Elders React To System Of A Down Videos

(Metal Hammer) System Of A Down have been exposed to pensioners' judgment in the latest Elders React video. Serj Tankian and co's videos for Chop Suey and Sugar were shown to a panel of pensioners - who were then asked what they think about their music.

Their reactions ranged from, "They're scary looking," "I wouldn't give them a penny" and "There's no beauty in it" to "It gives me energy and it gets me moving" and "It's like a release of frustration."

System Of A Down's sound left a lot to be desired among the elders panel. But frontman Tankian's "anti-establishment" lyrical message and commitment to raising awareness of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 received the silver surfers' seal of approval.

One man adds: "It's extremely important if that's their message. I'm the son of a Holocaust survivor, so I get the importance of the Armenian Genocide - but it doesn't have to be pounded into your head!"

One woman says: "Whatever it takes to get it recognised is not a bad thing." Watch the video here.
