Hey grlfriend, I totally agree. "An open mind is a prerequisite to an open heart." Small minds will always lash out at what they dont understand. Take care, Peace
Seconding Question! as the next one, if you like the more melodic and less choppy. That song is more of this, but more refined as it came later in the discography.
You really might want to grab 'Spiders' music video - it is the song from their debut album. All the others that you have reacted to up to this point are from their second one called 'Toxicity'. There are loads of gems on their next ones believe me, they were only getting better and better. Start checking out their 'Steal This Album' stuff that followed 'Toxicity'. 'Innervision', 'BOOM!', 'Nuguns', 'Mr. Jack', 'I-E-A-I-A-I-O', 'Highway Song', 'Ego Brain' etc...
The whole Toxicity album was unbelievable. When it came out I was 16 an I literally just couldn’t listen to anything else for almost 6 months straight, so much so that the CD became unplayable and I had to re buy it. Good memories.
I'm glad you reacted to this track. Now, a System of a Down song that will blow your hair back is Spiders. It really showcased their talent and songwriting abilities on their first album, and has such an eerie feeling to it
No disrespect, but some of us remember renting actual VHS videos from the local Blockbuster and making sure it was back at the beginning before returning 🤣 We literally drove to the local store, browsed the latest releases, and then took it to the counter to rent. God I feel old 🙃
@neepers22, My OCD went even further. After rewinding I'd queue it up to the start of the previews so the next poor sod didn't have to watch the crap before they kicked in. Sad. I know.
I'm old enough that I fell in love with this song when it was first released. I love all of their music but this is the best one for me personally. I love watching your first time reactions! It feels almost like I'm hearing the music myself for the first time. Thanks for this one!
Radical suggestion: make multiple playlists, by genre (thrash metal, classic metal, nu metal, grunge, pop, hip hop, etc). its easier to manage and you'll hear songs on a regular basis that you like.
SOAD is quite often spectacular at smacking the audience in the face. I love this one, because it has a bit more sophistication in how it delivers the punch. I really enjoy the themes about fame, hero-worship, and group-think as well. Of course a lot of their stuff is full of commentary on the ills of modern society.
The thing with System of a Down is all their music is so different and great in different ways, hard to pick favorit. Each time you hear them it's like hearing them for the first time
I've heard this song so many times but it seems just a few weeks ago I HEARD the first line of this for the first time with understanding. "Life is a waterfall. We're one in the river and one again after the fall" So deep and I can't believe I never really caught it before.
I love the way Serj’s voice is so unique and for me, it has that tremolo, a very quick vibrato that combined with bright and nasal sounds brings me the feeling of oriental singing or something arabic, maybe because of they’re backgroung. I just remembered the day i’ve listened on MTV for the first time but by that time we couldn’t rewind haha we had to wait until it was played again but man, what a vibe people used to create😍
"When you lose small mind you free your life." Political af. And the beat is hard af. I wear my t-shirt to this song proudly. They really make you think. They're so badass. Looks like you think so too. Great reaction!!
This music feels so much like the vibe of The Matrix movies. Can't see one without thinking of the other. RATM does also.(Rage Against the Machine) And, they do the closing banger for one of them. THAT'S who you should hear soon! Esp while you're still jamming on SOAD. Ooh... Tom Morello from RATM, was in a band with Chris Cornell from Soundgarden ... AUDIOSLAVE. And it's my fave of Chris' groups. Coz of Tom, actually. (I love watching you first experience these sounds.)
Greetings from Portugal. 4 words for this masterpiece: Chills in the brain! Literally. I felt chills in the back of my brain every single time I hear it. Next ones? Lonely day, Spiders, Question. The last one is the best one. Yep, I understand you. Note: Following your Playlist on Spotify. Keep rockin'. Peace
You're absolutely right, this song is more straight forward than other SOAD songs. It is also my fave SOAD song, I 110% expected you to love it and be hooked in the first seconds 😂 As was I, when I first heard it 20+ years ago. It's epic, got raw emotions in the vocals, and some deep lyrics as well. Excellent reaction, I really like your approach and enthusiasm to these new songs😊
Bro, I love that your digging SOAD, they're my all time favorite band. And don't worry, plenty more bangers where that one came from ;-) Also, would love to see you start doing full album reactions, that'd be sick af. Keep it up man!
I love your reactions- I couldn’t wrap my head around why people like reactions, but I think I‘ve finally grasped the reason why they grew on me while watching you: it‘s a mixture between seeing a live band on stage and hearing an amazing song for the first time. Collectively we share your emotions and get a glimpse of the rush back, at discovering the song for the first time again. It must be obvious to most, but I feel I am just now able to but it into words. Thank you for that- is lovely to see the sparkle and joy in songs I have loved for decades! 🎉
I had the unfortunate or fortunate task of choosing songs for my best friends funeral a few years ago And this was one of them Find it hard to listen too, have tears in my eyes Such a good song When I saw you were doing this I wasn’t going to listen but I’m glad I did Thank you x
9:48 that’s the beauty of metal brother. Welcome 🤘🏻Add Mekong Delta - The Music of Erich Zaan to your list, perfect for when you start doing full album live streams. Oh and my usual mention of Machine Head 😁🤘🏻🤘🏻
FALLING IN REVERSE - WATCH THE WORLD BURN!!! It will GO OFF viral my man!! My band used to warm up at jam and recording sessions with SOAD Aerials, Toxicity and Sugar! Such fun songs to play live!!
More from SOAD please!! ❤ Sugar, Question!, Hypnotize, Suggestions, BYOB, Prison Song, Psycho, Holy Mountains. Love to see others get as excited about SOAD as me😊
I heard this song when i was in high school in the early 2000s. Didnt think much of it since i was into rap music at the time. Trying to fit in as a white dude going to a school when i am the minority, actually loved rap/hip hop in the late 90s/early 2000s. Ive been listening to everything music ever since graduating in 2002 and expanding my mind. Listening to your reaction made me appreciate SOAD all over again. I actually forgot how damn good they are. Thank you for covering this. Its channels like yours that i love watching to bring me back to what i have listened to and forgot about. Keep rockin Bruv.
I genuinely enjoy watching your reactions to these bands 😊 Just keep in mind that the rabbit hole of kickass music from the mid-60’s through the 90’s is deeeep 😁 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Honestly you won’t find one like this in their discography and this IMO is the best they’ve done. It’s one of my favorite songs of this genre. It’s just beautiful. I’m glad you enjoyed it too. It was fun watching you hear it for the first time.
The first time I heard this, my late husband and I were listening to whatever that rock station was in Canton OH, when this record first came out. The DJ was outside smoking a jo9int (yes, you read that right) and accidentally let the song play including the extension at the end that never made it to the radio version. We went out and got that record and SOAD were a daily part of our lives until his death. You've been batting 1.000 lately, dude! (Ask an American) Keep up the good work!!
The first time I heard SOAD, I was high AF! I got to listen to the entire 1st album and was so blown away. There was nothing like it/them before. I quit smoking, but I miss the combo of great first time listens and good ol sweetleaf. Keep them coming Mollyboy!
One of us, one of us!😁Welcome to the metal family mate. Genuinely makes my heart full watching you react to all these different songs. First one i saw you do was Blind by KoRn and it almost made me cry😂 Keep it up man, there's so many good ones to discover😉🙌
Also, was rewatching and was thinking Godsmack. You will love the guitar and vocals. Try Voodoo or I stand Alone to begin. I love Godsmack and this channel!!
My favorite part of this song is when the guitar is REALLY played towards the end with the power behind it. All and all, an amazing band with a lot of great songs.
Sugar!!! 💯
Hands down my fav soad song
@@dazmaulwargamingmore people need to react to peephole and suite pee to be honest
@@zembagaming7841video/radio SOAD do polka
Then prison song 😂
Protect the land
I like 'Lonely Day'
100% he will love this!
Same song goes hard!
Same man, makes me emotional every time i hear it.
One of the best lyrical lines ever... "When you lose small mind you free your life."
And it's so true. I was raised a massive bigot.
It wasn't until I hated myself for it and wanted to change that I felt free.
Not the opening line to Cigaro? 😜
Facts
Hey grlfriend, I totally agree. "An open mind is a prerequisite to an open heart." Small minds will always lash out at what they dont understand. Take care, Peace
"Question" by SOAD is probably gonna have a similar effect on you..."this is the new best song for me" . I felt you on that comment lol
Seconding Question! as the next one, if you like the more melodic and less choppy. That song is more of this, but more refined as it came later in the discography.
Yeah question is great...maybe my favorite vid...
One of the best Metal Albums of the century😮😊
Yes❤
Agreed definitely
Agree
The millennium!!
Definitely one of the most iconic of all time :)

Yessssss Spiders is freaking fantastic.
Spiders is one of my all time favourite song of theirs
A.d.d!
Yeah steal this album is so underrated
He’s gonna shit himself at IEAIAIO
The whole Toxicity album was unbelievable. When it came out I was 16 an I literally just couldn’t listen to anything else for almost 6 months straight, so much so that the CD became unplayable and I had to re buy it. Good memories.
more, more , more SOAD!!! questions, hypnotize, deer dance, Lost in Hollywood 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
I'm glad you reacted to this track. Now, a System of a Down song that will blow your hair back is Spiders. It really showcased their talent and songwriting abilities on their first album, and has such an eerie feeling to it
spiders is one of my favorites
That s the first one i've heard. I was 17, i'm 40 now.
I'll always remember
Welcome to the metal community my dude. We're glad to have you here :)
Hell yeah!🤘❤

No disrespect, but some of us remember renting actual VHS videos from the local Blockbuster and making sure it was back at the beginning before returning 🤣 We literally drove to the local store, browsed the latest releases, and then took it to the counter to rent. God I feel old 🙃
Yep They sold rewinders!

“Life is a waterfall, we’re one in the river and one again after the fall” unreal lyric by my fellow Armenians, SOAD!
One of THE most consistent and genuine music reactors on YT right now... keep it up Molly 👏👏👏
Probably listened to this track 1000x and still get shivers at the same parts.
Radical suggestion: make multiple playlists, by genre (thrash metal, classic metal, nu metal, grunge, pop, hip hop, etc). its easier to manage and you'll hear songs on a regular basis that you like.
Please react to System of a down - Question. Another masterpiece.
Hypnotize

My favorite SOAD song, I discovered the band when I heard this song. It still hits so hard and beautifully even after I've heard it so many times...
I've heard this song so many times but it seems just a few weeks ago I HEARD the first line of this for the first time with understanding.
"Life is a waterfall. We're one in the river and one again after the fall" So deep and I can't believe I never really caught it before.
OOOO I am like a giddy school girl right now. 😅 Can't wait to see this one but I already know it's going to be amazing. 💜
“I’m sorry but that wasn’t long enough.” Literally, what I say every time I hear this song!
I forget if you have done Question! Yet because it’s pretty close to Areals. Also Streamline is pretty sick.
I like that youre going to react to whole albums, then you can listen to it in your free time without losing songs that you could ve reacted to
I love the way Serj’s voice is so unique and for me, it has that tremolo, a very quick vibrato that combined with bright and nasal sounds brings me the feeling of oriental singing or something arabic, maybe because of they’re backgroung. I just remembered the day i’ve listened on MTV for the first time but by that time we couldn’t rewind haha we had to wait until it was played again but man, what a vibe people used to create😍
It's a whole new world for ya! I'm 68, and I've heard some of the best music of my life with Rock. You younger guys have missed a lot of MUSIC.
"When you lose small mind you free your life." Political af. And the beat is hard af. I wear my t-shirt to this song proudly. They really make you think.
They're so badass. Looks like you think so too. Great reaction!!

Beautiful!!! Love Serj's voice 😍
Greetings from Portugal. 4 words for this masterpiece: Chills in the brain!
Literally. I felt chills in the back of my brain every single time I hear it.
Next ones? Lonely day, Spiders, Question.
The last one is the best one. Yep, I understand you.
Note: Following your Playlist on Spotify.
Keep rockin'. Peace

System Of A Down - Question!
I love seeing your reaction to the music I have loved all my life.
You're getting into the heavier stuff bro! I like it!
I love your reactions- I couldn’t wrap my head around why people like reactions, but I think I‘ve finally grasped the reason why they grew on me while watching you: it‘s a mixture between seeing a live band on stage and hearing an amazing song for the first time. Collectively we share your emotions and get a glimpse of the rush back, at discovering the song for the first time again. It must be obvious to most, but I feel I am just now able to but it into words.
Thank you for that- is lovely to see the sparkle and joy in songs I have loved for decades! 🎉
amazing vocals amazing transitions.. SOAD musical roller coaster of greatness!!!
I appreciate you going through all of my childhood and showing some love to this side of music no one these days knows anything about.
I had the unfortunate or fortunate task of choosing songs for my best friends funeral a few years ago
And this was one of them
Find it hard to listen too, have tears in my eyes
Such a good song
When I saw you were doing this I wasn’t going to listen but I’m glad I did
Thank you x

Spiders is my favorite, and it's not choppy. The video is amazing quality, too. Like a movie.
I love your reaction videos...nothing else to add lol! I am liking the whole album reviews, keep it up mate!
Serj and Daren's discordant harmonizing at the end is haunting. You're correct, too; they leave you wanting more.
May as well start playlists for every band
Might be my favourite song by them 😍😍
BEST REACTION EVER!!! ❤
That's why I love genuine reaction videos. I feel like I'm listening to it for the first time too.
More from SOAD please!! ❤
Sugar, Question!, Hypnotize, Suggestions, BYOB, Prison Song, Psycho, Holy Mountains.

Great live performance and band great album

Stunning song of system thanks bro, 🤘❤️💛💚
I heard this song when i was in high school in the early 2000s. Didnt think much of it since i was into rap music at the time.

My favorite SOAD song is whichever I happen to be listening to at the moment. They're all so good, and so unique
Your reactions are truly genuine.
Aerials was my favorite in high school not only coz of song but video.. so atmospheric and powerful
Massive bass rhythms in that one. As with most SOAD that bass guitar shines!
This is one of my favorite songs, period.
This is definitely my favorite SOAD song, Darren’s guitar tone and backing harmonies were fire
yes i remember hearing it for the first time i practically wanted to climb in the radio. anazing piece
I genuinely enjoy watching your reactions to these bands 😊 Just keep in mind that the rabbit hole of kickass music from the mid-60’s through the 90’s is deeeep 😁 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Honestly you won’t find one like this in their discography and this IMO is the best they’ve done. It’s one of my favorite songs of this genre. It’s just beautiful. I’m glad you enjoyed it too. It was fun watching you hear it for the first time.
I still remember the first time I heard this song and saw the video even it was released s as a pre-teen. It absolutely captivated me and still does!
SOTD, ARE INCREDIBLE!! VERY VERY UNIQUE!! AWESOME VIDEO AND AWESOME REACTION MOLLYBOY 💙 I LOVE HIS VOCALS!! 😊🩷🔥🤘✌️
Glad you enjoyed this. Finding new music is one of lifes gifts. Cheers

"Did you hear that?" 😄Love seeing your reaction to a song that still sparks a emotional response to me after 20 years
Thanks for the awesome reaction.
I’m sending this reaction to my son so he can see why I have loved music so much.
HYPNOTIZE NEXTDUDE KEEP EM COMIN
The first time I heard SOAD, I was high AF! I got to listen to the entire 1st album and was so blown away. There was nothing like it/them before. I quit smoking, but I miss the combo of great first time listens and good ol sweetleaf. Keep them coming Mollyboy!
Sugar, Spiders, Prison Song, War… so many incredible songs
One of us, one of us!😁Welcome to the metal family mate. Genuinely makes my heart full watching you react to all these different songs. First one i saw you do was Blind by KoRn and it almost made me cry😂 Keep it up man, there's so many good ones to discover😉🙌
I’m sure you will enjoy Every song from their Toxicity album. Every song from that album is fire.
Great reaction bro. 🤙🏾
I love that whole album. So good. And Serj's voice is so unique. Love it. And the video is dope as well.
I agree- the breakdown is pretty damn good❤
Definitely worth a rewind.
Omg! Thankyou lad. I just realised i can just use your playlist without the app. Feel stupid but well happy.
Check out Question and Spiders
That drop is so heavy. Slaps bro. 🤘
Also, was rewatching and was thinking Godsmack. You will love the guitar and vocals. Try Voodoo or I stand Alone to begin. I love Godsmack and this channel!!
Great reaction bruh 🔥
This song is just ❤ there are layers to it
love this song terrific band
Because you have your passion and love for genuine and good music, and that is why you are turning into one of us, a metalhead \m/
Epic tune, one of Kieth Flints favourite tunes, had it played at his funeral
Great video again. 'A metalhead reacts!' love it, welcome to the family brother . Best thing? You've got decades of amazing music to discover ❤
Absolutely one of my favorites by SOAD, out of their whole discography.
My favorite part of this song is when the guitar is REALLY played towards the end with the power behind it. All and all, an amazing band with a lot of great songs.
Love your channel MOLLYBOY.
