Oh come on, there's endless fun in the 90s rock scene. Everyone who can't dance to Floyd The Barber doesn't know how to party.

System Of A down are a great band. Loved the first three albums. Hopefully we get some new music this year. Love this song

Never was a fan. Always sounds to me like pretty generic high school metal played at the same thrashing stop-and-start tempo with unintelligible vocals and singing about the same kind of topics over and over again, with a bit of pseudo prog metal pretentiousness thrown in. Maybe it's just not my thing. :/

SOAD are indeed tremendous at times, but best band since the 80's? No. Best metal band since the 80's? Possibly.Them or Tool in my opinion.

Can we revisit your comments on Faith No More though! Crap? Seriously? Im guessing you're a youngster. FNM were pioneers of the rap/rock genre, and nailed it like no other band has done since. Tracks like From Out Of Nowhere, Falling To Pieces, The Morning After, The Real Thing, Midlife Crisis, Everythings Ruined,Digging The Grave, What A Day....classic after classic. Mike Patton was/is a tremendous talent, as were the rest of the band. They managed to fuse rage and melody seamlessly, creating massive choruses in the process....you'd probably be surprised as to how many other great bands they influenced, even if these bands sound nothing alike.

Funnily enough, I just checked out SOAD's influences...and hey, you guessed it, Mike Patton. Go revisit FNM, starting with The Real Thing. My guess is you just werent listening properly ;)
