When you're really down the rabbit hole of policitics... this song is everything I can think of that's happening currently under our noses.

Whoa…the significance of the black-clad soldiers (ignorance, evil) and the band members with the reflecting red lights (blood that is being shed) is blowing my freaking mind rn.
This song gives you much needed breaks in between the intensity of the heavy guitar riffs and pulsating drums. Then at one point when you feel almost relieved because you think the song is over, it explodes back to life and shoves the controlled chaos right down your throat again against your will and you can't help but love every second of it. People are calling this song a "Masterpiece" and I have to agree.
Those " much needed breaks" are the comparison to people who actually pay attention to what is happening in the world, and the oblivious to just want to party and not pay attention to anything political and hear buzzwords and throw their votes away because that's what CNN told them to do.
Why don't the presidents fight the war Why do they always send the poor Is the best lyric I think I've ever heard. Nothing complex, but it just resonates so well.
I agree, but I know better: _"Y'en a marre des pauvres"_ by Didier Super But that would be complicated to translate, because the layer of irony is quite thick.
Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that all to the poor War Pigs by Black Sabbath has a similar message
“Why don’t presidents fight the war, why do they always send the poor?” 15 years on and those lyrics are still shockingly relatable in today’s society. SOAD is timeless.
We eliminated ISIS, rapidly, and got out of Iraq. We've effectively ended the war in Afghanistan by reducing our troop presence to 2,500 "just in case" guys, we prevented a war with Syria, deflected from what looked like an inevitable war with Iran, kept peace with Russia despite many dicey situations, and avoided potential war with Korea with diplomacy. Your comment seems more relevant than ever 👏🤦
I love how System of a Down creates these very powerful and still very relevant messages in their music all the while giving you something to jam out to! It’s the coolest shit, in my opinion.
I'm 62 years old and this band has always been my jam. I'm a music aficionado and I like a lot of stuff but this band mixes angst with opera. Yeah so, blast off, It's party time has been in my head for a few days which is how I wound up here. System Of A Down is one of the greatest bands of all time.
I remember having this on my Windows XP PC in folder with other SOAD and other nu-metal bands clips in 144p quality. Watching this was a stunning entertainment.

When I was 15 years old, I was laying in a bathtub ready to end my life.... I had a radio playing on the sink counter, one of those old school ones with the long antenna sticking up LOL, playing on the only rock station for El Paso Texas....95.5 klaq... I had already been a huge fan of System of a down, but sitting there in that moment, when I heard the DJ announce "and here's the newest song from System of a down, byob" come on, I stopped what I was doing, and decided I wanted to hear it, and after decided i wanted to hear it again, which back in the day meant waiting through the rotation... I really love to believe sometimes, that music saved my life, and hope it does the same for others...... For reference, I am 34 now, with children of my own, living a pretty good life ❤️ raising my little metal punk kids who are totally respectful menaces to society LMFAO😂😂😂😂 thank you for your time if you've read this, and remember, all feelings are temporary!!!!
I understand you, I also had rock as an escape from my shitty life when I was a teenager, I'm still only twenty years old but I hope one day to introduce SOAD to my children too
This was my dads favorite System of a Down song, he passed away last year ,and whenever i play his favorite bands i feel his presence and love stronger than ever. Love you dad .
song is a timeless masterpiece. The instrumentation, lyrics, and message are all timeless. this song was released in the mid 2000s yet so many aspects of it sound modern still, even the flow in the breakdown sounds modern
ALL System of a Down songs will remain timeless. They were an infinite amount of years ahead of their time when they released their first album and still are.
Did u say childhood? and you know what this bands all about now .. look into it, Psy ops, mind reading and Armenian genocide, world wide government tyranny.? Fuck your generation is gonna be well informed and hopefully as cool as you are!! xxx.
IKR!! Same here. My childhood was in the 90's and my early teens (14-19) to high school graduation were in the early 00's. I miss them too. Nostalgia indeed! :D
I get that metal isn’t for everyone, but soad is by far on of the best bands out there imo. The worst part about listening to them is realizing that there’s no other band like them
I'm one of those who would swear on a stack the "metal isn't for me". So I justified liking System of a Down by just not thinking of them as metal. For the longest, I thought of them as some sort of 'neo-punk' or 'hard alternative'. Yeah, I was good at fooling mysrlf. Anyway, a rose by another name....
My brother passed in 2016 and he used to play the drums to all the SOAD songs. This song is such a throwback and so nostalgic to me.. and here I am crying Ugh. I miss you sm, Ryan💜😭 I hope you rockin wherever you are. I know you are.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I've read your comment and the first thing that came to my mind was that your brother must have been a force to be reckened with. My thoughts are with you and your late brother that was a SOAD drummer.
Being a mere child when this song came out, and not understanding much about the war, it’s crazy to now see the entire media apparatus call for endless war in Afghanistan, and I finally understand what it must have been like in 2003 with Iraq.
I remember listening to this with my dad as early as 4 years old, back in 2007. its crazy how now at 17, I have a complete different perception of the song as I now understand it, yet it still gets better with every time I listen to it. there will never be another band like System of a down

I remember watching it on Mtv way back in 2005 when I was just 12 years old. I couldn't get half of the lyrics, but somehow I think it changed my brain's chemistry.
I love the contrast between the frenetic energy of the verses and the groovyness of the chorus, and then theres the blast off part melting my headphones
Why are people saying this song has become relevant again in 2020? This song is about war, this song has been relevant even before it was even released!

I have never been into metal, but right now I'm trying to get into it. Because it seems that metal bands are the only musicians with talent these days who make quality music. I love this song.
System of a down is SO good. For how much recognition theyve gotten I could STILL say theyre underated. Theyre definitely worth what theyve gotten and much more.
Honestly this trend of posting a month and year and asking if anyone is here is getting old. Music is timeless. really good music is beyond that. So who cares if someone else was listening 10 years ago, 1 year ago or this month. People will always continue to enjoy it forever as long as we and the digital world exist
I was in the U.S. Army in 2007 & we were not allowed to listen to this song unofficially but now I understand why. We should of never gone there bro....
@@HannahCottom97 if im not mistaken this song is pretty much about the US on iraq & Bush, also US obsession of invasion of the middle east in general.
lmao I was in for damn near a decade from 2008 on and blasted SOAD including this song in the barracks. No one gave a shit. Dunno where you were at, but perhaps they just didn't like you
This is the last song that my best friend and I listened to together before he passed away tragically. I miss you, Jeremiah Orion West and I will never forget you. You were the best friend that a person could ever have.
democrasy shit. a lot of "self-righteous" kings of the dark ages lie on ground with his peasant soldiers but our democrat leaders of "the people" are too important for to die in a battleground. i think if the kings had oppurnity of sending kids to school after their 5 age, they'll think either monarchy is the best goverment type for human honour. but we're living in republics so we think republics are best.
Exactly. They won’t even let their family sign up for anything. Nothing. If there is a draft, guess who’s not a citizen here but are in Barbados or some other exotic place. They use dog whistle words like us and freedom and respect and we are better. Everyone wants to come to 😮America. We are just a fancy lie dressed in a beautiful facade with a silver tongue. Actually they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. Some just come out and say it like jfk speaking of secret governments that are the ones calling the shots. It’s collapsing though and that scares me because we don’t even belong to ourselves. The autonomy they promised, was sold ages ago. Smh 😔
“You depend on our protection yet you feed us lies from from the tablecloth” real ass line too but we’re only talking about “why don’t presidents fight the way why do you always send the poor” they’re both very powerful
The nature of man is not so easily changed. There's a reason why very old books with teachings / observations to that fact remain hauntingly relevant no matter how many years go by.
as I see it, maybe sound conspiranoid, why would any president want the earth erased in nuclear destruction? none of them, they got so much "materialistically speaking" to lose that they won't risk it, they only care about those number$ increasing, war nowadays its just bussiness and a pretext to lessen economic regulation, specifically on weapons and maybe laundering smth, who knows?

@Dreyarde I heard it on the radio all the time when I was younger and even my dad told me the song but it’s been many years since that and I just forgot
there's so many more bands with more talent that write WAY more complex music. Tool, Dream Theater, Metallica, Megadeth, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, just to name a few. Not saying SOAD isn't a good band but they're definitely not one of the most talented bands ever lol.
Absolutely. The ending of the song, where they abruptly stop to wear the mind control masks, reminds me of the people who were rebellious as kids, listening to SOAD or RATM and today they support Trump, oppose abortion, civil rights and call the bands they used to love anti-free speech hacks cause they no longer agree with them. It's sad.
@@puglover6113 Ah, so more unsafe abortions on the inevitable black market is good? More dead moms due to risky pregnancies is good? More trauma due to having to carry rape-babies is good? More unwanted and thus often unloved kids is good? If you say yes still, it's because you don't care about actual human well-being, you just care about restricting the freedom of women. You will never be able to "ban" abortions. You're just going to outsource them to other countries, while making those that do happen unsafe and forcing a bunch of children into families that didn't want them.
This song will never get old... that chorus use to get me going as a kid. Lol. R.I.P late night MTV Also for being as simple as it is, still one of my favorite catchy guitar riffs of all time.

Ive admired System of a Down for forever and my dad used to listen to them all the time. Ive just recently started listening to them again, and wow! Im not the typical kind of person according to most to have a music taste such as this but its all ive ever known. Def my favorite band.
I would suggest checking their first album out, then the rest. Then you'll get their weird style. Weird middle eastern metal mixed with beautiful melodies and some fantastic push grind
SF 2024 ! The concert they are so good live. Unreal! When they started playing you couldn't feel shit. Not time passing. not foot pain just the music and it felt so short the hour and a half they had flew by.
@ how is that? The Armenian people of Stepanakert, Shushi and other cities have been under 💣 missile attacks which are forbidden...war crimes!! ignored by the world....yea Genocide for a month and a half NON Stop and you call it pro-war? Let us see you have bombs dropped on your house for months and check your attitude. To boot, Azerbaijan is creating false news and bribing news agencies to report only news favorable to their genocidal policy. You should rediscover the point of the music.

I had already been a huge fan of System of a down, but sitting there in that moment, when I heard the DJ announce "and here's the newest song from System of a down, byob" come on, I stopped what I was doing, and decided I wanted to hear it, and after decided i wanted to hear it again, which back in the day meant waiting through the rotation... I really love to believe sometimes, that music saved my life, and hope it does the same for others...... For reference, I am 34 now, with children of my own, living a pretty good life ❤️ raising my little metal punk kids who are totally respectful menaces to society LMFAO😂😂😂😂 thank you for your time if you've read this, and remember, all feelings are temporary!!!!
Sometimes I think about ending it all
I understand you, I also had rock as an escape from my shitty life when I was a teenager, I'm still only twenty years old but I hope one day to introduce SOAD to my children too

song is a timeless masterpiece. The instrumentation, lyrics, and message are all timeless. this song was released in the mid 2000s yet so many aspects of it sound modern still, even the flow in the breakdown sounds modern
This is my favourite song and I'm so glad i was brought up with this
ALL System of a Down songs will remain timeless. They were an infinite amount of years ahead of their time when they released their first album and still are.
@@LilithFox04 Hell me too, we had the good music growing up

I get that metal isn’t for everyone, but soad is by far on of the best bands out there imo. The worst part about listening to them is realizing that there’s no other band like them
I strongly agree with you
I'm one of those who would swear on a stack the "metal isn't for me". So I justified liking System of a Down by just not thinking of them as metal. For the longest, I thought of them as some sort of 'neo-punk' or 'hard alternative'. Yeah, I was good at fooling mysrlf. Anyway, a rose by another name....
They arent my favorite, but one thing I can agree with you is that there is no other band like them.

"Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" Really the most relevant statement in any war.
democrasy shit. a lot of "self-righteous" kings of the dark ages lie on ground with his peasant soldiers but our democrat leaders of "the people" are too important for to die in a battleground. i think if the kings had oppurnity of sending kids to school after their 5 age, they'll think either monarchy is the best goverment type for human honour. but we're living in republics so we think republics are best.

@@luluna5228 Why is it that the people that declare the wars never have to fight them
Exactly. They won’t even let their family sign up for anything. Nothing. If there is a draft, guess who’s not a citizen here but are in Barbados or some other exotic place. They use dog whistle words like us and freedom and respect and we are better. Everyone wants to come to 😮America. We are just a fancy lie dressed in a beautiful facade with a silver tongue. Actually they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. Some just come out and say it like jfk speaking of secret governments that are the ones calling the shots. It’s collapsing though and that scares me because we don’t even belong to ourselves. The autonomy they promised, was sold ages ago. Smh 😔
@theInsaneDoctor5228 cause then who is gonna lead if we send the highest up??

Cuz this is why they exist. No president, senator, no politicians will ever care about the people. We're only paws for then and their desires...
as I see it, maybe sound conspiranoid, why would any president want the earth erased in nuclear destruction? none of them, they got so much "materialistically speaking" to lose that they won't risk it, they only care about those number$ increasing, war nowadays its just bussiness and a pretext to lessen economic regulation, specifically on weapons and maybe laundering smth, who knows?

Some people's inner voices are like this and if you've ever met a man like this they are AWESOME. I *love* my new relationship.

and appearantly they are ok with war now
@ how is that? The Armenian people of Stepanakert, Shushi and other cities have been under 💣 missile attacks which are forbidden...war crimes!! ignored by the world....yea Genocide for a month and a half NON Stop and you call it pro-war? Let us see you have bombs dropped on your house for months and check your attitude. To boot, Azerbaijan is creating false news and bribing news agencies to report only news favorable to their genocidal policy. You should rediscover the point of the music. Self Defense against genocide by ISIS is not ProWar.

Six years ago, I would visit this video to wake up my daughter for high school. Now I'm doing it again for my son. I love it when a tradition continues.
