[JordanHarrisZZ]

[Bryansdemomusic]

That random guy cracks me up every time!

[scarsontable]

@Bryansdemomusic It's their manager, Sako.

[Bryansdemomusic]

@scarsontable Oooh, thats why they mention him in Sugar then! Yes!

[Luvie122]

[Quemical83]

Serj = King Leonidas. SPARTAAANS!

[SredTV]

[samrebardi]

[slorr55]

[slaughter69corpse]

lol pig squeels

[JimmyJamaica68]

lol wtf

[JhProductions457]

It's actually their manager, he practiced and everything but got high so he sounded like shit.

[max27889]

if i would be daron (i wish ) i would break the guitar so hard on that son of a bich!

[FlamingFridge]

@ max27889 during the breakdown (DIE *like a motherfucker*) a random guy comes up on stage and screams Serj's part.

[7LucasCabrera71]

Lol @the random guy

[handmiadenofgod]

Wow, old System was just... out of control. They barely seem like they're from this dimension. Don't get me wrong, SOAD's later work was great as well, but this is something else.

[giveyou69]

What's great about the System is their Music. They write such basic easy music yet they manage to be incredibly famous. Which goes to show you that its not about the complexity of the music it about writing music that sounds fucking good. Please come back.!

[mjschemicalromance]

@giveyou69 Although, the music is simple, the lyrics are incredible....

[giveyou69]

@mjschemicalromance Oh most definitely. And even though the music is simple, it still sounds great and very original.

[CircleofShit]

@giveyou69 You said it man. Just look at the likes of Korn and Nirvana.

[Lumbmaster]

I fuckin love the intro :D

[MrEytor]

WTF 1:24 Darons just stands there with a stoner smile while a random guy ruins the song

[mroxiful]

fuck that stupid guy who's singing.. .no body can say DIE like Serj!!!

[CJandRob]

the reason the intro is like that becuase i have the 1997 demo and the demo is just like that

[Deathboyz88]

Thats the first time ive seen shavo where a shirt

[WillCreary]

i wanna FUCK my way to the gaaarden

cuz everyone. needs. a mother. FUCKER!

[SerjTankian85]

*_*

[MrMcConnon]

Alrite, everyone has called it pig squealing, screaming, loud vocals etc etc, it has and always has been called 'devil speech' or 'hell speech' if you like, any and all inward or outward vocal techniques that give off a deep, heavy or demonic type of sound are all from the on true heavy metal genre of years passed. Devil speech is a nickname for the technique but is widely recognised as a heavily used tool in metal history, now lets move on. System rules, end of.

[SystemOfTheMastodon]

Wow, Sako's (It is Sako, right?) vocals may be the sickest thing I've ever heard!

May System return like they were back then. Amen

[rancidpunk910]

That is Sako? Thats what I was thinking and I asked someone but no one answered me lol

[SystemOfTheMastodon]

@rancidpunk910

I think so...

[joeofpie2]

i dat a pig squeel?

[coons1212]

No, thats not any pig squeel ive ever heard.

[joeofpie2]

@coons1212 hmm... i pig squeel at all sorts of pitches and tones...

[coons1212]

@joeofpie2 That growl your hearing is an inhale but its inhales arent always pig suqeels

[joeofpie2]

@coons1212 i suppose...

[rancidpunk910]

its inhale screaming

[MegaTimebomb098]

@rancidpunk910 nope he does exhales.....

[weezurblue]

this band is so bad ass, next to lamb of god id say best

[joeofpie2]

sakko?

he's so bad at that... one of the good LPs of SoaD.... i wish i could have done that.

[megatoky7]

and the survey said ding ding ding your right it is Sako Karaian, personally i thought he did pretty good but hell i think almost everything they do is good.

[joeofpie2]

heh was he in all their LP's of this song for that purpose?

heh cool name, sako...

[megatoky7]

he want in all of them im guessing the only reason he was in this one was because it was one of their early ones and was different than today.

[joeofpie2]

ahh i see, so like before they were signed?

[megatoky7]

something like that im just guessing they didnt want him to screw up

[rancidpunk910]

"I gotta gun the other day from Sako its cute its small fits right in my pocket, yeah right in my pocket"

[alogli]

back then they were good live!

later they just sucked in live acts!

[Alannbitchh]

wow Daron looks SICKKK

[Smackinwitit544]

that guy sounds like a fucking tard

[jussefo]

who is that guy?

[vattumies]

some asshole. he sounds gay

[megatoky7]

wow how do you not know who that is... they refer to him in sugar its the guy that gave him the gun... its johns drum tech... look it up

[KoRnman247]

great song but lol at that one guy that comes from nowhere and sings

[ScarredGrungeDeath]

@KoRnman247 That is soko hes heard in the sugar lyrics

I bought a gun from soko the other day it fits right in my pocket ♪

[TheCheezBurgalr]

well this was unexpected

[FlamingFridge]

That random guy needs vocal lessons

[max27889]

@FlamingFridge who!?



[xaladolokiyo]

@FlamingFridge name's sako

[sadlybadlyy2]

@FlamingFridge thats Sarko...hes the guy if you listen to Sugar and the lyrics thats the guy there talking about

[DJFlyShane]

@sadlybadlyy2 Im pretty sure the lyrics say Sako, and sako is a gun company from Finland.

[vwsmephisto18]

i totlay have the same bass in black

[gizardofpoop]

Wow look at Shavo's shirt thats a first

[MrRoaldica]

maniac scream of Serj on 2.05 is awesome :B

[We2OwnAll]

Daron's face 1:30.

:Looks like a maniac ::D

[xxxScreamoKid16xxx]

2:03 EPIC!!!!

[drewsny]

who the fuck was the guy who took over darons microphone

[sonicroxs]

Street crew.. maybe darons voice was bad for epic screams?

[cyphervirus213]

whos the secondvocalist?

[mano6292]

Serj grita mucho mas fuerte que el otro estúpido

[ugonaeaturcornbread]

this is a great video of a band in their underground stage.

i was just looking at the myspace of a band that a couple of my mates are in, on one hand i think, they sound pretty good, and on the other i wonder how come they arent getting big? watching this video is the perfect explanation. soad are showing here that they were pure talent even before being signed. its a pure feeling.

and i love that thick meaty sound of darons old guitar. i wonder what pickups he was using back then.

[bassiestpaul]

lol its just a finder stradcaster

[tommy13z]

Hahahaha, dude its just a plain old Fender Strat.... single coil pickups...

But idk what gauge strings he used...

=]

and YES System of a down was fucking great...

i hope they come back eventually..

[NWOSTUDIOSV2]

System of a down is one maybe is the best band in the freaking world they were awesome1997-2004 then they sorta lost it i mean i still like their newest stuff but they seem bored as hell in their concerts in 2005 like they wanted to stop

[poopasoreass]

Damn, i wish they were still like this... playing small spots and letting anyone sing there songs on stage

[njones1091]

Serj says that all of them are STILL SOAD but wanted to chill out and go on their own projects, chill out guys, if they split they split.

anyways, first 2 albums are hard as hell :)

[faridjabba]

ye, he lost his voice power recently, no?

[faridjabba]

he lost his voice power recently, no?

[Ilovegamegothic3]

serj looks like homeless :D here..now he looks like...GOD :)

[TimmyRamone]

I agree with tttwas... The band is now over because Daron wants to sing more than Serj... Serj's supposed to be the fucking singer, not Daron...look at the song where Daron's the lead singer, like Lonely Day...THEY SUCK if compared to the first album songs.

[gamurai]

I totally agree with you man

[YardenGruman]

I disagree. I mean, I prefer the first 2 albums, but the thing I don't like in last two is the singing of Serj. Daron was really great in the last two albums.

[LastPageBand]

where are serj's dreads?

[KingSerjTankian]

That was crazy :D

[EricJames28]

Serj wanted to do his own thing,

Oh and your real hardcore hiding behind a computer..

[ihavethefunk]

they all wanted to do they're own thing, but daren didn't ruin it, they've all been talking about working on solo stuff,

its just daren who doesn't really want to get SOAD back together.

[EricJames28]

System of a down has always been perfect,

How did Daren ruin it?

[juggalette1216]

is it possible this was taken at mooses music hall? System came there when my dad worked there. they were starting to get popular so they came there.

[asfajhndashdahedliad]

did serj noticed that wasn't daron singing ? i think that yes right but sure how can he not noticed this

however that guy sing well he replaced well the serj part and the beauty was that serj let him to make the growl

[spiral501]

hahah. 1:30 when the guy comes out. Darons face is like. "what the fuck? xD" lol

[jeddster]

2:04 :O

[LoLiGun66]

WHO THE FUCK is the guy from 1:30? XDDDDD

[brookerREALLYsucks]

Daron

[thokedb]

thats there old maneger i think. they say something about him in sugar. cant remember the name, something with Sa

[Calvervtutrp]

sako
