@@kushalgarde2547 what is the original? I always thought this was the original. And I very much think so too that he was asking for louder piano on his monitor. I only know the rock version that came out later.
Serj is a genuinely amazing guy. Incredibly musically talented--he sings, he plays guitar, piano, and writes beautifully executed lyrics on current world issues in politics, discrimination, terrorism, and more. And above all, he's an utterly hilarious human being and undeniably friendly. Every aspect of the guy is flawless, really...
+Ryan Lafleche this isnt,u can watch this full concert,the concert called Axis of Justise,also there is Tom Morelo & how you think that in album recording audience can be there? :)
Does Serj realize the power he has? When he smiles, girls (and some guys) melt. When he sings, everyone listens and is amazed. When he plays the paino and sings, he can have any girl (or guy, but I'm pretty sure he's straight) he wants. Hell, his poetry has magical effects on people! Just him talking can make you want to jump his bones, no matter how ugly he may get. Serj is pert near perfect.
Same.... I wonder how all these people feel about the new SOAD music, or Serj's new EP coming out... Do they even know? Or is this a part of them left from the past? So many unanswered questions wonder around my brain...
I believe Serj is very gifted, talented and powerful personality.I like his way of thinking.This is one of his best performances, alone with his piano.. keep up Serj! we will be here watching you..
He's like a hero for me. It seems like he hasn't got any bad features (no minuses). Everything he does looks perfect. I fell in love with his voice and I hope to hear it at least once in my life (live). If it was on my will his song would be playing on my funeral.
I'm not yet used to this artist's works - but I have a good feeling about him and his music - very creative and intense art, indeed - if one's in the mood, it might just be what you need...:-)
Wow, I find myself coming back to this video either every day or every two days. It's such an amazing song and Serj is extremely talented. His songs are always sung with so much passion. I hope he puts this song on his new solo album. SOAD FUCKING RULES and so does SERJ lol
They are all beautiful, not just outwardly, but they are just the literal meaning of beautiful people. They have the strength as a band to never corrospond for a year and come back and start up a conversation ended the year before.
This happens to me too. Listen to it more then once and I begin to LOVE IT!!! I hated the Elect the Dead album, and almost cried, It would be a long time before any thing good came out from them. Then I gave some songs a chance and i was like WOW!!! Like Lie, Lie. Lie. I did not like the first time. then the second i was like this is my favorite song. I know every song by heart from that Album now. Give it a chance.

Serj is an embodiement of artistry, he plays so many instruments, has a deep powerful voice, he can sing with alot of emotions, and on top of it, he's an engaged person, with strong disbelief in the actual usa system...
Damn, I remember this song with Serj but I can't remember the name of it. The music video was about plastic toy soldiers fighting. Someone help, please. D:
know you commented this over a decade ago, but i believe the song you're thinking of is "The Unthinking Majority" ruclips.net/video/WQeRG72E3OM/видео.html

all 4 members, especially daron and serj are the chillest cool cats ive ever met in my life.. I hung out with them backstage in Rosemont (Chicago) at the Pledge of Allegiance tour.. Seriously.. coolest people ive ever chilled with. Not how youd expect them to be! aPure genius in EVERYTHING they do.
I'm actually watching this in 5000 BC. I'm a time traveler. Like Squidward in that one episode of Spongebob where he gets stuck in the freezer for 2000 years. Fuck off.
Man, i didnt know that Serj played piano. Very cool. I respect this man dearly. He appears to have a good grasp on reality and our current climate here in America.
"Super Bowl, half time, anytime is war time, second season, pass time, gonorrhea overtime..." Love it! It's Serj being his strange but awesome self. Love that guy.
I really love this, shows off some serious talents. You can hear a bit of melodic hints towards "Sky Is Over". Serj digs playing based upon those chords/scales. I love the time changes too, reminiscent of Frank Zappa.
I love this so much, the song itself is great!! Also I love the intro, to me it shows conflict at it's height and the world and trauma! All the agression too!
Revisiting this gem of a performance 16 years later 🥲
Same here
I am here too 😊
Count me in! :)
You're not alone.
Me too😢
When serj said "can i get some more piano please?" i really felt that..
He’s actually asking for it to be turned up in his monitor mix
@@seanoleary3653 nope. He says it at the exact same time in the original too. In the same tone
@@kushalgarde2547 what is the original? I always thought this was the original. And I very much think so too that he was asking for louder piano on his monitor. I only know the rock version that came out later.
@@kushalgarde2547the original what?
@@enzonismoya6935 sorry my bad. I was talking abt this. ruclips.net/video/HSF-2YbkzkI/видео.html but i tried comparing both and they’re the same.

I second that.
He's an arrogant dick too
Awesome. One of the best songs ever written. It's a shame that the other versions of this song lack the intensity that this performance has.
He can rock harder with a piano than most bands with all of their equipment. :-)
I love Serj's voice. I can't wait for Elect the Dead. I wish this song was on it.
How’d you like it?
How’d you like it?
holy shit 14 years ago how was the concert
how was the album?
Wow, I found an ancient comment
He really is my all time favorite artist..Serj is amazing
legendary performance is better than album version - EPIC
+Andrzej Strzelba this is the album recording lol
+Ryan Lafleche this isnt,u can watch this full concert,the concert called Axis of Justise,also there is Tom Morelo
& how you think that in album recording audience can be there? :)
This song was also recored with system sadly never relased
Anyone else here in 2024 still enjoying this amazing piece?
Absolutely! Never forget!
Amazing performance. Serj is a damn good musician - I hope I'll see him again in Berlin this year.
Does Serj realize the power he has? When he smiles, girls (and some guys) melt. When he sings, everyone listens and is amazed. When he plays the paino and sings, he can have any girl (or guy, but I'm pretty sure he's straight) he wants. Hell, his poetry has magical effects on people!

Yeah I don't even think he knows.
I love this man, he´s so talented!
ye
Serj I start to cry when I listen something by you!
Serj Tankian is the most amazing human I have ever seen/heard.. hes bursting with amazing creativity..such an inspiation
where he raises his voice, it gave me the chills three times, it was amazing, such a weird feeling :s
Truly, an inspirational person
Its amazing to see him perform something such as this, when I'm so used to hearing him with SOAD
SERJ TANKIAN IS REALY PROFESIONAL SINGER
It's like Hendrix on a piano, phenomenal composer if I die to be half the musician he is. I would be more than happy with myself.
Anyone in 2020 damn reading comments written 15 years ago gives me goosebumps.
Me

I don't even think Serj just knows how much of a musical genius he is. This kind of reminds me of the Shine. 👌👌👌👌

+crunchlead its not ex.
Yep you're right
Wow, I find myself coming back to this video either every day or every two days. It's such an amazing song and Serj is extremely talented. His songs are always sung with so much passion. I hope he puts this song on his new solo album.
SOAD FUCKING RULES and so does SERJ lol
He put it on elect the dead symphony
@@XtremeKillah101 Not as good as this live
i love how he changes his voice when he sings. it just adds more to the greatness
i'll never be fed up with this performance... it is just so heart-taking song
Same here! He's amazingly smart and talented. Plus, he always seems to just have fun during all live performances!
Been looking for this song for over a decade
Serj is the most talented person I've ever seen. System is awesome!!
Wow! Serj is a really good pianist! He's so multi-talented.
favorite song, favorite performance since 2013, I'll be in love with it forever
still love it
Same bro!!
Do you still love it?
Wurstlord Wurst yes, i still love it
@@grahamkakerel4183 what about now?
He should've recorded this version for Elect The Dead
He already did
That hair though, nice piano skills btw.
yes...he is a really a complete artist.!!!!!!! I love him.!!!!!!!
this is awesome!, thanks!
The first comment guys
Serj continues to impress me. He's my favorite singer and one of my favorite musicians.
Can't believe this is from 2006, when RUclips was just a toddler...
The performance was in 2004.

Amazing artist. Eyes open to reality and making great music.
do you realize how much talent this man has? It takes a helluva lot to learn to play the piano and here he is. YOU ROCK SERJ!

This is the best performance of this song. No doubt about it... even he hasn't the entire piano at the begining hahahaha
How can anyone not like Serj? He's amazing!!!
Serj has to make this into a single, or at least put it in his new album! It's too good to be a concert only!
2003-2004 were the years where Serj was transitioning from his 90's/early 2000's voice to his 2005 and present voice. He still sounds good tho
I do believe..THIS IS STILL THE BETTER VERSION, the better version of this Soooooong! Can I get some more piano please?
Serj is a god, He comes up with the greatest lyrics,rhythm, and ideas. He can play every instrument out there
Шикарно
everything on the channel is the True depiction of what love of music is I feel the same way my friend please keep making your brilliant sound waves
It's a masterpiece! 2018! ☝️❤️

I love his voice. Really strong and it has a huge effect on me every time I hear he singing : D
It's so refreshing to hear Serj singing without Daron.
Great song.
Actually you're not wrong
this is an incredable performance...and I love the song!

when serj was skinny as hell
Hes always been around the same weight. It's probably just the clothes he wears
He isnt even that skinny
Une seule chose à dire ... c'est Ca le Talent ! Merci Serj
Only one things to say ... That's The Talent ! Thanks Serj
Era pra ser uma musica da system
Incredible. Wasn't even fazed by that pesky sheet music falling down on top of the keys. Nicely done, Mr. Tankian. Nicely done.
who else is watching from 2016?
I'm actually watching this in 5000 BC. I'm a time traveler. Like Squidward in that one episode of Spongebob where he gets stuck in the freezer for 2000 years. Fuck off.

I guess Serj likes trills 😂
oh my goodness, he's the best that ever was, he's the best in everything he does, best singer, best piano player. Serj Tankian is the MAN! Totally!
this is pure talent and passion
he doesn't give a shit about records
only of getting his music and his words out
i fully admire him
this man is a genius! no matter what he does it'll turn out great. he's just downright an amazing artist.
Man, i didnt know that Serj played piano. Very cool. I respect this man dearly. He appears to have a good grasp on reality and our current climate here in America.
serj was born for making great music he is really great and has unbelieveble skills
"Super Bowl, half time, anytime is war time, second season, pass time, gonorrhea overtime..." Love it! It's Serj being his strange but awesome self. Love that guy.
What a performance! I love it
love this song ever since i first heard it. he's such a great artist. philosopher on a piano, sining right into your soul and touching your heart.
*cries* I would be thankful to be half as amazing and graceful as Serj is =]
I really love this, shows off some serious talents. You can hear a bit of melodic hints towards "Sky Is Over". Serj digs playing based upon those chords/scales. I love the time changes too, reminiscent of Frank Zappa.
Man, Serj is a great Musician, he play piano like i never see in my life!
aw man, i got chills.... brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
I love this so much, the song itself is great!! Also I love the intro, to me it shows conflict at it's height and the world and trauma! All the agression too!
finally someone with information thank u!!!
lots of luv-agnes
They need a new word to describe this man's wonderful talent
Great. Just Great. Needs to be on an Album as a bonus.
best version of this song
couldnt have put it better myself, and when they reunit it shall be epic my friend epic
serj has a amaizing singing voice and yes ure right music is passion. u put all ure emotion into ure music thats what makes it amaizing
