For Serj Tankian to be able to do metal music with SOAD and do music with a full orchestra and not be ashamed to do it, this guy has all my respect. This man is a true musical artist.
Are u ok brother/sis ? ? ? ? Why would a musician ever be ashamed of doing something with a full orchestra ??? Please stop wasting megabytes just to type something.
1. He looks damn good in a white suit:) 2. He can sing. 3. ... with an orchestra. 4. He writes a song for his son. WITH screaming, distortion and everything. 5. He tells people to be as nice as possible. 6. What kind of a man would you need? 7. I am not at the end Serj, I am just pausing... ;-D But really, I do not know you by heart. but I think I know, where it is. In that case, we both have it at the same place.
Absolutely love this. Not just this song. But the whole album. Taking a metal singer, adding a symphonic orchestra, sounds like recipe for disaster. But it's been the exact opposite. Wonderful.
well actually, taking a "commercial songs singer" and make him sing metal song would be a disaster, on the other hand rock or certain types of metal make the whole thing worth to be listened over and over
No, it's not weird. Actualy there are some similar elements in structure in composition of classical music and some genres of heavy metal music. I recommend to you to explore work of Yngwie Malmsteen, especially his concert with Japan's Philharmonic Orchestra.
What I love most about this entire performance, in every song, he looks genuinely happy. You can tell hes enjoying and that creates an amazing vibe. This must have been inspiring to witness live
I remember listening to SOAD in the mornings while going to school by bus. I was 16, and I dreamed of singing and screaming your lyrics out loud. Your music has accompanied me through many journeys, and now that I've grown up - or at least I think so - you still make me feel the same sentiment as the old teenager me. Thank you, Serj! You're a master 🙏❤
I loved how much he’s grown into his creative freedom after branching off from System, you can tell how different Serj and Daron are creatively after seeing them doing as they please and it’s really beautiful, that work magically together because of their differences creating a sound that can never be replicated but it’s just so nice to watch them grow.
Serj, I hope you get this message! If I were to pick any one person in this world as my hero it would be you! You are a visionary, you inspired me and brought me out of a deep depression. I would not be an intellectual, nor would I be alive if I did not discover your music in high school. Please keep making music, I have every single song you've ever sung/written and I have been to one of your concerts (so far). Your voice is legendary and you deserve more positive PR, when I meet someone who says they hate system of a down because of the singing I eagerly enlighten them and I have converted dozens of people to becoming big SOAD fans. You saved my life, and I wanted to share this story with whoever can read it in hopes it will bring light to their darkest hours. God Bless!
hugh akston Nigga Damn, chill out dont type a whole fucking paper over why he's your hero just fucking sum it up, I got bored after the first sentence and saw that there was more but I thought it was just one or two sentences but no, it was just a fucking paper over some stupid shit. P.S I know you might call me a hypocrite but fuck you
Josh Smith Oh, I'M the pinnical of human stupidity just read what you typed and shut the fuck up. It has the single most idiotic thing I have ever read on youtube. You just need to shut up.
you have to give the man credit. Going from System of the Down style. and than this. he always had an incredible voice. i love how it sounds with an orchestra.

I was lucky enough to be at the show. Lots of people in SOAD gear. Serj would play 2 songs, then the orchestra played one. AT one point there was a mosh pit to vivaldi's four seasons.
That traditional vibrato of Serj is phenomenal.. In the end when he bends his voice with that vibrato, I went from goosebumps to tears and have heard the song 100 times!
I love that him singing live sounds almost exactly like his albums!!! So much talent. He should be an idol to all the up and coming artists. No more lip-syncing during concerts because you can sing like what the studios make you sound like!
Goosebumps. So many goosebumps. I've loved SOAD for years and Empty Walls is one of my favourite songs of theirs, but I hadn't heard THIS version before! Absolutely phenomenal.
I love this song so much. It’s literally the best song I’ve ever heard of my entire life. It’s heavy metal but at the same time at the opera and he made it two different versions, but which one’s better in your opinion like for real?
Michal Twardowski I think he's in the top 30 vocal ranges in popular music. On another note, Corey Taylor of slipknot is number 2 on that list! He has a 5 octave range!(Mariah Carey has only 4 octaves)
I think i have an addiction. Can't stop playing his music for 20 years now lol. The lyrics, melody,...the tempo.. Just beautiful and original. Nothin out there like Serj and SOAD.
This whole concert is just amazing. I wish i were there to experience this in person. Such a beautiful and absolutely powerful concert that just watching it on youtube gets me emotional and gives me goosebumps.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooow.... Serj, you are something else. Fellow INFJ.. You are so magically talented and beautiful man. If only more people in the world were like you/us. The depth in your personality, and absolutely jaw dropping musical art engagement.. No words!
The energy in his voice, in this performance... it's simply unbelievable. This made me cry in a way I was not expecting to. Truly amazing. This is pure art.

No autotune, no modulation, no chorus, no effects, just raw emotion and talent.
And the heart of a showman. Very few people could get away with wearing that suit!
no lights, no music!
Work. That's years of work.
No chorus. That’s what’s amazing.
I thought something felt weird. It’s like watching comedy without a laugh track and realising why Mitch hedberg is amazing
How can I be late 14 years and just discovered this performance now?
Serj's voice is a nature's force.
me too!
Yes yes. So beautiful and why did I just see this NOW!!!
just enjoy
Serj has one of the best voices in history.
This is just pure art.
he is in the 26th place of the best voices of all time
from where do you know?
.......... just google it .................................
Metal voices
anybody can make a list on who is the best
For Serj Tankian to be able to do metal music with SOAD and do music with a full orchestra and not be ashamed to do it, this guy has all my respect. This man is a true musical artist.
Because there is a lot of people that complains at this, believe me.@selfawarebot1
Orchestral music is mostly classical right so hear we have it, metal is literally just classical post electricity
Serj was a classically trained opera singer before SOAD
Are u ok brother/sis ? ? ? ? Why would a musician ever be ashamed of doing something with a full orchestra ??? Please stop wasting megabytes just to type something.
@@pamboscharalambous2281You'll be surprised.
Its 2024 and still listening this masterpiece ❤❤

Same here.
Me too ❤
I'm so sorry for you
And for the rest of wаnkers in replies
1. He looks damn good in a white suit:)
2. He can sing.
3. ... with an orchestra.
4. He writes a song for his son. WITH screaming, distortion and everything.
5. He tells people to be as nice as possible.
6. What kind of a man would you need?
7. I am not at the end Serj, I am just pausing... ;-D
But really, I do not know you by heart. but I think I know, where it is. In that case, we both have it at the same place.
Serj has one of the most recognisable voices ever.
Serj Tankian is the best.
Agreed
Absolutely love this. Not just this song. But the whole album. Taking a metal singer, adding a symphonic orchestra, sounds like recipe for disaster. But it's been the exact opposite. Wonderful.
You just put what I've wanted to say for years into words.
Wow.

Love....hate.....anger......sadness....revenge all in one voice. What a gift. Thank you, Serj
Seth is not just a gift to us all, but a blessing...
holy shit...i wonder what people think when they hear this and then search for him and check his SOAD videos
Admiration?
natalia slipknot IKR
No doubt, they will like it.
Literally they're the exact same shit.
@@scottbruckner4653 soad is more of a hard metal/rock while serj solo is more of a soft version

That's a good way of explaining it. It's even better getting older and gaining more of an understanding of the lyrics as well
3:43 you can take Serj out of metal, but you can't take metal out of Serj
the whole performance is metal as fuck
From behind those F U C K I N G waaaaalls

And 14 years later, still get chills.
Edit: to say Serj is such an organic and needed voice coming out of the metal community
I think more metalheads fans in this live show rather than orchestra fan... X)
As i'm a Metalhead i love this version.
Couldn't be both? ahahaha
Muhd Roehaizzad Azizi yep, I was their and Serj nailed it... He is a great musician
Muhd Roehaizzad Azizi I think most metalheads appreciate orchestras too. I know that I do!
I was lucky enough to be at the show. Lots of people in SOAD gear. Serj would play 2 songs, then the orchestra played one.
AT one point there was a mosh pit to vivaldi's four seasons.
this is such powerful music. why did i ever stop listening to it ?

Honestly I thought it was at first. I had to go back because of it and check.
Thank You Armenia for SOAD - Greatings from Poland
When an opera super fan with an iconic metal voice gets his own orchestra to perform live with... Pure perfection.
one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard
Serj has one of the most beautiful and powerful voices of all time.
THIS IS MUSIC...
LOGICKUSH BEATS yeah
Yes it is... thank you
His voice is so epic
Listen again :)
That traditional vibrato of Serj is phenomenal.. In the end when he bends his voice with that vibrato, I went from goosebumps to tears and have heard the song 100 times!
Who comes back to this wonderfull randition of an amazing song. Gives me chills even after all these years
He has such an unique voice. First when i listened SOAD i told myself wow this guy's voice is amazing.
ERMEGERD!
>_>
3===>
Талант так же как и 20лет назад! А когда находишь переводы песен, то понимаешь что это не только красивый голос но смысл! Систем это он!
The voice of the angel who descended to us mortals is so beautiful that we want to listen at night and again. Sound further, such a beautiful voice
Serj , nothing else. He is and he will be forever an ICON.
Серж прекрасен. Голос, талант, фигура. Балдею уже лет 15 от его исполнения. Видео его песни с отцом вообще моё любимое
Bro my whole body is covered in goosebumps this is insane 😮
Probably the most talented musician of our age..
2021 needs to listen to this whole performance again. 👏🏻
Serj - an absolute genius and living legend!
I love that him singing live sounds almost exactly like his albums!!! So much talent. He should be an idol to all the up and coming artists. No more lip-syncing during concerts because you can sing like what the studios make you sound like!

This tour came to my university 10 years ago and my job sent me out of town that night. It never happened again and I regret never seeing this live
Damn....
The evolution of Serjs music is astounding I've listened to him since the very first SOAD album till now and he just keeps getting better.
Easily one of the best voices in music today. His range and talent with his vocal chords is incredible.
Michal Twardowski I think he's in the top 30 vocal ranges in popular music. On another note, Corey Taylor of slipknot is number 2 on that list! He has a 5 octave range!(Mariah Carey has only 4 octaves)

Empty Walls

Enjoy:
Your empty walls
Your empty walls
Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls
Those empty walls
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you

Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls
I left you

you killed my family
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you
