System Of A Down - Question! (Pianist reacts to metalhead friend’s suggestion)

[@luigilogan1]

you guys are a dynamic duo, i think we need Richard to react to some of Judsons favorite music, could be pretty entertaining!?

[@Greatmeasures]

I’m waiting on Judson to find what he wants me to hear. It’s just a matter of time.

[@TSE_WOODY]

@@Greatmeasuresgotta try something off that Beck album!

[@Jtransam79]

Question! Has always been one of my favorites from SOAD. Such a unique and interesting song out of one of the more interesting and unique bands.

[@ShounenN]

These videos are truly a place for my soul to rest and just enjoy some good old music and entertaining commentary. A very relaxing fix.

[@Greatmeasures]

Thank you!

[@juanpabloluengasrestrepo9152]

One of my favorito S.O.A.D songs, glad that someone did a reaction

[@Pedro-wj9pl]

After listening to your Q&A and having been through a couple of tough years myself, I find your videos really encouraging. Also, SOAD is amazing!!!

[@Greatmeasures]

One day at a time. It gets better.

[@Pedro-wj9pl]

@@Greatmeasuresit really does and it’s so worth it. One year already! ❤

[@Greatmeasures]

@@Pedro-wj9pl congratulations!

[@syntezjaofficial4240]

My metal journey started with SOAD, their mix of so many genres like even black metal or prog rock is amazing. After 10 years listening to them I apprieciate Mezmerize more than anything else. Judson should definitely listen Lost in Hollywood or Radio/Video. I love also Daron and Serj harmonies on this album.

[@rahbeat9785]

7:15 that part is so hauntingly Elevating to me even after all these years.. and the little Snare fill at 7:24 is Life

[@blop-a-blop9419]

[@jamesgreer9366]

This song and deer dance, outside of their first album! My favorites from them!!! There are a few close seconds.... But those two!! Awesome!!

[@DonaldPrizwan]

there are a couple of songs by SOAD where you can ALWAYS tell when the musician is sitting there trying to figure out what the hell is going on with the time signature. this one is... chefs kiss perfect.

[@yammerrryeet511]

Easily my favorite song off this album. The lyrics and time signature changes are impeccable

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Good to see Richard's visual input

[@JayPhonomancer]

I really like yalls intros and Judsons music and Richards relaxed look while he listens. No dumb chants or coordinated yelling to introduce your channel.

[@Greatmeasures]

We appreciate those words! Thanks for hanging out with us

[@milkit6607]

Question, Richard

[@sjorsvandongen3464]

Would love to see you guys listen to Spiders from their self titled album from 1998. If you want to stay with this Mezmerize/Hypnotize: Soldier Side needs to be adressed (both songs)

[@sjorsvandongen3464]

There is just too much that can be known and discussed about these cool, politically engaged Armenians

great song, I totally forgot about this one. of course Richard wears his TBDM hoodie when he mentions the patreon requests 😩 now I'ma have to get on there to request songs like "I'm Charming" or "Everything Went Black" 🤠

[@Greatmeasures]

I want to show him ALL of TBDM. 😂

[@mrch6200]

@@Greatmeasures i'm here for it 😁

[@musicneverd_es]

Love your reactions and the songs you choose! I would be eternally grateful if you picked a song from Burst in the future. Their last album Lazarus Bird from 2008 is a true masterpiece - would recommend "I exterminate the I" or "(We watched) the silver rain". They were always criminally underrated and not well known, it's a true hidden gem for progressive metal enthusiasts.

[@gegart01]

U both are great in different ways but in one way too - great personalities

[@toiddiot1629]

[@bumblefluff79]

Love a bit of System. Saw them at a festival many years ago when you could legally buy magic mushrooms, but remember very little other than they had a very colourful set.

[@Greatmeasures]

😂😂 I would venture to say that probably a “magical” set.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Meanwhile the set had no lights or anything lmfao

[@vibin_psilocybin]

Dude this shit is so good. I was so into the intro song, like meditating I forgot what I was doing and was like just thinking.... Lol. I am high right now. Judson is hilarious

[@dm1763]

Green day at the start!?? Took a second but dang that was nice! lol

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Feels to me like it's about irrational 18th and 19th century fears about new technologies at the time. People worried that electricity would steal your soul or burn the atmosphere, or that flying in a plane would kill you etc.

I often relate System of a Down to Queen in how they impacted their era of music.

[@larrydj549]

Havent heard that song in a while. Crazy time. After 9/11. So much emotion. I contemplated not long after the attacks what would happen to music. It looks like people got a lot less adventurous

[@jorgecarneiro819]

Good video... SOD it's top... The vocals have in very musics a lalala... clear... But I waiting for your reaction to another band... A band that century break the limit prog music... The Mars Volta.

[@punky1534]

Thanks fellas, great vid

[@tiges1972]

I love 5he composition of this one!

[@IROCZSPEED]

Omg he hasn't finished his intro piano yet and I know this will be great! Such an overlooked SOAD track. You should show him Berlin's "Metro" followed by SOAD's cover. It's tasty.

[@Greatmeasures]

Love this idea

[@sadeghjafarnia67]

can we get a reaction to "Bullet for my valentine - Tears don't fall" please:) acoustic version is dope af

[@SkateQrew]

Cool! SOAD, whenever I hear them, I always hear , The Dead Kennedys, and Megadeth/Metallica, cross breed, plus Armenian heritage ! Don’t shoot me, my interpretation!

[@Jizvarn]

I have to say...as soon as the song was done playing, I was dozing off,

[@stonerjoe21]

Not sure if either of you have heard of Dir en Grey but check them out! Venushka or Diablos! Two amazing epics!

[@skullium]

Hey Richard, I forget how I initially discovered this track, but we have basically the same taste in music and I think you would really like this track.. Its only found on bandcamp and really no info on the band. Song is: le' dernier cri (pt. 1) by Ivan. Give it a spin

[@Greatmeasures]

Wow! I just finished listening to it. I’m going to have to find out more about them. It’s like a technical/progressive version of Emery. Such a cool song. Thank you so much!

[@jaymouton9165]

When it comes to songs like this.. I sometimes wish you'ld do the music video as well.. cause it's an awesome little fairy tale.. and yeah.. SOAD has some "£%$-up music vidoes.. referring to "Spiders" now..

[@ito12347]

Someone should’ve warned him about the distorted guitars that jump in on the intro

[@alyssahudson1743]

Another great video I love system of the down such a fun band to listen to you said you're only taking requests from patreon I'll throw some at you one more time on KZbin I think you... might enjoy heaver Stuff that's why I suggested one of my top three bands Testament and one of my favorite bands not so heavy but incredibly musically talented guitar, piano, singing savatage think about it

[@jonnenne]

I think Judson would appreciate Brain Dance by Animals as Leaders. He might not like it but it is very different

[@Greatmeasures]

I agree. I showed him Ego Death from Polyphia yesterday and he loved it. I know it’s not the same thing but it makes me think he would love The Brain Dance.

[@jocelynfroles]

it's intersting when you guys react to black metal

[@Luemm3l]

sometimes it is hard to divide death and black metal out, they share a lot of similar musical concepts. lots of minor scales, high shrieking, often times shitty production (not always), tremolo lingering on single notes, blast beats? probably black metal. more guttural vocals, more bass heavy low end, also "fatter" on the production site, but still very fast, often also tremolo picked and blast beats do feature, but more of a discernible groove and rhythmic variety? probably death metal. say a band like Emperor or Darkthrone and compare them to a band like Cannibal Corpse or Death and then tell me in what parts thez are similar and in what parts different. then re-engineer that to what you think is Death or Black Metal (without looking it up before). that would be my kind of suggestion. I am also oblivious as to what era or style a piece of classical music would be. Is it a Rondo, a sonata, does this come from the baroque era or more of a romanticism piece? without looking that up I would probably also be clueless.

[@Greatmeasures]

When he asked me that question, I thought “I can tell the difference when I hear it but putting it into words on the spot seems impossible”. This is better than I ever could have explained it. Thank you.
