Haha Yeah, I've read the Nirvana thread.

Also, I respect other peoples opinions thats why I didn't respond to any posts until Mr. Hate dropped his hate bomb on me people of my musical taste. I was just offering the guy who was curious about what they're like in concert my opinion. I didn't really care what other people said.

Actually a shouldn't even be included in it, you don't include the, of, a, etc. Which is why its USA, not USOA, just as an example.

I can give you that..but srrsly...check out Mos Def..and Wu Tang

Again who is the hater.

Well I guess system of a down wanted to be different.

I saw them live about a year and a half (I think) ago. I don't remember it that much, but it was pretty sick. It was in a stadium and the whole lights effect and the music was pretty great, and Cedric is really energetic. However, I didn't know that many songs by them then, so I was kinda bored by the end.

Now as much as I hate SOAD, and dislike this guy, I have to say this. If everyone calls them SOAD, which everyone does, then it is acceptable. The whole point of a definition is that you shorten a word (or words) and you are still able to know what it means.

I believe it means, "take away his haterade."

I'm just being technical since he was, it should actually be SOD but its fine with it being SOAD since as you said everyone does.

I saw 'em live once with System of a Down. I love The Mars Volta, but it was pretty awful - I think its just because the sound setup was bad though, I know all of their music and I had a really hard time identifying what songs they were playing. I've heard nothing but good things about their live shows from other people that have seen them, though.
