System of a Down is an Armenian-American heavy metal band formed in Glendale, California, in 1994

System of a Down Aerials

[@Meowmeow-ys5zn]

one of my favourites great song

[@hurricane7479]

SOAD rarely, if ever, disclose the meanings behind their songs. They prefer to leave the interpretations up to the individual listener.

[@OpusRuspee]

"Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep.....disorder." Here's my take on it. I feel "sacred silence" means where we are prior to being born..."sleep," I think means death...which would mean that life=disorder.

[@AyeItsGabo]

That moment when you scrollin through the comments and you start reading and at that same exact moment the video says it.... I'm too fucking high

[@danielbly3539]

You have to listen to System of a Down- SUGAR You will not regret it.

[@YurkerYT]

Shugaaaaa

[@RareHarmony]

That was the first song I ever heard from SOAD. Still great.

[@rafaelmonteiro8026]

REACT TO SYSTEM OF A DOWN - BOOM LITERALLY NO ONE MADE A REACTION TO THIS SONG EVER If you can of course bro Fan from Brazil ✌️🇧🇷

[@themadcow71]

Question - System of a Down. It's very very epic.

[@wolfgangengel4835]

Great reaction. Good to know that BYOB is coming. Other Soad tracks you should try: Aerials Question

[@nim4464]

and Hypnotize, maybe Suggestions

NOW somewhere between the sacred silence Sacred silence and sleep

[@meltedbrick]

Some where between the sacred scilence and sleep

[@pfosti2085]

disorder, disorder, disorder!!!

[@iamjatan]

I alwats interpreted it as the sacred silence being the time before you are born and the sleep being death. So the chorus is essentially saying somewhere between birth and death lies chaos/disorder.

Get down to the roots brother, "Sugar" needs to be after B.Y.O.B. First single/video off their first album. We didn't know wtf we were listening to but loved it.

[@WesTexas88]

Zack de la Rocha + Run the Jewels! Check it out!

[@forevermarked5826]

Man this band never gets old. Shits STILL FIRE TODAY

[@Bob_Sacamano1975]

That was not a guitar solo, but a bridge.

[@UKLady]

I got to see Serj when he was opening on tour for the Foo Fighters and had no idea until he came on stage. It was a WONDERFUL surprise.

[@paintdaddyart7245]

system only has 1 solo that i can think of in their whole discography. some sub genres of rock, like new metal typically dont play solos. instead they use breakdowns. this is normally when the song slows down and gets extra heavy. after byob, react to sugar and wait for that breakdown

[@marcelobulhoes6180]

What solo? You mean the one from “lonely day”?

[@paintdaddyart7245]

@@marcelobulhoes6180 nah the one at the end of psycho

[@marcelobulhoes6180]

So you would say that there isn’t a guitar solo in lonely day?

[@munkeebranestoo5259]

Silence is sacred because it speaks loudest. Evidently, there's not much silence in LA. I think silence represents peace & quiet. Somewhere between that & disorder is the toxicity of the city. "When I became a son, I sung right into a man's HEART!" idk why but, I LOVE that line

[@averagecheesefan1232]

"When I became the son I shone life into the man's hearts." A years late correction

[@mannistef]

I am glad you are liking SOAD, one of my favorite bands from when I was your age. They have many great songs but B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Bombs) should be at the top of your list. They are talking about the Iraq war but could be about any war.

[@teresas8173]

For great guitar 🎸 you need to listen to Jimi Hendrix, BucketHead, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dimebag Darrel to name a few.

Those guitarists you mentioned? They're legends, toots. The least you could do is learn how to spell their names correctly.

Koil Von Daileystein , Vaughan... I corrected it, apologies, DarrEl too ☺️

[@wendyraymond1751]

This was awesome thanku lovely holla happy 4th of July love an god bless x

[@GatesNo]

"Oh, shit boys, this solo is gonna be crazy" Absolutely no solo. "I called it. 10s for the solo XD

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

I love this video especially when they first switch to the melodic part and they're just swaying around. 😊

[@OpusRuspee]

The band is from Armenia. They do live in L.A. though.

[@j.t.3798]

The city of 'fallen angels'. And yes guitar solo def a 10!

SUGAR.... by System of a Down..... Make sure you have the lyrics pulled but you will literally fall off your damn chair it’s so 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@vegars1973]

Next rabbit hole you should jump down is Rise Against. Im making a list here on what songs you should do 1. Prayer of the refuge 2. Make it stop 3. Survivor guilt 4. Hero of War ( need the video on this one) 5. Savior 6. Help is on the way 7. Give it all 8. Audience of one

[@sothu2909]

It's been ages since I have seen anyone mention rise against. It was so good to see this comment.

[@EndParenthesis]

System of a Down had a song in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, if you played that one. It was called 'Shimmy'.

[@wolfgangengel4835]

They are from Glendale. So LA County, not directly LA. But yeah, close to Hollywood. 😉 And they criticise Hollywood alot in their songs.

[@april6058]

SOTD members with the exception of Dorian (Hollywood)were born in either Lebanon or Armenia but all were raised from an early age in the Los Angeles area.

[@daisho13]

Deer dance and Prison song next. Such great relevant tracks that rarely get reacted to.

[@carlavalecko5955]

Hypnotize is a good one by them also.

[@stephendavidallen]

Amazing reaction!

[@jasonwall1995]

I've always thought about some of the lyrics in this song. "Eating seeds is a pastime activity" Makes me wonder if they are talking about RSA in Hollywood. It's like they were sending out a hidden message.

[@christopherchandler2860]

so I read an article one time about this song and they talked about the " eating seeds" part, in Armenia, where most of the band is from, sunflower seeds are like a national snack. So folks just sell seeds on every corner and they are just sitting around munching on them. true story, look it up

[@gunnerysgthartman9263]

Eating seeds refers to eating the youth. The toxic city, LA, ( or American culture as a whole) corrupts and destroys the youth

[@terminal2313]

The band is called System of a Down for a reason... Each lyric is a message about this self destructive world and society we live in.. the melodic instrumental followed by sudden pace changes transitioning back into the melodic stage in itself is a message.. and it's simple it represents the calm before the storm and then the change that comes when the storm has passed but after that transition sheds a calming bright light that sudden jump into chaos and darkness comes back around... They're actually genius with their music and meaning and how they relate the two.. aggression comes after something else has died down.. life is a cycle of the self destruction in humanity and system of a down is probably the best band in expressing that fact... Not necessarily the best band in the world but nobody can copy them or do better at what and how they do what they do

[@jasonwall1995]

@@christopherchandler2860 Double entendre in my opinion. Just like: "Looking at life through the eyes of a tired hub", is how the lyrics are listed. But to me, I believe he says "Looking at life through the eyes of a Tyrant" Who eats seeds. (Abusing children) If you couple that with the "Software Version" line. Knowing that pedophile actions has exponentially risen since the advent of the internet, it all makes sense. Want more? Ok. One of the horrible thing that happens to children who are abused, is the fracturing of their psyche into disassociative personalities. That is a "DISORDER". But if you know about children who have been traumatized, which I do because I was beaten as a child. You look forward to sleep. Because in your dreams you aren't in your life. And you become an introvert. Not talking or trusting anyone. So, "somewhere between the sacred silence (where you go into your own world) and sleep, (where you can dream of not being in your horrible reality) comes the abuse. (DISORDER) Where you feel owned. But how can you own disorder. Even speaking of "Flashlight reveries" maybe the victim thinking of being rescued to no avail. These are things that have many many victim accounts of in Hollywood. To come right out and say it could kill a person or group both metaphorically and literally. So SOAD used a metaphorical song to express their distain without commiting career suicide. Disclaimer: These thoughts are my own and are not sponsored or reflected by either the band itself nor the reactor on this channel, KZbin or the music distribution group. Once again, just my interpretation based on personal experiences and 20+ years of research into topics of a similar nature.

[@rwbranger62]

The singer and Co lead singer are from war torn Lebanon and the base player and drummer are from Armenia.

[@johickey3158]

irony i am eating seeds (pumpkin and sunflower) LOL one of my fav ever moshing songs ever

[@alexninjas2080]

They are Armenian, but Lebanese born (or so serj is), but live in LA. Huge, and I mean huge, Armenian area there🇦🇲

[@eljoelo2459]

There is chaos/disorder between the moment we are born until we die, the sacred silence is before we are born, the sleep is our death.

[@TorchMeetsWorld]

I used to see a local band cover this song and the drummer would cover her eyes with a bandana and theyd tear this song up

[@ronnelgonzales3009]

Bruh, thier all from Armenia, Vocals- Serje Tankian Guitars- Daron Malakian Bass- Shavo Odadjan Drums- John Dolmayan

[@jeremykifer]

Any system album, any song imo, is ,🔥

[@stephendavidallen]

You got it exactly right! Between silence and sleep is life. It is all random, and Disorder.

[@fr34cz64]

C'mon man.... Deer dance!!!! ✌️❤️

[@markmirabella4066]

You got it, they formed in Glendale CA but they’re Armenian-American. The lead singers grandparents were survivors of the Armenian Genocide and their music is heavily influenced by that tragic cultural experience.

[@gegart01]

More SOAD = more fun and joy

[@dalemcgregor405]

Please do Spiders, and Sugar. Both dope ass songs!

[@EricWoodyVariety59]

10 plus for the whole group

[@lynngarrow7077]

Between the sacred silence and sleep...if you are sleeping you aren't acting... get out there and do something!

[@VincentS988]

SOAD is an Armenian-American band from California. California has the largest Armenian population outside of Armenia. This song speaks about the turmoil and oppression of Armenian’s back in their country. Toxicity is about your poisonous content. Your personal level of toxicity. But toxicity doesn't necessarily mean the toxicity of a person. It can be the toxicity of a city, state, and/or nation. It's just toxicity in general that is encompassing in all of us.

[@tomwolfe6063]

That wasn’t a solo but the same rules apply to instrumental breaks. Solos break away from the repetitive main riff of the song and are typically at a higher pitch.

[@carulz]

There is one song by them in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4. Shimmy - System of a Down

[@mightylink]

Hypnotize

[@rwbranger62]

Listen to SYSTEM OF A DOWN- BOOM 💥 OFFICIAL VIDEO THEN YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE BAND

[@Krossiant]

I am pretty sure the guy who moved at the beginning of chop suey was serj (the lead singer) being within the crowd.

[@jakehawthorn]

Eating seeds as a pastime activity, to me, is a allegory to how passive we have become. Specially after the second verse which start off talking about the homeless.

[@Liam_eman]

Yo what good my man, love the reactions. I got a request for you.You have to do dear dance By System of a Down. AND LISTEN GOOD TO THE LYRICS !!!!!!!!! 🇦🇼

If you want hear him play a solo, check out the BDO 02 performance of "Psycho".

[@peluchingamarra3127]

'Guitar solo' HAHAHAHAHA!

[@feathersz1952]

The ending is related to the “Don Quixote” story. The sacred silence is death, so between the “sacred silence” and sleep is “life”.

Great reaction! Check out system of a down (drum cover) Edwuarda henklein (5 years old)!

[@plaid11]

I hate to tell you but many bands like SOAD either don’t have guitar solos or they aren’t really close to being up there with their solos. Look towards Pink Floyd, Metallica, Tool, Lynyrd Skynyrd, or others like them for some of the better solos

[@greglewis725]

Rage is a blunt hammer most of the time and it's supposed to be. System is a bit more "theatrical" maybe? More metaphor to sift through for sure. Just my take, I grew up with Rage as a teenager.

[@bowlingaly5059]

They are from LA

[@moniqueleroux2198]

Let's hear it for the rhyme section! I give the base and drums a 10. Are we not seeing disorder in our cities now? I think this song speaks to oppression of any sort.

10!! 💯
