My cousin went to that show, he said that everyone was laughing at them. I really admire these guys, before they went on stage - they knew that people where going to laugh at them and their music. Yet they still went on and played the best they could, not afraid to dance around all crazy (especially Daron) - they didn't give a fuck what people thought of them. And they really played the shit out of that song, top notch performance. Even if the people in the studio thought it was garbage.
Their thoughts: Serj: Allright, let's act as weird as possible, be calm, patient and sing this as good as possible, I will be on TV. Daron: bawrpiwanf soafbnsoabvaposfnsap siapdsabd sal ibsaf!!!!! HABRBA! WALLAAAAAAA!!!! Shavo: Boo, boo, waah, woo, aii. Let's kill the string. Boo, look! *ui* John:
This is the performance that made me buy a guitar at 17. When i heard that riff at 1:55 i instantly knew that i wanted to be an electrical guitar player. 12 Years after i'm still playing and it has changed my life.
Daron Malakian has been a so underrated guitarist. I like when he gets the credit that he deserves. He has been a huge inspiration over a lot of people.
That riff at 1:55 (which is not in the studio version) has kept me coming back to this particular performance since I first downloaded it on Kazaa in 2001.
To think that they were on actual CONAN O'BRIEN after just releasing their self-titled album is insane. And they thought they'd be underground. I can't imagine what that feels like.
This was aired in early 2000, well over a year after releasing the album. They had toured rather extensively for it by this point. But I do agree, I don't think they had planned on being this commercialized.
Back in this era, people would just have a "wtf" looking faces watching this band live on Conan O'Brien. "Are these guys just high or possessed?" Hahaha Kudos to Conan though, he introduces lots of obscure metal/hardcore/punk bands to mainstream Tv and here they are now.
No people in this stupid asshole era would , this was in 2000 … I could have rocked out anywhere in peace …. U can’t even play rock without being discriminated against now
Serj has one of the most unique voices I've ever heard. He is an amazing man, musician, song writer, political activist & awareness. A great band with heart wrenching lyrics. I gotta give him all of my love.
-Daron, we are going to play live on Conan O'Brien for almost the whole country, can you prepare for it and play your part properly? -yeah, sure, man, dont worry *later that evening:
Badass song live. I keep coming back to watch this specific one. Each band member really made each beat spot on with their facial expressions and movements.
I love this performance so much. They had so much personality back then, I loved it. Early System is definitely my favorite. They've really changed a lot, but I can still appreciate what they did with Hypnotize/Mesmerize to an extent.
Aliás, o riff de guitarra diferente do original no segundo refrão é simplesmente genial! Eu fico extremamente triste de saber q o Daron não teve a mesma ideia no original.
The piercing radiant moon The storming of poor June All the life running through her hair Approaching guiding light Our shallow years in fright Dreams are made winding through my head Through my head Before you know, awake Your lives are open wide The V-chip gives them sight All the life running through her hair The spiders all in tune The evening of the moon Dreams are made winding through my head Through my head Before you know, awake Through my head Through my head Before you know Before you know I will be waiting, all awake Dreams are made winding through her hair Dreams are made winding through her hair
Props to Conan and the producers for giving them that shot. System was still a new thing then and not really understood and to give them this opprotunity was just great.
I fucking love these guys. They are so loony. And I can't get over how wide serj's vocal range goes. It's amazing. This band truly deserves to be in a genre of it's own
América, Awake!!!
and it never did...
@@radidov5333 sad...
:(
Trumpizm has killed America!
why would it?
spiders are at work...

They are legends
At 0:50 serj looked at Daron like "he's gonna act like a psycho in 3... 2... there you go" hahahahahaha LOVE SOAD
Giusy Cinquegrana watch him from 1:17
Their thoughts:
Serj: Allright, let's act as weird as possible, be calm, patient and sing this as good as possible, I will be on TV.

Shavo: Boo, boo, waah, woo, aii. Let's kill the string. Boo, look! *ui*
John:
damn this comment is way too cringe
@@DarkPeter how do you feel 7 years later
Daron wasn't on drugs. Drugs were on Daron.
Haha spadlem z krzesla :-)
I love how Serj is the only one fully dressed while John, Shavo, and Daron are all shirtless LMAO
Not only is he fully dressed but he's wearing the biggest shirt you can possibly wear...
Is part of the show, serj is a character that gives a message to the world, the world would be the remaining band
@@GamerBen87 you gotta look within and see the mysticism involved, creatures of true spirit, non normalized, creatures of creation.

Samadhi Nice to hear that bro, i play toxicity and self titled every day in my bass, Soad is life bro
Samadhi what a coincidence @2:22 made me become an Indian! 😆

best Spiders performance by far....better than studio by far
I totally agree. This performance is amazing.
@@DoomHasCame How so?
Kak si Filipe?
@@DoomHasCame He was, and likely very nervous being on TV
@@DoomHasCame True and honestly, I'm okay with it because nowadays they'd be forced to use autotune and that always sounds actually bad.
The song hadn't even begun and Daron was already being extra, that's why I love him.
1:53 even trying to catch a disturbing fly, Daron doesn't miss a note
Daron is very bad on this vid
Yeah, Daron was probably high as fuck during this haha
He even added a few (out of key) notes this time 😮
@@vincent4259that sounded very cool😊
Daron just spinning around in the beggining 😂
the audience was probably like dafuq
+Leafy Green damn right
So weird if you found a band like this by accident by attending a late night talk show taping
I wonder what they thought of Daron
@@zeese426 LMFAO!!
@@zeese426 LMAO
The only band in the Nu-metal era i still listen too. Its a shame they stopped making new music
Come on. Pantera????
@@jeffb8562Pantera is not Nu-metal
The audience had no clue that this band was telling the future.
At 2:40 he hits the notes so damn well it sounds like the studio version. That’s talent.
I guess your not quite ready for this....but your kids are gonna love it!! 😂😂
😂
Unhinged Daron is probably my favorite rock star.
yes!
Double yes 🤘🏼
There is no mistakes from Daron. You just dont understand that this is perfect performance.
I know right? It’s totally unhinged, but somehow perfect and beautiful. The breakdown and the “America! awake!” part hits so hard.
Young Serj was fire
Even here he is not very young
Back in this era, people would just have a "wtf" looking faces watching this band live on Conan O'Brien. "Are these guys just high or possessed?" Hahaha Kudos to Conan though, he introduces lots of obscure metal/hardcore/punk bands to mainstream Tv and here they are now.

I remember when I saw Slipknot for the first time on Conan O'Brian, it was a major wtf moment.
2:59 The control he has over his vocal chords is just insane!
he is amazing
Agree
Serj has one of the most unique voices I've ever heard. He is an amazing man, musician, song writer, political activist & awareness. A great band with heart wrenching lyrics. I gotta give him all of my love.
He's more powerful and perfect live than in the studio. Nothing less than absolutely amazing
The early days of the band - only the lead singer could afford to buy a shirt for the performance.
Not only that a shirt, a Sherwani.
399o😊
😂😂
The world was not ready for this band, the audience was definitely like "wtf" especially after 2:22 lol. Love this band
Some one like Daron only comes once in a lifetime! We are lucky!!!
Still the best performance of this song
I dunno, I like the studio version a LOT, but probably just because I've heard it so much.
my mother was at this live show and she said that everyone laughed at them...and look at them now one of the best bands to ever grace this planet
so damn young, i love the energy
Funnily enough Serj was 30, if he started earlier his vocals could've been unbelievably good
@@metalmythology6282 true, still 30 is still young in general
@@StenWasTaken it's long after rock/metal singers usually die
Still young, still energic, and still angry
Since i was a 11, now im 33 i still watch this performance over and over again...the most clean performance ever
Ich auch einfach unglaublich diese Performance.... 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You never see anything like this these days.
And that makes me very sad.
Just came here from their San Bernandino "Spiders" performance!! AMERICA AWAKEE!
Killer performance. I bet Conan had no idea that was coming ... how good! Best band in the last 30 years easy
Considering approval, booking, and research has to go into the guests, not to mention dress rehearsal and soundchecks... I'm sure he did.
2:57 that part always gives me goosebumps. Serj nailed this performance
Every ones dream to watch them live in this energy
The people in the audience must have been like
"that rocked but this is one of the wierdest bands I've ever seen"
wierdest= Amazing
literally one of the best system performances ever
-Daron, we are going to play live on Conan O'Brien for almost the whole country, can you prepare for it and play your part properly?
-yeah, sure, man, dont worry
*later that evening:
Чё, норм сыграл
They forgot to tell him not to do a bunch of rails of coke
i like this more than the studio version
He looks like a biblical character .
AMERICA.... AWAKE
Badass song live. I keep coming back to watch this specific one. Each band member really made each beat spot on with their facial expressions and movements.
Ja genau deswegen schau ich es immer wieder gerne....💪🤪✌️
That stage has never been graced with such pure emotion before. System is truly one of a kind.
I love serj's scenic performance in these early days!!!🤟🤟🤟
This was so artistic intense and beautiful that it's been printed in my brain for years now
Omg this is the best performance ever
Serjs Voice in these years was so... awesome!
1:56 and 2:09 are some of the heaviest riffs i've ever heard. this is my favorite song. i wish i could see this live.
Darren looking like he's swatting a spider away constantly 😳 🤣🤣
😂😂
That’s his iconic move
Absolutely effing phenomenal.
The delivery is so clean! SOAD!!!
Epic live performance, all parts perfectly synchronized
20 лет это мой любимый трек. 20 лет это моё любимое видео и SOAD. 20 лучшее "упоротое у Малакяна" выступление.
I've watched this over n' over today. love this live version ! Different words in this song he stresses in live versions.😍
Fuckn love it YES so powerful 🎉
fkin loved Daron this way. He was so much fun back there :D
Nuts, walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, cashew, pecan, macadamia & brazil, and even hairy, he went full nuts there
I love this performance so much. They had so much personality back then, I loved it. Early System is definitely my favorite. They've really changed a lot, but I can still appreciate what they did with Hypnotize/Mesmerize to an extent.
Me listening to this song in public: Please don't sing along and don't cry...
Miss when I went to their show in 2015 here in Brazil, daron is crazy about nature hahah
Best system of a down live ever!
shavos bass sounded incredible here
Best live TV performance ever!!!!!!!!!!
Eu adoro essa sonoridade suja da guitarra do Daron.
Chavos face at the end gets me eveytime🤣
best SOAD song. best rendition
I love how acoustic they are
I'm so fucking fascinated
I love System of a down
I want THIS band back.
Saw them live in 98 at a small venue in my hometown, they opened for Incubus. Great show 🤘🏼
8 yrs of listening to system of down .never got faded off
Why can't more bands like this be on talk shows?
2:40 Daron sounds so dirty, but how fucking awesome
gives me goosebumps every time
Para os desavisados, essa apresentação do S.O.A.D não foi feita pra ser bonita ela foi feita com a intenção de ser chocante e medonha!
Mas ficou boa pra caramba
Aliás, o riff de guitarra diferente do original no segundo refrão é simplesmente genial! Eu fico extremamente triste de saber q o Daron não teve a mesma ideia no original.
@@ar_for5459 Ficou do caralho, acho muito foda ela, pra mim a melhor.
@@ar_for5459 Né cara?! Acho visceral demais...Literalmente um ESPORRO!
@@ar_for5459 sempre pensei o mesmo sobre esse riff do segundo refrão arrepia....
beautiful performance
One of my favorite songs of theirs🙏
One of their best live performance, if not the best. It is even better than the studio version, I love this song.
The mix is awesome
What a beautiful raw sound. Great band.
John looks like he's mad at his drums, so he beats the shit out of them.
I love how Serj changes his hairstyle every year 😆
The piercing radiant moon
The storming of poor June
All the life running through her hair
Approaching guiding light
Our shallow years in fright
Dreams are made winding through my head
Through my head
Before you know, awake
Your lives are open wide
The V-chip gives them sight
All the life running through her hair
The spiders all in tune
The evening of the moon
Dreams are made winding through my head
Through my head
Before you know, awake
Through my head
Through my head
Before you know
Before you know I will be waiting, all awake
Dreams are made winding through her hair
Dreams are made winding through her hair
This is awesome. Conan always had the best music.
Simplesmente impactada com essa apresentação
Incrível mesmo
Serjão é foda
sim Issa bom
Such a beautiful song
The beauty of S.o.a.D, super hardcore yet inherently hysterical.
that was so powerful
Daron always looks like he's having the time of his life. Love it, dude's a hero.
An absolute masterpiece 🤌
Between Shavo looking like he's in another world and Daron fighting an invisible monster its hard not to laugh lol
The way he looked out at the crowd and the cameras when he sang " your lives are open wide , the V'chip gives them sight " ... that was it.
Это самые прекрасные звуки, что я слышал... ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО!!!!
Those are the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard... THAT'S GREAT!!!!
He's an extremely skilled guitarrist, he's just always on cocaine or whatnot. When he wants to he can play perfectly.
Such an amazing song
this is such a passionate performance
Beautiful performance!
Props to Conan and the producers for giving them that shot. System was still a new thing then and not really understood and to give them this opprotunity was just great.
let's take a moment to appreciate the guitar distortion at 1:55 ... legendary daron !
I fucking love these guys. They are so loony. And I can't get over how wide serj's vocal range goes. It's amazing. This band truly deserves to be in a genre of it's own
1:35 such a good performer
