"This is not predictable, this is something completely different"
That pretty much sums up SOAD.
In my opinion, that's the best part of SOAD!
It’s definitely serj making the low guttural sound while slipping up into head voice. Such amazing dynamics when they started. He avoids all that now, as he’s gotten a bit older.
Yeah Daron and the bass player tend to do it live now. Serj is very protective of his voice
There is no "head" voice after the growl. Its his real high voice.
@@DJFalkoHannover you are actually both right. :) it is his full voice and the tail is actually a little head voice(falsetto or whatever you wanna call it) specifically on the word ""play" :)
Him avoiding that, has a lot to do with why there's been no new album. I think he cares a lot more about his solo career. When you look at the songs they recorded during the Toxicity session, and which didn't make the album, it was all the ones where Daron got a lot of backing vocals. Then, by Mesmerize/Hypnotise, suddenly Daron is doing way more vocals, and is way too loud in the mix on a lot of the songs. Deffo a power shift that Serj wasn't happy with
@@ashscott6068 not sure but i think over the years i started do like darons voice over serjs
Spiders is a really gorgeous song if you want to hear Serj's voice and lonely day is great if you want to hear the guitarists voice, he has a beautiful voice too.
Radio/video is good for both singers
Don't forget Lonely Day! Written by Daron Malakian (Guitarist) and his vocals are very, very good on this track
Love this band but I dont know if I would consider his voice *beautiful* or *gorgeous*
@@Colphin he has an own porject, called "daron malakian and scars on broadway" you should check it out ^^
Dude, you totally caught me off guard with the growl!
Well done, right?
Right!
for real, soft spoken voice yet that growl was heavy and deep lol... almost like he knows what hes doing
Your own guttural growl there was very precise and on target. Someone's been practicing
It's easy to practice with a friend. Poke your cat and imitate him/her after they give you the look of dissapointment.
Would love for you to check out their songs that show off their singing more. “ATWA” is a good choice, or “Radio/Video” which shows off Daron’s neat singing skills.
Man, i love ATWA
System Of A Down always impresses me with their social conscience and tight sound. Great reaction, Ken!
Ken, you are such a lovely person!
I appreciate the tangent on the whole “shadow side”. I can relate to that. Often I like to connect to that anger in music even when I may not necessarily be feeling angry. But it still feels good to scream sing. I know you know what I mean.
I suspect the song he's talking about is 46&2 by tool. Ken reacts to a cover of that song on this channel
I would love to see your reaction to I-E-A-I-A-I-O. Now THAT is a lyrically brilliant song!
If I remember correctly most of the music was composed by the guitarist Daron but he needed something else to add to it. Shavo the bass player had that interlude riff prepared and showed it to Daron and it fit so well with the rest of the song that they kept it.
only applies for this song only or for most of their songs in general ? 🤔
@@sipenarekbecha7193 Just this song, not sure about others on the same album.
YOU DID THE SONG! I am so happy I get to start out my day with this. Thank you.
Amongst the millions things I adore about Serj, he's actually always heard during every heavy sets in all songs in comparison with majority alternative and more heavy bands I was listening back in those times
Thanks for coming back to System of a Down. It's a unique ride each song. A different art, a new fact and perspective to chew. They just have an ability to just reach in and pull out something inside you that you've felt for a long time and shove it in your face saying....you're welcome....now deal with it and don't you dare shove it back inside! If and when you ever decide to come back to analyze another one of their songs, I recommend, 'Question'. (I want to suggest Radio/Video for the harmonies but Question is just something else entirely and I think you'll enjoy it).
Lost in Hollywood or Questions! is your go to for some beautiful voices
Holy Mountains is a must react!
Yes! One of my favorite SOAD songs. I'm so glad I got to see them live.
Someone already mentioned it, but the song you were trying to remember, about integrating your 'shadow self' was 46 & 2 by Tool. And I will mirror the other requests by suggesting Radio/Video and Holy Mountain. Another one that I don't see mentioned very often, but shows off the 'lovely' vocals of Serj, is Question. Great reaction, as always. :)
This has to be the most underrated album ever made. Everyone claims Toxicity is their best they've done but it's not even close. It's self-titled by a mile.
More System Of A Down PLEASE )
I have only watched a couple of your videos so far and today I learned that you have phenomenal vocal control. Which may be a no brainer, but you still deserve props for it.
A lot of things from 10+ years ago seem more relevant today than they did then.
Your comment about musicians feeling angry lately resonates with me. I have several friends who were accomplished musicians and recording engineers with Grammy's on their shelf or Platinum on their walls, who are now doing live sound and grateful to have work. 30 years ago, when I started working in the industry, they were still doing live recording in studio with musicians together in the same room. The industry has changed incredibly and contemporary music has suffered.
tool - 46&2 is the song about your shadow self.
Yay! SOAD!! If you ever get a chance, as others have said, "Radio/Video" is a great one to check. I'd also like to add "Question!" C:
You have a way with words.... So does this band. Great album! ❤️
Soad is one of my fav bands, i iove this song ! I love every song cause they are all amazing ! Greatings from germany ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Diese Kommentarsektion ist nun Teil der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
what I love the most about Sugar and other songs like it is how it follows the basic scheme of stuff like limerick songs where we go chorus > verse that descends into absurdity > chorus >...
Back in 1998 that was Serj's growl. In 2022 he leaves the guttural growls to Daron the guitar player. This song has had more meaning to me over the last 2 years than it did when I was in High School. Great reaction video!
Forest is a true showcase of Serjs quirks and voice
Very interesting your comment about unexpected anger coming up from unknown sources. I 'm noticing a general trend of anger and impatience in many areas of society. Interesting times. Thanks for all you do! Good to see you here.
The guitarist, Daron Malawian, is the one saying sugar. When you hear harmonies or a higher pitch voice speaking that’s him.
You should definitely listen to the performance Serj does with the orchestra. It's amazing!
I recorded this to vhs when it was first released. Classical band
Yess he is doing it
Ken,I just wanted to say ,Ive seen a lot of "classical people" with a superiority complex. Your openness ,and ability to enjoy other genres is refreshing .Im telling you , I appreciate you , Bro!
Id recommend "Straight out The Gate" its a rap song, but Serj sings the corus, and Tech N9ne really has a lot to learn and explain from his verses
Great song! If you ever do another Chris Cornell song, I highly recommend the 2010 live version of When I'm Down.
Yes he did the growls
There is still some songs of SOAD you can react that i would love to see: Chop Suey(you did a cover of this before btw), Toxicity, Aerials, Hypnotize, Spiders, Lonely Day, Soldier Side, ATWA, Radio/Video, Question. If its too much one of the first five.
Finally! Waited a long time for this breakdown. Thanks Ken!
Mr. Lavigne I wish you a happy new year here from Germany!
So good!! you need to do "Hasta que te conocí" by Juan Gabriel in Bellas Artes, is just amazing!
The low grunt sound is him saying "who" the lyrics are "who can believe You?"
him saying hes got a gun in his pocket and its cute and small and then saying he essentially beats his partner is referring to the statistics that have shown that majority of domestic abusers are cops. thats also why a cop is saying it in the music video !!
and him talking about kombucha mushroom people in the chorus parts is referring to the health nut people that never actually discuss the issues going on in the world and contribute and work for the system. the mushroom part is in reference to the cloud from an atomic bomb.
Your aside on musicians feeling angry was not only relatable, but also got me wondering about how different styles of music can seem to limit which emotions are 'acceptable' to express. If you're a pop or jazz singer, is there space to express anger in your music without alienating the audience? I'm not as familiar with those styles, so I truly don't know.
One of my favorite musicians is Devin Townsend, and a big reason why is he's one of the few heavy metal guys who's willing to write songs or even entire albums about love and peace and trying to be a better person. If you want to hear something heavy and uplifting, check out his song "Spirits Will Collide." :)
ken, i subbed probably the first tool video. your voice is elite tier at least and your takes on modern music imo is fantastic. keep it up. love the videos.
I love your hair and your eyes in the way it matches your shirt Ken 😘🥂🎶🎵🖤🖤🖤
You should totally check out the band leprous. They have some sick vocals in songs like castaway angels or their live version of slave 💯
Take a look Faith no more's "Evidence" and Mike Patton's voice!
If you really want to hear both voices, listen to hypnotize 😊
So happy you did this song!!!
Man i want to delete soad from my memory so i could listen it for the first time again :D
I’d love to hear your take on Our Lady Peace - Superman’s Dead.
Should really react to "War" also from their first album... it's algo a great serj showdown
Great stuff! MORE System of a Down. Also check out Protest the Hero.
I am so sad that I NEVER see people request pth. They are absolutely incredible and so damn underrated.
Lost in Hollywood is phenomenal
Great videos! From a new Aussie fan.
Nice that you are doing System Of the Down
Spiders and Lonely Day are more vocally isolated. Check them out!
No the acknowledgement and integration of our darker halves, to accept them and understand the usually actually seeking love reason they exist is how I feel we become self actualised.
EDIT: Run. On. Sentence.
Jam Baxter - The Stump
Similar topic, I think you may get it.
psychotic catharsis. yes, ken. you've done it again
Have you ever heard of Igorrr? Ieud is my favourite song from them
Ive been trying to explain the music i listen to, especially seeing it live, that just lets me go of all my shit!!! I can yell at myself, bury some burdens, and just feel free, and calm!! Happy as well!!
This is very fitting for what is going on right now!!
you should react to I-E-A-I-A-I-O by System of a Down, I find that it has a diverse type of singing styles, opera etc, would be curious on your take by it
They are born from earlier punk band, The Dead Kennedys. Obvious to us old school. Especially vocals
This was an amazing cover🔥 I see with your style it would fit perfectly to you to do a cover of Play Time by October Ends 😍 I'm obssesed with it at the moment!!
LOVE SOAD!!!!!!💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
If you think Serj's vocals are crazy in this. You gotta hear their songs Deer Dance, and I-E-A-I-A-I-O
5:40 holy that caught me off guard lol
I mean duh, he’s a vocal coach No wonder he can growl but still, that was unexpected haha
I listen to system of a down every day I think I'm insane
Ur not insane but u have been hypnotized to system like me and millions of other people
Haha loved the ending wisdom ✨
Please do suggestions ! No one has done that . And in my opinion it’s a powerful vocal performance
You should listen to their song Needles
Yes it is Serj making those noises.
more so the day after the eclipse reavent as hel💥💥💥😎😎😎
You should react to badflower- promise me. Great videos by the way keep up the great work👍
Hey Ken, have you done "I'm not a Vampire Revamped" by Falling in Reverse yet?
You should give some country a shot. Chris Stapleton's " Tennesse Whiskey" is great.
You should really check out Hanabie. All female guttural metal band from Japan
While SOAD is my all-time favourite (esp Spiders, Holy Mountain, I-E-A-I-A-I-O), if you get the chance you should check out some of the songs by Einar Selvik (from Wardruna, esp Vikings suite) and Corpo-Mente (Igorrr and Laure Le Prunenec duo).
I just watched the voice play oogie boogie man video and if you want to here another subharmonic bass singer I suggest Ken Turner sing rainbow of love
Please, Please, PLEASE do "ATWA"
You NEED to do Serj Tankian feat.Tina Guo - Moonhearts in Space!
Yep
I think Shavo, the bassist , is making the growl. Also please react to Ne Obliviscais
Off topic but If you haven’t ever done rage against the machine please do!!
You should react to system of a down question
Don't stop your philosophical ramble. That's what makes it interesting alongside your knowledge in music and singing of course. I know this song by heart so the quality of this video really comes from what you have to say. I think this content is kinda niche anyway so it might just fit if you analyse and tell us what your thinking process is. At least that's what I think. Anyway have a great live peace.
The song itself is about consumerism
Please please a song from the smiths. "This charming man" or "trouble loves me" from Morrissey!!!!
SHHHHUGAAHHH
Do Spiders next!!!
When insanity becomes reality, the madman becomes king. I missed listening to System of a Down.
Can you please react to Tool - H.
Request for
1.Vencente fernandez - el Rey
2.Dragonforce - through the fire and the flames
3. Vitas
Thank you!
Please do Man in the Box - Alice in Chains. Great range on that song.
Nice gentleman, got 2 gems to suggest to thee: HOIST THE COLOURS from VOICEPLAY, their best work yet. Unforgettable. And a Brazilian diamond in the rough, Dan Vasc rendition of "burn butcher burn" from the netflix' the Witcher series. This dude will go places....
In my mind, this song is about the radicalization of people, getting information from echo chambers that confirm what in their mind they think is right. Then at the end, the chant that it all goes away is a message of ignoring that it keeps happening and we are doing nothing about it till at the end you see the nuke going off which is the consequence. Great reaction by the way.
Waiting for some Antimatter reactions - or Ulver :D
Mind. if you want to see him be a badass. react to MIND
