I love SOAD but you can clearly tell that Serj just doesn't feel it anymore, it's not even about his age. But respect to him for putting aside his differences and helping out his life long friends in getting back on their feet and having a good pay check.
They’re donating all the proceeds from their shows. Not sure that narrative checks out. Also it was the first show back and maybe a bit off. Saw them in Oakland Monday and he seemed very into it. I agree though that he doesn’t seem that way here
Everyone being into the show except Serj shouldn't bother us as much as it does. Who knows what's really going on in the guys head? Just because you are the front man for a Legendary Band doesn't mean he should be dying to come out and sing these great songs again. Whatever he is going through I am thankful he came out to do this for us again. I appreciate it SOAD 🤘
Guys Serj was diagnosed with covid right after this. I'm sure that's the reason he seems out of it. It's honestly a really great performance. I've seen him look much more annoyed. Or back in the day when him and daron used to try to sing louder than each other. Seems like they are actually getting along quite well and having fun
@@762x51mm what does that have to do with it? Interestingly enough to your point and their song, “Science” though is that he died from complications of C0vįd, and he was vах’d.
@@omardcastrod That is soooooo common, but the media whores twist it to make it seem like dying from the coof after 4 boosters is A OK. On a brighter note, I love this performance and will be sharing it far and wide. Just goes to show that some band members with different opinions and mutual respect can still deliver the goods. Political atheism is the way of the future. Boycott division.
People talking about Serj being bored. It’s been some time since they last performed. This was their first show back. I feel like he is still finding his confidence. You know what people do when they are feeling insecure? They put their hands in their pockets. Unfortunately the tour has to be put on hold as Serj caught covid.
@@hahnsmantra7276 why? I mean, the entire music industry is trying to get back on its feet doing what they do for a living amidst a pandemic. Nothing funny about it.. tragic honestly
Considering he didn’t seem like he was into it this night also the fact that he just got tested positive lol yeah no shit he was pretty docile here. He probably didn’t feel good
@@joshdraken1 Yeah, they are metal. Are you dumb? They're not going to change their genre's to "rock, hard rock, etc.", just because Serj doesn't sound good live anymore.
Was wondering what you meant, @ 00:45 I was thinking Surg seems a little quiet then usual, and the rest of the band is either playing to fast or trying to catch back up. @ 4:00 I was like okay what elderly care center started an SOD cover band? SSMH 👍✅🇺🇸
@@dust17111 yeah.. he definitely doesn't seem very enthused about playing this show. This has to be a money grab opportunity for him. And likely was Darren's idea more so than Serj
Such a fucking great time right!?! Blown away. Korn surprised me too. Impressive he still has that vocal range after all this time. I also think we got a better show than this one here
I get people were upset Serj lacked energy but he still put on a better show than anyone of us could ever dream of doing, he’s probably still feeling the fatigue of covid, or maybe he just wasn’t in the groove that night, it’s impossible to be perfect and full of energy all the time, and maybe this night he was just tired. I wouldn’t say he doesn’t care about SOAD anymore because if that were the case he wouldn’t be there performing in the first place, plus years of performing high energy shows takes a toll on your body, and at his age I doubt he wants to risk his physical health for the sake of one show
@@TwoTrakMind ik , soad its my favorite band, but bro serj singing with his hands in his pocket if u dont like your own music anymore its ok but dont scam the people
Most bands play faster tempo live. Especially heavier music. They push and pull because of crowd energy and general mood. Most studio versions of songs are slowed down to make it more "palatable."
@@OGthecritic Not really. They played for over an hour and forty minutes, that's not a short set. There's just some songs that bands/artists end up enjoying playing a little faster or slower as time goes by. If anything it helps allows them to fit another short song in set.
16:04 that note serj sings at the end of sugar was cool. he might not be able to scream like he use to but he can still do unique shit with his voice to add to the song
@@timsayre8321 please don't bring politics to this discussion, why do you have to say that he's a communist when the dude is talking about his singing? Have you got a tapeworm in your brain?

No one worth seeing ever came to Fresno when I was growing up there in the 80s & 90s. We always had to drive either to LA or the Bay Area to see good bands.
@@lotsapasta0858 I’d love to see them live! Nothing wrong if their primary motive playing is to make some cash To me it looks like they are all having a cool time enjoying playing for the fans
I surprised my bf with tix to see this band on this particular show in Vegas. I didn't go in with many expectations, and truly I was there to see Korn. I'm not a fan of SOAD, i'm not going to lie though, they sound so good live and put on a hell of a show. Needless to say, my upper back and neck are still hurting today. Haven't banged my head so hard in a while. Can't wait to see them again.
Daron singing more is why I stopped listening to them as much as i did and I was listening to them back in like 98-99’. Serge has always sounded fine, Daron has just always wanted more facetime and fame
Was there. 3rd tile seeing them. This time with my wife. First time seeing them was in 06 at the Hard Rock Las Vegas when Hypnotize was a new song being promoted before the Hypnotize album came out. My brother and myself all time favorite band.
This is my favorite band ever... BUT, I can't escape the feeling that Serj REALLY does not want to do this anymore. I mean, just look at him. It saddens me if he's doing this against his desires or wishes. He is barely even moving, hand in pocket, just looking like he wants to get the hell out of there as soon as possible. It can be just me of course, but that is the feeling I got, seeing this nice camera work zooming in and all. Probably if I was there at the concert I would have been happy to just be there and I could not even see all this from all the vibes but given I've seen this... It just saddens me. Still, love S.O.A.D. forever and their messages! Was lucky enough to see them once live at least, and it was a hell of a show.
i think it's just because he is old and is not able to sing like the old days... System songs require so much energy and power, especially the vocals. It seems like he/they just keep going only for us, the fans, and knowing Serj as the way he is, makes sense doing that.
@@rinzler2012 I mean that’s not really a good reason. Plenty of bands have been playing the same songs for 20 years. They are performers. Preforming is what the do. I hope they didn’t loose the passion.
I think they love to keep performing for their fans, i mean they cant work together on making an album but they can tour, that's actually really nice towards us fans
They're doing it for the paycheck. It's just a business arrangement for them at this point. Everyone is at odds with each other over bent egos and years old artistic differences. Kinda cringy watching serj half asleep and the rest of the band on lifesupport.
Follow any of them on social media and you’ll realize the truth of the situation. Serj is the outlier. John and Shavo are SUPER Conservative and very close, Daron seems to be on even ground with everyone and just wants to jam. He gets along with everyone but seems to be a bit too “big-time” to really be close to any of them. And Serj is so far into his self-righteous mindset that he just doesn’t relate to the rest of the band, and they don’t relate to him. Plus politically, Serj is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum as John and Shavo, so right away they’re going to clash. It seems Daron leans a little more toward John and Shavo as I’ve seen him share some pages supporting 2A rights. The 4 of them are all just different people, and they’re rich and successful enough now to not have to put their differences aside anymore.
@@ScottXC91 That's more insight about them personally than I've ever known. The only other thing that I can think of is that John and Serj are brother in laws. Their wives are sisters. I'm wondering if the two shows in February may be the end of System. Serj hinted that touring is not something he's interested in soon enough.
God... 20 years went so fast, I was a teenager, and look at them now, they are still looking good, a bit older, most importantly still the same style...
Imma be honest considering his recent back surgery and covid diagnosis, I believe that his delivery on War was really good! He clearly has a great voice, he might not be in as much of a mood anymore
@@dishpapa1143 repetition of songs is never a good excuse for a lazy show. all touring bands know the business model by now. people pay money to see them & might be the crowd's first time seeing the show
@@dishpapa1143 many bands older than soad, like metallica, maiden, priest and others, they play the same musics since 80's and still the energy is awesome and they are making spetacular shows actually, its not a excuse
Oh Las Vegas lmao, I thought this was the Fresno show 😂😂 I agree with the comments, Serj looked a little tired. I lost my voice seeing one of my favorite bands that influenced on guitar live. Such an experience.
I saw them earlier this week and Serj was dancing the whole time, engaging with the crowd, bringing ridiculous amounts of energy, not to mention throwing in some incredible vocal pieces. Daron was getting creative on the guitar and screaming his heart out. John was smashing the kit like it was the last one on earth and Shavo looked happy as Ryan Martinie bouncing around the stage having fun with the crowd, looking the exact same as 20 years ago (those two don't age). It was one of the greatest concerts I've been to in my lifetime.
It's crazy how much better Serj.sounds singing after touring for what's almost the years now? He used to sing so nasally, and it's still there but it's not nearly as prominent as it used to be.
Now that I am older i know why I liked these songs although I knew not what these words meant it was the sound that taught me and now its like im hearing them New Again. 🌟😎🌟
Everyone, Serj had back surgery before these shows then tested positive for Covid after the Oakland show that's why they had to cancel the other shows afterwards. Chill out.
That's so cool John threw out like 30 fkin sticks man I seen shavo throwing picks but that's how u make fans for life not everyone does that...much respect for John behind the drums but more respect in rl for that
*_The first time I heard SUGAR was on a free CD attached to MEGADETHs' RISK cd. I don't think I even heard them before but idk that was years ago now and I'm 51 almost 52 and my brain isnt as good these days!_*
Wow def thought I'd never see this. And I hope this is broadcasted somewhere with direct audio. Man great job on the video but I'd kill to hear this set direct audio and clean.

He was tested positive for covid today, probaly wasn't feeling well on this day.
His whole solo career is rebellious, I wouldn't say he's tired of "it" he's just tired and/or sick
I remember an interview from around chop suey and he pretty much said he doesn’t or never wants to be famous. Probably over it

Now that I am older i know why I liked these songs although I knew not what these words meant it was the sound that taught me and now its like im hearing them New Again. 🌟😎🌟
I love the energy during sugar
Steady turning it up every few minutes.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I just wanna go to 1 of their shows. Just once before I die
I totally saw these guys tour on their first album back in 2000 🤘 Who the hell goes out w Metallica on their first album 🤯
Whatever difference they had ...put that shit aside. Soad made terrific music, told the world what was going on and still going on.
We need another album serj ur such amazing artist
Serj really doesn't push his vocals anymore 😂
Serj Neil vibes :) Maybe just out of stage shape?
People get old?
His vocals changed, he once said that he can still sing like he did before but it takes too much energy and probably he wants to take it easy
@@bryanmack7463 Serj always looked like an old man
@@bryanmack7463 An old Man? He is only 54
Nice camera Thanks for sharing !!!
Everyone, Serj had back surgery before these shows then tested positive for Covid after the Oakland show that's why they had to cancel the other shows afterwards. Chill out.
“Every body spinny around, everybody spinny around” 🤣🤘🏻
Старички уже не те!!! Но топ!!!! Best music in my life!!!!!
That's so cool John threw out like 30 fkin sticks man I seen shavo throwing picks but that's how u make fans for life not everyone does that...much respect for John behind the drums but more respect in rl for that
*_The first time I heard SUGAR was on a free CD attached to MEGADETHs' RISK cd. I don't think I even heard them before but idk that was years ago now and I'm 51 almost 52 and my brain isnt as good these days!_*
oh how i love the enthusiasm in serjs screams.... -_-
This video looks and sounds amazing. Great job Jim!
Me encantó me hubiera gustado una baqueta jejeje mejor si va firmado
17:59 E p i c
Getting old ain't for the faint of heart.
One of the greatest bands of my time! So original ! They have created a sound that if borrowed, would be straight up stealing.
that interlude on War is so beautiful
Serj obviously is still feeling it, no idea what video the people who are saying otherwise watched
That circle pit makes me so happy 😀!!!
Did the person working the drive thru at the Chinese restaurant in Dude, Where's My Car make that video title!?!
"& den!?"
I remember seeing them with Slipknot and Rammstein on the Pledge of Allegiance Tour
I thought Jim Powers was gonna catch a drum stick at the end! That would have been EPIC!!
a unique superb band, good to see them again!
So glad to see them back at it.
I love you Serj Tankian .THE BEST!!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
A lot of great musicians giving comments… 30 fucking songs in the setlist. Impossible to wait a live performance like 20 years ago. Just respect! ✊🏽
Serj cantando com as mãos no bolso, SUPER RESPEITOSO também, ja ficou claro que ele não quer gosta mais de fazer isso
@@AmandaBandeiras ele articulou de diversas formas, não estávamos lá pra ver o show na íntegra.
thanks for posting!
Wow def thought I'd never see this. And I hope this is broadcasted somewhere with direct audio. Man great job on the video but I'd kill to hear this set direct audio and clean.
John's kit looks sick
I got my tickets front row, can't wait!! Let's gooo. 💪🏻
Wow man can’t believe it I’m sorry about this shit man I hope serj gets better, I was going to see them on Saturday
@@jherrn5056 Oh no way!! I was going to be there Saturday as well. So what now? I heard it's postponed so do we have to do anything or just wait till Feb.? I hope he's ok, as long as his health is good is what really is important.
Amo a system ❤️ muchas gracias!!!!
they sound VERY good
I noticed that SOAD does a similar thing to what SOUNDGARDEN did while exiting the stage to feedback.
This is fire bro
