yeah, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. fred durst is arguably our generation's finest cultural spokesman. his observations are always nuanced barbs directed towards social ills and mass apathy and ambivalence. i once saw fred wearing a sonic youth t-shirt. how can he be so bad if he's down with the underground?

They were from Irvine, CA, they were contrived by a music business exec, and they were called Rage Against the Machine.

It seems like some of you guys expect SOAD to be super heros. It says on their website that they came down with "seasonal illness" and they had to cancel the show after the 9:30 club. I'm guessing it was too late to cancel the 9:30 club show so they just had to go out there and do it. If it is true that they were actually sick then I give them credit for trying. They are only human and humans get sick. I know when I get sick it's no fun. As far as their performance I think they did a good job. They sounded great. Yes, I was a little disappointed that the show was only an hour and that they didn't play an enchor but I am still a fan. They can hate America but still like Americans. I think System mostly hates the way America is run not the indivdual people that live there. It's silly to say that they played a crappy show b/c they hate America. Every band has their bad days. That was my first time seeing SOAD so it's only fair to judge them after seeing at least one more show. If they act the same I might lose some respect for them, but I doubt this will happen again. I have faith in my music tastes.

You're going to have to be more specific.

What's up guys. I was also at the show and had a great time. I was also shocked to see Daron not move and go all out crazy with the guitar. But then I learned that they were sick and understood why he acted the way he did. I see a lot of people have complained about that but I think we just have to understand that being a "rock star" is not as easy as it looks. They are traveling constantly, probably not getting half as much sleep as we do. And on top of that, a crucial illness. Yes I know it's their job, but we all have our bad and sick days.  And like one person said, they are human and humans get sick. This was my first SOAD show and I LOVED it. However, i've downloaded almost every concert video and I know how CRAZY Daron can get and I just wished I could have seen that. But nonetheless, the show was an incredible experience for me and I've never been so pumped up and happy at a show. My only true complains were, well, wheres his damn Ibanez Iceman guitar! =p .. well, besides that, I didn't like how they cut off Toxicity and Bounce. They stopped right at the parts where it was gonna go crazy! lol. That's my two cents.

Interesting stuff.  I just have to say that for anyone who missed it last night it was a brilliant show.  Sure the set was only an hour long but they never stopped playing.  I read on here about how SOAD hates Americans and that's why they didn't talk to their fans; that guy must still be wasted from yesterday.  I wish more musicians would be like system and just come out on stage and play their stuff and then leave.  too many bands today try to push their political views or this that and another thing.  I paid 30 dollars to see them play music and that's exactly what I got last night.  they won't play a show like that again for years, if ever.  my only regret is that they left P.L.U.C.K. off the setlist, but damn if they didn't play everything else.

After posting the first message, I found out that they were playing sick, I had no idea, otherwise I would not have posted it.  I agree with most of you, system of a down are great musicians and I will not stop liking them because of one show even though I put that.  I will not let one show ruin my 7 years of supporting them.  Like most of you I will be purchasing the new cd.  Sorry if I offended anyone.  Take care.
