The Entire History of System of a Down

[@ZombieRoca]

Great video! I really agree with you man. With all the fake fans complaining about his voice, it just ruins it for everyone. I wouldn’t record another album if everyone was trashing my voice too.

[@DarkPeter]

Yeah

[@daviesmp83]

History homework is complete. Edit: the homework was to research something of your interests. 😁

[@theamazing5047]

0:23 Holy shit Shavo had hair!

[@DarkPeter]

Lol it's a wig

[@spyrospets5813]

+The Amazing No, this is a wig. An ugly one, LOL. But Shavo really had a little bit of hair in 1995.

[@dries8200]

Well this, this is content.

[@Arma_kashi]

When you mentioned Daron at 1:24, gave me best laugh in a while. Thanku for such an informative video and appreciate your hardwork in such a small age.

[@DarkPeter]

Hahahahah I was laughing too when I heard that. And I'm glad for the apprecciation, I'm currently working on Closed Captions, so if you didn't understand something, you can rewatch it or just ask. Thank you very much :-) I'm really glad

[@DarkPeter]

It will take a while since the script has over 2000 words and I have to fit with the timings, but I can work with it :-)

[@Arma_kashi]

Not a native speaker like you, still had no trouble in comprehending the speech. Nice work there too. Also pict of young Serj was good one.

[@DarkPeter]

I am not a native speaker, like two years ago I couldn't even say a normal sentence.

[@comatox8782]

Very educational! Thank you, buddy!

[@comatox8782]

But does serj actually about people calling him out about his voice?

[@DarkPeter]

Does he what

[@undeadryder7969]

It wouldn’t be the same System of a Down with out Serj Tankian as the vocalist

[@DarkPeter]

Lost in Hollywood is SOAD enough

[@undeadryder7969]

DarkPeter and Lonley day

[@DarkPeter]

Yeah

[@WhatsAnothrDeath]

DarkPeter because it have serj voice in the background

[@KillingPeople]

we got scars f Broadway

[@krisgunn]

Nice work there Peter! Every time I hear or read soad's story I get excited and sad too. Anyway keep it up! You're very good

[@DarkPeter]

Hahahahah, thanks

[@tomasito7035]

I fucking love you

[@DarkPeter]

Thanks!!

[@12Arev]

A few corrections: -Daron’s Mom is Armenian not Iraqi-Iranian. -Steal this Album was leaked that is why it’s called “steal this album” not Toxicity. -Scars on Broadway officially released only one album not a few. Otherwise great job putting it all together, I really enjoyed it. Btw I currently live in the same city in LA as Daron and occasionally they’ll do small venues, which are unique to attend.

[@dimples9746]

Also, the first demo was actually made in 1995 and had “Pig” and “The Metro”. the quality is also 100 times worse

[@delalama5935]

This video has a lot of work behind, I can tell. Congrats for it, I really loved it and you should do more

[@someguy6838]

The "nasal noise" is a vocal strain that allows him to sing more comfortably and hit high notes perfectly, his voice is now trained like this. If he wanted to he you coach his voice back to the way it was (but a little different due to age) but that would take years.

[@tigon4206]

“Hit high notes perfectly” I wish

[@WilliamJayG2]

I mean his voice was allways kinda nasally, it's what makes him special

[@enricovergalito3987]

I just discovered so many things, AWESOME VIDEO

[@DarkPeter]

Thank you! And thank you for watching the entire video, for commenting, for liking the content, i love you!

[@P5YCHO1192]

Great video man, well done. I loved the MTV story. These guys really dont fuck around! I have been listening to soad for years and only now starting to want to know more about them. Thanks for the video!

[@fasolashow550]

No probs for the accent, I actually like it

[@achilliesmyl.2321]

That editing though.......wow We love you Peter

[@kaylasharp1724]

Beautiful compilation my friend, 🌻 Incredibly thankful for you and this piece.

[@jonathanf566]

ive been waiting for a video like this for a while thanks so much peter!

[@DarkPeter]

I thought about it for a longer time but I had no idea how to do it, or was just afraid, now was the right time Thanks

[@jonathanf566]

DarkPeter no problem, you dont need to be afraid to make vids bc all of them turn out to be awesome! i actually like the informal videos a lot btw

[@DarkPeter]

jonathanlol hahahah

[@georgiopialfa8655]

Nice research and very interesting facts. Great Job!

[@CarmenBelcher]

Your accent is adorable! I bought a tshirt of theirs on the worst day of my life and it’s actually brought me good luck. Decided to learn about the band finally and here I am

[@laurentb.3867]

It was cute to see you struggle with the word "decisions". Most KZbinrs would have edited this out but your video's imperfections are actually what makes it authentic and enjoyable. Thanks for your work. Got to it, unfortunately, because of Anthony Bourdain's death and his friendship with Serj.

[@bigal4200]

SOTD is my favorite band and your video helped me learn more about them, good stuff man!

[@DarkPeter]

lol i made this when i was like 14

[@ghoul1102]

You deserve more subs for the amount of work you put into this. Nice dedication to one if my favorite bands 👍

[@melaniemikkelsen3937]

Chlape ďakujem za toto video, že si si dal tú námahu a všetko pozisťoval, pripravil, dal dokopy. System milujem a veľmi ma potešilo že niečo takéto spravil rodák zo Slovenska :)

[@DarkPeter]

Hahahaha pekný komentár, ďakujem pekne Veľa vecí už vieš z komentárov pod videami ale treba to dať do jedného videa haha

[@gargaru14]

Thank you for this beautiful work, this is amazing stuff you put together! I will always love this band no matter what

[@michaeljoseph1400]

Hey man, awesome video, thank you. I know a lot of their old demo stuff but it was cool to get some history behind it. I went to a concert in toronto in 2015 and their roadie from family guy told us they were recording the concert live for a cd....never heard anything after that....

[@inferno12O9]

Awesome vid

[@mashiro-l6s]

awesome as always!

[@KuziemekK]

11:58 how non-metalheads hear metal

[@DarkPeter]

Kuziemek hahahahaahhh awesome

[@TGWaddler]

Haha yeah

[@ethansprague2005]

Kuziemek that was great

[@kyleserj4127]

Well explained bro! I hope the members of system of a down see this video :D

[@DarkPeter]

Ehh I don't think they'll do

[@kyleserj4127]

I think they'll see it. Btw heard about the Serj Tankian latest interview about the "Screw vocals" story and what's new for system of a down?

[@kyleserj4127]

DarkPeter Serj Tankian said that the "Screw Vocals, im tired of it." Was not true.

[@atvena]

I hope not he said Daron is the bassist lol

[@momopoly2444]

Very well made video, good job! I'm subscribing and can't wait for more content like this, keep it up!

[@ameersbeih6777]

Im pretty sure that Shavo and Daron never actually switched places. I think Daron just said that in an interview to be sarcastic... But Im not sure. Ive just NEVER heard that

[@DarkPeter]

Several sources say it, even Wiki though

[@FourTHat3]

"Superman told me"

[@odin_th_red_heeler]

Outstanding work. I appreciate it. Thank you

[@UndisputedUFC]

Your accents fine bro. Good videos, keep the coming

[@warrior4life47]

I love your accent keep up the good work man

[@spyrospets5813]

Man, awesome shit! How proud am I for being a huge fan of them. I agree that Serj is a talented and original musician, we all know that. But, he really dislikes being in the band nowadays.

[@DarkPeter]

Yeah

[@cdcb5918]

Excellent video

[@sofia.morenska]

Nice video!

[@antonionegretcubillos3812]

[@albertartsakh8416]

Best video ever !

[@DarkPeter]

Thaaaaaanks

[@StefanDan85]

Have you seen the guys from rammstein at 5:01?

[@DarkPeter]

[@zahrakh.d1400]

Thank you sir

[@calebkeegan4434]

I love this band and Deftones my fav so badass ....as a singer/song writer they inspire me a great deal!!

[@cattisx]

Awesome video 👍👍👍thanks!

[@jusbamathy1355]

Thanks for the info!

[@maceotortalita828]

What is the background music at 10:40?

[@tsky5847]

Does anyone know the song at 11:58 or where to find it?

[@kareefie4265]

What's the song being played in the background?

[@Dav_g435]

Just out of curiosity, where in Eastern Europe do you live?

[@DarkPeter]

Right on the border between Slovakia and Hungary, very close to Ukraine hahahah

[@kristofimre2631]

Nice vid :)

[@JoeLewis14]

Good video, homie. Don't be sorry for your accent. My dumbass only speaks one language. Nice work.

[@DarkPeter]

I speak 5 languages lol

[@JoeLewis14]

DarkPeter I barely speak one.

[@beastmerc84]

This was good.

[@extremenonce2738]

I love how they fucked up MTV lmao

[@DarkPeter]

Yeah hahahah

[@frozenflames8704]

just incase, check your recording devices, go to properties, go to advanced and see if your mic is at the highest quality. idk why but some mics i've used weren't on the highest quality by default. great video! i've never known most of these things about them

[@DarkPeter]

My laptop is not registering microphones so I recorded this with my mobile phone microphone but thank you ^^

[@frozenflames8704]

Oh okay and of course!

[@leonel5908]

Such a nice video dude! You should do it with Metallica or A7x! Subscribed ;)

[@mrs.noname3100]

Nice and interesting video! Where are you from Peter ?I can understand everything and I'm not english speaking.

[@atvena]

This band doesn't get enough acknowledgement for bringing alternative metal to the mainstream.

[@Fat3Distr0]

R.I.P. a new System of a Down album

[@kyleserj4127]

I hope serj brings back his long hair and i would like to see shavo having a long hair. I would like to see them all with long hair :D

[@maclod2361]

Kyle Serj Legend has it that Shavo has been bald since birth.

[@metropsiderss]

Very nice. I like.

[@Skeletor4753]

You got a lot of the early stuff wrong. Daron Serj and John made up Soil. Shavo had been doing some recording work in the studio and prior to that Shavo had only played guitar. When he joined the band he started to play bass due to the fact they needed a bass player.

[@emiliosmanoli1976]

I don't get why people are hating on serj voice.If you really love soad you will love them no matter what.

[@kaydgaming]

Nice job

[@RageAgainstRustyCage]

Very cool background stuff. I hated this horrible music, until I saw them put on the most amazing show in 2002, & I was blown away in Appreciation. How little I knew about them, until the great Armenian Concert I found on KZbin. I highly recommend that show.

[@aggelbeatboxer]

It looks like you had a hard time recording this cause I think you're not an English speaker. Well done for not giving up on recording and making it into something awesome!

[@Kai.is.broken]

i love it

[@julienouellette1920]

Shavo Odajian as the guitar player and Daron Malakian as the bass player ...wtf man XD

[@luismurillo9610]

Lmao this is fucking great man !

[@travisfontenot9462]

I saw them at all the Ozzfest in Texas and they were awesome, on their first album 98 99 2000 2001 and they always gave all they had dude it was awesome

[@alexanderlagomarcino5878]

Awesome

[@thedreadedsaltpacket6210]

12:13 is that a fucking inhale growl?

[@thedreadedsaltpacket6210]

i think it's a montage of modified serj vocals.

[@thedreadedsaltpacket6210]

i think that's "die" from suite pee.

[@DarkPeter]

Yes it is a growl

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

Really like that chill music in the background. What's it called as I would really like to search it up?

[@DarkPeter]

I don't really remember, once I get to use my computer Ill tell you

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

+DarkPeter Thanks dude, really loved this video on the history of SOAD. Hopefully, we can get some more on maybe Scars of Broadway or even the individual members of the band.

[@simonkuzmin87]

Here dude sounds like u have a stutter which is only noticeable as I stutter,thumbs up anyway good job very informative!

[@DarkPeter]

What does a stutter mean?

[@blackedout5956]

3:14 Whiskey a Go Go

[@DarkPeter]

Bruno Lol not their first show

[@blackedout5956]

DarkPeter oh sorry

[@ald0c]

what about the 1995 untitled demo tape before demo tape 1?

[@phatreece7679]

You got Shavo and Daron mixed up. Shavo is the bass player and daron is the guitarist

[@DarkPeter]

Hahahahah it's okay

[@hosschapple3194]

[@DarkPeter]

I don't speak spanish sorry

[@kidrob963]

Si

[@isniffcheesestix]

2:33 Jesus this is nightmare fuel

[@imahoestopper]

You totally forgot about scars on broadway. Darons band!!!

[@zerofret4207]

I saw them live in the early 2000's 4 different times. To me, watching them perform, it was clear that Darin was the front man. He always dictated the set list and led the entire band.

[@atvena]

Yeah he's clearly the most charismatic.
