Rappers React To System Of A Down "B.Y.O.B"!!!

[@roots14808]

"Dancing in the deset, blowing up the sunshine" line is meant to represent the Army (presumably U.S) heading out to Iraq, Afghan, Syria all them countries and fighting wars.. Dancing and blowing up the sunshine. I swear to God SOAD's got the best hidden meaning ever, gotta love em. My next suggestion should be Question or Hypnotize..

[@Shawn-my2fn]

Their voices sound so fucking good together!

[@themadcow71]

Question - SOAD's most underrated song according to statistical data and scientific research.

[@DocRobert]

YES. Absolutely. And as someone who watches a lot of reactions, I LOVE when people hit those songs other reactors sleep on. :D

[@jason78981]

is that the question?

[@joelrainey8030]

Love the break down in that song how lovely and sweet it is but when it builds up to it’s breaking point it releases a very raw sound

[@teamfingahs4907]

Suggestions is up there..... Question at least is played on the radio.

[@maaax2105]

science? ddevil? shes like heroin? Tentative? U-fig? Question is way more popular

[@gabrielleroux1757]

First of all: yeah you were right at the end, BYOB stands for Bring your own bombs. 2: The other signer maybe started as a « backup » singer in the band, but with each album he had more presence, and is legit a « 2nd » signer. In their last albums he even have songs where he is the only singer, or even having Serj serving as backup for him 3rd: You should really react to their song Soldier side (not the intro track from the album mesmerize, but the full song from the album hypnotise (which are by the way a 2 albums concept) ) . The way they sing together in this song is crazy good

[@LuisLopez-id4zc]

Good comment,seems like u r a true fan

[@vlastimil-furst]

Actually, even if he isn't the main singer, his importance for the band can't be overstated. Daron Malakian composed most of the band's music.

[@Gabriel_Moline]

6:49. It’s “blowing up the sunshine”. As in military destroying everything in its wake. Still, you might be able to boogie board on a sonic boom.

[@jasonjtd79dunne88]

The guitarist Daron had a project he fronted called Scars On Broadway.

[@300Gurken]

the leade singer serj tankian has also a solo project. empty walls is great

[@Bergwacht]

both sounds a bit like soad^^👍

[@witoldjanik]

+1 for "Empty Walls" of Serj Tankian +1 for Daron Malakian and Scars On Broadway "Lives" These song show how great artists are Tankian and Malakian after breaking apart of SOAD Both of these songs - absolutely touching up to tears. The second one ("Lives") could be hard to fully understand from the starting, but the story behind it's crucial to understand why each of SOAD squad member could be so heavily involved in anti-war movement. Not to giving you exact spoilers, find in the song the word starting in "g" letter (occur twice, repeated) and confront it with dates 1914 and 2019. Then, knowing the story behind this song you will see (I hope) some symbols in totally different way. Enjoy!

[@CowsR4me]

System Sundays? Songs to look into: ATWA, Aerials, Deer Dance, Ego Brain, Lost In Hollywood, Prison Song. I could probably just list all their songs.. Out of those i listed I guess Deer Dance and Aerials are maybe my favs? maybe their all great. I should mention the album version of Aerials is longer and you guys will probably enjoy Deer Dance's lyrics.

[@n8dagr881]

Deer dance and arials is so good 100% agreed

[@markmaloney3140]

Its time. That our slipnot?

[@markmaloney3140]

Or*

[@leonidasneves7972]

YES.... if they want to hear serj going crazy Mind, know, suggestions are amazing choice.... and of course they craziest moment BANANA THERACOTA PIE!

[@n8dagr881]

@@leonidasneves7972 vicinity of obscenity is a good song too

[@jenz1138]

I saw System of a Down LIVE at Ozzfest in 2005. I cried. They were amazing and as perfect live as on album.

[@peteylavoy2288]

Serj has one of the best metal/rock voice of all time .

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

One thing I love about the double album this song came from, the guitarist Daron Malakian said he loved songs that have these epic parts in the middle or towards the end and wanted to create an album full of songs jam packed with epic moments. They strove to create these epic rock opera's in 2 to 3 minute chunks and I think they accomplished that goal.

[@LuisLopez-id4zc]

Daron was known for being the savage craziest guy in the band ,and his way of singin demonstrate it

[@user-ti6rs1ev4h]

Holy I didn’t think it would come. Now they need to do spider yes I know it’s coming keep up the work guys your doing great

[@dalemcgregor405]

Spiders!!! Yes yes yes

[@justinclayton8511]

Agreed, Spiders is great

[@Hollywood6IX]

Will do bro...thanks for being here with us

[@Triggerhippie70]

Clearly one of the best songs ever! This band is so damn badass!

[@walterehly9454]

Survey says... "Bring your own Bombs" , might I suggest Question, Prison Song, and Cigaro by S.O.A.D, all killer

[@ultslipknot]

I usually halfway agree when someone mentions multiple tracks, but you sir *I agree with 100%*

[@koopa7231]

The guitar when they say “everybody’s going to party to a real good time” is so freaking good.

[@VisionalHD]

Guys should react to some Buckethead! Once you enter bucketheadland there’s no coming out lol

[@VisionalHD]

I have mentioned this recently I’m sure you may have seen but defiantly would love to see your mind be blown!

[@purp8507]

Buckethead always a good choice!

[@paulpanza1474]

Hell yeah about buckethead. I've requested that a few months ago. Hopefully they will get to it. If they react to Jordan or any of his funkadelic stuff they will freak!

[@mmakeup_mmama83]

Yes. Finally more SOAD 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼🖤

[@robbiemillar704]

I saw them twice on their mesmerized and hypnotized tours respectively.. what you hear on record is what you hear live and they are absolutely freaking amazing!!!!! Check out some of their live performances. Any song..

[@richtigersoan]

Wanna hear Serj rapping? Try "shame" originally by Wu Tang Clan. It's awesome

[@bigmaz88]

so glad i got to see soad live twice. one in 2006 ozzfest boston, second time it was just their own headline concert in boston. such amazing shows

[@RoxyWeasley12193]

I'm so curious to watch it, that's one of my favourite songs! SOAD is an addiction 🔥

[@Isaac_Fruity]

i recommend a lyric breakdown with System of a down songs cause sometimes it hard to hear exact lyrics but they go hard in them

[@ericaperez6287]

Love your reactions. I have this song on my work out playlist. I'm always on the treadmill at the gym like "La la la la la la la la la oooOOOooo" I don't care how crazy I sound!

[@jaywebb0113]

I would agree with others saying do more System Of A Down. Spider, Question and Aerials are all great songs.

[@flashpeter625]

I propose Buckethead for some instrumental guitar virtuosity. He's one of these unknown geniuses. I heard all 170 hrs of his solo work, incredibly diverse. My own Buckethead playlist is about 25 hours, I can listen to that all the time. Also, no copyright claims, I believe. I could give you a list of 200 items from nasty metal riffage to soft acoustic stuff. Good starting points: Soothsayer (the studio version probably better for beginners) Jordan live at the Culture Room (brutal guitar skill show-off, Guitar Hero players might know this one) Pike 65 - Hold Me Forever (an epic 28 -minute instrumental emotional tribute to Buckethead's deceased mother)

[@jonkwape3097]

I was going to say you may need lyrics at hand sometimes when you started, but you did catch the meaning perfectly. Kudos. My favorite reaction channel :)

[@jtrem08]

Definitely bring your own bombs forsure. These guys fell off my radar for years, thanks for bringing them back for me haha

[@iaincrawford8004]

SOAD are fantastic You guys videos are awesome, i love them

[@gamingwithsmiley2192]

Love some System!

[@1holibill]

The day we left hospital after giving birth to my so , we strapped him in the back seat, cradled in his capsule, and turned on the car stereo... SOAD’s “Toxicity” CD was playing as usual. Certainly no lullaby lol! Now 18 years later, even though his music taste is very different to mine 😣 he still to this day listens to and loves SOAD! Great reaction guys 🤘🏻👍🏻

[@tgbence1661]

System of a Down ATWA . PLEASE REACT TO ATWA

[@jaywebb0113]

it does mean Bring Your Own Bombs

[@ResubidorSerial]

soad is one of the most unique bands ever

[@Lostsage01]

SOAD tongue twister: IEAIAIO

[@niles8102]

Their cone back show at Sick New World Festival 2023 felt like we went back in time and it was like hearing them for the first time again! It was awesome!!

[@anthonysoares8072]

SOAD LETS GOOOOO! Man y’all are my favorite youtubers!

[@James-us8nt]

I remember when this came out. The first time i heard it i had his away in Carpentry class with a few friends. (obviously a friend who could afford it) and we listened to this CD and i fkn looooooooooved it. I was So into it and it was my personality for a month or two lmao. High School vibes. Think i was a Jr at the time this came out. Loved it though. Fkn love Soad.

[@boling1879]

I caught them on their first tour. They were amazing live. Really showed the timing thing you guys were talking about.

[@woodywoodster1000]

It stands for Bring Your Own Bombs

[@chrisgoss728]

The other singer is the guitarist, Darren Malikian. He sings backup on most songs and lead on "Lonely Day." Also, BYOB stands for bring your own bombs.

[@paulpanza1474]

Its bring you own bombs brothers! Serj the king. Daron the guitar player is the background and they perform amazing melodies. System true pioneers. Rock,funk,metal etc

[@jasonschulz8505]

G`Day lads this is an awesome song... you should do a reaction vid to wash it all away by five finger death punch!!!

[@true_nomad6141]

Byob stands for Bring your own bombs.

[@trevorvaughan8100]

i'm so happy that you guys find two of my three FAVORITE bands so good. they TOOL and SYSTEM have deeeeeeeeeeeep groove and soul. ill take you to see them if you guys are in NYC for one of their shows

[@nagatopainbio-hazard221]

I'm asking this is why I like people who like taking music requests, all right so you just listened to Heilung and absolutely loved it, and that is phenomenal, they are amazing. check out ensiferum "victory song" some more rocking Nordic Viking metal. They need a Viking emoji

[@gregbooher9592]

I remember watching this song on mtv2 count down after school and always have loved this song sence

[@vickielewis2336]

The other singer is Daron Malakian who has his own group Scars on Broadway

[@ohioagainsttheworld676]

y'all should try Forest by them, it's loaded with badasseries.

[@DocRobert]

The guitar player sings as well, and he has an amazing voice too... I admit his timing is less precise than Serj, but I think that makes them work well together... Serj will be right in the pocket, the other singer it’ll be a little high or low or the beat... it hits for me. If you want to hear their best duet though, check out Question. It’s an underrated epic.

[@lisafromnj2277]

58 year old grandma here, head banging and singing in my bed while my hubby of almost 40 yrs is watching the Yankees and giving me the look..... like wtf

[@teababe27]

The song that got me into them. I'm so happy to see you've become fans of this band. My favorite band throughout my high school years. Still love them today; these videos are actually helping me rediscover them somewhat. Also, cool Tool shirt. Another band I'm happy to see you've gotten into through this series, as Tool is my second favorite band.

[@mmakeup_mmama83]

Bring your own bombs BYOB

[@evaetterer6000]

Byob means bring you own bomb and thats the reason they got blocked, in germany too ! I love Serj Tankian he is soooooooo amazing not only with soad also solo ! Greatings from germany ❤

[@bobcowlesjr9920]

It's bring your own bombs. It's dancing in the desert blowing up sunshine singing about a war

[@Cavallero]

This song hit harder live when they started with Soldier Side behind the curtain!

[@ultslipknot]

serj does the main haul, but daron sings much more than you might have noticed. And he compliments serj with great backup and harmonizing.

[@stephaniewashburn7700]

My favorite song by them! Such a good vibe 🖤❤️‍🔥

[@thothtrismegistus4865]

Crazy enough. BYOB in this song, means Bring Your Own Bomb. Its twisted as hell but badass!

[@LithiumXwolf]

The lead singer, Serj Tankan, has a song called Empty Walls. A++ definitely recommend

[@chrissmith1011]

I'm dedicated. Like a thousand sub's before. Hollywood and Smokey you can do no wrong!!!!

[@Manonsilvermountain]

This song was their answer to Iraq War. there were scenes in this clip recreating what happened in Abu Quraib prison that was censored by MTV, same way as the verse "Where the fuck are you?" was cut out.

[@DocRobert]

If you want to hear an actual, straight-up, Serj Tankian rap flow, you gotta turn to their Wu-Tang collab. Otherwise he just does stuff that’s rap adjacent, and you’re left to conjecture how good a rapper he’d be. Great reaction as always, you guys rock. Love.

[@Cletuskasady0]

System Of A Down - Radio/Video

[@sirmang9032]

Considering you want more SOAD suggestions...here's a few songs that I haven't seen many people react to. Soldier Side. ATWA. Holy Mountains. If you want to hear Serj cover another politically motivated type of song then I suggest listening to him cover Dead Kennedy's - Holiday in Cambodia.

[@TommyWest.]

You should try "Deer Dance" by SOAD

[@thra-x1855]

I'd suggest checking out some of Serj Tankian's solo work, but the system of a down rabbit hole is still deep yet.

[@KillermondoDude]

Battalions of riot police, With rubber bullet kisses, Baton courtesy, Service with a smile :Deer Dance SOAD B.Y.O.B. bring your own bombs

[@jamal_wallace3]

“Why don’t Presidents fight the wars?” Actually, US President Bill Pullman went to battle, after delivering one of the best speeches of all time in 1996. Best US President ever!

[@twiggymarie81]

Oh please do SOAD- Question. It's one of my favorite songs 😍😍

[@Tenmashu]

You should listen to Serj in his solo work. It's different (obviously) but, no less great than anything he helped produce with System of a Down. Empty Walls would be my suggestion as a first listen.

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

Hey dudes, me again... Protest the Hero - These Colours Don't Run, A Plateful Of Our Dead , and Turn Soonest to the Sea. These guys will get you, and this audience, thinking. Really good stuff. Then, Mad Conductor - The Mass Wake-Up, Legendary Jams, or It Still Makes Me Wonder. Other than that, Suicidal Tendencies is great, but they have taken a bit of a backseat...which I guess is fitting...

[@Mind_Detergent]

It’s BYOB bring your own bombs 💣

[@redhotchilifan98]

Incredible band they are so unique in the way they structure their songs and the overall groove Lost in Hollywood and Holy Moutains are Incredible System songs or Psycho

[@TomTom13031]

Speaking of Corey Taylor, dude just dropped a new solo single that Tech N9ne features on. You guys should definitely check that one out!

[@chomratu]

How about Price of Reality by Amen??

[@PuppetMaster-Blade]

SOAD song that doesnt get any love anymore is "Forest" and "War" 2 of their best songs that no longer get shine. Forest has one of the best choruses SOAD has ever done, and War is full on wild. If you guys do Wars music video, I recommend using lyrics on the side as its part of their live concert and the equipment back then was not the best. But i still recommend the video though as Serjs dance are Godly and the visuals are also really nice, but audio quality is meh

[@Tenmashu]

Forest is still by far one of my absolute favorites

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

The breakdown in WAR? is phenomenal, gets me energized like few other songs on the planet.

[@PuppetMaster-Blade]

@@The_Fat_Turtle 100%

[@leonidasneves7972]

Yes agreed BUT the album version of war is 100% better than the music video idk why they used the demo on the music video

[@geist1399]

Seth and Wyclef Jean recorded a song named " Riot".

[@pwph8361]

I knew this song for ages, and I always thought 'B.Y.O.B' stood for Bring Your Own Beer, because in my ears/mind, the lyric was 'why do they always shut the bar, why do they always shut the bar, they always shut the bar, they always shut the bar!!'...... 🤣🤣🍻🍻
