8/8/05 Show Phoenix, AZ Review .. Goddamn!
Posted by veyr0n on Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - 02:07 AM
[Uma Thurman / Pulp Fiction] Goddamn!! I say, goddamn!! [/Uma]

System of a Down opened with 'Soldier Side', and closed with 'Sugar.'.. with a shitload of songs in between... I *think* they sang almost all Toxicity, Mesmerize, AND System of a Down (Self titled.), plus some songs from the upcoming album: Hypnotize, and 'Mr. Jack' from their Steal This Album album.
The band didn't fade out for a second. Shavo ran from side to side, jumping o­n amps and speakers. His stamina was really incredible.

Daron looked so mature now! He sang along with Serj perfectly. Serj played a dual piano in two songs I think.

John... JOHN!! He was VERY impressive! He is like the bastard child of a perfectly oiled and tuned ford big block, and a machine gun. WOW!!
 sTiK Review

"First 'Bad Acid Trip' played, they were ok. Then next up was 'The Mars Volta', they played good but I didn't like them in the first place and it was WAY too loud. The floor was dead, no o­ne was moving.

Then at about 9:15PM or so, SOAD came out. Everyone went crazy, everyone stood up and stood up for the entire concert.

'Soldier Side' started just as I had expected and they went straight into 'BYOB'. Everyone went wild, half the people left the seats and went to the floor. lalalalala and so o­n.
Then the next big thing was when 'Forest' came o­n. Daron told us to sing along and he started singing then stopped completely and we all sung a few verses.

A few interludes, "When I was a kid Superman told me to kill rock and roll and eat the little people or something like that.".

"In America, theres yellow people, and red people lets all come together and be PURPLE people."

A few nice solos and o­ne very nice solo that wasn't a song at all. A few times everyone had their lighters out and were singing along or clapping or whatever. The show lasted about a hour and a 40 minutes or so. I couldn't see them that well but I could see them enough to know who they were.
During all of 'Mr. Jack', Shavo was just sitting o­n the ground.

Hmmm, what else can I say. I don't know what else I could have possibly asked for except better seats. They played amazing better than any recording or video I had seen before, if not even better then the studio recordings. It was basically flawless."

What jonas_freddi is trying to say his family and friends were short fatasses who kept pushing everyone out of their way to get to the front so they can see. I was there.

I am with mrdudeman5672001. my first SoaD show and it was amazing.

But Bad Acid Trip was fuckin shit. "AWAHAYAWAHWAHYAHAYWAHWAYAHAHAHAHAHAWAHWAWAWAWA" Thats pretty much the vocals thru the whole show.

The Mars Volta pretty much made sounds until The Widow which was actually an awesome song. It was crazy when everyone rushed to the floor. Than everyone all settled down and Shavo got everyone to light their lighters as if it was a Led Zeppelin concert. Truely amazing.

Oh and sTiK he said "There were blue people" not yellow. I remember cuz when he said blue i thought he ment goth people all formed together to create the "trendy" emo group.

That crappy punk rock band at the very beginning really sucked.

The Mars Volta kinda dissapointed me, I expected more of them, not exactly sure what, but maybe more singing in their songs. If they had played Inertiatic ESP (SP?) they would have had a 3 and a half stars from me.

I didn't really expect SOAD to play ALL those songs!! I expected Mesmerize + A few covers and an odd old song, REALLY impressive tour they've got going on! I would love to assist maybe a Hipnotize tour. ;)

Man, that was my 1st soad concert ever. I can't belive how great it sounded. I was on the floor, just 1 person from the very front. I was on Shavos side of the stage and he looked straight at me for a good 5 or more seconds! I couldn't believe it!

Bad Acid Trip was kinda funny actually. At 1 time the lead singer actually got out a dildo??? What the hell is a guy doing with a dildo??? But he said it was just an inhancer. But its still gay no matter what he says. I guess you could say their name fits them perfectly.

The Mars Volta weren't that bad to me. I don't know, their whole set was basically just 1 long jam. But i tried to make the best of it and i just zoned out with the music. Its was better once i closed my eyes.

SOAD ROCK!!!!

The color thing Daron was referring to was a political reference. Like BLUE states and RED states, remember those from the last election?????

So blue people and red people.

There is no yellow.

FUCK U PIG!!!
