[ChromeDome703]

[schmockocko]

don´t defile mind! it´s so sad that the old soad times are over

[Armynian]

SOAD needs to come back together , So you can keep Rocketing Rockin these #$%%*(@.

[joeymalakian]

[MrEki1990]

[cbstixx]

[french0alternative]

i'm pretty sure it's a remix of an old song on Soul Assassins volume 1 . isn't it ?

[16394cottage]

[adamjacques1]

[LithuanianGuitar]

and an intro to needles

[Bidalla]

"AFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ,IS THE SAME SONG

"Mind" of System of a downn .. é a mesma musica do Systemmm "mind" mas que otario só aumentou o tom dela affzzzz

[spookmm]

I hear system of a down & rapping :O

[TimmyRamone]

All I see is SOAD fans talking things like "No Shavo, Why??"... Dammit people, bet you didn't even pay attention to the music.

It's incredible, the beat is amazing, and it has meaningful lyrics. There was a time rap was all about this.

Personally, I enjoyed more AchoZen than Scars on Broadway.

[can1spam]

fuck yeah TimmyRamone, you hit the nail on the head there mate. why cant pple just listen to the music without all the steriotypicle stigmas attached. rock on man

[asensosaz]

the old school rap its the best high thing

[NamelessNLS]

lots of soad riff bass and daron part lool :D

[CiCCiO88iT]

Nooo Shavo!! Why???? :'((

[heevant]

NOOOO

does anyone read anything???

[whitneyslover123]

is serj in this band?

[LCHC1]

He is not

[midnightjj]

serj hates rap

[jninja12]

I like Rap but like GetMixie said REAL rap not the commercial bullshit you hear on the radio every day rap to me is House of Pain,Esham,Eminem,KRS-One NOW that is rap!

Wu-Tang Clan man THATS RAP TOO!

Go Shavo!

[gravedarkind]

Shavo a rapper??????????? thats something i thought i would never see...

[carlhitt]

You people need to chill for a minute...

because first off,

Shavo was into rap before any kind of rock.

Infact, he was a DJ in the local LA.....

you guys have no right saying he doesn't fit in the rap scene

fucking Stereotypes...

[Carllooosssss]

I agree with you.

Everyones saying wtf. When hes good at rap.

[LiliumWing]

@carlhitt I think saying That he's an artist in both genres is a better way of putting it?

You can't be "IB4ROCK" you like both naturally as an artist, as a human. . right? >_>

[LCHC1]

Why not? system`s genre is influenced by rap

[Dyrui13]

fast mind and needle riffs XD

[ElitePrototype]

GIVE SHAVO BACK TO SOADDDDDDDDDD!!!!!! Or at least Rock he doesn't fit in to this..... (I know system is on Hiatus but hey I can hope)

[anarchylove92]

dont really like rap but since their not talking about killing each other or their cars and gold teeth

it's okay

[mExloKo13]

actually rap is nothing about that but the new rappers generation just fucked it all

[ghostdude0510]

first part much better cant even understand the 2 nd part

[ghostdude0510]

this actually revived my love of rap it actuaal good unlike everything thats out now like freakin lil wayne and especially that annoying soulja boy crap

[GetMixie]

Ooh, yeah. I don't really like rap, but this is REAL rap, not like Lil Wayne or Kanye West or that bullcrap...

[turboblack02]

open your mind....and enjoy....cause there's no more SOAD...and if they come back like RATM, you will have to sell ur balls for a ticket..Awhile scars on broadway, serj, and Achozen are wonderful additions of the artists' abilities to make great shit...its hard for them to make bad music...steal these album was all tracks that were cut out of the toxicity project that were all good material...they all can easily record 40 songs in one album project..so there will be plenty of great music

[Whorestreet]

They are coming back and rap is not stupid because you think like that. I am a lot bigger fan than you and i believe that they can do whatever they like if only they come back after a year or two.

[MASK0130]

Dude, if you were a true fan of System of a Down, you would be supportive in all the individual projects they are doing, instead of just your own selfishness. Let him do what he wants...

[MindfreakHeadbanger2]

I dont understant why shavo leaves from system of a down to play in a rap band...

[Whorestreet]

Damn, SOAD is on hiatus. He can do what ever he likes for now.

[TheGuitarGuyDude]

In the start the bass riff is the same as Mind!

[halomastr117]

cept faster, theres alot of SOAD guitar mixed into here.

[timetorp]

achosen sucks rap sucks

[malakian1991]

And Mind.

[Soadfreak666]

i hear the deer dance sample in the background :)

[Crobberman]

Needles. ;)

[awais590]

WTF!? you guys. I want SOAD to come back just as much as you lot do. Seriously. But reality is that it is NOT going to happen. Sorry guys. :'(

[rainmadudamada]

Give me your brain. I'll put it to use.

[Othallivan]

there is nothing in common anchozen with system...

there is no reason to said "screw anchozen brink system back!!!"

This is not a crew or band...it's a project!!!!

[finally47]

Screw achozen, Scars, and serj going solo! Bring back SYSTEM!

[Aloys06]

Mind and Needles ! pfff WE WANTS SOAD !!!!! NOW !

[slowlysolo]

SOAD was so much better

[TheGuitarGuyDude]

SOAD IS so much better...

[afroninja1111]

lol way to just take mind and needles with a rapper over it shavo.

I should slap him. I want system back.

[gaarasclub]

Shavo+Rap? WHY!!

[thecrazyvinnyshow]

shavos always been interested in rap.

[akDaLenchMob]

whta is the name of this song ???

[THR1LLA115]

The Mind bassline, the Needles guitar intro.

[jameshinoda]

neddles?

[susubear13]

this is not the Shavo I used to know

[Dauletsoad91]

I want nu metal

[LK9T9]

System Of A Down - "Mind"

these side projects are bullshit, i love their solo journey's. but it just doesnt compare. Daron, Serj, Shavo and John need each other. Just like the fans need them to be together.

Cmon system GET THE FAWK BACK TOGETHER ALREADY

[KieranTVogel]

you make no fucking sense. "i love their solo journey's" but "these side projects are bullshit"

get your facts straight

[LK9T9]

loving the work they are doing and loving the mentallity behind it are 2 different fucking things. the music they make (achozen aside) is still good. But one, doesnt compare to system, doesnt convey the mental stability and strength they had as a group. I respect the mentality in their decisions to feel out their individual flavours. That doesnt mean i love their new work more to system. The side projects to me, are better than nothing, but bullshit compared to what we could have. SOAD<3

[KieranTVogel]

SOAD used to be my favorite band, but after listening to them for about ten years, they've grown old. i still enjoy to listen to them, but not even close to how much i did, say, five years ago. the side-projects are something new and fresh to me, so i guess that's why i like them.

[madcorne]

this guys got it....u hav my respect man.

everyone posting "get system back together", i agree with you. but listen to this guy

[poriyakhoshdel]

same but image when they do get back together shavo for in stins shavo can mix it up with his new formed hip hop

[coolcat33333]

It's shit like this that's keeping SOAD from getting back together. I'm not saying Rap sucks, I'm just saying, I miss system of a down. They aren't too great by themselves, but together they are amazing.

[ALEXisSPANISH]

Shavo doing this has earned him even more cred with me. Just the fact that he's pro-rap makes him even more awesome.

[graaftell]

The begin is stolen from SOAd yes i know he is from soad but it is stolen

[rbg2819]

old lyrics, not real song

[darkcloud20019]

dude soad did a few rap songs. Listen to Shame, it's pretty damn good

[tTatmosT]

shame? i neve heard that song, is it one of the song of the albums that never came out?

[Dragon5n]

shame is a wu tang clan cover with instrumentals added. its pretty cool. also ozzy's snoblind is another system cover

[Barqun]

there is some war intro.. nice sampling..

[BloodDrop13]

also beginning to Needled

[Crobberman]

It's Mind, man. ;)

[Barqun]

sorry my bad.. i mean the guitar riff its needle.. not war.

[12516517197]

im surprised the bass player of system of a down joined this rap group system of a down doesn't seem like the type of people who would be interested in rap

[IranahyeNotVTEC]

he's said multiple times, he's a much into pop as he is rock.

good for him though. we shouldn't discriminate music. music is music, and everyone has their own tastes.

[heevant]

The bass, guitar and vocals have been sampled from the original System of a Down tracks and from Dj Muggs 1st Soula Assasin albums Rza track. The remix is exclusively done by Voski and Dj Lagger for Rza and Shavo. It is NOT an Achozen song!! Just a tease for the video's intro. Peace!!

[JoshShiells]

The intro DOES indeed sound much like Mind.

It sounds like he isn't in Drop C anymore, but I think he's still playing the same riff on the A string.

I will say, it's different to Serj's solo career and Daron & John's Scars on Broadway.

Hip-hop and such isn't really my bag, but from a musical standpoint it works, it flows and it's got a great beat. The lyrics aren't terrible, either.

Note the sample of Malakian's riff recurring around 1:00, from the SOAD track Needles (from Toxicity).

[tTatmosT]

but still you would prefer (like all the fans) that they would end hiatus and get back together right?

[layon99]

the begin is similar to intro of System Of A Down - Mind shavo owns on bass!

[tupacnationDJtruf]

this shit is the best... only people who are very open minded and see music for its art will like this... im not fan of metal and shit but wu tang also have best affiliated groups... real musical artists

[MeZmErIzEtheMiNd]

shavo's awesome hes made his mark on bassists and music in general

[nakosos]

Yeah,a lil of Needles in it,heard it too ^^

I don't like it !!! WE WANT SOAD BACK ! -.-

[BustaMonkey1234]

its not the best. shavo could do much better

[wrnr8393]

i hear a little needles in there!

[vrajko]

yeah i hear it too and hes playing mind as the bass line

[ElSAVALDORfunes]

this america noob

[WeWereBaked]

system played wit wu tang before anyway

[WeWereBaked]

its actually pretty sick and so is scars you cant just be closed minded

[biohazard228]

why is shavo with this garbage

[Plankner]

i rly dunno....

[splatmaster]

he states that he like this stuff in some of his interviews if you payed a little more attention.

[crz4anime]

wtf is garbage ? RZA and shavo are great ... best flow and great bassline ... and stop fucking wit da clan XD....lol

[cacothead12]

that bass line sounds like mind

[chasendbradleymaxaye]

i know i noticed that too. im pissed that shavo left system for this shit.

[drunkenhobo89]

yeah and the guitar sounds like needles

[14soriano14]

i cant wait til they come out with an album so i can jam out

[RHCPRambo10]

I don't care it still sucks...

[lemonman456]

thanks for the warning at 1:16

[lutzkagreg]

what are the songs that are enar the end of the video? I know one of them was gravel pit, but i couldn't make out the others.

[soadbassist]

its the guitar from needles and the bass from mind

[ShyGuyzz]

The other soad song you are thinking of is "Mind" c'mon, I knew that right away..

[ShutURBiG]

The bass is from the song "Mind".

[soadFan888Alexx]

I love Shavo <3

[Bartholomule01]

The main bass part is from S.O.A.'s Mind

[Horseslipers]
