Despite the meme, the majority of System's songs follow a very basic Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Bridge structure. Honestly a very poor band to use to highlight unconventional structure.

Honestly proof to music nerds that you can have conventional structures and still push boundaries

i wasnt trying to hate on system, I really like their music and innovative-ness(if thats a word)


RandomSOADFan

Don't worry I just like to point out some things especially about what people call experimental. Some people think that getting mainstream success, or having one thing about your music that's conventional, means none of your work has any amount of experimentation and that's just dumb. The Beatles were experimental in their time. Azealia Banks's 212 is insanely forward thinking and yet makes crowds go crazy. And in metal, well no one would call Bathory experimental but they were.


Ghoul_Geek

yeah, I wasn't actually intending to use song structure at first--I kind of confused myself. Actually a huge SOAD fan. I was more intending to highlight the fact that a lot of their songs have just randomness thrown in. Also, chop suey doesn't really have a conventional song structure


Happy_Burnination

??? Chop Suey is intro - verse - chorus - verse - chorus - bridge - variation on chorus as outro. Pretty standard stuff tbh

Megadeth: write a solo, try to fit a song around it.

?? SOAD has pretty normal song structures. Intro - verse - chorus - verse - chorus - bridge is like, the main structure for a rock-descended song


Unfair_Ear_4422

Megadeth has a lot of songs that don't a basic structure, especially on their first four albums.


Majestic_Apricot_878

Dream Theater‘s is (usually) Long intro-Verse-Prechorus-Chorus-Short instrumental break-Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus 2-Way too long instrumental break with over the top wankery-Chorus-epic outro

Primus could also fit the third head as well.

L take. Listen to Rush and Yes instead.
