Yeah, what the hell was that all about?

Guitar strings, cargo shorts -- everything fit a little looser in the '90's.

I had a couple of Moby tracks pop up in the mix on the drive into work this morning.

Would you say you are all about the bass?

This was great, cheers.
Yeah this was fantastic read.

I still stand by System of a Down's debut (and followup), and I find it hard to seriously group it with the rest of the late 90s nu-metal.

MONSTER riffs on SOAD's debut. I agree they have nothing to do with nu-metal. Opening track is a ripper f'sure.

I really want someone to make a nu-metal documentary using that article as a template.

I wouldnt put SOAD in that category either.

SOAD were an alternative metal band that were able to become popular due to the success of nu metal.

Post by **Jorge** » Wed August 19, 2015 8:27 pm

Also because of how freaky-looking their guitarist is

Classic B.

Kevin Davis · Post by **Kevin Davis** » Wed August 19, 2015 8:31 pm

I hated System of a Down the same way I hated all those bands. They have some defining traits, sure, but the net impression they left on me was always the same.

Norah · Post by **Norah** » Wed August 19, 2015 8:35 pm

At the time I was deep into my classic rock phase and wasn't very open to new rock music outside of a few heavy hitting favorites (Pearl Jam and Radiohead mostly and Green Day to a lesser extent) but SOAD was one of the rare exceptions that grabbed me.

Post by **Jorge** » Wed August 19, 2015 8:38 pm

I like the songs "Sugar" and "Toxicity" a lot. I don't really know much about the band. I always saw them as being closer to Dead Kennedys than to Korn.

Norah · Post by **Norah** » Wed August 19, 2015 8:38 pm

They were just better than all the other popular hard rock bands of the time.
