Toxicity (System of a Down) 2023 Halloween Light and Fire Show - 4K

[@DropDMurphy]

90% of bands don't have a stage show this good..

[@pazirandeh]

90%? 99.9%

[@WilliamIsner-t9t]

Hey don't put RAMMSTEIN

[@Ewokedk42]

But Sabaton has

[@therealcarlxii]

​@@Ewokedk42Oh yes

[@stevorules1820]

Even this band lol

[@jillface]

The fact you programmed the singing Serj pumpkin to do the hums.....freaking legend!

Signing?

@@deltonmiller2248my bad, typo fixed!

[@mikeadam80]

omg i just saw that!

[@omgsus]

and the backup vocals too

[@jamesfirpo747]

To bad it wasn't a bit bigger or A lot bigger but this was badass

[@aliciabohn2219]

This is truly one of the greatest things I have seen in a while. I about lost it when the Jack o' lantern started singing. Bravo. 🎃

[@Noxious518]

a part of me expected it

[@whyjnot420]

I only noticed that it lit up for a few seconds, then noticed it was actually synched with the lyrics. _That_ made me lose it.

[@CantTellYou]

Dude lol the gravestones & spiderwebs are playing guitar, the house lights are drumming, and the pumpkin is humming along?! It couldn't be more perfect

[@philiciabowen996]

It really is probably the greatest coordinated effort of music, light and theme I’ve seen put together. Bravo!

[@aspiringboba02yt59]

😂

[@ksptm4]

As a lighting designer from a leading global manufacturer, this is incredibly impressive at a domestic level. I can only assume the OP has a background in lighting and likely theatrical lighting. Either way, kudos. Great track too

[@King_George_W_Kush]

Many many years experience.

[@graydi66y]

Dude definitely works for a company like Rhino Staging. You dont have lighting and pyro like this without that kind of business card under your belt. This kind of display requires extensive experience in lighting, pyro, rigging, sound, and mixing. It was either professionally done (unlikely) or dude has extensive background working in the entertainment industry. Source. I used to work for Rhino. This kind of stuff isnt readily available to the public without deep pockets and good connections.

[@Jimmy_Jones]

Their website is listed in their about page.

[@BurnedNerd]

Nahhh, bro just likes his RGB 😂....

[@BradVicious]

​@@graydi66y lol, calm down, bud. It's not that difficult to get this stuff.

Judging by the size of that house, he can afford it lol

[@mr.melontoyou]

[@jayhawker2363]

I didnt know i needed a synchronized flame thrower in my life until this very moment! The whole show is spooktacular. Thanks for sharing 👻

[@FlyingElvis]

Me neither. This man just influenced American men to buy flame throwers to entertain the neighbors for Halloween. 2023 Halloween will be epic, deadly but epic just the same!

[@davec.3198]

I'd hook it up to activate whenever my ring doorbell is rung!

[@joeytumbleson9723]

Whoever made this definitely had a "hold my beer" moment and pulled out all the stops. As a lifetime fan of system this is going to be something I watch every year for sure! I just want to say that this is better than like 90% of actual shows by bands out there. ❤

[@Петърчо]

[@maximus297759]

It just takes a lot time set up the programs pretty easy. You just have to have a lot free time.

This light show is better than I have seen at concerts.

[@oliver_klozoff]

Check out the drone light show he did last Halloween. Best master of puppets performance I've ever seen, and I seen master of puppets live.

[@prepare4storms807]

Not at a tool concert.

[@samezidrovibes]

I was wondering if he had a job in the profession or something?! It was incredible!!

[@JL-zn7me]

My jaw dropped!!!! This is not only an incredible song…. But the execution of the lights, and synchronicity is BEYOND MESMERIZING!!! INCREDIBLE!!! The Jack o Lanterns are mouthing the words… what!!!!!!!?!!!! I’m just floored by everything!!! THIS is going down as the best Halloween display ever!!!!

[@jordanvalencia9597]

you should see the one he did last year with Drones.

[@Earthwormfrombelow]

AGREE!!!😮

[@xHICKORYx]

When the pumpkin started singing I literally laughed out loud.

[@bubbaries]

The second pumpkin doing the whispers was unexpected (silly of me) and thoroughly appreciated. Thank you for your continued sublime attention to detail!!

[@MunkCentral]

Dude the way you programmed every single little light to sync into every single lyric and every beat perfectly is insane! FUCKING NAILED IT!!!

[@SixStringHarmonies]

Software. Everything is quantized automatically.

[@AaronHiebLighting]

@@SixStringHarmoniesI wouldn’t say that.

[@robertbyrne-kl9ui]

Is it MIDI programming? I play keyboard and use a DAW as a hobby, with plug-ins like izotope Ozone you can import a song and split it into separate tracks based on the instrument, convert it to midi and change the instrument etc. There's a bit of manual work involved but it's significantly automatic

[@CantTellYou]

@@robertbyrne-kl9ui Not sure about this specific setup, but yes yes! Most automatic "light shows" are being triggered using either MIDI or DMX512 protocol -- or even both, like using MIDI to control a DMX controller lol That's super cool too, I didn't know Ozone could do that level of track-splitting but I have heard only great things about izotope plug-ins capabilities!

[@JackiBoomer2]

@CantTellYou @robertbyrne-kl9ui ​ Hey, this is programmed using XLights, a free to use software. The lights he used are pixels, and they are not DMX, but run by pixel wire/pigtails extensions. The moving heads up top on the roof are run by DMX, and are connected to multiple controllers which are known as Falcon Pixel Controllers. The one he specifically uses he Falcon F16 V4 Pixel Controller. Hope this answers any questions! :)

[@nicholi2789]

The flames with the drum fill is such a sick touch. The amount of detail here is nuts. Like the second pumpkin doing the background vocals. Wow.

[@gnawtsatyr8865]

This brought tears inspiration to my mundane life. I had to stop myself from rocking out too much just to appreciate the choreography. America needs this song right now.

[@_JamesBrown]

Same bro

[@alistairlacaille]

I saw the flamethrowers and thought that *that* was over the top, but BRUH! The singing pumpkins!? Bravo my friend, bravo...👏👏👏

[@devak45167]

When the pumpkin came in on vocals I lost it 😂 this is amazing!!!

[@jamesmckenna4836]

Fire cannons AND System of a Down??! This is the coolest Halloween House ever!

[@drew5334]

The sheer amount of planning, design, electrical, and programming that went into this performance is mind-boggling!

With each passing year...it gets more incredible

[@BikingBros221]

Same

[@michaelchilcote6986]

Hilarious. It’s such an innocent little splash

This seriously has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I think I've probably seen more advanced or grander light/fire shows, but those were done by "professionals" with very high budgets and nearly limitless resources. This is just dude's house.... Did you just wake up one morning and say I want to make some cool lights and play with fire and this was the product? One suggestion though, especially with all the fire. Rammstein! you absolutely have to do something like stein um stein!
