System of a Down vs. Marilyn Manson – Classic Cage Match

System of a Down can smell it. They're one final victory away from reaching the Loudwire Classic Cage Match Hall of Fame with their 2001 smash hit 'Chop Suey.' The track just bested Deftones' 'Back to School (Mini Maggit)' for its third straight victory. But can the frenetic song earn one more victory?

The band has a formidable opponent as Marilyn Manson, who is already a Classic Cage Match Hall of Famer, enters with the 2001 single 'The Fight Song.' This classic track from the 'Holy Wood' album is filled with aggression and Manson swagger as the guitars hit you with fury.

So give the two tracks a listen in the players provided. These both deserve to be played at full blast. Then tell us which is your favorite by voting for either System of a Down's 'Chop Suey' or Marilyn Manson's 'The Fight Song' in the poll below.
