SOAD played Ozzfest 97 on the main stage.

[edit]

They were on the main stage along with Coal Chamber. They were very reminiscent of Rage. 167.224.147.166 (talk) 03:43, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Genres

[edit]

System of a Down isn't Hard Rock as it is not a form of loud, aggressive rock music, but purely metal. It's not progressive metal either, they don't have any track that is composed in a "progressive" way. Nu Metal and Alt Metal are more relevant and enough to describe them Thomsah (talk) 08:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The line "Like Mezmerize, it debuted at No. 1 in the U.S., making System of a Down, along with The Beatles and rappers 2Pac and DMX, the only artists ever to have two studio albums debut at No. 1 in the same year." Should be updated to include Taylor Swift as she joined this list in 2020.

Maybe something like "Like Mezmerize, it debuted at No. 1 in the U.S., making System of a Down, along with The Beatles, rappers 2Pac and DMX, and Taylor Swift, the only artists ever to have two studio albums debut at No. 1 in the same year.

But instead of having this line be a history of all artists that have ever had two number one albums in the same year, it would probably be best to time bound it.

"Like Mezmerize, it debuted at No. 1 in the U.S. With this release, System of a Down joined The Beatles and rappers 2Pac and DMX as the fourth artist ever to have two studio albums debut at No. 1 in the same year." Csarkrasc (talk) 18:38, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid reference

[edit]

The claim that the name comes from a poem called "Victims of a Down" is sourced to https://web.archive.org/web/20100220180824/http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=512654515&blogId=526325472, but I spent a while reading through the many blurry newspaper scans there and didn't find anything mentioning it. There are a lot of them and some are hard to read, so I may have missed it, but they are almost all just reviews of shows that really don't seem like they would have had access to this information or the space to print it. Someone should eventually find it on that page (and mention where in the ref!), replace the reference with a more manageable one, or delete the information.
