System Of A Down Biography:
Like many late-\\\'90s metal bands, System of a Down struck a balance between \\\'80s underground thrash metal and metallic early-\\\'90s alternative rockers like Jane\\\'s Addiction. Their dark, neo-gothic alternative metal earned a cult following in the wake of the popularity of such likeminded bands as Korn and the Deftones. Vocalist Serj Tankian, guitarist Daron Malakian, bassist Shavo Odadjian, and drummer John Dolmayan formed System of a Down in Southern California in the mid-\\\'90s. They quickly earned a strong following in Los Angeles, largely based on strong word of mouth. A three-song demo began circulating through metal collectors, and their fan base soon spread throughout not only America, but Europe and New Zealand.
By the end of 1997, the group had signed to American, then distributed by Columbia Records. American/Columbia released the group\\\'s eponymous debut album in the summer of 1998, securing the band opening spots on the Slayer and Ozzfest tours. System eventually went gold, and set up the September 2001 release of the even more ambitious Toxicity. System\\\'s second effort was another heavy music triumph, shaming the majority of their nu-metal competition and running away with multi-platinum honors. The quartet didn\\\'t slow down. Malakian started the eatURmusic imprint and Tankian a label called Serjical Strike; Tankian also collaborated with Armenian avant-garde folk musician Arto Tuncboyaciyan in a project called Serart. In November 2002 System issued the bare-bones but no less powerful odds \\\'n\\\' ends set Steal This Album!; they also remained politically active.
By 2004, System of a Down was back in the studio with Rick Rubin. The bold result of those sessions was a single, epic album released in two parts. Mezmerize/Hypnotize kept System\\\'s furious creativity alive, incorporating the wild vocal melodies, lyrical passion, and rabid structural shifts that had become their trademark. Mezmerize, or part one, appeared in May 2005, while Hypnotize, its final section, appeared later in the year, and both hit the top of the album charts.

they die 4 you on the south park sound track.
its ok, but its like a rap song and shit. and
I think that Want me to try is just another
name for Highway song off of STA. | SOADfreak | Thanx for the info, that's one more to
mark off! WANT ME TO TRY is not another
song.
WHY is just an I-E-A-I-A-I-O Demo.
Yea, all I have are pretty good. The only one
I don't like is Johnny, it's too wierd
and annoying.

Starlit Eyes
Temper
Virginity
Will They Die 4 You?

Prison Song (Demo) | Master_Shake | Oh, I totally forgot about:
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas Theme
Anyone else every hear this song?! It was
kinda scary, they even say "this is
frightening right here" before
playing. | Master_Shake | | Did soad do that? | Mr_Krift | Starlit Eyes is probly the best in that list
even if it was done with a band called
Snot.... | mesmerise | I belive that SOAD coverd it though. Im not
sure on it though. | Mr_Krift | Here are the songs that actually exist.
Blue, Dam, Desecrate, Drugs (live), Feel
Good, Fortress, Friik, Honey, Im Nazelis
(live), K.I.T.T. (early version of
I-E-A-I-A-I-O, just played live), Patterns
(not a Sabbath cover as far as I know),
Shame, Starlit Eyes, Temper, Cherry (Actual
name for Virgin Tea), Waiting For You (early
demo of Thetawaves), Want Me To Try (early
demo of Highway Song), We Don't Give A
(actually A.D.D. demo), Will They Die 4 You.
In the second group, all of them can be found
on various albums.
Johnny is on the Toxicity single, and I think
maybe on the Japanese Toxicity album itself.
Marmalade is on the Strangeland soundtrack,
maybe even on the self-titled Japanese
album.
Metro is on the Not Another Teen Movie
soundtrack.
And maybe even the Dracula 2000 soundtrack.
Snowblind is on an Ozzy Osbourne album with
various artists, I forgot the name of it.
And, as for the live stuff, Idk.
But, I have almost all of the songs that I
listed, so just contact me and I'm sure we
can figure out a way to get it to you. | SOAD_Nirvana | | | |
