FIRST TIME HEARING System Of A Down - Toxicity (Official HD Video)

[@Neal_YouTube]

"Why did he stop?!" Exactly my reaction the first time I heard the song. Outro is fire.

[@MxC06]

Outro is a banger !

[@kmr1017]

me every time a SOAD track stops LOLOL e

[@jaydubya9135]

I've watched a shitload of reactions to this song and everyone says that 😂 and I agree.

[@davidl8759]

haha yup but i love how they leave me wanting more

[@hannahmclaughlin348]

They should've done an actual song with that outro...fire.

[@mshambaPGrated]

"WHY DID HE STOP???" Welcome to SOAD

[@driftergdg]

I love System of a Down. Particularly I love the way they bring their Armenian heritage vocally, lyrically, rhythmically & instrumentally into their music.

[@Spudz76]

And that might be where the Hey There Delilah feel came from, folk style riffs and construction, but then also metallicized.

[@sethwells2803]

When you said “WHY DID HE STOP!?” I felt that man

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

Great reaction...and my sentiments exactly..."why did they stop?!?" 🔥🔥

[@ottoirizarry41]

Every fan of SOAD feel the same way

[@SlickONick]

@@ottoirizarry41 As a SOAD fan, I can confirm!

[@kvici]

it's called crescendo. the song escalated until it blew up - and that's where it stayed.

[@kmr1017]

when he switched from melodic to scream om the same word/note (disorder) Serj is a LEGEND!

[@Robby_C]

I always thought the same thing about the end.... that breakdown is so hyped and it just gets deaded... its like "okk... soo what do i do with all this energy now... " lol

[@Robby_C]

Such a creative band. I've never been a nu-metal fan in general, but i've always appreciated System's talent in particular.

[@jofi4580]

SOAD and DEFTONES that's all you need from nu

[@Robby_C]

@@jofi4580 I'm on board with that. You can probably sprinkle Limp Bizkits first album in there too lol.

[@jofi4580]

@@Robby_C I can't deny the wizardry of Wes Borland but I can stand Durst

[@Robby_C]

@@jofi4580 yeah, he's a tool for sure, that first album was just so aggressive that it stuck with me lol

[@Neal_YouTube]

How you not going to give Static-X a like?

[@SoniaAlese]

You should react to their song "B.Y.O.B" it was about the war in Iraq and whatnot... a lot of change ups in musical styles within the 1 song, so cool.

[@sashaguevara4115]

Yes!!! First time I hear anyone acknowledge the drummer!! He is freaking awesome!

[@seguinryan]

YT sent me here; two years after you posted this. Just wanted to say your content is hilarious, well done. System is so good. They were one of the bands that got me through alot of child hood. Serj Tankian is a master vocalist.

[@Tessimistic420]

I-E-A-I-A-O is a fun one to sing along with. I think I remember seeing a interview with them explaining the title of this one. But it sounded great the way it was so they didn't come up with anything else an left it I-E-A-I-A-O

[@CensoredGlamour]

I second this. It’s one of my fave System songs!

[@ericlittle162]

Don't forget about sugar. I've seen them live on their first tour it was quite amazing and I was fortunate enough to experience the first three lappaloozas along with a whole lot of death metal, hardcore and punk rock in Florida from the mid 80s onward and these guys bring an incredible amount of energy every single song is its own orchestra there are certain bands that take you to another level and this is one of them along with anything Chris Cornell did. I think you should also check out Pantera cowboys from hell along with Slipknot ,CMFT from Stone Cold I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS. ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY YOU MUST CHECK OUT TOOL AND GO DOWN THE WORMHOLE AND LISTEN TO THE POT .

[@joesephkroll2056]

Yes yes, and may I add, YES!! Pogo is in that category too.

[@AlexSpinOs]

I low key hope you slip into the System of a Down rabbit hole.. Unique piece of art. Their most popular songs are Chop Suey, Question, Aerials, Spiders, Sugar, BYOB - all worth listening to, dont get me wrong - but dont sleep on Streamline, Innervision, ATWA, Pictures, Dreaming!!! Thank you for the reaction bro, I love this band!

[@spencer4444]

Innervision, ATWA, and suggestions are my top

[@xthundr2983]

why did they stop? that happens too so many of their songs. they are geniuses. also their drummer is beyond good.

[@dickweed939]

very intelligent aswell

[@anaisr-p2.085]

5:24 😂 "that" reaction at the end of the song . So true ☺️

[@MrMiguella]

Gotta listen to the whole album in order. Each song leads into each other

[@KaizerHiwatari]

I love that all of the band members are Armenian and you can really hear the Middle Eastern influences in their instrumentals and vocal styles. Even while it's still nu metal af, and a mood swing in musical form.

[@matthewdennis4572]

I'm a drummer, I taught my self listening to system of a down, this is my favorite song to play. I got in 2 bands because of it.

[@spencer4444]

I love watching videos like this, makes me feel like I’m listening to the songs for the first time again

[@keithgilltrap2652]

The lead guitar player went on to a band called Scars on Broadway, Check out their song They Say.

[@prhl]

4:32 the way he just starts headbanging 😂😭🤟🏼

[@pandoamessi4079]

Their names are Serj Tankian (lead singer, he also has some solo work that you should definitely check out when you have time), Daron Malakian (lead singer and guitarist, has his own band called Scars On Broadway), Shavo Odadjian (the one with the epic beard) and the awesome drummer is John Dolmayan! It's my favorite band and I highly recommend all of their songs, but for a start you can check these😂: •B.Y.O.B. (bring your own bombs) •I-E-A-I-A-I-O (spells Idealization without the consonants- also has a hidden message at the end!) •Question •ATWA (air, trees, water, animals) *•Sugar* (it's one of their first songs and I honestly *love* it) • *HOLY MOUNTAINS* IS A MUST BRO- don't you even dare forget about it😂 •Mr. Jack These are enough for now! Enjoy! :)

[@Madnesseditss]

I also recommend to check Aerials. My most favorite song of SOAD.

[@pandoamessi4079]

@@Madnesseditss he already did that, but I agree! It's one of my favorites too!

[@jen_sal]

Best way to watch SOAD is the lyric videos. Makes you appreciative their genius.

[@RealShadowJacker]

Nothing beats Cigaro. It will never get out of your head. It hasn’t left mine for almost 20 years

[@JK-rq7yr]

Spiders, check that one out. Sugar is really good as well.

[@geraldinekennedy9929]

I LOVE seeing the reactions of fans of other genres when they first listen to rock/metal etc. Priceless

[@JC-fp8wy]

Highway song - the drummer carries that song start to finish.

[@alanleys]

Credit to you bud, for trying something new to you. Great reaction. Likely someone here has already commented, on the metaphor aspect of 'seeds' in that song. :-)

[@nickmoryn1117]

Watching people discovering music I love - especially people unfamiliar with the artists or genres as a whole - will never get old

[@biswojyoti1]

Said, is the essence of "never let them know your next move". That's all of their songs.

[@silviahannak3213]

Because the Song is over. :-P Serj Tankian, his Voice got me when i was about 15 or so. I loved it.

[@milliegoodwin9540]

My favourites of SOAD are deer dance, prison song, BYOB, ATWA, forest and this one

[@bhelliom3]

When he yells "YOOOOU" after the instrumental break I ALWAYS get chills. Such a fucking BANGERRRR.

[@zaaj11]

Drum play in this song is my favorite ever

[@airrrport]

Loving these reactions man. System was easily my favorite band thru high school & college. I’d love to see what you think of B.Y.O.B 🤘

[@blanketion7961]

Definitley BYOB next

[@jaymachado496]

Can't wait to see your BYOB reaction!

[@jessicaphillips8422]

That reaction just gave you my sub. You made me relive hearing that song for the first time soo soo many years ago. I love that you appreciate the message and complexity🤘

[@thseed7]

Lost In Hollywood, Revenga, ATWA, Forest, Lonely Day, B.Y.O.B. are all great System songs.

[@DepressedAngelsFan45]

The moshpits to this song are crazy

[@Crunchyfrog28]

I was lucky enough to see them live and they are AMAZING

[@ladyethyme]

Lucky!!!

[@A_Qwynide]

Its real time. Toxicity is one of the near-universal songs for drummers to kind of measure themselves as "real" drummers vs just hobbyist garage band style drummers

[@scraff97]

I laughed when you said 'why did they stop?', listen to the album from front to back, you will be satisfied....for a bit, then you will want fo do it again. The art of Album Song Order is strong here.

[@shiftygirl6434]

SUGAR!!! lol love your reaction man, thanks so much for checking out S.O.A.D

[@spirit_theyarehere]

i LOVE this song and have thought soooo many times "why does he stop?!?"

[@ctwodub]

The entire albums "Mesmerize" and "Hypnotize" were 🔥🔥🔥 and we're my anthem in middle school and highschool

[@Sara-tl6gu]

You are such a ray of sunshine. You have became my favorite reactor. I smile from beginning to end with all of them. Found you from one of your Jordan Peterson reactions, you give me so much hope for our future. Thank you

[@Officialcammm]

Wow thank you so much Sara!

[@lornae8683]

I love your energy! Watching this video with you was like watching it for the first time . Thanks for sharing.The name of the band is System of Down.

[@decostetocoast]

The main reason I think that you just start to get into the song is it sounded like to me after listening to this album so many times I can't think, you would enjoy listening to the whole album, its a great listen!

[@kbbeers4274]

Chop Suey is one of my favorites of SOD. 😊 Thank you for sharing your time with us. ☮️

[@fergarising1972]

I was married to a Chaldean, evertime we went to one of her familys' homes, there were seeds offered, they would sit around for hours eating seeds and talking...

[@noepalacios6472]

You have a new subscriber bro..... Your reactions are fire and i love System !!! 🔥

[@Sky14318]

So much JOY watching you experience this for the first time. Lmao. I love it. My husbands band used to do a super clean cover of Toxicity… the crowd would go frigging NUTS. They did an outside show for 98 Rock once and the DJ had to stop them cuz the mosh pit was getting “dangerous”. Hahaha. Great song. Great reaction.

[@JimmyTheSaintDailyVideos]

The half-beats of the drums make this song. The guitars are simplistic for the most part, but the drums glue it all together.

[@paulb4604]

You gotta look up Nandi Bushell on YT. She's about 13 years old and does AMAZING drum covers!!!! She did this song, along with a bunch of other songs by other artists. She even got to perform on stage with Foo Fighters in LA last year. She's amazing and she kills this song!

[@bobchase1976]

Any song by System of a Down is worth listening and reacting to. They have a sound unlike anyone else.

[@someguy53299]

Please oh please do hypnotize. You won't regret it

[@trevongates1181]

To me the drummer for this band could win any battle against anyone bro is …….NAAAAASTY!!!!!

Bruh SOAD drummer is probably the best of all time, not even exaggerating

[@armandhuman7700]

Yeah i've been a huge fan of SOAD from literally day 1... I still remember walking to school while singing SOAD songs on the road 🤣

[@3generboiler]

Agree .. I wanted it to continue as well .. they completely rock with unexpected turns .. the best since Queen Bhomenian Rhapsody

[@chrisnoah7868]

Such a toxicallly catchy group! I love it!!

[@joshuadavis9765]

So that ending is the the whole point of the song. Its Toxic, its Disorderly, and its Perfect!!

[@Tuffy2112]

I've always love SOAD..... I can get my aggression out in part of the song and then feel mellow and harmonize my ass off with them (in my head) in the next part of the song. I usually listen to them when I'm driving so no one else can hear me! 🤣

[@joshuasterling2144]

I thought we would never hear another song from them. I am just glad they have been working with each other recently.

[@jennevieveberlin]

Do Aerials! It's such a gorgeous song with a powerful message. Lots of amazing vocals in that one.

[@danielsocarras4212]

Nos hacemos la misma pregunta,“why did he stop”la he escuchado miles de veces y siempre quiero que siga😁

[@speckledove]

Maybe not quite this intense but the live shows were exhausting and friggen lit all at the same time.....once in a lifetime!

[@lornae8683]

YES they can definitely get LIT!!! Boy this takes me back!!!! We had music in my day, I don’t know what y’all listening to today.

[@crimsunomad]

I'd recommend listening to Serj Tankian (lead singer) solo discography he sings phenomenally

[@Ear_Candy_8650]

Now would be a great time for them to get back together! ❤

[@e.paradigm7415]

Bruh, ALL of systems songs are straight fire, but you have to check out Sugar, Spiders, Lonely Day, B.Y.O.B., Prison Song, Psycho, Streamline, Peephole, Snowblind, you just can’t go wrong with System, bruh. I can listen to all their albums from first to last. Welcome to the club!

This was my best friend’s reaction to when I got him to nirvana for the first time

[@michellemondragon2400]

Ok now if you want to react to some crazy drumming you've got to check out the band "All That Remains" the song "This Calling" the drumming is insanely good! The song is off the album called "The Fall of Ideals" which in my opinion is the finest example of Metal Core ever recorded!

[@dansexitstrategy5042]

Love the drumming in this song.

[@theSOADlv]

In the last part you were riding a horse 😂😂😂 amazing reaction, thanks 👌🏻 BYOB next 🫣

[@t.e.stroud1781]

Serge has the vocal equivalent to Steve Buscemi's face. It's kind of haunting and wholly unique.

The Introducing Drug to a complete new part of your life. Let me be the first to welcome you. This band will change your life forever. And I recommend Tentative from their album Hypnotize. Completely underrated Song

[@granty304]

Still gives me chills 20 years later lol

[@silviofoj]

Oh, here you are. Welcome again! If I could recommend you two more songs to react would be "Roulette" and "Soldier Side". Will blow your mind. Take a seat, grab a drink, make yourself home and enjoy the trip. Loving your SOAD reacts, kid. Keep going!

[@lo2773]

No one ever recommends the song Question but it's worth listening to.

[@jasminebella4029]

Everybody who has heard this song asks that same exact question when it goes off😂
