A damn shame they never put this on one of their albums. Casual SoaDomites need to hear songs like this, Temper and Friik. I hope they decided to rerecord them all and release them as part of an oddities collection like they did with the Toxicity II demos.
This is a bonus track on Elect the Dead! I had no idea that SOAD used to perform it... Finding things like this keeps me loving System even though they're on hiatus/broken up/whatever. :P
My favorite off of the Storaged melodies album, because of the mood change from relaxing to heavy, the eerie introduction, the lyrics, the chorus, & the feeling you get when listening to this song.
capnmorgan4, yeah, i saw them every weekend back then. sometimes friday and saturday night. it was awesome! you'll hafta check out the vids i have favorited of theirs now, i know more than a few will bring u right back to those days!
I love this song so much. Really saddening yet not at all It's beautiful, it was about a week ago I realised that i had had it on a CD for about half a year. I had been trying to find it on various P2P servers for some time. REMEMBER KIDS, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CD'S BEFORE THE INTERNET. You never know what you'll find on burnt discs.
yeah they opened up for Snot that night, Blue is another awesome unreleased SOAD song, they also played Starlit Eyes that night too which is another fucking awesome unreleased song, my fav right now
I love Serj's voice, just like everyone else, but I personally have no issues with Daron singing as well. I like when they both sing. I mean if they both play the role of 'lead singer' you get a hella-lotta more melodotic and harmonic possibilities than what you'd get with just one voice. System's the shitz both way and I love both new and old.
i have a recorded (not live) version from a few years ago. Low quality but still pretty cool. I think they recorded this the same time the did Honey and Temper and a few other things
actually, serj probably put it on the solo album, because he most likely wrote it. he wrote all the songs when they started out(their whole first album). but then daron started to write for them. so technically, it's serj's song.
True, you have to admit though, if it weren't for lyrics and the songs being recorded later on in SOAD, it'd be near impossible to make out anything Serj says. Especially in the Untitled 1995 Demo.
first time i see all of Serj arms. xD he never uses this kind of shirts. Its strange how 10 years ago SOAD wasnt a very famous band, they played at the wisky... and know they are a fucking great and unforgetable band.
what venue was this performed at? brings back so many memories! was such a S.O.A.D. underground groupie! saw them around 17 times in 1998 in NC. always small venues just like this, they were great! loved them like this! yeah this was before all the hair!
System of a Down was so much better back then, my favorite band is SOAD but i have to admit that they started sucking because Daron wanted to write songs and sing more and Serj just wasnt into it, they used to be so fucking good back then, completely into it, if you watch their newer live performances Serj just kinda mopes around on stage, but back then like i said they were great and really into their music, this show is the best live performance by them imo. That is my take, no flaming!

Serj made a version of this song in one of his solo albums (Same lyrics, but with new instrumentals), but SOAD's version it's 100% better :)
+Albirdosaur storaged melodies- google it (:
Serj's solo album
Agreed, just another for that awfully smallish pile of gems.
This is a bonus track on Elect the Dead! I had no idea that SOAD used to perform it... Finding things like this keeps me loving System even though they're on hiatus/broken up/whatever. :P
i like this song!!
Something's wrong, almost all of them have shirts on...
My favorite off of the Storaged melodies album, because of the mood change from relaxing to heavy, the eerie introduction, the lyrics, the chorus, & the feeling you get when listening to this song.
I think that my recently passed grandpa, may b thinking this same exact thing. Perfectly serj. Sharp. I love u.
Luving this song!😈
actually John says if he smiles or shows emotion he loses beat, and its crazy how he can keep a straight face
oh how i miss them so
clearly the best band ever!
drugs are not the only excuse for eccentricity. the confidence to do what u wish is not just the product of intoxication
capnmorgan4, yeah, i saw them every weekend back then. sometimes friday and saturday night. it was awesome! you'll hafta check out the vids i have favorited of theirs now, i know more than a few will bring u right back to those days!
THE BAND i love.evry single song
i love the bass at the beginning
This is awesome absolutely great wowage
yes it is on the elect the dead bonus album.. but an acoustic kinda funky version
This song is a bonus track on serjes album (Limited for those who don't know)
favorite song of system =D
such a good song
i cant believe that this is the only video or audio of system playing this song live.
I watch this video at least 2 times a day =]
the best of soad
I love this song so much.
Really saddening yet not at all
It's beautiful, it was about a week ago I realised that i had had it on a CD for about half a year. I had been trying to find it on various P2P servers for some time. REMEMBER KIDS, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CD'S BEFORE THE INTERNET. You never know what you'll find on burnt discs.
@jchilds2003 YES! they are ALL of their songs are soooooo goooood! I can't wait for them to get back together
Serj is NOT doing drugs, or he did, in the past, as well as Daron and Shavo :)
But they are clean now, or atleast Serj.
beautiful sooong
yeah they opened up for Snot that night, Blue is another awesome unreleased SOAD song, they also played Starlit Eyes that night too which is another fucking awesome unreleased song, my fav right now
yea i just found out and was like :O i thought that song has been on youtube for a while??? haha at least we have this song haha
serj was even more amazing and wild back then :)
this song is very cool
My sky is not blue anymore, miss SOAD
yeah it is but on Serj's solo album "Elect The Dead" its a bonus song called "serj tankian"
would love to see soad in a venue like this :( but now the only way to see them is in a field of 60000mil people. they deserve it :P
I love Serj's voice, just like everyone else, but I personally have no issues with Daron singing as well. I like when they both sing.

Bella serj..che fisicata!
best band
Not on any album, its an unreleased song.
But you can find the studio version here on good 'ol RUclips. ;D
omg, i think i have the exact same bass shavo is using in this vid, it appears to be a electric blue GIO ibanez. looks just like mine
@ChristianLunkvist He actually did release his version on the bonus track version of Elect the Dead. It's much calmer and less disturbed.
I miss this Serj...
he uses is whole voice...and doesn`t sing through his nose.But I`m glad he doesn`t take so much drugs anymore.
the old times of shavo
serj played this music on his solo live album
Elect the dead sympony
(sorry for the bad english)
i have a recorded (not live) version from a few years ago. Low quality but still pretty cool. I think they recorded this the same time the did Honey and Temper and a few other things
fun show
they are fuckin awsome..... SOAD for life
actually, serj probably put it on the solo album, because he most likely wrote it. he wrote all the songs when they started out(their whole first album). but then daron started to write for them. so technically, it's serj's song.
Wow! old System. kool. 5 stars for you.
@phatmanmj Its a demo tape that also has a bunch of other songs that didnt make it on the first album. :)
Serj has an acoustic version of Blue he re-recorded and put on a bonus version of Elect The Dead.
fuck yea system are the shit and serj is such an awesome lyricist / poet / vocalist
it's not on serj's solo album, this song is on storaged melodies, an unofficial released album(or something like that).
after 2 minutes is the best part :P
SOAD is the best band EVER
i fuckin love system of a down to day i die
i hope they get back together :(
800th rating
5 stars of course
Sad but true...I wonder why this song never made it on any album.
They have some kick ass unreleased material, Honey is my favorite jam...
PoGo...
I fucking love this song
@WildPenguinz789
yes it is. but obviously, it was written around this time ;)
you can see how serj improved his singing since this
SERJ IS AWESOME!
True, you have to admit though, if it weren't for lyrics and the songs being recorded later on in SOAD, it'd be near impossible to make out anything Serj says. Especially in the Untitled 1995 Demo.
This is much better than the one from his solo -- kinda weird that he took it as his own and put it on his solo; anyone agree?
I ABSOLUTELY agree... But When are they coming back in action??
yeah...um bring back soad! PLEEEASE! no more breaking up this time
woahhh. Daron, with a Fender Strat.
Serj Tankian put this on his bonus cd of his album Elect the Dead. His is more mellow though. still amazing
METAL TOWN 2011!
Its on the bonus album that you get when you actually buy it, guess what its called Blue
this version's so much more badass than the serj-only version. =)
OMFG, darron wheres the iceman??? lol never seen him with out one or now with the sg.
i know what you mean
that feeling is on me the same with roulette and question
first time i see all of Serj arms.
xD
he never uses this kind of shirts.
Its strange how 10 years ago SOAD wasnt a very famous band, they played at the wisky... and know they are a fucking great and unforgetable band.
what venue was this performed at? brings back so many memories! was such a S.O.A.D. underground groupie! saw them around 17 times in 1998 in NC. always small venues just like this, they were great! loved them like this! yeah this was before all the hair!
where can i steal this album? lol just kidding. but really where can i buy this album. cuz soad kick ass
i never heard this song before. does anyone know what album it's from?
@TheMegafunhouse that Legend of Zelda song isn't SOAD. I think the band's name is The Rabbit Joint.
well serj always wears shirts, but i agree with you on the rest
System of a Down was so much better back then, my favorite band is SOAD but i have to admit that they started sucking because Daron wanted to write songs and sing more and Serj just wasnt into it, they used to be so fucking good back then, completely into it, if you watch their newer live performances Serj just kinda mopes around on stage, but back then like i said they were great and really into their music, this show is the best live performance by them imo. That is my take, no flaming!
this song might be a bonus track on Serj'
s album, how cool is that?
you had to buy the special edition one with the bonus disc. or you can download it for free =)
beautiful and deep
If nobody else replied correcting you, there's one recording of it that was released, in fact you could probably just youtube it and listen.
@phatmanmj oh but marmalade also made it onto the first album in japan,,,
yes.
acoustic serj one?? tell me more
yeah its great and easy to play to
this was like one of thei r first song or somthinh?
very true
idk forget about it!
not sure they might wonder if they have accounts too that would be cool to be there friend
In my opinion, this is much better than Serj's version. Of coarse because I prefer SOAD over Serj's singles, but they're both fine.
just amazing isnt it?
soad fan site
or honey I loved that song
woah!
this is on serj's solo album...
wishhinn and wishhhin awaaay at yoou godddd
And yeah... heh... that IS John!
@1996CKY thanks
@Seasung123 i know right?
like this version better than the acoustic on serj's solo album
