[QUOTE=kylelibertine]this is my sytem of a down story:

6 months ago i didn't like system of a down but all my friends did so i got familiar with quite a lot of their material. The tickets for Brixton Academy gig in london then came out and my friends got them but i insisted i didn't want to go.
As soon as a week later i was beginning to regret this, not only the feeling of missing out on a gig but i found myself enjoying some of the songs which i had always hated (chop suey, aerials e.t.c). The next thing to happen which changed my whole outlook on system of a down was my friend to put 'steal this album' on his hi-fi. I realise its not a 'proper album' but this was on of the best things i had heard in so long and songs like Mr Jack and Boom became some of my favorite songs. This of course encouraged me to buy 'steal this album' and then the first album and mesmerize.

Of course by this point I was seriously regretting not buying tickets to the gig. So i had to watch my friends travel off to london without me!

....BUT! 3 hours before the gig i get a call from my mate asking me to travel down to london because somebody hadnt turned up....they had a spare ticket! So i had to rush, caught the last train and made it to the gig. One of the best gigs i've ever been to, they played an amazing set including the first ever live play of 'sad statue'.:D[/QUOTE]
Glad you got the ticket :)


/Has never seen SOAD :upset:

Thats a cool story man. :thumb:

thats what makes me feel so wierd, how i have seen them live and people who have been fans for years havn't. It was wierd sort of a gig because usually I have months of waiting before the gig, but this was just really out of the blue. The pits for Bounce and Prison Song were insane!

Awesome :thumb:

i havent seen them cuz they insist on like never coming to america which they actually are this year.. the only time they came to my state recently (wisconsin) was when they came to ozzfest in 2002 and i was way to young to go to that , i woulda gotten murdered.. and they came to chicago which i woulda went to but didnt find out till the tickets were sold out, and that was the day before the concert happended that i found out.. so dissapointing..:(

Anyone here heard a song of theirs called Jonny? WTF is that all about!

Even 36? I hate that song.

[QUOTE=kylelibertine]Even 36? I hate that song.[/QUOTE]

yes even that song :thumb:

Nothing wrong with 36 :thumb:

I'm probably one of the only people that likes that song.

I haven't heard Johnny in a long time, but when I heard it last I loved it. I'm not a fan of 36. Am I the only one who notices the irony of it being 46 seconds long? I believe it would be 36 if not for the intro.

36 is the 36th SOAD song on CD.

S/t - 13 tracks
+
Toxicity - 14 tracks =

27
+
36 is track 9 on STA!.

27 + 9 = 36

Oh. That's an interesting fact. Not worthy of three posts though. :rolleyes:

I'd have been happy if Pictures were the 36th song on CD.

darons singing sucks compared to serjs and his lyrics arnet nearly as nice and subtle as serjs this is made obvious with mezmerize coz u can see where daron said this will be the funny sond, seious song, quirky song etc... and out of this double album thing shavo was only allowed 3 songs to record his own bass parts, dont argue that i heard daron say it him self in guitar world

but dont get me wrong SOAD are still my fav band just..... i looks like daron wants it to be his band

went to see SOAD live on opening night at brixton academy london. they were amazing. didn't play radio/video though but they played an amazing 90 min set. no matter what anyone says, there's passion underneath the madness.

Yea, if they left 36 off, it wouldn't make much difference...i think.

Its only 46 seconds long anyway...

i think its actually the outro that is 10 seconds long. it would be 36 seconds if not for that, not that it really matters though.

The only song I dont like on STA is fu[B][I][/I][/B]ck the system god I hate that song so much and I would love to see s.o.a.d live except I live in Ireland

yeah i dont really like that song that much...my favorite song off STA is MR. Jack i love that song

Off STA, I'd say that Boom and Bubbles come to mind. I can't think right now, though.

Are we going to enter the thread competition...if we do we'll need the players...normally i would do bass but i cant record at the moment, if we do do this i'll organize it and will represent the thread...

Yeah, just a minor thing though.....I thought the 80's matchbox were terrible.

I love all the songs on STA except for 36. Mr Jack, Roulette, Boom and IEAIAIO

hey 80's matchbox were rather rubbish. but then noone was really there to see them. everyone wanted them to get off so system could come on. an inevitable bad situation for them. they're actually a pretty class band on album but the vocalist sounds a touch to much like elvis for my liking. p.s. mr jack was incredible on the opening night...

I heard 80's matchbox kept getting booed and there where chants of "F[I]u[/I]ck the system!"

:lol:
