I'm jealous of you I was born in 2005 and I really like rock, punk, metal and grunge. I miss those days when rock was still in mainstream, I hope I was teenager in 90's.
I saw SOAD when they were touring with Mudvayne and Slipknot. SOAD was one of the best bands I have ever heard live. That was when I was 17...I am 39 now...and their music catalogue is still one of the best. They do not make a bad song..not one.
I love how (almost) every major band this era that played MTV shit on it... Without knowing what it'd become decades later. They'd see "these" years as the golden times of MTV, considering.
SOAD is and always will be a favorite band of mine. But it would be a lie to say that the majority of their performances weren't them just fried outta their minds fucking up their own songs. Serj is flat most of the time and Daron doesn't give a shit about how his guitar sounds or if it's even tuned.
Hats down for the drummer and the bassist! You have to train very hard to be able to perform the songs without a mistake, despite this ego-shitting from the two geniuses besides you .... (the bad side of the great talent)
Seriously. If you are gonna be that shitty live just play a backing track so you can act as stupid as you want and still sound decent. Especially when it's gonna be played around the world forever.
Sure... Blame Gibson and not the player.... Hmmmm, I like it! Psycho Groupie Cocaine Crazy, BOUNCE! pogo pogo pogo pogo.... Daron just don't give a P.L.U.C.K.
I love your delivery... Like a handler for Daron via the label whose sole task is to get him through the tour and maximize the money flow going to the corporate powers that be.....
I missed an entire concert of theirs because one of my buddies flopped like a fish and we handed him over a gate to some security guards. The when we went around to get him he was nowhere to be found. We were concerned because we thought they might have taken him to get help from EMS. We ended up looking for him the entire concert and missing the whole show. A travesty I will never forget as long as I live..
They played badly on purpose out of protest to MTV for forcing them to cancel tour dates and hold to a contract to do the Awards show Literally they are as counter culture as it gets so, makes sense to play badly as an F you to MTV.
Maybe I'm deaf, but what's so bad about the performance? I keep seeing comments that they purposely did a bad job but all I'm hearing is maybe some out of tune instruments.
@@godiloveminininjas4278 Yeah, I know the story. I'm saying I can't really see what's so bad about it. It's not their best it's definitely not bad in my opinion.
The first performance is definitely not bad on purpose, look at how serj is pissed at Daron for fucking up at the end chorus, and I've seen alot of performances of Chop Suey and Serj has never been this close to hitting all the notes properly during a live performance of it. On BYOB it could very well be that messed up on purpose, but the drummer doesn't look like he's trying to, rather flawless performance from him I'd say.
Nah they’re just so good they can’t play THAT bad on purpose Also it’s better as a troll to only mess up specific notes lol like just when you think they’re done messing with you, they do it again...and again
Context: I love this band, they’re amazing. The songwriting is so unique, the vocals and harmonies are unlike anything in the last 25 years and there’s a really good reason they sold millions of records. I’m not sure if they just take a punk rock approach to live shows but I have never ONCE seen them play well live. Not just in videos like this but I saw them irl twice and it was… well like this. Love you SOAD, but I’ll never pay to see you live ever again. Also John has some pretty gnarly political/conspiracy views that are off putting. I don’t care if you like trump but when you get into the flat earther stuff and making a long time fan like myself turn off maybe keep that shit to yourself. Great records are great, weird rhetoric and embarrassing live performances… not so much.
Great take on them, unique comment! When they made "steal this record" everything was polished in studio. It's got to be hard for them to recreate that live. There's a lot of quirky screaming and fast time signatures.
But bigger..than Brando's eyes..the band to beat, Rick Rubin's joke band, that was never supposed to upgrade... took over the world, suddenly overnight...I mean c'mon man, "Everybody going to the party have a good time" B.Y.O.B. is a club banger, bangin' the boulevard, feelin' that, or nothin, I ought to know, I did private and club security,😀All along Wilshire, from Gary's Billiards, up to😗Santa Monica Blvrd. To The Troubadour and personal liasion for untold celeb super stars from Linkin Park, Perfect Circle, Rollins, to Linda Ronstadt and Kris Kristofferson...niiice to agree with Seek, Darion and Osho
@@weerawatchsuriyo9691 I think it had to do with the fact that MTV had described the band as a “political punk rock band” at some point, and even though it’s really undeniable that a good amount of their music is political, they hate being classified as a political band. I get where they’re coming from cause not all of their music is political, but it’s also a little pretentious of them to say that, because a lot of their music is political; they’re definitely not punk though lol. But that’s why in BYOB, when Daron sings his section, he says “blast off/it’s party time/and this ain’t no bullshit political punk rock”. So that’s why Daron fucks up so much in this performance, and why Serjs singing sounds like really disinterested.
@@weerawatchsuriyo9691 Also, what said only applies to BYOB; Chop Suey has some minor mistakes but I don’t think they were on purpose, because that was a couple years before
asterios they were sick of what MTV was becoming and knew this would be their final performance with the MTV platform, never to return. One of the reasons why the majority of every known rock band that were at the MTV awards from the beginning close to 2010 were becoming stagnant. And they were right that MTV were becoming a bullshit hypocritical hierarchy “we get to decide” what’s best for the audience and it’s platform.
@@squall600 I don't blame them for not wanting to have anything to do with MTV because that is something that I paid close attention to as the years went by less and less Rock act were being featured on the show I just like you said and one of them were being nominated I feel like that was the beginning of rock music depressed out of the mainstream for more mass produced quantity Music and the sad part is nowadays everyone calls Machine Gun Kelly Rock absolutely fucking sad
I thought it was because they were trolling over the pre recorded tracks, kind of like Nirvana that one time, but no they were just playing like shit to troll MTV
Serj: *deep speech about the world and the civilization"
Daron: YEEEEHAAAAAA
Nailed it!!! Lmfao😆
This comment literally made me lol haha!!!!!
soad in a nutshell
Made it heavy
That’s the point. Juxtaposition bro
Ahhh...what a relief to lived in the 90's and the early 2000. Amazing period. Got a lot of great sounds.
So did your mom

No doubt..
Peak generation music
Mtv2 was cool
MTV The Ocho was amazing too!
MTV still exists?
I saw SOAD when they were touring with Mudvayne and Slipknot. SOAD was one of the best bands I have ever heard live.
That was when I was 17...I am 39 now...and their music catalogue is still one of the best. They do not make a bad song..not one.
Bruh I love how Serj is not even trying on the BYOB chorus. Sounds like me at a karaoke bar at 3 AM
Because he was pissed off
@@scorchthetitan9255 No shit
Bars close at 2. But hey
He sang it like he does on the album... Not sure where you're getting that.
i heard daron hit a sharp note
4:05 REALLY GOOD, DARON!
i'll take this serj's vocals anytime vs. his current.
I love how (almost) every major band this era that played MTV shit on it... Without knowing what it'd become decades later. They'd see "these" years as the golden times of MTV, considering.
In BYOB he looks like some day to day business worker that got tossed on stage and forced to sing but then completely nails the song lol

4:06 I find it hilarious that they're playing so badly, and there are just dudes rocking out in the background regardless.
Even half ass or tripping....like top5%? Just my thoughts not even that big of a fan after toxicity. Just a good live show
That’s because they are still better than 90% of the bands out there
They're so good!!! That ending to byob is fucken epic!!
Before mumble rap, and MTV actually played music. Good Ol days
I'm glad i was able to experience that era first hand
@@bobbiesmith1812 ya me too. Now I realize what a great time it actually was.
About when they strated to blocked Slim Shady Videos 😢
What a band best I av ever seen and I av seen some good stuff
Love them probably more than any other band but serjs stage moves in this Performance are something you would see from a high school/local band.
HAHAHA Instead of "Why do they always send the poor" Daron said .....7:16
Спасибо! Как можно их не любить!!!
i like how daron is jst being daron , and not giving a fuck if he missed few chords🔥
I stayed awake to record the byob performance on my minidisc that time to show everyone on school on the next day 😂😂
Hermosos tiempos que nunca volverán :'c

¿Cómo que no? Seguro que este año sacan el nuevo álbum
@@gattuso2435 soñar es gratis
Ellos ya no son los mismos, Serj prácticamente ya no tiene esa voz potente que tenía
@@hyp_mez jaja no :c
I like how they still absolutely shred even when they’re intentionally trying to butcher the performance.
It looked like they weren't even playing.
no they butchered it alright
I like how your diffusion makes you think they are trying to butcher the song . I dont think they are trying this is pretty bad
Daron was always more concerned with being weird than actually playing the guitar.
@@smokinnplatez1426 this is well known that they butchered it on purpose because mtv called them political punk rock

Cuz that’s like, rock and roll, or whatever
It's just the live experience man. You should hear blink-182 live when Tom was still in the band lol no fucks given..
I like this performance it’s raw fuck it energy and serjs screams are on point
Hats down for the drummer and the bassist! You have to train very hard to be able to perform the songs without a mistake, despite this ego-shitting from the two geniuses besides you .... (the bad side of the great talent)
oh come on man, I love raw lives
I do agree, what a disaster!!! Daron screwed the show up as he often did, and Serj looks a bit pissed off...

Those yells are so metal brooo
That's right Daron. Tuning your guitar is for chumps.
That is funny as sh*t friend! Chords In key is such a sell out move, so below Dimebag DMak...
it was prolly tuned, he just played like shit

Frigging awesome band😎
The mixer for MTV awards always dropped the ball
Love that "YEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWW" at he end.
I always thought daron should sing the whispers in the opening verse instead of serj. Idk
True
1:29 man he got so close to running off the stage
Guaranteed not to get bored at a SOAD concert
I missed an entire concert of theirs because one of my buddies flopped like a fish and we handed him over a gate to some security guards.

@@SpicyMcGeezak So sorry :-(
the best live performance by Serj
Absolutely kills the “ SELF RIGHTEOUS SUICIDE “ high vocal in the last chorus. Beautiful ❤️🤘
System é foda , os melhores !!
Can't believe this was MTV 😳
i like chopsuey both food and music
When music was worth listening too... 😎
hilarius that they won a grammy on "best live performance" for byob and then they played like shite hahaha
The irony, but they played like shit on purpose because MTV labeled them as a punk rock band.
can you give the links for the exact BYOB that wins for that ?
@@sipenarekbecha7193 This video is it.
Music Bureau Investigation and what did they want to be labeled as? Bubblegum pop?

He still could!

Daron: aaaaaaaaaa
Serj: wtf bro!
They're trying to build a prison, and I think it's almost finished
To be fair, the band as a whole killed it. It was Daron who dragged the performance down 😉
Looks like daron is on some big time drugs or something lol
This is superb!
Showzaçoooo 💯
If you just compare then MTV awards with today's MTV awards it's almost funny what it have become today.
Mtv are awards are like a circus side show now compared to what they once were
The system itself did it, kinda fucked
