[size=1]While they aren't my favorite band I enjoy there music alot. They also played a great live show at Ozzfest. Rob Zombie topped them though. One of my favorite songs by SOAD is Bounce. I have become quite fond of Aerials (Spelling?) lately.[/size]

[B]YES! I'll always get my word in when dealing with this crappy excuse for a band. My best friends like them, it's so horrible. Sometimes I feel like disowning them. lol. I've given my reasons why you shouldn't like this band, apart fromt he terrible singing and absolute ugliness of them in a whole. The singing is what gets me. HORRID! HOOOOORRRRRIIIIIIDDDDDD! he should really get some vocal lessons. The rest of them are ok. [/B][/QUOTE]

On the same token, they are not supposed to sound like a harmonic choir lol.

I think system of a down are pretty cool. I like thier songs Chop Suey! and Sugar the best. Very ragey songs.

btw, they did the Zelda song? I can't find it on toxicity or their first album. o_O

It doesn't sound very much like them, so I'm not sure they did it. I can't find the lyrics to Innervision though. I went to systemofadown.com and getlyrics.com but still couldn't find it.

[size=1]Trust me, it [B]is[/B] them. A friend of mine has seen them play it live. Plus, I love that song. :p But, Bounce is still and always will be SOAD's [B]#1[/B] song. :)[/size]

I don't want them to sound like a harmonic choir. It's just, 'd like a band to have a singer that can a) SING! and b) not sound like a dying cow in the process. He's HORRIBLE, there's nothing more to it. He deserves nothing, and I can't believe you people eat that crap up.

I agree that he's not a very good singer, but I still like the lyrics and other things that the band produces. The instrument play is great, and even though he's not the greatest (not nearly), I still like the band.

What the hell is Gackt?

I like them. I have bought their Toxicity CD a while back, but it soon slipped into my listen-to-ocasionally pile.
I love Chop Suey. Before I first bought it, I used to go on the phone and request Chop Suey on the radio all the time. Then when 911 happened they stopped playing if for like a month because it said [b]'When angels deserve to dieeeeee.'[/b] It really pissed me off... Did that happen to anyone else?

Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they suck. :whoops:

Yes it does, for I am never wrong....

Gackt deserves to be overly popular though. Much like Mizer deserved it. And many other bands like that. Unlike American corporate created bands, the Japanese actually create themselves to be swooned over by the fangirl mafia. I'm sure by now they realize whats in store for them if they contain certain aspects, like visual kei, hot looks, or weird antics. I'm pretty sure that when gackt left Mizer to do his solo career he knew he was going to get a very large following of fangirls whom had been with Mizer before and then even more who just think he's the best thing around. I'd consider Gackt a smart business man, not an overhyped artist. Unlike American pop bands who can't create themselves and rely on others to do it for them. They don't deserve anything.

You haven't had to deal with the same fans I've had to deal with obviously.... there are actually people who really believe Gackt is perfect. Seriously. And they believe all that stuff he says about being a vampire and 500 years old and whatever... they actually believe all of that. I'd consider that slightly "overpopular" when you have fans who will believe your every word...

Plus I see Gackt on frigging AMERICAN sites too... like just at random places "Oh, I like this Japanese artist named Gackt too..." and it's so insane. He's much more popular [i]outside[/i] of Japan it seems like.

TN, your not the only person who's opinion is worth a damn. You are wrong, System is in my opinion a very crappy band..they cant sing, and all they do is scream... the times they dont scream, it sounds like they a goat is being slaughtered alive. But friggen regardless...thatss MY OPINION.. im not god..neither are you so get a grip man...

[color=red] Yes, they have to be one of my favorite bands. I prefer their older CD over their newer one, but both CDs are good. My favorite song would be "Suggestions" from the first CD. And also "Spiders" that song is cool to.[/color]
