I saw some people in the comments saying that Serj's voice wasn't so good in this presentation, either I'm crazy or I don't know, to me he sounds perfect here, it passes all the emotional energy that this song has, hitting the high notes...
I see many people criticizing Serj's vocals or saying that he was sick in this concert, but this was the perfomance that made me fall in love with this song, feels so heartfelt and so haunting in the beggining specially.
Serj seems to be always less implicated emotionally on stage than in a recording studio. SOAD performs at its best in a studio. You can t blame him, that s the way he was.
I mean who's to blame Serj if he was a little sick, you can literally see his breath. It was definitely cold so I'd understand if he was a little under the weather lmao. So they might be right. I think he sounds fine though!!
I love this band more than anything. So underrated. I love them. I am a Muslim lady and I never listen to rock much but will never stop being moved and chilled by their music.
I wrote an essay for a college course about the ways different regions and cultures respond to metal music. A lot of studies show a lot of Muslims are rather tolerant and respectful of heavy metal. One Muslim even compared moshing to a form of prayer. Such an interesting and beautiful culture and religion. Thank you for sharing.
I was going to write a political statement, then decided to write a musical opinion, but then I just went with a HOLY SHIT SERJ IS SO CUTE IN THAT SWEATER. It may not be the most intellectually profound statement, but it's the truest to my real feelings...
+Katie Frank I laughed so hard when I read your comment because I thought the same thing. Everyone always talks about the politics and stuff, and here I am thinking 'aww, Serj looks cute in that sweater'.
Its ashame this show is so overlooked when people talk about the greatest live performances ever ... Just the shear emotional presence due to its context is overwhelmingly powerful
My favorite system songs- 1. Question 2. Soldier side 3. Holy mountains 4. Tentative 5. Their entire first album 6. Shimmy 7. Kill rock n roll 8. Toxicity 9. Mr. Jack 10. Everything else
Wow, every time I hear this it hits something inside me... Can’t resist to sing “Freedom” and really feel that interpretation. It’s just an amazing song with deep and creepy lyrics and cry out of resistance.
Its the sound and mixing in this part show....and this show happened long before Serj's voice change. He could still hit high notes and scream then....he can't now.
they thought nobody saw what they did in the holy mountain, they thought no one heard what they have done at the holy mountain, and once again they thought no other one smells what they did on the holy mountain, but the stars above our head saw the tears of the victims and the trees surround them heard the scream and the shout of the innocents and also the wind blow smells the fear of the abandoned stick at the wooden cross with wound and pain until the fugitives taste their tears of blazing fire, scream and shout of angry souls and abandoned rotten flesh with curse and spells
That's because drummers sweat a shit ton more. You have to think your body's going to be staying warmer with all that rapid movement that comes with beating the shit out of the drums.
I will be playing this on my way to the Rally for Justice today 04/24. I am one quarter Armenian and three quarters black and as such, I am the product of genocide, suffering, slavery, rape, and murder on both sides. Most Armenians do not recognize me as being "pure" enough to be one of their own, but regardless I will be there today shouting for my great-great grandparents and thanking them for their bravery and sacrifice.
The difference between you and them is that their suffering was a lot more recent. Serj remembers hearing bombs dropping in school before moving to the States to give you a point of reference.
Persephone Hades And I remember being disowned my most of my Armenian family because I am black, I remember being followed around stores because I am black. I have been told by a friend to not greet her in public because she wasn't supposed to have black friends. Don't assume. We still suffer here.
SleighJessi Yeah, but Armenians' suffering 50 years ago is like African Americans' suffering from 150 years ago, suffering being a noun and being very specific in what happened to them. It also didn't help they were lumped in with all of the Middle Easterns after 9/11, making them experience your kind of suffering now. Now, I must've skipped over the part in your comment where you said that you were part Armenian because I genuinely didn't know and just read that part, so I'm sorry for that.
Исполнение на высшем уровне! Каждый из участников выложился на полную. Ещё хотелось бы подчеркнуть что очень не хватает этой группы сейчас. Очень жаль что они распались, но треки их останутся и будут ещё долго звучать!
Throughout this entire song, you can tell Johns drumming has improved a ton! From when he was screwin up in Reading, germany during psycho, to nailing everything in this song, i say Great job John!!! :D cant wait for the 2011 tour to starrt!
I loved Daron's Iceman Signatures, but I will admit the Gibson SG sounds cleaner live. Daron And Shavo both have signature models from Gibson now, and they both are able to reach heavy tones while maintain a clean sound.
Serj kinda said heal instead of feel at 1:59 😂😂 when your lyrics are so legendary that you yourself sing em wrong....but what can i say a wonderful performance by SOAD
Was listening to this song on repeat ALL DAY! IDGAF what anyone says, this song is a masterpiece. One of my favorite off of Hypnotize. Ugh, I just love them. I get chills everytime I listen to this song.
Since the beginning of time, t'was written in the stones that one day a band would come. Well, that band has come, and now they are here to come again inside of our ear pussies. Thank you System of a Down.
God damn how sad is it that i shed a tear when i read what mooseyfate wrote just because we haven't seen or heard anything from these guys in so long? Soad for life
Don’t get me wrong daron isn’t bad on vocals but this is what SOAD should’ve been all along for the most part with Serj on lead vocals overall. Hypnotize and Mesmerize I feel like Serj was kinda pushed to the side vocals wise
Bizler katliam yapsak inanın ki bu şekilde anıra anıra ne söylecek ne de yazacak kadar hayatta kalamazdınız. 1 ayda sadece Karabağ da halinizi gördük.Yüz yılın utancısınız.

John Dolmayan is one of the best drummers of all time. the fact that he is a lefty and plays right handed is just awesome
He's left-handed?
@@mylinglivetv yeah
Alot of drummers like that actually. Ringo, mick Fleetwood, Chris Adler pretty sure Stuart Copeland is a lefty too
he's ambidextrous for the most part though
John is one of the most underrated drummers of all time also he is one of the best drummers of the universe.❤
One of the most original and professional drummers and also a truly down to earth guy, I have a hell of respect for him.
Their Armenian background makes their fusion of sounds,styles, and grooves so unique!
`
I love John Dolmayan, he's my favorite drummer.
OMG the drummer guy can talk :O

@@freedomisdead9638 to me in this particular performance he seems very "inside" of the music, emotionally
I mean it does sound like serj is having some trouble but it still sounds awesome
His voice was really warm in this concert...
I mean who's to blame Serj if he was a little sick, you can literally see his breath. It was definitely cold so I'd understand if he was a little under the weather lmao. So they might be right. I think he sounds fine though!!
John nailed it on the head at the beginning. They are totally a socially conscious band. They write about almost everything.
BEST BAND EVER
Of course yes!
Agreed!
You’re right
I never found any band that had this massive impact in my mind and my personality, completely agree there's no other band like soad
te ha funcionado el gato sexo??
I love this band more than anything. So underrated. I love them. I am a Muslim lady and I never listen to rock much but will never stop being moved and chilled by their music.
Mashallah 😌
I'm muslim too but I like the songs, I don't think too much about the lyrics and their meanings

The keyboards sounds so epic.
*keyboard
4:07 Holy fuck John, Machine gun speed! :D
I love the moment when the intro kicked in as the drummer said "drugs, sex, alcohol..."
Love it
3:56 I love this part most.
I was going to write a political statement, then decided to write a musical opinion, but then I just went with a HOLY SHIT SERJ IS SO CUTE IN THAT SWEATER. It may not be the most intellectually profound statement, but it's the truest to my real feelings...

I agree! lol And so extremely talented
Katie Frank SERJ IS MINE >:C
Ooh damn, competition going on hahaha..Aldo he has a wife already..Sooo, nothing from that hahaha
2:55 the only time you'll ever see serj headbang
Watch the preformance of 'Mind' at whisky a go go. He headbangs a lot

Such a beautiful song.. And the drummer badass awesome
Wow, I honestly would've thought that John had a deeper voice than that.
TheRubbaRazza
'Cause every drummer has a deep voice lol
Enrique Vazquez lol
Not Roger Taylor lol
Beast with a soft voice just like Mike Tyson
This song, especially, the chorus brought me to tears... Shivers through my body ❤️🔥
Wow, every time I hear this it hits something inside me... Can’t resist to sing “Freedom” and really feel that interpretation. It’s just an amazing song with deep and creepy lyrics and cry out of resistance.
One of the hardest songs to sing of soad
4:07 Machine gun drums
this song is Holy
Wow. This has to be one of their best performances. Perfect and sounds awesome. Great song too. And john on the drums. OP
I don't know why, but I like the live version of this song more than the studio one. This is a great performance.
Awesome Gameplays Serj knows how to sing his songs live as well as in the studio. And by the way, he was even a bit ill in this concert
He does sound outta tune though.
Its the sound and mixing in this part show....and this show happened long before Serj's voice change.
He could still hit high notes and scream then....he can't now.
@@kodaklae9082 old serj couldnt hit high notes, now his scale js much bigger
the only problem is that the drums sound weird idk why
2005 Serj Vocals had a unique flavor to them, the tone was kinda between old and new vocals that he displays now
2:45 he hit that perfectly
i love slides
I lovew Serj, but i reminds me of Will Ferrell singing in this video 😂
Light: Nothing is faster than me
John: hol up
One of my favorite SOAD songs, and I’m never surprised of their performance 🤟

holy mountains es una de mis canciones favoritas; soad es buenisimo!!!
Never thought that intro could be any better, until you watch it live. Fantastic
How tf is John Doylman shirtless... it was cold there... look at Serj's breath 4:52
Not all gods wear shirts ;)
That's because drummers sweat a shit ton more. You have to think your body's going to be staying warmer with all that rapid movement that comes with beating the shit out of the drums.
Some people practice staying in cold and they can do it like him
My Favorite system songs- All of them.
2017 and they still awesome
One of the best songs
0:11
when you trying to be serious in a presentation and your friends start playing with you across the room
I used to admire most to Daron but now i admire John and shavo the same or even more ,John Is one of the Best drummers
¡Amo esta canción!
Personally, I think this is Holy Mountains' best performance.
the sound of the piano at 4:10 is really awesome LOVE SOAD!
A fantastic performance of an amazing song
Espetacular !!!
After watching screamers...it all had sence...
