SOAD

[White Raven Communist]

How many people here love this band. Whats your favorite song by them.

[Free Palestine]

I like them a lot. They're intense, unique and politically conscious. That's something seldom seen in the mainstream, and the ocassional Armenian/Middle Eastern flourishes are just fuckin' sick.

[FatFreeMilk]

I don't love them but I'm totally feeling that song BYOB . My friend told me it stood for Bring Your Own Beer :lol:

I like their old stuff more than the recent stuff though. Especially the Sugar song. I don't know if you guys would consider that old or not but it's still a bad ass song.

[guerillaunit]

There the best band out there in my opinion. I love the sound it's awesome. My favorite song is Deer Dance this song awesome.

[Anarcho-Communist]

Needles, Toxicity, Chop Suey are my favourites! :lol:

[Ater Sanguis]

Excellent band. My favorite song is "Prison Song"
Anyone else here extremely satisfied by the vast improvement in Daron's (Guitar) voice? Most notable in the new CD "Mezmerize"

When I first heard BYOB I though there was a female guest vocalist, then I realised it was Daron. :P

I thought they used female back up vocals for Daron, that would be awesome sounding :che:

[Anarcho-Communist]

I forgot to add the song Psycho! :lol:

[h&s]

If you like SOAD, you should download Richard Cheese's version of Chop Suey - its hilarious!

BYOB parties :rolleyes: ! But in this context it means Bring Your Own Bombs, obviously a bit sarcastic politicalities.

Anyway, my favorite song is Sugar, and Highway Song, but from the newest album I love every song intensly. Like Radio/TV, Revenga, and the whole thing.

[Clarksist]

I don't like the nu-metal, but at first I liked BYOB as the video and the song are very anti-capitalist.

Then in GuitarWorld there was an interview with Daron and he said something like, "I'm not an activist, I mean I drive a Hummer."

That really pissed me off that he had this position to motivate kids to fight the fucken system and he just didn't.

But they do have a funny song that goes something like:

"MY COCK IS MUCH BIGGER THAN YOURS!!!!!!"

[The Forum Idiot]

Personally I'm not really a big fan, but I love the song "Violent Pornography." The singles from Toxicity were ok, but a bit dull after a while.

[bolshevik butcher]

Im becoming quite a big fan, mezmorise is really good.

[Pawn Power]

All of Toxicity is pretty good.

[h&s]

Toxicity is their worst album. All the others are far better in my opinion.

That still does not make it a pretty good album, just not as good as their others.

[bolshevik butcher]

I think its the second best one, but its not quite up to mezmorise.

[Gust]

Wow, I think they suck.

[sbrevcom]

Wow, I think they suck.

Heh. I think I'll follow that up on this thread with: I think BYOB is one of the most energetic songs on Mesmerize...and the song "Violent Pornography" is just bizarre. :o

[The Grey Blur]

These guys are class/nuts, my favourites are

'Cigaro', 'Chop Suey' & 'B.Y.O.B'

'I HOPE YOUR STEPSON DOESN'T EAT THE FISH'

dont eat the fissssh

[Seven Stars]

I used to listen to them all the time and still do now and then. They sold out thou I am sad to say. The music is still good thou, the first album was the best. Mezmerize was good but not at good as the album "System of a Down." I think its a shame that they are on a major label, their music is more suited for an indie label.

[praxis1966]

At the risk of sounding trendy my favorite is Aerials, with Prison Song coming in a close second. It's unfortunate about Daron; Serg always struck me as something of a budding revolutionary and I had hoped the band would take an even harder turn to the left. Although, I guess one could argue he's SOAD's version of Brad Wilk.

[timbaly]

I saw them on Saturday Night Live yesterday and asked my sister who they were since the vocals sounded familiar. When she told me it was them I was surprised, I had not seen pictures of them since they released chop suey as a single.
