There are two rules (that I know of) in the mosh pit: 1. You get rough and rowdy, but you do NOT fight. 2. If someone falls, you stop what you're doing and get them on their feet.
@@Atrenu Yeah once at my last metallica concert i was 19 and some chick next to me got grabbed on the boobs by some stranger and i shoved him on the ground and 3 other people that seen it started kicking him in the legs and sides LOL.
@Adz Nevermind Just google "Terry Bozzio" and you'll see why he is laughing at everyone's kit... Including Danny Carey, and everyone from the the last 50 years... 26 toms 2 snares, 8 bass drums, 53 cymbals (incl. ride gong), 22 pedals (incl: 5 working hi-hats, wood djembe, foot cymbal, jingle stick, rik, wood tamb, foot tom, 2 metal things, foot gong). xylo, glock, chromatic gongs, big gong, 2 electronic drums, misc. percussion
I was fortunate enough to see SOAD at Ozzfest a million years ago. They were SO good that I cried...the energy was crazy. 20,000 people were on their feet & singing along with fists in the air. Absolutely beautiful.
Frrrr moshpits are like nice riots. Everyones crazy crazy until someone falls down and then everyones out helping making sure everyone gets their chance to mosh
even nicer to the females that hop in. if one of them falls they get IMMEDIATE help, and if one of them gets hit, there's an absolute shitshow on the dude who did it
System of a Down are from my hometown LA, they're Armenian-Americans from Glendale, but I'm half-Persian and have always related to and loved them. Toxicity is a landmark record and I'm proud how they use their platform and clout to speak up for Palestinians and Armenians across the planet. They are true rock stars who give no fucks but the music and their message.
La OTAN es el peor cáncer del mundo. Para ellos todos son enemigos y representan un riesgo para la seguridad del pueblo "Americano" o Británico incluyendo a los judíos. Los árabes están artos de la guerra eso hasta Arabia Saudita lo padece.
Dale Howey the interpolation of traditional middle eastern scales with western rock structure is a sound that no mainstream artist has pulled off since them
I was at a show on the queen mary and saw a girl who couldn't have been more than 5ft tall get knocked by a dude twice her size and get back up screaming like a banshee before jumping back into the pit. One of the best mosh pit moments I've ever witnessed.
I really feel like I just witnessed you falling in love with this band. The euphoria on your face from 4:40!! Man, EXACTLY how I felt when I first discovered SOAD. Thanks for bringing that feeling back.
@@teensinthekitchenandmore3136 why Serj is a big advocate for teaching about the Armenian genocide + why he lives in New Zealand. Good interview if you can find it.
@@Jane-ow7sr it's a common thing, at least in black/AA culture. It's almost always good and very different than a regular disgusted look. At least that's been my experience.
It is awesome when I see an artist from a completely different genre of music appreciate something completely different. I love that you appreciate the art form of music in general, not just a closed in view of what you put on your daily playlist. Keep doing what your doing man.
That's how SOAD is. They're Armenians who went to the same Armenian school in California. But I do know the singer, Serj grew up there as a kid up until 7, I think. He remembers bombs dropping and the death. Their music, as weird as it gets, also talks about the shit that went on and how Turkey still denies the genocide against theirs people.
@@mikimouse8985 if you think toxicity is their best album then bro I'm sure as hell you haven't listened to anything past chop suey, aerials or toxicity, and I'm sure you'll get defensive if I say there are better songs on better albums, toxicity isnt shit and I listen to it every day but it's not as good as self titled or mesmerize man
"someone's getting punched" - that's the thing about music like this, you can't even imagine the goodwill in a moshpit sometimes. I can say of every live show I've ever been to, the ones with a moshpit always felt safest in terms of people looking out for and after each other.
yeah , metal is known for his good people and ambiance, from all concert and festival i've assisted , metal concert/festival was always the funnyest with the nicest people i've ever meet ( with celtic festival too )
He wasn't saying it in a negative way guys. I get what he was meaning. He was saying the energy would cause him to swing. And I fucking get it. SOAD makes me want to explode sometimes😉
Always think that the reason that rockers and metalheads are so laid back (besides the dope) is because the aggression is taken out in a socially acceptable way, the mosh pit and the dancing. Its raw energy.
100 percent. youd think peopel would just get straight up trampled but nope someone falls everyone makes room and picks you up. saw a dude at a show who was handicapped, some guys in the crowd lifted his wheelchair up in the middle of the room and held him up for a whole song so he could jam out and see the band, they were strangers. The camaraderie is unmatched in the metal scene
As soon as he said "turn em up a little bit.." I knew he was in for a treat lol and yes! i totally agree with the last part should've been extended even more
This reaction is everything. I feel like so many people just write off SOAD from the get go because they're different, when that's what makes them a great band. It's nice to see someone just vibe to and appreciate the music for what it is instead of nitpicking it for what it isn't, or is too much of... if that makes any sense 😂😂
this song is great on a lot of levels man don't ever feel bad for enjoying music I'm not even a SOAD fan but they have a LOT of interesting stuff and this guys reaction is pretty much what everyone should feel, and THAT IS THE POINT! FUCK YEHA
"art is actually expressing yourself" I totally agree. I never liked metal but I always loved SOAD Idk why, not all of their songs ofc but they really are amazing and their songs are always so meaningful, great reaction as always 👍
Which one tho? The into song on Mezmerize or the outro on Hypnotize? Both are fire tbh, but for me the intro Soldier Side on Mezmerize takes the cake. The clean tone on the guitar with both Serj and Daron singing gives me chills to this day.
have seen them live twice and had goosebumps shivers and a tear all at the same time man. They are soooo good on stage. The energy of the room was CRAAAZY
That part at the end is called a breakdown, and it's the greatest part in every metal song. The hardcore/deathcore scene is all build ups and breakdowns and it's great. This is just Hard Rock from the early 2000's.
SOAD concerts are the best. Saw them on tour at 2018. When they played the Prison Song. Everyone went craaaazy. It was like a wave of people pushing each other. I could see from a distance 3 groups started a literal firepit and moshed around it.
I second this. I've been requesting this for a while. The music video is powerful af if you're familiar with our war in the middle east. Personally one of my favorites.

I honestly have been watching a lot of your videos because i like watching you react to bands that i love... And im all up the rock genre, and i have many other interests in music beyond rock... Its great to see someone honestly react and enjoy it just like many of us. I am looking forward to discovering new music as well on your channel, ive found that its a great source for music... Not only that but its also a good small talk about the song itself.
I love System of a Down. A high energy band. I loved that they brought musical elements from their Serbian heritage and melded it with metal. It is unique and has an awesome sound.
The drums are called, as a set, is Trap Set. Dude...I laughed my ass off for the beginning..."let's turn them up..." Haha couldn't be more perfect timing
Edwin Gaxiola metal & rap have so many collaborations over the years. So many Rappers love metal bands & so many metal bands love Rap, the stereotypical “They don’t mix” is sad cuz there are so many similarities & artistic substance with both genres, especially when together.
Man no lie, I love seeing you vibe out to my favorite rock music that I listened to in Highschool and still love. It's amazing to see people discover and love new music.
SOAD music is so much more that just how shocking the music can be. There is always a message, and they are just so much frigging fun to watch! Unbound energy without limits. Your reaction really caught this fact! Great reaction.
I went to their show a few years ago and he had to stop a song midway through because the mosh pit was SO crazy, someone was getting trampled and almost died... They rock soooo hard but I'm even more impressed by his compassion to take care of his fans!
@@billfenton7147 Yeah, he's not a world renowned opera singer, but he was trained professionally by one, hence why he has the ability to actually sing and not just scream haha
SoaD is one of my favorite bands- happy to see you enjoying them! Goosebumps everywhere listening to Serge sing.❤ "What- do you own the world?How can you own disorder??Disorder..." ❤️ THIS !!! love your commentary!
It is really great to see someone appreciate SOAD for the first time. Especially after I've grown up with them since middle school. Its been such a shame that they broke up and haven't been able to put out anything since Hypotize. We got a couple songs recently but that was only because they could finally (briefly) get over their egos to raise awareness for the Armenians again. One thing that sucks about getting old is realizing your favorite artists are never going to put out another album.
As a SOAD fan since I was like 6, it’s weird to see new people finding them and liking them lmao even though they are a huge band with a massive fan base, very popular, I feel like most people I know don’t love their sound lmfao you should check out Question, even a lot of people who don’t like SOAD love that shit

me: oh u gunna regret that right away... being your first time lol
Aj as soon as he said that I was like “don’t do that bruh”
Lol this was 100% my reaction when he said that.
The thing is, he'd listened to Chop Suey and BYOB and said the same thing and got scared each time. It's so funny.
He does the exact same thing every video I've watched lol

its 90's dude...
This makes me so happy. This is my high school playlist.
At least an 18-piece drum set. On this one they changed the intensity of the music and the metric. The 4/4 to 3/4 back and forth is so pleasing.
I could watch this dude react to breakdowns for eternity.
Yeaaaah, firee. Listen to Tenacious D - Tribute
Alan Mendes Yes this would be amazing
Dude these two songs are next to each other on my playlist😂
Bruh, I literally just re-watched the movie few hours ago lmao
Upvote this pls
I just laughed when he said “somebody getting punched” because if you’ve ever seen them live it’s one of the most intense shows ever
Your are amazing.
Not many know how to appreciate real, good, free, full of soul music..
Lots of love!!
I honestly have been watching a lot of your videos because i like watching you react to bands that i love... And im all up the rock genre, and i have many other interests in music beyond rock... Its great to see someone honestly react and enjoy it just like many of us. I am looking forward to discovering new music as well on your channel, ive found that its a great source for music... Not only that but its also a good small talk about the song itself.
I love System of a Down. A high energy band. I loved that they brought musical elements from their Serbian heritage and melded it with metal. It is unique and has an awesome sound.
Pretty sure they’re Armenian
Yeah they haven't serbian heritage, they have armenian heritage
System was actually the first concert I attended and it was INSANE!!!
people who bridge cultures are doing THE WORK we need
The drums are called, as a set, is Trap Set. Dude...I laughed my ass off for the beginning..."let's turn them up..." Haha couldn't be more perfect timing
Finally, we need more SOAD
Yo you need to review( killswitch engage )song- my curse
Austin Hinckley agreed, one of the best songs out there
dont react to the edited one its definitely not the same and its no where near as good as the original
I also really love this song
BUT PLEASE!!! THE STUDIO VERSION!
I agree about the snipet at the end... damn snipets. I guess - if we are left wanting more, it speaks to us. Art: accomplished.
The singer has a song with tech n9ne, Tech N9ne - Straight Out The Gate (Feat. Serj Tankian)
Hell ya man he needs to see that song asap 🔥🔥🔥
Also a cover with Wu Tang Clan - Shame
Damn, that's sick af. I didn't know he expanded beyond just rock
Edwin Gaxiola metal & rap have so many collaborations over the years. So many Rappers love metal bands & so many metal bands love Rap, the stereotypical “They don’t mix” is sad cuz there are so many similarities & artistic substance with both genres, especially when together.
I saw them in 2011 and 2019. ESPECIALLY in 2011 when this played the pit just exploded. It was insane.
Jacob Porto bro the band is broke up you can’t see them in 2019 lmao
@@Patcherr77 yes you can they aren't broken up although they haven't released an album since 2005, they've toured quite a bit since 2011
I love that he loves this song. He looked so happy.
Man no lie, I love seeing you vibe out to my favorite rock music that I listened to in Highschool and still love. It's amazing to see people discover and love new music.
“The Vengeful One” -Disturbed
Disturbed is really good
SOAD music is so much more that just how shocking the music can be. There is always a message, and they are just so much frigging fun to watch! Unbound energy without limits. Your reaction really caught this fact! Great reaction.
Tool - Ænima you’ll love anything by Tool, honestly.
I think 46 & 2 would be the perfect intro song for him
I love the energy of this music video!
Great DOP!
Did a great job matching the energy of the song!
Loved the reaction bro!
I went to their show a few years ago and he had to stop a song midway through because the mosh pit was SO crazy, someone was getting trampled and almost died... They rock soooo hard but I'm even more impressed by his compassion to take care of his fans!
A day to remember: Mr. Highways thinking about the end. The breakdown is iconic for metalcore!
*DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS!*
@@DevilishSilver when they followed that with 2nd Sucks I almost came in my pants lmao it was such a smooth transition live but such craziness
I love that song
Serj tankian is a world renowned opera singer so when it comes to this music hes a beast
jordanlibke nope. Well he has a very impressive octave range, he has never been or has ever been considered an opera singer.
@@billfenton7147 Yeah, he's not a world renowned opera singer, but he was trained professionally by one, hence why he has the ability to actually sing and not just scream haha
SoaD is one of my favorite bands- happy to see you enjoying them! Goosebumps everywhere listening to Serge sing.❤
"What- do you own the world?How can you own disorder??Disorder..." ❤️ THIS !!! love your commentary!
It is really great to see someone appreciate SOAD for the first time. Especially after I've grown up with them since middle school. Its been such a shame that they broke up and haven't been able to put out anything since Hypotize. We got a couple songs recently but that was only because they could finally (briefly) get over their egos to raise awareness for the Armenians again. One thing that sucks about getting old is realizing your favorite artists are never going to put out another album.
Serj is the best hard rock singer! All his song are soooo cool!
Need to react to System of a Down Wake up
Chop suey! But yes, that song is amazing.
He is good but that title goes to Axl Rose
@@rubenhughes3155 Yeah true.. But when he do his own style it's amazing
“Can you imagine going to one of their shows? Someone’s gettin punched” 🤣🤣🤣 love it
Then he sees a video of a floggin molly moshpit
I've seen them live in concert. Many times. Amazing concerts . People look after each other.
It would make my day to see you react to either of these joints!!
Gojira - The Art of Dying
Gojira - The Heaviest Matter in the Universe
As a SOAD fan since I was like 6, it’s weird to see new people finding them and liking them lmao even though they are a huge band with a massive fan base, very popular, I feel like most people I know don’t love their sound lmfao you should check out Question, even a lot of people who don’t like SOAD love that shit
Please react to literally anything by Starset. “My Demons”, “Ricochet”, “Manifest”, “Diving Bell” and “Halo” are all good suggestions.
Unbecoming and Monster are pretty good also
LOVE THIS REACTION!! man these guys hit me hard recently and I knew about them when they came out years ago. I had to wait this long to understand them!
