System of a Down
 

I love this band.

I forgot about them, but then i put in toxocoty and remembered their greatness, anyone else like them?

OMG, DUDE. What a coincidence. I love them. A lot of people dont like them because they are arab, but wtf, where is America going? Are we now racists or do we have prejudices against other ethnicities or/and religions. First CD is so political though. I love it! Especially P.L.U.C.K. for its lyrics. 2nd cd is best though. Thats toxicity, first is self titled!

What about Steal This Album?


EDIT - They are Armenian and all the better for it!

yes thats odd becasue i listened to them a lot about a year or so ago and a few days ago i just remebered them and started listening to them again. a very good band. my favorite cd by them is probably Toxicity, fav song is aerials or forest.

Yeah, they're a good band. My favorite songs are: Prison Song, Needles, Psycho, Sugar, and Jet Pilot. I didn't really like this band at first, but they grew on me.

same here. I didnt like them at first, I thought they were to heavy for me then I got into it and then I got into metal, lol. Black Metal though, death metal isnt as great I think. Yeah, Armenian, I knew that, but they arent all from Armenia, Jon is from Lebanon, an ex-french colony that is many arab. I just said arab because most people think of the middle east when I say that and Armenia is near Turkey, so... But yeah, none the less, ur right.

They are kinda goofy!

SOAD goofy? Hm, dont know what your relating too Nick, hehe.
My favorite songs are:
Temper, Metro, Starlit Eyes, Snowblind, Psycho, Highway Song, ATWA, P.L.U.C.K., Forest, Science, Streamline, Thetawaves, and War?. Well thats a lot of songs, but really, they rock it out and I love them. I like some others that are close to the same level of passion towards them, but my real favorites are Temper, Metro, Starlit Eyes, Snowblind, Psycho, Highway Song, P.L.U.C.K., and thats it. Those are my favorite favorite. Its hard to choose you know. Anyways, later.

Alot of people think they're "goofy" looking. I dont. They are serious musicians

Thumbs up, agreed.

I DONT THINK THEY LOOK GOOFY...BUT SOME OF THEIR SONGS ARE WEIRD... LIKE THE SONG CHIK N' STU. SOME OF THEIR TOPICS....ITS COOL THOUGH I STILL LIKE THEM.

Brilliant Band, I fell in love with "Chop Suey" and from there I just can't get enough of them. They are serious musicians and they will go far.

i love them.. they are great.. every time i hear them i wanna get in a pit and just run in circles... does anyone alse feel like that??

^ yup...mainly to chop suey

i saw the "steal this album" in the shops and it caught my eye, thought it was funny, ive now heard a few of their songs, not really my fav kinda music but there alright

i always do that... me and pimp used to put it on, then go play football and eff people up... ha ha

My favorite band, i downloaded some chop suey animation video thingy and i was hooked, favorite songs P.l.u.c.k chop suey toxicity highway song
almost all of them :jailed: poor smiley face man hes in jail for doing bad things to good people

I LOVE SYSTEM, cant wait 4 there new album 2 come out - Wooo, also lookin 4ward 2 them tourin - t'wud b amazin 2 them in the flesh n performin live!!!

I LOVE System Of A Down! By the way Thrice, it's Toxicty, not toxocoty!

HELL YEAH! System is one of the coolest and origional metal bands out there! Thier self-titled cd was the best, but Toxicity and Steal This Album kick ass! The best System song has to be Chop Suey!

Streamline and Chop Suey are hands down their best songs. Highway Song is a favorite of mine as well as Sugar. I don't agree with their politics, but they are a pretty cool batch of artist

I used to be a bit of a fan, but ever since they hit a major label with TOXICITY and everywhere I turned I saw some kids wearing their shirts and I heard them on EVERY station, they got annoying.
I guess too much of just one thing will ruin it for you.

System of Down are extremely wondeful, because noone else plays their kind of music... And there are still noone that has been able to play it better than them...

actually always hated them, but guess it was just because everyone listened to them.. now I have changed my mind..

THEY TOTALLY ROCK!!

^ uhh, there are a lot of bands that play the same kind of music as system of a down. in all seriousness, after all these years, nothing is completely new, everything's pretty much been done before, so you can't really say that one band is the only one who's playing a certain type of music.

atwa, science, and pretty much all of toxicity rocks

i got into this band a while ago. i bought their first album for $17 and the second was only $20. then they played at a festival here-which was awsome. great set- and toxicity went up to $40. how stupid is that.
best songs are sugar, soil, war?, deer dance, and forest i think. i didnt really get into steal this.

System
 

Anyone heard the new System Track "Cigaro." Some RI station jacked it and they play it alot since its requested ad neauseum. I wonder if system will be around in 20 years because thye make great music.

:pimp:

^i heard it and it sounded pretty good.

i would like to hear it i haven't heard it yet but i'm sure it's got to be good

um, just click on the link i posted ^up there^ and you can hear it.

I like it. Very system, but new. Ha ok that made no sense really..

I heard it on a local radio station, but forgot what it sounded like. Thanks for refreshing my memory. That songs awesome... I love their style and cant wait till their next cd.

sounds better than "Steal this Album"... more like their first. which is a plus.

I think they suck bad just another nu metal band.

^Actually they dont sound like any of those other stupid nu metal bands that cant think of any lyrics so they scream everything. SOAD's lyrics actually have meaning, and they're original...

well is dislike nu metal everyway and system is really no excpetion but to each his own i guess.

yeah, well i guess...but all im trying to put on the table is that they are talented in a lot of ways, and it's somewhat hard to find that originalty and talent in Hard Rock/Metal music these days.

True ture half the bands today cant sing or play very well and are getting bye cause the lead singers cute.

Keep in mind, Misfit spunk was the same guy who said Punk had nothing to do with passion. And if he's lumping system in with nu-metal, he's clearly never heard them, or is mistaking them for someone else.

Honestly, its not opinion at that point. Draw the obvious connections between system of a down and three days grace, disturbed, korn, or limp bizkit.
