Daron is one of THE MOST underrated guitar players ever. He shows you don't have to be complex to be good. Daron himself said he wasn't ever interested in shredding "I solo more melodically, I never wanted to play like them" his words exactly and by them he means players such as bucket head, Van Halen etc. but he loves them.

Daron is a fucking God, Screw the haters

its not technical skill, its creativity and stage presence. he knows how to write a good song and it doesn't need a 40 minute technical shredding solo, he isnt afraid to improvise and play things the way he wants and the entire band is eccentric as hell, so it fits the need in the band. he has a vibe, he knows his audience and his limitations and he used his talent where he can and his showmanship where it peaks. and drugs. he is on so many drugs its amazing he can stand up. his album work shows his skill more than live shows but live shows how a man that is 40 percent LSD by weight, who cannot even remember his name or pinpoint where he is in relation to the earth can still feel a groove and ride it. that alone is impressive in a way. this is more a combination of style and knowing what notes are crucial to set a mood, than it is just being technical and precise. this whole band is about making you think and feel, stirring up emotions and yes, also drugs again, but SOAD fans dont want a mechanically accurate scale recital and the same 4 chords the pop charts have told you to expect, they want trippy weird and creative, no fear and fuck it sort of experience and Daron has mastered that expectation. hell, Eddie VanHalen had some sloppy notes in some of his insane solos and people love him too, because he was different and crazy and didnt give a fuck...this is me, this is not the shit you are used to, this is new and passionate and i am not afraid to squeak a note for the sake of holding back this thing that i need to let out. love it or hate it...here it is. same basic idea, different generation, both awesome, and i respect that. there are times when i just wanna zone out and be somewhere else and SOAD takes you somewhere, blurrs the world and throws the rules to the wind. its therapeutic for some, and those who embrace that kind of music and can create it consistently and never give into the mass stereotypes are rare and therefore cherished when they pop up. its not for everyone, but it is unique, and its hard to be unique anymore.

Fuck, dude, your comment is fucking amazing! I feel the same, I don’t understand these nerds saying “Boo Boo Boo, he’a not a great guitarist boo boo boo his technic is bad, his riffs are simple bla bla”. Go fuck yourselves and listen to some Protest the hero or some shit and don’t forget to fuck yourselves. SOAD, and Daron specifically, are different, they were something new and unique, try to find something similar or even close to SOAD’s music, good luck. And the fact is most of the music is written by Daron. Thanks to their Armenian roots and culture the music sounds extravagant and unique, refreshing. In terms of technic Daron doesn’t give a fuck, so do we - fans.

He was the reason why I started playing the guitar. I really appreciate Daron a lot.

After seeing the shit show of comments, I have to say. Daron is one of those guitarists who doesn't give a flying fuck about anything. Even if the playing isn't perfect, he infuses his playing with his personality and heart. That's exactly why I love this dude with his work. So to the people saying "distortion is a way to play shit and still sound good" bull, you clearly haven't heard Daron himself play without distortion. It's fuckin mesmerizing in a way.

DARON is an artist over all. And as a painter he created autentic music and use his guitar as a medium of that expresión. And we love that real art expresión that is more powerfull than a perfect copy or robotic ejecution. Just People with a good taste and creativity can understand This.

Honestly I think Daron's greatest asset as an artist is his knowledge of his own limits. I feel like the reason his guitar solos work, even though they aren't flashy, is you know he *always* knows what he's going to do next so he always sticks the landing.

I agree dude. At first i wanna cringe because i know how fucking high he is on stage, i’m scared he fucks up. But then i think again it’s his music, his solo’s. Let the Artist do his thing - he nails it every time.

Its not about being perfect..its about having fun..I have been to 4 system shows. They were the greatest days of my life. The entertainment was top quality and you could tell THEY WERE HAVING FUN! They can play their instruments how they want. Music is an art form and art can come in many forms. Why not do it your way? High as fuck..on acid..or whatever Daron is doing to make his eyes pop out like that. Fun fact: Daron was locked in a basement a couple of times because he acted up at school.

And this is why SOAD is so unique in their own way. Simple riffs and catchy songs

You guys are some haters. They're one of the most successful bands of all time and all you can say is how shit Daron is at playing guitar. All their songs are great. You don't need to be complex to be a good guitar player.

I read all these comments about him being a shit guitarist. sure. his skills are probably (way over)matched by many other legends, but you cannot argue about his originality and being able to pull off stuff like this(especially while being high as a kite). I dont think he deserves all this hate. Not EVERYTHING has to be super-advanced to sound good. Love his riffs and voice!

The graph at the end shows the problem SOAD has. Daron writes everything (mostly) alone so Serj is right. This fucking band is becoming Daron’s solo band
