About This Track
“The Metro” was System of a Down’s first cover, performed in 1995 on their Untitled 1995 Demo tape. This version of the song was slowed to a crawl and had a dark moody sense of playing.
Re-recorded by the band for their Demo Tape 4 in 1997, it became less moody and truer to the Berlin original, as the tempo was increased.
A third version was sped up greatly and Daron Malakian lent his vocals in parts, appearing on System of a Down’s “Lonely Day” maxi single as “
Metro”. That version also appears on the soundtracks for Dracula 2000 and Not Another Teen Movie.
An unofficial video was available on the band’s website. Malakian has said on many occasions that his band could have done the song better, but the chances of a new version are low as the band is on “indefinite hiatus”.

the fact that I know the original, ruins this. I know that if I wasn't subconsciously comparing it I would adore this.
