  • @nb8817

    Nu-metal is an interesting genre because it’s more or less protest music and each band has its own sound and set of ideas that they want to share with their audience.
    For example the members of SOAD are extremely humanitarian, anti-war, and against governments having a lot of control over people (because the members are descendants of survivors from the Arminian genocide), which is reflected in their songs
    While Slipknot tends to focus on stuff like mental health, freedom of artistic expression, and the issues of social isolation because they want to make a place for people who’ve been rejected
    Korn often discusses the physical and psychological effects of abuse because the lead singer is a male survivor of csa and he wants to share his struggles so others don’t feel alone
    Rage Against The Machine focuses on the Black American experience, the generational trauma of systemic and government supported racism, and how black people are allowed to be upset about it
    All different, but all great bands that have important issues they are passionate about

    • @luismotta6441
      @luismotta6441 Před 9 měsíci +17

      It can be quite stupid when rock musicians begin to imagine themselves as understanding politics and make various loud statements to the general public. Things turned out very badly with Armenia just for a few days. A few years ago, they walked the streets, shouted all sorts of slogans, and eventually overthrew one government and installed another, which turned out to be no less thieves and corrupt officials, but even greater. As it has been going on there for centuries, where clans and families are strong. And as a result of all this, Armenia recently lost Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) to Azerbaijan. And these street protests and unrest began several years ago precisely with populist slogans that they would now overthrow “bad” politicians and install “good” ones in their place. Serj Tankian played an important role in this whole movement. But it is unlikely that today he will come out to the Armenians in Armenia and say, sorry, I was wrong.

    22:53 To give more context to BYOB the meaning of the song is Bring your own Bombs to play on the acronym Bring your own bottle to a party. The band made the song to protest the Iraq war which was in its second year at this point the & also the United States media's poor coverage of the ongoing war and rather talked about party and frat culture that was at its peak in the mid-2000s.
    And of course, the actions of government sending the poor to die in wars that they caused or Wars that no person from a lower class family should be involved in

  • @Telleryn
    @Telleryn Před 6 měsíci +158

    Aerials has some great lines in it, the song title refers to aerialists (acrobats, part of the circus motif in the video) and the freedom they have, "life is a waterfall, we're one in the river and one again after the fall" can be taken as essentially saying that we're all made of the same stuff, we all come from the same place, we get this brief life as individuals like water forming droplets as it falls, but we all ultimately go back to the same place in the end, "we drink from the river then we turn around and put up our walls" could be taken as either the greedy partitioning of natural resources (we drink from the river then put up a wall to keep others from it even though we didn't make the river so shouldn't really belong to anyone) or of the needless divisions we put up between ourselves, and "when you lose small mind you free your life" is probably a call to live honestly and opening, when you remain small-minded you miss out on so much that the world has to offer.
    Overall the video seems to be about a child who was part of a circus, is discovered and made famous, but is ultimately unhappy with the fame and fortune and wishes to return to their old life, chasing money and fame has brought them stress, chaos, and expectations, it is the aerialists who are truly free still doing what the enjoy.
    Also you were spot on with the sacred silence.

    • @caribbeanman3379
      @caribbeanman3379 Před 6 měsíci +3

      Regarding Aerials: The imagery in the video unlock the meaning of the lyrics. It's about the tendency to crave wealth, fame and attention for ourselves without wanting or realizing the negative aspects that come with it such as loss of privacy and loss of freedom to be your true self. The lyrics allude to this: "lose ourselves and find it all"; "always want to go but never want to stay"; "always want to play but never want to lose"; "drink from the river then turn around and put up our walls". In other words, people want the good that comes with wealth and fame but they don't want to accept the more unpleasant consequences and responsibilities that come with it. The last phrase about putting up walls is very reminiscent of Michael Jackson's experience, as an example. He drank from the river in the sense of gaining fame and wealth from the fans of the world who loved his music. But then he had to turn around and put up a wall in the sense of living a very private, illusive life, struggling to maintain privacy from the public and paparazzi from tabloids who were always hounding him.
      The weird looking kid represents the small-minded people who crave fame and wealth - the "aerials". The weird face perhaps represents that such persons are not their natural selves but are forced/pressured to put on a public persona. The video shows them having fame, wealth, and attention but being unhappy. Their life is essentially in a virtual prison created by the various pressures and challenges that celebrities face. You have to lose the small mind - the childlike mind that wants to be rich and famous and loved by everyone - to free your life and be the real you that is truly happy and content.@@TeddyGreyOS

You? what do you own the world? how do you own disorder? - how can any of us claim ownership of this brief flash of cohabited chaos?
    The whole Toxicity album deserves to always be listened to in full in sequence. It's a masterpiece.
    Also, these songs are among the LEAST unhinged of theirs. SOAD lyrics tend towards absurdity and the abstract. They don't tell you a story as much as the evoke it.

    I LOVE SOAD AND LOVE THAT YOU DID THIS!!! I stated in the comments of your first reaction to their song, Toxicity as an album is a masterpiece and not one bad song on it, they always keep you guessing and Mezmerize which is the album B.Y.O.B. is on is just as good! If you want another rabbit hole to jump in or another hour react, you have to check out Ice Nine Kills Silver Scream - 5 songs in this order - The American Nightmare, Thank God its Friday, A Grave Mistake, Stabbing in the Dark, and It is the End - individually the songs are fire, together with the videos its a movie! It will be an epic review for sure and I know you will become a fan of theirs quickly! Keep up the hustle, I enjoy your reactions.

    Just discovered you tonight and I have to say that I love what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. I’m a huge SOAD fan and have watched countless reaction videos on their music, and yours have hands down been my favorite. Your reactions are so pure and your enthusiasm is contagious. You mention being autistic and I am assuming you weren’t being facetious; that said, I think it is possibly your place on the spectrum that makes you so endearing and original. You’re not worrying about being cool or how your moves look (and they actually have been perfect and you’d fit in at any rock concert), instead you are hyper focused on feeling the music and immersing yourself in it and your giddiness has made my face hurt from smiling. Keep on the excellent journey you’re on and thank you for allowing us to join you.

  • @biamarrucho8214
    @biamarrucho8214 Před 9 měsíci +39

    I never really leave a comment, but I had to for SOAD. They were an important part of the soundtrack of my teen/early 20s years; them and Linkin Park, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine and many others. I saw them in Rock in Rio forever ago and it was cathartic to say the least. Imagine a crowd of 100k screaming these lyrics with you. I still remember looking at my friends, we all singing together and thinking that was one of the best moments of my life. And honestly it still is. It'll always be.
    Linkin Park was always the group I'd go to to let the problems of my personal life go and System was the one for my indignation of the way society was/is. Both of their lyrics spoke to me a lot and their concerts I've been to were a way for a new me to be born somehow. I would leave them lighter and happier. That's the power of a great rock concert can do to you.
    I hope this road you're going into - of discovering incredible rock music - can lead you to a concert like the ones I've experienced. I absolutely love kpop now and I've been to several concerts, but honestly a good rock concert with a great crowd? Nothing beats it, it's different, believe me. Hopefully you'll dive into more rock and fall in love with the genre and its lyrics, you won't regret it.
    Sorry for the long rant. System does make me nostalgic and I do tend to ramble, so I was bound to leave a gigantic comment, sorry again. Keep up the good work, Teddy!

    @tim6670 Před 9 měsíci +21

    "First hour with" is such a great concept for getting into bands. These were a good mix of what System of a down has to offer as well. Also as you said, rock and metal are often seen as just screaming, with no meaning, which to be fair there is a lot of, but there is also alot of bands with heavy lyrics.
    An hour with Jinjer would be so awesome, as they have so much to offer, and so much variety. 4 tracks i would recommend:
    JINJER - Who Is Gonna Be The One (Live)
    JINJER - Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019)
    JINJER - Judgement (& Punishment) - Tatiana Shmayluk - One Take Vocal Performance
    JINJER - Teacher, Teacher!

    @cynderbueno Před 9 měsíci +8

    Thank you so so so much for doing this! honestly, SOAD has always been one of those groups that I grew up with. Not only the killer vocals and their amazing musicality, but the material of their lyrics is sooooo crazy. Serjs' voice is damn unique and i am really blessed you reacted to Aerials, its probably one of my favorite songs by them. Thank you Tedddyyyyyy ❣🧸
    Honestly, the way I see the meaning for Aerials specifically, is that we are all born the same, we go through all the life experiences, and regardless on how we would like to live our life, what our experiences are, THE SOCIETY represses us to be like everyone else because this is the only way that is acceptable.
    The aerials to me would just be anything outside our common stereotypical way of living, anything that is standing out of everyone else. We look at them, we hope to be them, to be something that isnt reprimanded by the system we live in but it is too far out of our capabilities and courage to be like aerials.
    To me, the song is about longing to be free, free from judgement, from others' perception, but not being able to do so, as we are tied to live according to the system (haha, get it, system) we live in.
    The child in the video kinda refers to it too, being in a circus, but walking around, wanting to do other things, but eventually still ending up at the circus again

    I first heard System of a "Down back" in 2002 & loved their sound within seconds, with each song I heard they sounded better and better!
    I recommend you look into their lyric's more in-depth as they spit so much truth about the hypocrisies in this world.
    * "Prison Song", (by SOAD), is a good one, the statistic's in this song are from the early 2000's so the numbers are much worse now, much much worse. TY for such an enthusiastic reaction, I was happy to see you liked their music, they're a GREAT Band, Cheers [I consider S.O.A.D a Protest Band.]
