Not for me. I'm not going all the way to Hollywood to get my Crack, Smack, or Bitch, even if it's that crazy, blue, Walter White, Heizenburg Bitch. It's just not economicly feasible. It's just too far. However, after seeing Darens little freestyle at the end I'm thinking I want what he's on. 🤪🤣😬✌
We’re up to 3 million prisoners now. A 33% increase since this song came out. Our elections are more rigged than ever. We have more wars now than ever. Things are going great under Biden.
The live videos of SOAD from this era are the reason I’m addicted to live music. I played these videos non stop when I was in middle school (2006-2009)
This whole concert is staggeringly amazing. When Darons guitar screws up he is so disgusted with it. If only they would make another five albums! Thanks Michael this was fun.
One of the greatest band of all time...When I first heard Chop suey I was blown away...an absolute Masterpiece witch has now over 1.1 billion views on RUclips to Toxity to Aerials, B.Y.O.B Spiders, and so so many more.....
They were broken up for a long while. I think their recent tours have just been trying to find any kind of inspiration as a group. Hopeful for a new album though
Since u used to love the harder rock/metal, its insane u never heard this song before. The opening song of Toxicity, which is just legendary status by now as an album. I always went back and forth with SOAD back in the day, but the things they create and how they act, truly is unique. They are god damn brilliant madmen
Saw them in LA at a charity show back in ‘03. They opened for RHCP, but kicked off their set with a cover of GnR’s “Civil War”. They are an unforgettable band.
Speaking of guttural growl, I'd be so so so happy to see your reaction to one of the most impressive female vocalists out there right now, Courtney LaPlante. Check out "Spiritbox - Circle With Me - Courtney LaPlante live one take performance". I'm not sure the last time I've seen a performance that made me feel so many different emotions, with astonishment above the rest. Truly incredible to hear a woman with so much range, as well as one of the more beautiful and angelic choruses I've ever heard. I hope you check it out. Thanks Michael!
I saw SOAD several times in their heyday, but one of the performances was at a small (under 1000 capacity) venue in Tempe, AZ in the year 2000. The power and ferocity of that performance was nothing short of supernatural and I've never seen or heard anything like it before or since. They're still one of the most underrated rock acts of all time despite the huge success that they enjoyed.
The thing I love is that 99% of the audience has no clue that is the Scorps...but it just feels like home. When the Smoke Is Going Down is a song that anyone who has ever played a show starts to weep when they hear...So good.
Thanks for doing SOAD! Grew up on the Native Rez in NM, these guys were huge! Everytime I hear them again I get trasported back to that place in time. I too wish that they would put of more new music. A voice and perspective that I'd like to hear again, right now.
Such a lovely memory! 💓 However; Soad didn't open the show with Prison song at Lowlands 2001. The setlist was as following: 1. Drugs 2. Suite pee 3. Jet pilot 4. Prison song The tuning is CGCFAD.
Nothing to do with this video but you should check out this Australian band from Melbourne… “closure in Moscow”, there album “first temple” is some creative work
This is a reaction I thought I'd never see on this channel... I've only recently dug deep into SOAD's unfortunately short, weird, hypnotic but stunning catalog!
I'm sure it's probably already been mentioned, but I'm too lazy to scroll to see --- but that song at the end is actually a cover of The Scorpions - When The Smoke is Going Down
I feel like Michael hits on what is most attractive about SOAD without knowing much about them. It's what most SOAD fans felt after listening to a few popular songs, then diving into everything else that System of a Down has done; "It's beyond a musical critique at this moment...but ruclips.net/video/FYmdTLs_1AY/видео.html ". In my experience, people either love SOAD, or are totally turned off by their music. Personally, I kept coming back to them because they sound like no one else. They've held their unique sound for a long time. They're still getting attention on albums that debuted in 2005. I think that speaks volumes. Great video Michael. -Love, Some SOAD Fan
New sub…. Coming over from Evan Bartels . This song is kinda to the point , a. Pulling no punches, almost to a humorous point, but a very serious topic at the same time. And a truthful song to if u ask me.
I’d love to see you cover Maximum the hormone. I listened to SOAD a ton when I was in HS and maximum the hormone was like getting the Japanese version of them
Went to their concert in NZ in 2012 and it was killer. Went so hard I became the thirstiest human being alive and water was $4 a cup so I accepted a drink from a stranger. I got the worst throat infection you can possibly imagine and it was totally worth it ^-^
Could you please react to HammerFall - Heeding the Call (Live at Lisebergshallen 2003 HD) Or Too Old to Die Young!, Im very curious to see your thoughts!
Michael, I've been watching you for a year now over my guitar journey, at first I didn't know anything you were saying, and now things are becoming so much clearer as I learn. You reactions are always amazing, and you've introduced me to what have become some of my favorite artists. You probably know him, but one of mine is Jeff Buckley. His singing and guitar playing was so unique. I'd love for you to check out one of only a handful of recordings of his song Lover, You Should've Come Over. Buckley uses some interesting chords I'd love to see you break down. Enjoy, and keep rocking! ruclips.net/video/vLHcHWDvgfQ/видео.html
Hello dude🤘 recomend for you!!! Come react talent 3girls hijab Rock heavy metal Indonesia🇲🇨band VoB:god, allow me (please) to play music 'OMV' or [Not] Public Property 'OMV' this nice song and music is fire🔥🔥. amazing skill & baddas 🤘, VoB go to Wacken open air (WOA)2022 in german. #VoBfansBase🇲🇨🤘☕
Irreverence with a purpose. I think both lyrically and sonically they get you saying, "Yeah! F that!" or "That sucks!" and then hook you into giving a shit in a different way.
Must be so hard to do ones like this….. no melodic value what so ever but hey that’s SOAD 🤷 When you go to a show for the performance and not the music it’s a loss already.
I Like your channel and you seem down to earth but I feel you're just putting too much on this. It's just S.O.A.D. doing what they do. This Song had plenty of Air Play in its day. It's a really simple song to play. The are a really good band i.m.o. I get what you're saying about them doing their own thing and I think I get the comparison to Rage Against.............Music , like all Art is subjective. The Video just stopped and your assertion came to an equally abrupt end. Fitting I suppose. I'm sure I'll be misunderstood here.You'll always get a thumbs up from me
those lyrics are incredibly relevant right now
And showing no sign of ever not being relevant tbh. It's got worse every year.
Not for me. I'm not going all the way to Hollywood to get my Crack, Smack, or Bitch, even if it's that crazy, blue, Walter White, Heizenburg Bitch. It's just not economicly feasible. It's just too far. However, after seeing Darens little freestyle at the end I'm thinking I want what he's on. 🤪🤣😬✌
Unfortunately the lyrics have been relevant for quite some time (in the United States).
Always have been and always will be.
We’re up to 3 million prisoners now. A 33% increase since this song came out. Our elections are more rigged than ever. We have more wars now than ever. Things are going great under Biden.

Same dude. Same age too haha. It was so upsetting finding out that they had just gone on hiatus when I started getting into them.
Have you listened to Coheed and Cambria? Another band who's live performances are just incredible.
Same, it was the reason I bought my first electric guitar! Playing these live songs in 2010-2014 (I was 12-16 yo)
@@geologist5838 Daron was my first “guitar hero.” I forgot just how badly I wanted an Iceman
This whole concert is staggeringly amazing. When Darons guitar screws up he is so disgusted with it. If only they would make another five albums! Thanks Michael this was fun.
Darons band has put out a couple of good albums.
Do u have link to that lol i wanna see
One of the greatest band of all time...When I first heard Chop suey I was blown away...an absolute Masterpiece witch has now over 1.1 billion views on RUclips to Toxity to Aerials, B.Y.O.B Spiders, and so so many more.....
Only issue I have with SOAD is they haven't put out new music, such a good band to not be recording.
They were broken up for a long while. I think their recent tours have just been trying to find any kind of inspiration as a group. Hopeful for a new album though
They release a new album in 2020
Since Serj got deeper in politics the band kinda broke up
@@Screamo707 No, they didn't. Why do you gotta spread false information?
They put out two songs in support of the invading Armenian troops in Azerbaijan in 2020
Since u used to love the harder rock/metal, its insane u never heard this song before.
The opening song of Toxicity, which is just legendary status by now as an album.
I always went back and forth with SOAD back in the day, but the things they create and how they act, truly is unique. They are god damn brilliant madmen
great band great song great performance GREAT MESSAGE
I just love how speechless you were throughout this lol
Saw them in LA at a charity show back in ‘03. They opened for RHCP, but kicked off their set with a cover of GnR’s “Civil War”. They are an unforgettable band.
I believe nobody will EVER match System of a Down. Or be able to compete in their knowledge of music. It’s mind blowing.
u gotta react to the whole concert is probably one of the best things i’ve watched
When I was 9 I thought I was so cultured blasting this through the living room speakers when my parents ran to the grocery store for 30 minutes
Speaking of guttural growl, I'd be so so so happy to see your reaction to one of the most impressive female vocalists out there right now, Courtney LaPlante. Check out "Spiritbox - Circle With Me - Courtney LaPlante live one take performance".

yes!
The guitar part is nothing to sneeze at.... he does a live play through of that as well in another video. Just nuts.
How!? I love watching this channel. I've been back on a System Of A Down binge and here you are. Reviewing SOAD... the stars really do align.
I saw SOAD several times in their heyday, but one of the performances was at a small (under 1000 capacity) venue in Tempe, AZ in the year 2000. The power and ferocity of that performance was nothing short of supernatural and I've never seen or heard anything like it before or since. They're still one of the most underrated rock acts of all time despite the huge success that they enjoyed.
Daron was covering When the Smoke is Going Down by Scorpions at the end there.
The thing I love is that 99% of the audience has no clue that is the Scorps...but it just feels like home. When the Smoke Is Going Down is a song that anyone who has ever played a show starts to weep when they hear...So good.
You should react to their performance of Suggestions from the same concert (Lowlands 2001)...
Serj's vocals are on another level
Great band, great song, great performance always
Thanks for doing SOAD! Grew up on the Native Rez in NM, these guys were huge! Everytime I hear them again I get trasported back to that place in time. I too wish that they would put of more new music. A voice and perspective that I'd like to hear again, right now.
Amazing song and great band. Thanks Mike
SOAD was pretty good back in the day. Had the honor of catching the at Ozzfest 2003 during peak Toxicity. Amazing show.
Please react to more SOAD! Great band, truth tellers, beautiful artist. The definition of unique.
Keep up the great videos man! Really enjoy the channel and listening to your breakdowns.
Not me immediately thinking they were gonna cover the Carlton Williams tune
LOVE YOUR TYPE OF REACTION!
Thank you for this❤
Such a lovely memory! 💓 However; Soad didn't open the show with Prison song at Lowlands 2001. The setlist was as following:
1. Drugs
2. Suite pee
3. Jet pilot
4. Prison song

I saw SOAD play when I was 15 (2001). It was amazing. So bouncy!
Love soad. Love ratm. Love their very relevant lyrics. Love this channel.
That scorpions (when the smoke is going down) break at the end was awesome
Nothing to do with this video but you should check out this Australian band from Melbourne… “closure in Moscow”, there album “first temple” is some creative work
Hell yeah. Great band.
"System of a down is rage against the machine squared" true dat
This is amazing I’m so happy to see system on your channel
love system of th down 8 also loved scars on Broadway, you should do a reaction video from scars on Broadway
Wow that is in a portuguese TV channel, SIC Radical... Really nice
SOAD is the soundtrack of my youth. I will never tire of how great they truly were.
This is a reaction I thought I'd never see on this channel... I've only recently dug deep into SOAD's unfortunately short, weird, hypnotic but stunning catalog!
Hey man, love your channel! Never seen anyone react to this song and I think it’s too good not too. Van Gogh- Pony Bradshaw
I'm sure it's probably already been mentioned, but I'm too lazy to scroll to see --- but that song at the end is actually a cover of The Scorpions - When The Smoke is Going Down
Ratm, mixed with Mike Patton, mixed with Zappa. = SOAD.
"Okay.... so... In the verse if you want to call it;" XD
I hear Primus, Rage Against The Machine, Scorpions, on and on, plus their own sound. Awesome.
Great Video! I didn't know this song either!

Mooorreeeee system reactions ASAP!!!!!!
U should try react to Soad-revenga live at hurricane festival 2005
Please do Colter Walls Caroline! It is beautiful song it will give you chills
It's not a political message they're trying to deliver, it's the fookin' truth they're preaching.
Hi brother Mike.....please react ALIPBATA finger style....please....please.....please...... 🙏🙏🙏
If you haven't had a chance, definitely try to react to Miyavi - What's My Name Live. His guitar skills never fail to amaze!
Love the reaction videos. Lots of great songs and more to come. You should check out Luke Combs and Ed Sheeran’s collab of “Dive.” Absolutely amazing!
Love it!
React to Dave Martone - Got Da Blues
Have you heard wicked world live by Black Sabbath 20 mins of shredding
Please react to “tied my hands” (acoustic by seether) very beautiful acoustic song!!
"Rage Against The Machine... Ss, squared...... much higher exponent" XD Oh, the comments made here, when out of context or even nearly are GOLD.
Please react to Jinjer home back
Love the videos! Would love to hear you react to Rock & Roll Baby by Yelawolf and Shooter Jennings
has this song ever been more relevant? shout out to the WEF out in Davos, the latest group of satan's spawn trying to build a prison
Hi bro I ask you to react to alip bata from linkin park numb which has a lot of harmonic techniques
You should do a top 5 of worst bands to play warmup for, and explain why all 5 are SLAYER😂🤘
Went to their concert in NZ in 2012 and it was killer. Went so hard I became the thirstiest human being alive and water was $4 a cup so I accepted a drink from a stranger. I got the worst throat infection you can possibly imagine and it was totally worth it ^-^
P.S, I passed by Serj's house often when I lived in Whangarei. Surreal as a little ol' New Zealander :')
I didn't know that SOAD is fan of Scorpions 😁😁
This song has a Beastie Boys-Sabotage vibe! 😂
When you gonna watch Thomas Blug Stratking?
daron is the god of "drop c"
I like that he just stopped trying to analyze because Prison Song live at lowlands 2001 is that strong :D
Can you react to dance gavin dance? Their guitarist will swan is a freaking genius
These are the Armenian boys I went to school with. I believe the running is different
Please react to pat martino
🤘😆
Could you please react to HammerFall - Heeding the Call (Live at Lisebergshallen 2003 HD) Or Too Old to Die Young!, Im very curious to see your thoughts!
Yo cool vid, check out the band named GWAR.
Michael....... Static X!!!!!!
It's the first song on that album ....Toxicity

Turned on the closed captions & my phone started smoking. 🔥
Irreverence with a purpose. I think both lyrically and sonically they get you saying, "Yeah! F that!" or "That sucks!" and then hook you into giving a shit in a different way.
Their songs are like being chased by a serial killer and finally losing them... only to be hit by a car lol
That beginning sounded sloppy. Am I tripping? Everything else sounded perfect. John was ahead of both Daron & Shavo.
Must be so hard to do ones like this….. no melodic value what so ever but hey that’s SOAD 🤷
