0:38 that dance is so amazing

I wish this was as popular as Chop Suey. Newcomers need to know that this is the real backbone of System Of A Down

Serj always stood out vocally. When singing harsher his voice didn't just sound like every other metal frontmans

for those who want their guitar to sound like this: set your guitar's tone knob to like 75%, and switch to the neck pickup (if its a humbucker in the neck). amp settings should be around 2 o clock for the bass, 11oclock for the mids, 10 o clock for the treble

Anti-war songs are always fire

THIS BAND NEED ONE MORE ALBUM!

i get chills every time the "we don't speak anymore of war" comes in. This has to be one of their greatest songs ever

Fun fact this is the demo version of the song being played. I kinda prefer it over the official release tbh.

0:37 dank moves Serj

0:38 Serj the best dancer in the world

I listen to a lot of extreme metal, but it doesn’t get madder than this. They’re genuinely mad with righteous anger in this song, it’s more powerful than any “flesh-churning” deathmetal.

Every fucking song they wrote still applies today

"Praise the lord, pass the ammunition, God wants you to go to war." -The Plot of every Call of Duty game

0:37, Let's do : the Serj!

I was 14 years old when i hear this song for the first time, today 28.03.2024 still listening to it. What a band, what an era man. Killing nostalgia

2:52 Oh dam,that last growl gets me everytime!!The whole song is lit 🔥 🔥!!

i love EVERYTHING about this band

why is this song not more popular?

The energy of this song is INSANE.

Stand strong 🇦🇲 from 🇬🇷

Am i the only one who likes this guitar tone more than the original guitar tone on the album?

Their most raw and powerful era.

For those who’d like to follow along: Dark is the light The man you fight With all your prayers, incantations Running away, a trivial day Of judgment and deliverance To whom was sold, this bounty soul A gentile or a priest? Who victored over, the Seljuks When the holy land was taken We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens Was it the riches, of the land Powers of bright darkness That lead the noble, to the East To fight the heathens We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens No, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens No, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens We must call upon our bright darkness Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked For you must enter a room to destroy it No international security No call of the righteous man Needs a reason to kill man History teaches us so The reason he must attain Must be approved by his God His child, partisan brother of war Of war, we don't speak any more of war We don't speak any more of war We don't speak any more of war We don't speak anymore We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens No, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens No, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens (All credit goes to SOAD)

If you are here listening to this there is still hope for you bro!

This is so fucking weird. Usually music videos that feature live performances just dub the studio version over the live footage, but this is raw live audio. Just shows how authentic these guys are. I really wish they'd get back together...

My parents played this song for me when I was in my mom's womb. I'm so lucky to have metal head parents

"Praise the lord! Pass the ammunition!" That line is so powerful, even in his solo song which is "lighter" in comparison to War

The demo version sounds like it has a grunge effect, really cool.

2:19. NUTELAAAA!!!!!!

I love how every soad album has it's own feel but the same unbridled anger and technical fury is present in all of them.

Serj's voice is so full of righteous anger. That's why I love SOAD so much. It transcends sound and reaches the very depths of your being. (This song and their first album are an experience on Acid or Speed)

I remember being around 10-12 yo, playing PS1 game called Apocalypse, staring Bruce Willis in it and this song playing in like 5th lvl in some futuristic city on huge screens. I loved system of a down since then!

0:38 DO THE SERJ

0:38 - Everybody do the Serj! *Everybody instantly spasms like Serj*

i hope for a time whereby this amazing song is irrelevant to humanity

I would like my generation be fans of SOAD 😪

fuck thats one meaty guitar tone

dude if this is the live version of this song, holy shit it sounds so much better than the original track!

This and Holy Wars by Megadeth came to my mind as the Israel conflict broke out. Truly sad situation

Serj's vocals just vibrate at 2:25, fucking brutal compared to the studio one

No, it's not war, it's surprise democracy

I like this version more than the album one

SOAD is such a special band in my eyes there will never be such a nostalgic band as SOAD

If Serj wasn't on stage he'd just be one of those guys jacked up on shrooms flailing their arms around in a psychedelic dance...

thats why i love this band, they dont need to headbang a shit to blast your ass. they dance and laugh at this genre.

What version is this? This isn't the album version. Also incredible song. Perfect in every way. Better than the album version.

Showed this music video to my grandpa i didn't know he was such a big soad fan he started moshing on the floor as soon as he saw it!

Wow what a live performance! This is true music when you can out perform the studio copy!

the beggining gave me goosebumps, so powerful and creepy.

Back here again are we all ?

0:16 my cat at 3AM xD

This is real hardcore rock music. Fuck all the other shit that they put on TV.

Serj should open up dance classes lol

WE WILL FIGHT THE HEATHENS🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

still relevant, look at the chaos happening today.

Me listening to this music during the WW3

I love this version so much more then the album version

Who is here before ww3? Edit: Yeah no ww3 luckily Edit 2.0: Bruh survived 2020 2022 pls stop

did he fight the heathens yet?

Listening to this again now cuz yea

"Praise the Lord! Pass the ammunition!!" That line always cracks me up

What an amazing band back in the day. Saw them live three times back in the late nineties and early two thousands. Such powerful energy to witness live. I took Darren's shoe in denver. 🙂🙃

A classic from SOAD. Not so popular, but freaking awesome.

Greetings from Poland, Oct. 27th 2020.

I love daron in it, and serj`s dances are always amazing

The message is really strong here. I love this song.

love the sound of this demo! much better than the album version

I always find myself running around my yard after this song! Poor neighbors.😂

Absolutely in love with these guys and their music ! My all time favourite band !!!

2:32 ...in the late 90s when you had to spend a considerable amount of time downloading a 30 second video clip. I saw this track from 2:32 and was convinced, went out and bought the album, I was hooked on SOAD immediately. Fantastic album.

Way better than the album version.

Listening this in Armenia while actually started war here. #ArstakhStrong

Twenty One Pilots: All my friends are heathens take it slow... S.O.A.D. : WE WILL FIGHT THE HEATHENS, WE WILL FIGHT THE HEATHENS

0:52 Was I the only one who thought he said "Bulbasaur" when I first heard this?

My dad would roll up with me in the front seat with this just blasting, I'd be head banging getting out in like 5th grade and I was super made fun of. Now though I be belting out some system lyrics from their more obscure songs and people I work worth surprisingly often know the songs and we jam for a sec, not as often as I'd like but it happens and it's awesome. A point of pain is now a source of connection. Life is funny that way

This a really underrated track, most of their songs from this album were very forgotten.

Round and round we go.

Serj has some sweet moves lol

WE WILL FIGHT FAJITAS WE WILL FIGHT FAJITAS!

SERJ HAD SO MUCH ENERGY

The very first concert I went to as a teenager was to see System of a Down, still hands down one of the best shows I have been to. SOAD's and Serj's music changed my way of thinking. Woke me up to how the world really is.

This one is better than the studio version on spotify. If only it was better quality

We don’t speak any more of war…

I sense other big dawg soad fans here.. glad we still here

this is much cooler than the album version

this has way more energy than the album version

Why couldn't they just release this version of the song! 😩😩 its 10x better than the album version, it has 0 Serj screams and makes a loud angry song sound like a bed time story

Today this video is 14 years old, but still insane!

I am only 31 years old but I like this song.

I Miss old System ..

Рекомендации ютуба - вещь очень непредсказуемая..... А песня в 2022, неожиданно, актуальна.....

Serj Tankian destroying his lungs just for an interesting intro is amazing

I was listening to this as 11-S unfolded, it will always take me back.

Esta versión esta increíble por el sonido de la guitarra mas pesada.

Here because of the war

i love the punk rock energy from a metal band

*well, here we go again.*

This song makes me want to dance around like Bruce Willis during the Apocalypse.

I like this tone better for this song, it complements the drums really well and makes the song more raw and heavy. Also the screams are a nice addition, again making the song more raw sounding.
