System of a Down use Emperor riff

[Phrozenspite]

hmm interesting, I was just informed of this by one of my friends... on the song Revenga on their new album they use a riff from I am the black wizards...

 

[AsModEe]

interesting... but maybe it's only accidental.

 

[Arrakis]

little do we know soad are all closet emperor fans

 

[no country for old wainds]

They like Slayer and Sabbath, I know that much.

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

It's not exactly the same thing, but it's kind of close. The section he's talking about starts at 2:34, I just listened.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Yeah, it's not the exact riff but close. Daron is a big black metal fan.

 

[AsModEe]

I also noticed on B.Y.O.G. that the drummer seems to be trying to do blastbeats.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Haven't heard the song, but I do like the band. Never understood the criticism.

 

[circus_brimstone]

Yeah, Satyricon's Volcano was re-released through the guitarist's EatUrMusic label...not that they're black metal anymore, though.

 

[Necroscythe]

fucking commies prolly ripped off Emperor, I am sure.

 

[Mormagil]

Who cares? it probably wasn't intentional.

I remember the lead singer getting beaned in the face with a cup of beer when they openned at a show and we booed them.

He was saying some crap like, "That's the problem with you people in Las Vegas, you're under the control of corporate america and the government!" Then the beer went sailing. Dumb asshole deserved it.

Somehow, hating SOAD's crappy music is completely because the government and corporate america makes us hate it.

 

[Mormagil]

Well, that's why I don't like them.

 

[Anthony]

i dont' give a fuk

 

[Terrordome]

Syndrome of A Down are one of the worst bands ever in my eyes. Original yes but that does not mean good. Look at Meshuggah.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Haven't heard the song, but I do like the band. Never understood the criticism.

I second, Aerials is a pretty good song

 

[Edgecrusher]

He was saying some crap like, "That's the problem with you people in Las Vegas, you're under the control of corporate america and the government!"

...and I guess they're not under control of Sony Music, or Viacomm?

If the United States is so bad why dont they get the fuck out. Get a fucking passport,buy plane tickets with all the money they're making selling their albums(corperate).

"If the United States is so bad why dont they get the fuck out. Get a fucking passport,buy plane tickets with all the money they're making selling their albums(corperate)."

It's not that easy. In fact, it's very difficult to move to another country...legally that is.

A few years ago, I actually liked this band. I remember something like a blast beat on toxicity. As to the greys, I hate it when people say that. Its always republicans saying "If you hate america, then get out", I am not going to leave just because I can't stand some presidents policies. If I don't like it, I'll speak with my vote, and try to make it better. I swear, if everyone who was told to do that actually did, america would be half as big and half as strong, not cool.
