I love the piano thrown in. A lot of us SOAD fans have been listening to these songs for potentially decades now, so it's not like we're missing anything from a song we've heard a thousand times.
System of a Down-Questions! You won’t be disappointed
YES
second this !
3rd this one. Beautiful harmonies in this song.
Questions is my fav SOAD song! :)
Yes please!
The sound of his improvisations on the piano gave me heavy Silent Hill vibes. The scales and keys that he worked with inside the song built an eerie, tense, and almost melancholy atmosphere that was cool to hear. I think the addition of David's melody would elevate it live if he got the chance!
Hope we'll have Aerials coming up in this five, great song
Definitely!!!
100% should do a piano cover of this song!
Produced by the great Sylvia Massey who also produced the first Tool record. She is an absolute genius mad scientist.
She is! I love her
Nope. Produced by Rick Rubin. All of their albums are produced by Rick
@@goranh624 yeah she didn't produce it but she did engineer specifically this song, Spiders, as well as some of their other stuff
I think with what we know about RR that whoever was the engineer probably had much more to do with how the songs sound than he does lol
I am so happy that spiders was picked. This is my no 1 SOAD track. I love playing bass to this, there is so much dynamic energy in the sound and the way you move around when you play it (if that makes sense)
I just learnt the bass to this song and that riff at the start is so amazing to just pick up and play I love it
Listening to you play along is a highlight - I’ve heard the song a thousand times it’s awesome to watch it come alive again for someone else
Oh I’m so glad you’re reacting to this one!!! Spiders doesn’t get enough love. Really excellent display of his vocal talent and just a good feel for the band overall.
Bass guitar is like janitorial services. You don't realize when they are there, but you definitely notice their absence.
YES
"You should give me shit for it, but just know that I don't care." Hahaha, what a boss.
It's so funny watching David play about and get incredibly close to Serj's solo songs. One sounded very similar to "Lie, Lie, Lie"
also, any shit people give you boosts you in the algorithm, so... bring it on!
Screw anybody that gives you shit for playing along. That's why we watch you.
I love when you play along with the band. I'm amazed that you can pick it up so quickly. You have a good ear. I'm jealous. My grandma had the same natural ability. I'm glad you don't care what the hater's say. I love your reactions and the education that you provide. Keep up the good work and keep being you.
You are a nice human
I'm from France and I love this content, it powers up my english and help me to analyse a song i love so much. Thank you
I'm a bit surprised by the song-choices so far. Not that these are bad, but not the most common choices, when someone reacts to System of a down. 😊
the less common the better ... the famous ones are played too much .. and again and again and again....
He's starting from the beginning, these were the two biggest tracks off that first album. Makes perfect sense.
@@xRamZx
I know, but he only does 5. My guess was
Sugar, Chop Suey, Toxicity, Aerials, BYOB.
So he might not check BYOB or Aerials? You can't do that. 😉
@@wolfgangengel4835 gotta focus on the progression of sound
Bangers gonna bang
I come to these partly to hear how they sound along with your keyboard. Keep doing what makes this channel unique, and solid picks this week!
The reason for the c minor all the time is due to them using Drop C tuning :) I am sure someone else has pointed that out before but thought I would say :)
I think David would LOVE Serj Tankians original songs, such as Empty Walls and other of his composer stuff ❤
Holy fuck I'm so glad I've came across your content, god bless you for doing what you're doing!
Impossible to not have fun seeing you having so much fun with the keyboard
chop suey is fun to pick apart because there are so many layers and instruments also its their most popular song
your reactions of SOAD are the best,,,you're talent is just woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwww😍 i want to cry every time you do that piano accompaniments🥲❤❤❤
I think I need to hear a full piano cover of this song now...I always knew I loved this song more than most of their stuff but hearing the chords come out more clearly on piano elevated it even further
It's so weird seeing this old video of Serj with dreads. This song was in the Scream 3 movie back in the day. "I don't know what happened to my keyboard. God did that." Hahaha!
Starset - Bringing It Down
These piano parts sound sooo great!!! Would be awesome to have songs covered like this by you! Many people would pay for this
9:16 It sounds like Knocking at you backdoor from Deep Purple. Hahaha
This song was so damn good. Just a whole vibe, and I love the vocals on it. Just something haunting and amazing about it. I also love the song Suggestions from this album (their self-titled/early stuff).
That change in the bridge is very common to hear on their songs. Its like their far european- Armenian influence and it sounds always awesome!!!
Not a very typical SOAD song but still one of my favourites 💚 the intensity at the end...
Definitely listen to “Questions” by System my friend! You’ll love it! :)
You need somthing like 20 by them to understand them more
Need to think Middle Eastern kinda folk music when listening to System.
Super happy I stumbled across your channel really entertaining and I just love watching people play piano especially when you can just hear it and play the shit out of it!
This is my all time favourite song. My previous favourites were #3 Bullet With Butterfly Wings, then #2 Creep (Stone Temple Pilots). Didn't think anything could be better than them.
Bit late, but give a listen to Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, and Leadbelly. Different genre entirely but if you're a rocker or metal head you'll love them, I know I did.
Love Love Love it David!- Next five by Coheed and Cambria! They will not dissapoint
@@gellister Thats awesome. Im the exact opposite though. I like those albums but My favorite albums are Second stage, and in keeping secrets.
I realize the way I put it was weird so just to be clear. My album preferences from top to bottom are:
Good Apollo Vol 1
In Keeping Secrets
Afterman Ascension
Afterman Descension
Good Apollo Vol 2
Vaxis
Second Stage
Year of The Black Rainbow
Color Before
The more their music has prog rock infused into it but not purely prog rock over an album, the better it works for me.
@@gellister ah! I see. We are the same. Those are my least two favorite albums too. My order is different but a coheed fan is a coheed fan! I love that everything they do is so different from what other bands do. There really is no other band that is similar and they have been my favorite band for 17 years. And their live performances are out of this world incredible! Keep rockin!👊
I love that you have Spiders over other "hits" . Super underrated composition. Hi Dave😃
I really liked your explanation of the change from natural minor to harmonic minor, its neat to see that applied in a song I know well!
Someone should have a channel called "take out the bass", so we can all watch the sad reactions, lol. I love the additional keys talent BTW!
This is a great and valuable analysis, keep up the good work
8:55 "God did that!"
It's the magic of the moment
as a bassist, I’m very happy with what you said at the beginning David. thanks
My fav song from them. 🖤
The Bob Villa cameo got me.
This song is so awesome... Video as well....
Damn, how com I have JUST found you now?! This format is so much FUN! Imma watch all your videos now. It's happening. It's done. Subscribed like a mad man too, you may have felt that. Jesus, what a good job you do with these videos, holy shit. So much fun :)
Boom, turned on the notifications too. And you got Busta Rhymes videos too?! Oh hell yea.
The 5 by is a great idea. Another band that deserves a 5 by is HIM..thanks in advanced
Also I love your playing! Your mind in the music is awesome to watch! I wish you were my college music teacher!!
Loved all the flourishes you added in today 🍻
one of my favorites of theirs
hahahahahaha, dude, I'm in love with your channel. Such a goofy guy, an amazing musician... Looots of love from Brazil!
Rock on! I LOVE BRAZIL!!!!
I’m glad you don’t care, because what you play is beautiful.
"Just know i dont care" this cat is a boss and im glad i found this dude sick classic track
before I gave up learning guitar I used to play this song a lot on my "nylon-stringed-acoustic-guitar" (i dunno how it's called in english.. classic guitar? dunno) ; but i love this song.
the kinda melancholic vibe that is actually very good to listen to. :)
Idk how I stumbled on this guy, but I fucking instantly subbed lmao
Glad I found this channel, there was only 1 good reaction channel on the entire website before, but now there's 2.
The producer of this debut album is Rick Rubin. He is a really great person and a very very very talented producer.
Not only of this debut. He produced all 5 System of a down albums.
@@wolfgangengel4835 yes, I know, just wrote like this ))
One of the best highlights for bass guitar in recent music is the song Seeman by Rammstein. The bass line is what drives the song.
FACTS! Bass guitar players get such little love. Well the exception is Flea from RHCP
Truth
And Claypool from Primus
LOATHE-A sad cartoon! next! Biggest band in the world. The tone and atmosphere is so unique
Speaking of production, I heard somewhere that Sylvia Massy decided to hang Serj upside down to record vocals for Spiders, which resulted in Serj's fainting while doing this
She does that crazy stuff that Sylvia! She’s amazing and super crazy. Totally of the box.
I LOVE THE THEORY IN THIS ONE!!! 😍😍😍😍 THANK YOU!!!
You’re welcome Gabe!
Oh hell yeah a great pick! Literally any song you can do from them is a masterpiece. So you have done two from the self tittled, you should do 2 for toxicity album (aerials and toxicity imo) and the last one should be b.y.o.b
with piano this song sounds incredible, thanks a lot
omg please do Forest!!! the chorus of that song live was amazing, the entire arena singing along.
I love this song so much, a good one to listen to is prison song it makes u think...also holy mountains hits hard through the ears and in the feels
Love your piano improv there, would like to hear a cover of this song by you.
Suggestions for next 5 by:
Apocalyptica - Any song to get familiar with.
Apocalyptica feat. Corey Taylor - I'm Not Jesus
Apocalyptica feat. Lacey Strum - Broken Pieces
Apocalyptica feat. Adam Gontier - I don't Care
Apocalyptica feat. Jacoby Shaddix - White room
Any thoughts?
Yes, he'd LOVE Apocalyptica.
Don’t forget I’m not strong enough feat. Brent Smith. They have so many good songs though
Hall of the Mountain King!! They completely remade that song into something new.
@@flamefox5000 Definitely collaboration with Brent - "Not Strong Enough" is worth mentioning! Shine down!
Really becoming a fan of your channel! Keep it up bro!
P.S. our ordinary rubric named "react to Spiritbox - The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound"
Yes please do this!!!
Add B.Y.O.B. and make this the first time you add a bonus track to your "5 by" series. Trust.
scratch that. They have so many more. Do a "Double 5by" 10 songs! Magine??
You really should play keyboard with them I just love what you're doing !
Great choice
Hey David, are they bangers maybe? And are they, oh I don’t know, banging?
I’m a total dork
Bro hit the Tool switch on the keyboard XD
Me: *High as fuck
God: *Chages the keyboard sound
This video reminds me of "Krull" (1983):" more specifically the scene with the "widow of the Web"
Empty Walls!!
I'm an expert on Tool since I have heard like 4 songs of them
God did that
This is good stuff man.
should check out dreaming by them. The vocal harmony and counter harmonies are weird but majestic
U are great reactor and musician. More SOAD for sure
Aerials and Question! are 2 amazing ones you should check
Serj did guest appear for Tool in 2007 to sing along to Tool's song Sober. The vid is on RUclips somewhere
I’m glad you’ve picked one of the musically impressive songs rather than one more known for … memes? Levity? Politics? I love SOAD but some songs are more worthy of analysis than others. Spiders is beautiful
Hell you could do a solid 5 from just that album. It's perfect.
Honestly, your first little improv sounds like something from the soundtrack of Halo 3: ODST. Very nice
SOAD ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Produced by Rick Rubin and mixed by D. Sardy
I really hope to see Cold spotlighted here. They were ahead of their time and amazing.
8:46 sir please you should do a version of the song based on that sound
I wonder if bands like this actually go "Hey, let's try the C harmonic scale for this bit". Or do they just play around and see what sounds cool?
don't forget to thank the mighty jingles
Good job, I love System Of a Down, I was 13 years old when I start listen them :) Greetings from Poland.
ps. Meybe try make System of a down - question (piano version) on cam ? :)
I don't care if you play piano in between. It whats makes you unique!
Great song
I would listen to a whole album of you playing keys over SOAD songs tbh
Would love to hear
Question!
Toxicity
Aerials
BYOB
Great analysis, David!
Was that a picture of Bob Villa?
You should watch their concert in Yerevan. If you know the story of SOD it will send chills down your spine
Awesome!
