"you get a shiver in the park it's raining in the dark"?????? what the fuck is it with these shit bands trying to cover a Dire Straits song? fuck off dumbass kids. long live the Dire Straits.
You get a shiver in the park It's raining in the dark but meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie double four time You feel alright when you hear that music ring Now You step inside but you don't see too many faces Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Competition in other places But those mother fuckersbe blowing that sound Well on downsouth well on downsouth London town We Are The System Of A Down
I think MK is a great guitar player but dire straits is so fucking overrated. And i cant think of them playn a soad song. If you talk about dire straits you talk about MK because the only good thing in DS its MK. DS sucks
Saw 'em do this @ Ozzfest 06, definite highlight of the evening. They really should have recorded this. Hell, their version of Snowblind was pretty badass...
@mcjeb the last time I saw them was their last show, it sucked because as badass as the show was, you could read the tension on Daron and Serj's faces.
I just wish they'd settle whatever their problems are and get back together. I know they've got at least one more masterpiece in them.
@mcjeb I'm not denying that Daron pry had more to do with it, just look at how quick Scars disbanded...
...and I apologize, I know they have SEVERAL excellent albums yet...but Daron and Serj need to get past whatever shit has them quote/unquote "hating each other."
distortion doesnt mean sloppy just listen to yngwie malmsteen, or steve vai, or jeo satriani
he is just a bad guitar player if he had even practiced at all it wouldnt have sounded so shitty it wasnt his own version it was just a badly played "summary" of the real solo
yeah except one thing, theres a difference between distortion and gain, distortion is all junky and metal sounding. daron malakian is a metal rythmic guitarist who uses distortion,vai and satriani are pros who use gain, gain is just screechy but really clean. so daron quite honestly didnt fuk this song up once, its just he plays in different settings and styles.
well it dont sound shitty at all, your opinion i geuss, and distortion is a good excuse to sound shitty actually, its why people use distortion, more sound, more metal, and more slop.
ha have you ever seen dire straits live? it sounds even better than on the album. saying that something sucks because its live is just pointing out that the band is an overproduced mess
I haven't seen them live but i am a big fan of dire straits and i have allways been.
What i meant was that this was probably an unrehearsed spontaneous improvisation. Knopfler can keep an improvisation going on for ages but make him play a SOAD song just like that without any further preparation and it would sound as good as this does...
Al lot of Dire Straits fans seem NOT to know that System just loves to fuck up some covers just for fun... That's just System, they love to just have some fun on stage. They def don't suck like some guys are saying here. Let Dire Straits do a cover of P.L.U.C.K., War? or Holy Mountains live... We'l see how far they wil get...
Oh My God!!! What the fuck was that? Indisputably, you know how to ruin a masterpiece!! I feel sorry about you. Do something else in your life, because THIS IS MUSIC REEEEEEE!!!!MALAKES!!
how dare SOAD play a Dire Straits song so pathetically, i am absoluely appauled to say i have heard this song being ruined by 4 stupid useless americans, Mark Knopfler is english the song is English and all you stupid fat arsed mother fucking americans need to start ruining your own songs instead of Dire Straits and other world class ENGLISH bands songs SOAD are the worst band ever and the members need pinning on a washing line and shooting by the ENGLISH armys finest Riflemen
They made a short cover of it as an intro to their next song you cunt!! their point was not to make the best fucking show out of covers.. they got their own songs for that, so you should just fuck off!
dont say that without ne sort of back up. if u played ne sort of instrument u would call urself an idiot right now. system is very good but dire straits as 100x better due to tonal, emotional purpouses with more creative melodies. system of a down is only better with their technical ability to play fast and sing fast which is less important.
ur a tool if ur expecting me to believe that a piano and guitar player thinks system is better than dire straits......either that or you just suck at all four categories my friend im assuming its the first one though.
errr just incase ur thick uneducated mind cant take it, piano and keyboard are pretty much the same, maybe, if u was trying to impress us, u would of said that u play, guitar, bass, keyboards, and DRUMS. lol
"we are the system of a down"? what was the idea? they ended to do a worst job with a great song. And the guitar part? give me a break. Mark Knopfler is a hundred times better, he is the man.
they actually did ruin one of the best songs ever. you can give me thumbs down all you want, but its a fact. if they want to cover this awesome song they should at least do it right.
"we are the system of a down"? thats the cheapest shit ever, and i can say that even really liking system of a down...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I hope I forget this soon these guys just ruined one of the greatest songs of all time the vocals are so shit that it's not even funny, the guitar playing is nothing compared to MK's shame on you who put this video up.
They should really stop doing this. It seemed interesting at first but honestly, this is one of the worst covers ive ever heard and system of a down really needs to stop. and the we are the system, we are the system of a down is just awful. Hate all you want on what im saying, any TRUE fan of th song knows im right
no, you arent, you really arent.. just let them do what they want.. and first before you fuck system up, you have to get so popular and famous like them.. if you arent, you couldnt say this is shit, make it better, im waiting for youre video :D
SOAD should stick to doing whatever it is that they supposedly do best. This is not it. First time I've heard a non-horrible vocal from them, but between the "we are the system" crap lyric and the garage-band-warming-up sound/vibe, they should be ashamed. Either cover the song or don't, but don't f*** with it like this...
he got the damn lyrics wrong in the beginning.
