When I randomly met Daron he gave me a pick that says SOAD on one side and DARON on the other with the oilers symbol around it. I still have it to this day. I will never get rid of it and Im a Sharks fan.
Pantera, also are big fans of sports, dime and vinnie grow up hockey fans and partied with player they even celebrated a cup in vinnie home and broke the trophy
Daron has struggled with depression his entire life. He's a very sensitive person too. I wish more SOAD fans understood that instead of expecting him to be "crazy" like he is on stage.
I'm a long-time fan and have just read a lot of interviews where he's struggled with self-acceptance. He also used to go long periods of time without leaving his house and would only talk with his girlfriend and bandmates when he had to.
I've been a fan since the late '90s and he has talked repeatedly about not wanting to be around people and he'll hole up in his house for months at a time. Those are common depression symptoms. It's not a secret to hardcore SOAD fans that Daron has issues interacting with people and used to be very anti-social.
For all the people that say he seems sad. He probably is his most treasured thing in the world his band is disbanded from making new music and basically on a permanent hiatus obviously playing music made him able to act crazy and silly and get passed those walls.
I don't really know what it is about Daron that's so cute. He just sometimes sounds like he needs a hug though. I swear if I could ship myself in a box I would ship myself to his house and hug him.
This dude is a cancer 🤔... I am too. Yeah, I looked it up 🤓. I get anxious around ppl too, fr. Ppl swear im not shy but I guess I give a good front. I'd assume I don't tho. Me w/ ppl: how's your day been? What's your name? How's it going? Oh wait, I prob asked you that already (bc my nervous self wasn't even listening. Especially if there was a group of strangers). Whats your name again? Im horrible w/ names. (Im really not always the greatest w/ this sh...but f it. Bc Ppl like me anyways. At least sometimes :/. I'll prob. Forget that name w/ in seconds) I want to pet him tho 😀. But I won't if that's too intrusive for the internet, screen world. I'll fall back now & admire him from afar :/. He does kind of seem fragile or something. Don't hate me.
Won't ever forget seeing Daron live with his band. Me and him locked eyes for a bit. I just stood completely shocked and just nodded my head to say "Hey". He nodded back and I felt star strucked.
I've always kind of been able to tell a bit about people by hearing their voice, and I guess I was kind of right about Daron... I found SOAD bc of my mom playing their songs in the car all the time, and whenever I heard Daron sing I always thought he was kind of the kid of the band and seemed like he may be more shy in person, but maybe slightly hyper/chaotic on stage (This was just from listening to small clips of him singing, not knowing his name, not knowing what he looked like, and not watching interviews)
I saw SOAD in Edmonton before they broke up and Daron got punched in the balls when he stage dived. He crawled back onto the stage and said that wasn't fuckin cool. Then the crowd threw about 500 joints on the stage to say sorry for that ass that did that. Sorry Daron. Thanks for smiling and waving to us when we were smokin a joint behind the arena and saw you guys by the bus.
it's awesome and I think Daron makes it a Guarantee for SOAD to always stop in Edmonton! I seen them 2 x in 2005 at Rexall which one of them was the last show before there Hiatus and then the first show from there Hiatus in 2011 I think Daron genuinly loves Edmonton!!
Very cool. As a kid I was able to stand outside of the San Jose arena. I was a huge Sharks fan and even just being there felt great. My head would've probably exploded if I would've seen a live game.
I was just browsing some new songs of Daron then I came with this. I was a surprise that he is an oilers fan. Keep it up man. all the way from Alberta Canada. #oilersnation
As a sports fan & metalhead, I can tell you that it's not uncommon for people to find out I like both. There must be a stereotype that metalheads don't like sports. Maybe most of us don't, but some of us do!

max barnett This is my thought; Stereotypes exist, it's not anyone's fault for buying into them. I get surprised too when I see someone defying my own predetermined stereotypes about them, it's natural. Humans learn throughout life & it's never too late or too early to have one's mind opened a tiny bit!
It's not that people think metalheads don't like sports as much as it was jocks and metalheads being on opposite ends of the spectrum for a very long time. Metal is accepted widely now, but until sometime in the 90's, metal was a counterculture, and jocks were a symbol of good clean values. We know it's untrue, but that was the basic view of it for a long time.
People don’t understand that a musician is a character. This is not who he really is in real life. You can’t really behave like who you really are as a performer, because that would be considered boring. But at the end of the day he is just a normal human being like everyone else
3:02 I was at the concert in rexall and that was unreal. If you ever want to make an Edmonton crowd go insane, come out wearing an oilers jersey and that will do it.
I lived in Edmonton for a short time when I was 9. The year they lost to the islanders, before they started the dynasty. We went to the homecoming parade. My uncle did Gretzky's dry cleaning so I have a nice big Gretzky autograph. Im a fan of SOAD so this was cool to see his collection. I had the same mini oiler stick.
2:03 Lol I had a very similar thing happen where I bought two VERY old and awesome Portland Trail Blazers posters and when they showed up they were in a tiny envelope. They were 2''x5''. Then I went back to the item description on ebay and in extremely tiny print at the bottom it said the size. Moral of the story, read your item descriptions!
you don’t have to read a depression diagnosis to see the demon, you can see it directly looking at the person’s behavior and, in this case, the lyrics. Acting like that on stage is somehow expression of a histrionic personality that, we know, origins from a self acceptance problem. I don’t see as weird the difference between his behavior on stage and during interviews or private contexts, I think it’s a proof of his issues. Also “lonely day” to me is evidently about thinking of committing suicide, but maybe I’m the one thinking that. You didn’t ask for this comment, I know, but I felt like confronting with people about it 😁
I always thought that about Lonely Day. Either suicide or feeling like not wanting to exist. I'm like that, I don't want to kill myself, but I don't want to exist. Probably why it's my favorite song.
@@ruthfitzpatrick4726 There is no special thing other then existing and living this life whatever you are. Without you, your world would never exist to you..and probably, to anyone else, but this is a long science theory. Just do whatever makes you happy
Yes, and no one asked you to TH-cam video diagnose a random man you don't know. He does drugs. That's why he acts the way he does on stage. He does a lot of drugs.
When Daron talks during interviews sometimes, he sounds so shy and nervous. Then, during concerts, he's completely opposite. :-)
Maybe he's for real and doesn't talk shit with all the bling bling.
He's just modest and cool 😎
We’re on Drugs !!!
@@johncrosby8185 russian??? 😂😂😂
Easy, drugs.
If you look closely you can see that he is some kind of oilers fan
Really
It's hardly noticeable
Thx. Completely skipped out on that part.
rly give timstamp
I don't see it please point it out to me
When I randomly met Daron he gave me a pick that says SOAD on one side and DARON on the other with the oilers symbol around it. I still have it to this day. I will never get rid of it and Im a Sharks fan.
Wow that's so cool
bro you’re officially an oilers fan now
I never expected Daron to be a big sports fan. Especially hockey. I like seeing inside musician's personal lives like this. Really humanizes them.
Guitar Whores hockey is metal
Hockey is the only sport I know where a guy got his throat sliced open on live television. It's pretty metal.
@@DefThrone Twice, in fact.
Yeah, and someone took thier ice skate off and tried to stab somebody with it.
Pantera, also are big fans of sports, dime and vinnie grow up hockey fans and partied with player they even celebrated a cup in vinnie home and broke the trophy
I do not know why but I just want to hug Daron.He seems so sad.
I felt the same way bout him
Ikr, he's changed so much since the soad days
I also would, I'd tell him that he's still one of the best guitarists I know in my heart ;).
He has been working crazy hard. Maybe that’s why.
He's just stoned here btw
Daron has struggled with depression his entire life. He's a very sensitive person too. I wish more SOAD fans understood that instead of expecting him to be "crazy" like he is on stage.
Daron's a fighter, I hope he over comes his fight with depression. I admire and respect Daron, Go Daron and Oilers!!!!
+Dora Robertson why does he have depression did something happen?
+Dora Robertson where did you find this out?

He's actually a very quiet, shy, and sort of lonely. He doesn't really like people much.
Amelia Malakian i understand him...
I'm not really like that but still love to the guy! He's awesome! 😊
I mean, he did make “Lonely Day” so...
I'm like him
behind the scenes of Toxicity he was in a bad mood and said to the camera - I hate everybody, everybody should die
Lol!
daron is so fricking cute omg
Daron in living room: 😊☺😁😄😃🙂
Daron on stage : 😈😡🤯🤪😤🤬😮
he sounds like a kid talking about his favorite team! that's how i sound when i talk about SOAD :)
He's so cute! System will always be my number #1 band!!! I love Daron.
You can tell he's nervous, his voice shakes a bit. Too cute!
daron is love, daron is life
Daron....the best invention since porn, weed, and guitars
Porn = BYOB riff
Daron is so lovely
Shrek is love, shrek is life
If only he could write good guitar riffs and solos
We must protecc Daron at all costs
For all the people that say he seems sad. He probably is his most treasured thing in the world his band is disbanded from making new music and basically on a permanent hiatus obviously playing music made him able to act crazy and silly and get passed those walls.
He has a pretty cute voice. c:
Have u heard daron's laugh :D (yeah i know old comment)
+ByeBish love this laugh
Daron is so precious holy buhjeebus
I think he's kinda cute. Those eyes!
True.
breanntheartist1989 you gay!!!
breanntheartist1989 jUsT kInDa
very cute*
+ns truth
Eyes can be pretty even if they're brown lol
Why do I want to hug him? Why do I want to give him big oilers' mugs and make him happy? Me da mucha ternura.
I don't really know what it is about Daron that's so cute. He just sometimes sounds like he needs a hug though. I swear if I could ship myself in a box I would ship myself to his house and hug him.
Do you think that would be dangerous, though?
can he buy me
i'll be orange and blue for him
Hahaha
Let's paint each other and we can live on a shelf together! 👩🎨 🎨
I wanna give 'em a hug he seems so sad

@@ahhwe-any7434 run that by me again
8 years later, the TH-cam algorithm finally figured out I love both metal and hockey, and recommended a video relevant to BOTH.
Won't ever forget seeing Daron live with his band. Me and him locked eyes for a bit. I just stood completely shocked and just nodded my head to say "Hey". He nodded back and I felt star strucked.
"Daron Malakian shows his obsession with the Oilers."
Great video. He's so adorable!

he’s such a cool guy
After watching Toxicity I always thought he was a kings fan.
Tarantula Fangs he is both. He lives in LA and gretz got traded there so he liked them for that.
Yea I thought that too
03:34 Deer Dance
He playing deer dance. That riff where he slides up and down the neck
Pushing little children.
and this is the same guy who rolls around on the ground while playing psycho lol
I love u daron...we love u don't forget that...your not alone.
This me, but instead I'm talking how much I love Daron and I show my cds and photos from soad, this man is my fav artist 💗
I saw SOAD in Edmonton before they broke up and Daron got punched in the balls when he stage dived. He crawled back onto the stage and said that wasn't fuckin cool. Then the crowd threw about 500 joints on the stage to say sorry for that ass that did that.
Sorry Daron. Thanks for smiling and waving to us when we were smokin a joint behind the arena and saw you guys by the bus.
I didn't know /pol/ liked System. Oy Vey remember the 1.5 million.
The Reptilian Wizard Lizard
Their guitarist is a huge Edmonton Oilers fan and drives a Hummer.
@@CesarJoseee SOAD's pretty red pilled
SOAD is one of the greatest bands.
@Mr. Dressup What are you doing in this video? 😂
Daron's voice sounds like he was kidnapped and forced to make this video.
it's awesome and I think Daron makes it a Guarantee for SOAD to always stop in Edmonton! I seen them 2 x in 2005 at Rexall which one of them was the last show before there Hiatus and then the first show from there Hiatus in 2011 I think Daron genuinly loves Edmonton!!
He's SO cute
As an Albertan who couldn't care less about sports I still find this interesting lol
daron is amazing i want to meet him! and hug him! and and ❤😍 love you!
You just want to hug him
Very cool. As a kid I was able to stand outside of the San Jose arena. I was a huge Sharks fan and even just being there felt great. My head would've probably exploded if I would've seen a live game.
Daron’s also a WWE fan which makes me really happy.
I was just browsing some new songs of Daron then I came with this. I was a surprise that he is an oilers fan. Keep it up man. all the way from Alberta Canada. #oilersnation
its really weird that he likes sports he just doesn't strike me as the kind of person to

this makes me proud to have grown up in edmonton :') ily daron!!!
I'm from Edmonton, Daron is so sweet!
I'd pay to see him on ESPN as a commentator lol.
I would like to see that do but we all know he would say felatio a million times
This makes me so happy that he is a hockey fan! Bruins and Islanders fan here and much respect to Daron and the Oilers.
He is a great guitar player. Love his riffs.
LOL! Awesome room, got the same Xbox 360 controller, just green lights! And he's not sad! He's stoned off his face! XD
"a jersey from when I was four.. doesnt fit me anymore..." Lol
Damn he sounds sad.
nahh hes just stoned lol
Half the time he's tripping balls
He struggles with depression
+Jeffery The snake ummm... No... Hes high.
RabbiRan no, he has struggled with depression his entire life
He's so cute. Oh my god. :D
I love you Daron ❤ want to meet you someday you are the best ever from Melanie you make me smile
I love Daron sm!
Daron is just like the rest of us, he orders stuff online and is perplexed when it turns out to be miniature. 😂 I love him.
I didn’t know he was a hockey fan, I now have an additional reason to love him aside from being one of my biggest guitar influences
Daron is just so cute (i’m now a fan of oilers)
People don’t understand that a musician is a character. This is not who he really is in real life. You can’t really behave like who you really are as a performer, because that would be considered boring.
But at the end of the day he is just a normal human being like everyone else
He's so cute! I hope he will get better soon :((
He is so awesome and cute
Wow, didn’t know he was an Oilers fan! I’ve always liked SOAD and now there’s one more reason to love the band as an Oilers fan! Awesome video.
Here i am 8 years later and SOAD finally released two new songs.
Your a cool Dude Darin, thanks for sharing your Hobbies with us.🇺🇸✌️
i love him sm
He's so cute 🥺 i wanna hang out with him i love him smch ❤
¡¡Thankyou for tihis video!! I love Daron Malakian *¬*

I love Daron malakian 😳👌👌
this is perfect oh my god
One of the greatest guitarists of all time and crazy hes fan of Edmonton and he lives in LA.
i love himm
I would have never expected Daron to be a sports fan,specially after that game with old school Hollywood baseball players.
i was expecting him to have a bigger house.Good for him.
Lowkey. He's still the man though
I love you, Daron! Your style of guitar playing is so much like mine it blows my mind
What! I've been a system fan since 99 and a hockey fan my whole life how did I not know this!
Kinda thought he was a Kings fan being born and raised in LA and wearing that Kings jersey in Toxicity.
Just before this was filmed it looked like darron had been smokin his oilers bong
such a chill guy... he's the best!
The fact that he loves my home town oilers makes me love home even more.
Makes sense that their first show back together was Edmonton.
I lived in Edmonton for a short time when I was 9. The year they lost to the islanders, before they started the dynasty. We went to the homecoming parade. My uncle did Gretzky's dry cleaning so I have a nice big Gretzky autograph. Im a fan of SOAD so this was cool to see his collection. I had the same mini oiler stick.
Guys, you might have missed it, but he did say he was an Oilers fan
I wonder what it looks like now
yes! he should do an update :)
Wonder if he's added a McDavid jersey to the shrine.
Anthony Mattison probably
He has it all laid out how he likes it. Nice
2:03 Lol I had a very similar thing happen where I bought two VERY old and awesome Portland Trail Blazers posters and when they showed up they were in a tiny envelope. They were 2''x5''.

@Jothi, I think Daron is adorable. In fact, I think all members of SOAD or cute-hot.
I'm glad he's a fan of my city's hockey team
He played there three times. I know because I was at all of them. Picking Edmonton as the first show after hiatus was a special touch.
They're back baby!!🤟🏽
me then: he cant be that big of a fan
me now: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Now I am just imagining daron at eBay at 3am bidding on an oilers Cheshire cat

My dear Mr Malakian, I understand you're quite into hockey.
I bought an unused 1988-89 Oiler season ticket book on ebay. Glad I saw it before Daron!🤘
I would make him a custom Oilers guitar if I could see him play it and shake his hand
A man of fine taste. Oilers and WWE.
I NEVER expected him of all people to like sports. that's crazy
Hmmmm..just curious...whos his favorite hockey team? lol
slickcross Calgary?
I love the fact that you said Calgary. Alberta rivalry ftw, lol.
I thought he was more of a kings fan since he's from L.A. anyway all power to you Daron go oilers go...
Shavo is a
Kings fan
Junior Savino He is, but Edmonton though...lol
