[cicinhamari]

[swede6666]

[PTpsychopath]

[andres152ful]

The Gold Age of Soad

[alice120471]

"adoooooro".

[TheChuleta10]

0:45 Who can believe you, who can believe you, let your mother pray? T^T

[lautarosoad]

@TheChuleta10 Sugar used to be that way at first, later versions had the whole chorus at the beggining.

[matiasalba46]

STRATOCASTER!!

[RonaldWVaughn]

what it would have been like to have seen these guys back in 97 ... there will never be another band like this. Now in 2011, i'm pissed because i've not been to any of their concerts.

[javyergil14a]

Thank God they're back <3

[ZetsubouZolo]

this was like when no one knew them but sugar hasn't almost changed at all...it's scary how good they were at writing songs even on their first album I mean it's my fuckin fav album together with toxicity <3

[pokerfan2035]

@ZetsubouZolo if someone doesnt like the album toxicity they can suck darons big fucking cigaro im not saying u dont im agreeing

[SasquatchLegend]

There is no doubt in my mind that they were all high.

[12toedfeet]

@SasquatchLegend Serj, Daron, and Shavo? Probably. Serj smokes in the video of "Darts". I know that John doesn't smoke.

[SasquatchLegend]

@12toedfeet It was a JOKE O_O. They were acting hella funny though.

[SasquatchLegend]

This is back when they were kids lol everyone wasn't older than 30. It's scary, seeing how far they've come. They still kick ass and I still think Daron is weird. Viva la Systeme!

[Uzingniga20]

[colemanbass100]

[KilLeRPGLP]

[DrummerPortwo]

[metal0587]

[DrummerPortwo]

1:16 ahhhh back then when john did some crazy headbanging...

[MGKisi]

[HabLab6]

[andrethefaivre]

1:40 "thanks sako, that was a good gun" haha love serj

[fsbofrnprn]

1.55 Daron's screaming like a little girl! !!!!!1111

[conceptXofficial]

if this was in 1997, does that mean that they played this before their album was released?

[MoronicImprov]

@conceptXofficial Yep. I believe this song was the only song that has been played at every single one of their gigs since they started.

[TheChuleta10]

0:24 - 0:27 THE KOMBUUCHAAA MUUUUSHROOOOOM PEOLPLEEEEE roflmao

[RezHobo]

In major need of a new snare at the time haha

[TheGooeyOne28]

@RezHobo Haha I love the snare in this version!

[TheChuleta10]

1:15 HTW IS DARON SAYING THERE !? He's f*cking weird, and sweet :3 i love him ♥ SOAD FOREVER lml

[XxCaMoXxSnIpErXx]

@TheChuleta10 he is saying like now john

[Soccol91]

[75353866]

Is this their first live?

[OscarHracsO]

i was fucking terrified when serj yelled "JUUUUST ANGERRRR" he looked like one of those crazy old homeless guys :|

[NotSober100]

never seen serj stage-dive before,,,daron thats another story

[Yppy26]

Daron was only 21 haha

[OfficialNikkiSuicide]

what does that mean? daron said something like *aiyo*

also at 1:54 O.O wtf? that was funny though :3

[karo4000]

@OfficialNikkiSuicide its an Armenian word MEANING "yes", probably the first and last time Daron spoke Armenian in front of an audience.

[Loucser]

SUUUUGAARR!!!!!!!!! hahahahaha Daron Malakian forever!!!! 

[skfanaav]

for all asking about the date....look up the demos it was created in 95 with their old drummer on a demo tape...its so much slower then this but still very awesome

[AntonySOADGreeece]

@skfanaav i agree the demo is much different but its name is sugar so.........

[skfanaav]

@AntonySOADGreeece exactly :)

SOAD 4EVER

[MrJewy13]

[giggitygittitygu123]

Pause at 1:12

[Gio2581]

ohh ok thanx

[Gio2581]

thats impossible cause sugar is from 98

[omnipotato98]

@Gio2581 sugar was released in 98 on their debut album. they had obviously written it before that

[Gio2581]

@omnipotato98 but how the people knew the song if it wasnt released

[AntonySOADGreeece]

@Gio2581 I think sugar relesed in 1995 serch it on youtube and you will find it

[Gio2581]

@AntonySOADGreeece no dude on vevo says 9 but is 98 its impossible to be 99

[Gio2581]

@AntonySOADGreeece no dude thats impossible on vevo says 99 but is 98 is impossible to be 95

[ozzyfreak994]

[TheMac13D]

[vensmash10]

Knock-Knock. Whos there. Interrupting Drummer. Interrupting Drummer who? The fucking drummer is distracting me from the song!

[grindmaggots666]

haha, kinda sloppy performance, but still good and powerfull. they must have been stoned out of their mind xD i have watched most off the consert now, and i just realised that this is the kinda performances that should be on dvd...

[GALM1CIPHER93]

@grindmaggots666 totally! i was 4 when this was happening, so it would be like growing up with SOAD

[LuisRamirez666]

[nirvblec16]

1997? I was only 6! I had no idea a great band like this was out there during that time!

[nnjedson]

Daron = lol

[TheMCzorro]

1:40 Sakoooooooo!

[killingu1]

these guys were soooooo stoned.

[decoyvsslim2]

@killingu1 just like me

[killingu1]

@decoyvsslim2 ditto

[TheStrongBoyz19]

Daron's scream is so funny!! 1:55

[indiostar6]

Jeez this video is as old as me but I gotta say they still kicked major ass even back then. =] oh and did you notice how in this older version Serj does the little growls in between the "Who can believe you" parts compared to the later ones where Daron does them? I personally like Serj's growls more that's why and I was wondering if maybe he's just being lazy or he damaged his throat or something, which would really suck balls.

[DrummerPortwo]

1:16

John... Star Power Activated!

[Seasung123]

@DrummerPortwo that might not be john, im not sure

[DrummerPortwo]

@Seasung123 hes john... whiskeya go go was one of his first concerts with soad

[Disturbedone1954]

I love system, but after watching this entire show, how the fuck did they get signed? im sorry but this was mor e of catasrophy than any band I would take seriously, which is funny cause today I take the band very seriously.

[Rinaleightball1]

[sysmeta]

[Stewie083]

@supersheepo13 Khachaturian is the drummer..... lol

[tsconflictfree]

1 dislike....how can that be?

[CherryBlubbable]

@tsconflictfree that means that someone out there has no idea what good music is

!

[SOLANUM992]

1:16

I don't know what the fuck he said, but i lol'd.

[HypnotizedByTv]

LMFAO! @ 1:55

[TheDibbels]

I remember seeing these guys on the second stage at the Ozzfest. Nobody had any idea who they were, and they absolutely destroyed the place.

[melikeit23]

@TheDibbels What year did Soad become famous

[max27889]

@melikeit23 2000

[dnmason55]

the band startd in 1991

[heythinkaboutit]

@dnmason55 you mean 95´

[ralphkillyou]

sej is like IM GONA WALK IN CIRCLES!!!! becuse im awsome and do what ever i want!!! :D rock on dude \m/ ^_^ \m/

[Kazzmataz102]

This version is slower (better)

[slipknot535]

i been in there and it said IF YOU STAGE DIVE YOU GO HOME

[TheMCzorro]

1:18 John's crazzy!

[nukebacon876]

it's funny when Daron literally SCREAMS sugar XD

[JakeSkk4te]

Daron made a mistake at 0:45 and Shavo tried fixing it.

[CodyKillz15]

Man.. I love how SOAD's verses in some songs sound completely retarded but they make it soo fucking badass!!! YEAH!

[Toony678]

Wow Shavo's finger plucking....he doesn't do that enough.

[heythinkaboutit]

@Toony678 after they were signed he could afford more picks and use them even for small shows

[Toony678]

@heythinkaboutit

As a bass player in my opinion finger plucking has a warmer and fuller tone than picking. Which give a sort of heavy feed back when you do it...imo then again I dont even know how to use a pick so w/e.

[heythinkaboutit]

@Toony678 warm and full fits great to for example a slow love song but for other

songs it might be better with pick.

[Toony678]

@heythinkaboutit

.

Only advantage of a pick is ability to play faster which I guess is good if your with System, and hate having to pluck really fast when you can pick. System has some pretty fast songs too,.

[layon99]

SAKO!

[WillCreary]

i sit in my desolate room, no lights, no music, JUST ANGER

[mattei94]

This live proformance was what got them noticed by rick ruben

[heythinkaboutit]

@mattei94 nope it was Viper Room, I think that excludes the Whiskey show

[Freistaat1918]

Sugaaaaaaaaa......

That's Daron's best vocal part in his whole career

[soldadomalha]

soad

[CJandRob]

lol serj's eyes freekin pop outta his eye sockets xD

[rocknroller784]

they messed up badly but system4ever this song rocks

[SOAD498]

1:55 lol.

also, how come the song is shorter in the beggining

[mrmuffineater]

thats becuase they always had the shorter beginning in the demos

[Leggwood]

It's probably shorter cause its an early version of sugar and they hadn't worked out all the lyrics to make it longer

[heythinkaboutit]

@Leggwood they are just leaving out the "who can believe you" part of the chorus which Serj sings complete in the second and third chorus. I actually like this way more than the album version. The rest of the song has improved. The best versions for me are the album one and Big Day Out 05.

[Leggwood]

@heythinkaboutit sorry i was half asleep when i posted that earlier comment. Yeah you're right they repeat the bit the leave out later in the song

[heythinkaboutit]

@heythinkaboutit big mistake: not BDO 05 but Kroq 05 is the second best Sugar performance

[MarchingBass3YAY]

"Thanks Sako... that was good gun" XD awesome performance!

[bd0g5]

Well, they certainly got better. >.>

[LoveYouIvan]

2:43

Serj's hips take the control. : D i just love it. : D

and Daron's scream.. it was so freaking cool. : D

[Gagi420]

@LoveYouIvan Serj dances like me! or mabye i dance like Serj!( :

[Koilification]

i love this daron!!! right now hes more of a songwriter than ever, but i wish that he was still as crazy as in this video.

SOAD FOREVER!!!

[DontEatEggs666]

1:55 inspired me to want to grow up and scream like that onstage.

[WildTopazCoyote]

@MrSerjical

Hm, in what sense?

[MrSerjical]

at the end, he fell over
