[MrAme96]

@LOVEmjALIVE Astoria 2005

[MrGuy1332]

I don't give a fuck about shredders I never have, This guy when he wants can play with feeling and excellent phrasing and that's all that matters in a guitarist.

[LOVEmjALIVE]

what the consert ?

[MrDeathocracy]

Ya not the most creative solo

[QueenBlairWaldorf1]

Daron é FODA !!!!

Toca muito

[Systematizados]

Daron for president !

[ChildPageants]

what concert is this?

[TheMac13D]

@ChildPageants 2005.05.10 - Philadelphia, Theater of Living Arts, USA

[skate0rDi33]

That reminds me a lot of the Hypnotize solo, which is pretty cool because hypnotize hadn't even come out yet when this was made and this was just a badass twist to Mr. Jack

[graziiika]

I love you Daron

I am grazy live in Brazil

I am a great fan of yours

[cheese0tron]

wow he can play a scale

[crawly5]

you can see him enyoing and feeling his guitar... that's amazing... greetings from argentina

[HypnotizeLIH]

Daron es dios carajo!!!! \m/ jajaja

y lo bueno esq ya abrieron fechas para el 2011

espero q vengan a mexico, aqi hay mucho fan de system Xp

[BritishMetalIsKing]

SG's FTW

[nukebacon876]

@PL4SMO i think it's all depending on the whole playing because

they're two different styles of music like in Avenged they normally have a little guitar duel...then a solo...then a little duel again...and Daron's solo's are just fun altogether...both bands are so alike yet so different at the same time...both great guitarists :)

[maxil4d]

daron + drugs = awesome guitarrist

[lilstrutter68]

@maxil4d i dont do drugs and they are not awesome at all but cannabis i mean i dont wanna come off that cannabis is cool but cannabis might get u laid or more freinds or land u a job and yes i am awesome

[orfeasdaron]

i know i reject all of these shreders without emotion.daron fucking rules 4 ever

[faivision]

@PL4SMO agree with you....daron got more soul on his solo's...

[slorr55]

His solos always sound like from india or somwere from asia and that

[faivision]

@slorr55 its middle east.are kind of tone deaf or what.....and their armenians, daron got lot of armenians background solo........u need to open up ur midn box a bit.. if u were young, than i understand...

[slorr55]

@faivision Yea I know from were they are and I just said what I thought.

Check your spelling before answering

[9540525]

from 1:00 Daron is tripping very hard!!!! nice! :)

very well-played solO!. groovy!

[mythistocles]

Sorry guys...System is by far my favorite band, but the god of guitar is definitely Synyster Gates.

[rvng100]

He reminds me Hansi Kurch in this video

[Schectler]

His facial appearances are priceless! I like it it's sounds jazzy :3 SOAD RULES

[Z3R04NGEL]

This just made me change my opinion of Daron Soloing ability, hes fucking awesome.

[faivision]

i will know its daron if i heard him play without seen his face,

[9540525]

Daron went on a trip on the 1-01 !!! look t him! so high and so in a good mood with his soul!

[bu22cola]

You got to love his solos. they are simple and they get you in the mood of the song.

[illusionFTW]

@bu22cola they are not all of them simple..

[bu22cola]

@illusionFTW true not all of them

[kevinflores32]

ahaha me2

[MeetTheEnd]

That man is unbelievable! Every time I hear him playing like this I realize that I'm a Daron-junkie!^^

[systemofadownfans]

the best solo maker

[orfeasdaron]

i believe he is the best riff maker not solo. but he is incredible

[faivision]

@orfeasdaron he can make solo, if he want to..plus hes solo got more soul, than other top solo guitarist...

[jodsangels]

@orfeasdaron he is good riff maker and i am huge fan but.. the best riff make is James Hetfilied from Metallica No one can be this Rhythem Master ;)

[Illidan803]

@jodsangels shut up faggot

daron's got more talent in the tips of his hair than hetfield does in his whole body

[jodsangels]

@Illidan803 Huh seems to me ur 6 year old fat boy has nothing to besides eating look idoit .. Metallica Master Of Puppets Album Can Beat Any Of Soad Albums or all of them .. and btw i am DieHard Soad Fan

[Illidan803]

@jodsangels hetfield's a fuckin tool

go cry faggot

[jodsangels]

@Illidan803 faggot ur dad i told u that daron is one of the best but not better then hetfield bellive me hetfield is rhythem god

[Illidan803]

@jodsangels daron is far better than hetfield could ever be lol

to make things worse, hetfield fucking sucks at singing

[Intotheorchard]

@Illidan803 Better then hetfield lol? I hate metallica, but I would never say something as dumb as what you said. Daron can't play lead or rhythm half as good as james can. Tuning down to C or D and playing powerchords is not hard, and neither is any system of a down song.

[Illidan803]

@Intotheorchard And really, neither is any Metallica song. And it's already evident that Daron can play Metallica songs with ease.

SOAD and Metallica are two totally different styles of metal, they're incomparable in how their music is played.

[faxalu]

@Illidan803 Does it even matter if it's hard to play power chords? What you need to understand is that music is how it sounds, music is harmony and feeling, it's not what you can do with a piece of wood, it's how you can make it sound, retard.

[tutorialesandres1]

@Intotheorchard as noted you do not know with all my respect metallica xD but Daron Malakian in 2011 alcanso now ranked number 21 in the rankin best guitarists in the world ass so if you do not know do not talk

[barros1711]

@orfeasdaron Indeed one of the best riff makers, not solo :)

[zackypooofillinois]

@orfeasdaron he usually has a lot of energy live aswell. that has a lot to do with how i favor guitarists. if you don't feel it your not doing it right

[MrJimMarshall1]

Ah yo tengo el DVD de ese concierto!!!!

[marchigenial]

wow wie geil!

[cssNuramoN]

this is one old demo version i guess. cos ive never heard it before, and i guess i know every soad album good enough to say that this is not part of one.

[letterspand]

You're right - he only plays like that live

[madcorne]

i THINK it was part of P.I.G. .. That song freaked me out when i heard it, its Mr Jack BACKWARDS!!!

[orfeasdaron]

both daron + herman lee are best on guitar . but i dislike dragonforce . soad 4 life

[GrowTheCaine]

have u ever seen Yngwee?

[reepianims]

This is actually from their first demo tape of 1995 in which is the song PIG (old version of Mr.Jack) :P look it up bizzlitchez

[dustyntylr]

but...he just started playing marshal and gibson right before mezmorize and hypnotize. Before he played ibanez and boogie...

Also, their style changed from when they first started. He wouldnt have worn a hoodie back then on stage. Also, he didnt grow his hair out till later system =P

[ogidybooman9128]

hmm not a slolo look up what it means der duh der tries to bite ear

[Jogus123]

fuck, daron is amazing... he's god! B;D

i love U Daron!

I love SYSTEM oF A DOWN!

[mikeheroguitar]

do you know what is a solo? this is only a dumb shit

[ItsJesusHey]

Are you fucking retarded? Do you know the definition of the word 'solo'? You should probably go learn it before posting 'dumb shit' on youtube, faggot. Of course that's assuming you can read, are you illiterate too?

[1000visionz]

I'd really love tabs for this

[ekrystian93]

tabs please ;<

[ManiacPig]

I agree i think alot of times when they (Media) make a "top guitarist" list they only look for technicallity when in real life they should look at many different attributes that a guitarist brings (technique,creativity,etc.) and its sad because a lot of times great ARTISTS(DARON MALAKIAN) dont get proper dues. there is a difference between a musician and a artist i believe. Daron fuckin rocks.

[Systemofashane]

this is off part of pig in there 1995 demo tape

[poopasoreass]

yup its the solo from pig

[Systemofashane]

i thought so, i liek it..

[TheStarfish13]

pig was found on the demo tape and they renamed it mr jack later

[newfell1]

Daron is god of guitare!

[xXBratHXx]

thats right :D

[DJCa1eb]

hail yea

[MgSsNaKeEaTeRBoSs]

@newfell1 Hell yeah !!!

[elitechad255]

i couldn't stop laughing when he had his ass hanging out lol.

He's crazy, and i hope they come back to system soon.

[DJCa1eb]

one said their on permanent hiatus, buncha bullshit, a great band truely

[lifteruper2]

masturbation is good for the right hand if u play guitar lol

[pandemichalo92]

Daron said that on an interview XD haha

[signofthehammer]

o.o

[TheShadowTaz]

this is awesome!

[Jogus123]

o shit! this is beautyfull:D

DAron genius of guitar;))

lovely <3 \m/

[StoragedMelodies]

This was wonderful

<3

[xheartshapebox]

its the simplicity that is beautiful

[skaterlovre]

soad rox 4ever

[AirlineFoodSucks]

Just because it's simple that doesn't make it bad. Look at AC/DC. The album Back in Black is the second highest selling album ever and it's basically the same song again and again but with different lyrics. And the funny thing is, it sounds good too.

System aren't like them but they do have simple riffs that are still very good.

Best riff ever is Smoke on the Water. I can play it with my eyes closed and I'm no that great at guitar too.

[dillpicle1]

system of a down is my favorite band ever

[alonline]

it's nice to hear it what the fuck do you all want?

what is the good sound got to do with the fact that it's an easy song?

chop suey is an easy song, and not a lot of people could get somthing that beautiful even after 10 years of skill.

so use your head punks.

thx for upload :)

[RetardProductions01]

hes not tired i think he very very very stoned haha look at him

[ddrumsman549]

Dude this is good. Different. Creative. It isn't crazy technical, but very musical. It does not have to be hard to be good!

[barnickd]

any one can play a scale fast and call it improv, but it takes musical talent to write a solid song (which System of a Down does very well). Any musician will tell you that.

[chike36]

....your an idiot..faith no more?..what world do u live in kid?

[ucihapokujin]

that's because he is. but don't tell anyone here

they'll just get uppity about how system of a down is unparalleled in talent and origninality even by the bands that they ripped off and still fall horribly short of

[JulioV48]

What do you think is better? DRAGONFORCE? Just because those fags made "Hardest Guitar Hero song" doesn't make them the best. That band really sucks, even with or without technology.

[HawKReaper8]

Dragon force is just all video, have you seen their concerts!?

THEY FAIL!@#$%^&

[ItsJesusHey]

Dragonforce is really about the shittiest band in the universe, and to be honest shred sounds like bullshit without feeling. Jazz and blues soloing is much better.

[def3mno62]

Dragonforce has amazing guitarists there is no doubt about it heck all of them can play their instruments like masters... but they can't write music worth a shit and their lyrics are so retarded

[SigmaStudioz]

Fuck you. You're not better than system. Listen to toxicity for drums. You're 15 or 16 year old will get his ass blown off. Thet guitarist that you hate so much was voted 4th best of the year accoording to rolling stones magazine. You're a fucking dickbag. Daron is cool. System rules. Go fuck yourself.

[KornSOAD]

as a matter of fact, dumbass, John is the best fucking drummer alive today. Suck my fucking dick you ass fuck.

[ucihapokujin]

roy wooten could kick that guy's ass with one stick while regi and victor rape the guitar and bass, respectively

[barnickd]

The Wooten brothers and SoaD playing completely different styles of music. You are comparing apples to oranges, and you are nothing but a troll. You look up Daron Malakian videos and post hate comments on them. I don't believe you are a musician, and if you are you are a disgrace. And what you are doing is childish.

[guitarman87]

Why are you watching videos of Daron if you don't like System? Dicksicles like you never cease to amaze. Many people (not just teenagers) like the band and Daron as a guitarist. Instead of wasting your time bitching about bands you don't like, how about you do something more productive, like killing yourself.

[wallis3r3]

... stfu prick and watch the vid or fuck off.

[handmiadenofgod]

I've heard many of your kind whining about how the big bad System of a Down ripped off Faith no More. At first I took these claims legitimately and looked the guys up. Guess what, they sound COMPLETLEY different. And as for Faith no More being so underground, the first video I found of them had an MTV logo in the corner. Ha, take that :P Stop trolling and waisting everyone's time. By the by, I know many non teenagers who love SOAD ;)

[spookmm]

I agree ... they dnt give him what he deserves !! he is talented !! incredibly fast and lot of things just watch the soad live concerts guys

[nattyboy781]

that was amazing

[BarneTvDude]

Mr. Jack is even better live! (didn't know that was possible)

[battlevixens77]

dude, this is EPIC. favorited.

[houmatt721]

this is sex

[SigmaStudioz]

Wow. I just lost my virginity.....

[4FuckTheSystem]

que cambio le dieron al intro.. si se la rifoo Daron. es mi idolo y ojala pueDA tocar como el

[BustaMonkey1234]

amasing! this is truly aawesom

[damadecada20]

wonderful!! Maravilhoso!!!

[PurpleCloudsOfWater]

so awesome.

[pezdispenser01]

the solo was the intro to the original demo version of mr. jack and it was called P.I.G.

[SCarsonSOAD]

yep from the Demo Tapes

[AtalHakkar]

yes its mr.jack listen to the musik in the baground..

[AtalHakkar]

background...ahh fuck you know what i mean..

[TheBrilliantSunchips]

is that really system of a down? why is daron using an SG?

[DevilzDriver]

its probably later on during their career.

[PurpleCloudsOfWater]

haha he used an SG on the Mezmerize/Hypnotize tour.  this is from that tour.

[ericaisall]

ummmm...somebody ahould post the whole song...or is it up already???? HELP!!! i wanna watch the whole song...btw, i love me some daron malakian...

[thien0995]

lol is that really mr. jack, or an improv?

[flamingstick]

mr.jack, you can hear the simalirity to the orginal version at 00:28 or just look up mr.jack 2005

[futurfry]

all their concerts rock, just at big day out they were so tired they could hardly breath

[venator512]

system tuning is easy guys, your making this too hard.

everything is in drop C until hypnotize/mezmerize and then they started tuning to a half step down from drop D (a half step up from drop C)

for the newbies, drop d is same as standard tuning, but with a low d on top. drop c is a step down from that.

if you still cant figure that out, go back to piano

[nicoado]

this song like all the other ones in steal this album is in drop c

[noloveinfear21]

On the cd yes but here it is like ibanezbloke said. Drop d down a semitone.

C# B# C# F# Bb Eb

[Selumiana]

man youre such a noob

the tuning you called is NOT dropepd d

dropped d is

D A D G B E

The tuning C# B# C# F# Bb Eb has no name but i call it dropped Cis

[Eldanarr]

man, he said drop d down a semitone...:)

[isemale]

This is the best solo ever! Agree with me xD

[L33tm4st3r]

nope, his live Psycho solo is the best :D

[ScottysGuitar]

i wouldnt say that.

[ComradeBilbo]

this is a really good solo

[Stealthispipo]

simplemente sensacional!

[PvtChuy]

Daron Rulz 8)!

[jeanfulx]

armenian style

[isemale]

I love this<3

[yamimaerli]

Perfect

[redrider3077]

sounds like a sitar

[zantoine]

one of the bieautifil solo in my life

[geegooman2323]

it's definitely mr jack but im thinking that the guitars were tuned to drop d or whatever mezmerize/hypnotize uses.

[Bamshu]

Drop D flat.

[jeremy9222]

or drop C or double drop D or whatever ya wanna call it :P

[ibanezbloke]

Drop D down a semitone, not drop d flat

[mrhappydudes]

i swear its drop c

[ibanezbloke]

THis song is Dropped D down a tone, As far as I remember

[leechowning]

drop d down 1 step (or drop c) its the system standard

[chike36]

yes it is in the cd but in live shows daron uses drop d the whole show.

[AttaKru]

Really, drop D ? You mean DADGBE, i thought they always use CGCFAD

[chike36]

yes it is CGCFAD but in live concerts daron dosent tune to it he just stays in DADGBE.

[RuneMo2]

listen to the bass in the background, Shavo is playin mr jack

this solo is 100% middle eastern

[Pherwro]

daron rocks but that vid sucks. low quality :<

[hahapudding]

daron is fuckin awesome xD

[ApplestreetTV]

daron's great

[karenljuarez]

this is a mr jack solo i have seen the whole video for this i was actually looking for it when i bumped into it. also hear the bass. there is no other song that has the same bass. and serj plays here too which is pretty cool but later removes his guitar promptly. i guess he only needed it for the beginning.
