    I love everything about SOAD. It's the first metal band that I've listened to, and their sound is so unique! I love Serj's voice. He can go from soothing to powerful, and then back, like it's the easiest thing. John Dolmayan is a beast, and his groove is something that a lot of drummers aren't able to achieve.
    Rick's analysis are always on point; I really loved the part where he isolated the vocals with the piano and strings!

    It's a great song, I thought one part was played with only pull-offs. Saw a tab before and my fingers weren't strong enough to play it.
    I saw one of the Metallica "What Makes this Song Great?" videos. It's how I heard Cliff Burton's Bass playing, he talked about the bass not following the guitars or something. I thought it was interesting. Been listening to disco music lately o_O
