System Of A Down is presently slated to play 13 reveals in 2025, which is probably the most reveals they’ve performed since 2017. And that is assuming that the band is not going to announce some other reside performances for the remainder of the 12 months. The reveals embody 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 enjoying reveals a little bit extra commonly once more? In keeping with 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 is not any grand grasp plan for large excursions or something like that.
“We have not performed lots collectively for some time. We have been doing one or two reveals a 12 months 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. The whole lot’s nice, knock on wooden. Everybody’s pleased. So we determined to check the waters and play some reveals. And that is what it’s. There is no such thing as a technique to it, there is not any plan to do the remainder of the world simply but.
“I am not saying it isn’t gonna occur; I am not saying it’s gonna occur. We informed one another, ‘Let’s play it by ear, do these reveals, 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 is no heavy duty on anybody, as a result of I really feel like numerous it’s simply considering an excessive amount of, overthinking what may occur.”
“Unhealthy experiences have occurred to sure individuals, they usually type of maintain that as PTSD, I believe. 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 understand what? Serj had a good time at Sick New World final 12 months. We had such a tremendous, enjoyable present and everybody left the stage hugging. And so he known as again, he is, like, ‘Dude, I liked 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 reveals.’ These three reveals turned to 6.”
As for any future excursions, Odadjian added: “We will do it. Look, for the previous few years, we have been doing one or two reveals. And we go and we rehearse two weeks for one present. I believe that is not sensible. So six reveals is healthier 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 believe our band is that band — we will not be informed 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 ought to be completed as a result of we wanna do it, we like to do it, and that is why we do it.”
