Serj Tankian - Sky Is Over (Alt Video)

[Archlort]

LOL so many usally give a shit about art didnt u know music is art!

[DerTeke]

In my opinion this video is by far better then the other one.

[MrTOSHA1980]

Velikaya Armyanskaya Naciya!!!!!!!!!!!

[zZorgZz]

Usually I don't give a shit about art, but I would pay ANYTHING to have this in my livingroom!!

[Traubensaftify]

wow, this is amazing :)) and really inspiring! even though you can see art in everything, this is what I like to call real art.

[ItzzFatal]

who is the guy in the video?? my 6 year old cousin can paint that "picture"

[Azkylon]

@ItzzFatal you, my friend, fail to see the art as you only look at the picture. The art is the creation of that picture and the feelings expressed in it's creation.

[MrandMrsSodapop]

WOW!

[lacimenethill]

lalaalalalalalalalalalalalalal­alalalaalalalalalalalalalalala­lalalalalaalalalalalalalalalal­alalalalalalaalalalalalalalala­lalalalalalalalaalalalalalalal­alalalalalalalalalaalalalalala­lalalalalalalalalalalaalalalal­alalalalalalalalalalalalaalala­lalalalalalalalalalalalalalaal­alalalalalalalalalalalalalalal­aalalalalalalalalalalalalalala­lalaalalalalalalalalalalalalal­alalalaalalalalalalalalalalala­lalalalalaalalalalalalalalalal­alalalalalalaalalalalalalalala­lalalalalalalalaalalalalalalal­alalalalalalala

[maninthehood]

I think his songs are tragic because of his armenian background, the armenians suffered alot

[SMACKu2b]

@maninthehood His individual background as an Armenian wasn't necessarily tragic. Possibly his parents or his grandparents may have had an influence, but he never really sings much about issues that are not apparent around the entire world. I think his songs are tragic because of the nature of humanity as a whole.

[cldrules]

I love this song so much.

[MrVorys]

93 people suck's

[voteforitnow]

is the artist daron malakians dad?

[USAdekardNY]

@voteforitnow no no man...he is vahe berberian ...i found it right in this page:DD

[simplypieFTW]

@voteforitnow

the artist is the lead singer of system of a down which was the band daron played in. I think they are friends hes way too young to b daron's dad lol

[molomix]

@voteforitnow no, daron's father is called Vartan Malakian.

[USAdekardNY]

[c0d3x001]

[SAMZEERAF]

Somehow made painting epic :)

[NipponGor]

[TheHUMANIDEE]

[TheAmorphio]

Serj is the best compositor of this world

[DaNiCaRaCoW]

Ironic that a song with a strong save mother earth message has a video version that starts with a man having a smoke.

I love this song so so much, but had to say that.

[an0th3rg0th]

ahh vartan malakian :) cant belive noones mentioned that yet lol

[Diyakuchiki]

wai ton<3



[BIGTOAST75]

Is that Serjs grandpa?

[an0th3rg0th]

@BIGTOAST75 nope its daron malakians dad the guy who did the designs for darons guitars and also the album covers for mesmerize and hypnotize and some other thing with system of a down and he did the cover for scars on broadways album and also did the artwork for the scars on broadway album.

[BIGTOAST75]

@an0th3rg0th Wow, no wonder Darons so talented. Apples don't fall to far from the tree ya knowz.

[MyMusicIsEpic]

That guy prob spent 2 or more hours painting, and all he did was get a blue canvas with 2 smugy clouds and a dot, sorry but thats just stupid.

[wassapping]

@MyMusicIsEpic dude wtf how like are u retarded look when it ends the sky is over us did u notice or where u to busy critizing the dam video if u dont like it go else where its pointless to waste ur breathe u dis it cauz u dont get it

[MyMusicIsEpic]

@wassapping Trust me I'm not retarded, you cant seem to spell anything let alone use proper grammar, anyway yes I looked at it in the end, you tell me what you see in the painting. Since I see 2 clouds, a black streak and some vapors at the top.

[wassapping]

@MyMusicIsEpic one im not gonna take my time on my grammar are u a F*$King teacher its the god dam sky thats wat the paintin is its his art dont tell me y u hate it and u dont get it serj's musics means more then just words his song is excellent and the painting tells the story he sits below it the sky is over us he says it in the song u just dont seem to realize to put the song and video together realize what he talks about before u criticize his painting it has

[MyMusicIsEpic]

@wassapping I laughed when I was done reading that, thanks lol.

[wassapping]

@wassapping a meaning

[crazedscotsman553]

@wassapping Replying to yourself. I get it but "Way to go Champ!"

[rickyleoadams]

@MyMusicIsEpic I agree, the painting itself is not appealing whatsoever. It is the meaning that it contains that makes it unique and interesting. I think that is what the guy you are arguing with is trying to say... or he could just be bitching... Im not too sure.

[HeadbangingDude2011]

i dont wanna see you go, the sky is over.

[bloodydiareah]

92 people have a different taste in music and that's okay!

[FuckDragonQuest]

i always thought this song and empty walls were directed towards bush

[expy23]

Amazing



[Armeniking]

Bravoo. Nazareth Shahinian New York Ne wJersey 551-4045282 office: 201-840-7004 welcome..

[AnnaMansonEliseeva]

die 92 leute, die auf gefällt mir nicht drücken haben keinen geschmack :D!

[gomapiuma]

è bellissimo!

[gomapiuma]

[lillyfly1]

That's one epic finger pain.

[SacroSanctusm]

Obvious troll is obvious. 

[FLECHADERECHA]

I love the painting...it is magic

[fireblaze7878]

love the video X3



[AgosLoco]

the trolls dont understand the painting

i would buy it

[LOLwafflesPRODUCTION]

The painting sold for $400 in whoppers

[MrDaronmalakian13]

wats with the old dood smoking @the beginning?! haha

[ColeJack123]

worst, painting, ever...

[TheShmarny]

@ColeJack123

the worst thing was your dad sperm. why oh why you were first?

[ColeJack123]

@TheShmarny oh pal you so funny. I wish I was so funny, like you. maaan, me so jelly of you bro

[keepperi]

@TheShmarny He wasn't the fastest sperm cell... He was only.

[artinhopar818]

haha its vahe

[TheFaolanEffect]

@LilWayneMetalGod ROFL. Little Wayne is a sad individual who chose his career over his children and couldn't rap worth a damn without a bottle of extra strength dextromethorphene cough syrup. All of his friends want him to quit his excessive use of the drug and he simply tells them to stfu or gtfo. It wont be too much longer before he burns his brain out from overusing DXM. He will die before the end of the next decade, I can promise you that. REAL musicians don't need Autotune to sound good.

[olUncrankablelo]

i wouldve easily paid $10,000 cash right now for that painting when it was at the 01:19 point, thats beautiful

[xazoxaroumenon02]

The sky is over us.

[Sparks077]

Is the guy in the vid Daron's father? I know his father was an artist and did the album art for SOAD's Mezmerize and I'm 99% sure he did Hypnotize's too. I've seen a picture of his dad once and a light in my head went off as soon as I saw this guy. Can't find a picture ATM for reference, though. Anyone know for sure?

[DerBlauePavian]

awesome voice => awesome song

wierd video ; )

= great

[AnnaramaTV]

System!!! Serj!!! 4 Ever!!!

[VaughnBell]

that looks like serj?

[ChaosValentineSosuke]

if someday i ever become part of a big band this is what im going to do.

*looks at video options* turns off comments....

[cnfsd46]

Vahe varbed great job tserkert talar

[marcheapple1]

1 L <3



[ConnorLikes]

the sky ist over....the love is over

[montserratdasha]

<3 I love

[sargentnoob]

I love how if he targets a country, he targets their government not their people.

[JOECHOPYTACO]

@sargentnoob its government that makes up people whether it would be a dictatorship and the people revolting against it, or a theocracy making people religious.

[razielrocks]

Im gunna say something that people don't say on youtube comment sections anymore..... This is a great song, I love it. And the video is cool to! Serj Tankian is a great artist.

[Dateofdawn]

2:19 i think he's magic.. (his glasses stay clean!)

[VvWARPIGvV]

@Dateofdawn haha i was thinking the same thing

[jimmisFOR]

can I get the name of the artist plz...His painting looked awesome!

[MrArmenian4ever]

@jimmisFOR his name is Vahe Berberian

[TheRockingEndo]

@LilWayneMetalGod

Right, lets get this right...

Your gay and Serj is amazing.

AGREE?

[timmytimmytimmeh]

1:16  I hope thats a painting and not a real picture.

[rave4akiochanXD]

@timmytimmytimmeh

i think thats a real photo....looks like something i saw in a war musem o.o

[BigMGSBoss]

@rave4akiochanXD

Yes, it is a real photograph, you will also see it in System Of A Down's Documentary, "Screamers".

This is what the Turks did to the Armenians, as well as the Greeks.

From the early 1800s to the early 1900s, the Turks were killing Christians, and nobody cared.

There aren't any words to describe the actions of the Turks, it was so hellish.

They didn't just kill the people, they had "fun" with.

They broke your spirit

There is also a segment in Dostoevsky's, "Brothers Karamazov".

[Pan0sTheGreek]

@BigMGSBoss I know, and i thank you a million for expressing this.I personally am from Greece and ,there is an entire history of people of Messologi(Middle Greece)which were surrounded by Turks for days,and when their supplies ran out they had to eat rats and drink sea water!Finally they decided to make a sudden outbreak because as they said(If I die in this battle,at least i have died in honour!")

[Truckersrule100]

@LilWayneMetalGod hold on how is sex drugs and money more importtant than the shit Serj is singing about, i swear people are so fucking stupid dont get me wrong lil wayne is alright but Serj is WAY better better and he dont need autotune cuz hehis voice is alot better than that shit

STUPID TROLLS

[TheEOGeek]

I'm curious that even on songs about peace we still fight, and its not just "ignorant americans". I love Serj's works and once I want to know what his reactions are to these comments..

I wish there was a way to make those comments go away.

[666BLeue]

@TheEOGeek I know how you feel.

[bigbadvader369]

@TheEOGeek Its human nature friend. We will always fight no matter how much we talk about peace and harmony. The human race isn't ready to live that way. We see it everyday and we've seen it through history.

[RiPTheRevAx7]

@LilWayneMetalGod Lil wayne is the one who needs sorry USES Autotune and i'm pritty sure that the 95% more money he has over lilwayne means he dont need to 'steal jobs from americans' beside the most idiots likt lil wayne can do is illigal the reason america needs so many foren people to come over is to do the majority of jobs most of you idiot american are to dumb to do =)

[noobpwner1242]

@RiPTheRevAx7 hey hey hey not all americans are dumb just some like him

[noobpwner1242]

@RiPTheRevAx7 and i mean lilwaynemetalgod

[BKehlet]

guys, guys, guys. dont feed the troll

[ShanePlew]

@BKehlet But doesn't it seem kind of mean to let him starve?

[dmitrofanoff]

@BKehlet What are you talking about?

[BKehlet]

@dmitrofanoff that comment was like 6 months old. everybody was arguing over a troll

[TheCrinison]

@LilWayneMetalGod Yes, because people ar hiring musicans right now. Yes because he is Armenian. And yes to auto tune. Your comment is the MOST PERFECT THING I have SEEN all DAY! Sarcasm much? NOT ENOUGH! If Lil Wayne was a god he would be the God of WELCOME MATS.

[AlicexJuliusxx]

@LilWayneMetalGod AND WHY DONT YOU FACE YOUR HATERS INSTEAD OF HIDE!? BITCH!

[AlicexJuliusxx]

@LilWayneMetalGod Seriously? what are you copying this and pasting it on to all his videos? Because ive seen you comment this 3 times. Hes from armenia first of all, hes singing about war, drugs, and the world all together, not fucking chicken little, so its not kiddie, autotune is for people who cant sing and need help, and HE IS ALREADY FUCKING FAMOUS YOU DUMBASS! SYSTEM OF A DOWN GOT NOMINATED FOR THE "GOLDEN GOD " AWARD SO THEYRE THE REAL GODS! WHY DONT YOU JUST SHUT UP WITH YOUR TROLLING!

[Ian1789]

@LilWayneMetalGod so obvious troll

[KmaaaaGaming]

@LilWayneMetalGod are you stupid?

[Skatingnoah]

@LilWayneMetalGod fuck you Serj is a god. He doesnt have to use autotune because his voice is fucking amazing. What Lil wayne sings about is not important at all. You are a joke and a waste of human life so just go home and suck Lil wayne's tiny dick.

[taicon10]

@LilWayneMetalGod ... Ok then post such a Bullshit under a Lil Wayne Video. I think that real music need the voice of the singer and not such an Autotuned bullshit.

[killazftw]

why's paint such a theme in serj's vids? er art type stuff in general?

[DoctorAdamBaumb]

@killazftw Because regardless of how stupid people may think art is, it is the best release... It can neither create nor destroy, but it allows for the release of tenseness and emotion. I bet you didn't know Hitler was an artist? Oh yeah, you see the straw that broke the camels back was when he was forced from an art school with differing ideals from other people namely Jews... and well, World War II.

[killazftw]

@DoctorAdamBaumb I enjoy art, even just looking at it, it kind of takes my mind off of things, absorbing the details, and as a matter of fact I do know about Adolf Hitler being an artist, all that anger that could have been put into a canvas, but instead, he was denied entry to the art school... His paintings werent half bad either.

[DoctorAdamBaumb]

@killazftw I like you a little more now.

[RandalfElVikingo]

@killazftw is funny beacuse i though that a school is to learn...i don´t understand why a person like Hitler with awesome drawn skill get rejected... this society just want us to broke our dreams with stupid burocracy

[SMACKu2b]

@RandalfElVikingo Yes, it's society that broke your dreams. I really sincerely hope you didn't go to any job interviews with this atrocity that we call grammer. I'm mainly talking about that last sentence of yours that really makes me wonder if you've ever gone to a school. I hope your "drawn skill" is good enough for you to make a living with. Anyways, awesome song.

[RandalfElVikingo]

@SMACKu2b ohh sorry, sometimes i forget how to use the VPP... i'm a spanish speaker so is a bit hard to me to write in english. is good to practice here =)

[SMACKu2b]

@RandalfElVikingo Alright, well since your foreign I won't hold it against you and rant about it for days back and forth between comments because that's what I find amusing.

[RandalfElVikingo]

@SMACKu2b ok xD i like your english, you are such a bastard using words xD

[MuRpHyLvsSOAD]

At 2:30 I thought it said Vevo, but then I looked back and saw that it said UFO. Lol

[Mellikatze]

I want that picture so bad.

[nabla999]

I was afraid to touch my mouse after I saw this I thought there was paint on my hands XD

[DevicedForce]

And even if it's a Joint, i would smoke one, too, if I could draw like he do :)

[TheMrYoursuffering]

stop arguing about his joints or not his joints but we all agree right? the video is good and the singer even hotter, right?

[RoosterG33rs]

i like this vid better than the offical vid

[MrElderRus]

Че то не понял суть клипа

[Kokafacity]

[Afrofrizzn]

[Kokafacity]

@Afrofrizzn U fuckin piece of shit, don't destroy my illusion -.- u're one of those guys who tells little children that santa doesn't really exist, huh? ò.Ó

[Afrofrizzn]

@Kokafacity

[Kokafacity]

[nekezajebancije]

Wow. That painting is amazing, and I'm not THAT easily amazed.

[fresh4ever2000]

i saw Serj Tankian in Sziget festival Budapest last year... really great, i loved it :-)

[nicksobramblerru]

I find this video much better than the official one. Feels good to know that my nation produced so many great minds and talents.

[PhilosopherSteve]

Cracking song and video.

[KaKaGaNu]

lol.i can do that too.

[indiostar6]

I would have a hell of a time if someone gave me an over sized canvas with a whole butt load of paint like in this vid! XD it looks like fun. Also is it just an Armenian trait to have an awesome beard?

[RhonsoRau]

lol at 1:38 there is a fish

[youareepicfailz]

I love how we can make alternatives of our message, but not alternatives of our world...

[hckysystm]

berberian and tankian.makes for a great video

[shawnkoolman1]

are you fucking serious the old man did all that for a painting so stupid in my opinion wtf!

[LeyendNkTh]

@shawnkoolman1 You dont understand what art is.

[badlock2009]

@shawnkoolman1

its called art kid

[TerrorTheWolf]

@shawnkoolman1 and thats why you arnt an artist..... DUMBASS!

[Paulbuffmansbuddy]

@shawnkoolman1 it's art, you are just stupid

[RhonsoRau]

@shawnkoolman1 some people spend years working on just a square inch of a painting, it is all just using what he has and getting paid to do it.

[TheSOADLIFE]

@shawnkoolman1 shut the hell up u know nothing about what this video was about

[shawnkoolman1]

@TheSOADLIFE what's your problem you bitch!

[TheSOADLIFE]

@TheSOADLIFE quite to the cotrary i know more than u know i do i analyze everysingle one of this mans songs and videos so thats all i gotta say

[sasaklek]

Serj come to Serbiaaaa :))))) pls :)

[timothybratton]

wow..what balls it must take to actually leave a public comment on you tube asking if that is serj's father or maybe serj the king himself with makeup on..hah! "lack of intellectuals are where most artists lose all perspective and meaning."meaning with most people like these 15 yr olds asking those questions makes an insult to Vahe Berberian and serj himself.

[baragon84]

@timothybratton and it insults the other 15yr olds who actualy know what there talking about before we make a dumbass comment

[TheSOADLIFE]

@timothybratton hey man u outa leave those so called 15 yr olds alone i am 17 and i am no idiot hell im prbably wiser than u and i for sure know more about tankian

[barbi320]

@TheSOADLIFE dude if its a nerd-off u want, then i guarantee you that you will win my friend cause a geek i am not. but for sure everyone should know who the hell is the painter in this picture! come on dude u really want to try to be more of an obsessed freak then go ahead cause im definatly not one...but an idiot i am not either

[stdknight]

@gabrielechimico it says at the end civilization is over nuff said man we fucked up

[JakeRulzDude]

Stop commenting about the System coming back. Also stop commenting about how the system is not as good as Serj solo. Both are really rude. NO CRAP

[mossmusic]

Awesome song! Thanks for the upspload!

[ExecutivePwnage]

[darksithbenni]
