My personal opinion is that this isn't absurd at all. The original song has exactly the perfect type of vocal to fit with SOAD's style. Regardless, it's epic af.
If somebody showed me this without me knowing the source and told me it was some unreleased SOAD cover song, I would 100% believe it. Your Serj impression is so fucking spot on.
This is a very bold claim. My mom grew up in Miami when the B-52s were just becoming a popular band, she absolutely loves them and instilled the love of their music into my siblings and myself. It's always good to hear that some people have great taste in music, happy holidays.
What the fuck, I came in here expecting a silly parody and this was genuinely great. You nailed the sound of my favorite band, all the way down to the freakin’ Serj and Daron harmonizing.
I knew what this would sound like when I clicked on it and you somehow made it sound even more like SOAD than even SOAD can. You're a menace to society and I'm calling the cops.
SOAD is my most favorite band ever. You fucking turn their music into something more amazing than I would think possible. We want an entire album. Fuckingamazing!!! FUCKING AMAZING!
Never heard Rock Lobster but this just genuinely sounds like something SOAD would write! Also played and sing so well if someone randomly played this to me I'd honestly have believed this was SOAD! This is unbelievably good!!
My exact thoughts. I've never heard rock lobster either but this was just Serj with dark eye shadow coming close to the camera with his distinct facial expressions 😂
I actually like a lot the song Rock Lobster and now that you made this version, I can't believe that you made it sound so much better. You never disappoint me, this is too damn cool, bro. Greetings from Mexico
What we've learned through the last couple years of fanship, nothing you do is cursed 😂😭 you are a once in a generation musician that just picks up whatever he can and makes magic with it.
System of the down was my first band to fall in love with as a youth. When I read somebody was trying to recreate their sound, I thought it couldn't be done, but holy s***, Thank you for making me fall back in love with why I love system of a down. It's been years since I've listened to them and you're spot on recreation of a "cover" floored me and has me wanting more!
You’re the most talented person I’ve seen in my life !!!! To play the instruments, and to sing in different tones and as different singers , to video recording ur videos, your the sht bro!! Mad props!!!
The fact that you're doing all this from your barracks room is seriously impressive, brother. If you're not already, look into music production and put that GI bill to use! You've got serious talent for getting into the head space of the artist and pumping these out. You've found your calling.
Nailed it…so good! Vocals are spot on. Would you please describe your vocal chain starting w you mic all the way through the plugins? Thanks and keep ‘em coming! How about if Primus made Summer of ‘69!
Your recommendation gave me an idea. Disturbed does “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)”. In the style of “Remember” chorus: Eeeeeeeeeeverythinnnnng I do, I do it for you, do it for you.
I would pay good money to watch SOAD cover this song live with you making a guest appearance on stage performing with them. This is one of those songs where the cover beccomes better than the original. lol
SOAD would be proud of you ♥ Serj would tip his hat to you Sir. I subscribed after finding this, Thank you Facebook for bringing this to me man. ROCK LOBSTER!!!!! ❤🔥🤟
This has been part of my playlist and listen in my car every day or two the last few months since I discovered it. Holy shit! Love your work, dude. This and Ariels by Incubus are my favorites. I will always listen to those two and for the rest of my life. They are gold.
You are underrated my dude. Thats no bueno. Your vocals are spot fucking on as the duo. Really impressive to listen to what goofy shit you filter through their sound.
omg, the chorus! You are the one who has the best sense of getting the song catchy of the "If X wrote Y"-channels. Almost getting better/more skillful for each video!
B-52s is basically surf rock SOAD-- rapid tempo changes, constant harmony, nonsense lyrics, ... animal noises ... Now we need you to do "if the B-52s wrote Chop Suey"
If it had a verse about the military industrial complex I would believe that this was a SOAD song.
A verse or just off-tempo ramblings about the Iraqi war would be peak Toxicity-ers SOAD
The lobster is symbolic
Iraq Lobster!
Only if a rock lobster can be weaponized! 😏
Very good
All it needs is Serj randomly hitting a high note and its perfect
And "Daron" singing about his cock
I thought for sure he would do it at “everybody had matching towels!”
@disturbedpyro4511 his voice would explode hitting that note set.
@@scottwilliams3665 😂😂
or a suite-pee style deepthroat-the-mic scream
this is such an absurd prompt and you still pulled it off perfectly
Thank you very very much my dude 🤘
@@macglocky no problem dude! love ur videos

Yeah I was going to say, this is a perfect system of a down song. Solid fucking cover dude.
Or mash up
If somebody showed me this without me knowing the source and told me it was some unreleased SOAD cover song, I would 100% believe it. Your Serj impression is so fucking spot on.
Can go ya one better lol, check out the knights of cydonia soad mashup by andre antunes. Practically indistinguishable from serj

SOAD always had a sense of humor in their albums amongst the heavier songs. This totally fits, nicely done!
Serj especially did in his solo albums
Bounce from Toxicity, I rest my case
I am THE biggest B-52s fan and also a System of a Down fan. I would have never imagined this version. Very well done!
This is a very bold claim. My mom grew up in Miami when the B-52s were just becoming a popular band, she absolutely loves them and instilled the love of their music into my siblings and myself.
It's always good to hear that some people have great taste in music, happy holidays.
Lol, well, I can't compete with that. I'm happy being the second biggest fan.@@abucket14
Check out the band dead horse, they do a kick ass version of rock lobster
Look up B-69's Chop Suey.... for real.
I have. I love it! @@rshinra
"There's no way this isn't cursed", this is literally my favorite cover you've ever done, I keep going back to it and listening xD
this is so accurate
I never knew I needed System of a Down playing Rock Lobster until now. Excellent work!
We need a switcheroo... What if Deftones wrote Chop Suey and SOAD wrote Be Quiet and Drive
Oh boy I actually love this idea.
@@alecbenner9118 That would be incredible
Fantastic
Me personally I want to see a Deftones aerials cover
and performing like the bands are dueling
What about Zombie by The Cranberries in style of SOAD, it's totally up their alley on calling out the military industrial complex
this would be fucking sick
KoЯn
It's scary how good this is even the bridge sounds like SOAD, killed it
The seamless transition to 6/8, that's so SOAD. Love it, you're extremely talented.
I'd love to have this on spotify and the Mr. Brightside one as well. Great work!!!
Most underrated comment on the internet
Omg yesss😂
And within the first 10 seconds, you are thinking wait a sec...
Did they?
How does this go so fucking hard, you might be a genius
"Might"? 😯
Believe it or not, my 2 favorite bands in the world are SOAD and the B-52s. So this...
made me really happy
This is an absolute delight. A+ content that put such a smile on my face. Silly as hell, but that guitarwork is phenomenal.
dude frrr!!!
The way you whispered “but it wasn’t a rock” absolute gold dude! Keep up the solid work!
What the fuck, I came in here expecting a silly parody and this was genuinely great. You nailed the sound of my favorite band, all the way down to the freakin’ Serj and Daron harmonizing.
Ive listened to this back to back for the last 20 minutes .. how does this work so good? Buddy you slayed this mix 👏 bravo 👏
I know the feeling,i just lettin it play over n over
This is the first video of yours that I've seen but WOW you do an incredible job capturing Serj's unique vocal style! Super impressive!!
Go check out his SOAD Mr bright side it’s even better
I am in love with you yelling "Rock Lobster". I'll be doing it that time everytime I hear the original song from now on.
I knew what this would sound like when I clicked on it and you somehow made it sound even more like SOAD than even SOAD can. You're a menace to society and I'm calling the cops.
😂
SOAD is my most favorite band ever. You fucking turn their music into something more amazing than I would think possible. We want an entire album. Fuckingamazing!!! FUCKING AMAZING!
I agree, where can we get the album?
Lemme kno when u find it
Your tastes in music are as good as my tastes in women. Wanna go to a concert together sometime?
@@Superabound2Dude did you just simp on RUclips? Yeesh!
Never heard Rock Lobster but this just genuinely sounds like something SOAD would write! Also played and sing so well if someone randomly played this to me I'd honestly have believed this was SOAD! This is unbelievably good!!
Bounce sounds a lot like SOAD covering a B-52's song that the B-52's forgot to write, not at all surprised this worked so well.
Where from most people are likely familiar with Rock Lobster: ruclips.net/video/pn26ZJhSJ94/видео.html
Oh, dude the original is a fuckin' jam and a half
My exact thoughts. I've never heard rock lobster either but this was just Serj with dark eye shadow coming close to the camera with his distinct facial expressions 😂
Rock Lobster is an absolute fucking classic
I... Actually really really really really really need them to live cover this now
If they don't cover this in one of their tour dates next year I will riot.
Seriously id listen to an entire album of your covers dude. Good shit
Love this needs a full 7 minute long version
He says it's cursed because he knows it is absolutely wicked!!!
Rock Lobster is 100% something SOAD would write.
That was surprisingly a 10/10. Didn't think it'd translate well into the style, but you nailed it.
Not gonna lie... as a life long SOAD fan, I had to see. Omfg dude, you are so damned talented.
Jesus this is unbelievable. How on earth did you make this work? :D The fact that you don't have half a million subs already is a sin. Keep it up man.
this is insane wtf lol this is sick, bro!
I actually like a lot the song Rock Lobster and now that you made this version, I can't believe that you made it sound so much better. You never disappoint me, this is too damn cool, bro.
Greetings from Mexico
Your voice actually sounds like a more raw version of Serj's godly voice and I abso-fucking-lutely love it❤❤❤
I can't tell in words how much i love these videos about SOAD, it's like they started to compose again
Is this guy the most underrated artist on RUclips? Seriously, I could listen to a whole album of this stuff
This seems like something family guy would do unironicaly
“But it wasn’t a rock” whispered cracks me up every time for some reason
What we've learned through the last couple years of fanship, nothing you do is cursed 😂😭 you are a once in a generation musician that just picks up whatever he can and makes magic with it.
Also, what if deftones made "headstrong" by trapt
I would speculate that he says "this will be cursed" almost as a failsafe, so that it won't be cursed.
That is a very well considered combo. Sounds excellent. Could totally imagine SOAD doing this cover.

Brilliant...seriously who suggested such a mash up of utterly perfection?
Five months later, and I can honestly say this is the most wtf in the best way fucking perfect re-interpretation.
Okay you're right this is cursed but in like the best possible way!
blursed
Searched this from IG had to hear it in full…
Nailed it…so good!
Vocals are spot on. Would you please describe your vocal chain starting w you mic all the way through the plugins? Thanks and keep ‘em coming!
How about if Primus made Summer of ‘69!
Your recommendation gave me an idea. Disturbed does “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)”.
In the style of “Remember” chorus:
Eeeeeeeeeeverythinnnnng I do,

Why does it work every single time for me,dude you rock hard
This makes TOO MUCH SENSE.
🤘🏻😜🤘🏻
🎶🎸🎶
Bro. Anyone who can pull that off deserves a new sub.
Well done mate.
If you want cursed, then hear me out on this one...Green Day does "The Best Day Ever" from Spongebob Squarepants.
Okay this one might be my favorite of all you've done. Definitely not cursed
I hope Serj Tankian gives you props for this song.
The vocals are perfect 😂 Love this
I would pay good money to watch SOAD cover this song live with you making a guest appearance on stage performing with them. This is one of those songs where the cover beccomes better than the original. lol

This definitely sounds like something they would have done. They still should lol
Brings me back to middle school. Well fucking done, my guy.
This needs way more views.
This accursed creation has been on replay in my head for the past 3 days…. Cursed greatness.
You are underrated my dude. Thats no bueno. Your vocals are spot fucking on as the duo. Really impressive to listen to what goofy shit you filter through their sound.
Wow. I didn't think this was possible, but now I believe.
omg, the chorus! You are the one who has the best sense of getting the song catchy of the "If X wrote Y"-channels. Almost getting better/more skillful for each video!
You are so talented dude its incredible
With how good you did this, I'd love to see your take of them doing "Give Me Back My Man". That's my favorite B-52's song.
I love this channel. Just discovered it. This could easily be on a SOAD album.
pretty fly for a white guy but korn
This is unbelievably good. Well done!
This is in the top 10 of greatest things on the internet for sure.
This is not cursed. So dope man. Love your stuff!!!
THE GALLOP IN THE CHORUS GOES CRAZY🔥🔥🔥
Man this is a savage cover by far my best cover artist! Slays it everytime
Mac ever misses. This is insane. Could've closed my eyes and thought this was a genuine cover SOAD. Nailed the harmonies dude!
Cursed? This is perfect. It’s going in my wedding mix.
B-52s is basically surf rock SOAD-- rapid tempo changes, constant harmony, nonsense lyrics, ... animal noises ...
Now we need you to do "if the B-52s wrote Chop Suey"
These are Seriously awesome. I'm loving it
you deserve more recognition my friend. you always pull off sweet mashups
omg i need the full version of this
Fucking killed it 🙌🙌
these are so good im suprised artist dont repsond with a cover of his renditions
Loved the b52s, good cover that does it justice
Dude! I have had this cover stuck in y head for days!!!!! Great job my guy. Thank RUclips for randomly showing me this video.
amazing talent and hard work
Absolutely love this cover of Rock Lobster. I turned my living room into a mosh pit while listening to this song. Keep up the great work! 🤘
Wow, I need this cover in Spotify lol it’s ridiculously great
Unmistakable, that sounds exactly like them bro got me fucked up
2 of my favorite bands! This is absolutely bonkers cover!
Bro is a fuxking machine thanks mac glocky
Why does this sound like an actual thing that they might cover? Its weird how well it fits!
Listen to Dead Horse version of Rock Lobster from early 90s. Way better 👍🏻
best song of you so far! the soad style is perfect fit for you! many thanks!
Nah this one’s for the books, it’s gold.
This might be the greatest thing I've ever seen
How, HOW is this SO GOOD?!
