Daron Malakian plays on his Ibanez Ice Man.

[XxLoStPrOfEtSxX]

So fast

[Kushburnindaily]

Daron Malakian is the shit and he is amazing at guitar. I listen to everything but there is a place in my heart for system of a down no homo ha. Also Scars on Broadway are also straight as fuck. But serj's solo shit is lame

[Xxibanez619Xx]

They had to record this with a stick of gum -_-

[juferaro]

Daron it's the perfect exemple to demostrate that you don't have to be really fast to be a good metal guitarrist

[Waddles62949]

Oh Daron... you're so beautiful.

[mechkapechka]

can anyone tell me ALL the songs here :D

[Lucas957331]

the best guitarrist ever!!!!!!

[hardRIKY]

@Lucas957331 no

[Lucas957331]

@hardRIKY jajajajaajaj yessssss

[Nunex29]

Daron Malakian the best guitarrist ever!!!! \m/

[psycho8240]

@rokkantnyugdijas  my cock is much bigger than yours :D

[psycho8240]

tabs for 1:47 to 2:02 pls 

[Niggenaggex]

L00:00ve 0:22 Riff :D

[RZKoriginal]

darron is so creative for instance the intro to suite pee and fuck the system i just love his heavy riffs in toxicity to.

[brennenb2]

daron isnt that good of a guitarist its just how creative he is with his music that makes him such an inspiration

[TheGuitardude111]

@brennenb2 thats why he's good, because he's good at what he plays and creates :)

[Vardenfelleckiam]

This video is shit quality but don't worry, Daron can make his shit smell good.

[NeoMetalx]

Sweet.... tone?...

[dbsk8r92]

he designed a series of them to be smaller because he didnt like the huge body that the iceman has. which sucks because when i first started i got one of them and now hate it because its so tiny

[MetalCore242]

SLAYER XD XD XD XD XD

[DistortedDecision]

bad sound quality

all i heard was "grrgllgrgglgrrlglrlglrggllr"

still awesome nonetheless.

[CoverPlz]

@DistortedDecision Probably because that was what he actually played, he is simply a rythm guitarist like that monkey from LP or Jared leto. Nothing special.

[AlmasMusic]

@CoverPlz

So he has to Animate Fans with just one Guitar!

[carlospassos1]

what the name of the first song that daron plays?

[GinTonDrix]

All the people that say he sucks don't have an idea about music...daron rocks! more than any other super technical guitar virtuouses...

[jeleopard]

Wow. I used to really like SoaD. I grew out of them, and I look back... Dude. He sucks.

[LeonPowalski1]

@jeleopard it's not about how many notes he plays, but how does it sounds, and it sounds better than a lot of guitarrists that only shred 100000000000000 notes.....

have you listened david gilmore? He also doesn't play 100000000000 notes and it one of the best guitarrists in the world, he doesn't suck...

[jeleopard]

@LeonPowalski1

But there's people that do play 100000000000000000 and are God. Alexi Laiho, Yngwie Malmsteen (or whatever), Dimebag Darrel, Synyster Gates...

[LeonPowalski1]

@jeleopard and daron's songs sound better. This is like buckerhead x slash......

[jeleopard]

@LeonPowalski1

lolwut. Dude. That's a good joke.

Sixpounder - Children of Bodom

Great Southern Trendkill - Pantera

To End the Rapture or Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold

Those songs alone kick Daron's ass.

[LeonPowalski1]

@jeleopard then go see THEM and stop trolling,,,,, bye internet bridge troll

[jeleopard]

@LeonPowalski1

Oh, troll. I'm insulted.

You like 14?

[alesandroargyros]

@jeleopard if you have to ask you probably are younger than that... go ask your daddy to by you a life litle troll.. opinions are like asholes , everybody has one...

and we dont wanna see nor we like yours..

[jeleopard]

@alesandroargyros

I'm not, but thank you for your concern.

Even if I was, at least I could type correctly and seem, y'know... not... stupid. Educated.

Look, Daron's overrated. By a lot.

[alesandroargyros]

@jeleopard im sory !!!... did anyone asked you to judge daron whether or not he is the best ??? was the video uploaded for the sole purpose of enabling people like you to just say their opinion about how things should have been or who is better than who ??? or to enable them to LISTEN TO MUSIC !?!?!

did we asked who you think is better guitarist than daron??? and why?? please Mr over aged , non stupid, at least high school graduate, make an educated guess...

[alesandroargyros]

@jeleopard oh and 30 years old with world of warcraft metallica and dragon ball favorites... my my how did i ever dared to imply that you could be immature... after metalica metal died right??? yeah !! redneck...

[jeleopard]

@alesandroargyros

Cause I'm actually 30. And Metallica's pretty good, not my favorite (Slayer, Pantera, Death to name a few) And sorry my channel is all outdated and stuff?

And redneck? Owch. That's harsh

[jeleopard]

@LeonPowalski1

Oh, and Slash sucks dick.

[AcidSh33tz]

dragonforce is for fucking pussys

[Emceetem]

Looking back at this now...and daron kinda sucks.

But i'm not complaining makes awesome songs, you don't need to be buckethead to deliver his feelings.

[quadruta]

viva soad daron malakian the best

[PyroManiacJohnny]

SOAD songs are extremely easy to play but they sound so SeXy

[RyaNayR42024]

at 2:40 he plays the opening riff of Metallica's Shortest Straw... now whether he realizes it or not, who knows?

[FCValle]

he kinda sucks, but with style =D

[rezgar1234]

awsome!!!

[Sergaras666]

0:47-0:51 what's the songs name?

[apkts]

@Sergaras666 electric funeral by black sabbath

[BloodXSweatXGuitars]

i meannnnnnn for a guy in soad hes what you say......not good

[kornino]

This is awful.

[VonHendrixTV]

damn........how short are you??? that guitar aint too big, and it looks like a fucking bass on you!!! You must be like 4 foot 3 inches!!!

[ssjdustin]

@VonHendrixTV um dude that's not the uploader dipshit. do you not know who the fuck system of a down is?!

[mechkapechka]

@VonHendrixTV he is 5 foot 9

[silveroon009]

great sound quality!!

[gentleman92596]

1:04 to 1:36 what song?

[humanguineapig]

@gentleman92596 watch?v=5Afj9qcP2U0

[dreadrock24]

@gentleman92596 suite pee

[ogznog]

@gentleman92596 Suite-Pee.

[DudeVision]

I bet he has those sunglasses on cus he's either super stoned or hungover XD

[jfehg]

daron vs slash

daron king

[AndreBoy316]

@jfehg daron isnt really about shredding hes about keeping it cool an simple, i dont think hes bad though, but he hasnt made any hard solos

[spaztech44]

@AndreBoy316

Solos don't have to be hard if they are original. Complicated doesn't always mean better.

[ctripoli13]

@AndreBoy316 actually listen to the solo from "lonely day." pretty difficult.

[AndreBoy316]

@ctripoli13 i know the solo, i can play it -.-

[ctripoli13]

@AndreBoy316 actually, check out the solo from lonely day. pretty difficult.

[pauliboy1031]

@ctripoli13 not too dificult!! XD

[lllULTIMATEMASTERlll]

@jfehg I dont man. This guys pretty good. But hes really not better than slash. This guy just does some death riffs and then plays something high then does another death riff.

[PianoWireAbortion]

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll Slash just plays power chords and pentatonics/blues licks. It can be turned any way you like, but if you take creativity into account, Slash is pretty weak. Most of the 'good' GNR guitar parts were written by Izzy anyway.

[lllULTIMATEMASTERlll]

@PianoWireAbortion Thats a load of crap. You can say all that crap all you like but slash is still a lot more creative.

[PianoWireAbortion]

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll Other than that circular scale work on Sweet Child O'Mine, I can't think of anything originative Slash actually contributed to the genre. He was just a popular guitarist in a big band that gets a lot of publicity. It's like saying Kirk Hammett's more creative, despite the fact that he writes basically nothing but his repetitive solos (and the odd riff since they started doing their 'therapeutic writing' shit as per St. Anger)

[lllULTIMATEMASTERlll]

@PianoWireAbortion You can think what you think. But thats not true. He brought rock back to life in the 80s. His music is in the hearts of millions. He has his own distinct style. This daron guy sounds exactly like every other death metal guitar player.

[PianoWireAbortion]

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll 1) Slash didn't play rock in the 80s; Guns N Roses was glam metal all the way. 2) Look up System of a Down. Nothing "death metal" about it, especially their later albums.

[lllULTIMATEMASTERlll]

@PianoWireAbortion Slash definitely played rock in the 80s and they were not glam metal at all. They had their own style that was far different from anyone who played in the 80s. The guy playing in this video is obviously playing metal.

[PianoWireAbortion]

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll Their first album was heavy...ish. But hardly even considered metal by most people. And GNR was just another stadium glam metal band that died in the early 90s alongside Poison/Warrant/every other band exactly like them.

[lllULTIMATEMASTERlll]

@PianoWireAbortion Are you serious? I dont consider them metal. I'm talking about rock. Their music was far better than all of those 80s hair metal bands. People actually want them to get back together. They are far from dead. The band may be but the music is not.

[PianoWireAbortion]

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll Guns N Roses IS still together, and nobody likes them because it's just a glorified cover band.

[lllULTIMATEMASTERlll]

@PianoWireAbortion The real Guns n roses broke up a long time ago. Now its just axl rose being an idiot

[PianoWireAbortion]

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll And VR/Slash's solo stuff is just hook->verse->chorus formula like a bad MCR song that goes through several singers.

[extremlycool]

U guys just watch the whole video he says like everything he plays just type in his name Daron malakian and it should be like the first couple videos he did a interview for guitar. Com

[TimJMorrison]

Why does this sound so horrible?

[thatcoolG]

@TimJMorrison umm becuz u dont like soad? or cuz the cameras crap and the mic is compressing the high and making it sound more bassy thats probably why

[Karlos4You]

What music does Daron play at 0:48?

[k4m112]

@Karlos4You its black sabbath - electric funeral :)

[j3d333]

which iceman is he playing first?? i thought it was an icx but the icx is smaller.

[infectionsman]

does anyone know what scalelength this baritone-guitar has?

[Karlos4You]

2:24 damage, inc. amazing!!

[Restinwater]

1:47 Kyuss-Gardenia

[jazenhearse]

this video taught me the beginning of suite pee all those years ago

[FadaArg]

2.41 The shortest straw - Metallica

[SystemDemon666]

hell yeah suite-pee 1:05

[wrightj1]

South of Heaven - SLAYER!!!!!!! 0.53

[Luvinhas]

this iceman is different...the form o.o

[Opeth619]

Its the Ice man baritone..

[madmanlll]

its an iceman 2... its got the baritone and everything lol

[ElGbayRGX]

The sound of his dist its like a maniac dist from DOD is it????

[FussSoad]

daron rocks!

[QOTSA1337]

1:55. FUCK YES Gardenia by KYUSS

[Mustaigadeth]

Man the first album kicked ass hard... Suite Pee, Know, PLUCK, and other goodies...

Need more stuff like that and less stuff like Lonely Day.

[FloroSapien]

What does he play at 0:36?

[mellyl555]

He should be classed as on of the top guitarists if you take songwriting into account.That should be more important than some emotionless robot who can play yngwie but cant create.Hes a true artist in every sense of the word

[TheGuerillaTactics]

hes I think number 30 in the worlds top 100 metal guitarists.

[7Kirtash7]

@mellyl555 Yngwie can't create?!

[Badjavdzija]

@mellyl555 He's actually pathetic. And no, I'm not gonna replay other comments. And yes, he is senseless, just listen to him, lol.

P.S. You are talking about artists? The 'robot who can play yngwie' is better artist thant this guy.

P.P.S. I'm not listening to Soad anymore (just not into that thing anymore) and I was not searching for this, I was actually looking for Ibanez Iceman, and suddenly saw this wannabe guitar player (yes, guitar player, he's far from a guitarist).

[PianoWireAbortion]

@Badjavdzija He's just wanking around and having fun. It's not like he's trying to impress anybody, which adds to his charm. He's not afraid to sit and play Slayer riffs in front of a camera and doesn't worry about anons complaining about videos from 10+ years ago on Youtube.

[mechkapechka]

@Badjavdzija i will just say houhouhou merry christmas :D

[DragonFanatic200]

@mellyl555 he is rankned 30 out of 100 metal guitarist

[aGothicStory]

He's a great songwriter. The music he writes it interesting, layered, and beautiful, no matter how much skill it takes to produce that sound

[mellyl555]

true the skill is in creating that sound!!

[darkmojo12]

true, the only thing the drugs do is inspire him to make fucked up songs like shes like heroin and vicinity of obscenity, theres plenty more, but i do wish hed focus more on his playing

[b4revenge]

agreed, he hasnt progressed much, but he is still classed as one of the 10 greatest guitarists

[b4revenge]

*100 my bad

[KrZrKiller]

1:05 name of the song pls:D

[stoppiiii]

suite pee

[Astaroth17ad]

suitee. pee

[DynamicEquillibrium]

2:42- 2:47 -- Shortest Straw

[barnickd]

I don't yet completely know if that was an insult or a compliment, or both. I will meditate on this further.

[mrmmjdc]

I freaking love Daron!

I love SOAD

SOAD FOREVER!!!!

[cryforadream]

[bcg1134]

[4FuckTheSystem]

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Now can you understand why you are a motherfucker?...

FUCK YOU!!

[Coolandsexy09]

Yeah u tell that little fuck.

[Coolandsexy09]

How can u say that you like SOAD, but hate the very person who is responsible for 80% or more of SOAD's songs. So, shit man! fuck u

[bleachsword27]

he made all the music for them even the bass tracks on mezmerize/hypnotize

[mickyhodge]

if im very much mistaken didn't he write majority of the lyrics too with serj of course, but he definitely contributed lyrically

[bleachsword27]

yea that too

[americagoesDOWN]

serj wrote lirycs for backmasking them

[NirvanainVain]

dude go suck a big one

[sovereignsjust]

I've got an ict700 it rocks........ HARD!

[0Hould0]

[punk4life1029]

[GRUNGERINNIRVANA]

[GrowTheCaine]

[Victim2SuJu]

[Shun101010]

it's the bad quality. and it's in dropped C tuning

[Lethallergy]

You sure? In the video he says the guitar is a baritone, so wouldn't it be in drop A or something?

[Unmauricio]

[azzans]

[azzans]

Daron likes drums more lololol

[nederbassie]

OK, haha, why did he than just started to be playing guitar and singing as a vocalist?

As I know into every band he did. haha

[noobarisss]

because his father didnt let him start playing drums when he was young,because he said drums cant be turned of!lol that is true!

[DannyVss]

[GrowTheCaine]

i dont think he knew about electric drums sadly

[DannyVss]

[peatersson]
