Serj Tankian, Tony Iommi & Cesar Gueikian as the Gibson Band

A preview. Am I supposed to be excited?

I f***ing hate the vocals.

Sounds like the singer is trying to do Ozzy.

This is going to do Gibson more damage than good.

Gueikian is doing a Henry J here.

He should have kept his schoolboy dream to play with Iommi, to himself.

I'd rather hear Henry J than this.

Oh well, maybe the Epiphone Band will be better.  :mrgreen:

The riff could have been a great mid-70ies Sabbath song. Where is Ozzy when you need him? He could have done something with it, he was always tuneful if monotonous.

Even to this day, Ozzy is a little underrated, IMO.  In his prime, he was stellar.  Yes, he definitely could have done something with this.

I haven't listened to it, but a band with two Armenians is pretty cool.

Ok, I got about 90 seconds in and had to stop.  The vocals are awful.

I agree, that is a nice riff, but the vocals? They remind me some people in my homeland that are selling groceries or fish from their old trucks, driving slow in village streets and shouting their stuff through really bad quality megaphones. No, just no.
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

Reminds me of Ethel Merman trying to do hard rock.

I definitely support Armenia.  It's just I don't much like the vocals to this song.  It's really that simple.  But as far as I know, no one involved with the song is getting anything out of it financially.  So I guess there is something to be said for that.  But you like what you like and you dislike what you dislike.  I was very critical of the so-called new Beatles song, for instance, in spite of being a Beatles fan.
