System of a Down - Blue

[@Albirdosaur]

A damn shame they never put this on one of their albums. Casual SoaDomites need to hear songs like this, Temper and Friik. I hope they decided to rerecord them all and release them as part of an oddities collection like they did with the Toxicity II demos.

[@PabloGuillarducci]

Serj made a version of this song in one of his solo albums (Same lyrics, but with new instrumentals), but SOAD's version it's 100% better :)

[@rhondafergerson5338]

+Albirdosaur storaged melodies- google it (:

[@gj4312]

Serj's solo album

[@SacredMilkOG]

Agreed, just another for that awfully smallish pile of gems.

[@rhapsodyinorange]

This is a bonus track on Elect the Dead! I had no idea that SOAD used to perform it... Finding things like this keeps me loving System even though they're on hiatus/broken up/whatever. :P

[@RG123]

My favorite off of the Storaged melodies album, because of the mood change from relaxing to heavy, the eerie introduction, the lyrics, the chorus, & the feeling you get when listening to this song.

[@Electrk]

Something's wrong, almost all of them have shirts on...

[@angelcastillo68]

i like this song!!

[@chechu1984]

Luving this song!😈

[@michelannvendettijr5705]

I think that my recently passed grandpa, may b thinking this same exact thing. Perfectly serj. Sharp. I love u.

[@trueiopian]

oh how i miss them so clearly the best band ever!

[@0Grimin7]

capnmorgan4, yeah, i saw them every weekend back then. sometimes friday and saturday night. it was awesome! you'll hafta check out the vids i have favorited of theirs now, i know more than a few will bring u right back to those days!

[@san21893]

actually John says if he smiles or shows emotion he loses beat, and its crazy how he can keep a straight face

[@potatoturtle3530]

drugs are not the only excuse for eccentricity. the confidence to do what u wish is not just the product of intoxication

[@Soul2SoiL]

THE BAND i love.evry single song

[@777v666]

This is awesome absolutely great wowage

[@ThePhyxius]

favorite song of system =D

[@EricJames28]

I watch this video at least 2 times a day =]

[@Donkula23]

This song is a bonus track on serjes album (Limited for those who don't know)

[@lordZzed]

I love this song so much. Really saddening yet not at all It's beautiful, it was about a week ago I realised that i had had it on a CD for about half a year. I had been trying to find it on various P2P servers for some time. REMEMBER KIDS, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CD'S BEFORE THE INTERNET. You never know what you'll find on burnt discs.

[@leopulga]

@jchilds2003 YES! they are ALL of their songs are soooooo goooood! I can't wait for them to get back together

[@MrChickenspit]

i cant believe that this is the only video or audio of system playing this song live.

[@johnnypt14]

i love the bass at the beginning

[@St9ler]

the best of soad

[@kope2kope]

such a good song

[@rigbchas]

yes it is on the elect the dead bonus album.. but an acoustic kinda funky version

[@subliminalstereo90]

yeah they opened up for Snot that night, Blue is another awesome unreleased SOAD song, they also played Starlit Eyes that night too which is another fucking awesome unreleased song, my fav right now

[@Outstryder]

yeah it is but on Serj's solo album "Elect The Dead" its a bonus song called "serj tankian"

[@SecretAgent009]

yea i just found out and was like :O i thought that song has been on youtube for a while??? haha at least we have this song haha

[@spunkylovechild]

@TheMegafunhouse that Legend of Zelda song isn't SOAD. I think the band's name is The Rabbit Joint.

[@despotica]

Not on any album, its an unreleased song. But you can find the studio version here on good 'ol KZbin. ;D

[@manousoad]

I ABSOLUTELY agree... But When are they coming back in action??

[@handmiadenofgod]

@ChristianLunkvist He actually did release his version on the bonus track version of Elect the Dead. It's much calmer and less disturbed.

[@NekoVio]

I love Serj's voice, just like everyone else, but I personally have no issues with Daron singing as well. I like when they both sing. I mean if they both play the role of 'lead singer' you get a hella-lotta more melodotic and harmonic possibilities than what you'd get with just one voice. System's the shitz both way and I love both new and old.

[@scissorsinabox]

serj was even more amazing and wild back then :)

[@diana.diamond]

beautiful sooong

[@henkgossebuwalda]

it's not on serj's solo album, this song is on storaged melodies, an unofficial released album(or something like that).

[@Minyt43]

@phatmanmj Its a demo tape that also has a bunch of other songs that didnt make it on the first album. :)

[@0Grimin7]

what venue was this performed at? brings back so many memories! was such a S.O.A.D. underground groupie! saw them around 17 times in 1998 in NC. always small venues just like this, they were great! loved them like this! yeah this was before all the hair!

[@kagezara]

omg, i think i have the exact same bass shavo is using in this vid, it appears to be a electric blue GIO ibanez. looks just like mine

[@MellowDramatic07]

actually, serj probably put it on the solo album, because he most likely wrote it. he wrote all the songs when they started out(their whole first album). but then daron started to write for them. so technically, it's serj's song.

[@Vlassseee]

Serj is NOT doing drugs, or he did, in the past, as well as Daron and Shavo :) But they are clean now, or atleast Serj.

[@alesyofado]

this song is very cool

[@sexydrummerdookie]

Bella serj..che fisicata!

[@farinurlaub]

I miss this Serj... he uses is whole voice...and doesn`t sing through his nose.But I`m glad he doesn`t take so much drugs anymore.

[@imaball]

would love to see soad in a venue like this :( but now the only way to see them is in a field of 60000mil people. they deserve it :P

[@systemofapawn]

best band

[@Magicride]

Wow! old System. kool. 5 stars for you.

[@UrzedoBT09]

My sky is not blue anymore, miss SOAD

[@Minyt43]

@phatmanmj oh but marmalade also made it onto the first album in japan,,,

[@mbtech2003]

OMFG, darron wheres the iceman??? lol never seen him with out one or now with the sg.

[@soldierside365]

@WildPenguinz789 yes it is. but obviously, it was written around this time ;)

[@tuckedinshirt]

i have a recorded (not live) version from a few years ago. Low quality but still pretty cool. I think they recorded this the same time the did Honey and Temper and a few other things

[@carlosfudencio]

serj played this music on his solo live album Elect the dead sympony (sorry for the bad english)

[@wyntonexisting]

If nobody else replied correcting you, there's one recording of it that was released, in fact you could probably just youtube it and listen.

[@Bartholomule01]

Serj has an acoustic version of Blue he re-recorded and put on a bonus version of Elect The Dead.

[@Burnzy494959]

fuck yea system are the shit and serj is such an awesome lyricist / poet / vocalist

[@Pats2001]

This is much better than the one from his solo -- kinda weird that he took it as his own and put it on his solo; anyone agree?

[@LD60]

Sad but true...I wonder why this song never made it on any album.

[@LD60]

this song might be a bonus track on Serj' s album, how cool is that?

[@BustaMonkey1234]

where can i steal this album? lol just kidding. but really where can i buy this album. cuz soad kick ass

[@trueiopian]

i fuckin love system of a down to day i die i hope they get back together :(

[@whess329]

Its on the bonus album that you get when you actually buy it, guess what its called Blue

[@Tragus026]

Serj Tankian put this on his bonus cd of his album Elect the Dead. His is more mellow though. still amazing

[@scissorsinabox]

you can see how serj improved his singing since this

[@vidgamaddecked]

@1996CKY thanks

[@theyellowjesters]

i never heard this song before. does anyone know what album it's from?

[@Locamaniaca]

SERJ IS AWESOME!

[@potgoddessx420x]

SOAD is the best band EVER

[@demnsda]

i know what you mean that feeling is on me the same with roulette and question

[@geronimo247]

fun show

[@PoGoX7]

They have some kick ass unreleased material, Honey is my favorite jam... PoGo...

[@Outstryder]

you had to buy the special edition one with the bonus disc. or you can download it for free =)

[@mkofiojdfb]

they are fuckin awsome..... SOAD for life

[@TheDarrellStinson]

@Seasung123 i know right?

[@totti10italia]

first time i see all of Serj arms. xD he never uses this kind of shirts. Its strange how 10 years ago SOAD wasnt a very famous band, they played at the wisky... and know they are a fucking great and unforgetable band.

[@thebigiron]

True, you have to admit though, if it weren't for lyrics and the songs being recorded later on in SOAD, it'd be near impossible to make out anything Serj says. Especially in the Untitled 1995 Demo.

[@thajmaj]

METAL TOWN 2011!

[@HanZarelli]

this is the only place i can find this song... did they ever record it?

[@13buthead]

this was like one of thei r first song or somthinh?

[@gretan50]

I'm really interesting.Does Serj remember that system played Blue at this concert????...Cause he sayd that he has never played that song live/ ///.. .

[@StephenLouisBitto]

@ChristianLunkvist It's just a softer version of this. Both kick ass.

[@systemofapawn]

800th rating 5 stars of course

[@krolls187]

after 2 minutes is the best part :P

[@keybslasher88]

this version's so much more badass than the serj-only version. =)

[@slipknot48880]

I fucking love this song

[@lindatrm207s]

so this was before like there first album (system of a down) came out right?

[@Hellbassist]

the old times of shavo

[@kimbob5]

or honey I loved that song

[@vegan4theanimals]

yeah...um bring back soad! PLEEEASE! no more breaking up this time

[@tuckedinshirt]

acoustic serj one?? tell me more

[@chike36]

very true

[@IANRINEARSON]

woahhh. Daron, with a Fender Strat.

[@karolinaMalakian]

blueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee que buena canciOn :D si lo mejOr de SOAD eeee.... Karolina Malakian.

[@Outstryder]

yes.

[@DrumKing667]

not sure they might wonder if they have accounts too that would be cool to be there friend

[@DefaultS1]

System of a Down was so much better back then, my favorite band is SOAD but i have to admit that they started sucking because Daron wanted to write songs and sing more and Serj just wasnt into it, they used to be so fucking good back then, completely into it, if you watch their newer live performances Serj just kinda mopes around on stage, but back then like i said they were great and really into their music, this show is the best live performance by them imo. That is my take, no flaming!

[@hackasam]

Daron wrote 80% of all SOAD's songs

[@Fir3guy13]

well serj always wears shirts, but i agree with you on the rest

[@igotthatsnowmayn]

wishhinn and wishhhin awaaay at yoou godddd

[@zacwashere2007]

yeah its great and easy to play to

[@SalsburyTorso]

at 2 ;16 is serj flipping off daron?

[@whess329]

This song is on Serj's solo album, that interesting
