4 tha rock has no damn idead what he is talking about thenew system of a down is some of the worst crap ive ever herd and its even more terrible live, They were the worst band i ever saw live at ozzfest, the even f***ed up old songs like war using computer effects. Im not sure if they played any other older songs because they were so terrible i left. It was a discrase to have them headline considering they played only newer music. SOAD is a piece of sh** band and there stage performace was really gay, they were like the a$$holes you hated in highschool that have grown up into musicians, why didnt they just dress like clowns on stage, could anyone take there gayness seriously. Darion M. has to be a complete fa**ot. He did stage skits much like a forth grader, they were not funny or amusing, how some people laughed was beyound my belief( must of smoked a couple of ounces to find that humorous)

Deathmetal_Head,

You are to f***ing right, and 4tharock, you are a mother f***ing c***, your the kind of person that your parents wished they aborted you. SOAD have done nothing for music, f***, they sound like a group of prepubescent f***s that think powerchords are the coolest thing ever. They f***ing suck. You, you are a f***ign wigger child who gets impressed when a band uses a guitar effect. I bet you think SOAD guitarists are just the best out there huh. How about you listen to some real music, and stop listening to Back street boys with intruments.
SOAD should be SAOD, for sucks alot of d***. But of course 4tharock knows all about c*** sucking doesn't he.

I think "SOAD have done nothing for music" might be going a bit far - sure, they're not doing much of late, but they did instigate a fresh element to nu-metal/rock/pop music with all their funky, unexpected tunes. Which is what made the debut so good. The other stuff out there simply wasn't anything like it. But after - how many albums? - it gets samish and everyone else picks up on the deal, and, well, the band ends up on hiatus, i suppose.

I have to admit having enjoyed Soads early output, particularly the debut and Steal this Album!....but they've deteriorated quite a bit, especially since Soad have become the Daron Malakian Show.
