System Of A Down - War? live【French TV 1998ᴴᴰ】

[@dudekiller82]

I saw that live on french TV. My father was holding the remote control. He is into classical music and folk music, not at all into metal. I did not know System back then. I was sure he was gonna change the channel as soon as it got crazy ond loud. But he did not. He was like hypnotised and curious about that UFO band on the screen. Later some friend's big brother got a copy of there fisrt album. My favourite. The copy was labeled "system of THE down", a mistake. I really cherish that moment I shared with my dad watching this. Thank you for the upload

yea it's a mandela effect name change. pointed out about 5+years ago.

​@@noblenessdee6151I think it may be the rise of autism and FAS. It's always been SOAD, named after a poem. So this one is a stretch

[@hristoskase6606]

I relate to your dad, honestly. I'm no metalhead, I listen to anything influenced by blues and jazz, a few dance genres, world music and lots of electronic music. I never thought I would've gotten hooked up on metal as much as I got with System.

[@spyrospets5813]

So much power, headbanging, screams, growls, man I miss the old System.

[@spyrospets5813]

+Evris Karr Όχι και τόσο, ρε φίλε. Έχουν κουραστεί πλέον και αυτό φαίνεται στις τελευταίες συναυλίες τους.

[@wakethefuckupsoader7673]

Spyros PETS Αυτό λέω αλλά όσο να'ναι το ταλέντο φαίνεται...Ασχέτως από την ηλικία τους...Μην ξεχνάμε ότι ο Serj είναι στα πενήντα του τώρα και καπνιστής...Σίγουρα δεν είναι όπως ήταν το 90 αλλά μετά από τόσο καιρό η κάθε μπάντα θα κάνει "κοιλιά"...

[@spyrospets5813]

+Evris Karr Ισχύει αυτό που λες. Επίσης, έχουν και οι τέσσερις ωριμάσει μετά από τόσα χρόνια, για να λέμε την αλήθεια.

[@wakethefuckupsoader7673]

Spyros PETS Σίγουρα ρε συ...Συμφωνώ...Μακάρι να τους δω ρε συ όμως έστω και μια φορά και ας έχουν ξεθυμάνει...😉

I love the 1998 - 2002 era of SOAD so damn much. The early days will always have a special place for me.

[@mojosiesta9821]

It's the intensity and energy that those songs gave off, steal this album was the beginning of the melodic feel. Self titled and toxicity had the most heavy metal feel, especially self titled

@Rufus McDoofus The Metal Geek I disagree, Hypnotize was powerful as well.

[@falcoperegrinus82]

I feel like they tamed and adulterated themselves and their music to appeal to a wider audience. Kinda sucks...

[@jonashaustein7908]

Maximus Queiroz lol there is no question

[@patmaheiney01]

Hands Down

[@aggelbeatboxer]

nope, best soad is 1995-2000. It really seems like toxicity ruined them.

[@comicsans1689]

@aggel beatboxer I don't see how toxicity ruined them. SOAD naturally progressed and changed with their music over time, but all of their albums are masterpieces. The thing that ruined SOAD was the big disagreements between Serj and Daron.

[@aggelbeatboxer]

@@comicsans1689 em, you know we are not talking about the possibility of a new album right? We are just talking about the music and the lives, you know that right? Is there a song called "the big dissagrement between daron and serj"? I dont think so. Im just saying toxicity was, is, and always will be kinda shitty. Im saying that pre-2000 soad was my favourite, and i think toxicity ruined the energy of their lives and they're awesome songs.

[@molineura]

Serj comes out on live TV wearing a shirt that says “Armenian Genocide”. Would that be allowed on today’s TV? I don’t know, SOAD still rocks either way.

There would be a huge controversy because its America or Turkey would imprison him

After they finished and left the stage the crowd kept cheering even after the lights came on hoping for an encore that didn’t happen. Seen them a bunch of times since but nothing came close to that show. Still a fan but I stopped going to their concerts.
