system of a down
Heard Toxicity then burned the CD
After getting passed the cacophony of some the songs I like the album. For philosophical reason I don't like their song science but I think Aerials is the best song followed toxicity and chop suey.

I love System of a Down. Chop Suey! is awesome, and I also like Aerials, Toxicity, ATWA, and Forest. Great group. I haven't heard any of their older stuff, though.
Has anyone heard the Legend of Zelda Theme cover that they did? They took the theme from the Legend of Zelda and put words to it. Here's a sample: "Link, he come to town, come to save the Princess Zelda, Ganon took her away and now the children don't play, but they will when Link saves the day" It's not heavy at all. It's actually quite bizarre. I recommend downloading it, but be warned: it will get horribly stuck in your head. ![]()

I think he's saying "The storming of poor June." I don't know what that means, but that's what it sounds like.

I saw SOAD last fall on the Pledge of Allegiance Tour. Those guys are awesome! My favorites are Sugar, Spiders, Toxicity, and Chop Suey. I can't get enough of 'em!

I just saw them again yesterday at Ozzfest. It was so cool to see 30,000 fans chanting along with every word of every song almost like zombies (oh yeah Rob Zombie was there, too. Also a great show).

I love SOAD...they're amazing. Their first CD had to be the best. Love every song on it. Has anyone seen their new video, "BOOM!". It's directed by Michael Moore. It's great!

I just found out that the Legend of Zelda song was not actually sung by System of a Down, but by another band. There apparantly was some mistake naming it or something on Napster...now everyone thinks it's by them.

System rocked when I first heard their self titled album, has anyone seen the Sugar video? My favorite song is Genocide. Toxicity wasn't as good as I'd hoped for, they still rock.
