Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Sugar by System of a Down

Today's Metal Track is brought to you by System of a Down. This is the first single off of their 1998 debut self-titled album. The band still closes with this song at most of their concerts. While this song was a hit, the band didn't really blow up until their following album Toxicity which was a little more polished and appealed to a broader audience.

The opening scene of the news anchor rant in the video is a reenactment of the 1976 satirical film Network. Due to the controversial nature of the video, it received little airplay. Some channels were forced to only play the video after 10pm.
