I’d like to point out how varied the riffs are. Some are hard hitting fast and repetitive, some are slow and ponderous, some are acoustic and sweet, and some are just weird. That’s why I love SOAD so much. They do it all.

[krymore]

When you realise that he essentially played the whole SOAD discography... They had 5 albums and 66

[Anbar]

THE TRANSITION FROM HYPNOTIZE TO REVENGA IS GOLD

[magicalotterlion]

Okay let's be real, we all love how SOAD blended middle eastern music with metal and made it work beautifully.

[randymora]

This is the guy who made me wanna listen to systems weirder and more hyper songs

[danik]

Daron: Such a lonely d-...
Andrea: LA LALA LALALA LALA

[jordantalks]

can we all appreciate how good of a drummer JOHN IS!?!?!?!?!? so

[mujari]

The good thing about system of a down for guitar and bass players especially when first starting out, their songs arent hard, like at all. They're iconic and simple and fun to play

Just from hearing the riffs on these songs, you can tell how special SOAD really is. So much diversity and creativity.

[jacenabbott]

when he sings in his upper octave... jesus. the skill this man posses not only to be able to do most of those rifts off memory AND sing... wowzers.

[TheManiac]

Me: Waiting for my g-

This dude: Waiting for my sweet revenge

Me: WOW

[FernandoFernandez_]

The transition from Hypnotize to Revenga was beautiful, masterful, perfect, there are hardly words to describe such awesomeness.

[Metacore]

Holy Mountains has such a killer riff. Definetly my favourite.

[KingGooseNeck]

These guys are truly musical geniuses. Every album differs so much from each other, however they all sound like system of a down. Every single track can take you on a completely different ride and make you want to think more about how this world really is. It is Just outstanding what this band has done with their music to provide entertainment to some people and inspiration for others.

[steelhorse_v]

This guy is a real genius. Every time I listen to the original song by System of Down, I realize that he extracted only the most impressive essences from it and connected them smoothly to make this video. No ordinary person could do that. It's just amazing.

[grumpyboi]

I was waiting for: Cigaro, Violent Pornography, and Lost In Hollywood. when he played them all together back to order, a single tear just rolled down mah cheek.

[OfficialXivil]

System Of A Down is such an amazing band. The riffs are actually pretty simple, but the way they use these riffs is just mindblowing. An outstanding band!

[ianblake]

First of all, you're a mad man for covering SOAD... but it worked. The transition from Hypnotize to Revenga was amazing :P "waiting for, MY SWEET REVENGE" lmao, had me geeking. The end of the video was brilliant, too. Well done all around, my friend -- Serj and Daron just shed a tear.

[Mistophant]

Man those vocals were spot on, great job man ! Serj is not an easy man to impersonate.

[zeeker]

That transition at 7:24 was incredible!
