SYSTEM OF A DOWN - Toxicity | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis) | Jennifer Glatzhofer

[@cravo15]

Love seeing people discover SOAD for the first time :D

[@anaisr-p2.085]

Me too❤

[@Molix1981]

Yeah , but you do realize, that some KZbinrs do that, to get some more viewers and subscribers, right?

[@Munshkin27]

@@Molix1981 No way, KZbinrs do content to grow their channel ? Wow.

[@ttrmotocross]

Never gets old! The worst part is them pausing in surprise because Serj is so unpredictable, and I just want to jam! Still loveit though, their faces are always priceless.

[@Molix1981]

@@Munshkin27 It seems I have to explain, what I meant is that many KZbinrs say it's their first reaction to a certain band, when in reality they already know it, and they do it to get more likes and subscriptions...yeah my mistake, I should have explained myself better..

[@TheJerbol]

Listening to Serj absolutely shred the first two syllables of DISORder then within the same word transfer to a smooth vibratto last syllable for disorDER is just incredible

[@zeldyrrolorin9962]

Not sure if you are up for (or you might say keen for) more SOAD but I'd recommend Chop Suey. The official video there only has 1.2B views so... :-P

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

😁 thanks!

[@Петърчо]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer, seconding. You won't regret it.

[@kulson9848]

Yeah just only 1.2B nothing special. Huh😅

[@dj-VOME]

💯

[@howiedoing6615]

I kind of wish you would have reacted to Chop Suey as your first SOAD song. It's Kind of like watching S.O.S. the first time you watch Dimash. Sets the tone for everything else to come.

[@YaboiiLando]

3:28 ANY of their highest viewed SOAD vidoes on KZbin are perfect if you love the unexpected nature of their music! Aerials, Chop Suey, Question!, B.Y.O.B., Sugar, Hypnotize, Spiders and so many more!

[@fidodidocl]

I'll add "Prison Song"

[@OneDayOfPiece]

And dreaming as well 💯💯

[@Cybik333]

its B Y O B * (bring your own bomb)

[@5foot2eyesofblue13]

Question!

[@danny-d0rito]

add "Revenga" to that maybe? not a popular one but it's great for crazy melodies and what's essentially rap-singing

[@Maxwellish]

Serj and Daron are both incredible vocalists! would love to see more SOAD reactions :)

[@AGKaiju]

I've discovered Forest recently (how did I miss it), and the spikes of Serj's range showed. Such a banger off of this album.

[@julswtv]

my fav song :)

[@mastod0n1]

I love watching how every reacter will start headbanging or bouncing at the very end and then getting disappointed when it doesn't keep going lol.

[@krekerkreker7579]

This is an extraordinary talent to stop at the most interesting places.

[@Funpack83]

Make you almost think that she had heard the song before 😉

[@INFLUENCEtheband]

This whole album is a classic

[@matthewgoodA1206]

These guys have always brandished their own unique and perhaps quirky style of metal. Without making ethnicity too much of a point, I imagine some of that stems from their collective Armenian heritage. But on the other hand it can just as likely come from their own personal artistic quirks as musicians.

[@rainbowraver666]

as an armenian I can confirm their music is definitely influenced by traditional armenian music, both the vocals and some of the instrumentation 💖 its so cool seeing some of our culture represented by them 🇦🇲

[@TexasRepo73]

I really enjoyed this video. I LOVE this song. The way you are explaining the vocals is fantastic. I learned something today. Thank you.

[@GoFromZeroTo1]

Ok, you’re amazing. FiR brought me here, and I am so glad they did! Your personality feels natural, not contrived. Great for reactions! And obviously, your technical chops and knowledge are high level. Thanks for doing these! And definitely, definitely more SOAD / FiR etc

[@juanrincon4110]

You're in for quite a journey if you decide to keep listening to SOAD. They are among the most unique bands to exist. What makes them so exciting is that you can never tell where the song and music are going. This band is a treat for first listeners. Oh snd Serj's voice is just so unique.

[@danielbeshers1689]

At the risk of being too corny to be allowed, I am a fan of this channel.

[@MrHotsnakes]

Such a journey to go down. Serge and Darron's vocals also tune in to the lyrics you won't be disappointed

[@lars88hm]

Serj is like a texbook of vocal skills put into practice

[@nikinikolov2982]

All the songs from the album Toxicity are amazing and I know them when I was a kid. Rly like when someone is introduced with their art and have a good time 😊. Keep up with the great work.

[@alfonsovillalba7408]

No hablo inglés, lo siento, pero es la mejor reacción que he visto de esta canción, eres tan natural y técnica al mismo tiempo, que no tengo palabras

[@alfonsovillalba7408]

@@Blackard84 mil gracias amigo, eres grande

[@tdb2012]

I was quite curious to see how you'd breakdown down System of a Down's "Toxicity." It's a rather unusual song. SoaD was the first Armenian-American band I was introduced to. Their sound is so distictive, you know it's an SoaD song after just a few notes. And you did a most excellent job! At some point down the road (not too far down hopefully) I'd like to see your breakdown of SoaD's song "Aerials" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gl7MlqOraKqnr6c ). You liked Toxicity, so "Aerials" would be right up your alley. 😉

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!! It’s on the list 😁

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

B.Y.O.B. is probably my favorite video, but this one is got some great FX

[@commentingisdangerous7530]

i can't say how refreshing it is to see a lady be so genuine and open minded. this was a ton of fun. way to be vulnerable and put yourself out there with something you have never experienced before.

[@nmnmnm9509]

This song is about living in a city that is toxic and poisons the body and soul of people. A city that is involved in disorder and everyone is silent. The best activity is eating seeds, which is a worthless waste of time. In the end, he wishes that he was a sun that shines on people's hearts and fills them with love. The sun is a symbol of love and life.

[@samissmokin]

Eating seeds is a metaphor to eating the potential/resources

[@danny-d0rito]

@@samissmokin or all the girls in the clubs eating "seed"

[@dirtypoopwater2309]

In the end he chose and random book and a random page and a random line and put it in the song

[@roadkill7314]

Really fun to see you so obviously leave your musical comfort zone to explore other genres!

[@milesyager2903]

SoD is known for having very deep lyrics. They are usually political in nature. They aren’t a sex drugs and rock and roll band. There is a ton of substance to their work. It doesn’t hurt that they kick some serious ass either!!

[@kght222]

listen to the song "bounce". there is a song like that on each of their albums.

[@mastod0n1]

There are definitely elements of Dadaism in their lyrics. I believe Serj has said it's an influence. So not all of their lyrics are as deep as they seem. Some are, but don't read into some of the abstract ones too much.

[@suevillarreal9315]

I'll just say, Hi Jen!! I hope you have a great week! I'll repeat a previous comment of mine, you are so professional that you can analyze anything. Take care.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Hey hey😁🙌🏼

[@MoslemNadi]

Hello. I saw two of your videos by chance😊. I must say that I felt very good about your reactions. You have a good knowledge of music and this helps you to understand the events in the music very well and convey it to the viewer. 😍 Also, it is very respectful that you stop at the peak of the music and apologize to the viewer afterwards. I am from Iran and I translated this text with Google Translate and I don't know how much it was able to translate my words correctly, but in short I had a lot of fun and your reaction is very lovely.❤❤❤❤

[@glompotheclown]

I love watching people's faces when Serj starts showcasing Serj

[@joshschwarzbauer8155]

There's a lot of good SoaD to check out, and Serj's solo stuff as well.

I'm amazed so many vocal teachers miss the wonderful runs Serj does that show the Armenian background.

[@mikebunzey3146]

Serges vocals are underrated fo sho! His range is unmatched ! Sent straight from the gods of metal!☠️👹👺💪😤

[@mekatokam]

If u want to annalize his voice deeply. Recommend u "AERIALS" . In this one u really can hear his voice cualities.

[@Yvory6]

Of course she will like him, Srerj is a great vocalist, he started as an opera singer

[@maximilianodruetta6757]

I like your reaction, greetings from argentina

[@JackRazz1]

When the second verse starts at 10:28 , I enjoy the guitarist, Daron, whispering the vocals in unison with Serj's singing voice. I once tried to describe Serj's voice like a tapered paint brush. It is wide enough for powerful strokes, yet fine-tipped for precision in a higher register. The tapered edge leaves a lot of room to try all sorts of effects - as is evident to the listener in just about any single song sung by Serj. My favorite part of your reactions though? I have learned so, so much about voice/singing in general! Thank you.

[@nickhansen8990]

“Lonely Day” is a good way to listen to mainly the “backup singer” Daron. Lots of great vocal performances in all the SOAD songs. Enjoy!

[@TheSyncos]

Jen! There's so much in System of a Down's discography for you to discover. One of their trademark sounds is the incredible harmonies between Serj and Daron, and I think they absolutely perfected that in their two 2005 albums (Hypnotize & Mezmerize) Some songs I'd suggest from those albums are: "Question!" "Hypnotize" "Holy Mountains" and "BYOB"

[@JR_Writer]

This is the very Best band 🇨🇴🤘🏻 and"question" thanks

[@ovasov]

[@pravan7051]

im so glad for everone (especially professional vocalists), who listen to SOAD, Rammstein and the likes for the first time and share the reaction. always a big delight :D

[@wesleyrostoll7371]

Great song, I'd recommend Questions from them, it shows the band, and Serjs versatility, also some great harmonies in that one.

[@tonyzahn8911]

Serj and Daron (guitarist) both have great voices an even though this sing is all Serj, they duet beautifully on some songs. I highly recommend their song "Question!" for a great example.

[@nickterentyev]

Nice to watch yor new video! you have so much to discover of SOAD and Serj Tankian. Want to recommend Serj' performance of song Gate 21 live with orchestra, he is showing nice vocals there

[@TheWalterRobinson]

You need to hear more SOAD songs!!! You can be surprised in this way or even more in each of them.

[@brettlyons7809]

Love it! Have to check out Chop Suey and BYOB by this band as well.

[@nmnmnm9509]

Suggestion, holy mountain, dreaming, question... specially (Serj's solo) has many high end vocal and composing techniques.

[@LorisModenese]

IMHO the ending was clearly inspired by a song named "Il ballo di San Vito" by Vinicio Capossela. It's based on the rithim of "Pizzica", a very old sicily dance. It's a quite famous movie soundtrack : il 7 e l'8

[@alexfrancom922]

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

Rock bands don't typically have "great singers", they have intriguing singers who have a particular sound that FITS with the band and gives the music a particular signature.

"oop", love your reaction videos, keep up the great work Jen!

[@11thcenturycrusader31]

A band of the same era that's definitely worth a look. Disturbed - Stricken. The lead singer is a genius. Would be intresting to hear your take on it

[@ModernArtery]

When it comes to the ending, it is definitely a bit odd and jarring -- and that's emblematic of SOAD's music. They're all incredibly talented musicians and performers, but they are also very quirky and off-beat from time to time with their songwriting and performance, sometimes even to the point of being a little bit comical. It's definitely a style you don't hear too often from what would otherwise be considered a group of very "serious" musicians. At any rate, there is really no other artist like SOAD, and no other vocalist like Serj. I really enjoyed your reaction to this song and I highly recommend you check out more from them. Songs like Chop Suey, Aerials, and BYOB will be common recommendations, and they're very good, but I think Spiders is a great one to check out as well, especially if you want to hear more of the "beautiful" side of their music and vocals.

[@jamessewell5636]
