Brings me back. System of a Down I feel were my gateway drug to extreme metal. I come back to them for their inventive combination of intensity with groove. I remember the first time I heard B.Y.O.B it didn't sound like any heavy song I'd ever heard before (which, really, at that point it was whatever my dad had been playing like Metallica, Megadeth, White Zombie etc). It just felt so oddly like a dance song dressed up as a metal song: a political message dressed up like a court jester.

I had a period about 4-5 years ago, when I was obsessed with SOAD, during that time I listened to them almost exclusively, I think you sparked that passion again, after watching the video, I suddenly feel the urge to listen to SOAD!

The way I see system of a down is, they try to paint a whole picture with a song by having everything in there. It's both simultaneously all over the place but comes together. It's like yin and yang, you have peace and chaos and they're both perfectly balanced into this music. It's like getting several unique perspectives that form 1 idea.

I hope any of the System guys sees this. It explains perfectly what makes them a fucking great band. I could only hope it would inspire them to get together, put aside whatever differences they have had in the past, and create one more album

As an Armenian, growing up, their music influenced my taste in... pretty much everything. Also to this day I can't listen to Holy Mountains without tearing up and feeling excruciating pain. Fantastic video man, thank you for covering this truly one of a kind band!

I'm more of a classic rock, british post punk and grunge listener but this band always caught my attention and was very intriguing. Nice job on your analysis. Thxu

As a diehard SOAD fan I will say this guy really gave a good in depth analysis and was on point.

If you see this, though: A Dillinger Escape Plan episode would be unreal. I feel there's so much to mine from their chaotic, bizarre, yet distinctly recognizable personality. Theory-wise I've never seen anybody take them on and I'd be interested to see what's under the hood from a more theoretically-inclined brain.

Anyone who thinks that Slipknot is just a mask gimmick hasn't listened to their music. You have 9 guys on stage playing their ass off and it's some sort or organized insanity. On top of that, most of the people on stage are very good at what they play. Joey was a amazing on drums, both Mick and James are insanely talented guitarists, Corey is a vocalist on another level than most other vocalists. Paul was in my opinion not an amazing bassist, but a good writer. Some of the guys I just don't know enough to make a statement on.

i never realized till i watched this video but when ever i sing along to songs i mess around like serj does, i always sing songs in weird and unusual ways and i think listening to so much soad when i was younger is the reason

Wow. I was looking for a video that would analyze SOAD's eastern influences, because that intrigues me. You not only provided that analysis, but so much more, exceeding my expectations. Nobody else provides this kind of depth in analyzing music artists. Thank you so much.

Wow. I don't know how you manage to make each video in this series unique compared to the previous one. I think the call to go for more of a broader perspective instead of getting bogged down in the theory was the best choice you could've made to properly express what SOAD is all about. Seriously, these videos are the highlight of my month and I hope you keep going with them. I always make sure to recommend a couple bands as well so here we go: Periphery, 30 Seconds to Mars, King Crimson, Animals As Leaders, Polyphia, Avenged Sevenfold, Dream Theatre, Killswitch Engage, Pink Floyd, The Police, Primus, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Rage against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rush and Steely Dan. Seriously, anyone of those would be amazing.

Great video about my favorite band, but I have to point out that at 6:52, it's Daron saying "Sugar". Love your stuff, and would love to see a Sum 41 episode, if you already mentioned them :D

only one minute through the video and I immediately hit like.it is so authentic to break down the characteristics of their songs like this

Yet another episode filled with dope analysis and thought provoking ideas, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I would love to see one on The Cure or Depeche Mode in the future!

But, I’m all seriousness, I think an episode on either The Mars Volta or King Crimson would be very rewarding.

Really enjoying seeing you continue to do, and support this series. I am excited and hopeful for more; especially hope you'd consider doing an episode on *BLIND GUARDIAN*.

I don't know much about Armenian history or the culture, but Arto was one of the coolest things I heard from SOAD. Very well constructed. And the sound painted a picture. Love these guys. Thanks for the video! Edit: Wish you would have mentioned Lost In Hollywood. Both Serj and Daron's vocals together on that track in particular are chilling to me. And I've heard 3 live versions that sounded completely different while still maintaining those chills. Sidenote: Wish they'd figure stuff out. Those 2 together are one of my favorite teams in metal. Their vocals are perfect together.

I'd like to hear an analysis of how the band Fun. writes music. Very post-genre and a lot of dynamics and movement/instrumentation.

this was good man, really appreciate system of a down as a force. I listened to " the secret power music holds over you", another youtube video a while ago, which confirmed ideas of how I use listening to music. I instated in myself an idea of prioritizing humility, coupled with non idolatry, which kept me from "getting to know creators." This made for a pleasant experience of you portraying some individualism of band members. Great video

Loving these videos! Huge SOAD fan and this gives me great perspective on my own creative process!

Oh man this would be amazing. I was watching Rick Beato's channel recently and he was talking about the suspended 6th chord in Easier to Run. It's what gives it that isolated, yet standing still feeling and is a very unusual chord. The only other song I know of with a similar feeling chord is Bulletproof ... I Wish I Was by Radiohead, and technically that's a dominant 6th. I get the feeling there's more going on in their music than I'm aware of, yet 13 year old me listened to their first couple albums on repeat.

Another interesting thing with System of a Down music is that the beginning of every song, just a few seconds, tell the entire story of the song. Those few seconds show the musical transition expected within the song. Also, 3 minute song of System of a Down feels like a 6 minute song, since so much is going on.

Nice work. KZread suggested your videos out of the blue, and I watched your Muse and Radiohead clips yesterday and now this, fresh from the oven. Since you've now broken in to the heavy stuff, I'd suggest keeping heavy with Rammstein or switching direction slightly by doing Nightwish. Rammstein might be more recognizable for the masses, but I hear Nightwish is gaining some name in the US nowadays too. I'd be very pleased to hear you analyze any part of music from either of them. I tried to make sure you haven't already covered them, I'm sorry if you already have!

The video i didnt know i was waiting for. Perfect timing too as my lifelong obsession with this band was recently reignited
