The Metro - Berlin

[xman51000]

What the hell are you talking about???? Your EMPTY glass??  I JUST bought you a drink, you silly girl.......damn lush..........

[malevich2007]

The only reason I like this visual is the vague Kraftwerk/Man Machine reference via red/black color scheme; Berlin were natural succesors to the cold/emotionally distant yet approachable sound of Kraftwerk.

[RockenDokkenlover91]

why the fuck is SOAD covering this? they should stick to their own music leave the 80's classics alone

[CaptainIcy]

@RockenDokkenlover91 I agree. -.-

[lauriehintz]

Berlin was 10X the band that soad only wishes they could be......the 80's were the best!

[ingrid3578]

@lauriehintz not true. no need to insult SOAD. They're my favorite band ever and they are amazing in their own right.

[kaysistan]

Alkaline Trio's version of this beats all. fact.

[itsallgood239]

SOAD's cover owns the fuck outta this

[TurboFuss1]

@itsallgood239 hell no!

[axtin17]

Good work on covering SOAD song...

[dampkring]

@axtin17 Uh, Berlin wrote this in the early eighties. It's their song, not SOAD's.

[axtin17]

@dampkring I was being sarcastic...

[TurboFuss1]

@dampkring don't mind ignorant people, they are the reason we had bush and now obama in power.

[PaladinOfGame]

THAT PYRO'S A SPY.

[BrandonWestbrook1993]

i still think this version is the best just seems like soad made theres more metel but this one has that original flow to it

[rajp420]

@BrandonWestbrook1993 I like this for its cheese factor, but soad rocked this and put a tone to it that fits perfectly

[SmokeyJoe0kf]

have a listen to john b's version, awesome!!!

[all3f0r1]

Aw I can't believe SOAD reworked it that good

[TheMegabuu]

system of a down's version is very best, this is a shit.

[The1ComicalMan]

Pretty epic.

[Mr1thegame]

its like some kind of pussy soad

[deepz1990]

System of a Down brought me here

[arkhamisland]

I liked the SOAD one better, their fanbase is annoying as fuck but I just personally dislike 80's sounding music, really cheesy.

[sweetrain999]

I've loved this song forever, and I just listened to SOAD (whom I love, btw) version. I must say I love this one better, but they did alright with their own style to it

[mattspace26]

MY PENIS IS HUGE!!!!!

to ants

[supermandisco]

Has it been that long? YES, it has don't remind me.

[bbeboutuaa]

I think the Sleepthief version is the best personally

[grungerobotnow]

i like the soad cover and i would like the original but i cant take it seriously because of the crappy 80s pop clapping and synthesizer.

[FatScotishguy]

aw I love this song and SOADs cover of it

[Xxthemezmerizedx]

@FatScotishguy  yes indeed xD

[NigoriGory]

I love this song so much!

[2390wes]

Classic ! Miss that era !

[JonssonLinda]

All the cred in the world to her for writing this so that system could cover it and make it one of the greatest songs in the world!

[LocalDawn]

SOAD cover is better than the original but i respect both

[robertjoiner76]

Did you know that Terri Nunn auditioned for the role of Princess Leia. In fact, she ended up losing out to Carrie Fisher. And when Carrie Fisher gained some weight, they went to Terri Nunn with the possibility of replacing Fisher. She declined; she had already committed herself to other projects; so they moved on to their third choice; just in case Fisher couldn't slim down; and who was that you might ask; none other than Jodie Foster.

[MsTh1nker]

It is nice,but SOAD is better !

[paintedship]

system of a down= nu metal garbage

[Jarren202]

@paintedship SOAD weren't Nu Metal man, don't associate them with the likes of Limp Bizkit.

They were are seriously cool alternative metal group, with kick ass music and highly intelligent lyrics.

[amarxistcommie]

@paintedship trollololololololol

[shitunit]

@paintedship U= Dickhead

[paintedship]

why the fuck are there SOAD comments under a Berlin video?! Lets forget their shit house cover even exists. Their fans are proving that they are just as moronic as that band themselves. I'd expect nothing less than a bunch of teenage and twenty somethings to just bitch and moan about how much this song sucked until SOAD graced their mighty Nu Metal magic on it.

Here's a suggestion kids- find some good music beyond what MTV shoves down your throat IE- Nu Metal shit like SOAD.

[d3rkaderk4]

@paintedship I'm a soad fan and wasn't even aware they have a cover.

[LocalDawn]

@paintedship WTF u clueless asshole SOAD are NOT nu metal.they are mixed genre.heavy metal,alt metal, experimental metal, BUT NOT NU METAL.nu metal is korn and limp bizkit idiot NOT SOAD.get ur facts right b4 saying bullshit like this

[ingrid3578]

@paintedship fuck off. SOAD isn't "Nu Metal shit". Their music is very intelligently crafted and their lyrics/messages are beyond clever and meaningful. If they sang about stupid shit then ok I can see why you would hate on them but they don't.

[paintedship]

@ingrid3578 SOAD is garbage nu metal plain and simple

[rite2mukund]

@paintedship and you are a fucker

[d3rkaderk4]

@paintedship go fall on a knife.

[shenloken2]

OK. I am gonna sound like the BIGGEST nerd out there for bringing this up. But I really REALLY can't help it!

2:13-2:20 - This part sounds like the opening to a cartoon called Megas XLR. It sounds like the same tempo and beat during the "YOU dig giant robots! WE dig giant robots!" Try it and you'll see what I mean.

[guitarskate613]

@shenloken2 holy shit it does dude i never noticed that!

[ipariszalonna]

@shenloken2 That part somehow reminded me of Portal 2 :) Nerds FTW

[Tamarah94]

HAHA SYSTEM OF A DOWN COVER IS SO MUCH BETTER <3 Best cover ever!

[TheXS15]

I prefer Alkaline Trio's cover of this to SoAD's cover.

[NekotoKino]

Hmm I didn't even know system of a down had a cover of this....I prefer this one :0

[9LittleFoot9]

this guy i used to hang out with told me this was a cover and alkiline trio was the original...yeah, they wrote the song 25 years after berlin covered it... cuz that makes sense...

[MultiLovebug2010]

16 ppl haven't rode The Metro train

[sscarzz]

Never lend a cassette out..

[hotmn4u]

LOL 80's music is boring

[zeepunky]

@hotmn4u 80's music isn't boring you just have a different taste in music. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it boring.

[Alxe73191]

@hotmn4u Not to me. but to each their own

[klingingmadness07]

i used to have that pic



[sharoua]

System Version Is better More Energy That's A little Slow And Very Boring....:S

[CaptainIcy]

This song is so awesome.

[n3jhv]

SOAD's version really isn't that good. Alkaline Trio however-they really energized this song! Search alkaline trio metro , you'll like it!

[Jarren202]

@anbuz3ro I love you too xoxo

[DancePaulDance]

This Is Way Better Then The System Of A Down Version! :)

[xxjavito]

ESTA CANCION DETA DE PITA MADRE

[MrDaronmalakian13]

SOAD is bettr i love SOAD this is to......wats tha wrd.....oh ya, its soft

[HighRiseChateau]

@MrDaronmalakian13 SOADs version sounds like monkeys raping a seagull.

[MrDaronmalakian13]

@HighRiseChateau thaats ur opinion. i hav mine an i personally like SOADs version bttr b cauz i am a fan of theirs....a BIG fan

[LindaMaggieOne]

@HighRiseChateau your comment made me laugh, even if I love the SOADs version XD monkeys raping a seagull??????? LOL XD Could be! But, come on! Taste is taste ;)

[sagaofbluewing]

System Of A Down covered this? How do I not know this?

[TheSkuLLcomedyShow]

(Sing this)...Swimming through a pile of cheese.

[fbowie21]

this is the original dumbass lol system of a down copied it

[TheDawg412]

I thought System of a Down made this.

I really don't like this version.

[LaraZielara]

interesting version :D

[inwiththeold1]

+44, alkaline trio, and system all did covers of THIS? hahah i just heard this version for the ffirst time haha

[lucassilvadedeus]

the system version is better, because its more energic and fast( and serjs vocals is always awesome)

[MrKulkoski]

Nice version but I don't really like it. I prefer orginal

[HighRiseChateau]

@MrKulkoski This is the original. Was released in the 80s.

[IJustWriteMyName]

10 MINUTES!

[anmana7]

We have this chain of convenience stores and I have heard this song twice in the last week. I haven't heard it before that since the 80's. I forgot who did it (I had thought it might be Berlin - I was right). Wonder what happened to them. I hardly hear this type of 80's music anymore.

[OneSICMa666ot]

i like that pic lol. great song !

[jaiger87]

I miss the 80's. BIG TIMES! This was and is the best version. Bands today need to write and produce their own music. The 80's was the best!!!!!!!

[HighRiseChateau]

@jaiger87 I wasn't around back then but I couldn't agree more. bands these days just seem to cover the hell out of new wave songs. Maybe it's because they can't write good music for themselves.

[dsacc01]

@HighRiseChateau i was around back then the music was better and didnt everybody have the same ol dance moves the videos may have a little cheesy back then but the music made up for it at least u got mtv from the 80s

[matheusthemaggot]

the soad version is a lot better.

[ScorpioBornIn69]

The original usually sounds the best. Today's remakes are down right terrible and pathetic.

[cvg1099]

@ScorpioBornIn69 Regardless of how the remake SOUNDS, the original is always better, simply because it is the original. Remakes are only meant to pay homage, not to outdo.

[RedSerjTankian]

Lol it's fucked up, SOAD version ftw.

[TheSpifmeister]

This is the most amazing song in the world.

[espnoah]

cool



[xxDEATHKILLERxx]

I dont car what anyone says, this version is the best, the others are pure shit

[LedWilde]

;)

[machomanbearpig911]

@LedWilde false. System of a Down does a fine job covering this. And i love both equally, though Berlin must get credit for writing it.

[ring529]

@LedWilde but when system of a down re-created it, it turned out amazing =)

[LedWilde]

@ring529 It came out decent but I don't like it as well as this. I do like SOAD though.

[WritingJenny73070]

@LedWilde agreed



[brandonsmith2742]

@LedWilde Great bands like the Rolling Stones, U2, and Led Zeppelin wouldn't want to cover a song like this lol. This song blows ass haha.

[LedWilde]

@brandonsmith2742 U2? Well, I guess.

[9095nixon]

@LedWilde I disagree, I'm glad System of a Down covered this song....... lol jk, but I do like their cover version tbh

[BlaiseTheSlayer]

@LedWilde Alkaline Trio did a pretty good cover of this a few years ago.

[slopper95]

@LedWilde system of a down covered this, and you prefer this one. you must be a girl so its okay. but if your a guy you have to be gay.

[callaghanI4L]

@LedWilde Idk what kind of genre your into, me myself like all types of music. Anyway you should check out System Of A Downs version of this is, its beyond good. (In my opinion)

[LedWilde]

@callaghanI4L I like a lot of types. Usually hard Rock. I do like S.O.A.D.'s version. And I like S.O.A.D. a lot! I prefer this version more though. Probably because I was born in the late 70's and grew up with this one. Also, this style of music here from the early 80's, "New Wave," it's a cool genre, to me, with the sparse "colorful" synths and upbeat music. Especially New Wave with sexy chick singers. Kind of spacey and the kind of music to listen to on shrooms. One reason why I love Kim Wilde

[callaghanI4L]

@callaghanI4L yea she's got good lyrics

[PinkieCheek]

Alkaline Trio did this shit wayy better!

[KiraTheZhinigami]

Both versions are cool. Plain and simple.

[xxiamclxx]

I think this should be the Pyro's theme song. :)

[TheFesick]

the System cover is shit! Alkaline is better... and not by much.

[rammstein76100]

the version of SAOD IS SO BETTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[BeerDeLaRute33]

Haven't heard both, just know i love the song.

[MrHeindall]

lol ofc soad's cover is much better

[mikesholler27]

wow both songs are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO diffrent

and i do love both

[ravemarisha]

i had this song in my head yesterday

xD my mom was singing along with me

"ridding on the mmeettroo"

[arizonabrewerton]

@ravemarisha haha when me and my mom go to the mall she turns the radio up sooo loud and we're singin along =) good times

[UberCookieboy]

PYRO IS SPY!

[gordog12]

I think System of a down's cover was more preferred for me.

[Violnplayr23]

@gordog12 boooo!!!!!

[MrProfessornutbutter]

I had the biggest crush on the singer from this band!

[RyDawg084]

Awesome Song....I've been trying to spread it on through the interconnecting tubes of the internet............... 

[ArthurHenrique19]

Prefiro com o SOAD mas ta legal essa versao

[beeper182]

I'm sorry, but for all of those who think that the SOAD version is that different, pleae compare them, notice how the constant tune playing is what the bass mimics, how the lyrics are all but the same, and that the guitar mimics the guitar in this song. The only real difference is that this is more techno, uses synth bass and effects, and is slower paced. They are both the same, but one is rock, you decide which is better...

[mikesholler27]

@beeper182 actully i was gonna say inthis one you could hear the lyrics better then the soad verison :)

[AgentDarkfire]

dis song sucks compared to the soad versian

[DaFUFU121]

@AgentDarkfire Did Karl type that?

[AgentDarkfire]

@DaFUFU121 Yeah, he did. I nearly kicked his ass for using my account.

[DaFUFU121]

@AgentDarkfire He knew your password?!

[AgentDarkfire]

@DaFUFU121 No, my account was already logged in. He just used it when I wasn't looking.

[PaulKersey108]

@Nikogasm I used to work at New York Sports Club. Now I work -out somewhere where they DO play Slayer , Megadeth, etc. Which is my preference. I just found this song catchey.

[s0fokaki]

Definitely SOAD's version!

[mafleeted]

I definitely like the Alkaline Trio cover better.

[hectorsmash]

wow, no doubt SOAD's cover is way better

[danmancino22]

holy shit am i confused! which band was the cover?! i do like both versions ever so much, but who had it first?!!!

[FuriousRiot]

@danmancino22 Berlin of course!

[Frankjee]

@danmancino22

youre a fag, you have to know your classics, how the hell can you think that system of a down made the originial OMG DONKEY!!!!! i hate you

[itsfragen]

@danmancino22

Alkaline Trio also did a cover

[insane1juggalo1ninja]

@danmancino22 this band made it originally then later in 2000 System of a Down covered it for the Dracula Soundtrack.

[mrshikko]

omg...

I think i like this song...

Still cant beat the soad version...

Riding on the metro...

[Jarren202]

To those who prefer the System Of A Down version...

To those who prefer this original version by Berlin...

HOW ABOUT LIKING BOTH?

I do.

[originalatlasdrugged]

@Jarren202 SACRILEGE! Death to SOAD, up with Berlin!

[coltonmusitano]

@Jarren202

The Alkaline Trio also did a cover of the song.

I like all three of them with this one being the best of them all then SOAD then the Alkaline Trio.

[soulsupplement]

Amazing synth work on this track.

[PsychoticSikHypnotic]

FUCK... YOU... FOR LOVING ME!! Riding on the Metro... SOAD FTW!!

[panther0567]

This song is amazing, the synth production is phenomenal. Nowadays, you can just sloppily put together a couple bleeps and bloops and suddenly you have a chart-topper.

[RHCPKK]

holy shit, I cant believe this was the song that soad covered.

[PsychoticSikHypnotic]

@RHCPKK Me neither!! They did it so well, I love how they cover things, they really make it their own.

[alansmithee95608]

personally, and I love System, but their version blows

[Dblo4445]

You all lose, the Alkaline Trio version of this song is the best.

[thesemenincident]

@Dblo4445 Probably better than the SOAD version (*maybe*), but no.

[3lullabies]

i love system of a down.saw them at heir first national tour on ozzfest 98. but berlins version is the best. and im sure serj would tell you the same thing, they love it thats why they play it.

[gokibuti]

oh man, i live on the metro!! well, actually i ride the blue bus now that i moved to the westside :) ...thats LA, but how i do miss paris. there metro is much better :)

[thesemenincident]

Maybe I sound like a douche, but I am *so* right when I say: THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE SOAD VERSION (WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD)!

[recurring242]

@thesemenincident How the fuck can you say this is better than the SOAD version if you've never heard it, douchebag?

[thesemenincident]

@recurring242 way to insult me by repeating the very same insult I applied to myself in the first place, "DOUCHE"! Lighten up... :|

How do I know?... well, let's see... the original is awesome... and I hate SOAD... Sooooo... let's see, a band I hate and consider terribly overrated ruining an original song I love.......... Not much to consider is there?

[recurring242]

@thesemenincident Douche = / = Douchebag

[thesemenincident]

@recurring242 Oh, jeez... Okay, if you really want to have this debate, the bag (SANS NOZZLE, OMG!!!) is hardly different (or even a different insult), YOU GOOOOOOB.

Either way, Berlin version: SUPERIOR!

[recurring242]

@thesemenincident Lol, I feel like I'm having an argument with myself.

[thesemenincident]

@recurring242 Why? Are we both idiots? Probably.

Either way, I don't mean to be an asshole or anything... I do hate SOAD though, haha... But I also hate a few Berlin albums too!

[recurring242]

@thesemenincident That is very possible. Anyway, has anybody else noticed how similar the guy with the gas mask looks like Combine Metro Police from Half Life 2?

[beaky48273]

Wow the SOAD cover is SOOOO much BETTER than this version. Oh MY GOD!!

[yournube]

The soad version fits the lyrics better I think, It doesn't sound as dancey.

[sheldog1028]

Glendale, CA to Oceanside, CA great travling music!!!!!!

[Juicetinfeb]

is that pyro?

[horrorjunkie92]

Berlin are timeless!

[xxDEATHKILLERxx]

Yeah I like this version waay better then the soad cover, i think it sucks

[KatieSmithington]

I can not believe how many people actually like SAOD. o.O

[disasterpiece16]

@KatieSmithington it's cuz they're awesome like that

[seekanddestroy120]

uuuuy weyy ke wenaaa

[colindhowell]

This debate over which version is better seems to me like arguing over whether the color red could beat the color blue in a fight.

[phntazma95]

sounds like teen titans

[Rockburns123]

@phntazma95 lul i k r? this shit sounds gay though

[phntazma95]

@Rockburns123 ????

[jasonx2115]

This verison is great! but SOAD's cover is better.. but berlin has always been good in their own way (: 80's POP FTW!!

[LifelsARiot]

The the name FuriousRiot.

OT thanks for the upload, real great song!
