I remember watching this live. There were rumours the band wasn't getting along. I remember Daron saying at one point: "not even all the money in the world can buy this band", and that made me feel so hopefull they'd carry on. Little did I know...
The last show System played while on drugs. Something beautiful. I truly believe they were thinking it was their last show before taking hiatus -- everybody's giving in 200% energy. Serj even painted his eyebrows for the last time for what I believe was a nostalgia trip as well as homage to the early days
Apparently Daron and Shavo, right before this show, told Serj they were going to sue him if he doesn't keep going with the band, which made Serj cry before going onstage. :/
@@nonamebrotha and why doesn't anyone talk about it? it's ridiculous. I believe Daron was more responsible for the hiatus than Serj, I mean, the old guy's voice and attitude has changed, and being the frontman should give him more space to express himself than others.
@@norweedrecords cause it's new info that is on Serj's new book "Down with the System" that hasn't released for public yet. Only promo copies have been shipped and I happen to know a couple people who have said promo copies and have told me about that specific story.
1:28:45 I have seen all Suite Pee performances, we all know it's always unique... well "let saddam hussein play with your balls" is the most "SOADiest" I have ever seen, lmao.
His voice was already sort of changing by 2002/2003 and sort of blew it out where he had to do it a different way as I understand. He can still break out the low stuff but with age and such, it won’t be like it was from 95 to 02
@@JordanBritt Yeah it's to preserve his energy. Although in the mezmerize/hypnotize days I don't think he screamed as much because it would sound odd with the up tuned guitars and whatnot.
I remember watching this VERY early into RU-vid’s history. I remember people saying even then like “anyone else notice Serj doesn’t really put as much energy into their new stuff?” Oh we were so naive then..,
I listen to them since 2006 when I was 13, a friend of mine called Santiago showed me the band... That's the best thing someone could have given to me, the best band of all times on Earth
"Lonely Day - Kill Rock 'n Roll - Sad Statue" is the best song sequence since "Any Colour You Like - Brain Damage - Eclipse" from Pink Floyd at The Dark Side of the Moon. It's a masterpiece!!!
Lightning Blaze I saw them right after the release of Mesmerize about 10 years ago and his demeanor was pretty much the same. Not sure if he is trying to save his voice and/or energy, but he did seem bored. Still was a great show nonetheless. His heart may have been in the solo material he was working on at the time.
You can tell that Serj really wasn't feeling the Hypnotize/Mesmerize songs. When he plays their older stuff he's way more energetic than when they're playing anything off either of those albums. Makes sense as Daron said he didn't really wanna make those albums and then Serj admitted it.
@@russellschwartz9687 In fact, some songs from Mesmerize / Hypnotize Serj get excited, Holy mountains, Vicinity of Obscenity, Question, Kill rock n roll, Radio/Video ... but in general it's more bored
+DarkMaggot133 Violent Pornography es una buena cancion, como tu dices lastima que no la toquen casi nunca, creo que la tocaron 2 veces nada mas en vivo
