http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/no_system_of_a_down_reunion.html Shit... I'm kinda in shock right now. I didn't really expect it for some reason, but it does seem like they might really be done.
Sad but Daron always wanted to be SOAD's leadsinger but he never succeeded so I suppose that's why he wants to start a new band.
Nah, hiatus was announced last year, or even the year before?. And they basically said at the time that they will get back together.
Ah yes, I've actually read the article. Makes sense now. Not the biggest SOAD fan but I reckon they've gone as far as they could without drastically changing their style. A bit similar to the likes of Soundgarden and RATM in that sense. They're ending it without releasing a really shithouse album.
Yea that's the only upside to it. SOAD never disappointed me with any of their releases. Pretty unique band though, and they really believed in a lot of the stuff in their songs, so it's disappointing nonetheless.
It may sound callus, but thank god, i never liked them, however i thought they died of a year ago or something, I haven't heard anything from them since the terrible song: B.Y.O.B.
You have to hear more than one song though. Chop Suey, Lonely Day, Aerials. If you get bored enough to bother, I think those are worth checking out, for someone who doesn't know much of them.
Personally, I think they made it pretty clear that "hiatus" means "breakup" nowadays. When they announced it, I knew they were finished. It's a shame, but the world will survive
Yeah, i phrased my post wrong, sorry about that, i meant that was the last song i heard from them, previously I'd listened to their toxicity album..
They pretty much just took what he said from this MTV article a little out of context. He never said they were officially "done", it would just be a long time before they ever did anything again. I'm pretty sure if Scars On Broadway doesn't do very well, we'll be seeing a SOAD reunion sooner than we think, imo. Who knows, though. Only time will tell if they ever get back together.
It'd be a shame if they split but to be honest their music was beginning to get a little too predicatable. I dunno about the rest of you guys but I thought Hypnotize was a load of shit. Every album up until Mesmerize was decent but Hypnotize just killed it though.
I won't hold my Breath But i also won't Lose hope of a Reunion. They just wanna do their own stuff For a while. Like Serj said. If there is something they want to get together and Say. They'll do it. but Currently there isn't And i was happy with Serj's solo album so i'm not Down
I like all their albums, but Hypnotize easily comes in last... I'd like to believe they have more to offer though.
Their last two releases didn't really do much for me unlike ST/Toxicty/Steal This Album, so cant say I'm bothered if they didn't make anymore music.
