[DARONMALAKIAN111]

lml



[quintonhenwood]

look up cia missions. every coup since the 60's was orchestrated by the cia. fuck the tallaban are cia trained..... and suddam was put in place by usa government lol

[lil123BADASS]

biffthebassman FUCK UR HILL BILLY ASS BITCH .

[biffthebassman]

What Serj is saying is that we deserved what we got on 9/11. That's exactly why I would never, ever support anything he has done, be it System or his solo crap.

[PhantomStrangerII]

It's funny how bands know more about politics than politicians.

[iotto360]

system and slipknot are my favorite bands

[TheRikstar24]

what was the bass song right at the end ?

[KissMeImPunk]

@TheRikstar24 Peace Sells from Megadeth's Peace Sells...But Who's Buyin'? album.

[TheRikstar24]

@KissMeImPunk yes i knew i knew it thanks alot

[HRTheTrister]

One of these bands kept going when they had run out awhile back. One of these bands quit while they were ahead.

[Screech891]

why didnt they send helicopters up to the windows of the WTC to pick people up, and save them from jumping off?

[DyingSID666]

@Screech891 Because they don't give a shit?

[Screech891]

@DyingSID666 fuck you george bush....

[todd020981]

VOTE RON PAUL 

[ImNazelis79]

@todd020981 WHY? If ron paul has shown you anything....it should be that presidents are not in charge. the ones in charge are the multi-billion dollar corporations and the banking cartel. paul is powerless to change what is to come. why bother voting when the ones who run the world are not elected? we cant even see their faces...

[keaton223]

no im not gonna check out your drum cover, Day to Remember sucks

[Xxibanez619Xx]

Am i the only one who still remembers when MTV ACTUALLY PLAYED MUSIC

[semifallen]

it's hard for people to take corey seriously with that mask on...:D

[PaulJunior14]

0:10 that guy should call his son chuck

[marianalima4]

@Reaperthrash kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk to querendo saber tbém

[aurash91]

Lol MTV when it wasn't filled with dumb shit

[xWaffleWeaselx]

Peace Sells!

[Cakez00]

wait why are people arguing about which band is best lol. both are freaking awesome

[mikeevans1994]

[ChiYouCunts]

I love how they just put a pic of serj while talking about Soad like there's no one else in the band other then him..

[alice120471]

system, love, amo....

[IlSH2]

[KenKotsuNoGarp]

its funny to see a guy with all that make up talking that serious -.-

anyways they're both great bands but i stay with system :P

[luizastangherlin]

SYSTEM OF A DOWN = GOD!

[Ychizak]

I'm sorry bat what is the diference between system of a down and a piece of shit?Ohhh... Yeah... It's better you listen the piece of shit =/ !! SOAD SUCKS

SLIPKNOT FOR EVER \,,/

[Ychizak]

SLIPKNOT

[4everSystem]

Slipknot is liers

[4everSystem]

SYSTEM OF A DOWN!!!!!

[weeblrocks0]

The 1 person who disliked this was George Bush.

[johnmw13]

soad for prezedent

[THEMARINE200000]

lol back when mtv was about music

[bull4ng3r0]

@THEMARINE200000 ahora es sobre adolescentes embarazadas

[Shalor93]

Serj has a point there.. too bad they still haven't taken the advice after years and years of unnecessary warfare that has so far led to nothing but more violence. I hope thing brighten up in the future, but the foreign policy USA is currently using isn't getting us anywhere =(

[LACSMOB]

The Government let 9-11 Happen.

[SafAlum]

i am not into these really heavy rock bands, i didn't even like them, watching how intelligent and smart they talk, automatically im tellin myself, yh they're alright xD

[Evileva1992]

@ToxicMetalHeadX Serj Tankian actually wrote something about 9/11 but as far as i know it said something like that the us should first care about their own stuff and not blend theirselves into other politics... and in my opinion he'S right.

[jorganbon]

@Evileva1992 yeah it was an essay. A lot of people read that and get really defensive and say "hey, hes justifying 9/11". He would never justify such things. He only explained the true motivation behind al queda's attack and pointed out that they were upset about american gettting invovled with saddam hussein and all that. He never said they were right.

[mx574992]

@Evileva1992 Do you know where can I find it?

[Evileva1992]

@mx574992

i can't post the link but just ask google for: serj tankian understanding oil

you can read it there

[Evileva1992]

@ToxicMetalHeadX Serj Tankian actually wrote something about 9/11 but as far as i know it said something like that the us should first care about their own stuff and not blend theirselves into other politics... and in my opinion he'S right.

[phildipop]

unacceptablerlbh

[GhosTownM2P]

I almost shit my self when john norris face came up hahahaha haven't seen that strange looking fucker in YEARS pretty close to a decade probably haha.

[tamikacska]

soad and slipknot 4 ever!!

[accountforfacebook]

i fucking love this interview video.

[lebronsmyboy6]

slipknot blows

[armymarshal]

@lebronsmyboy6 no need to hate :P

[datdudemickey]

it makes me want to do a split (which im not able to do) to hear my fav lead singers talk about important issues like this and to actually b on a tour together to get their messages across, God Bless SOAD and Slipknot \m/

[fob199]

"You gotta take the power from the hands of terrorists. To do so you need to take their support and cause. And to take their cause you gotta take their injustice away. And there's a lot of injustice." Serj - Most important quote of the interview

[MindstormRecs]

John Norris, what a doofus lol

[names667]

two of the best bands

[Deregor09]

serj was jigh as fuck here

[dave1sfx]

System of a Down + Slipknot = Epic Win

[jrpg0630]

isnt that ben stiller??

[sailxonxmusic]

GOOOO SOAD! <3

[karatecat100]

system of a down and slipknot should play together that would be epic

[DJFlyShane]

@karatecat100 They did. In 1999, SOAD played "War?" with slipknot. Don't believe there is any video of it, though :( I think the performance was in Japan.

[xjxfx]

if only more bands/artists would give a shit about whats going on the in world.

[HaveNoFearTomIsHere]

why should system care they arent american

[LogicScopeProduction]

@HaveNoFearTomIsHere ...lolwut?

[HaveNoFearTomIsHere]

@LogicScopeProduction about 9/11 why do they care? they are lebanese or watevr

[LogicScopeProduction]

@HaveNoFearTomIsHere Serj and Shavo were both born in Armenia. Daron was born in California. John was the only one born in Lebanon. So please, get your facts straight next time before you post. Thanks and good luck.

[WiskykillerofWoW]

@HaveNoFearTomIsHere they are citizens of america, and as Logic said, Serj and Shavo were born in Armenia, Daron-California, and john was born in Lebanon, and they have lived here for a long time, so they should care

[ferjtankian]

@WiskykillerofWoW serj born in Beirut, Lebanon Daron and Shavo born in Armenia and John born in the U.S. but his family migrate to America......... that are facts, not exactly the ones you gave....

[ferjtankian]

@ferjtankian and I have a big mistake... I meant: These are facts....

[WiskykillerofWoW]

@ferjtankian lol that wasnt me, that was my friend, i think he got mixed up, lol

[ChiYouCunts]

@ferjtankian daron was born in hollywood

[ferjtankian]

@ChiYouCunts that's absolutely right! another of my mistakes... sorry....

[lillyd13]

@HaveNoFearTomIsHere they care about the whole world, as we all should.

[CaptainArtsy]

Serj Tankian has a passionate, better way of talking :]

[AlexPoohbear]

this video makes me happy, at least i know that two of my favorite bands are very caring and passionate about certain things

[SEEUNEXT2sDAYGEARS]

soad rocks but slipknot sucks major harry balls. ps fuck paul glad his dead hopefully slipknot dies 2

[necrolyte23]

@SEEUNEXT2sDAYGEARS fuck u motherfucker ..you're the one who should die..imma kill you bitch.

[datdudemickey]

@SEEUNEXT2sDAYGEARS thts not ryte at all,U shuld respect the fact that hes dead instead of talking shit abt him after he died,i wuld dare u to say that to his face if he were styll alive,i hope a wild Gorilla pounds on ur face nd an Elephant sits on ur dumbass crushing every bone in ur body bitch

[curner1]

@SEEUNEXT2sDAYGEARS Say that to Corey, he'll rip your faggot face off

[TheDakkies]

didnt know slipnot cared about people..

[ShadowSayan1]

Thats wath im talkin about tahts 2 of my favorite bands fighting together four our sake long live slipknot and SOAD XD.

[buggsmalone]

911 was an ins...

[LithuanianGuitar]

@buggsmalone ...ide job.

:D

[JThrashYT]

theres no such thing as a hate crime.... bs!!

[LonelyDayProductionz]

@JThrashYT no such thing as hate crimes? so the kkk kill out of love? did the nazis start killing houndreds of thousands of jews out of love for them? yeah there are no such things as hate crimes....

[JThrashYT]

@LonelyDayProductionz my opinion is that people should be punished soley for the crimes they commit, intent behind it shouldn't matter. if i kill a guy whose cheating on my wife and kill a black guy just cuz i hate black people, then i should get the same punishment for both, cuz theyre both murder.

[reaper17112]

@JThrashYT if you are black, and i kill you, or hurt you, thats a hate crime...learn shit sir

[Rinaleightball1]

Slipknot=Pussy kids

System= Men who have meaning to there music

[jaimeduendeozzzkr]

@Rinaleightball1

pussy kids? lol

they are really old in comparison to other bands dude

[Griffin503FilmorDie]

take your gay ass band add away

[tonydark96]

they are just both talented in their own way, but still i prefer system of a down :p

[ReversePolarety]

Too ALL the people that says both Slipknot and SOAD are on the same level: THATS BULLSHIT! and its easy why! you see Slipknot is working, writing, singing their motherfucking ass off just so their ''maggots'' will stay with them. Look at SOAD, not even serious! some of the songs are just bullcrap! xD and still, they manage to crush ALL other metal bands and beat their way up to the legends! ask youself this: what if they took it REALLY SERIOUSLY? ;D JUST IMAGINE how awesome that would be!!!!!!!!

[timebomb098]

@ReversePolarety omg soad songs are humouros and mr smart ass could u tell me whats so great about slipknot songs whats the message there sending

[gunlover19112]

@timebomb098 Uhm I donno maybe they wright about issues such as missanthropy, rape, social inecceptance, social distortion, etc... subbjects a little more out there insted of just screaming "psycho! gruppy! coccain! crazy!" or "sugar!".

Im not saying they suck (couse I like SOAD) but they are just that, humor its not serios nor meaningfull. Just couse you heard psychosocial doesnt mean you know them.

[whatever5004]

@gunlover19112 Prison song, toxicity, deer dance, hypnotize, boom, soldiers side, tentative. All these songs have political meaning in them if you listen to the lyrics.

Yes System of a Down has some humorous songs too and that adds to their awesomeness. Your just wasting your time using one song to make the assumption that almost all their other songs are pointless. If anything most of their songs carry a message.

[gunlover19112]

@whatever5004 Dont make it as if I dont know their songs. I dont just listen to one.

Needles

Shes like Herion

Psycho

BYOB

Deer dance

Bounce

Sugar

Lonely day

I can go on and on but none of it matter becuase even if they talk about any subject most of the time they are politically incorrect of american politics. Most of thir songs are about Armenia (their birthplace) and I can understand that but in the US is diferrent. And I know the US aint candyland but painting that its all horible aint real

[whatever5004]

@gunlover19112 They have strong messages and yeah many do see them as politically incorrect but if everyone regurgitated the same mainstream views of the world then we would't have half the bands that exist today. Prison song exposes how the war on drugs is a fraud for example. And if you think about it, getting put in prison for years for something as pathetic as having a plant like cannabis in your possession is just ridiculous.

[gunlover19112]

@whatever5004 The war on drugs is bullshit I know this but its not just about the drugs but the people who sell it using kids to make them and also prostitution is another one where these woman are 18 year old kids. But to me the most imporatant is Chavos cause which is animal rights. Poor animals abused and used for fighting and just negect them.

I like their music but I like them more as people than just musical artists.

[whatever5004]

@gunlover19112 I agree to all the above, and to be fair i like opium of the people (even though i despise nu metal) and I like how it says how religion is total BS. I used to listen to slipknot quite a bit but i became drawn to melodic death metal and viking metal that kinda stuff. I would still put them above the all that new trash on the radio any day though. My co-workers play the station with beiber and kesha all day and i get a headache from that shit.

[gunlover19112]

@whatever5004 Music is going down the drain these days. Rap, Pop and other crappy genres seem to rule over most Rock-metal orientated music in terms of sale and popularity. Its easy for them to say that "Metal is a bunch of dudes strumming strings and screaming" but they dont know the toll it takes to make good music from scrach insted of just looping it and masking the guys/girls voice with effects right?

[whatever5004]

@gunlover19112 Yes mainstream music these days sucks balls.

[hendrixnirvana84]

@gunlover19112 very true

[timebomb098]

@gunlover19112 well i guess you never read soad lyrics because war? and sugar are talking about how war is bad and sugar is talking about how aspartame kills

[whatever5004]

this video causes a SOAD fans and slipknot "maggots" (why the fuck do they call them selves this?) to argue but we all know that SOAD is much more talented of course.

[gunlover19112]

@whatever5004 More talented? what does that have to do with anything? they are so talented that they fill their minds with shit and broke up....how about that? and slipknot? they dont let it get to their heads becuase THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR FANS.

Talent alone cant fill a heart with joy.

[whatever5004]

@gunlover19112 They went on hiatus because they toured for about ten years and needed a break not because they filled their head with "shit" whatever that is supposed to mean.

I said system was more talented because the guitar tabs for most slipknot songs are EXTREMELY simple to play in comparison. Slipknot fans enjoy the music and obviously don't care much about talent and there is nothing wrong with that but some people respect clever guitar playing with lyrics that have depth to them.

[gunlover19112]

@whatever5004 Depth? you are really are dense. Very few SOAD songs have meaning (like lonely day) listen to psycho, BYOB and sugar. Even system when live say "this song is about nothing" and that is why they are good. Guitar? fuck yea its hard but slipknot taps are no way easy and not only that but thir drums suck compared to knot and others. Knot have meaning. Just becuase you listen to psychosocial doesnt mean you know them.

[whatever5004]

@gunlover19112 Actually BYOB and sugar and other songs like sad statue and bubbles to name a few have political meaning in them but i suppose that you would have to be as "dense" as me to realize it. LOL you no nothing about me. Songs like question are about the mystery of death. So yes there are actually quite a few SOAD songs that have depth to them. I could name more if you like...

[gunlover19112]

@whatever5004 BYOB Means "Bring Your Own Boose" the only part they kinda mention anything political is when Malakian screams "Why do they always send the poor" again just becuase they scream against "society" doesnt make them smarter nor better. Take for example Deer Dance they talk about riots and police brutality but when you think about it the cops are not gana let the guys rioting just hit them in the face, they will defend themselfs. So that song is just for laughs.

[pivotdudexx12]

unaccebball

[systemqueen226]

AHAHA. Why would they choose that screen cap of Serj at 0:29?

[timebomb098]

@systemqueen226 roflcopter

[obssedwitmabass]

@Skychiismyhero lisen dude Corey and Seth are proably two of the wisest singers out there both slipknot and soad are amazing bands that I play over and over in my iPod just because one SOUNDS more intellectual than the other dosent make them a beta artist

[skychiismyhero]

Yeah, Corey. That was beautiful.

When you analyze what he said, all the factual information he gave was "Hate crimes have increased 65% in this country." And his wonderful opinion of "HURR DURR HATE CRIMES IZ BAD?"

Whereas Serj intellectually, and articulately gave his views on terrorism. I suppose that, 5 members, and the fact that SOAD are musically talented are the only things separating the two bands. Wow.

[msalyers19]

@Enricovir99 ok im confused... whats the connection between liking slipknot and being a homosexual??

[AngelSilasTV]

@msalyers19 Sipknot likes penises up their buts, they said ti in an interview, look it up

[89isthebest]

@msalyers19

my penis

[Fenix471]

@msalyers19 Thats the way it is man just let it happen.

[oscarinero]

@msalyers19 he is retarded

[mondevideo]

@msalyers19 actaully fag is short for faggot and faggot is a bundle of sticks.

[NeverShowerNever]

@mondevideo actually fag means ciggarette

[mondevideo]

@NeverShowerNever You are using fag as the british idiom meaning ciggarette, i was using the dictionary definition mean it is a bundle of sticks.

[cripsmafia]

@Enricovir99 prick

[SychoticMexican]

@Enricovir99 i agree

[Tsugimoto1]

Is the lead singer Jewish? Just the way he talks, he sounds so calm and insightful like a rabbi.

Also when he sings, he sounds like he could be a canter... :-D

[tommyiscool007]

@Tsugimoto1 armenian

[Skagasmictacostand]

Does Corey wearing a nazi related uniform constitute as a hate crime? Jus wondering...

[MyScaryScrotum]

@Skagasmictacostand The difference is the nazi arm-brand has a swastika in the middle as opposed to theirs, which has an S.

[HaLfDeAdArtist]

i always wanted them to make a song together

[ShadowT23]

my 2 favorite bands first system then slipknot

[pivotdudexx12]

Corey and Serj are very smart men, very well spoken and have great messages behind ther music

[elxeneisekpo]

please can you upload it with subtitles in Spanish?

[iagofilipi1]

tells the legend

[iagofilipi1]

upload the legend

[NavySealWannabe67]

xLilPunkx96 both Slipknot and SOAD are great bands so shut the fuck up

[DarthMink]

I always thought it was odd that SOAD Toxicity came out one week before the 9/11 attack. especially since it has songs like aerials and jet pilot.

[aileanwazere]

you trying to say serj had some part in it?

or that he uses his armenian powers to predict it

[DarthMink]

If I wanted to say that they had something to do with it I would have said it, I just said it's odd. What are "Armenian powers"? Or are you just trying to look cool by knowing where their from? I've listened to SOAD for over a decade so that wont work with me.

[aileanwazere]

it was a joke

or did i need to put the "haha" after it for you to get it

[DarthMink]

Hilarious joke...........

[ITTFY]

@DarthMink 1 of my friends moved here on september 5th 2001 from india . dude btw it coincadince (horribl3 sp311ing)

[CubertBeMySuitePee]

@xLilPunx96 Uh, They Are Both Very Powerful Bands With Strong Messages.

[AndrewCWillis]

@xLilPunx96 Hell ya.

[KuchikiTaichou6]

@xLilPunx96 Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!

[BUSTyoGATS]

@xLilPunx96 and you're a pussy ass bitch who can't appreciate music for himself

[sicma6gg6ot6]

@xLilPunx96 your gay so fuck off

[HeheShutUp121]

@xLilPunx96 Why?

[cldrules]

@xLilPunx96 word.

[RockeyVids]

1:50 xDD

[biguglyidiot]

Lying ass

[tosykosyhaha]

0:29 serj eating chop suey lulz

[biguglyidiot]

Yeah, like glutony

[theguywhoiss]

lol corey looks retarded in that mask xD lol i like his new one... cool video though... i love both bands

[MMaeidlilniAW]

I agree about this mask but his new one is gay! I love Slipknot Era since the treads were actually his and Vol. 3 since he could do the best headbanging in that one!

[theguywhoiss]

his old one is cooler... but i dont really care about masks... lol

[MMaeidlilniAW]

Ya but you can't help compare Slipknot mask when someone brings it up!

[slipknotobsession09]

so, what were their names before 9/11?

the tour names?

[evacuationplanb]

The Pledge of Allegiance Tour.... they never changed the name.

[ULTRASID]

me too

[xxpsychosocial19xx]

ill watch anything that has to do with slipknot

[msalyers19]

yah same here lol

me too!
