When I randomly met Daron he gave me a pick that says SOAD on one side and DARON on the other with the oilers symbol around it. I still have it to this day. I will never get rid of it and Im a Sharks fan.
Pantera, also are big fans of sports, dime and vinnie grow up hockey fans and partied with player they even celebrated a cup in vinnie home and broke the trophy
Daron has struggled with depression his entire life. He's a very sensitive person too. I wish more SOAD fans understood that instead of expecting him to be "crazy" like he is on stage.
I'm a long-time fan and have just read a lot of interviews where he's struggled with self-acceptance. He also used to go long periods of time without leaving his house and would only talk with his girlfriend and bandmates when he had to.
I've been a fan since the late '90s and he has talked repeatedly about not wanting to be around people and he'll hole up in his house for months at a time. Those are common depression symptoms. It's not a secret to hardcore SOAD fans that Daron has issues interacting with people and used to be very anti-social.
I don't really know what it is about Daron that's so cute. He just sometimes sounds like he needs a hug though. I swear if I could ship myself in a box I would ship myself to his house and hug him.
This dude is a cancer 🤔... I am too. Yeah, I looked it up 🤓. I get anxious around ppl too, fr. Ppl swear im not shy but I guess I give a good front. I'd assume I don't tho. Me w/ ppl: how's your day been? What's your name? How's it going? Oh wait, I prob asked you that already (bc my nervous self wasn't even listening. Especially if there was a group of strangers). Whats your name again? Im horrible w/ names. (Im really not always the greatest w/ this sh...but f it. Bc Ppl like me anyways. At least sometimes :/. I'll prob. Forget that name w/ in seconds) I want to pet him tho 😀. But I won't if that's too intrusive for the internet, screen world. I'll fall back now & admire him from afar :/. He does kind of seem fragile or something. Don't hate me.
For all the people that say he seems sad. He probably is his most treasured thing in the world his band is disbanded from making new music and basically on a permanent hiatus obviously playing music made him able to act crazy and silly and get passed those walls.
I've always kind of been able to tell a bit about people by hearing their voice, and I guess I was kind of right about Daron... I found SOAD bc of my mom playing their songs in the car all the time, and whenever I heard Daron sing I always thought he was kind of the kid of the band and seemed like he may be more shy in person, but maybe slightly hyper/chaotic on stage (This was just from listening to small clips of him singing, not knowing his name, not knowing what he looked like, and not watching interviews)
I saw SOAD in Edmonton before they broke up and Daron got punched in the balls when he stage dived. He crawled back onto the stage and said that wasn't fuckin cool. Then the crowd threw about 500 joints on the stage to say sorry for that ass that did that. Sorry Daron. Thanks for smiling and waving to us when we were smokin a joint behind the arena and saw you guys by the bus.
As a sports fan & metalhead, I can tell you that it's not uncommon for people to find out I like both. There must be a stereotype that metalheads don't like sports. Maybe most of us don't, but some of us do!

max barnett This is my thought; Stereotypes exist, it's not anyone's fault for buying into them. I get surprised too when I see someone defying my own predetermined stereotypes about them, it's natural. Humans learn throughout life & it's never too late or too early to have one's mind opened a tiny bit!
It's not that people think metalheads don't like sports as much as it was jocks and metalheads being on opposite ends of the spectrum for a very long time. Metal is accepted widely now, but until sometime in the 90's, metal was a counterculture, and jocks were a symbol of good clean values. We know it's untrue, but that was the basic view of it for a long time.
it's awesome and I think Daron makes it a Guarantee for SOAD to always stop in Edmonton! I seen them 2 x in 2005 at Rexall which one of them was the last show before there Hiatus and then the first show from there Hiatus in 2011 I think Daron genuinly loves Edmonton!!
Very cool. As a kid I was able to stand outside of the San Jose arena. I was a huge Sharks fan and even just being there felt great. My head would've probably exploded if I would've seen a live game.
Won't ever forget seeing Daron live with his band. Me and him locked eyes for a bit. I just stood completely shocked and just nodded my head to say "Hey". He nodded back and I felt star strucked.
People don’t understand that a musician is a character. This is not who he really is in real life. You can’t really behave like who you really are as a performer, because that would be considered boring. But at the end of the day he is just a normal human being like everyone else
I was just browsing some new songs of Daron then I came with this. I was a surprise that he is an oilers fan. Keep it up man. all the way from Alberta Canada. #oilersnation
2:03 Lol I had a very similar thing happen where I bought two VERY old and awesome Portland Trail Blazers posters and when they showed up they were in a tiny envelope. They were 2''x5''. Then I went back to the item description on ebay and in extremely tiny print at the bottom it said the size. Moral of the story, read your item descriptions!
3:02 I was at the concert in rexall and that was unreal. If you ever want to make an Edmonton crowd go insane, come out wearing an oilers jersey and that will do it.
I was present on his 27th birthday and from my teenage perspective he looked like an adult but in retrospect probably could have passed for 17. 😂 He was really bashful and hid behind a stack of speakers while the crowd sang happy birthday to him. 🥺
I lived in Edmonton for a short time when I was 9. The year they lost to the islanders, before they started the dynasty. We went to the homecoming parade. My uncle did Gretzky's dry cleaning so I have a nice big Gretzky autograph. Im a fan of SOAD so this was cool to see his collection. I had the same mini oiler stick.
you don’t have to read a depression diagnosis to see the demon, you can see it directly looking at the person’s behavior and, in this case, the lyrics. Acting like that on stage is somehow expression of a histrionic personality that, we know, origins from a self acceptance problem. I don’t see as weird the difference between his behavior on stage and during interviews or private contexts, I think it’s a proof of his issues. Also “lonely day” to me is evidently about thinking of committing suicide, but maybe I’m the one thinking that. You didn’t ask for this comment, I know, but I felt like confronting with people about it 😁
I always thought that about Lonely Day. Either suicide or feeling like not wanting to exist. I'm like that, I don't want to kill myself, but I don't want to exist. Probably why it's my favorite song.
@@ruthfitzpatrick4726 There is no special thing other then existing and living this life whatever you are. Without you, your world would never exist to you..and probably, to anyone else, but this is a long science theory. Just do whatever makes you happy
Yes, and no one asked you to RU-vid video diagnose a random man you don't know. He does drugs. That's why he acts the way he does on stage. He does a lot of drugs.
