God, look at serj xD How cute. if he had continued singing like this, then there would have been no albums after toxicity. He would probably have lost his voice x)

0:11 you could hear all the emotion in that very expressive “sugar” that darron so longingly said into his high-quality mic

when you come down from a sugar rush

Honestly this sounds like a high school band trying to cover sugar while stoned. The ever so monotone 'Sugar'

1.25 speed brings you to the original tempo.

Love the work!

i love this version 😔

The guitar sounds amazing! I wish he kept that style for their self titled album and toxicity

This is back when John Dolmayan wasn't the drummer and Ontronik Khachaturian was part of the band. Both are great musicians.

tbh i like this better than the album version
