  • Sistem Of Down it´s like band.

    Avenged it´s fantastic , i love Brian M. Shadows and zack. Fuck me now gays!!

  • i hope a7x are just a 'gateway' band for kids.

  • Rev always messed with Syn when they're being interviewed. It's hilarious. :D

  • Down the road, BOTH ARE AMAZING BANDS! I gotta say System of a down got me into Metal and Rock in general, and Avenged Svenfold is just as amazing as SOAD.

  • Nerd argument below me.

  • To be honest, I love both bands,and they are both really really good and talented. The only difference is that I've listened to A7X for longer. I still love both of them.

  • Jimmy is too cute, I miss him so much. I love the way he talks!! And Syn, "Come closer!"

  • @MillerIsJesus Metallica! (:

  • you are being tools.

  • A7x talking about soad? Soad's much bigger then they are, and will be

  • @TheChernobylBoy ....So fucking what? What the hell are you trying to get across?

  • This awful band doesn't deserve to even mention a genius band like system of a down.

  • @TunaaaFishhh According to this video, they were talking about a song by the band, not the band in general. Derp. :D

  • @TunaaaFishhh what

  • I love the Rev, he's so hilarious

  • te rev right in the beggining lol he is the shit

  • I love you rev rest in peace!

  • @MillerIsJesus @Zimx02 System of a Down was the band that introduced me to heavier bands like Gojira and Meshuggah, But every now and then, I go back and listen to Toxicity or their self titled album and be blown away by how heavy they are. Hypnotize and Mesmerize, not so much. Steal This Album! was like, their transition into a softer sound. Still awesome, though.

    Also, the discussion about SoaD's lyrics. They may seem silly, but in reality, a lot of them are about serious issues.

  • @MiddleGrounder I know they're about serious issues, but they're still simplistic and rely too much in silliness. People are acting like just because they touch on serious issues, the lyrics are suddenly deep and philosophical. In reality, they just touch on the surface- a caricature with little depth and exploration of the subject.

    Listen to "Remenissions" by Avenged. It's such an emotional and genuine approach to atheism and existentialism written in manner reminiscent of Poe.

  • @MillerIsJesus Yeah, that is granted. They ARE a real metal band on that basis, and I'm not saying you are deeming yourself a metalhead on the sole basis that you listen to SOAD. My claim is entirely hypothetical in order to illustrate a point.. Just tying loose ends so we can all come to a concise common ground.

  • @MillerIsJesus Moreover, were someone to deem himself a "metalhead" on the basis that he listens to SoaD, I'd be quick to deem him a poser as I would to someone who does the same but with metalcore, and would point towards more core (I don't mean the hardcore punk suffix) metal bands and genres such as death, melodeath, black, thrash (albeit it's somewhat of a fusion genre), brutal death, etc.

    SOAD is not really representative of 'metal' or the 'scene', and we can agree with that, right?

  • @MillerIsJesus You could be technically right, but that just leads to the point that there's really nothing objectively better about being real metal or a fusion band given that if we're to extend to title to every band that fits given technicalities, there is really no bragging rights or credentials behind the title. It is a superfluous factor that should only be brought up were there any misunderstanding regarding what genres the bands pertain to (which was from the side of the a7x tweens).

  • @MillerIsJesus Wow, people are saying that SOAD has a fanbase of 13 year old SCENE kids and that A7x is bigger than them?

    God, A7x is my favorite band of all time, but I swear they have the most retarded fanbase possible. All these dipshit teenyboppers that think riding the band's dick somehow makes them good fans and knowledgeable in music are all morons and they can go die. They're nothing but an embarrassment.

    Other than that SoaD isn't 'real' metal. They're just alt/nu metal.

  • @bbiksheridan When has SOAD ever topped charts?

    Are you fucking retarded? They've topped the charts in the U.S 3 times with albums, countless times in other countries. Their sales beat out A7Z by just a couple of hundreds of thousands, and you say they have a bigger following? LOLOLOL.

    Check your facts. Props to this SuperMegaFl0yd for dealing with your bullshit in a mature manner.

  • @MiddleGrounder Thank you :)

  • the first song i've heard and so far the only song i fave and know from soad..its odd hearing it again :)

  • @bbiksheridan Both Mezmerize and Hypnotize debuted at #1 on the charts. Those albums were released in the same year.

  • @bbiksheridan I sincerely doubt that Avenged Sevenfold has a larger following than System. Also, System is still together, buddy. :P

  • @bbiksheridan That's a good point. But, the point of my whole argument is that System's lyrics have a deeper meaning behind them whereas A7X's lyrics are just empty and soulless.

  • @SuperMegaFl0yd A7x's lyrics in general are far more meaningful than SoaD's. This is excluding the shitstain that is their self-titled album (which IS meaningless, empty, and soulless).

    If you track back their to their first 3 albums, that's where the real lyricism comes up. They've written a lot about nihilism, existentialism, the delusions of religion, politics, and many other forms of despair in a matter reminiscent of Poe and Robert Frost. SoaD tends to be really oversimplified and silly.

  • @Zimx02 youre a fuckin idiot. listen to the song war and tell me theyre simple

  • @zzPinkTacozz37 I heard it. They're pretty simple. Now you go listen to "Blinded in Chains", it's a similar subject, but it goes more in depth and is just better written.

  • @Zimx02 no it isnt. these guys are bad.. really bad. theyre fascists so it cant be the same subject matter. the song "War?" by SOAD is questioning the reasons of war and proclaiming how ridiculous it is to kill another human or animal because of who they are. Avenged Sevenfold likes war. You dont know what you are missing here

  • @zzPinkTacozz37 Oh look, another idiot that doesn't know what "fascist" means and still throws the term around.

    It is a very similar subject matter. Can't you read or do you just go by what people tell you? Both songs talk about how the government and society uses religion as a justification for their personal agenda- a sort of brainwash. Avenged also mentions how other mediums (such as patriotism) and psychological struggle take part.

    Avenged doesn't support the war, they support the troops.

  • @Zimx02 they sold shirts on tour with an american flag and the quote "Love it or die" That sounds fascist to me

  • @zzPinkTacozz37 Oh well yeah, they didn't really mean that if you don't love it you should die. It's facetious.

    They said that it was sort of a counter-statement to all those kids little kids that were becoming anti-America just to be cool. You can read about it on the internet.

  • @zzPinkTacozz37 hey, dude, is that true. that they were selling shirts like that??

  • @HateMePlz123 Yeah man. If you look it up on google you can see them and i read some article on it

  • @Zimx02 wooh don't be dissin the self-titled album, (my favorite) (: but good point my friend.

  • @MrSam32751 It sucks. it's awful. Only musically uneducated 13 year olds like it. :l

  • @SuperMegaFl0yd have you heard Fiction or So Far Away? That's about as full of emotion as lyrics can get.

  • @MrSam32751 Fiction isn't very emotional. Waking the Fallen is full of far more emotional songs.

  • @Zimx02 I'm not denying waking the fallen is emotional, but dude...really!? Ha it was the last song the rev did, he turned it in 3 days before he died! and it was about dying and telling the ones you loved to move on and it was originally title "death" I think that's pretty emotional and eerie considering the circumstances. just sayin.

  • @MrSam32751 The Rev's last song could have been about anal sex, but that wouldn't make it more emotional. A casual listener that isn't aware of the context of the song wouldn't think it's that emotional.

    Looking back though, I have to say that the song does get pretty emotional, especially the forlorn chorus about hell. I wouldn't put Fiction as an example of "dats as emotional as it gets" though, especially considering that every song in WTF is seething with pain. It just sounds ignorant.

  • @Zimx02 but he knew he was gonna die and wrote about it in that song so that's why it is. but maybe sad or ironic or eerie would be better words to describe it. i hear what ur sayin. but i dont listen to wtf because i dont like all screaming in a song so i only like half the songs on that album so i dont even know about the lyrics in that one so ill take your word that it's the most emotional lol

  • @MrSam32751 What makes you sure he knew he was going to die? According to everyone it was accidental overdose, so I wouldn't make claims like that. Either way, that is STILL part of the extrinsic context, meaning that all you're describing is still from OUTSIDE the song, not the song itself. His full lyrics are not even featured.

    If you don't like screaming, then you don't know much about metal. I would avoid getting into arguments with other people because they'll eat you alive.

  • @Zimx02 I prefer singing to screaming, that doesn't mean I don't know metal. I like screaming when you do it occasionally like in their three most recent albums because you show you actually have vocal talent and then show screaming talent as well. I like singing because it's harder and it actually changes constantly (the notes, harmonies, ect.) where screaming is the same thing the whole time just the lyrics change. So you listen to what you like and just calm down a little bit.

  • @MrSam32751 As I said, kids shouldn't talk about what they know nothing.  Screaming does have many dynamics too. And yeah, you don't know much about metal because by not listening to any "scream" music, you're ignorant about so many genres of metal like death and black.

  • @Zimx02 ive heard those genres..and i dont like them so i dont listen to them. go cut yourself.

  • @MrSam32751 So you're an uneducated, tasteless tween. Then kindly shut your uneducated mouth. Little musically uneducated faggot tweens like you only give A7x a bad name. You're the reason everybody thinks A7x fans are all 13 year old tween dipshits or trailer trash rednecks that know nothing about metal.

  • @Zimx02 I'm uneducated? I'll be more successful than you in life. I have a 4.21. Taste is subjective and that's not true anyway. My favorite band is Led Zeppelin. You probably can't play any instruments good so don't talk about musical education. I know way more about musical theory than you. I have a girlfriend so I'm not a faggot. I'm 17 so I'm not a tween. Rednecks listen to country music, not rock you idiot so I'm definitely not that. I just negated everything you said. Get some real points.

  • @MrSam32751 -Taste is subjective, but that does not mean it's arbitrary & all tastes are on the same ground. After all, taste is based on_ knowledge, comprehension_, and identification.

    -I can play musical instruments. What makes you think you know more about musical theory than me, and how do you think that makes you educated in respect to genres? "Tween" and "faggot" are used in the condescending figurative sense as it's usual.

    -There are rednecks that listen to metal.See: Three Days Grace

  • @MrSam32751 -Rednecks also listen to rock. The category (or stereotype) is more broad than you seem to think. Even "Joe Dirt's" favorite bands were all rock bands (AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leppard, Van Halen..). Rock and rednecks aren't mutually incompatible.

    -Yes you are uneducated. Half of the physics department had that GPA, that does not make you educated nor telling yourself that you're going to be more successful than me. Those are red herrings. You've obviously never taken logic.

  • @MrSam32751 -You obviously know nothing about argumentation, so stop pretending you do. You're still in fucking highschool, and yet you try to say that you're educated? I mean, it's possible that you've read on your own or taken dual credit college classes in logic, but that's evidently not true. Don't confuse your GPA with intelligence. Your piss poor logic skills make you sound like you're going to be some dumbass English, psychology, or business major anyway.

  • @MrSam32751 -So in the end, you effectively refuted nothing. You're still an uneducated, tasteless, tween faggot and now a moron too.

    As I said, don't try to discuss about music if you practically know nothing about it or you're going to get chewed up. In fact, don't try to talk about anything if you don't know much about anything.

  • @Zimx02 Exactly. You couldn't respond logically to anything I said. As I said before, I know 10 times as much about music as you, so don't talk about things you know nothing about. Name-calling, instead of refuting points, is for 12 year olds. (:

  • @MrSam32751 You must have missed the other 3 comments where all the rebuttals take place. Bitch please, I'm a physics and philosophy dual major. I know my argumentation skills. lol

  • @MrSam32751 Zimx02 kicked your ass in 5 comments with big words you cant even comprehend.

  • @MrSam32751 LOL Mastodon are rednecks? you cant generalize groups of people into what music they listen to depending on where they're from. if that were the case, then i'd be listening to dizzy rascal or some crap, which i would hate :P

  • @xXDomHeavensXx fine, well im not a fuckin red neck, anybody got any proof? thats what i thought. keep makin up shit (not you)

  • @bbiksheridan You implied that they were "real metal" (whatever that means) as opposed to System of a Down. (I do happen to listen to Lamb of God occasionally) System's music has a political stance behind it. It's on neither side. It points out the bullshit of everybody. It has a purpose and it serves a point. A7X, on the other hand, is incredibly generic and bane. Their guitar riffs, yes, are somewhat incredible. As are the drums. But, the lyrics are just plain boring and mediocre at best.

  • @bbiksheridan "Avenged Sevenfold on the other hand is amazing. " A direct quote from you on the previous page.

  • @bbiksheridan So, you're saying that A7X is real metal? Excuse me while I laugh.

  • system of a down is the best rock band in the world!!! and a7x are really awesome too.

  • Brian had a truck? :D

  • i love how they didnt know who system of a down are yet system of a down was really popular before they were

  • @bbiksheridan Just because your opinion is that it isn't 'real metal' doesn't mean it isn't real music. Also try listening to many genres of music to give yourself some perspective :P

  • @bbiksheridan You moron! What age are you? You sound like you are about 13 years old!

  • ....Jimmy was adorable....

  • @bbiksheridan "Soad is alright if you're 13" ...I don't see how age is a valid to reason to like/dislike System of a down, I would understand if you were talking about a band like limp bizkit. haha :)

  • @SocaillyAwkward Are you kidding?

    You like Limp Bizkit?

    Limp Bizkit is alright if youre 13.Video-clips with skates and kidd things...

    Are you black?

    FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKER

  • @bbiksheridan You sir, are an idiot. Good day!

  • lol so happy i saw soad may 21st 2011 now im seeing a7x in november my 2 favorite bands
