SOAD are musical geniuses in my opinion. Some of the coolest and most creative songs and music videos.

Amen👍
Sugar, BYOB, Prison Song, Aerials, Chop Suey, Spiders. SOAD are fully goated. Serj is a classically trained opera singer. These guys were epic to see LIVE. 🐐🐐🐐🐐

Serj is not classically trained, i don’t know where that rumor was started.

My current husband made me a mix CD with Chop Suey & Prison Song on it to play in my car on my way to work as an Ohio Correctional Officer to help boost my aggression level as needed. I am usually just a Zep head, but some days needed the bigger attitude booster that SOD supplied.

@@Maxwellish In that case- Serj started the 'rumour'. So- pretty sure you should talk to HIM about it. I'm somehow finding myself taking his word over yours. Call me crazy..!? FOH 🎯 🤡🌎_😑 🤔🤨_😏💀

Serj is not classically trained in opera, he's just really good at singing.
Love this Band so hard. They are of Armenian descent, very political, and Serj's vocals........no words.
I love watching a true first reaction and you did not disappoint! You guys would also like "Chop Suey" and "B.Y.O.B by System of a Down.
My reaction was the same as yours. Blown away! System of a Down is so unique. Beautiful melodies and heavy metal mixed together in the same song. Great music and voices. Dive in deeper to their music please.
System of a Down gets some of the best reactions I've ever seen... please keep going on the SOAD journey! You won't be sorry. Chop Suey, BYOB, Aerials, Sugar, Lonely Day, Spiders, Question! just to name a few. I will be glued to your channel on the lookout for more. Love your channel, guys!
Man in the middle matches my head movements 😂😂😂😂🤘🏽

It's involuntary!!
The whole album is amazing. I normally don't listen to music this heavy, but when everything sounds like perfection, I love it.
This was the first album I'd ever bought with my own money. In a Hot Topic at a mall in San Diego in middle school. What a great first album.
BYOB and Chop Suey should be next by them
SOAD Look for War, Sugar, and…. Well the entire Toxicity album is gold

Question by System of a Down another fire song
System of a Down...always excellent music.....masters of tempo change 😁
one of the best hype rock songs. If you're even in need of some energy this song hits.
Their music is such a ride!! Every time it's a whole vibe ride lol.
👍👍👍 More SOAD please
Love this band. Love watching you guys discover them. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I don't see a lot of people react to "Holy Mountain", and I would love to see you all react to it. It would be good to look up the meaning of the song as well so you know what it's all about. It's one of my favorites!
You gotta do Chop Suey next. Serious fast vocal flow on that one!
What energy they have. Wow 😮
Man, my dude in the middle was so into it
I really enjoy watching you guys. Love for you to do some more grunge. Pearl Jam, Black MTV unplugged. Also Chris Cornell, Soundgarden (Outshined, Spoonman, Fell on black days, Burden in my hand), Audioslave (Show me how to live or Cochise) or Temple of the Dog, I am the highway. Alice in chains, Would or Rooster.

Totally agree!
strap down and enjoy when soad fires up your about to go on a wild ride the underlying meanings in these songs are off the charts
Never thought I'd like this group, but a friend had an extra ticket to their concert and I went. I've been a fan ever since. Great review fellas. I hope you review a couple more of their hits.
Great, great reaction guys! Brought me right back to the first time I heard this song! This is the first of your reactions I have seen and I subscribed because I wanna see you guys react to more SOAD! You've only briefly been introduced to the world of the System... Would love to see you go deeper down the rabbit hole! Songs like: Sugar, BYOB, Chop Suey, Question!, Suggestions, Prison Song, Holy Mountains are just a few of my personal favorites. You guys are sure to be blown away by each and every one...such a unique and phenomenal band ❤
System of a down is one of my all-time favorite rock bands. These guys are brilliant! I was born in January 19 70 so I have experience with a lot of rock songs over decades, and this band is bad ass
I am lovin how much you're diggin this!
I love how yall just unanimously headbobbing in the beginning. Love it.
LUV you guys!!!!!!!❣❣❣
Seeing your smile makes me smile as well, it's hard not to become a SOAD fan after hearing this incredible song :D Serj Tankian has a voice that's borned once a century I feel.
Watching SoaD play Spiders on Conan on 98 was magical they have not only a voice, but so many things to say
First time viewer. You hooked me with Black Sheep right away. Haven't heard that in years.
Corey rockin' out! Awesome!
Amazing band. And this song is so catchy. I recalled my teen ages😎
you three are awesome! Your authentic happiness makes me happy . Much love to you guys!

My favorite rock band
I Love this Format, it's cool.
Instantly became Corey Roy's fan haha he feels it, he knows :D
You gave me JOY Corey! One thing to know about them .. have to read a lyric summary or interpretation beforehand because they can be very Tool-like in how deep the song meaning can be
I been on stage with these dudes. I love em
Love the DX shirt too
raw and true, damn good music 💥🌹👏🌹 🙏 🌹💖🌹💥
Another banger guys!
love this band , epic dudes
DISORDER, between your sacred silence and sleep! Say NO!
You guys really need to check some Rammstein songs like the live in Paris of "du hast", the clip of "Deutchland" and many more..
Please give Aerials a reaction next
I like your reactions best for 2 reasons: you play the whole song without stopping, and you don't fake it if it's a song you know. Other bands you might want to check out (I had a quick look on your channel but didn't see any of these, apologies if you have already been there) are The Ramones (Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna be Sedated, the KKK took my baby away, to name a few of many) Green Day (Basket Case, American Idiot, Longview, too many good tunes to mention) The Interrupters (She's Kerosene, Take Back the Power, Alien) Dead Kennedies
system of a down really picks my system up
As many others have said, BYOB (Bring Your Own Bomb) and The Prison Song. You will love both, trust me.
What a trip with this reaction 😂
Oh yes ❤🔥🔥🔥
Question. Seriously.. if you wanna do another SOAD.. do Questions. I swear! Love you guys.
That's how it is with this group, you have to always expect the unexpected, they will keep you on your toes the whole length of the track, i would definitely suggest next the track Chop Suey, check it out.
Yeah these guys are SOAD: SOD was Stormtroopers of Death, which included members of Anthrax and was fronted by Billy Milano. The 90s nu-metal movement was quite incredible. SOAD and Deftones were my favorite.
More of System
Lead singer, Serj, has a track with Tech9 called “Straight Out The Gate” that’s 100% worth your time.
First time watching. You guys are great. Subscribed. Try Otep Fists Fall. It's a female singer and the song is great and set in a fight club setting male vs female
Solid picks: aerials, prison song, deer dance, psycho
You felt it!! You felt the System! Wonderful to see :) I'd suggest BYOB (not what you may think) as your next stop on the System train...
They have so many good songs! My favorite is BYOB.
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Engine engine number 9 On the NY transit line If that train falls off the track Pick it up pick it up pick it up! First time seeing yall, loved middle guys energy. He was feeling it for real lol Who's a black sheep? I'm a black sheep@
BYOB, Aerials, Chop suey are the most popular from SOAD. And a suggestion: 'Pisces Live Session'. That kinda rhymes even :)
I assumed you guys would hate this. CLUTCH "Prophets of Doom"
You guys need to get back to SOAD. They have a bunch of great songs! Chop Suey, Aerials, BYOB, Sad Statue, Deer Dance, Question, Sugar, Spiders, just to name a few lol
System of “A” down.
Hahaha... Its like wondering why N.W.A didn't got so high on the charts 100. 😁 I'm sorry, I'm not making fun of you. (silly that I have to mention that, lol) no... I actually love your reactions to different music styles... It's my playlist for today😅 Thank you guys... From Belgium with love Pat
you should do Forest by them next ....
Y'all gotta go down the rabbit hole on this one. Obviously you can't react to all of them, but if you got personal time to do it, it's a horizon expanding expedition. Start with Chop Suey. Then: Spiders Aerials Forest Atwa Deer Dance Innervision Mr. Jack Highway Song Ego Brain Roulette Streamline Soldier Side intro BYOB Revenga Radio/Video Question! Lost In Hollywood Hypnotize Holy Mountains Lonely Day Soldier Side
ohhh yes I suggest Chop Suey for their next song!
cool now good luck playing that song live lol
Ice Nine Kills - Farewell II Flesh
Hahaha CoreyRoy yeah, that's "disorder" I think.
You guys would love Aerials. SOAD is really dope. It's funny cuz a lot of friends that don't particularly enjoy rock music, end up really liking SOAD. if you guys give it another try, I bet you'd think they're FIRE. hahah
SOAD was ruling the musical world 20 years ago. Its hard to believe that some guys who look as old as I am (53) are just hearing this in 2023. Hell Im a white guy who knew who Cab Calloway was in the 80's.
if you're open to more SoaD, I would also suggest to listen to chop suey and BYOB. for BYOB I also suggest to open the lyrics or turn them on in the video. some of the greatest lyrics! espacially if you look up when and why this was written!
Aerials
They’re good friends with Wu Tang they’ve done a few things with them.
As a Russian Armenian, I agree, I was shocked too when I first heard of System and found out they were Armenian. One of my Mexican friends was singing a System song and I was like, that sounds sick! Wtf is that? He's like System, an Armenian band, I was like, really? lol But yeah, many talented Armenians for sure, I knew and still know many. We have our good and bad, but our good over trumps our bad. Just like with most countries. 🙏🙏🙏
Great video. There's a song from SOAD with Wu-tang Clan (actually Rza), a remake of "Shame", go hear it, pls.
Almost all of theor songs are commentary on politics, culture, The Armenian genocide, equality and the list goes on. Seriously Tankien, the lead singer does guest vocal with artists of all genres. One of which is Tech9, called "Straight Out The Gate". Banger of a track.
Check out "War?"
Bro, the System of a Down rabbit hole is a fun one. Enjoy.
byob!!
So many.. go Chop Suey next
B Y O B
Have y’all reacted to any Rage of the Machine yet?
In my opinion no one does switch ups beter
Chop Suey plzzzzz
Nice reaction you should check out a freestyle rapper called Harry mack if you haven't all ready he will blow your mind's

@@wheatthicks sounds like an awesome show! I saw them in Baltimore Maryland at a free concert they did with another band named Cold. It was a weird show because a bunch of heroine junkies showed up and were nodding out in the crowd.
Also What’s cool about this song they didn’t switch tempos

i second people saying sugar and b.o.b. and prison song
If u read most of their lyrics it’s all about injustice and anti government
You can definitely hear the Armenian folk influence in this song.
They actually got black-balled off a lot of radio stations since the Bush administration specificly told radio stations not to play them.
