View Full Version : Melo has been SOADamized
It finally happened. The day all of my dreams came true. Well, not really. But close enough.
My friend and I made it to the Woodlands in about 30 minutes, and that was AFTER playing our female driver part and taking a wrong exit. :rolleyes: Made it to The Woodlands, and walked around a little bit enojying the veiw. It was hotter than hell, and by the time we got to the gates, we were both soaked. We went in and bought stuff, and went and found our seats. Lucky enough for us, we were under the pavilian part, so it was shaded a little.
The first band to perform was Fair to Midland, a newer band that the singer from System of a Down signed to his company. They suprised me. I really enjoyed the show. Next was Bad Acid Trip, who again suprised me. I couldnt really tell what the singer was screaming. I only caught the 'HOUSTON TEXAS!' and the 'F**K YOU, MOTHERF**KERS!' parts. But he had a mohawk with a braid coming out the side of it, and he jumped on amps and had seizures on stage, so it was entertaing to at least watch. Next up was Hatebreed, which I REALLY enjoyed. They threw out a lot of the 'HOUSTON TEXAS!' and the 'F**K YOU, MOTHERF**KERS!' parts as well, but for variety, added in some 'ARE YALL READY FOR SYSTEM OF A F**KING DOWN?!' At which the crowd showed just how ready they were. After them came Avenged Sevenfold, but who really cares about them? I dont see what people like about them, but whatever. I patiently sat around and waited for THE band to come out.
After a bit, the house lights went off, and everyone was in darkness. Then the opening song, a somber 'Soldier's side - intro' opened up the show. They played for 2 1/2 to 3 hours worth of music, covering everything from their first album, all the way to their new ones. It totally rocked. I jumped around hardcore and sang every word. Screamed at ALL the appropriate places. The guys in front of me kept looking at me, but I didnt care. I was there for four people, and four people only, and they were telling me to rock out with my c**k out, which apparently wasnt much bigger than theirs. (lol, sorry, song refrence). I cant express to you people enough just how awesome this show was. I made it a goal to see them before I died, so it feels great to have accomplished something. The love those guys share... the bond... amazing. At one point, the singer wrapped an arm around the guitarist, and they hugged while they were singing/playing. It was wonderful. There have been a lot of rumors flying around about them breaking up, and the guitarist says halfway through the show 'There's all these rumors going around about us breaking up.... but let me just say.... SYSTEM IS FOREVER!' Crowd went NUTS. It was a madhouse.

And last, the guys from Hatebreed walked by, and one of the guys walked up to me and says 'Hey! Here's one of hatebreeds drum heads!' So now I have a drum head from Hatebreed, and another reason to go to their concert and get it signed. :)

The thing is, they ARENT a political band. Not all their songs are about politics. Most of their songs are about other things. Out of 5 albums, they have only a handful of political songs. The thing is, though, that Serj is so involved with politics, and getting the word out about the Armenian genocide, that it goes over into his song writing. Its just a part of who he is, and what he thinks about. Of COURSE we would hear that in their music. I dont have to like their politics to enjoy their music. But thats your choice.
And I am a woman, but that doesnt stop me from saying I have more junk than some other guys.

I know that most arent political, I have their latest alblum. But the worst/ignorant lyric: "why dont presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?"
Sorry Melo, I will stop p!ssin on your parade. I would have ignored it just to go crazy at a concert. Get any second hand high there?
Get any second ahnd high there?
They didnt even allow people to smoke cigarettes. So there wasnt much other stuff smoking going on. I was close enough to an aisle that if anyone near me would have lit up, it would have been stopped immedietly.
I did get to see two lesbians make out for three whole songs before they left the concert to go finish their business.

I interpret that a bit differently, I imagine. I dont think theyre saying anything about the presidents not having anything to do with war, but more literally, why dont they fight the war? They give the orders for troops to go out and die while they sit at home and do other things. And knowing how involved soad is with theyre human enlightenment and and awarness raising, I think I can understand where theyre coming from.

Melo, lets not turn this into a 12 page political thread, so I am glad you had a great time. I'm glad you didnt get stoned-by-association, and espescially get SoaDomized. I am too old to enjoy, but you keep fighting the good fight for those of us who dont want to grow up.

I'm not saying I agree with their politics, but I try not to be closeminded about things. Their opinions are just as valid as mine, and if theyre going to sing about certain issues, I want to know for myself whether or not I agree with them. And I'm not trying to defend their politics, just their opinions. I'm not starting anything.
And about growing up... I might grow older, but growing up is completely optional. You would be suprised at how many older people were at this concert. There was this one guy... white hair, wife beater, tattoos all displayed, with a beer in hand. Waving at us to stand up and rock out. Then he spilt his beer on the poor kid in front of him. I was thinking that guy was a total d**k, but at least he still felt comofrtable coming out in publi in such a manner and trying to keep up with the rest of us younger people.
Then there was this woman... who came in a wheel chair. The person with her helped her sit down, and she just sat there and drunk a beer throughout the whole thing. But when SoaD came on, she stood up and started rocking out with us. I was pretty impressed. I told myself I would be her when I am old and wrinkly.

Damn I wish I could have gone to that show! Been out of town for the last few days, so no dice. How much did "Holy Mountain" rock? The more I think about what a great show that was the more pi$$ed I get. Anyhow, don't let the geri's here get you down. There is nothing better than a chance meeting with someone like that. In '97, 311 played the then Ariel Theater at Bayou Place (now the Verizon here in Houston) and an unknown band named Incubus opened for them. I had just bought "Science" about two days earlier, and before that I had not heard much about them. Anyone who has "Science" knows how much that CD RMFO, so I was looking forward to seeing them live. The band takes the stage and this guy who looks like Jesus with dreads steps out on stage. For the next 45 minutes or so, I am completely blown away by how good they are and how much emotion they put into their live performance. Nick and the boys come out next and play their set, which kicked A as usual, and they finish up, but come back out for an encore. I decide that that is a good time to sneak out and head over to the merchandise booth to see if I can find Incubus' first CD. As I am paying for my new CD, and a shirt, JC with dreads walks up out of nowhere and tells me that he saw me buy their CD and just wanted to ask what I thought about the show. I was dumbfounded that they were not only standing out there, but that he would come up and ask somehting like that. I walk over and meet Mike and their old DJ, and get a pic with the three of them. For the band, the rest is history. That was easily the coolest experience I have ever had at a concert and I have been an Incubus fan ever since.

Those guys are all just so... humble, its amazing.
A friend of mine got to meet the whole band, and she said when she saw the guitarist, she told him 'You are god' and bowed to him. Then the guitarist said 'No. YOU are here for us, YOU are the one who is god.' and then bowed to her. A snobby rockstar wouldnt do something like that. The guys really appreciate their fans.

Ironically, I actually saw SOAD (and some band named Dial 7) open for the above mentioned Incubus at Fitzgerlad's in Houston right after their first CD came out. Small venue, strange set. Serj sang most of the songs through a bull horn. Daron came out and went to the bar after the set, but was mobbed by these two crazy chicas that kept screaming his name during the show. Serj found it amusing that he was playing in Texas (home of the Kennedy conspriacry?). Still, I would like to see them now that they have put out more songs that I know and like. Sucks that Avenged Sevenfold wasn;t that good. I thought they would be cool live.
"Cigaro" is a strong song. I have to stop getting mad that I wasn't there.

It would be so cool to see soad in their early days. I watched this video where they were playing, I think sugar, and they were like 'We want all the chicks to come up here on stage! Guys can come to, but we dont really want to see you naked or anything...' and halfway therough the song, Daron took off all his clothes, and danced naked on stage, while all these girls were up there dancing around the guys.
Now that the band has gotten so much attention, they dont really do cool stuff like that anymore. They get out there and perform. They put on a VERY good show, but its not like they used to be. The 05 Kroq almost acoustic christmas was very much like old soad, in the respect that all of them except for the drummer, were all high/drunk. Shavo kept running around, and at one point he was hitting the drums with his bass while John was was hitting the bass with his sticks. Visually entertaining as well as providing an eargasm.
If you look on youtube, there are a couple vids from Houston. BYOB, Sugar (Which was crazy, because it was the last song they played that night, and the crowd was cray), Deer Dance, and the solo from Psycho. The solo was pretty awesome. Daron was full out running all around stage and jumping on amps and stuff while playing. And at the end, he was all down on his knees, and she started yelling something into the mic. It was about being in Houston, but I dont remember what he said. :rolleyes:
Damn I'm old. I had no idea **** YOU, MOTHER****ERS!= I love being in this city.
System didnt really say too much of the **** YOU, MOTHER****ERS stuff. I mean, the singer came out in a cowboy hat, and they mentioned several times about how they love being in Houston. They didnt cuss as much as usual. I'm not complaining, though.

I'm so out of touch it took me four pages to realize SOAD=System of a Down.
I saw this same tour in Dallas for $6. Never even heard of SOAD before that night, but about 30 secs into the first song I was thinking "I don't know what is happening but it....is....awesome."
:D
I just love typing **** YOU, MOTHER****ERS!!!
Right on, man.
melo- you're cute girl. Just...don't get into that tatoo thing too heavily. you won't be young forever.

They all mean something to me. I dont care how they look, personally. So its whatever. Its the meaning that is important to me. And I dont even have many. Just a few, and theyre all tiny.
I hope I didn't offend you. I'm just sayin...some people go wayy overboard.

I'm not trying to make a statement to anyone, and I am not trying to turn myself into something artistic. The ones I have just mean a lot to me, and I dont think they'll ever not mean something to me.
I realize that as I grow older, my veiws on life and other things will change. Thats why I dont cover myself in tattoos, because I dont want to look back and wonder why I did it. The things I have now... reminds me what I live for: Music, because music has been what has kept me going. Its my path, my boundry, my inspiration, my light at the end of the tunnel. Its everything to me, and it always has been. I dont really see that changing. Love, because I need to keep love in my heart, and to love my fellow humans, because the entire world needs more love. If everyone went about their lives with a little bit more love, the world would be a better place. Every day I wake up, I think to myself 'I can either be a bad person today, or I can be a good, loving person.' And every time, I choose to love. Because without love, humanity will propogate its own downfall. And lastly, no matter how important those things become to me, no matter how they make me feel, I'm still Melo. I can always look back at these, and remember who I am and who I was when I thought so hard about everything. And 20 years from now, if I hate them, the reminders will still be there. I think the things I have chosen to be, musical, loving and aware of myself... I dont think those are things I will be ashamed of when I am older. I think they are things that really express who I am deep down, express that I am aware of me, and the world around me. I think people older than myself have never truly found who they are, and that makes me sad. I realize I might not be completely there myself, but I know I have a good head start. And as long as I can keep remembering who I am, who I have been, where I've been, where I am going... then the other things... those will fall into place, more or less.
Uh.... /rant.
