I like Daron as a backup singer, but him as a lead vocalist would be annoying.

/wishes soad would end their hiatus

Serj Tankian's album "Elect the Dead" is one of the best I've heard in years. He WAS SOAD.

SOAD's Hypnotize annoyed the fark out of me. Especially the songs where Daron was way too prominent. Jesus dude shut the fark up.Otherwise some of the songs were actually pretty cool.

Awesome, so basically the same band without the crappy vocals and useless bass player.

/seriously, whats the point of the bass guitar?

Nice i have been waiting for this album for a while. Serj is an essential part of System but Daron is just as important. I also loved Elect the Dead but i have to disagree about Daron. I love his vocals and guitar playing so i am pretty excited for this album. It was clear from Hypnotize and Memorize that they were ready to go their own ways for a while. SoaD will be back soon though.

SOAD should be serj on vocals. Let Daronsing on his own album. How about Serj and Buckethead that was tight.

"should" .... it amazes me how consumers pretend to tell artists how to produce their art.

 
TheJoe03 [TotalFark] 2008-05-02 02:21:39 PM  
SOAD went way too soft on their last two CDs (Hypnotize and Mesmerize), something I blame Daron on. Daron has an annoying, whiny, almost emo voice, Serj tears him up on the vocals. Bring back the old sound System!

It amazes me that you could actually read my comment out of context with your head up your arse. I was simply stating my opinion, not posting with the expectations that System would read my post and say "Fark he is right". I think the amazing thing is that someone could be so smug and smarmy in a music forum that I would suggest that they light them selves on fire and play in traffic.

I don't know, maybe I don't know music, but that song in SOB's Myspace page isn't terrible, it's just not SOAD. Same with Elect the Dead, it wasn't bad (in fact it was pretty good), it's just not SOAD.

I wish they could just get back together. :(

Context? Do you even know what that means? You have no idea what the fark i'm driving at. That's why SOAD are on the stage, and you are not. They do what they want, and you buy the record and the concert ticket... and then sit at home and think that you have a better idea.

First off I don't buy music. Second of all I didn't even bother to download serj's solo work, and I wont dl Daron's either. I don't sit around and think of Ideas of how other artist can make better music, I make my own music better. The difference as I can see it is I am focused on creating my own music, and you are a smarmy prick. My thoughts of SOAD being better with serj singing have nothing to do with my thoughts of my own music. Again the serj thing was an opinion. Are you up on stage, have you played in front of people, and with other people. I have, but that doesn't mean I know everythig about music, and it doesn't mean I have distorted views of the validity of my own opinions.

/how do you say I am a musician/guitarist without it sounding like "I have to go to the gym in 26 min"

That's OK, I'm just being real as well. Someone always has a "better" idea to build on someone else's success. Hey here's a joke:

Q; How many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Seven. One to change the lightbulb, six to stand there and say "I would have done it this way..."

TheJoe03 glad I am not the only one being peeved

I am not one to feed the troll, generally I prefer to be the troll, but this d-bag... I don't know.

I did not ever imply that SOAD would be better with serj singing, the context of my statment was that I prefer SOAD with serj on vocals. So if having an opinion or personal preferance implys that I know what is best for a band, rather then what i enjoy in music, well then I guess you are right.

SOAD sucks, has always sucked, will always suck. Serj sucks. These guys are total asshats. Besides their music being unlistenable tripe, they are top-grade assholes in interviews and in person.

If only they had been in Armenia during the Armenian Genocide they whinge about every second of every day.

Yea i agree. And there is good American metal Im not sure what the guy up there was talking about. But he did preface it with "in my opinion" that is nice to see at least.

Many people find Pantera to be overrated. There are only 2 american metal bands that I really like and they are Manowar and Kamelot. Just prefer european metal is all.

This is the state of music culture today i guess... we are so obsessed with washed-up non-talented has-beens like britney spears that when an extremely kick ass band forms 7 or 8 months ago, it takes yahoo music this long and a headliner at a major music festival to finally find out that "hey, this band actually has a chance."
