The cello rubbing instead of "how come they always send the poor" was hilarious.

[@66DarkTerror]

fucking genius

[@MrRevolutionxz]

The best thing I've ever heard...

[@theylive1997]

Freakin' genius.

[@blodfiregold5659]

yea this song was realy good

[@docontraplays2789]

i thought it was "why do they aways send the poor...

[@BeTheDerp]

I like how they move their heads everywhere uncontrollably.

[@jocelynruiz-moreno3440]

BeTheDerp it’s the cellist equivalent of a headbanging :D

[@HorribleSonofa]

I love how they all have distinct physical personalities as they play.

[@zalex2357]

Love it too lol. ALSO, in my experience with playing in an ensemble without a conductor, it’s helpful to make physical gestures of keeping in time with each other. Sometimes there’s a leader! It’s cool how they all have their own style of doing so as well. cheers 😊

[@straypaperplane]

they look sped up

[@hyspecs7906]

That's their enjoyment of the song.

[@Apfelvater]

0:30 the fact, how close this sounds to the original is amazing!

[@insanegenius0353]

I love how he did the opening scream by just rubbing his hand along the back of his cello. Interesting substitute

[@AdityaDeo-cg6eu]

Interesting indeed

[@jojbouk]

i was honestly like 'you cant be serious" but i clicked it anyways and was blown away HOLY CRAP

[@digitalgamer3722]

There's a guy who covered meshuggah's bleed on a bongo

[@khloeg1649]

Never underestimate cellists

[@nicolaspallauf2901]

i love how you imitated the "why do you always send the poor" scream in the beginning.

[@JangToki]

I hear no difference LOL

[@ErikForSOAD]

it sounded like most of us when we try to sing that part xD

[@potoquinhu]

it kinda surprised me hahahaha

[@4ndr3c3s4r1n0]

"WHY DO THEY ALWAYS TELEPORT??" Catching Abra is a pain in the ass.

[@donowitz172]

Thanks KZbin for making this kind of comments exist.

this is the best comment i have ever seen

[@catadanna4679]

Heard, you mean.

[@xentan]

God damn a cello is such a good instrument to represent Serj Tankian's voice.

[@michaelns9887]

God damn the back of the cello is such a good instrument to represent Daron Malakian's voice

[@JaallMadGamer]

Zeeshan Sohail I absolutely love violin covers of other songs, is so different to anything else. Greats covers on your channel btw. You should do more

[@smashbros379ful]

Classical Thrash Metal. This needs to be mainstream right fucking now!

[@luxxlethor5505]

that isn't thrash metal

[@ilyazalitsaev4239]

And SOAD is actually mainstream.

[@klink4313]

Ilya Zalitsaev Only like 5 of their songs are mainstream. It's a shame really. Their least popular songs seem to be the best.

[@AakashBalajiCyborg]

Chop suey , byob, aerials , hypnotize ,toxicity, lonely day, these are mainstream , but damn ,ctheir less mainstream songs are the bomb.

[@smashbros379ful]

***** I wanted to say alternative metal at first, but i feared a misunderstanding. But hey, look where it got me. lol

[@GamalKevin]

"still you feed us lies from the tablecloth" I still headbang when that part comes. You did that too, admit it.

[@siddharthsinha9300]

Alright, you got me. I did that, and I still do.

[@TABBYMUSIC]

From “why do they always send the poor” to *EEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

[@doggotomas7041]

Sytem of a down *WHY THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR* Cello *SSSCCCRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!*

[@nhrider93]

That's funny on 2 levels you put enough space in it so it reads why they always send the poor......read more.

[@MazSix45]

That shit was fucken funny

[@Santiago-es1rj]

*why do they always censore porn

[@crusadercarl6269]

0:04 when the bosses health bar starts to refill

[@jrmckim]

You can really feel their connection with each other. It's incredible. They are completely in sync and can feel each of their individual rythms. You can see the trust they have for their band mates.

[@danielknapp3267]

Well said. The connection between musicians in a group setting is an incredible feeling, like a sixth sense or third eye for each other's feelings. I'm reminded of this quote: "90 percent of playing with an artist or in a band or being a part of a project is the hang. The other 10 percent is when you finally get to go onstage and do what you do." - Sheila E.

[@PigCrafted23]

Two things that make system of a down special: 1. Their goofy lyrics 2. Their harmonies 3. Everything

[@hootenay6008]

MardukFilms this song wasn't goofy at all

[@Yoraii]

MardukFilms did you hear lyrics?

[@henriktheonly3874]

Says: Two things that make SOAD special: *Points out 3 things*

[@alib.sanchez3224]

you are right

[@whodatguy1376]

Henry Andersen goddamn

[@benjamingardner3314]

I'm not sure that the members are the same, but I met these guys on the NY subway during a college choral trip, and they got out and performed a Tool cover for my friends and I in the middle of a subway stop on request. One of the most memorable music moments of my life.

[@Annabella_Assassins]

I love how everyone is smiling and looking at each other. They’re enjoying what they’re doing and they’re playing together in harmony

[@jjmeer]

smiling the whole time, this was awesome!

[@DeFiiya]

Me too!!! :D

[@simonbedan139]

so true :D

[@djotsirave6109]

Right!

[@_focks6046]

This shows metal can actually be soothing its a very interesting genre

[@rome5628]

🤘 metal is just classical played with guitars

[@vaneyes5137]

2:08 - 2:11 - The way he looks at his friend and enjoy his playing is all that music is about, warms the heart

[@its_nightwolf2764]

0:31 I Died XDDDD

[@arthurzhang6765]

what type of cello does the third guy have

[@gabrielhole-jones2547]

+Arthur Zhang Dunno, but it has a really cool percussion sound, amirite?

[@remjuicepachuau4429]

drumming cello

[@Loveyatoo]

+Arthur Zhang when u cant play just take a drum...

[@yogacholandha]

rhythmic cello hahaha

[@InsaneELITEMakesVideos]

A djembe cello

[@muiznazareth]

1:43.. the bass part that was played by the girl is the key which makes this whole cover sounds alive and good

[@msDanielp369]

bass should sound more than any other instrument, usually. cause you know, it’s the base, and if you wrote your song right, it’s only natural that the other ones fit and accompany and give detail to it just perfectly

[@angelpear219]

Madness of SoaD + Beauty of cellos (and drum) = A perfect kind of chaos

[@davidrangelo.3235]

*Everybody's going to the party have to real good time* *_I love that part_* ❤

[@kevindiluigi9377]

And this version is amazing

[@Barbaroossa]

I wasn't ready for that moment at 0:31, now it's 1:51 AM and I just woke the whole with my laughter.

[@bigchunk1]

Why do they always send the poor?

Yo, that screech on the cello at the beginning is the perfect imitation of how the song starts out.
