MEZMERIZE!

There should be a minimum time that a band should actually be together before they announce a "reunion". Maybe 45 minutes or something.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Talk hard! Someone likes crappy bands...

R.A.Danny:There should be a minimum time that a band should actually be together before they announce a "reunion".

10 years doesn't cut it?

If and when they get back together, I highly recommend seeing them. Not only do they reproduce what they played in the studio, but they actually sound better! Serj Tankian produces a better set of vocals live...unlike, say Axel Rose?

/saw GnR 5 times live and they absolutely sucked

...and there was mass rejoicing all over the land

Good riddance, you untalented Taliban nut-swingers.

This is too bad. SOAD is one of my favorite bands and they put on one of the best shows i have been to. I am hoping Scars on Broadway pans out. Thats alright though because they left lots of good music behind.

They also did one of my favorite covers on the Dracula 2000 soundtack, Metro by Berlin.

P.L.U.C.K

This is a bad thing?

goes to read the article...crap they have moved on to other "projects". I had hoped to never hear any thing about or from any of them again.

STRYPERSWINE:Good riddance, you untalented Taliban nut-swingers.

Taliban?

Oh noes, they might wait another year before releasing another album that sounds exactly like the last one. BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Too bad, they were actually a fun band to listen to. I doubt anyone that actually dislikes them that much ever gave them a chance.

/will wait for naysayers to wiki/google info about SOAD and pretend to know something

Now if Serj starts incorporating SOAD songs into his set, no real loss.

Serj live > SOAD live

Premise of the article seems stupid. Didn't Serj's album just come out and Scars album isn't even out? They will get good money for nice reunion gig on some traveling summer festival, but they suck ass live.

Never heard them before. Clearly they suck.

Heard enough of them to know they won't be missed. Have to admit, Serj's "goat getting boned up the ass" vocals were different.

Saw their very last show. It was o.k. Iron Maiden still the best show i've seen.

/i hated most of the songs on SOAD last album. too much Darion Malakian. Great harmonizing but man his voice is annoying.

enh.

didn't you know anyone with a foreign accent is a terrorist?

you saw me use that in the hancock thread the other day, didn't you?

I'm not saying they're Afghani, I'm saying they're terrorist sympathizers.

fark them for their "it's America's fault" statements the day after 9/11.

Good. The first couple albums were great, then they seemed to run out of steam after Steal This Album.

Let em all go forth and work on new projects.

Good.

They're nothing but a bunch of pretentious azzhats.

A little less garlic in the diet, Dial soap, and a decent deodorant - problem solved.

The average farker doesn't give a shiat about most links on Fark. They express apathy by not posting.

Sometimes the truth really sucks, doesn't it.

STRYPERSWINE:fark them for their "it's America's fault" statements the day after 9/11

What did they say? I am not doubting you I just cant find an article that mentions it.

I will never understand the SOAD hate, they kick ass.

"All of us in the band were very shaken by the events of September 11. We know that there are so many victims of this tragedy who need help, and we felt that since were going to be performing in the New York area, it was a perfect opportunity for us to do something that would make a difference. The donation is from our hearts." Serj Tankian

I did find this though.

Gotta say, they never did much for me. But to each their own. I'm not one for music snobbery.

Has it been that long? Jeez, now I feel old. I only have their first album, but I enjoyed it quite a bit in the twilight of my teenage years.

/saw GnR 5 times live and they absolutely sucked

Then why did you see them five times? You see them once and they suck, but you really like their recordings so you give them a second chance. You see them live a second time and they suck, so why do you go back for a third, fourth, and fifth time?

/soapbox
//a fool and his money are soon parted

Perhaps there should be a requirement for a band's name to make synctatic sense.

Somacandra:Perhaps there should be a requirement for a band's name to make synctatic sense.

From Wiki:
After Soil split up, Serj and Daron formed a new band, System of a Down, based on a poem that Daron wrote. The poem's title was "Victims of the Down"[1], but Shavo Odadjian[1], who was originally the band's manager and promoter, didn't like the word and thought the word "System" sounded better.

There is the story.

STRYPERSWINE:fark them for their "it's America's fault" statements the day after 9/11.

Tactless, but it's an argument.

Used to be, rock bands were anti-establishment, I guess we're used to that not being the case anymore. Enjoy the sound of Toby Keith sucking the balls of the government. Christ, the idea makes me want to vomit.

/God save the Queen!
//Don't give a fark about their politics.
///Thrashy metal with actual singing and amazing harmonies FTFW.

if only all the other mall-metal bands would follow suit.

The day after 9/11 they posted a rant on the band's website that could have been written by Osama himself. They took it down REAL fast after getting death threats, but plenty of people remember. They haven't done much since then to stop being al Qaeda's mouthpiece since then either though.

I was curious about this anti-American rant so I googled it up. I can see how, in the days right after 911 some feathers would have been ruffled, but it hardly seems like the words of a terrorist sympathizer:

The brutal attacks/bombings this week in New York, and Washington D.C., along with threats of attacks there and elsewhere in the country have changed our times forever. While the mass media concentrates on the details of the destruction, and the blanketed words of politicians, I will attempt to understand and explain the events from the fence. BOMBING AND BEING BOMBED ARE THE SAME THINGS ON DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE FENCE.

Terror is not a spontaneous human action without credence. People just dont hijack planes and commit harikari (suicide) without any weight of thought to the action. No one in the media seems to ask WHY DID THESE PEOPLE DO THIS HORRIFIC ACT OF VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION?

To be able to understand the answer to this, we must first look at our U.S. Mideast Policy. During most of the 20th century, U.S. businesses have worked on attaining oil rights and concessions from countries in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. After WWI, secret back door deals by our State Dept. yielded oil rights from then defeated Turkey to fields in what is now Iraq and Saudi Arabia, in return for looking the other way at a crime against humanity, the Genocide of the Armenians by the Turks. Oil profits have been the motivating factors behind many attempts at counterinsurgency of democratic regimes by the CIA and the U.S in the Middle East (such as Iran in the 1950s, where the Shah replaced the Prime Minister who refused to give up oil rights to the U.S., and since the people couldnt deal with the Shah, an extremist government headed by the Ayatollah Khomeini ultimately prevailed). During the Iran-Iraq war, America supplied both sides with weapons and advice. These are not the actions of a rich superpower wanting peace. Lets not forget that Saddam Hussein, before being Americas vision of the Anti-Christ, was a close ally of the U.S., and the CIA. So what was the firm belief system of consecutive American administrations that caused all this to occur ? PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST WILL LEAD TO HIGHER OIL AND GASOLINE PRICES. Lets not also forget the power of the Arms industry, disguised as defense, that still sells billions of dollars of weapons to the area. Therefore it has not been in the short-term economic interest of the U.S. to foster Peace in the Middle East. Using the above reasoning, the U.S. has encouraged extremist governments, toppled democracies, as in the case of Iran to replace it with a monarchy, rigged elections, and many more unspeakable political crimes for U.S. businesses abroad. Lets not also forget the Red Scare. During the war between the then Soviet Union and Afghanistan, the U.S. armed and supported the Taliban, a fundamentalist Muslim organization, and allowed them to export opium and heroin out of their country to pay for those weapons. Therefore the Taliban rose to power and control with the help of the U.S.A. Today, the bombing of Iraq still continues, no longer covered by the media, the economic embargo still remains, killing millions of children, and recently, while the world and the U.N. General Assembly have cried out to bring in peacekeeping forces into Israel and Palestine, to end the escalated war and recent assassinations, the U.S. has vetoed the rest of the Security Council and has halted the possibility of peace, there, in the most volatile place in the world.

Native American folklore, the Bible, Nostradamus, and many other major religious beliefs point to this era with the visuals of yesterdays disasters, and conditions of ecological disasters we experience daily in our lives today. War, rumors of war, famine, long burning fires, etc., are at our doorstep. We can prevail over this possible vision with the power of the human spirit, understanding, compassion, and peace. ITS TIME TO PUT OUR NEEDS FOR SECURITY AND SURVIVAL, ACHIEVED ONLY THROUGH PEACE, ABOVE AND BEYOND PROFITS, ESPECIALLY IN THESE TIMES.

With todays gains in the use of alternative fuels, develop them to full usage with autos and other utilities, to make the country less dependant on an already depleting natural reserve, oil.

By initiating peace, we would have already shaken the foundations of support for Bin Laden, and/or all those that sponsor activities like those we saw yesterday, and break the stronghold of extremists on the world of Islam. On the other hand, if we carry out bombings on Afghanistan or elsewhere to appease public demand, and very likely kill innocent civilians along the way, wed be creating many more martyrs going to their deaths in retaliation against the retaliation. As shown from yesterdays events, you cannot stop a person whos ready to die.
