Hey, Polo, if you really and truly would like to care less about what people think about you and be more confident, have a look into Stoicism, a really wonderful philosophy. There are plenty of videos here on RUclips about it, I find Einzelganger and Daily Stoic to be my favourite, but seriously in small and gradual ways, it helps. Peace and love brother x
The first line always got me. Life is a waterfall we're one in the river then one again after the fall. To me I just get we're all the same. Everyone is equal and peaceful just floating along happily and then you hit the waterfall of life and everything becomes chaotic. You're out of control tumbling crazy things happening and in a very short amount of time it's over and then we're all equal and peaceful again. There's a lot of depth in a lot of their songs.
@@Levi-ou2zm Me too 🤨🤔. I thought POLO was still pissed 😡🤬😤😮💨 about the MacBook. I've been waiting forever for POLO to do any reaction to SOAD....this is the one I wanted him to react to 🙂👍
@@seanpatton7406 thought it was because I ask for him to react to Stinkfist a lot. Haven’t seen any good reacts too it. All low quality or goofy. Polo would love it.
Yeah this whole album was next level Science, Forrest and atwa are other great songs from this album but honestly anything off the toxicity album is a banger
I love the tune of Science but hate the message. Science is not the problem. The problem is the ruling class. Science will save us and the planet if not perverted by capitalist douchebags
so cool to see you checking out Some more SOAD!! Lots of good tracks by these guys, the Hypnotize/Mezmirize double album has some great ones :D Soldier Side is one I think you will really like. BYOB is another. Toxicity, title track is a really good one. Glad you enjoyed!
I agree with you about opening your mind up to new things. I’m listening to music I never ever would have considered two years ago. I guess I can thank Covid for that. Loved this song by SOAD. Enjoyed your comments as always.😊
System of a Down is incredible and they’ve got so many songs you could check out. Top of that list after what you’ve already checked out would be BYOB and Toxicity
POLO, warning ⚠️🚨....you will never hear another Band that can INSTANTLY switch the tone, vibe and overall mood of a song. Can't wait for more SOAD reactions from you. 👍😯😳🤯 You're going to enjoy...... addition to drive playlist; it WILL SOUND completely different, in a good way 😉
Oh no, that's inaccurate, my friend. Opeth does this a lot, and they're amazing as well. And that's just one example among many. There's a whole world out there, etc etc. 😉
@@seanpatton7406 Oh my, oh my...! In that case, I simply have to recommend the Ghost Reveries album. The songs are much longer, which can be weird if you aren't used to prog of any kind, but I genuinely think it's necessary in many cases. That album is also very approachable, which is a huge bonus. 😄 I was blown away the first time I heard it, and I sincerely hope that others, you included, can have that same experience!
I have to respond to the music in the car, looks thing. I've had friends my whole life asking if I know that I'm black. I blast whatever I'm into at the moment loud. My theory is, if you don't like it dont look or listen. I LOVE MUSIC! I like all types of music. I was raised that way. I speak extremely proper and correct people sometimes who speak improper English. I love John Denver, Tupac, Metallica, Mozart, and all Pop music. Polo, enjoy yourself! You only live once. The song is great too!
I'm the same way bro as far as jealousy and envy, I have always just been happy for other people when good things happen for them. Jealousy is a young man's practice anyway. Lol
Yooo i dig this channel. Loving this journey of seeing another black man discover this music I've been enjoying for decades. I am reliving my teenahed years just watching these reactions and it is amazing!
I have watched like 3 reaction vids from you, so far. I think I am about to binge them. I like your presence, your demeanor, and your open mind. To add to that, your reactions seem GENUINE, and not forced. The only other people that I watch that I think GENUINELY react is Lex from brad and Lex, and Jai from Half and Jai. It was only later in life that I learned to appreciate almost ALL kinds of music, from lyrics to instrumentation. I also have a VERY Eclectic playlist. From pink Floyd, to Tim McGraw, to The Band Perry, to Pantera, to Styx, to Rush, to A Perfect Circle, to TOOL, to Luke Bryan, to The Cog Is Dead, to Fozzy, to Big Smo, to Eminem, to Too Short, to Nelly, to Bush!!! I am discovering a wealth of Music and people look at me crazy while I am driving as well, blasting all these songs that a lot of people never heard of, or think it is weird to listen to Hootie and the Blowfish and Metal Church, back to back. lololololol But I do also roll around in a small suv that is tricked out as a Villain Corp Official vehicle...
MrLboyd has a great YT Channel as well. His channel is just shy of 1M Subs. Imo, POLO and him could pass as real brothers, especially with the glasses 🤓
SOAD is like if Joey Jordison’s drumming creativity was turned into lyrics, if that makes sense. it’s creative, it’s mesmerizing, it’s beautiful. You feel Joey’s double basses in your soul like how you feel Serj’s lyrics.
Love this band. Most songs need be listened twice. What a great band. Every song rocks. Check out the song with Serg and Mike Patton. It's on a movie soundtrack.
SOAD is one of those foundational metal bands for me. Them, Rage, Tool, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails. Serj Tankian (lead singer) has a FIRE track with Tech N9ne called Straight Out the Gate. I would love it if you checked it out! Loved this! 🖤
SOAD is one of those bands that are damn close to TOOL level They're lyrics are dark, clever, and so intelligent plus the music absolutely rocks Do Prison Song More System !!! 🤘
Banana, banana, banana, terracotta, banana... I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish What a splendid pie! Pizza pizza pie! My cock is much bigger than yours / My cock can walk right through the door - Some Dark, Clever, and intelligent System of a Down lyrics.
This is what I love about rock music: lyrically it's old school hip hop, back when the genre had a conscience, spoke on social issues, about reflection, hardships, about loss and redemption. Rock music has all those elements and then some, which is why it's easy for me to relate.
I used to try to figure out what these lyrics meant...then I read an Interview with Serg were he said it doesn't mean anything they just wrote a bunch of stuff down that sounded cool.
Pearl Jam, 'Even Flow' that's a door to something else you may have missed.... Pearl Jam's 'Ten' is one of the greatest albums ever produced imho and throws you right into the grunge period, where Nirvana lies waiting for you, deep inside a dark place But the Dark Side of the Moon from Pink Floyd is my best album of all times 😎
Awesome reaction - I am 59 and have had some success in business etc, so hopefully don''t have to work anymore. I am easy to get along with, but just don't give a shit if someone does not like me. It makes life a lot easier.
POV: It's 2015 and my new girlfriend drags me to watch her opera singing cousin in a "Rockestra"..(wah wah lame) The first song was Aerials and I'm almost embarrassed to say hearing it in that context was life changing. 🤷♂️
I'm actually glad you weren't able to process the video because you were focusing on the song. That actually sets you apart in a very refreshing way from other reactors. I almost dread watching an Aerials video reaction, because too many reactions get distracted by the strange visuals of the video and forget to pay attention to the song. I've watched where the entire reaction was them trying to dissect the meaning of the video, and it's frustrating, because SOAD is about the song, not the video. Their videos are cool, but the song is the point. No problems with you going and paying attention to it later. Just glad you were so drawn in by the song.
I saw them back in the day on an incredible lineup with Body Count, Kid Rock, Korn and Metallica at the old original Mile High Stadium in Denver. System of a Down definitely held their own.
Loving your Tool journey, Polo, SOAD is top-notch too. In addition to continuing to explore these bands, would suggest you consider, when you’re ready, diving into A Perfect Circle, Rage Against The Machine, Dream Theater, and Riverside. Honorable mentions for Lacuna Coil, Opeth, maybe even check out Between the Buried and Me (Voice of Trespass is a cool song to start with). Cheers!!
Hey Polo enjoy your reactions Been watching you for a little while now I am 59 years old and I took my walls down I use to be an old-school rock ‘n’ roll listening person but thanks to my two boys they broaden my horizons to a bunch of new music which I really enjoy tool is one of my number one system of a down is high on my list but I have one for you to check out. It might be a little out of the wheelhouse, but I think you’ll really love it. The band is jinger a good song to start with I think would be perennial live amazing vocals, amazing musicians, pisces or what most people start with also a great song
Polo, System has such a great message here with this song. It may be up there with your love for Tool. I agree as well my friend. The older I've become, the more I've released the shackles placed upon me by life, by others. I think we're told and taught many things. Some good, some not so much. But we are... We. We get to choose our future. I aim to be more kind, and less tolerant of the negativity that abounds and tries to bring us down. It's time to stand up for good. I aim to use the boxes placed upon me, and or around me, as kindling for the amazing warmth I'll feel from the fire we'll build, and share it with others as we stand around the hope from the hearth of OUR creation, created by our desire to be a part of making this world what we'd like to see, what we'd like it to be. Hopefully better for all.

Yo Polo, I'm not sure if this was shadow banned. This didn't even come across my feed. Crazy this has has so little views. Great reaction as always.
I missed this one as well and I check out my subs everyday.
Dawg im seeing this 2 days later, im all over a soad reactions too
Same here man

They mastered transitioning between quiet to heavy AND heavy to quiet.
This whole album is amazing!! From start to finish....Prison Song to Aerials!!
There is in fact no bad song on the Toxicity Album
Probably my favorite hard rock album of all time fuck that no Probably about t
This song always gives me chills. The entire album was a masterpiece. ❤
“Be You. They’ll adjust” is my favorite quote from any reactor on RUclips. Love you man.
That's just some individualistic bullshit... cause you will have to adjust to others in a way or another, you live in a society.
Hell yes! My favorite SOAD song. That whole album is amazing
Nice random thought sharing at the start: constructive self analysis is always worthwhile
This is from 2 days ago? Why I haven’t I seen this yet? It’s an instant watch!
I tried to post it couple of days ago it was blocked. It was just released about 2 hours ago.
yeah, it only popped up for me today too. for some reason..
This song was my ring tone for a long time. Every time I hear it I think my phone is ringing. 😂 Great song!
for me it's the same but with 10s from pantera
Yeah this whole album was next level
Science, Forrest and atwa are other great songs from this album but honestly anything off the toxicity album is a banger
I love the tune of Science but hate the message. Science is not the problem. The problem is the ruling class. Science will save us and the planet if not perverted by capitalist douchebags
SOAD are the perfect combination of Devine beauty and organised chaos 👌🏼
so cool to see you checking out Some more SOAD!! Lots of good tracks by these guys, the Hypnotize/Mezmirize double album has some great ones :D Soldier Side is one I think you will really like. BYOB is another. Toxicity, title track is a really good one. Glad you enjoyed!
Would love to see him do BYOB!
I agree with you about opening your mind up to new things. I’m listening to music I never ever would have considered two years ago. I guess I can thank Covid for that. Loved this song by SOAD. Enjoyed your comments as always.😊
I just found you and wanted to thank you for reintroducing me to the music/artists i use to listen to.
System of a Down is incredible and they’ve got so many songs you could check out. Top of that list after what you’ve already checked out would be BYOB and Toxicity
I dont think byob is really worth mention, hypnotize and A.T.W.A however...
@@donaldn5798 no BYOB is absolutely worth the mention. I'd also reccomend Spiders, Forest, Chop Suey, and just for fun, Cigaro
@@donaldn5798your crazy
Epic mix tape with SOAD, TOOL and Pink Floyd.

Nice!! My FAVE SOAD Song!!!! Also the first one I ever heard!!!!
Youre a cool dude Polo, love the way you think. Third eye wide open always
When you lose small mind, you free your life.
Probably my favorite song from system of a down
Dude I really liked your reaction, you are way more chill than majority of people reacting to these kind of songs.

This and Questions are my favorite SOAD songs, glad to see you check this out
The beginning of the song was my ringtone forever
What a fabulous song with so many facets all over. Thanks for the reaction.
This has been so cool watching this journey you're on, it's breathing new life into a lot, almost forgotten, music for me.
Favorite band of all time. You HAVE to react to deer dance by them.
I'm a big fan of people who are real, words and actions.
I'm the same way bro as far as jealousy and envy, I have always just been happy for other people when good things happen for them. Jealousy is a young man's practice anyway. Lol

U the man !! Open to growth!! Never too late!!
This whole LP is Playlist worthy
This is an amazing song. Glad to see you enjoy it.
I have seen this video a million times and just now realized that the license plate on the car says LIFESTYLE haha. Great reaction
SOAD is like if Joey Jordison’s drumming creativity was turned into lyrics, if that makes sense. it’s creative, it’s mesmerizing, it’s beautiful. You feel Joey’s double basses in your soul like how you feel Serj’s lyrics.
System of a Down is an amazing band. Keep ‘em coming. Check out their song S.C.I.E.N.C.E
Love this band. Most songs need be listened twice. What a great band. Every song rocks. Check out the song with Serg and Mike Patton. It's on a movie soundtrack.

Do Prison Song
More System !!! 🤘
I’ve seen both bands 3 times and I agree they are both full of deep and powerful meaning and kill it live.

Rock music has all those elements and then some, which is why it's easy for me to relate.
SOAD-Innervision or Lost in Hollywood 🤘
Love this band.They remind me of another great group that called it quits.
Rage Against the Machine. Check out "Down Rodeo" or "Bulls on Parade"
These guys were so strangely gifted .it's mind boggling
I used to try to figure out what these lyrics meant...then I read an Interview with Serg were he said it doesn't mean anything they just wrote a bunch of stuff down that sounded cool.
It clearly has a meaning
Pearl Jam, 'Even Flow'
that's a door to something else you may have missed.... Pearl Jam's 'Ten'
is one of the greatest albums ever produced imho
and throws you right into the grunge period, where Nirvana lies waiting for you, deep inside a dark place

Always love System of a Down’s intensity. Also one of my karaoke favorites 😅
I've seen this video bunches, but I just noticed that the photographer looks just like Robert Downey Jr., yet no credits are given.
I think you’ll like the Prison Song by SOAD! It’s got a good message in it
I saw them back in the day on an incredible lineup with Body Count, Kid Rock, Korn and Metallica at the old original Mile High Stadium in Denver. System of a Down definitely held their own.
I grew up with rock and roll in heavy metal. Now I listen to all genres of music

This song is surprisingly me and my mom’s favorite System of a Down song, i can’t believe I actually said my mom’s but it is
I like your reactions man, keep on rocking!

This is basically a perfect rock/metal song
"Car songs are a while other level, i will blast music that i am passionate about ❤
This is a kick @ss song !!!!
Late as usual. I have always loved the opening lines "life is a waterfall, we are one in the river and then one after the fall". Deep lyrics.
Bro the immediate stank face says it all, great song 🤙🏽
yess
Masterpiece album
I used to have a portion of this song as a ringtone. Problem was I wouldn't answer the call because I wanted to hear the song 😅
The song you want from NIN in 4Runner is Even Deeper. Same album, but totally different vibe. Also engineered by Dr. Dre 😙👌
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a little stank face action to a song lol
I appreciate that SOAD finds their own lane when making their music and point. - Now is that kid an Inbred or Hybrid? Peace!!
Some bands imitate , Some bands innovate....System, Tool, Rush, Floyd....Masters of innovation
You gotta get to some Def Tones, Maybe start with Passanger, featuring Maynard.
Tool, System of a Down and APC are almost the only rock/metal bands I can listen to constantly
Who is APC. I know AIC but not APC. I must be drawing a blank. I will feel like a moron if you tell me.

Dope intro. We rock with cause we like u and your insight, no apology ever needed...if some people dont like u fuk em. Lol
This is a great reaction.
The positivity :) wow
You definitely gotta check out Question! and Spiders by SOAD if liked this!
a mature and nice review
Free Your Mind!!!
Please review their song Lost in Hollywood or the song Sad Statue you will not regret either choice. 👊🏼

Prison song!!!
idk how to say this but like all soad songs have REALLY deep meaning

Have you reacted to any Nine Inch Nails? Closer would be an interesting reaction from you 😂 love the channel!
If you are digging SOAD you should check out Daron Malakian's other band Scars on Broadway, I recommend "Whoring Streets"
Hey man thanks for the reactions I've been enjoying your channel lately. You might like SOAD lost in Hollywood.
You need to hear their Lonely Day.
