Much true. Few bands have that power with vocals and a uniqueness to the whole. The only other example that comes to mind is Incubus (tho admittedly being a different...concept in and of itself).
System Of A Down released 5 legendary records between 1998 and 2005. They didn't release new music since then but the fanbase has growing stronger over the years.
Serj and daron both had solo careers as well. Serj produced 3 albums and daron's 'Scars on Broadway' band produced 3 or 4 albums. Should check them out, some of it's different..
I hope they don’t get back together. It would be so damn depressing if they didn’t live up to the expectations which are now beyond anyones limitations. Let the legends stay legends.
Jamel, Jamel, Jamel...your channel should be blowing up. Multiple songs from the same artist (great artists, smart choices), reviewed with enthusiasm and an open mind, and dude, I can't tell you how many of my favorites you've reintroduced me to in the last 6 months. Appreciate what you do, and hope that you'll keep doing it your way. 100K is coming, and hoping for 1M like my man NoLifeShaq. Good luck, brother!
Thank you brother for your apology though not needed. Your appreciation of metal comes across in every video and we appreciate it. Metal is not noise!!!!!!! Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution!!!!!
Story time. This is my favorite SOAD song if I had to pick just one, for the simple fact that it brings me back to a time and place that isn’t even real. I was at this point in my life where I faced two roads. One of them chasing after a person who I loved dearly but was in active addiction, and the other the painful road of walking away. Ultimately I chose the latter, but this whole scenario played out in my mind if I had chosen to go down the dark path with this person, and for whatever reason this song was the soundtrack that just brings me back so vividly to when I made that decision to walk away (it’s sunset, I’m driving down Gum Spring Road, it’s the first chilly day of October). But I knew deep down that road would lead to death. And in a way that’s what the song is about. Just sitting in your car, waiting for your significant other, blind to all else going on in the world. For a long time this was the only song I knew how to play on guitar, and funny enough, years after walking away from the person I loved, I decided to do some volunteer work in Palestine. And the place where I stayed had a guitar. So there I sat on a rooftop in one of the most contentious places in the world playing Hypnotize by System of a Down, because I am not blind to all the things going on in the world, since I walked away from the thing that was hypnotizing me. All that to say, I love seeing people react to my favorite band and appreciate their depth. Keep on.
Years ago, my now husband (then boyfriend) used to pick up me up from work and every day he would blast this song. Together we came to a moment when we had to make a choice in which direction we were going to go in life. This song is a piece of the soundtrack of my life as well. I find it kismet that people would have serious life moments that a specific song would be on their soundtrack and it be the same. I wish you all the best. in life.
Empty walls is the only song i've heard from serj's solo career and it's pretty great. But honestly i prefer whoring streets by daron and scars on broadway.
System is just the coolest band out there man. Everything about them just says cool. They also have the best fan base. They GET IT at live concerts haha. It’s great.
React to some Deftones for sure. Everyone usually only reacts to Change or Digital Bath. Those are great songs to start with but they have a diverse catalog of songs. Root Be Quiet and Drive Elite Beauty School
I was suggesting 2 heavy songs and 2 melodic songs, or whatever you would call them. Also, old and new tracks. 7 words, engine no.9, head up are great songs. You could ask 100 deftones fans for 4 tracks and you would probably get 100 different combinations
Highway Song, i-e-a-i-a-i-o, Mr. Jack, Roulette. In a lot of ways these guys are very similar to Rage against the Machine. Great reactions, love your vids. I hope you watch more of these guys
Deftones are amazing and a genre on their own! Check out their songs Change, Rosemary, Royal or Cherry Waves (all from different albums), i will stay tuned for more!
As someone who has been watching many of your vids lately, THIS is the video where you earned my sub. Great job and I thouroughly enjoy watching your reactions.
Deftones You've seen the Butcher Deftones Bored Deftones Change Many others are great, but these are my favorites. Great rythm section on the guitar and powerful vocals and lyrics are on point
You gotta try out Serj's solo stuff! My personal favorite "Lie Lie Lie." If you're a Game of Thrones fan, he also did "Rains of Castemere" for the show.
My favorite song by them. I always wish it was longer - the harmonies and incredible change ups are just so insane. Great pick and reaction. Happy Thanksgiving 💜🙏😻💜
Not sure what i am enjoying more, your reactions to all these songs and bands, your introduction to these bands or me revisiting all these great songs and bands again like i am also listening to them for the first time. Either way loving the videos brother
Anytime I get on a “reaction” kick I always check your channel to see if you’ve seen a certain song I like. I don’t know what you do differently, but I freaking love your channel bro. Just awesome all around man.
Me and my old man were at this show. Our first SOAD concert in grand rapids. First time they ever played this song live and some of the first to hear it before the album dropped. They actually played it twice recording film for the video. Takes me back. Love your reaction vids man
I'm normally watching David Attenborough documentaries or some story about people who have broke the twine of normalcy at this point of my buzz. Here I am. You kick ass at this.
Loved loved the System of a Down reactions I really think you should dive back into some Chris Cornell now I know you love his voice but dive way back in the early 90s with the sound garden days there's some great life performances at pinkpop songs like Rusty Cage slaves and bulldozers and Jesus Christ pose I guarantee you will not be disappointed and his vocals are always on point whether it's alive or not you'll get to see the young version of Cornell
Hard rock and metal fans are a very accepting bunch. Don't matter what you look like, how old you are, where you are from or anything like that. I'm enjoying your reactions to a varied range in music. I'm glad that there are open mind reactors, like you in this world.
you gotta check out the mastodon music videos. great music and hilarious music videos. Steambreather , clandestiny , curl of the burl , the motherload , the high road. All amazing music videos.
I enjoy that you actually appreciate the music for what it is. No matter what genre or how weird it gets. You find something to be like "yes, I like that."
this was the first song i heard of SOAD and one of the first metal songs i got into, along with some Sonata Arctica and In Flames songs, around 15 years ago now probably, still one of my all time favourite songs
Love your vids man. I get what you were saying towards the end. I grew up metal first, hip hop second. I love every bit of rap from pac to g herbo to nip, but nothin hits like some solid metallica, slipknot, or system. There is just something so synthetic and artificial about hip hop, metal is just so fucking RAW🤘🤘the instruments just give it life where a beat mix cant.
serj tankain is the lead singer with the long curly hair he composed and wrote most of the songs as far as ive been told, he dissbanded them and formed a solo act does the odd full band live every few years
I love your reaction man! So genuine lol Check out Serj Tankian(singer of System) solo stuff he did after they broke up. Empty walls is a really really good song!
Hey much so much for your apology, I can't tell u how many times I would be headbanging and people would look at me like I was crazy , but now you know why, because your open minded and decided to let the music take u where it may
Apologize accepted and i totally understand it, I thought the same in one moment and i apologized myself to a friend that burn my head to dive in SOAD's music, thanks for the video.
Развлечения
I appreciate how you post a bunch of reactions in one sitting of the same artist. No one else does it like that
👍🏾
Precisely.
And also doesn't talk over the music or pause a lot which is great
@@jeremyfalkner9223 most pauses are to get around the algorithm copyright thing. Nearly all do it.
agreed, it's so much better when they can appreciate the best of a discography at one time
Serj Tankian is one of the greatest singers of today. And whole band is just uniqueness
Much true. Few bands have that power with vocals and a uniqueness to the whole. The only other example that comes to mind is Incubus (tho admittedly being a different...concept in and of itself).
He is one of my favorites. He has one of the most unique voices I think I've heard.
he really is
Yeah, his voice is unique and awesome
I would agree but I can’t listen to his solo albums for some reason however SOAD is my favorite band of all time
I highly recommend digging into the lyrics of all these songs. They have shit to say.
System Of A Down released 5 legendary records between 1998 and 2005. They didn't release new music since then but the fanbase has growing stronger over the years.
Serj and daron both had solo careers as well. Serj produced 3 albums and daron's 'Scars on Broadway' band produced 3 or 4 albums. Should check them out, some of it's different..
They're only in their 40's, hopefully they put aside their differences and produce more good music in System.
@@rocketxxv3096 it's not happening. Unfortunately.
I'm coming from the future to tell you that they have 2 new songs
I hope they don’t get back together. It would be so damn depressing if they didn’t live up to the expectations which are now beyond anyones limitations. Let the legends stay legends.

Thanks Shane🙏🏾
I was just thinking to myself why he doesn't have at least 1 M subscribers already. I will be recommending you for sure.
Seriously, most reactors just skim the surface of a genre, he does a deep dive on every band. It's the best.
paloma aguirre I Appreciate you🙏🏾
El Bruce 👍🏾
SOAD - Prison Song
SOAD - ATWA
SOAD - Shame
And Soldier Side..
That Song is deep in such a Straight way
Also I would add Deer Dance by SOAD
Deer dance please!
Shame? Are you serious lol
Lonely Day
Thank you brother for your apology though not needed. Your appreciation of metal comes across in every video and we appreciate it. Metal is not noise!!!!!!! Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution!!!!!
modern pop is noise pollution
the lead singer name is Serj Tankian, he has a solo career. You should listen to the songs. Empty walls - sky is over - gate 21 - harakiri.
system has been my favorite for many many years ... listening to em on my discman in the schoolbus lol
Another 20 year man!!!! Batteries were worth more than gold in those days
@@barrydunham896 yup lol

That is a hell of a story. Thank you for sharing.
The harmonies and combination of Serj and Daren's voices are just bliss
Hey man, You gotta love the Armenian style of music. They go from melodic to insanely fast. That's the way it is.
Soad was my first red pill. Question the Media, Question the government, Question everything and critically think.
If you like transitions try Question! by Soad
Serj has a solo career worth taking a look at. 'Empty Walls' would work.
Not to mention Daron's project, Scars on Broadway.
Hariki or Sky is Over least we forget
Empty walls is the only song i've heard from serj's solo career and it's pretty great. But honestly i prefer whoring streets by daron and scars on broadway.
This was blowing my mind: ruclips.net/video/QfCiad6Tm_E/видео.html
@@crisscrossam Serj does many thanks, for example film music. and he dont hunt for everyboy hearing him.
I'm obsessed with your reactions. So humble and open to other genres. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Spiders, Soldier Side, ATWA, Forest, Question, Prison Song, Cigaro.
So many great songs
They harmonize better than most bands
System is just the coolest band out there man. Everything about them just says cool.
They also have the best fan base. They GET IT at live concerts haha. It’s great.
The Eastern European influences in their music always reminds me of the music you hear at, Cirque du Soleil. SO GOOD!!!!!
You gotta check out Serj's solo career (lead singer).
Empty walls- Serj
Straight out the gate- Tech N9ne and Serj
Both songs are great
Its obvious when the musicians are as gifted and educated as them you can appreciate it in any culture
React to some Deftones for sure.
Everyone usually only reacts to Change or Digital Bath. Those are great songs to start with but they have a diverse catalog of songs.
Root
Be Quiet and Drive
Elite
Beauty School
Or "Headup"
Engine no 9 and 7 words
I was suggesting 2 heavy songs and 2 melodic songs, or whatever you would call them. Also, old and new tracks. 7 words, engine no.9, head up are great songs. You could ask 100 deftones fans for 4 tracks and you would probably get 100 different combinations
and Hexagram
Gotta do Knife Party surely
Highway Song, i-e-a-i-a-i-o, Mr. Jack, Roulette. In a lot of ways these guys are very similar to Rage against the Machine. Great reactions, love your vids. I hope you watch more of these guys
SPIDERS!!!
Forest, please)
You left one out.... Prison Song 🔥🔥
You want a message... that’s a strong one!!
Deftones are amazing and a genre on their own! Check out their songs Change, Rosemary, Royal or Cherry Waves (all from different albums), i will stay tuned for more!
SOAD!!!!! I’m on a reaction binge with your videos!!!
LOVE YOUR HONESTY AND OPEN MIND BROTHER!!!!!!!
Jamal is one of the few reaction RUclipsrs who actually produce their own content, and I really appreciate that.
As someone who has been watching many of your vids lately, THIS is the video where you earned my sub. Great job and I thouroughly enjoy watching your reactions.
Jamel, thank you for opening your mind to this type of music. Great respect brother \m/
My man, you are a pure soul. Your appreciation for music and other people’s taste is the exact reason I like you.
Deftones You've seen the Butcher
Deftones Bored
Deftones Change
Many others are great, but these are my favorites. Great rythm section on the guitar and powerful vocals and lyrics are on point
And Digital Bath
Knife Party
You gotta try out Serj's solo stuff! My personal favorite "Lie Lie Lie."
If you're a Game of Thrones fan, he also did "Rains of Castemere" for the show.
Always love this song for the haunting lyrics:
"She's scared that I will
Take her away from there.
Dreams and her country
Left with no one there"
My favorite song by them. I always wish it was longer - the harmonies and incredible change ups are just so insane. Great pick and reaction. Happy Thanksgiving 💜🙏😻💜
its wonderful to see a black man reviewing this kind of music....it shows we are all the same....
Huge RATM and SOAD Fan
Always share your videos with my friends and we love them, please please keep them coming 🙏
Not sure what i am enjoying more, your reactions to all these songs and bands, your introduction to these bands or me revisiting all these great songs and bands again like i am also listening to them for the first time. Either way loving the videos brother
The look on your face for this reaction is priceless. Love you, brother! Thank you!
Watching your awakening is a beautiful thing. You're a good man Jamel.

Anytime I get on a “reaction” kick I always check your channel to see if you’ve seen a certain song I like. I don’t know what you do differently, but I freaking love your channel bro. Just awesome all around man.
When I saw them live, they never took a single break. Song into song into song, etc for well over 2 hours...it was awesome(sound was so good too) ✌💚
Daron & serj are the vocalists since day one.
You're amazing bro. Can't stop procrastinating with all these SOAD reactions. 😂
you're officially my favorite reaction channel, you go from SOAD to Juan Gabriel in just two videos and I love it. keep it up my man.
This is for sure the best way to listen to songs I love.
Thanks Jamel for another one!
Thank you for doing my Favorite SOAD song so many to choose from like "Spiders" "Question!" n "Lonely Day" but this IMO their best
Me and my old man were at this show. Our first SOAD concert in grand rapids. First time they ever played this song live and some of the first to hear it before the album dropped. They actually played it twice recording film for the video. Takes me back. Love your reaction vids man
I'm normally watching David Attenborough documentaries or some story about people who have broke the twine of normalcy at this point of my buzz. Here I am. You kick ass at this.
Love your honest emotions..My fave SOAD song
Do Serj Tankian “empty walls”! Love your content Jamel!
Loved loved the System of a Down reactions I really think you should dive back into some Chris Cornell now I know you love his voice but dive way back in the early 90s with the sound garden days there's some great life performances at pinkpop songs like Rusty Cage slaves and bulldozers and Jesus Christ pose I guarantee you will not be disappointed and his vocals are always on point whether it's alive or not you'll get to see the young version of Cornell

This is a metal love song.
And watching your reactions to these videos made me really miss System of a Down.
Grettings from Venezuela!
Thank you again sir!
SOAD is a force of nature. Raw and beautiful at the same time.
I recommend Deftones - Passenger
you gotta check out the mastodon music videos. great music and hilarious music videos. Steambreather , clandestiny , curl of the burl , the motherload , the high road. All amazing music videos.
My daughter was born in 2005 and this literally was the only song that calmed her down at night. Kept me sane as well.
My favorite soad song!!! 😊 I always ALWAYS want it to be longer!!
Jamel doin the deep dive! I love it!
Daron Malakian's voice is otherworldly and his Armenian musical roots are just so cool.
Freaking *love* SOAD. And hell yes, Serj has incredible range.
Love these guys from second one when I heard them.
Me just waiting here for his reaction at 3:25, such a nice switch to the song. Love the drums in that part.
You are the Best
Saludos desde Nicaragua 🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮
I enjoy that you actually appreciate the music for what it is. No matter what genre or how weird it gets. You find something to be like "yes, I like that."
this was the first song i heard of SOAD and one of the first metal songs i got into, along with some Sonata Arctica and In Flames songs, around 15 years ago now probably, still one of my all time favourite songs
One of my top 10 bands ever;]
System of a down is
Serj Tankian:vocal
Daron Malakian:guitar
Shavo Odadjian:bass
Jhon Dolmayan:drum
Love your vids man. I get what you were saying towards the end. I grew up metal first, hip hop second.

Time/rhythm in music crosses all genres and appreciating how a musician plays with time helps me dig all genres.
serj tankain is the lead singer with the long curly hair he composed and wrote most of the songs as far as ive been told, he dissbanded them and formed a solo act does the odd full band live every few years
"Anything from them is good" - Jamel
Truer words have never been spoken
You know they have two new songs out 😁‼️
Serj Tankian is the lead singer for SOAD, but also has a solo album called Elect the Dead! It's a must!!!!
"Clutch"- Electric Worry (official video) It just needs to happen man, one of my favorite bands and this song rocks.
*Queens of the Stone Age: Go With the flow. Check it.*
One of my favorite bands! They're from Los Angeles, just like me!!!!
Love these guys ,thinking music with purposeful lyrics...picked up where RATM left off...we need more music like this.
Good reaction!!!
The voice of the guitarist actually hypnotized me
Yes is the same singer :) his great voice is unique !!
To watch you experience SOAD for the first time takes me WAAAAAAY back. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love your reaction man! So genuine lol Check out Serj Tankian(singer of System) solo stuff he did after they broke up. Empty walls is a really really good song!
Very humble response to learning about something new. Keep that bowl empty.
Serj is a hella underrated singer. One of the best alive IMO.
Their drummer is phenomenal.
Never get tired of watching you listen to good music man. Check out Machinehead - Davidian. I wonder what you'd think of it haha.
This is one of their best songs in my opinion!
Hey much so much for your apology, I can't tell u how many times I would be headbanging and people would look at me like I was crazy , but now you know why, because your open minded and decided to let the music take u where it may
I’d look into Serj’s solo stuff. Empty Walls gives me chills to this day.
Apologize accepted and i totally understand it, I thought the same in one moment and i apologized myself to a friend that burn my head to dive in SOAD's music, thanks for the video.
Deftones - 7 Words

My own summer.
I use to sing SOAD at kereoke night. They always got me the best reactions.
Respect bro ✌
