We went together, and we just got back, and we nearly shit our pants. Our throats are really sore, we didn't miss a word.

We arrived while Hatebreed was playing, they are pretty good. One song they played was EXACTLY like Bounce. We actually started singing along, as if Serj was singing .

Then Avenged Sevenfold came on, and frankly, they blew. Except when they played Walk (Pantera). It was funny when their singer started yelling, "IF YOU WANT TO SIT ON YOUR FUCKING ASS THEN YOU CAN! WE DON'T CARE!!" .

Then Disturbed. They were really good! It went so slowly because we were really waiting for System, we were counting down the minutes. There was one awesome speech that Derek (lead singer) gave about the bullshit music that is taking over the world.

And then SYSTEM OF A DOWN. Our first time ever seeing them.

When they were setting up, security let me (longjumper) go and LEAN on the stage and TAKE PICTURES OF JOHN'S SET!!! It was RIGHT there, wow,  I got Sako in some pictures too I think. I nearly shit myself, it was so cool, I saw the comics too. AHH!!!

And then Daron came out and started with Soldier Side, there wasn't any curtain or anything, I don't know if there was supposed to be.

Here's the rest of the setlist, we tried to put in the correct order...There are mistakes

Soldier Side (Intro)
Attack
BYOB
Revenga
Suggestions
Needles
(From here on, it's pretty out of order)
Cigaro (And the intro that Daron does, singing about his cock)
This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song
Sultans of Swing
Chop Suey
War?- With interlude, absolutely MIND BLOWING.
Violent Pornography- With intro from Daron, talking about Jesus towards the end. It was very true.
Lonely Day
Hypnotize
Old School Hollywood
Lost in Hollywood
Aerials- Serj sang, "We love you" with the last three notes. I screamed "I LOVE YOU TOO!"
Psycho- Daron fucked his guitar, as always. At the end of the solo, he did some awesome stuff with his guitar, it's hard to describe.
Toxicity- I saw Serj get really close to Daron and then I heard a smack/kissing sound. You could really see the brotherhood in this song, as always.
Sugar- We were waiting to see what Serj would say at the "My girl lashes out at me sometimes..." part, but he got distracted and didn't say anything!
 

Random notes:
We were on Shavo's side of the stage, about 15 rows back. He came over very often and at one point he was touching people's hands. He would point and wave and I'm about 99.999% sure that he saw us because we were NO DOUBT the loudest people in the section, I mean people were actually scowling at us we were screaming so much.

Several times I yelled, "I LOVE YOU JOHN!!" between songs, the last time it was dead silent and I'm pretty sure he heard me, hah.

We bought Daron a hat like he had in the Toxicity days but we couldn't get close enough to throw it, and we were also on the opposite side of the stage.

Harry Perry came on stage and played with them as well.

I had my face painted like Serj in the Sugar video, thanks to Flohmagawd!

All in all, they did an absolutely amazing job. No way in HELL are they losing it!!

My life is pretty much complete.
