FACEBOOK ► / obeyyoursystemofficial SYSTEM OF A DOWN PERFORMING WAR? LIVE AT NPA, FRENCH TV SHOW 1998 (9/11) 60fps HIGH QUALITY/DEFINITION AUDIO/VIDEO.
I saw that live on french TV. My father was holding the remote control. He is into classical music and folk music, not at all into metal. I did not know System back then. I was sure he was gonna change the channel as soon as it got crazy ond loud. But he did not. He was like hypnotised and curious about that UFO band on the screen. Later some friend's big brother got a copy of there fisrt album. My favourite. The copy was labeled "system of THE down", a mistake. I really cherish that moment I shared with my dad watching this. Thank you for the upload
I relate to your dad, honestly. I'm no metalhead, I listen to anything influenced by blues and jazz, a few dance genres, world music and lots of electronic music. I never thought I would've gotten hooked up on metal as much as I got with System.
Spyros PETS Αυτό λέω αλλά όσο να'ναι το ταλέντο φαίνεται...Ασχέτως από την ηλικία τους...Μην ξεχνάμε ότι ο Serj είναι στα πενήντα του τώρα και καπνιστής...Σίγουρα δεν είναι όπως ήταν το 90 αλλά μετά από τόσο καιρό η κάθε μπάντα θα κάνει "κοιλιά"...
It's the intensity and energy that those songs gave off, steal this album was the beginning of the melodic feel. Self titled and toxicity had the most heavy metal feel, especially self titled
wow not surprising they grow to be one of the best metal bands ever, imagine seeing/hearing this for the first time. They really got a unique sound, not to mention that extreme energy. Gotta love them
@aggel beatboxer I don't see how toxicity ruined them. SOAD naturally progressed and changed with their music over time, but all of their albums are masterpieces. The thing that ruined SOAD was the big disagreements between Serj and Daron.
@@comicsans1689 em, you know we are not talking about the possibility of a new album right? We are just talking about the music and the lives, you know that right? Is there a song called "the big dissagrement between daron and serj"? I dont think so. Im just saying toxicity was, is, and always will be kinda shitty. Im saying that pre-2000 soad was my favourite, and i think toxicity ruined the energy of their lives and they're awesome songs.
Serj comes out on live TV wearing a shirt that says “Armenian Genocide”. Would that be allowed on today’s TV? I don’t know, SOAD still rocks either way.
+Dogtown Au pire tant pis si les gens ne veulent pas tenter d'écouter ça libre à nous de mettre nos écouteurs et garder cette bonne musique pour nous puis tant pis
First time I saw them at the Greek theater Los Angeles in 2004 was one of the best rock concerts I’ve ever seen. After they finished and left the stage the crowd kept cheering even after the lights came on hoping for an encore that didn’t happen. Seen them a bunch of times since but nothing came close to that show. Still a fan but I stopped going to their concerts.
Back in the days it a was great French show and it was a great time to perform in France guess they were happy to be here. Prior to that Nirvana had a nice live show here too.
Holy fuck, this has to be the absolute BEST performance ive ever seen. I love the self titled era, since its the only era serj mainly screams on every song, and before he learned to preserve his voice. John also bashing the SHIT out of those drums at the end looks so badass man. Since it was only one song they could put ALL their energy into it :D

everytime i come back to this video, i find myself smiling while reading this comment.
Wow dude
yea it's a mandela effect name change. pointed out about 5+years ago.
@@noblenessdee6151I think it may be the rise of autism and FAS. It's always been SOAD, named after a poem. So this one is a stretch

So much power, headbanging, screams, growls, man I miss the old System.
Spyros PETS Φίλε όλοι μας...So MUCH FUCKING PASSION AND ENERGY...Αλλά ακόμα το έχουν ;)
+Evris Karr Όχι και τόσο, ρε φίλε. Έχουν κουραστεί πλέον και αυτό φαίνεται στις τελευταίες συναυλίες τους.

+Evris Karr Ισχύει αυτό που λες. Επίσης, έχουν και οι τέσσερις ωριμάσει μετά από τόσα χρόνια, για να λέμε την αλήθεια.
Spyros PETS Σίγουρα ρε συ...Συμφωνώ...Μακάρι να τους δω ρε συ όμως έστω και μια φορά και ας έχουν ξεθυμάνει...😉
When Serj had tons of energy.
And on tons of drugs :P
Serj didn't do drugs, only Shavo and Daron
Back when Daron looked like a bird
@@christians494 lol
@@christians494 Serj DID do drugs hahaha just look up his name and weed. Boom
I love the 1998 - 2002 era of SOAD so damn much. The early days will always have a special place for me.
Fight the heathens if you have something to say

Eu te conheco?
nice pfp
En 1997 Serj también cantaba con mucha energía
They were definitely the strangest during the self-titled debut era lol
comassin nao entendi
That’s when they were nice and ripe lmao
(They were energetic, serjs voice was on point)
@Rufus McDoofus The Metal Geek I disagree, Hypnotize was powerful as well.
I feel like they tamed and adulterated themselves and their music to appeal to a wider audience. Kinda sucks...
it was also the best
Daron looks like a parakeet that just robbed a bank
He's my favourite!
hahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahaahahahahahhhahahahahhahhahahahhahahahahahaaahhahaahhaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahah
Daron moves like a bird or small dog in this era. He's so weird and lovable.
I have to say that is the most adorable and accurate compliment about him ever.
2:38 - 2:51
john looks so badass when he plays the drums
Be5t Bane ever
Slipknot vibes or why gas mask?
Damn Daron is full of energy (maybe coke) AWESOME.
😁😸
Maybe? Hahaha

One of the best metal bands ever???
You're on crack !
One of the best metal bands ever. I don’t think so. Overrated rubbish more like it.
@@nunya3251 you don´t know music
@@nighThawk__ ok then. If this simplistic does it for you, you go champ.
2:41 BEAST MODE:ACTIVATED
not sure if is John Dolmayan or Sid Wilson on the drums xD
+aris limbouris its John Dolmayan man
Guilherme Molina It's John Dolmayan, just younger and less fat
damn, it was a joke for christ sake
Nice joke
Gabriel Fantin sid wilson were a gas mask
1763 SOAD was best SOAD
nah 293 b.c soad was better
I love yall
@@kemikroz5683 No bro 0 b.c soda was better
@@mosesg.5359 No. 1st Century BC SOAD was better
@@fedora997 No, Prehistoric SOAD was better!
Holy shit, one of the best performances I've seen from them, cheers for uploading.
The best SOAD is before hiatus (1995 - 2006)
Maximus Queiroz lol there is no question
Hands Down
nope, best soad is 1995-2000. It really seems like toxicity ruined them.

These guys were my first concert. I was 11 or 12, have been a fan ever since then!
Been listening to them for 20 years ! And barely went to my first concert I'm 29
Un live de SOAD à la télé française, et surtout en 1998!! J'en reviens pas !
En plus la performance est franchement parfaite..
Vraiment!
Oui c'est assez fou
01:45 - One second I felt them in Batman Animated series. That spinning police bluelight and guitar like in OST
John is so fuckin epic in here!
Best band of all time
Worst* fixed it for you.
This band is absolute fucking trash.
@@shanesmith7672 Cry
@@Dani._03 don't cry mate it's ok
@@shanesmith7672 ur the one crying wdym
@@Dani._03 no you are, what do you mean?
Serj comes out on live TV wearing a shirt that says “Armenian Genocide”.
Would that be allowed on today’s TV? I don’t know, SOAD still rocks either way.
There would be a huge controversy because its America or Turkey would imprison him
@Alex Woodward Still when some shit happens America somehow gets involved
Probably not in todays France.
Actually In France is forbidden by the law say that the Armenians genocide is not true or even never exist
No nowadays his shIrt would FAKE NEWS
Woah. This is so cool to see. God i love them so much
Nice seeing you again ;))
That bass is absolutely perfect
Probably my favorite soad song. Studio quality live. Excellent footage.
THIS IS AMAZING! Thank you so much!
oh AMAZING! Thank you for uploading
Damn that was alot of energy on all their parts. More then I've seen them put out.
thank you broooo !!!!! amazing...
WE WILL FIGHT THE HEATHENS| Thx Obey
Back when my country had good taste in music.
Well, Gojira kicks ass!!
true
Perso quand je mets du SOAD on me dit "ah tu écoutes tes musiques de foufou" :(
La phrase typique, et encore "foufou" c'est gentil ! Laisse les avec leur Maitre Gims et Keen V à la TV qu'est-ce que tu veux...
+Dogtown Au pire tant pis si les gens ne veulent pas tenter d'écouter ça libre à nous de mettre nos écouteurs et garder cette bonne musique pour nous puis tant pis
0:37 John, already living in 2020
This is way better than most of their live performances I’ve seen. Good upload for sure.
I love the slunky dunk bass in this version!
That...Fucking...Energy.... Wow
Thanks for the upload. Brilliant taxicity
So is John on the drums or Sid Wilson
Well we will never know
Dima Shady 😂😂😂
Wake The Fuck Up SoADer ! I see you everywhere dude
You seem to be a giagant Ystem fan
Just like me ;)
Dima Shady Hahaha thnx...You seem to be dedicated to the band a lot too...😊😉
Wake The Fuck Up SoADer ! Hahah yeah
K.I.Z Of A Down that's john!
Omfg that's pure intensity!!!😍
Sonar en vivo en los 90's . recuerdos para toda la vida!
Holy shit this is such a good performance
what a strange stage. i would feel awkward playing there
Dakota Le Francois But what is the message in this song ? I mean why 'fight the heathens' ? Why ?
Severus Snape that has nothing to do with this comment
Thought the opposite. It feels less official like you were just going ro hang out and jam rather than perform, there's a little less pressure.
that energy is INSANE
What a perfect live O.o
Watching this I can immediately understand why they became big.
never saw this one man they killed it! love this old footage!
System nos Hipnotiza mesmo, o som pesado com as vozes grave e aguda toda a banda é extraordinária ❤
se vc pegar a musica roulette vc vai ter exatamente o oposto disso kkkk
Serj could of lead a revolution with that commander voice!
silversobe I feel like they were trying to in the early days lol
hell yeah!! awesome!! soad in the 90s was something else. love their energy and performance here
OS CARA TAVA PEGANDO FOGO NESSA ÉPOCA ✌
for 98 this has some pretty sick audio quality!
Been a fan for 20 years, yet never seen this video.
PERFECT!
Their Energy Was Unmatchable
nossa...aí sim..brutal...que system é esse..nem parece o dia hoje em dia
Holy fuck...hands down, One of the best live performances I've heard.
Now that’s the soad we know in love
Very first time I saw System of a Down on tv
This performance was incredible!!! Wow

Huevos en cajitas, huevos en cajitas!!!

System of a Down...gosh when they burst upon the scene it was so enjoyable.
Amazing musicians and they get heavy all the better.
hermano estos tios te mandan a volar a la luna con esa intro
Wish i had serj's energy! 😄🔥❤
J'aurais aimé y être 😢
Take me back there.
The best SOAD is pre 2000 SOAD
Everything before 2005
***** yep, but more concretely, the pre2000 SOAD in my opinion
Er yoni basically you like one album and their EP. Look it guys; hardcore fan right here.
+OneMoreMileAnHour
He never said he didn't like any of the other stuff. he just stated he liked pre-2000s SOAD more.
+Michael Wagner (Hatebreeder) yep, +1
2018 and I am HERE
Power!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
History teaches us so
The reason he must ooorDAIN!!
mt foda
What fuxking perfection this is. Unreal

Brasil !! SYSTEM
Really impressive production value for TV! Didn't seem like a show, looked more like a music video
Back in the days it a was great French show and it was a great time to perform in France guess they were happy to be here. Prior to that Nirvana had a nice live show here too.
Daron is so cute 😍😍😍😍😭😤
Best version of this song
I was born 1 week later! :D
after i saw the 2005 show of war, i cant stop saying "ten minutes" from the part 1:52
Yeah they make it longer
Serj's Shirt though, what a legend
nice.
02:51 one of the heaviest pieces of footage you'll find on the tube. Slipknot's "sic", also on this show, was on par.
Aguante SOAD Carajo!
