I hate this fuckin band. I liked them when first cd came out but after watchin them and listening to them more and more they are just plain fucking not metal.Though I don't agree with the war situation I'm sure many will agree that this band plain sucks,and that is just my opinion don't like it don't fucking read it.One of my old friends played in an emo band(part of reason we're only in touch once in a great while) and felt the need to do SOAD songs when they played gigs and though they covered them decent enough, I for one was repulsed by it.


Now playing-Death Choke On It(Old school metal)

If you hate System of a Down why the fuck would you go to a piece of news where the first four words are "System of a Down"? Are you all stuck up pricks, or just a bunch of stupid dumbasses? Makes no fucking sense!

And anyone who thinks differently clearly has never been to a good festival! S.O.A.D are a heap of shit so they will clearly do ok at Download along with all the othe Nu-metal, Pop-Punk bands that play there. I could count on one hand the number of good bands at Download last year.

I never said I like System of a Down, because the truth is I don't. I just don't understand why you'd bathmouth them after clicking on a news story that's obviously about them? And yes Zakk Wylde is the fucking man! (Dimebag used to be but :()

well at the bottom of the screen it says comments, meaning that it incorporates either good OR bad comments from people about the topic

It prevents the growth of sheepism

"also they sound very fucking simillar to themselves. nothing nu.
plain old tired, downtuned, thrashy, frank zappa wannabes :P"


99% of metal is the same, and repeats itself. Slayer, Maiden, Metallica till the black album. Its the same tired shit over and over again to appeal to moron fans who are more concerned about "heaviness" than good music.
