System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B. live Download Festival 2011 Donington

[WendellVieira0]

daron is the man

[Deavilllz]

Serj lost some of his voice.. at least Daron got much, much better :D

[salgado1993]

serj is still amazing but he seems to have lost that rough edge to his voice that he had before :/

[TheChernobylBoy]

They're kind of boring now as they're older, kinda annoys me, but i understand, they're old men now haha

[GiangioBangio]

@TheChernobylBoy Are you fucking kidding me?

[TheChernobylBoy]

@GiangioBangio A lot less interesting to watch on stage now, no, i'm not kidding

[sh9683]

did you film that? if so i am impressed with your video camera for sound and video quality

[H0ODLUM100]

tha best band evr evr evr eva luv u all

[Sydidica]

@sochioranmyaku Hm.. true! If he's still able to it would take him like 2 years.

[sochioranmyaku]

@Sydidica I noticed that since the tour started he hasn't cut it though :O

[Sydidica]

I knew that they would come back... something in me knew that it couldn't end already. And they're back... Oh and Serj, get your long hair back... please

[sochioranmyaku]

@Sydidica who knows if he can still grow it that long? He's like 44 now

[xTayy1]

1:59 Shavo, where are you going?:P

[xTayy1]

1:43 Epicness

[nektazilver]

Serj lost his scream.. but he is actually a very good singer :)

[crazeycat]

I cannot describe how amazing this actually was

[joshrochanroolzutoob]

I want Serj's crazy hair back :(

[Guilmon470]

Daron is quite an attractive man. :3

[Chocoolatee12x]

i think the only one who has changed the most in looks is brandon :)

[xTayy1]

@Chocoolatee12x WHO?????

[NemLin3]

@Chocoolatee12x hahaha in fact, he changed that much that we can't actually see him anymore :P

[numi1232]

Man, Daron now looked like Mr. Chao! ahahah

[steelurhubcaps]

how the fuck can u stand so still when byob is on

[alice120471]

[Rinlanin]

Awesome!!!

[12m12i12m12o]

[TFIFH]

[byronulices]

[stricken97]

[FlavioMattos1]

Eu amo soad !!!!!!!! 

[Parketroth]

"Still your foetus lies on the tablecloth!" :p

[xTayy1]

@Parketroth "Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth"

[Parketroth]

@xTayy1 I know. The smilie was used in this context to indicate a joke. It amused me anyway, misheard lyrics and that. :)

[xTayy1]

@Parketroth Oh!! XD

[alice120471]

amooo!!!!!!

[alice120471]

serj sempre a voz mais incrivel do mundo....

[Luchiop]

first time I see a band sound better live than on studio recording. Saw them 3 days ago in Argentina. Sadly now Serj doesnt scream anymore like he used to do live, but it was flawless.

[spearmintpolo9]

i love serj's hair!!

[samuelsilva86]

Rock in Rio vai ser Foda!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XalonewaitingKairiX]

@samuelsilva86 Haha! I saw that too!! They were awesome :)

[RevolutionnX]

serj = forever cool

[sashathebvbjellybean]

serj's hair!!!!! i was shocked when he came on stage i wanted his afro

[hervoiceresides666]

Serj for president !

[XxXxXxNakashasov]

lol daron got a lil chubby

he always used to be so skinny

[ihazmetalflu]

Was anyone else coughing up blood and dirt after System and Avenged? xD soo epic

[aCapownage]

I must admit, that when I first saw them live, 2011 - Rock am ring here at youtube, it was quite different than how they used to play. But now, i realize that it's actually fucking awesome. I love the way Serj sometimes suprises with some of ''his old growls''. System of a down could have never played better, and they just got back from 5 fucking years, so people should be happy that their back after all. I'm sure that they will preform awesome these years coming. Sorry for bad language.

[Siratchi]

2:19 wtf? He's screaming like a lil girl. Omg Serj what happened to ur voice ? :S

[LionheartRKO]

@Siratchi Like a little girl? Really? Really?? You think a little girl could sing like GOD (Serj)?? Try to scream when you're 44 years old. It's 10 years ago since the toxicity album came out, he went older and his voice changed. It's normal..

[fabiozatara]

BYOB and soldier side intro played in drop C.... Nice!

[sargek11]

never play this and the real version of byob at the same time.. youll be dissapointed at them

[ladykitty21]

come to greeceeeeeeeeee!!!!!plzzzzzzzz­zzz

[29097039]

buen video viejo

[DJFLDJFL]

god I love this band

[sargek11]

3:53 serj still has the talent for being crazy.. hes gata find it.. and they can make a new album.. same for daaron? wheres the crazy daron? this one bores me ):

[marisabelsh94]

lo doy por 100

[93Hisho]

qazafi and mobark dislike this video

[samkhughes]

Thanks for uploading this, they did a great version that night. Good times XD

[ezpz1993]

What an arrogant prick Serj is here. I can't believe it. He strolls onto main stage Download as a headlining band wearing casual clothes not giving a shit wether he is there or not. Most bands and front men would work their lives off for the chance to stand where he is, and he has the cheek to give a half soaked performance like this? Lost all respect for this man. Like Linkin Park - he is living on past album sales and rep. He, like LP, couldn't give two shits anymore. Disappointing.

[billmats7]

@ezpz1993 totally agree

[OmgNoobish]

@ezpz1993

Serj has never had any energy during B.Y.OB

it seems almost as if he dislikes it

[samkhughes]

@ezpz1993 I agree about LP, they were disappointing and flat in what I heard of them at DL. Gutted. However, the atmosphere at SOAD that night was amazing and his energy in most of the songs was brilliant. Easily the best gig I've been to, ever. His presence and vocal range was fantastic that night.

[DerTeufel0707]

@ezpz1993 People can wear what they want, honestly, I wouldn't give a damn if Serj had casual clothes. In most performances, Serj had clothes like normal trousers and a T-shirt(for example in 2001 he had normal trousers and a black T-shirt). He does perform much better than in 2004-2006. You aren't a true System Of A Down fan OR you are new to this band. Never seen a fan complain about Serj like this. Nope, I'm not a fanboy either. Also, Serj isn't arrogant, if you look at what he's done already

[ezpz1993]

@DerTeufel0707 - listening to SOAD back in high school, which is now 6 years ago. I used to love them, my music taste has changed some what now though, and i'm more into hardcore than metal, and the reason my musical taste has changed is because of how much more expression there is in Hardcore. I would of been livid if I had paid to see Serj look like he was waiting in a queue at a supermarket. Every bands front guy SHOULD BE THE ONE YOU CANT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF, yet here - he is not interesting

[DerTeufel0707]

@ezpz1993 I've really got to say, System isn't hardcore, maybe back then they were a bit hardcore, but fuck, they're young, every band member was in their 20s-30s and this is more than 5 years ago. And now? Daron is going into his 40s in around 4 years and Serj is 44 years old and the others are in their 40s too. You may think that's not much, but heck, it is. They just aren't the guys who "stay the same" forever, and I'm glad they aren't. And I find Serj interesting, because of his personality.

[DerTeufel0707]

@ezpz1993 I mean common, would you rather see a whiny little man with super-expensive clothes which can't sing at all, or would you see a normal dressed guy, who has brains and who actually CAN perform a song?

[ezpz1993]

@DerTeufel0707 I, personally, would not call this 'performing' on Serj's behalf.

[DerTeufel0707]

@ezpz1993 No offense, but are you some sort of superficial? It seems like you're judging Serj being bad because he's got a jacket and hoody + he didn't change that much from 2005 to 2011 except that he has short hair now? And good performing doesn't mean jumping around like hell, it just doesn't fit to Serj now, maybe back then, but he was pretty young there. How'd you know if he gives a shit? Well, System came back after all, so he would. You may not understand since you like "hardcore" now. :P

[Ziszu]

@ezpz1993 so for you expensive clothes are more important than the fact that system is back and serj can performe with 44 years old??

[sochioranmyaku]

@Ziszu I think Serj's outfit is really cool here. I made one like it... lol

[68PitMan]

I was down the front and the atmosphere was electric ...every one just having a hell of a good time ,....what more is there ? SOAD wwas amazing and i dont care if any thinks they was not .... \m/ best 5 days i can honestly remember . cant wait for download 2012 .

[DefLepp4ever]

I missed the first part of there set i saw alice cooper. could some one post the setlist plz

[jeddmyster]

Awesome show!!! I wish i was back there \m/><\m/

[001001sith]

i think they dont want to be sober.

[MrAstrall85]

i love how serj scream freedom

[DARKDRAGONDUDEJ]

1 person didn't bring their own bomb...

[jordangarajau]

SYSTEM OF A DOWN MELHOR BANDAA DO MUNDOO , AI PESSOAL NUM É SO NORTE AMERICANDO QUE GOSTA DE SOAD NAO quem é BRASIELIRO DA UM JOIA AIII (so quem gosta de system)

[thatchavsatw]

oh for fuck sake, shut up the lot of you. if u dont like it then piss off, otherwise stay and enjoy it. surely you all have something better to do than argue and make shitty threats over youtube...

[dierg07]

hey @BlackMetalBlitzkreig and @icemanisdangerous hear motherfuckers get out of here this is a video system if you like Stay and enjoy the video over here if not

[icemanisdangerous]

@BlackMetalBlitzkreig Yes I have reading 2003, look it up cock munch. It's doubful that rage against the machine did the whole political thing before system? I think it's you who needs educating silly man.

[icemanisdangerous]

@BlackMetalBlitzkreig Seen it all live dickhead and got bored of the same generic rock riff and silly shouting after 3 songs in. I don't care what they say they do have a genre, it's rock/metal and that's why they were booked to headline a rock/metal festival. I don't listen to metallica or manowar either because both are also shit. Political and meaningful message? HAHAHA Rage were doing that years before and also doing it alot better. But hey, whatever sells records.

[jimjamify92]

@icemanisdangerous ....He just called metallica shit...I'm sure there's a law against that that bears the penalty of death....

[icemanisdangerous]

@jimjamify92 You need to find out what a women is, then find out what sex is and then maybe sort out your being a virgin problem and maybe you won't be such a gay metallica geek. I don't rate any band that still lives off the glory of an album they did 20 years ago and has released nothing but utter turd since. And how after all these years does Lars STILL manage to fuck up the drumming to One every single night?

[jimjamify92]

@icemanisdangerous ok. Found out what A woman is. I have a girl friend. Got the sex part down. SO being a virgin is....dealt with...I enjoy listening to metallica. Okay? That isn't a crime. It's your opinion that they are awful. Of course I listen to better bands but I don't mind metallica at all. You don't need to be a dick about this. Like seriously. Stop trolling and live your life. Stop getting on at others for their musical interest.

[icemanisdangerous]

@jimjamify92 I don't belive you. The only way you have a girlfriend is if you found a deaf, dumb, blind retard.

[jimjamify92]

@icemanisdangerous That seems harsh? You don't know the first thing about me...Why not go onto my youtube and see what I'm about? Seems a better plan than trolling.

[icemanisdangerous]

@jimjamify92 Harsh but fair. You're just another emo kid following the fasionable trend of rock.

[jimjamify92]

@icemanisdangerous Emo kid? nope. Fraid not. I'm a musician doing covers of songs I LIKE and listen too lots. Thank you for your generalization though.

[FalloutTactics92]

@jimjamify92 Hey sam hows it going man i see your in battle with a troll.

[jimjamify92]

@FalloutTactics92 Indeed. Gripping stuff. Rather irritating but at the same time amusing

[FalloutTactics92]

@jimjamify92 By the way this is Garry

[jimjamify92]

@FalloutTactics92 GARY!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!!

[FalloutTactics92]

@jimjamify92 Yeah same here but not in a Gay way i just noticed your battle with that FUCKWEED iceman thought it was really funny.

[jimjamify92]

@FalloutTactics92 Yeah. He's an interesting fellow. Needs to learn a little respect right enough.

[FalloutTactics92]

@jimjamify92 I think you outsmarted him on more than one occasion but he will probably be back for Revenge ohh and great vids on your channel dude.

[jimjamify92]

@FalloutTactics92 Thanks man! :)

[icemanisdangerous]

@jimjamify92 Doing covers ay? So you can create something yourself? your content with trying to be someone else instead of trying to carve your own way? How wonderfully cowardly of you. Your not a musician. Musicians create.

[icemanisdangerous]

@BlackMetalBlitzkreig They're generic cuz they use the same riffs and vocal patterns in all their songs. Like I said the song in this vid could be anyone of a number of their songs. It's generic.

[icemanisdangerous]

@BlackMetalBlitzkreig Virgin

[drumdemon3]

why doesnt he do the double bass???? was he drunk? lol i cant do it when i drink

[icemanisdangerous]

We shouldn't send the poor we should system of a down and their stupid ass fans to be used as cannon fodder so we don't have to put up with this generic repetetive poor excuse for rock music anymore not to mention their blind deaf fans who are as sheep like as any cheesey britney spears justin bieber fans.

[likepieproductions]

@icemanisdangerous u like justin bieber..ur gay..no fuck off..ur gay...u have no friends...ur gay...u like justin bieber and ur gay and u have no friends and uve never kissed a girl and can barely talk to girls and u know it...now let this dwell on u forever u moron

[icemanisdangerous]

@likepieproductions You gay stalker.

[myheadhurtsagain]

@icemanisdangerous And you should be shoved up your own ass and fired from a cannon. But since you troll popular bands for a living I'm assuming that you are too fat to roll up the much so instead go rip your cock through your ass you dick sucking, pussy-assed bitch.

[icemanisdangerous]

@myheadhurtsagain lol you're a sheep like pop fan, that like repetetive generic crap.

[HughDaana]

they look a lot more lively in their music videos :/

[cfcdanielmccfc]

@HughDaana ur forgeting this was their return

[SongbirdSal]

Me & My Boyfriend LOVE System, we were there in the crowd for our 6 year anniversary..SO AWESOME!!!!! xxx

[ozpoe]

[SystemOfMyLife]

@brolykill545 FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! and SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go like a justine beaver video!!!

@OMGwallzy idunno but Shavo put up some downloads of bits and pieces of the shows on Twitter when it was all over. songs, you have to dl an ap to play them. and they sound real good.

[Awesome9499]

Serj scream is back! =D

[brolykill545]

THIS BAND FUCKING SUCKS!!!!

[Jokergasm]

@brolykill545 Shut up, your mum sucks. I was at Download this year and it was awesome!

[ezdraelon]

@brolykill545 Then get off the fucking video.

[MrNeosantana]

1 person is a president

[sargek11]

@MrNeosantana dont forget the vide presiden.. now its 2 :/

[sargek11]

@MrNeosantana vice*

[ppgzrule]

Best experience of my entire fucking life! If i don't go back next year i will cry :'(

[Acidpunk101]

@ppgzrule Amen brother

[Acidpunk101]

Things to note before commenting on this video:

1. A video, even a proshot can never capture the sound or emotion of the night.

2. Any artist is going to sound different live anyway, no matter who they are.

3. SOAD are and will always be more awesome than you... so shut the fuck up and enjoy it.

[MrNeosantana]

@Acidpunk101 Exactly

[bungledinho]

@Acidpunk101 still, listening to it takes me back to being there and just feels amazing every time i listen to it

[renzoneo05]

@Acidpunk101 of course it sounds different they are playing tunning C, not C# as the used to play this song

[FictionFoREVer6661]

0:48 nearly died laughing at the fat chick that could get surfed

[powerhousechipmunk23]

Serj and Daron have really calmed down now, a sad sight to see

[walkthewaywardtrail]

I like how they play this in Drop C instead of C sharp on the album. sounds fucking cool

[Raidom]

Just stop spreading bullshit,and support them,if they see the fan's reaction they might come back permanently as SOAD.

You're trying to look smartasses,but none of you realized why Daron canceled SOB's tour ?Fan reaction was bad,from what i understand he was hurt by that.

That's why Daron wrote the song Talking Shit.

And also from what the band has been saying in their live shows,they got back together.And on their myspace page,they put a "Demand SOAD" link.

[Raidom]

@Raidom Regarding their 2011 live shows,they were actually really good,considering that the band hasn't been together for 5 years,Daron won't always be able to jump and go crazy all the time,they're not getting younger.

[runeholic]

Serj's voice is weak and pathetic compared to the past...

[TheEmmetrocks]

System of a down were purely aginst the system and greed to start with and now they're back just to make money. Still a great band but I'm disappointed that it's not for the same reason as it started.

[zwaardwalvisje]

@TheEmmetrocks I've got mixed feelings too. Rumours go (okay, they're only rumours) that "two" of the members were in financial trouble. Fact is that not everyone in the band seemed as enthusiastic. And as a coincidence, the one having the most success with solo projects seemed the least interested of all. What a coincidence.

[punckasskiller0]

shavo cut his gottee off

[Monpropiw]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[parvussedpotens]

i wonder if daron going sober gave him the good idea to grow out the back of his head when the top is bald..?

[300daysandnights]

daron's actually got better at singing.

[solis2795]

someone need to tell serj that hes not signing orchestra anymore and use his Metal Rocker voice again

[MrRevvyTime]

Best day of my life, SOAD and A7X were amazing

[mrguitarman151]

it seems not the same they like need some cocaine or somthing like the old soad!!! but they still all rock

[WendellVieira0]

Serj sucks now

Daron still awesome

[SimpleOmar2338]

@WendellVieira0 fuck you,

[WendellVieira0]

@SimpleOmar2338 is my opinion

fuck you

[s1ppr]

@WendellVieira0

if Serj sucks now, the whole musical world of vocalists is shit also.

[dendrummeeeerrrr]

@WendellVieira0 true fan..

[MrMagicBrad]

i croud surfed.

[weezurblue]

still awesome but it seems like there just doing it because lol,, give them DRUGS

[300daysandnights]

Serj just doesnt sing like he used to. I'm kind of disappointed. It's like he can still have that intensity in his singing but he just doesnt want to. It's sad

[SimpleOmar2338]

@300daysandnights its more old. the voice its not the same but he still a great singer

[zwaardwalvisje]

@300daysandnights Maybe he simply doesn't feel like ruining his voice anymore?

[300daysandnights]

@zwaardwalvisje yeah but what's the point if he never fully uses it? sing your heart out until you sound like modern day Bob Dylan. hahaha.

[zwaardwalvisje]

@300daysandnights Lol.... Although I don't agree with the "never fully uses it" part. He really uses his voice very well, just in a different way. I mean, first example that comes to my mind: the last part of Chop Suey. He could (almost) never sing it right at the time, his voice just broke every time. Same happened in a lot of other songs. But then again I do understand that a lot of people liked the screaming and stuff. So do I, but I don't mind his "new" way of singing either.

[300daysandnights]

@zwaardwalvisje compare this to the concert at Big Day Out 2002. it's just not the same.

[zwaardwalvisje]

@300daysandnights You found a good one yes. But you'll also find numerous of videos in which he just misses all the high notes, and just keeps screaming and screaming, desperately trying to get the notes out of his throat. He was really damaging his voice at the time, no matter how cool he sounded when the notes did come out.

[Psychoguy99]

someone get those tapes from the huge ass screens on the stage!

[StrakerGaming]

@Psychoguy99 9th+ 10th of july, sky arts, they will probably end up on youtube

[Dallasboy678]

Daron looks like a pimp!

[matmagandi7]

"at the download festival, come on"

[breakingkorn]

This was so fucking ACE!! They MADE my weekend!! I miss it already!! xD

[JoineeHollis]

This was fucking amazing.

[PeritusRedRevo]

i prefer daron when he was blatently on Speed nd LSD 24/7

[steelwebspider]

@PeritusRedRevo hell Yeah

[JThrashYT]

@PeritusRedRevo yeah he grew up unfortunately haha

[PeritusRedRevo]

@JThrashYT shame he should have done a mickael jackson and stayed young forever....

[JThrashYT]

@PeritusRedRevo hahahahaha
