@@amurkinamerican1608 You yourself write that their opinions are divided, so how can they make another one? Maybe that's why they don't release anything.
@@amurkinamerican1608they had 3 albums and 2 recent songs.... those two went platinum in the same year.... only to do that I can think of is Tupac and the Beatles. I know there's 2 other bands that did and one other artist but I'm blanking. People forget how huge they were and the impact they made.
For anyone curious, they said they only perform every now and then because thats how they keep it fun, they don't want to do world tours anymore but a few concerts every now and then is fine
The truth is they actually don't get along. There is a power struggle for creativity and main vocalist between Serj and Daron. Serj also has issues with the drummer over major political differences. The drummer is a heavy Trump supporter. Serj has come out saying I am the vocalist, Daron is the guitarist, that's how it is. Rick Rubin commented that he could barely keep the band working together during Toxicity over minor lyrical change debates between Daron and Serj.
@@XXLoderunnerXX Almost everything you've stated is false. While there might be a power struggle for creative output, there is no struggle for main vocals. Serj has literally stated that it was HIS idea for Daron to take on more vocal roles in the band. Also John and Serj are brother-in-laws and have stated multiple times that they are totally fine politically. The entire reason they don't tour a lot is because they are a "legacy" act at this point, and Serj and Daron both have stated they don't really care for touring these days.
Actually, there’s a possibility of tours on other countries in 2025/2026 if things remain as they are right now for the bad. Serj said a couple of days ago
@@Punished-bb3nj dude I can tell on that one comment your entire personality is angry political tweets ? I'm 40 now one gave a fuck about politics when they came out that's why gen X is cooler than you 👍😁
it was then as it is now. The military industrial complex has always been. Making rich people richer and keeping the rats on the wheel. It's not new, it's always been. We're all slaves to the system.
Him dedicating “lonely day” to Joey , hearing “and if you go , I wanna go with you. And if you die, I wanna die with you. Take your hand and walk awayyyy” had me in tears. Kinda hit home with my dad. 😢 #FUCKcancer
love you dude! My mum got that aggressive cancer in 2021 and left this world from something else in 2022. It's a cruel world at times but know you're loved by Great Spirit and those who have gone are forever loved!
"System of a Down, you are truly extraordinary, capable of blending elements of heavy metal, alternative rock, and Armenian music into a unique and explosive mix. Their songs are not only musically powerful, but also deeply socially and politically engaged. Serj Tankian's voice is incredibly versatile, capable of shifting from delicate whispers to powerful screams, while Daron Malakian enriches everything with sharp guitar riffs and memorable melodies. One of the most admirable things about System of a Down is their ability to tackle complex and often uncomfortable topics, such as war, political corruption, and human rights, while maintaining a sound that is both captivating and provocative. Each member of the band contributes with their unique talent, creating a sonic experience that is both overwhelming and reflective. In short, System of a Down is not just a band, but a true cultural movement that continues to inspire and shake the consciences of listeners around the world.
their are one or 2 bands in every generation that are just pure gold, and this is one of them. Pretty much every album is like 95% gold and i mean the other 5% is still great so that shows how good they where, glad they stopped when they did rather than slipping off like other bands do.
The band of your youth? I wasn’t born until ‘84 and I was listening to them when their self titled album released. You had to have already been mid 30s by then.
makin an old man proud to hear you guys again... all of you... after all we have been through... you have come back to bless us with your majestic discord again.. i love you guys
I love it. I saw them three times live in Montreal Canada. This will have to do until they come a little closer to Canada. They are an epic band. Legendary. We still might get some new music in the future. You never know. As long as they keep playing together there is hope. Keep rocking guys.
Man what a stacked setlist! Thanks for uploading this. I'm glad I got to see them on their last big tour since they probably won't do a full tour like that again.
They let ego and business get in the way of an amazing band. This is the true definition of "creative differences" getting in the way of an amazing band. Still glad they can do shows.
Fantástico👏👏👏 nunca perdem a essência, incrível. O serj já está um pouco velho, mas continua com gás e a banda também, embora tantas crises, mas continuam tocando muito 🔥⚡
Há exatos 20 anos, fui apresentado a essa banda que, realmente, foi um divisor de águas na minha vida. Obrigado, Pechicas, meu amigo de infância, por me apresentar a esses artistas incomparáveis! Venham ao Brasil !!!
It's an absolute crime to music that they broke it off in their peak... Imagine having so much to give and never giving it because of money/personal disputes. Unforgivable...
yeah, just because Daron didn't want to accept Serj's songs to be SOAD songs (and didn't want to share song's credit with Serj), so Serj left for his creative freedom. Later on 2010's same thing happened when they tried to reunite, Daron and his ego didn't accept Serj's ideias. So, all we got is these mini tours from time to time.
@@alanbique Bro, its Serj the one that doesnt want to accept Darons creations, Shavo and John doesnt have that problem, is just Serj, he wants to be the only one with the power
@@ArthasTLK01 yeah, Serj went so far as to say that "he changed the arrangements on my songs again" and "I didn't want to create the same album over and over again" in interviews, basically calling Daron mediocre for the whole world to see. It's sad to see so much incredible music potential being thrown in the trash like this.
man i wish they would play Darts live it was the first song of theirs i heard not long before toxicity came out and is still my favorite song of theirs
SOAD defined my high school years. Mesmerize/Hypnotize was THE double album of the 2000s. Sadly, after that time, the rock era quietly faded away as crap like Beiber came out and now it's but a relic. I hope we can experience a resurgence (reSERJence?) of rock music again soon. Tired of today's mediocrity. Hail SOAD!
They are artist whose works have long-term messages. If all musicians where like that, we wouldn't have a ton of garbage, only quality. I hope they will make more songs, but a good song sometime takes time.
Wounds to be healed between band members and a sense of unfinished business. While their legacy endures, it's impossible not to feel that fans missed out on an era where SOAD's music could have been a powerful soundtrack to the world’s ongoing struggles. What a great capture of an amazing concert 😍.
Sinto falta do vocal rasgado gritante do Serj, isso que diferenciava ele dos demais. Gostaria de ir a um show deles. Espero que um dia compareçam em Brasília
20 y/o here recently discovering nu metal and SOAD, and I wish I could watch them performing when they were younger back in their peak (I wasn't even born lol)
I have two thoughts.
1) I'm angry that System is performing and not releasing new songs.
2) I'm glad that System didn't release bad songs and plays only the best.
Nice Take on things.
Like I want new soad music but like what if it is absolutely ass
Wrong, toxicity was a political statement, I know they're divided on it, but they need to make another.

@@YesItsEpic the drummer is a trump supporter and has argued with serj on Twitter multiple times
5 solid albums over 7 years, tbh I’m not interested in new material 20yrs later, their legacy is already cemented
Agreed. Some bands over do it. I’m glad they didn’t now at this point!
The 2 song a year ago were great. Daron is still dropping hits. He's did 80% of their music.
@@weedenhawfThat was 4 years ago…
Facts. I have no bad thoughts to think because everything they put out was straight up greatness
They never made a single bad song... not even close
43:55 jack black jumpscare

Yeah wtf what that 😂
John Just Fucking Kills It on Drums.
He's a conservative
@@Punished-bb3nj And?
@@Soysauce4410 Most soad fans are liberal sissies who turn into a ball when called the wrong pronoun
He sounds great

Спустя годы ничего не меняется, энергета бешенная!!!!
Обожаю Систему за эту энергетику!!!
58:15 rip joey
Amazing
a very unexpected mention
More heartfelt than anything I've ever seen publicly from his own (main) band. Respect to Daron! 🤘
Incredible great performance
Lonely day 😢
SOAD - songs more relevant today than ever.
Them and RATM
It's absolutely insane how they told us everything.. it was right in front of us
it was then as it is now. The military industrial complex has always been. Making rich people richer and keeping the rats on the wheel. It's not new, it's always been. We're all slaves to the system.
This is the worst thread on the video ^

one of the best creative metal bands you will ever see,
"Metal"😂
@@DevilServant11 Imagine trying to gatekeep SOAD. Get a life.
@@taron0 It's not gatekeeping, calling SOAD a Metal band is like calling Deicide a Christian Rock band.
@@DevilServant11 that's a real good comparison :)
We get it you're 11 and haven't taken your burzum shirt off since the pandemic go shower kid @@DevilServant11
That Amish guy on guitar is going places, I can tell.
LOL.
Nice to see that they have begun to break out of their traditional roles; very progressive
Omg I was thinking Amish too
This is Daron Malakian ☝🏻
I thought it was Neil Young for a second

Closest we will get to new System music is Scars on Broadway, and thats good enough for me
One of the best bands in the world killing it for over 20 years.
Wow they are old... and I am too :(
Yes we are all gonna die. Shut up.
We’re getting old buddy…
Shavo is the only one who hasn’t gotten old
Because they were our age when they blew up 😅
@@wisconsinmetalhead684 He looks better and healthier than before.
I love Daron’s Neil Young vibes with those chops and hat. Still sounds amazing. I’m so glad I got to be alive at the same time as SOAD.
This is the best setlist every put together by a band. They have included all their bangers
loved the deep cuts in this one especially CUBErt
great set, i just missed spiders.
@@changaaleikum2954 also old school hollywood
Soil?
The first sick new world has a better set believe it or not. I was at both.

They really did end on a high note. Which doesn’t happen very often at all. Nice to see them come out and do a big show every now and again.
Come to Brazil 🇧🇷
It makes me happy to see them play these old songs again
00:55:10 Chop Suey! & 1:18:10 Toxicity 🔥🔥🔥
They're so good. All of their songs are beautiful bangers. The band of my youth, the music of my generation (class 1984). 🙏
I'm right there with you. Class of 87 💪
They're not that old. Lol
They're definitely not the band of your youth. I graduated in 2000 and was listening to them after I graduated.
The band of your youth? I wasn’t born until ‘84 and I was listening to them when their self titled album released. You had to have already been mid 30s by then.
@@chrisg334so, you were born in ‘84?! That would not make you “Class of ‘84” then, Sir! More like Class of 2001 or 2002.
JOHN IS playing at a high level and is the main reason they sounds as good as they do in this performance. But honestly they all sound great
That’s what I thought too. He’s really mixing it up compared to the original material
John's in a good mood recently
Damn how much I would have liked to be there!!!!! My favorite band. I Suppose I Will never see them here in the Netherlands 😢
makin an old man proud to hear you guys again... all of you... after all we have been through... you have come back to bless us with your majestic discord again.. i love you guys
God they're awesome
@@projectre-humanize3379 agreed loved that Serj was having a fun time here
GIVE US ONE MORE ALBUM AND ONE MORE TOUR AND WE WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE ABOUT IT!!!!
This shit making me emotional. SOAD one of the greatest rock bands ever
This was one of the best performances ever huh. Damn such an amazing time for anyone who was there. So emotional so meaningful so real.
Thank you for posting this! I'll never be able to see them so it's good to watch it here. ❤ Love SOAD so much!
@@morganthenaarcher9082 no problem! appreciate the comment hopefully one day you can 🙏
Holy Mountains being a masterpiece!!!!
I think about Joey all the time, dude. Good Guy Daron.
Theyre an awesome band!!! So fast and full of so much energy that you can feel. LONG LIVE SYSTEM OF A DOWN!!!!

@20:35 innervision "my pupils dance lost in a trance" dance is pure serj at his finest.. also what a cracka of a setlist best one yet!!
This was such a great set. Glad I saw it in person.
I saw them at Donington in 2005 and couldn’t believe how good they were. I thought they were on the verge of becoming the biggest thing in the world.
Nice, they don't seem to be hating it as much as they were in the past few years.
Haven’t seen them seeming to have this much fun in a while
Agreed there's a lot more passion in this show than some of their other recent ones
I was there. It was an amazing event. So many awesome acts all in 1 place.
Man what a stacked setlist! Thanks for uploading this. I'm glad I got to see them on their last big tour since they probably won't do a full tour like that again.

thank you so much for recording this!!!
Just when they were not even remembered and forgotten, they were remembered and came back!!!!🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂
First 9 songs are just perfect, and it just continues omg!!!! 😃🌪🔥👍👽💀🤖🏆
Whew, John's little cymbal play on Suggestions, very groovy

Wow, what a performance
Like this band from my time in midle school and still waiting them come to Indonesia but it never happen, but who knows still hopping that happen
Kalau Soad dateng ke Indonesia, wajib dateng nonton sih soalnya bakal jadi momen langka banget
daron's voice i still freaking awesome... it seems to be never aging.❤
He is struggling here and there no doubt about that... but then again what his vokal style is far from easy
Serj you are the best
Yep he did a great job here and seemed to be having a fun time!
Поставил палец вверх только за Lost in Hollywood. Ведь эта песня действительно получилась хорошо.
Que buena bandaaaaaaaaa!!!! Aguante System..
Я рад что такая группа есть,одна из самых необычных! Армяне металлисты)) ну-ну,))
welcome, come back!!, long live to system of a down !!!
Old is Gold! Great that they play again together.
FCKING AMAZING SHOW! PERFECT SETLIST.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Todos são maravilhosos! ❤️❤️❤️
They are artist whose works have long-term messages. If all musicians where like that, we wouldn't have a ton of garbage, only quality. I hope they will make more songs, but a good song sometime takes time.
Kiitos. Sielu lepää,kun kuuntelee teitä!
I've seen them live 3 times, and as great as those shows were, they never sounded this good. I wish I was at this show!
Daron you are the best
He’s so back with Scars on Broadway
Yep he did a great job here and seemed to be having a fun time!
Thank you for this footage. Great show!
Great video. Thanks for posting. 🤘🤘🤘
Une méga tuerie la chance que vous avez de les avoir vue 😮

LOVELY ❤❤️🔥Masterpiece ❤️🔥
That quality tho
Jamming out on the exercise bike at the gym to this rn 🤘🏻
Sinto falta do vocal rasgado gritante do Serj, isso que diferenciava ele dos demais.
Gostaria de ir a um show deles.
Espero que um dia compareçam em Brasília
Pledge of Allegiance tour 2001 was my first concert ever. My buddy jimmy and his mom Jody took me. We were 10! Such a good memory!!!
My mom let me go with them I should say! I was a huge knot fan!!!
WOWwwwww immense returned thank you soad forever
Honestly serj makes his voice work but it’s kinda funny sometimes
We love you ❤
My favorite bans, from there 1rst album !
Still there 'til the end.
Score!!! Thanks, dude 🖤❤🔥
Holy fuck. I LOVE THIS BAND
If only they would get together for one last old school system album would be the best thing to happen! Such a talent.
