wh00t Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Lycos 50Oct 29 2001 October 29, 2001 System of a Down Moves Up They're wacky! They're complex! They're Armenian! They're one of themost popular rock bands with Lycos users right now. They're the LosAngeles-based art-metal quartet System of a Down. For the last few weeks, System of a Down has received more searchesthan currently-dormant Lycos 50 mainstays like Limp Bizkit and Korn.This week they stand as the #5 most-searched rock band. System of a Down is riding a wave of interest based on their newalbum Toxicity and their single "Chop Suey," the video for which ison MTV roughly every eight minutes. The band is known for beingpolitical, and for being Armenian. They're very proud and vocal abouttheir heritage. The band's music itself is pretty complex, much more so than theangry rap-rock bands they seem to be associated with. It's a stew ofaggressive guitars, intricate time signature shifts, and dreamymelodic passages with ethnic Mediterranean underpinnings. Sort of across between Tool and Minor Threat, stuck in Egypt. System of a Down is on tour with two other groups we've written aboutat the Lycos 50 - Slipknot and Mudvayne. The tour is called "Pledgeof Allegiance." Believe it or not, they came up with that name beforeSeptember 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
