It's crazy how this song works. Throw in off beat time signatures, with unexpected vocal sonics, tasty drums and guitar riffs, put it all in a blender and serve up an epic metal smoothie!!
Their Armenian heritage and influence make them unique in their musical genre. Add to that the fact that they are incredible musicians and Serj Tankian has an amazing, powerful vocal talent. If you like the darker side of SOAD listen to Mind from their self titled album. It gives you the chills.
Fact.. my Nana was an Armenian genocide survivor , she met my jidu in Syria and they got married, moved to beirut and had 7 boys. The same civil war that got Serj to America is why my family ended up here. People that go through shit like that are just different . They seen and been through some shit most people couldn't stomach
I keep telling everyone that System is just different, they don’t even fit the typical metal genre. I’ve seen them play live and they absolutely kill it. Wish I would have had the opportunity to see them in my teens because of how energetic they are, but they are one of my favorite groups of all time!
You will not be disappointed by anything you listen to from this band. Every element meshes perfectly. I believe Serj is one of the great rock vocalists of all time, you can tell he's classically trained and he's so passionate and powerful and animated. Not to take away from Daron, who is an excellent vocalist in his own right, and a beast on the guitar, as well as John on killer drums and Shavo on banging bass. (You look up their full names, I don't have time to type them lol.). Keep riding that SOAD train, Polo, you won't regret it.
System is a one of a kind band, and Serj Tankian is a one of a kind frontman. Can't wait to see more System of a Down reactions, you're going to love them.
Loved this track!! if you enjoy what I do on this channel consider supporting. 70% of my videos are not monetized. Between setting up the studio every day, filming, editing, thumbnails, and research which all take away from my family you guys keep me motivated to put out content daily. Consider buying me a coffee here www.buymeacoffee.com/poloreacts or my Patreon www.patreon.com/poloreacts peace!
I used to have these guys listed as *bipolar metal* because the calm/aggro switchups are so characteristic lol. First time I saw Serj he came out with a top hat and a cane looking dapper af, showman to a T
Everyone always bemoans the fact that the band's struggle to get along with one another severely limited their output and deprived the fans of more brilliant music...but I might suggest that it was that turmoil that produced the angst necessary to come up with the amazing works we were gifted...ll SOAD!
I'd rather see a band split, than make shitty music or replace key members tbh. One of my favourite bands called it a day after only having released 3 albums, because they wanted to end things on a high note. Now that's integrity. Music isn't for the fans, it's for the art.
@@jbrassic5434 but isn't most art actually for the fans? Otherwise, why expose any of it. If it was truly created just to create it, we would never see or hear it....
They are off the wall but right on point if that makes sense lol🤷♂️ Great hole to go down! "The Question" is another great song with a beautiful video to go with it! Some would say beautifully disturbing but it's for you to decide
Hey Polo, now that you’ve heard this song, if you want to get extra blown away, look up “Eduarda Henklein Toxicity,” this little girl played this song on the drums when she was 5 (!!!)
It's a real blast watching you experience all these fantastic bands in such a short amount of time. I lived through your journey starting as a teen in the 80's. I listened to college radio in NJ through the 80's and 90's and they always got access to the newest stuff before the mainstream stations. It was fun being on the leading edge.
I LOVED the fact that you mentioned the drummer! I saw a few of the reactions and nobody mentioned it! Lol. I thought I was overreacting. That drummer is NASTY! Probably one of the best drummers I've heard lately.
Interesting harmonising and despite their complex time signatures, they did stick to a basic tempo for the majority of the track making it organised and well done. The vocals, I’ll have to grow into. 🙂 Never heard them before but definitely worth listening to more from them. PS: I listened a couple more times. Great song.
See, I don't hear any complex time signatures. It's a modulation between 4/4 and 3/4 between the elements. Clever yes, but complex, not so much. It's cool how we all hear things differently tho, I think it's half of why we watch reaction videos haha
@@jbrassic5434 A couple listens and it sits way better. The vocals and music make perfect sense and is cohesive. They have an original sound ‘from my ears’.
POLO, another AWESOME reaction man😳🤪👍😎. Been waiting for this one😏. I know that this one is DEFINITELY going on the *"4Runner Playlist!!"* As you stated yourself, be careful, this Amazing song COULD get you a Speeding ticket 🚔🛣️. Especially around the 4 min mark in this video 🔥🙂
Dude this song came out when I was regularly driving a chemical spray truck with 1300 gallons of death juice - and we would just HAMMER IT on the highway, windows down, shitty speakers all the way up. The early 2000's was bloody awesome.
If you like System of a Down, you should check out the lead singers solo band. Namely Serj Tankian - Empty Walls - Elect The Dead Symphony. It was made with an orchestra and is just amazing.
No idea if I'm repeating myself here, but I saw them live two days in a row once. Once in a nearby city with a friend in the stands, and then scalped a ticket the 2nd day by myself and the reader thing wouldn't work. I got scammed. Made up some story, no doubt the guy could tell I just got scammed but pretended to believe me and let me in. Floors in my hometown. Was so dope.
Honestly even some of their ok stuff is still good lol and even them solo is good lol it’s just different levels. You really want mind blown check out the video the lead singer Serge did with that lady cello player.
That's what's up! I loved watching this music video on MTV and VH1 back in the day. Lol. Damn I'm dating myself..... Does that mean it's getting played in the 4Runner?
It's crazy that there are people who grew up in the 90s or 00s that never heard bands like Soad on the radio or mtv at all There are so many bands i want to recommend bro.... idek Lamb of god?
This song has a lot of influence from Armenian folk music because that’s their ethnic and cultural background, so you can hear a lot of folk melodies in their riffs. I wouldn’t even call it metal it’s more like heavy folk😅.
Personally, one of System's best songs is "Question!" It's a real show of the entire band's talents.
Yeah some of their songs like Question! and Holy Mountain don't get much spotlight compared to the usual suspects
Question is good but Toxicity and Aerials are like perfect.
"You, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder? Disorder"
One of my favorite lyrics of all time.
The way Serj pronounces “somewhere” in this song always has me mimicking him lmao
@@DeadweightAnbuSaaaamwaare 😊
SPIDERS is my favorite song in their catalog Serj is AMAZING
I always love the harmonizing between Serj and Darren
Absolutely. They have such a great flavor.
It's so subtle in this, absolutely beautiful.
Daron
Didn’t hear it in this track
It's only Serj singing on this track. But you're right. The songs where they either share lead vocals or harmonize are an amazing effect.
It's crazy how this song works. Throw in off beat time signatures, with unexpected vocal sonics, tasty drums and guitar riffs, put it all in a blender and serve up an epic metal smoothie!!
I think 💬🤔 that this one is going into the *"4Runner Playlist"* .... watch out for 🚔🛣️ POLO 😏😎
I like to say SOAD is beautifully chaotic ☺️ lol

The toxicity album is one of the best metal albums of that decade
Omg Yesss! System of a down! I love them as much as Tool! ❤
"those riffs are the reason why speeding tickets were invented" XDDDDDDDDDDD FR THO
He has great voice control.

Well boo hoo. My channel has been TOTALLY ERASED more than once, so join the crowd, and take a fuckin #.
I;ve literally got out of a speeding ticket once by telling the cop I was listening to this song
I can completely understand that
I used to have these guys listed as *bipolar metal* because the calm/aggro switchups are so characteristic lol. First time I saw Serj he came out with a top hat and a cane looking dapper af, showman to a T
" when I became the Sun I shone life into a man's heart "
The whole 1st album is wild. Their best by far.
🔥🔥🔥
I love "chop suey"!!! Serj and Darren have great harmonious vocals.
Check Nandi Bushell’s drum cover of this song. She’s a little girl and she absolutely kills it 💯 😄🙏🏼

You can never go wrong with their catalog! Absolutely one of my favorite groups that I still listen to constantly.
Seen them live 4 times! Awesome band!
Deer Dance is an absolute banger from that Album. I suggest Suite-Pea from their first album, it's insane.
2023, a humbled white man watching a humble ass black dude accurately summarize his high school angry hate music. Love it ❤
They are off the wall but right on point if that makes sense lol🤷♂️ Great hole to go down! "The Question" is another great song with a beautiful video to go with it! Some would say beautifully disturbing but it's for you to decide
Im so glad I grew up when bands like SOAD was the thing.
37 now and “Toxicity” is even more relevant now.
Hey Polo, now that you’ve heard this song, if you want to get extra blown away, look up “Eduarda Henklein Toxicity,” this little girl played this song on the drums when she was 5 (!!!)
🤓👍😎 They go hard!
Love this band! Two awesome reactions today…Radiohead and SOAD
this song is about how car companies were moving away from the rounded shape designs at the time.
There have been so many times Ive gotten chills listening to SOAD. Feel it on a soul level.
I’m a huge fan of SOAD so many amazing songs. Aerials, Needles, and Deer Dance some personal favs
The Toxicity album is just amazing.
Love SOAD, been getting back into Steal this Album, any song where they both sing is so melodic and incredible! Mr. Jack!
"Drummer's insane." 😅😂 yeah, in every sense of the word.
System is just built different. I have my favorites from them but i honestly cant say there is a song that i dont at least passively enjoy.
I love the drums in this song!
They are epic !!!
SOAD!! 🤘🏾

Deer dance is a banger
One of my favs 🎉
Great song... Let's not scare him off though
The stink face was very apt for this song 😂🎉
Amazing ❤😂
Love that you're listening to them! Made me a subscriber!
You're right, the drummer is insane?
Who else would wear a damn suit while playing drums ?
I see what u did there with the video title good sir 👊🏼had me clicking the vid to see which song it was 👊🏼👊🏼

Some of the best transitions in rock
THATS MY FAV SONG
😮😮😮😮 One of my favorite songs by them as well as in my workout playlist!! Love them! Get me amped 🖤👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿 and Chevelle
SOAD-Innervision🤘
I love this song so much 😍 it gets out so much anxiety, IMHO 😏💖🦋
System Of A Down is the first band I ever loved …. And I DID get pulled over once for speeding while listening to them lol
Watch a live concert video in Brazil or somewhere in South America. Watch lyric videos also. Just like Tool, they're better with the lyrics
SOAD are insane. Love them. A lot gets missed, though. Try Boom!
"Question!" or "Spiders" would be great for more SOAD reactions!
If you like System of a Down, you should check out the lead singers solo band. Namely Serj Tankian - Empty Walls - Elect The Dead Symphony. It was made with an orchestra and is just amazing.
Great reaction. I reckon you'll love their song 'Question', and the official video for it.
be sure to check out some live performances of the ones you know, whole other thing
Armenians rock! Now for something from the first album.🖐
Spiders or sugar
Holy Mountains, Aerials, B.Y.O.B. , the list can go for much longer
Polo just gets it.
Seeing them in Vegas in 3 weeks!!!
No idea if I'm repeating myself here, but I saw them live two days in a row once. Once in a nearby city with a friend in the stands, and then scalped a ticket the 2nd day by myself and the reader thing wouldn't work. I got scammed. Made up some story, no doubt the guy could tell I just got scammed but pretended to believe me and let me in. Floors in my hometown. Was so dope.
That family guy clip 🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope reaction. Check out “question” If you haven’t already.
Somewhere. Now. Disorder.
amazing wish i had money to support love your videos
I know this is left field but have you thought about doing a movie channel yet you're one of the reactors I'd love doing movies with too
Still got those sick 3 songs to chose from in my coffee donation a couple of weeks ago. Hope you get to hit those up. Was a 4 coffee dono :)
SOAD … Rick Ruben may be forgiven for his sins …because of this band …
Speeding tickets? You’d definitely have a good chance of getting one if you listened to their song Needles while driving!
More!!!!!!!!
I'm thinking... YOU BETTER be feeling it! This is fuckin SOAD!!!
Honestly even some of their ok stuff is still good lol and even them solo is good lol it’s just different levels. You really want mind blown check out the video the lead singer Serge did with that lady cello player.
You should watch SerjmTankians elect the dead show he has some wild moves and expressions in that show I love Lie Lie Lie
I can’t edit comments so Serj*
Welcome to metal, so many times to show you 😂
B.Y.O.B. and Holy Mountains are both great songs to react too. Spiders and Sugar are both great too.
SOAD questions, suggestions, a.t.w.a, spiders, deer dance top 5 questions is the best one to my opinion
SOADwere often lumped into Numetal, but are more accurately just Alternative Metal
This band is like tool in the sense they don’t have any bad songs. There are some strange songs but they aren’t bad
Mr Polo reacting to my top band?! Awesome
Serj played an exclusive gig in Auckland, New Zealand. I couldn't afford to attend unfortunately. Please check out "Gate 21"
Eating seeds is pass time activity.
That's what's up! I loved watching this music video on MTV and VH1 back in the day. Lol. Damn I'm dating myself.....
Does that mean it's getting played in the 4Runner?
GOTTA do 'SUGAR'. Just HAVE to. 🎯🍕
It's crazy that there are people who grew up in the 90s or 00s that never heard bands like Soad on the radio or mtv at all
There are so many bands i want to recommend bro.... idek
Lamb of god?
This song has a lot of influence from Armenian folk music because that’s their ethnic and cultural background, so you can hear a lot of folk melodies in their riffs. I wouldn’t even call it metal it’s more like heavy folk😅.
BYOB! Question! Spiders! Sugar!
Hypnotize next please
Epic group. But like everything brilliant, it doesn’t last. Too many brilliant ideas become an impassable wall.
