See, there you go... 🙂 he actually knows 😁.

Andrew Williams...

You have a phenomenal trilogy on this album! Argh, it's good, but it doesn't even touch Something Wicked...! And seriously, just take the damn CD, put it in, and hit play. Skip "When the Eagles Cries," "Declaration Day," and that weak intro, then just listen to the album! I was a bit hesitant at first and didn't want to give it a chance, but I've grown to love it today, especially the track Attila the Hun! and the trilogy 🙂

p.s. I’m calling you an idiot because it’s obvious you're being narrow-minded; just relax and listen! LISTEN! LISTEN! Seriously, LISTEN!! Stop overthinking it! 🙂
btw, I've got tickets to their show in Detroit if you're interested, my PM is always open 🙂.. 🙂

Bryan Barrett said:Anyway, you're better off just listening to Nevermore... 😁 isn't that right, Justin Taylor?
(plus, they basically call the US government pigs in their songs anyway)

The System

Injustice made its mark
All the political whores only come out after dark
If anyone knows the way
Build me a bridge so I won't fall astray

The System, The System my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies

The System falls apart
The pigs still laugh feeding off our broken lives
Can anyone tell me why
Some violent criminals do far less time?

The System, I live my life—doesn't matter what I've done
The government's always right
They tell us what to be, they tell us what to believe
They're wrong, my friend is gone

@Kenneth Edwards3/">@@Kenneth Edwards3 THE Hunter
I'll give it a shot... for old times' sake, I'll try.

And check this out:

Optimist Or Pessimist

the optimist understands why the world's gone down the drain
the pessimist never bends, constricting thoughts in vain
from the pessimist's point of view there's nothing we can do
as I paint this picture gray and taste the pain
I'll play the optimist
...
if you want to change the world, forget it
the future's not in our hands
if you want to change the world, forget it
the cops already set in
(pessimist)

----------------------
Garden Of Gray

And live the Politics of Ecstasy

----------------------
Politics Of Ecstasy

I hate you, the cops who turn the screws, I hate everything you stand for
I hate the world we've bred, political cops we've fed,
our fathers left us nothing but a dead world
...
The cops are fueled by greed, political ways obscene,
our fathers left corruption in this dead world
Beyond repair down is despair, our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the puke of their industry, regurgitated propaganda ministry

😁 😁 😉 (plus a bunch of other references where they don't explicitly say cops)

Man... I actually teared up hearing how that thing sounds. That vocalist's wailing is just unbearable after Barlow 🙏. And then there are those forced lyrical themes... 🙂 it's honestly pathetic. I'm terrified we're watching yet another legendary band fade into history.
Barlow 🙏 please, just come back!

Warrel Dane was a god when it came to lyrics🙏 🙏

Nevermore - seed Awakening
There’s no high quite like reality

Owens sucks!👎

New album🙂 !!!

I don't know what the hell is wrong with Schafer—why is everyone so hyped about the worst IE record ever? If this was the peak, what are we supposed to expect from the new one? It’s meant to be his magnum opus, a sort of successor to horror show, right?
And Barlow wasn't exactly a genius frontman anyway, especially after he left to become some low-rent hack writer... but mark my words, he'll be back.

That said, IE are legends—I've never fallen for a band this fast... hopefully, better days are ahead.

Until then, System of a Down🙂 and Children of Bodom🙂 🙂 🙂 !!!

btw, what's the name of the guy singing for System of a Down? The guy is a BEAST!!!!

Zachary Kern69 said:By the way, does anyone know the name of the guy who sings for System of a Down? That dude is an absolute beast!!!!

Pretty sure it's Serj Tankian (checked on Google and it's him) 😁

Bryan Barrett said:I'm pretty sure Serj Tankian (which is basically common knowledge on Google) 😁

You think? You THINK? That's not even a question! If I call you up at 3 AM and ask who the frontman for System of a Down is, you better answer: "100% SERJ!"

Without him, System wouldn't be half as legendary. SEEEEERRRJJJJJJ RULLLEEEZZZZ. AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT? I'm right.

Andrew Williams said:You think? You THINK? That’s not even a question! If I call you up at one in the morning and ask who sings for System of a Down, you better answer immediately: "It's 100% Serj!"

If it wasn't for him, System wouldn't be half as good as they are. SEEEEERRRJJJJJJ RULLLEEEZZZZ. AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT? I'm right.

I mean, obviously his name is Serj, geeez 🙄 how could you forget that 😁
it’s just those Armenian last names that trip people up... like, he went by Tankian for like six months back in the day, right? 😛

hm, yeah, System of a Down....
who cares about 😁

They were actually pretty solid... 🙄 🙂

If they weren't half as good without the vocals, then honestly, without him and the drummer, they wouldn't even be a quarter of what they are... 😁
And man, without him, the guitarist would just go totally off the rails.

You guys were always great, and honestly, you still are... 🙂

But now, does this guy go by Serj, Sergei, or some other name I can't quite remember...

Azgagoth, Shathret, Insahn, Euronymous, Varg... 🙄 😁

I’ve been listening to them a bit more often lately, so I think I know my stuff 🙄 😁

Which one is this second one?
Also, the first one isn't Azgagoth, it's actually Azagtoth 🙂

I don't really know... 🤣 I think I heard it somewhere once...
...
typo 😁 you're probably the expert on this stuff 😛

but hey, maybe we should just switch up the topic 😁

Bryan Barrett said:Typo? 😁 You're probably the expert on that one! 😛

Hmm, true. 🙄 😁

Man, dead Heart in a dead World by Nevermore is absolute perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was honestly about to go tear into them on their official site, but they went ahead and shut down the forum...

....man, oh man, Schafer...🙂

ishamael said:....man, oh Schaffer....🙂

Nah, Schaffer isn't Ivo Lončar.

Honestly? No clue what that's even supposed to mean.
