Serj Tankian is emerging as one of my favorite vocalists so far on this journey of experiencing metal music (don't worry, Ronnie James Dio is still in my top spot!) He brings so much emotion and technique to his performances, and getting to see him perform live with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra made this treat even more sweet!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Serj Tankian live for the first time, performing "Empty Walls” with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.

One thing of note, they had 4th album Mesmerize released 6 months before its companion album hypnotize. The pace and signature of the last song on the first cd is mirrored (in reverse) on the first song on the 2nd cd.

That part where Serj tell the audience to sing along, I think most of the audience was holding back because it was an Orchestra and you know, during Orchestra plays you're supposed to remain in silence.

In 98 I saw SOAD at a small venue The Blue Note in Columbia MO. They were the opening band of the. After they were done playing they set up a table at the entrance. They were selling there demo album with first album on it's way. I talked to Serj for about a half hour couldn't believe how great they were. Serj was one of the kindest humble person I ever met. I was like you guys are going to be famous. Serj said thank you that is very kind. We are trying but time will tell. Wasn't long after that and they were all of the radio and playing huge shows. Wish I still had the signed demo album they sold me for $8.00. I must of played that album a 1000 times.

@UncleSarkis 9 месяцев назад

He could be referring to the Armenian genocide in this song.

@PlyrMava. 6 месяцев назад

@@UncleSarkisI've always interpreted the song as being about general war in the middle east, but specifically Afghanistan and Iraq. The US government are responsible for millions of deaths of innocent people--women, children, families--in a bloody decade and the message from the Americans ignored the bloodshed. Like it was nothing.

@polrua Год назад

The Auckland version of 'Lie, Lie, Lie' is a real ride. One thing that has always struck me with Serj/SoaD from 'Chop Suey' on is the ability to make sudden and dramatic shifts in tone and tempo. With almost anyone else, this would be discordant, and feel like trying to awkwardly mash a bunch of entirely different songs together, but he/they have always been able to pull it off seamlessly. With most of their work, they'll do it from verse to verse, but 'Lie Lie Lie' does it almost from line to line, jumping back and forth across genres, pitches and tones seemingly at random, while managing to draw it all together somehow into a seamless whole. It's a hell of a feat.

@JBGC916 Год назад

This has got to be a culture thing. Serj says his gma would sing to him w a native inflection even it was baby songs or pop music. His style is so unique thanks to his hard work and Babba!

@stephantom8237 Год назад

@@JBGC916 Sudden and dramatic shifts in tone and tempo is definitely a hallmark of “nu metal” as well though. SOAD is arguably the very best of the genre (the only other contender would probably be Korn) but that dynamism was very trendy (and I don’t mean that pejoratively) in say 97-2002 when SOAD became mainstream.

@Goromatsu01 Год назад

Agree, lie lie lie is an amazing ride. I've not listened to Serg for a while and I had forgotten just how much range and stage presence he has.

@Wired4Reality Год назад

I'll repeat what others have said: watch the music video. It elicits such a high level of emotions - from profound sadness to white-hot anger that resonates on such a deep level. It really is a work of art.

@modredastal1644 Год назад

I've always loved Serj's voice, but gotten the impression critics of vocals would judge its unique qualities harshly. It's wonderful to hear her talk about how much she loves it. (And holy fuck this performance is amazing. I hadn't seen it.)

@upsidedownpyramid7617 Год назад

I originally fell for it when I was listening back when I was about 13 for the first time, but I always knew it was uniquely nasally and could be a bit hard to swallow. Someone like Pete Loeffler of Chevelle or Maynard James Keenan from Tool have different styles, but equally unique approaches. All amazing singers, they have enough nasality to be unique, but not annoying. On the other end I have never been a fan of the vocals in ACDC strangely enough, that style isn't my favorite thing, talented as the singer may be

@Ryuga-2015 Год назад

No doubt his voice is still really good, but his voice back then was monstrous. That’s what time does though.

@ashscott6068 Год назад

@@Ryuga-2015 It's not time. Sounding like Squidward, is a conscious choice he made. He WANTS to sound that way now.

@pippo9830 11 месяцев назад

@ashscott6068 no he doesn't. It's clear that his warm deep tone is long gone, you can hear the change in his voice since late 2002/2003 and in the 2005 albums. He has learned some techniques in order to compensate for that change. In 2005 he wasn't almost able to make the screams and growls of the debut album anymore, even if he tried (that's why in the last 2 soad albums you can hear him screaming high notes but no growls if I remember correctly) That's how his voice has changed and how he decided to cope with it

@XxC00LKiD05xX Год назад

May i suggest you check out “Lie Lie Lie” from this performance. The entire symphony is great but that track definitely showcases his insane range so well. Us Serj/SOAD fans can vouch for it. Serj is just an absolute machine and unit of a voice and that video definitely showcases it. Plus, his energy in it is so fun, and engaging. Just a good showing of who Serj is.

As often said in this comment section, Rains of Castamere with him live is a master peace. Beside that, a real gem is "Bari Arakeel" in armenian language with his father. This, even I don't understand a single word, is such heart warming...very much recommended.

Arakeel in Armenian means Storck, which is a common symbol of homeland for Armenians, love and piece (storks return to their nests every year)... Simply put, it is a song longing for homeland and prosperity, and freedom. Armenian folk songs often have the sad feeling to them

You gonna love Gate 21, it's just him playing the piano. A masterpiece.

Gravitas and melancholy… amazing piece and your insights are as always, on point! Thank you!

Serj has been one of my favourite vocalists since System of a down - toxicity album released. I love the emotions he can integrate in his singing. If that makes any sense.

An absolutely wonderful performance by Serj Tankian. I really recommend watching the Video of the studio version, as the video has extremely powerful imagery.

YES!!! finally! Both my favourite live performance, and my favourite album!

I have listened to system of a down since a very young age. I am now almost 31 years old and a LOT of the songs he has sung over the years still hit me right in the feels... This is one of those songs..... ...War is a terrible thing.... Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate, and full of yearning? Dying of anticipation. Choking from intoxication.... I want you to be left behind those empty walls.

I love seeing you nerd out to Serj. I've had a really tough day and nothing has kept my attention but this. And you are really good at it, thanks!

I’m so glad you listened to his solo stuff also so much emotion in all of his songs.

If you ever get the chance to interview serj you won't be disappointed. Hes extremely intelligent and kind and personable. One of the best people to interview

Great orchestral performance of this great song, didn’t know this! One of the best voices in rock and metal! Nice reaction! 👍🤘

@FreeformThoughts804 Год назад

Serj has gotta be up there with one of the best voices in rock as a frontman or soloist! His voice is amazing!

@logankerlee Год назад

This performance made me become very emotional. It broke me down to tears early on, long before it did you. Serj's talent is amazing and his songs are touching. Thank you for deciding to cover this performance. I really enjoyed this! :) You rock Elizabeth, Thanks!

Hiya Elizabeth! I feel it's just the most appropriate time right now for a reaction vid to "Soldier Side." It's a beautiful, gritty & very realistic song & I'm sure it'll hit you & everyone in a very REAL way. With the war in Ukraine & still skirmishes between Armenia & Azerbaijan, which is a lasting standoff from the war they had over Artsakh, Karabakh in 2020. It's such a mess with Armenian POW's still being held by Azerbaijan & ongoing war crimes against the Armenians in that region. Well now Turkey, the EU, US, France & Russia are all involved in it too. You see, Azerbaijan has just recently taken aggressive actions & is invading Armenia proper, by advancing into Armenian lands close to the border. I'm sure there's going to be another war coming up soon! :/ But anyway here's a link to a vid of "Soldier Side," which SOAD had a limited release of, back when the cds were released & is uploaded on another channel. Let's also see if you pick up on some Armenian sounding melodies in this song as well. ta, cheers. :) ps: as recommended by many, BYOB is another really great one as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T8YluAMCRT8.html

weeeeeeee!!!!!! I luv luv luv your SOAD reaction vids! 💓

@DrunkenGaladial Год назад

It is so amazing to watch someone who can't possibly have had a more different lifepath react so emotionally to music that has had such an impact on my own life. Every video I watch on this channel brings a tear to my eye.

@vanwerkhoven Год назад

I'm so glad to see you do this version; in your own time I highly recommend checking out the whole album from this live stage, as there are some amazing tracks on it. I personally recommend Lie Lie Lie, he has great audience participation, some fascinating vocal tricks, and really amusing facial expressions.

@davidtrotter3836 Год назад

You have got to do “lie lie lie”!!! You absolutely need and have to do this from the same performance! Please! ❤️

@YrjoPuska777 Месяц назад

Bit before the middle of the song, when he says "dont waste your time", technically it sounded like he didnt sing the time and stretch it as it should had been, but he doesent waste time singing "time" that way for so long. Pure genius! In my opinion Serj is the greatest rock singer of all time, not only the best singer, but also best lyricist and can write great instruments as well. I ran to the record store the day Toxicity came out and his stuff just does not get old.

@badstar9670 Год назад

Beautiful, I've always really felt his lyrics

@AlaskanMisfit487 Год назад

You should do Jewel - who will save your soul. It’s far from metal, but her vocal skills are amazing. Light and girly, to rock to yodeling. It’s pretty awesome
