System Of A Down is presently slated to play 13 exhibits in 2025, which is probably the most exhibits they’ve performed since 2017. And that is assuming that the band is not going to announce every other stay performances for the remainder of the yr. The exhibits embrace six in New Jersey, Illinois, and Ontario, in addition to a trek by way of South America.
So why abruptly is System Of A Down getting again on the market and taking part in exhibits somewhat extra often once more? In response to bassist Shavo Odadjian in an interview with Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, they’re “testing the waters.” Odadjian stated everybody in System Of A Down is getting alongside higher than they’ve shortly, although he notes there isn’t any grand grasp plan for large excursions or something like that.
“We’ve not performed lots collectively for some time. We have been doing one or two exhibits a yr since 2017,” stated Odadjian. “So, the relationships weren’t as nice as they’re now. It is simply everyone wasn’t on the identical web page. We have been speaking. All the pieces’s nice, knock on wooden. Everybody’s completely happy. So we determined to check the waters and play some exhibits. And that is what it’s. There is no such thing as a technique to it, there isn’t any plan to do the remainder of the world simply but.
“I am not saying it is not gonna occur; I am not saying it’s gonna occur. We instructed one another, ‘Let’s play it by ear, do these exhibits, see how we really feel afterwards. If we do not wanna do any extra, we do not do any extra. If we wanna do extra, we’ll do extra.’ There isn’t any heavy duty on anybody, as a result of I really feel like a number of it’s simply pondering an excessive amount of, overthinking what may occur.”
“Unhealthy experiences have occurred to sure individuals, and so they form of maintain that as PTSD, I feel. And now that issues are higher, we’re older, we’re, like, ‘Dude, no stress, bro. Let’s simply do it. If we prefer it, we do. If we do not prefer it, we [don’t].’ ‘Trigger you recognize what? Serj had a good time at Sick New World final yr. We had such a tremendous, enjoyable present and everybody left the stage hugging. And so he referred to as again, he is, like, ‘Dude, I beloved it. Let’s do extra of those.’
“In order that’s the place that occurred. We’re, like, ‘Let’s go.’ So long as everyone seems to be down. Daron was down. So we determined, ‘Let’s take a look at the waters. Let’s not simply go full blast and begin doing months. Let’s simply take a look at the waters with three exhibits.’ These three exhibits turned to 6.”
As for any future excursions, Odadjian added: “We are able to do it. Look, for the previous couple of years, we have been doing one or two exhibits. And we go and we rehearse two weeks for one present. I feel that is not sensible. So six exhibits is best than one present to me. I am going to take it. I am going to take it, and I am not gonna ask for extra. I would like it to occur organically. I feel our band is that band — we won’t be instructed what to do. The extra we push one another to do one thing, the much less we do. So I determine the much less we push, the extra we’ll do. It must be executed as a result of we wanna do it, we like to do it, and that is why we do it.”
