about the best metal band ever, mostly because not only are they incredibly talented but they're actually singing something with a message, they have political views which they wish to share, they dont sing about girls like car and money over boys with is complete bull shit anyway, anyone who has deffined system of a down as pop should go pull the giantic bug out of there ass!!!! they ARE authenic not like avril who ses that she i sand tries to be apunk and sings shit music

Get the system of a down mug.
the most unique and bad ass band ever. there music is considered metal but to tell you the truth they belong in there own genre of music because you just cant compare them to any other band out there and anyone who doesnt like them is either black no offense, or homosexual and if you dont like it you should at least appreciate them for being as incredibbly talented as they are. and even though i cant understand a good amount of what they are singing i go and look up the lyrics and it actually makes sense and some of it is pretty deep and political and other stuff like the song spiders i still dont quite understand but it still kicks ass. the drummers and guitars are so fast that i can hardly believe that serj tankian the lead singer can keep up but then again he is the most amazing singer ever

cant wait till there next album comes out because my friends and family are tired of me blasting hypnotize on my stereo and to tell you the truth i dont listen to alot more music other than soad because there is no other music like it and static-x because its kinda similar to soad. by the way wayne static the lead singer of static-x has the coolest hair ever

listem to there albums

hypnotize
mesmerize
steal this album

The only band I have heard in YEARS that speaks to me. Their words and sounds are mystical, etherial, a challenge to grasp...but they fill me with music and some days, the will too live. Say what you will about them, to me they are the closest thing to heaven I know...and I am an athiest.
All we need is inner vision...like System of a Down. Don't hate them because their beautiful.

metal band (yes, they are metal) known for singing about politics, though they sing about a lot of other stuff too. some of their songs do not have a definate meaning and are open for interpretation. some of them might be about nothing. system takes a lot of heat for singing about the war and the problems in america, when a lot of other bands do the same (and only to follow suit on the trend that hating America has become). SOAD is a band with convictions, talent and honest beliefs that they share with their fans in their songs, and they are generally well-liked. usually the only people who are offended by system of a down are rednecks and overzealous conservatives.
I love system of a down and own all of their albums.

An unfortunate band who's had their most mediocre songs become hits, yet have their best work go unnoticed and make everyone think that they suck because of the mediocre songs. Many of their good songs, such as boom point out true flaws in the system, unlike such pathetic bands as Simple Plan and Good Charlotte.
System of a Down has had some unfortunate hits, such as lonely day and hypnotize, yet some of their best works like sugar and war? have gone unnoticed thanks to the media.
