is a must fr 🤘
A top 5 all time LP for me...it's LIT af
I can see SOAD Saturdays coming
They need to hear a-e-i-o-u, or chicken pie
ua-cam.com/video/nmDVGkN-kKs/v-deo.html
'Mind' and 'Know' next
Psychopaths aren’t insane. They’re just lacking empathy for anyone other than themselves. ✌🏻💛🎼
You gotta see the Psycho live version from Big Day Out in 2002!
Soad is a very unique band that doesn’t have a bad song. I can listen to all their songs.
Knowing your interest in SOAD and love of Hip Hop, you should ABSOLUTELY check out the cover of the song "Shame" that System did with Wu-Tang... fire dudes for real
