Forsaken Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 One of my favorite bands. Would love dearly for them to come back and make new material. Great live band. Serj had such an amazing voice back then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The riffs are cool, but overall it's not a band that I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Diet Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Then you're officialy got terrible musical tasteSOAD 1998-2004 was a unique (a simple, but unique) thing in the musical scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) The riffs are cool... .... They're tuned to dropped C right.... Dropped C or Eb, for some songs, like, watching Aerials just now from Big Day Out... I could not help but notice that they were all on a different part of the neck to how I play it, In dropped C.Hmmmmmm... Because I swear it's on the album that's 'all in dropped C' called Toxicity... But... IDK.I'm going to have to run to a guitar (old school modded Framus, the one In that key) and see what's going on and then maybe running back to a Gibson (that's in Eb) and seeing what goes what where and stuff... With that video as sort of like a guide because, I can do it, just different and... I think I know the difference but won't be sure until I try, I guess... The shit that runs through my mind. My bad.

Gordon Comstock Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Used to kinda like 'em, but wasn't a huge fan. I thought Serj's first solo record was better than any of the SOAD albums, but maybe tied with Toxicity (even though it's hard to compare those albums). Never got the hype around them as a great live band, they seemed really hit and miss in that department from the shows I've seen online. The hypnotize/mezmerize era they didn't seem like all that great of a show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Serj changed his singing style during the Hypnotize/Mesmerize era from the howling style he used during early SOAD. I think he blew his voice out. Good shit circa 97'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Serj changed his singing style during the Hypnotize/Mesmerize era from the howling style he used during early SOAD. I think he blew his voice out. His screams in the toxicity era were pretty awesome. A bit better than the late 90's... I think the early 00s were his peak in that style. I liked his style on Elect The Dead though. (Plus his early solo shows looked pretty cool, would've liked to have seen one of those shows).Never liked Darren. I could tolerate him sometimes, but never actually liked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz0r Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Saw them at Ozzfest when they were touring Toxticity, they were awesome. They shared the stage with Black Label Society, POD, Rob Zombie, and Ozzy... and SOAD put on the best show of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 was really into them in high school, Mesmerize/Hypnotise was such a great way for them to go out, those albums blew me away. Toxicity is probably my favorite though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Only slightly better than A7X on the scale of bands every high-school kid likes. Serj is really talented, shame his shit is either trash like most SOAD songs or overly pretentious political crap like his solo albums. I still love Elect the Dead.Damon Malakian can jump off a bridge. Edited October 1, 2013 by bacardimayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheapJon Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Some good songs but loads of crap as well. Not a fan, left the show when I was seeing them to chat up a norwegian chick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt88 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 In college I used to LOVE this band. Like all about them. Toxicity was amazing then. Now? When i listen to them I legit can't even fathom what I liked. Has that ever happened to anyone else? A band just doesn't hold up over time for you?
