system of a down

afro-elf · 03-06-2002, 07:24 PM

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 liked thier first cd better.
the second was too publisiced for me. as soon as i saw it being pushed like that, it kind of lost it's glitter.

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.

Tar-Elendil · 05-26-2002, 11:58 PM

Yes! I have heard it and downloaded it yesterday!

i cant stop singin the first part "link he come to town,come to save the princess zelda"
i think you should download "spiders", thats a good one

Tar-Elendil · 05-29-2002, 01:43 AM

i was just listening tot he system of a down song "spiders"..at the beginning right after the words "the piercing radient moon"..it sounds almost exactly like "the storming of barad-dur"
i cant find the lyrics..any s.o.a.d. fans that can tell me what theyre saying?

***Khamûl*** · 05-30-2002, 01:35 AM

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!

Tar-Elendil · 06-01-2002, 04:27 PM

spiders, prison song, and chop suey have to be my 3 fav songs ever

LoRdSCypher · 08-10-2002, 12:10 AM

I love every song on their second cd. has anyone ever heard metro? that's a cool song.

katya · 08-10-2002, 11:50 AM

i love system of a down. i have toxicity and it is awesome. i like aerials and shimmy is really really growing on me. but the best song i have heard so far is sugar. it is awesome. it's like, "sugar!" which i can't quite imitate here. i live the legend of zelda too i will look for the song. my friend saw soad twice. he said they were awesome. i envy him...

Treebeard's apprentice · 08-12-2002, 08:25 PM

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).

gimli7410 · 03-26-2003, 12:58 AM

i love system of a down. serj is the best singer and i can recite every lyric in every song. i have all their cds including all the band members covers for steal this album. my favourite song is suggestions fromm their first album

FoolofaTook · 03-27-2003, 07:33 PM

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!

gimli7410 · 03-27-2003, 09:59 PM

ya ive seen it. serj looks cool without his moustache but i think he looks cooler with it.

FoolofaTook · 03-28-2003, 04:55 PM

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.

frodosgirlfriend · 03-30-2003, 10:18 PM

I love em, but my mom has just decided i'm not aloud to listen to them

gimli7410 · 03-30-2003, 10:32 PM

that sucks FGF. why dont you burn cds of them and listen to it on a discman.

Lady Tinuveil · 03-31-2003, 05:28 AM

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.
